TacticalBassin is hands down THEE best bass fishing channel on youtube period! Matt, Tim, keep it up guys! I think I speak for all of your followers in saying that your channel puts all others to shame. 🎣
Tim’s concept of a finesse approach to a lipless is amazing! No way in hell would I have thought of that, it makes so much sense to mimick baitfish feeding on the bottom with the profile of a lipless crank. I love these types of videos
I want to know absolutely everything you guys can teach me, yall are my idols and I want to learn everything you can teach me. Please make more videos like this, and you can even make them more detailed if you can . Watching y'alls videos has changed my life and I'll watch every video yall make for as long as yall make them !!!!!!!!
Down the rabbit hole we go!! I could listen to an hour long video about this topic. Would love to hear some more. There were a few baits I would have like to hear mentioned, your guys thoughts
This is literally the best informational bass fishing channel on TH-cam. No argument. I have learned more from this channel than I have talking with guides and pros. Keep it up!
Fishing In The City lol me too bro I've lost more baits than I care to admit. Trees, rocks, other anglers, my boat and myself I hook just about everything but fish most of the time. If I had the money I've spent and lost on lures I could have retired in the 90's lol
Fishing is like gambling. You went straight to the $20 slots, looking for the big jackpot. $1 slots would have been 20x the casts. (and so on, etc.) So stay with the minimum bet that you are comfortable with losing, for the amount of fishing time that it offers. But know this.......The house always wins. So we all pay to fish........ Unless, we can find one of those sugar momma's.
I can't thank you guys enough for making these types of videos! They have helped me so much I absolutely trust everything you guys say. I finally bit the bullet and got an s waver and had an 80 fish day. Best bass fishing channel on TH-cam by far!
I love this stuff, You got to break it down. I liked how Matt keyed in on that it was important to be more specific on how Tim was fishing it in more of a jig style as opposed to burning the bait. Great stuff. The picture that is my thumbnail was a fall bass caught doing just that.
Guys: I feel your pain. I've walked out of tackleshops totally brain-fried looking for my lipless crankbait answers. It is such a massive topic, and I don't envy you guys trying to handle it, but I sure do appreciate it. You listed some great baits, and I figured out how good that cotton cordell spot is when I caught a nice smallmouth while worming it in a muddy river. Underrated bait. Great video.
Funny that you said at the end: "I hope we didn't just bury you completely with crazy information"....it had the opposite effect for me! Love the video and information was spot-on! I love lipless cranks, but some days I get nothing on my trusty color and rattle sound...so now I'm motivated to experiment with other brands, sounds, sizes, and techniques. That's for what you guys do!
You guys are the real deal! I have spent hours on your videos. You guys have shared some SERIOUS info. I really appreciate your teachers' hearts. If I want to give you guys some support is it best for me to follow your links? Thanks again. With your teaching I have started to stick some pigs up here in Oregon!
Been fishing lipless goodness since late 70’s and ya the spot has been my most consistent producer. When I want a loud bait I go to the Rat L Trap. Been fishing that bait since early 80’s. But lipless is a bait I have the most of. I’ve fished all brands and price ranges. You are so right. How far down that rabbit hole do you wanna go. It’s my go to confidence bait for sure. Great job guys
Let me say; I watch a LOT of bass fishing videos. I’m in my 2nd year of fishing, and I’m consuming a lot of content because I’m learning so much. I’m also fishing quite a lot and applying your tactics. I think you guys are great! Keep it up. I spend so much time on your videos and I’m a subscriber for about a year now. This is my first comment. So think of how many people you are helping. For everyone like me who comments, you’re helping hundreds more who don’t.
The big bass seminar helped me catch my PB on a lipless. It got me to use a reel/jig cadence instead of just a straight retrieve I cant wait for the water to cool down and the lipless bite to turn on!
I love these type of VLOGS!! You guys are so awesome I mean for people that dont have allot of money can go and buy the ones that are cheap and the you got the people that are a little well off can buy the more expensive baits. I LEARN more on this channel then I do on any other channel in TH-cam.. SO myself just keep what you are doing!!!!!YOU GUYS ARE GREAT and Thank YOU!!!!
