#swimbait #fishing #swimbaitfishing
Really enjoying these longer on the water videos. Hearing your thought process is very informative
I picked up the 6” Magdraft based on your consistent recommendations and I can’t make this up… took it out same day and landed a nice largey within 5 minutes of casting!! Thank you TB for the great content and info!!!
Wow Matt! Mark that lake down! lol What a fun a day! Thanks for all the work for the community!
Thanks Anthony! Too much fun!
Anyone else stop everything they are doing to watch TB???
Every morning!!!🌅🙌🏻🎣👍🏻
Every time!😂
Hell yeah me
Yeah, my bos hates me for it
Double digits only
Swimbait legend! Thanks for all you do, Matt. Really inspiring. Literally better than anything on TV hahah. What a day!!!! Keep doing what you guys do!!!
Thanks so much!!
Thanks for sharing. I've been using the Magdraft 6" alot with huge success. You've convinced me to try the eight inch now.
The 8 is a serious fish catcher too!
TB got me into bigger bait fishing this year and man has it paid off in a big way. Have caught several big fish on that 8” Mag, one being a new personal best at 8lb 9oz. Give it a go and don’t stop throwing it until you catch ‘em, then you won’t want to put it down lol
Fishing northern pikes in Denmark with my 10” mag draft and it works. Go BIG allways
Thank you Matt! You and Tim have taught me so much the past 2 yrs. You both are very good teachers and willing to help us learn to be better anglers
Thanks Ray! I hope you're seeing the benefits!
Wow. Dude you know your craft, what an awesome demonstration of this.
I caught a 12” bass this weekend that had at least two 5-6” shad in its stomach. Also had one down it’s throat. One thing I’ve learned is don’t underestimate how big a bait a small fish will eat and don’t overestimate how small a bait a big fish will eat.
was fishing earlier this year, dropped a doll fly for crappie into a brush pile, 14" bass grabs it. I was shocked and impressed
Verify nice to finally meet Tim and his son yesterday on the water, hope to see you both on the water, keep making the great videos
It was great meeting you as well Chad!
@@tacticalbassin you caught my pole… hahaha i’ve been watching you guys for years, absolutely love what you do, this is the best video I’ve ever seen, I took my nephew fishing seven years ago at Rocky Mountain in Rome Georgia, and he accidentally threw my pole in the water in front of the church, for you to actually hook into it and real it in and get it on camera is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen, what a small world. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Great confidence booster for somebody like me that's just getting into soft plastic swimbaits. Thanks
I’m sure you caught my PB five times today and just tossed it like a dink 😂😂😂. This channel is amazing and has taught me so much 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Started fishing the Magdraft this year. Quickly became one of my favorite lures. There’s no doubt when you get a hit!
Right?? They SMASH IT!!
Matt is literally the ONLY guy I know who comes home from the lake with MORE gear than he left with.... 😂
😂😂😂
I love that little TB underspin with a 3.5 swammer
I dont see why you guys don't have 1 million subscribers. Great video.
Thank you!!
That first fish...what a beautiful bass.
That's the go to. Budget finesse. Setup. Period ❤
Morning coffee with TB, life is good.
🙌 Thanks for coming along!
That's why I always have a sharpening stone in my pocket, always touch up dull hooks.
Thanks for these on the water videos, I can't fish & haven't been for almost a year, now as I'm going through health issues,! Videos are as close to real action as it can get for me, God bless,tight lines!
Hang in there Donald!
Thanks gentlemen!!! Loved your recap.. you nailed it!! Picked up a magdraft to get into swimbaits and caught my PB first time out. 6 lbs 13 ounces. This content gives me even more confidence.
Thats awesome! Nothing like instant confidence with a catch like that!
I never knew about bass trapping baitfish in those pockets. next day went to a good pond I know threw a small chatter bait in it and caught two 3.5lbs and a 4 back to back to back. thank you sm
Oh my, what a day! I really appreciate sharing the fishing…. But, I love that you took the time to teach afterwards. Really helps me learn fast, thanks Matt!
I'm so glad it helped!
That giant on ur under spin was awesome man
My uncle and I were fishing the California aqueduct last summer and he pulled up the whole setup just like that with the swimbait still attached. It was 7’ bigwater ugly stik, I think it had an ugly stik spinning reel on it also which I could not open to clean so I had to toss it out. My uncle let me have it. And a few months later that rod ended up catching 2 personal records back to back. A 31” striper on Sat and a 33” on Sun. The video is awesome! Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
🌅👋🏻🎣👍🏻
@@midwestfischermanaloha brah!
The greatest lines in fishing, welcome back to tactical bassin and my matt Allen favorite line,let's see if we can catch some fish,brilliant
Thank you Scott!
