I live on a lake. Your videos have made me obsessed with bass fishing. Your definately a great fisherman and teacher.
That's awesome man it's a great sport!
Your tips have become some of my favorite and most useful of all that I watch. Your attention to detail and the way u relay it to us is KILLER my friend. Literally learn so much from a 12 min video. Nice!✌🏻👊🏻🤘🏻
bro that's awesome to hear! glad you took away so much from the vid! stay tuned got a few more like this coming in the next few weeks.
Mikey, I’m retired and watch a lot of you-tube fishing videos by pros and local big sticks. I have been watching you for several years now and you are the very best! I’m not just blowing smoke…my only problem is that I live in NORTHERN California and except for the Delta and Clearlake, our deep clear reservoirs dominate. I wish you take a trip out here and stay awhile. Fish Lake Berryessa, New Melones, Don Pedro, Commanche, McClure, Lake Sonoma, Lake Tulloch, Bullards Bar, ….so many good lakes. …. Think about it please.
I bank fish* New Melones. (* ”Bank cast” would be more accurate. I’d have to catch fish to call it fishing.) I wish there were some TH-cam channels focused on our highland lakes. The conditions are radically different.
Love those heads mikey , I used them this year in March with 3.8 Keitechs in upper gville below Nickajack dam and caught several spots over 3 and 2 smallies over 5 . Those hooks are sticky !!!! You need to head up towards the dam in March ! Some big smallmouth 👍🏻
I am a true believe in the Keitech but I haven't been getting bit great with it so switched to a Spark Shad and am on an absolute monster bite, once the water drops below 50 I think I'll be switching back. Thanks for the tips and you are right it's just a fun way to consistently put fish in the boat!
Great video Brother. lotta colder, rainy and blustery up here in Northern Kentucky. Videos like this definitely get me through our short winter season. I will definitely start the spring so much more informed
I want to try one of the finesse under spin jig heads I typically fish for walleye pike and musky in my river but you can’t beat a jig and swim bait for the walleye and the under spin should attract strikes the river is pretty murky
I'm a big fan of that Okashira screw head. Everything from crappie to bass, even walleye like them. Good stuff. I have a couple A-rigs, rigged up with Okashira's as well. It seems to set them apart on days when they're turned on to A-rigs, those O.S.H. seem to give you even more drawing power!
Been a big fan of the kietechs but that said I picked up some of the largo Shads back few months ago in the 3” size. Dude I love um. They have a tendon on the tail end you can snip off with your scissors if you want a harder kicking action. Give them a try Mikey
that sounds awesome!
Yup they are awesome really durable too!
mike
one trick is to run a bobber stop down the middle of the shank of any swim bait hook. it really helps provide additional hold of keitechs
That Willowvibe is cool, I have fished it some and one did come apart. Good idea to JB Weld them. I might have noticed a little MonsterBass signage in the background!!! All good, just had to jack with you.
Mikey IMHO you are missing the boat if you don't try the "Pro Blue Red Pearl and Electric Shad" colors of the Keitech! Thank You! for all that you do for ALL OF US!
Great information Mikey. Trying this weekend in my favorite Lake Placid lake! Tight lines..
The Okashira spin head is my go to! I’ve caught some giants
Mikey! Totally agree. Been slamming them on an underspin and 3.3 and 3.8. You should check out Berkeley’s underspin with fusion 19 hooks. it may be the best underspin I’ve ever used; over the owner which used to be my favorite. thanks for the information as always. Merry Christmas bro
My absolute favorite bite is the Keitech bite! Year-round it crushes and it shines in Winter for sure.
you can't beat that drag scream!
The Gamakatsu underspin head mini is a great underspin for 2.8-3.5inch swimbaits, it has a screw lock and also cheaper than 95% of underspins
I do not the the house without a kitech swim bait on, either by itself or with under spin. Awesome bait. Thanks for the info.
We're in lock step..love that 2.8 Kietech on a okashira. Tight lines my friend 🤟
I recently found some swimbaits that are very similar to Keitech swimbaits at my local Ollie's. They're from Eco Tungsten and they're called Swing Shad. I gotta say, for less than half the price of a Keitech, these things are really good! Maybe not quite as soft, but still very good. They catch fish! So I looked those things up and found that they have a really good rating on Tackle Warehouse.
been using BFS on hellfire ball head love it so much..Great video
I agree pal,I've been catching good ones with it!!🎣🎣
I recommend anyone to stay away from the Bass Pro Shops underspin. Blade is way to close to the body, it hits the trailer, and inhibits the action of the whole presentation, during the whole retrieve.
I use the Cumberland pro apex underspin with the strike king rage swimmer. I’ve tried the bass pro plus the Keitech swim baits. It’s a comfort thing for me, Cumberland with Rage swimmer just crushes fish on my lakes.
@@Bottomfeederonfire Hey thats what its all about! Comfortability with our confidence baits, depending on the waterbody. Ill check out those underspins! 🤙🤙
2 weeks ago I had a bass pro employee take one of those BP underspins out of my hand and put it back on the rack 🤣 he said the same thing.
I luv me some 3.3 Kitech pro blue red pearl starting in the fall thru the winter. Occasionally light Hitch in super clear water….
if you like the light hitch in clear water, pick up some "super shad" color and thank me later
Thanks Mikey . Little changes rock.
Man really love swim baits this is good stuff like the shows
Ya I smash em with keitech and bluegill flash is another good color
Thanks
If you want to get a better plastic to the back of the head fit, buy some brass tubing to match the rear head ark dia., and file it sharp around the circumference, then punch down/trim into the more convex plastic head, perfect lead head to plastic fit. You'll need one sharpened brass tube for each size jig head.