I personally love the in depth stuff cuz the easy stuff I can learn on TV or from other TH-camrs. What makes you guys awesome is you give us info that no one else does.
I love these kinds of videos from you. You both end up costing me a ton of money, but from the rods and reels to the braid and flouro, to the lures and techniques, you've helped me fine tune my game. I'm a bass fisherman from NJ...a long way from Clear Lake, but your instructional videos hit my sweet spot every time. I'm better at what I love to do thanks to both of you. Thanks and please keep it up. TacticalBassin is my go-to channel for all things fishing.
Episode Series idea: short bank fishing tip breakdown for all of these in-depth presentations. It's a different thing throwing a lipless from a boat on a lake versus on the bank of a pond. I think a short series of bank specific tips on categories like these could be well-received. Thanks for all the content! 1. Lipless 2. Crankbaits 3. Swimbaits 4. Chatterbait 5. Soft Plastics 6. Topwater
Absolutely love this video. I am very analytical about my fishing as well and this really helps me. Btw I used the techniques you gave on the lipless last year and refined my own. I caught tons of fish on chickamauga over six lbs and several trophy fish over 8 including my new PB 10.42. this stuff works.
Great video guys, feel free to keep talking and talking and talking. I don't know about everyone else but an hour long video I would watch lol.. we all spend a ton on tackle anyway so at least you guys narrow it down for us. You guys are like the scientists doing all the testing at your clear Lake Laboratory. Then instead of keeping all the results for yourself or selling them. ... you're sharing it to all of us. Thank you guys. Great video as always
Last week , caught my largest of the year so far , a six lber , hopping a 3/4 ounce Red Eye Shad in 24 foot of water . Two years ago my biggest came the same way . I love hopping those big Red Eyes .
Last May I caught my personal best Largemouth and Smallmouth bass on lipless crankbaits. The Largemouth I used the Rapala Rippin Rap 05 Bluegill pattern. Then I tied on the Lucky Craft LV500 Golden shiner lipless and caught my PB Smallmouth bass. Both on a ST Croix Legend Glass M/M. Both felt like a snag at first the I knew I got bit. Great video as always guys...THANKS!
I love your instructional videos, I'm 16 and have a kayak with my dad, this means that I get a lot of chances to go out on the water, I don't know many good brands for baits and since I don't have a job I'm limited on what I can buy. These videos help me with what to buy and if I really need it.
I have learned so much from you two. Just want to say thank you, it’s been a stressful year and this hobby with a lot of your knowledge has helped me get through some tough things. Again, thank you guys!
Lipless such a versatile fish bait. Love throwing them for pike, walleye at night, bass all the time. Always looking at them at the store, and always forget hooks. Lol. River fishing banging the cheap ones of rocks for small mouth. Wish i tried on a leader as a kid. Its murder trying to break straight braid when burrowed into the rocks. First videos I watch when waking up are yours when posted. Great job.
When I entered the bass fishing world in Montana, I began with Strike King's KVD red eye shad assortment for every reason you spoke of. The variations on a theme and upgrading is my area of confusion. I will see this one again.
I’ve always loved the in depth vids ... love hearing viewpoints from experienced people who fish nearly everyday. No complaints here... and lipless is just an all around money topic and bait!
Lures for bass fishin are even more diversified that lures for trouts. When I began my pursuit of smallmouth on the Musselshell River in 2009, I ordered $750 in gear from Bass Pro. The red eye shad group was probably the first order. You present good cases for all of these price points. Amusingly, probably my best producer on the river has been the Cotton/Cordell all silver red eye shad. And, for all the reasons you mentioned on camera. I did the hooks and rings on all of them too. Not Cheap, but one big smallie erases all thoughts of expense. It did for me, at least. I really don't know how much money I've put into tackle. A lot. Thanks for the rod/reel data. I'm using a 7' UglyStik I converted into a 6'10' mMF action Microwave guide train. Spinning gear, its Montana.
Thank you for this video it got me into lipless cranks for my first time an now I own well over 100 an I’ve caught the biggest fish of my life literally over 50bass between 5 an 10lb in the last 6months. Thank you.
I really like these videos. My favorite is something like this that I've had success on and now hearing you guys confirm that in addition to new things/baits/colors I might not have otherwise tried. Thank you guys for being so willing to teach and to make us all better at getting on bass!
