I just subscribed, B-Lat is brilliant! You can tell how smart someone is by how simple they make things that others love to complicate. I always feel smarter after listening to B-Lat, another sign of true genius!!
Exactly! B-Lat offers a treasure of knowledge and experience in easily digestible form. I am new to swim-baits, so I was planning to spend a whole evening on TH-cam learning about different swim-baits but Brian covered all the beginner bases in 15 minutes. : -)
Brian, Thank you so much for throughly and simply teaching us how to get started with swim baits! I just recently caught my first fish, stripers, on swim balls during the spawn on the Sacramento River on 5 inch swim baits. What a hoot! Thanks for the great tips! John McHatton
Very informative. I had no idea there were so many strategies to catching fish. Good job with this video. You are very easy to listen to. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Appreciate seeing you get that Z Man onto that spiral bait holder. I had given up on that until I saw how you stretch the bait out and rotate it forcefully onto the bait holder. I enjoyed your presentation.
I'd have to add soft plastic jerk baits to that list like the Z-man's jerk shadz. I probably catch more fish on those than any other type of soft plastic.
Heck yeah I needed this one thank you I've been going back and forth complicating things banger brother looking forward to seeing what the next one brings
I tried Zman swim baits for about 6-8 months I really wanted them to be my go to because of the durability. I fished many hours with them. I eventually went back to keitechs. Idk what it is but a keitech simply gets bit WAY more then most swim baits like the zmans.
Love it my brother !! Always giving me info to use when I go out. Hope to meet you one day ,and catch a seminar here in Orlando area. God bless you and your family.
I enjoy all your videos they are very helpful to me I like the way you break everything down so I can understand what you are talking about I just wish I had a good GPS system so I can understand what you are talking about when you are explaining how to use your GPS to locate fish. I just don’t have the money to buy. The good ones have a good price on them and I have bills that get most of my money. I love to bass fish but family first. Thanks you for all your information
Thank you for the info! I've been fishing the rivers near me with a 3" curly tail white grub, but it sounds like I'm fishing too small of a bait for right now!
Brian , you have a Reel Talent , u are one of the Best in the business !! Keep up the Great Videos I learn so much each video I am Kayak Bass Fisherman from Canada Stay Safe Kennedy Canuck
I've been using the ZMan Minnowz for several years now in the 3" size along side some others and no other gets more bites than the ZMan Minnowz - period. And where did I learn this? I learned it from the man himself BLat during a guide trip on Hartwell a few years back! It is still to this day the single best fish catching tip I've ever received. Thanks again B!
I'm more of a saltwater fisherman but definitely love largemouth, smallmouth, and peacock bass and I can vouch that the z-man minnowz crush all the bass and the snook, redfish, and tarpon. Its just a perfect plastic lol
This really helped me understand when to use it and rigging. Only 1 fish so far a smally..close to a tree hit it quick. Great action on those once you get em rigged proper. Pretty sure I missed one or too.
I love the 4-6 inch kietec on a jig head and also love my two 6” Huddlestons but any swim bait with matching size jig head just catches bass you’d be surprised that a small bass eats a giant swim bait
Why don’t you like that graphite (?) Spider Wire, why the clear stuff? Does it really scare fish from the catch? Great video, loved your knowledge. Thanks.
Also, great video BLat. I have started using Z-man Baits almost exclusively now so getting to know threse baits a little more helps alot! Good looking out man, much appreciated.
i’m 2 years late tryin the minnows, the 3” version could almost be used as a ned rig bait as well. savage gear has a minnow thats about 3” but they get destroyed quickly. why i love zman is the durability
@@BrianLatimerFishing i've slept on these z-man elaztech swimbait trailers only using hogfarmer spunkshad trailers for my chatterbaits, keitechs for my jigheads or underspins and xone swammers for my swimjig trailers, but to see how good these look will have me buying some to try. all the others i mention as you know you basically get one shot or so when putting on as a trailer before you rip them up with keitechs being the least forgiving. glad i sub'd this channel.
Great information ty I've never fished bass I've always wanted crappie but I'm learning how and want to try my hand at bass...instead of trying it on can I use a clip swivel effectively?
Leave them in the package they come in and put the packages in a bait binder or big Tupperware container. Thats what I do and I never have any issues even on days when its close to 100° F
Thank you brother!! I’m a veteran, disabled and fishing is my passion and my sanctity. I appreciate you and your videos. Fish On and Tight Lines!
Your videos are so down to earth, no aggravating music, just pure teaching. Thank you
100% first video I saw addicted
Love how you simplify the beginner process using swimbaits. As well as their versatility.