Great video Mikey always giving us juicy tips. Thanks we appreciate you
👊
You are the coolest Tuber. Puzzeling because you drive boat in excess of 100k and use a $79. spinning reel? my average rod combo is over $1,000. some close to $1,500. to me the experience of casting and reeling high end equipment is as fun as actually catching a fish. Different strokes for different folks. thanks for the great swimbait lessons. my number 1 bait year round is a custom made underspin for 2.8 keitechs. been using for many many years. unfortunately, the gig is up companies now actually make them. you gave up the juice
wish my boat was worth that much! that's the thing, i picked kind of a budget boat and i do the same with fishing reels when possible. would love to have super high end gear but life's about trade offs right. what setup do you have that averages over 1500? tough to beat that keitech on an underspin or a finesse ball head - catches them anywhere and everywhere!
Pearl white works the best in SC
Thanks for giving us the juice Mikey!!!
Makes sense. A flash mob Jr sure seems to work in winter with adding flash so why not try an under spin.
Great video dude!!! Love my swimbaits!!!
Excellent info. Thanks.
Thanks for the tips.
We'll see some more details some more lures
Battle baits makes some great swimbait heads and spy baits
Great vid! Thanks Mikey
hey Mikey! well, I may have to try that Scottsboro finesse understand. It may be cheaper than the Cool baits I typically use. Merry Christmas!
Gamakatsu makes a underspin head mini that's cheaper probably check that out too
@@SimonC82686 that cool baits is pretty cool too but the price is a bit high no doubt.
@@SimonC82686 Funny you say that, i actually have 2 packs on back order from TW from my black friday shopping spree. haha
Great video 🎣🎣 Thank you
What brand combos do you recommend on a budget
If your bending hooks and opening up eyes you are pulling on the fish to hard. Patience is the key to landing anything finesse fishing.
That hoodie though, dope ! 🤘🤘
yeah i love that thing!
Anyone out there with a production wire bender, that turned a jig head into a single bladed spinner bait knows how deadly a rig it can be.
I have to have sexy shad rigged up all the time its definitely a confidence thing aswell as all the bait fish colors you mentioned
Thanks for sharing
thanks for watching Chris!
Put a little dab of super glue on the twist lock before you puts it up and it will last a little bit longer.
Happy Holidays Sir
To u as well
Like to make my own when I can. Anybody have experience with Do-It Herring Head Jig Molds?
How do you rig that screw lock on a ball jig? I've only ever used screw locks on keel weighted EWGs. I'm such an amateur, lol.
This video is pretty good about showing you how to fish it at Midway through I show you how to rig it up th-cam.com/video/ZNT4tkQzCSg/w-d-xo.html
@@mikeybalzz thanks man!
Good Stuff!
Gambler meano is best underspin
If you're not throwing a Keitech, you're not fishing correctly 🤣🤑🤙
Nailed it
Tenn shad is that Lanier 🧃
Dude, interesting presentation. 60 million anglers out there, 120 million opinionated opinions and here's me with my old Ambassadeur 5000 and an ugly stik medium heavy rod recounting the countless numbers of fish suckered topside with a #1 hook and juicy ol' worm. But hey, dude, I still enjoy another's opinion of how's best to fish a new customized whatcha macall it.
appreciate you watching man!
how do you put the bait on?
on which one?
A kietech on a drop shot will hammer them as well
that is the sneak presentation there!
I actually prefer the 3.8 size. Just seem to get better quality but I’ll downsize if I’m struggling to get bites.
what jighead you like with the 3.8 ?
@@castandchill I actually prefer the big bite d-jig. I really haven’t used anything else to be honest so that’s all I’ve ever used and it seems to work great. But I also have luck with the Berkley fusion one. I personally think a lot of the time having a screw lock or a keeper with kietchs just makes you loose more because they are so soft it just tears all the time.
"Minners"? Sount like you done learnt you some Alabammer talkin'! Hey, it's ahh-ight; GOD talks like we do!
😂
💪-👍👍
I'm going to save myself some money and not watch this one lol
🤣
Bruh!! Do you pendulum that scottsboro through the water column back to the boat?? At 12AMish less than an hour ago i bought 20 of those phantom finesse heads from scottsboros website. Can’t wait to give them a whirl.
Came over and watched this AFTER i had already ordered some 1/4oz tungsten ball heads.. but I got the weedless do you prefer one over the other ??
Personally I like the ones with the open hook but I'm using them sort of as a finesse presentation on lighter tackle and not around much cover except wood so I hang quite a few but I miss a lot less fish
Up here in Maryland Mikey are use the blue gill flash are use the sexy shed and the electric shed and once in a while, the red and blue pearl and all white and be honest with you I’ve been buying contacts since they first came out when they were in the bags not in the nice hard plastic that keeps it tails all nice and you’re right I use two and three Ott hooks and my biggest thing has always been using them with a road runner, underbelly spin and I smash them if you want to go to my Instagram page leave me a thing so you can follow me a request and I’ll send you videos of doing a challenge for myself not worried about making any money or being sponsored. I love catching fish and the biggest thing that got me into fission. What is the way that these lures maneuver through the water and that they were not real and Bass was chasing and committing and there’s nothing like a keitech on a trailer specially, a swim jig I just wish I could afford better technology. I have HDS seven that I had for the past 56 years and I think I might be due for a new screen. I have a structural scan box, and supposedly I can hook another monitor into it. I have a big 1 foot transducer plate, a hockey puck type sonar for my front motor and some type a little skipper.