Great, very informative video.. this is what sets you guys apart from all the other youtubers.. I think this is the second or third time I’ve watched this video, and I’ll prob watch it a few more times in the next few months.. great work guys!!
If you guys did 10 in depth videos on lipless I would watch every one. I live in Illinois and I would say 5lber is pretty hard to come by, this year I’ve caught 10x as many of them then any other year and I know it’s because of what I learned from your guys videos. Thanks guys so much
Awesome video!!!!!!!! Love throwing the lipless and this video takes it up 10 levels! I'm very excited to see more fish on lipless and this video for sure just helped me get better!!! thanks guys!!!!!
I always look forward to these videos. It's nice to be able to get helpful information about bass fishing and specific lures and knowing it's good information and not just a sales pitch. 👍🏻
ok. IDEA! offer schools based on seasons. class and water application. you guys have so much insight. im trying to put it together but hard because video content bounces. a "1 2 3" class i would pay for.. just a thought:)
Love this video!!!! I really like the lipless crank and how you break it down is awesome! More videos like this, explaining all baits. You guys rock!!!!!!
Today I will be heading to a shallow pond at a Walmart. somehow someone start putting bass in a small wading pool which is about 100 yd long I was told 5years. I went there last winter it was very cold ,and the other fishing dead for the winter and I decided to take a chance at first cast a Giant 3 lb bass jumped up and went for my a white curly tail grub that I fish at night, now I will try lipless crankbaiting is what I decided to try it's a new. year your information was fantastic detailed and all the information I could ask for it is true I am that guy that goes down the rabbit hole each fishing trip is a bike and hike trip I carry four rods five reels and over 300 lures good information to know good job guys
One time where I my line broke on a previous cast so I tied on a lipless and I was dragging it slowly on the bottom trying to get my lure back and in the end I got my lure back and caught about 4-5 bass while doing it
great video guys I throw LV 300 here in N.C you guys are the best at helping my fishing improve. I have been watching your videos before every tournament I am now cashing more checks!!!! keep it up you are my secret weapons LOL thanks Harry tar heel bassing NC
Matt and Tim you guys need to try the Berkley Warpig, if you haven't already they are great lipless cranks. They come with great hooks on them you don't need to change them out.
I know you keep saying LV500 but when I saw the real perch paint job that River2Sea has on their Ruckus lipless crankbait I had to have it ! it's by far the best perch paint job I have ever seen, and every lake and pond I fish has yellow perch, can't wait til the ice is gone.
Lovin the in depth videos. I always want to know as much as possible about a certain technique. I will be watching this one many times. Between this and swimbaits I'm gonna be living in a van down by the river. 👌
Its videos like this this one why I love your channel it really helps me not waste hard earned money on fifty baits to find 4 or 5 that works keep it up guys great video
Great video. I pick apart everything you guys say and reasurch everything fit it into my budget and wack fish. I short cycle because of your videos and I don't have to buy thousands of dollars worth of equipment for nothing. Keep it coming!
Great video guys. I watch your videos every day and enjoy them a lot but if I could make a suggestion, I’d like to see some videos about how you guys locate fish under different conditions and seasons because I watch a lot of technical stuff on gear and baits but have a hard time locating fish.
Great video I've learned so much from you guys I spent 2 years buying everything thing that I thought would work . Stumbled upon your videos and boy was I wrong. Red eye shad has produced very well for me here in Wisconsin. Thank you to you both.
Love the videos. I'm east coast so its nice to as some baits on here that I don't see on the shelf yet. Thanks for the hard work it takes for these videos.
