Caught my 11.4 pound PB this spring Hopping a blade babe after watching Matt have an epic day hopping blade baits and crushing fish.I never would have thrown a blade bait if I had not heard you guys talk about them
something about catching fish on hopping reaction is just one of my all time favorite ways to fish. Blade baits, spoons, lipless cranks. makes winter fun.
Got lucky and had a Friday morning off. Took off to the lake early and just got off the water. Probably should have watched this before I left the house cause it would have helped
Damiki blades and tailspins are my go to’s! I was out fishing ( California guy )in Tennessee last January … air temps 19-23 degrees, water temps 40-43 degrees. My buddy and I fished 4 days in a row and I caught all my bass on blades and tailspins… I threw other baits… Ned rigs, Texas rigs, underspins, and keitech swimbaits to no avail. Hopping a blade in 15-25’ of water or slow rolling a tailspin mid water column did the trick!
You mean Oregon Wolfe’s eat all the fish 🐟 in Idaho nothing left 🤫🤐🤣 Portland and Seattle is the place to be guys not Idaho we have no fish or anything left.
Awesome video Tim! I love blade baits and spoons! Definitely putting these tips to use on Sunday at our tourney! Tight lines y'all 🎣🙌💪👊 #1tacticalbassinfan
Hey Tim, Why Mono on Braid if your going deep? I think “shock” value for the stretch? - but doesn’t it slow the fall rate down? Is that the point? Thank you for reply in advance
In the TW reviews on your link for the Vault, there was a comment supposedly from the manufacturer dated 1/20 that they were considering upgrading the hooks. I guess they haven't done this?
I'd probably start deep.. the cold weather moving in is goin to push them more to head offshore and deeper to escape the elements.. so I'd probably go as deep as u can get from the bank.. I didn't know they did bank tourneys but that's definitely cool my friend but cold fronts to me says maybe start slow and on a bigger side of finesse baits (if that makes sense), or some lipless crank baits or if access to any structure then my personal favorite is jig fishing.. good luck my friend and tight lines 🤙
@@cra-bassint.v.5664 yeah they do bank pond fishing tournaments. I very rarely fish a cold front so i really dont know how to do well. but the tournament is on a cold front and i have to fish it
Tim here in Australia we can buy a blade bait shaped like a prawn that is rigged with assist hooks on cord that trail the blade...They are manufactured by Eco Gear...Check them out mate you will love them trust me...best regards B.J.
I noticed you have the bladed treble on the front hook. Do you ever make both hooks the bladed ones? Or to they foul up? Also does it matter if the bladed hook is front or rear?
At the risk of asking a stupid question, other than sound, what's the difference in a "blade" bait and a "lip less" crankbait? Or are they the same thing? I see the Blade bait and think That's just a Rattletrap without the rattle, but I also see it as a Lip Less CB
@@RobShortonGooglePlus Ah, that makes sense. I guess I've never bought blade baits and didn't realize they were solid metal. I was only seeing the shape and knew something looked different but never put 2 & 2 together. Thanks
Never caught anything on rattle trap i probly worked it wrong..this year i caught big bass on jig skirt with worm on trailer zara spook and soft lure shad r whatever it is.best year ever 8 r 9 bass.people think there isnt any good ones left in the lake fools.throw them back in letit grow on u
You keep saying "bottom" with a heavy metal jig with a treble hook... So it's safe to assume blade bait fishing you lose a lot of lures. I may pass on this bait for most structure fishing.
Buy a lure retriever.. there's a cple different options for different lures and baits.. it'll save u a ton. And allows you to be dynamic and put lures that the bass already eat, but presents it in a way the fish never seen in places they never see it.. hope this helps bud and tight lines my friend
@@cra-bassint.v.5664 Haven't heard great things about those retrievers so not sure if it's worth it banking on that. And I'd Imagine using that thing all day long would get tiresome but I do appreciate the tips. Thank you bro tight lines 🎣💯🤙
I use almost all treble hook baits for vertical jigging and ice fishing and don’t foul up nearly as much as I thought I would at first either. It’s worth a shot bc like stated above it presents the fish a bait where they normally would never see it

Teaser blade hooks!!!! YOU SPILLED THE BEANS, MAN!