Great lesson teach
This is the 3rd channel I’ve watched in a week that has caught another rod 😂. I caught one 2 weeks ago myself actually
Nothing like a good ol fashioned big bait beat down awesome
Thanks man! It's been a while, I hope you're doing well!
I absolutely love the magdraft! It just bring in fish, love your channel!
It sure does! Thanks for the support!
What a epic day. Great vid.
Any day you can hook up on nice fish and go home with more tackle than you left with is a great day.
Crushing it Matt!
Holy smokes!
8 in Mag Draft doing major damage
What a freaking Day.
Great video
Great video of an unreal day. Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us addicts.
Thanks for coming along!
This my friend would be my dream day. Golly!! Those were some great fish!!
It was a blast! Thanks for coming along!
Thanks for the confidence builder, I've gone bigger this year than ever and I'm hoping 3lb 14oz is in the past! Fantastic presentation sir!
Thanks! Your time is coming, keep slinging those bigger baits 👍🏼
I love the Mag Draft!!! I live on Lake Fork and smashed them in March. The biggest was 9.18!
You had an awesome day!!!
Congrats on the 9! That's a BIG one!!
You wanna give that away ? Hahaha what a find dude, I love learning something new every time I watch you guys.
👏🏼
Great day to get to watch! Fun video Matt!
I just bought my first 8inch magdraft. 😂 hope I get a similar day
He picked a good lake to try that big bait on, lots of good ones caught there over the years. I have caught a few good ones on the other side of that causeway over the years.
What lake is that?
Damn Matt can’t wait to chuck my 8” Mag this week!
They love that thing! Let us know how it goes!
I certainly appreciate that rod & reel you caught if you don't wanna keep it..
I have a couple 6" magdraft and trying to get myself to throw them more often. I can assure you I will be throwing more big swimbaits. Thx for the vid.
Awesome! You can do it Keith!
Straight up wrecked em on that new lake. Awesome!
It was fun for sure!!
That was a great day of fishing 🎣 congrats Matt I'm jelly LOL!
Ha! Thanks Victor!!
That regal is my favorite spinning reel.
Threw the Tactical Underspin 1/4oz/2.8 Keitech on a Expride B 7’2” ML casting rod/Aldebaran 50 today. Found my favorite Underspin and the perfect setup for it 💰
Thats awesome!! That combo would be a dream for the Underspin! If you get a chance we'd sure appreciate an honest, positive review of the underspin on Tackle Warehouse 👍🏼
Awesome day
What a day
Beautiful big fish, that looked like a really fun day. I’ve been wanting to get my hands on the 5” Bacca Burrito in tactical shad. Tackle Warehouse has been out of stock what seems like forever.
Coffee and TB to start the day! It really is easy to over complicate things. I’ve been wanting to get into swimbait fishing, just can’t make up my mind on a rod for bank and kayak fishing.
Great stuff as usual, Matt!
Thanks Ricky! Which rods have you considered? Perhaps we can add a little insight.
@@tacticalbassin mainly looking at the 7’9 Heavy Dobyn’s Champion. I’m not a tall guy, 5’8”, so it’s been difficult for me to decide on one I feel wouldn’t be a nightmare to throw from the bank or kayak.
Thats a solid option for sure. What baits do you intend to throw?
@@tacticalbassinstuff like the Magdraft, Burrito, Tactical Wake, and maybe some glide baits like the Spro Chad Shad.
Your my hero 😅
Boat flipping giants with that Zodias 😂 I love my Zodias rods ❤
At 16:44 that fish never stood a chance Matt practically skied that fish across half the lake
Had that happen to me a couple weeks ago, couldn’t buy a bite on anything I usually catch em on. Tied on an Swaver 168 and had a 4lber slap it and miss right at the bank then proceeded to catch a 2.5, 1.5 and a 5lb.
Sounds like Matt but looks like Tim lol. Great way to start the week. Coffee and tatical bassin
Bro. Im hooked now! Thank you
My guy..
My dude!!!
My brother from another mother!
He's always smashing them! 🤙
#Hammer😎🇺🇸
Thanks David! 👊🏻
Hammer Alert!
Great video Matt, as always love watching your Guy's videos learning new stuff.
Thanks Kevin!
Wow this was enjoyable! Love learning from you Matt. Thank you.
Thanks Micah! I appreciate the support!
I would love to see you fish the Bassmaster Opens. Not to prove anything but to see your whole process. You could easily have a video series that documented everything. I think it would be amazing. You are easily one of the best freshwater fisherman in the world. You consistently catch monsters.
Thank you Eric! I respect what those guys do but I'm just not competitive and have no desire to go do it. I love helping and watching anglers like yourself thrive and Tim and I are committed to keeping our content on schedule to achieve that goal.
Just casually boat flipping 8s 😂👏🏼
I caught my first Musky yesterday and i was over the moon. First time using braid to fluro and leader. I trust your guys opinion. It came through in the clutch.