OMG!! Stop!! Now the lipless Cordell is going to be out of the bin box and on the rack for $12.99 lmao... I'm the anal retentive guy you talked about in the beginning of the video, I wish I was the nine year old but I am 7x that age. I have plenty of Lucky Craft and Strike Kings and am now proud to say I have plenty of Carl 'Cotton' Cordell's too for anybody that cares thanks to this TB Vid lmao... Most of them don't have any paint left. 1970's the Big 'O' and the Hot Spot, bought them from Woolworth and Montgomery Wards. When they put Bill Dance's name on a Cordell the price quadrupled! Definitely a must to change out split rings and hooks on all crankbaits. Manufacturers have a lot of competition when it comes to crankbaits. The only way to save production costs really, is to cut back on split rings and hook expenses. The mass market is catching Dinks to three or four pounders. When you catch a fish that pulls your ass from the front of the boat to the back in 0.5 seconds and you come up with a lipless that has a broken off hook from the tail treble and the belly treble and split ring are missing, you will definitely become a hook and split ring specialist. I recommend split rings from the saltwater section wherever you purchase them from in 20-35#. $3 for 100 rings. Can't help with cost-savings on hooks. I buy pretty expensive hooks because they come from pretty expensive alloy but they're worth every penny. Sharp hooks are very forgiving for just about every mistake I make...
BNC Reptiles absolutely. Before the turn of the century there was a crisis in the steel industry quality that eventually made its way all the way down to fishing hooks. Commercial and Recreational Anglers alike we're noticing high rates of hook bend outs and break offs. Hudelson was one of the first companies to start using quality control and specialized hook manufacturers... What good is a $40 8" swimbait with hooks that bend out and break off lol. Tactical Bassin has a swimbait rigging video where Matt mentions bend outs and break offs on larger swimbaits. Good luck out there man :-)
lukkyluciano... Lucky Luciano!!! LOL Carl Richey 'Cotton' Cordell Jr was known for taking gangsters such as Frank Costello and Owney Madden fishing back in the 1940s. Hot Springs Ark. was considered neutral territory between rival gangs when fishing.
You said "dirt cheap" I've caught my PB on an ozark trail shallow crank. Also tried the cheap version of the whopper plopper by ozark trail. Cheap works in terms of baits. Time and time again.
love it we get more info at once some I can use some others can use. its a great video every now and then to just talk about one bait category as a whole and what you found works and doesn't for us to take from there. thanks
Love your videos like this TB, you really hit the nail on the head with silent lipless crankbaits. I've caught my PB of 6lb 12oz Smallie with a Strike King silent lipless crankbait in a 1/2oz Chartreuse baitfish colour during the spring transition when everyone was using a rattletrap before the spawn while using a Med. Moderate action Kistler crankbait rod that has a soft tip so that no hooks will be pulled out while fighting the fish and the reel was a Lew's American hero spooled with 10lb-12lb Trilene Sensation flouro
I can watch in depth, technical videos all day, esp when they're backed by credible experience! Question: if you can only hang one single hook on a lipless, would you place it in the belly or the tail?
I would go belly bc alot of fish swipe at the head of actual bait fish and stun them fish also tend to eat bait head first your hookups will be better and you'll be less likely to lose fish
I love this video. It's great insite into a tequnice that I love to fish. Keep up this type of content. If I can request a topic for a video in the future. Is a chatterbait video. I now you guys have done a spinnerbait and swim jig. But I haven't seen a chatterbait.
Lets go down another tunnel in that rabbit hole... The Evergreen that sits nose down while on bottom is a deadly bed fish bait. They destroy magic gill and I feel I have a better hook up ratio that the Matt lures blue gill... I'm a lipless junkie in the spring and fall. I 100% agree with everything you said. I would recommend the Cordel spot for 1-3 feet of water, the normal redeye for 2-5 feet, 2tap redeye for 5-7 and the LV500 for anything over 7.
TacticalBassin is hands down THEE best bass fishing channel on youtube period! Matt, Tim, keep it up guys! I think I speak for all of your followers in saying that your channel puts all others to shame. 🎣
I'm so surprised you guys don't have 500.000 subs .This is the most information about fishing on the web. Thanks for what you do.
Now they do!!
Tim’s concept of a finesse approach to a lipless is amazing! No way in hell would I have thought of that, it makes so much sense to mimick baitfish feeding on the bottom with the profile of a lipless crank. I love these types of videos
I want to know absolutely everything you guys can teach me, yall are my idols and I want to learn everything you can teach me. Please make more videos like this, and you can even make them more detailed if you can . Watching y'alls videos has changed my life and I'll watch every video yall make for as long as yall make them !!!!!!!!
2-tap by far my favorite lipless. Have had many epic days with that bait!!