Hey Tim, thank you, IMHO I think this video is the best video ever from you, and I have seen all of them. Thank You!
Thanks gunna add to my fall arsenal, favorite time of year to fish.
Gotta love the blade bait action! Awesome!

Tim and Matt, don't forget about the lipless cranks for muskie fishing!
Blades are a staple here in north idaho for giant smallies and walleye in the spring and fall. Love me some blades

@@bigbulls6562 you’re definitely right 😉
@@bigbulls6562 heard California has good fishing too🥱
Started throwing blades a couple winters ago down in Florida, never did great on the bass but caught some giant crappies.
Perfect timing! Was already going tomorrow and thinking of using blades and spoons!! 🤘🏻🎣
Great video! Right on time!
This week, 4 years running, Oct 22nd-29th I have caught my biggest bass of the year, on the same lipless crank.
I have the same story in february,except its only three years running.pretty crazy
Awesome job Tim 👏👏
Blade baits are really starting to catch fire in the ozarks. Table Rock to be exact. AWSOME way to catch a limit.
Do you live close to there?
Love the video
Gotta admit I'm a bit jealous you're water looks nice. Been raining here in Ohio for almost 4 days everything is chocolate milk.
Thank you great video !! thanks im ready to catch so fish now !!
Megabass Salty Mach!! Different hard thump!! Catches giant trout as well!! Stout hooks!!
I was catching grouper on that damiki this summer lol I have no clue how to fish Florida salt cuz I’m from Maryland but it worked
Between you guys and "the hook up tackle" I'm going Broke! Yeah i learnt something from this video.... it's called don't watch it on Payday.
Awesome video Tim! I love blade baits and spoons! Definitely putting these tips to use on Sunday at our tourney! Tight lines y'all 🎣🙌💪👊

Always awesome advice and content Brother. Can I get some of that sunshine here in Kentucky please 😎😎🌞🌞
In Australia we use Eco Gear prawn blades rigged with assist hooks tied on cord trailing the blade...deadly on bass...
Awesome intro!!
I used a soft shad looking fish bait 1st time caught a 4pouder last week alton il park has decent lake.
VERY NICE BROTHER
Hey Tim,

Well said!
I’m talking about the Jackall Keyburn can you bottom fish that in grass bottom lake?
Please don't talk about the deracoup 🤫🤫that's my ish Tim. And great vid Tim my other blade baits need to touch the water this fall thru winter
Are you able to fish the ones with just two hooks on them in grass? Specifically that last blade bait before the video ended?
In the TW reviews on your link for the Vault, there was a comment supposedly from the manufacturer dated 1/20 that they were considering upgrading the hooks. I guess they haven't done this?
On the smaller damiki fault what size upgrade for hooks do you use and split rings
Im fishing a bank tournament next week and its 2 days after a big cold front, what lures should i be fishing and should i focus deep or shallow water?
I'd probably start deep.. the cold weather moving in is goin to push them more to head offshore and deeper to escape the elements.. so I'd probably go as deep as u can get from the bank.. I didn't know they did bank tourneys but that's definitely cool my friend but cold fronts to me says maybe start slow and on a bigger side of finesse baits (if that makes sense), or some lipless crank baits or if access to any structure then my personal favorite is jig fishing.. good luck my friend and tight lines 🤙

Yes
I’d wld take the mountain of stock hooks u guys switch out on all u baits
I noticed you have the bladed treble on the front hook. Do you ever make both hooks the bladed ones? Or to they foul up? Also does it matter if the bladed hook is front or rear?
Hello, I'm called the (Eight Rodd Banditt) 🎣 but my real name is Cory, thanks to you for the videos! 🎣
Great stuff! I luv heavy metal!
Can we get an updated graph setup up front??
Do you use swivel on the blade baits or not

I’m getting the line into the hook doing the lift technique. How do I fix that? There not the baits shown.
Sounds like you need to go to a heavier line or leader to help prevent the hook wrap.
Looks like soddy creek?
What mount are you running your mega live on? 🧐
That's just go fair but also nice to see in the morning
Y mono leader on braid?
What's your favorite brand/style treble hook to use as a replacement on new lures?