Awesome!!! Way to go! 🙌
@@tacticalbassin man, thank you so much. Over the years I’ve learned so much I even caught my first Swimbait bass a few years back on a Mattlures Meathead. God bless you guys.
Enjoy learning some of the tricks of the trade, So thank you for that, Here's a question for you: Over the year, How much $ do you think you lose due to Hang-ups, Snags and other Mishaps?
Awesome session and great info!!
Great video Matt. And some great catches on the magdraft. I am going to start throwing the big swimbaits more this year.
Thank you Greg! Stick with it and the right fish will come 👍🏼
If lovin Tactical Bassin is wrong… I don’t wanna be right!!!
😂😂😂
Would have been a great day to do a side by side comparison with the Daingerous swim bait but still great video man
Great video Matt!!
Matt Allen with a Daiwa reel.. hell’s freezing over, pigs are flying 😂😂😂
Ha! We vow to try it all and form honest opinions so we can compare everything accurately... I'm following through 👍🏼
Man, sick video on a new lake and catching monsters. Keep it up!
Thank you!!
Man Matt, Bull Shoals has been just how your saying at that lake. Alot of beds that are empty or with little bucks on them. We did have alot more water though, and then the Corp of Engineers, in all their wisdom, started dumping water and the weather dropped off so it got funky in the shallows. Deeper water is producing for me with swimbaits and jerkbaits.
Man we need some steady weather...Im ready for the skinny water to turn on!
I can honestly say, I've never caught a rod/reel combo!
Damn, you amaze me, Matt. Those jigs are hard to catch.
Would you guys consider doing a knot video? Just the knots you guys use for swimbaits/glidebaits, line to line, drop shots, etc?
Sandiego jam perfect for swimbaits
If I'm not mistaken, there is one from a few years back. Look in their video archives on the channel...
OMG you got the rod I lost. Teasting, I got the last one back; I'm not alone I see.
멋진영상 잘보고갑니다 굿이네요 ♡♡♡
Great video man. Ive got a couple Magdrafts in my bag and I need to start throwing them more.
Thanks Michael! They're definitely worth the effort.
Old Hickory? You can be a hero one day and a zero the next on that lake!
Great video as always Matt! 🤙🎣
Thank you!
I’m going to ask the question that everyone wants to…….what are your thoughts on the Daingerous swimbait? Thanks
Tim and Matt,
Great video thanks for teaching us all so much have been dialed in and Georgia catching dirty 30s each trip yahoo
I use a 7' 5 heavy Corrado for the regular Magdraft but I'm not sure it has enough for the freestyle.
It's right on the line, ideally you'd have a little more rod but if you hit hard with braid it MIGHT work.
Great video,love swimbait videos
I remember the first TB utube video I saw. You were explaining rod action using visual examples with different rods stuck in concrete block using (I believe 3 lb) weights tied on.
I subscribed, turned my son on to you, and we've been avid followers ever since. We have learned so much from you, and I'd like to thank you for all of the continuing knowledge.
[ This of course causes me to reevaluate my personal fishing. Forty years ago, I was throwing Manns Jellyworms/Culprit Curlytails), jig-n-pigs and dancing Rapalas on the top. Period!]
*B u t......there are days when you absolutely "kill'em" that it is so hard not to say "Frick You," jump in the lake, swim to shore, sit down and pull out my remaining hair! This is one of those days....
Reevaluate, reset, and continue to put one foot in front of the other. Never give up!! How about a video where you and Tim catch nothing but half pound dinks!!
*Full disclosure, I did say "F r i ck Y o u" after watching today's video!
You guys 'rock', I'll be watching and wishing y'all continued success.
Sorry about pissing you off 😆 And we both really appreciate the support through the years! I know exactly what video you're referencing, that was on the side of the old barn.
@TacticalBassin 😄 No problem Matt....piss me off anytime you want. You keep fishing, and I'll keep watching!!!
Absolutely great show buddy
Thank you!!
Simply unbelievable! But it is.
Thanks Greg!
I would love to throw a magdraft but I only have a MH bait caster. looks so fun!
Try the 5" Magdraft..pretty sure they still make them
I needed to hear/see this. I'm that guy that wants to catch fish so he never throws his mag draft and throws all the other "things" instead
Great Video Matt. I have 2- 6 inch Magdraft baits but no treble rigs! I do have the large underspin single hook rigs but want to get the treble rigs for insurance!
Matt great video again ,good for you man.I guess your having a day when you doent need the net because there only 5 or 6 pounds.
Thanks! It was fun for sure!!
I just caught my biggest bass of the year on a 5.8 keitech. She was right at 4lbs!
Way to go!!
Caught my pb this past weekend on the tactical underspin up here in WI
Awesome!!! Way to go!!
That Fury was the catch of the day. I’d rather catch those all day. Haha