Good job man! I can't disagree with anything you said here. "Laid-back Latimer" schools real good! Much love.
Try the Rage Swimmers
Timeless advise😎🤙🏾still working 4 years later.
I ran into you a few yrs back on Hartwell, you were a very humble and good guy. Keep up the great work! God bless
one of the best most instructive videos on swimbaits. love it.
Awesome. No nonsense and straight to the point.
Every time I need to know what setup I need I always come to your channel
Absolutely loving all the "combo" tutorials!!!!

Man, I'm in the store realizing now how much there is to this. Thanks
Love this guy. Very well spoken and great knowledge. Thanks for your time. 👍👍👍
Right as I was trying to find something to watch!!! My Bro comes in clutch
Brian is the king of stuff! Soooo much gear this man has lol
No music just clear on how to catch fish that's way it should be great job thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the info! Use a lot of swimbaits but always nice getting someone else's tips and tricks.
Thank you for the information. Great presentation and guidance. Very much appreciated
Let’s get this man to 100k 🔥
Done.
That was extremely helpful, and yeah, I'm a bit intimidated by swim baits. Better now! Thanks!
Very informative. I had no idea there were so many strategies to catching fish. Good job with this video. You are very easy to listen to. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
i want to fish with u
New to fishing. This was some great advice and easy to understand.
Can't get enough of your videos man, perfectly explained and extremely informative. Keep'em comin!
Dude great videos simple explanations no fancy words and not Bullsh*t and super detailed..Great Job
Thank you so much! Learned so much in this 13 minute video! Much appreciated!
Excellent video. Very easy to follow. Thanks for taking the time 😁
your vid was the most straight forward thanks man!
I like your informational videos. Teaching others how to become better anglers is cool.
Your presentations are great! Thank you for the great information!
My very first 2 Bass were caught using a swim bait. I haven't used them since but I think it's time to start using them again.
Appreciate seeing you get that Z Man onto that spiral bait holder. I had given up on that until I saw how you stretch the bait out and rotate it forcefully onto the bait holder. I enjoyed your presentation.
Thank you for the great videos
Caught a bass on a swim bait for the first time today casted r along the bank and he crushed it was nice chunky 3 pounder was pretty dope
One of the coolest dudes to watch I’m from Indiana and weather sucks so I watch a lot of your videos
The Swim Bait and The Grub are my two favorite plastic's.
I'd have to add soft plastic jerk baits to that list like the Z-man's jerk shadz. I probably catch more fish on those than any other type of soft plastic.
Love it! Gonna watch this about 10 times during quarantine! Thanks!
B-Lat is definitely my favorite fishing youtuber. Thanks for all the good content man. So happy I found your channel
I appreciate how you simplify things. Thanks Bro!
Great teaching video B-Lat. Thanks for the tips.
You’re welcome
Great video. I’m a big user of the 3 inch swim baits when I wade for smallies in streams. 1/8-3-8 ounce depending on current and all natural colors.
Thanks for the breakdown! Good stuff!
Love the content buddy! Fellow fisherman Boiling Springs, SC

What’s up from northeast Louisiana thanks for video !!!!
I love z-man swimbaits
I just found this cat. He is awesome! Love his content!
Any teacher that says the word “simple” this many times HAS to be good. ‘Scribed
Why don’t you like that graphite (?) Spider Wire, why the clear stuff? Does it really scare fish from the catch?
Great video, loved your knowledge. Thanks.
Love your work mate and subscribed 👍🏼👍🏼
Definitely about to increase my swim bait arsenal,thanks for the info,bro..tight lines

Did u fish it fast brother ?
What size jighead you guys recommend for the 3 " inch swimbait for crappie I just bought the keitech and I love them.
Also, great video BLat. I have started using Z-man Baits almost exclusively now so getting to know threse baits a little more helps alot! Good looking out man, much appreciated.

Good info! Now if we just had a tackle box plastic that wouldn't make the ElazTech material melt...
Leave them in the package they come in and put the packages in a bait binder or big Tupperware container. Thats what I do and I never have any issues even on days when its close to 100° F
could you make a video on Carolina rigs and jigs? love the videos Brian
I was thinking about a Carolina rig video!!!!
@@BrianLatimerFishing sounds good will be looking forward to it, im ready to see some tournaments.