Down the rabbit hole we go!! I could listen to an hour long video about this topic. Would love to hear some more. There were a few baits I would have like to hear mentioned, your guys thoughts
This is literally the best informational bass fishing channel on TH-cam. No argument. I have learned more from this channel than I have talking with guides and pros. Keep it up!
What about when u make ur first cast let it sink to the bottom and it gets stuck.....im pretty good at that....
Fishing In The City lol me too bro I've lost more baits than I care to admit. Trees, rocks, other anglers, my boat and myself I hook just about everything but fish most of the time. If I had the money I've spent and lost on lures I could have retired in the 90's lol
Fishing In The City yup picked up a lv 500 first cast got hung up on timber in 27 feet of water
BNC Reptiles lol...year I'm working on it now...got to many to ever use already
That's my favorite technique. I bank fish in the susquehanna river in pa and it's the easiest place to loose $60 worth of tackle in like 30mins.
Fishing is like gambling. You went straight to the $20 slots, looking for the big jackpot. $1 slots would have been 20x the casts. (and so on, etc.)
So stay with the minimum bet that you are comfortable with losing, for the amount of fishing time that it offers. But know this.......The house always wins. So we all pay to fish........
Unless, we can find one of those sugar momma's.
Love these Lipless videos. Opened my eyes to a whole new way of fishing them. THANK YOU.
Can ya'll get under water footage of jigging lipless cranks. Thatd be sweet to see
Yes!
Yes!
yes!
Yes!
Yes!
I can't thank you guys enough for making these types of videos! They have helped me so much I absolutely trust everything you guys say. I finally bit the bullet and got an s waver and had an 80 fish day. Best bass fishing channel on TH-cam by far!

Wow,62 yrs and never tried finesse fishing a lipless,.You guys compliment each other so well.🔥

You guys are the best...good knowledge, good advice, and honesty...thanks.

This video really opened my eyes on how wide the spectrum of lipless fishing is, great tips!
I would love to see videos like this for every type of bait
Love this kind of vidoe, it realy goes out to everyone On or Around the water filled with all the Bass we love so much.. Thanks guys..

I love fishing lipless. I watch these videos and my mind starts running with ideas for them. I hope you guys never stop what you do.
You can never get too in depth. GREAT Video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I think this is one of your best videos to date, I love this type of information as I think everybody should. Great job guys.
Does adding a red bead on the line in front of the lure help with catching fish? Best bass channel on TH-cam.
Great, very informative video.. this is what sets you guys apart from all the other youtubers.. I think this is the second or third time I’ve watched this video, and I’ll prob watch it a few more times in the next few months.. great work guys!!

Hey guys love the in-depth videos. Keep them coming!
Truly answered all of my questions about my favorite lure! Thanks god for you guys!!!
I think these videos are great guys! Helps to really hear you break it down from your perspective. Very helpful. 🇺🇸
Today I will be heading to a shallow pond at a Walmart. somehow someone start putting bass in a small wading pool which is about 100 yd long I was told 5years. I went there last winter it was very cold ,and the other fishing dead for the winter and I decided to take a chance at first cast a Giant 3 lb bass jumped up and went for my a white curly tail grub that I fish at night, now I will try lipless crankbaiting is what I decided to try it's a new. year your information was fantastic detailed and all the information I could ask for it is true I am that guy that goes down the rabbit hole each fishing trip is a bike and hike trip I carry four rods five reels and over 300 lures good information to know good job guys
One time where I my line broke on a previous cast so I tied on a lipless and I was dragging it slowly on the bottom trying to get my lure back and in the end I got my lure back and caught about 4-5 bass while doing it
great video guys I throw LV 300 here in N.C you guys are the best at helping my fishing improve. I have been watching your videos before every tournament I am now cashing more checks!!!! keep it up you are my secret weapons LOL thanks Harry tar heel bassing NC
I caught a 6lb bass and a 40 inch musky on the same bait, the same day. Great bait to use!
Matt and Tim you guys need to try the Berkley Warpig, if you haven't already they are great lipless cranks. They come with great hooks on them you don't need to change them out.
I know you keep saying LV500 but when I saw the real perch paint job that River2Sea has on their Ruckus lipless crankbait I had to have it ! it's by far the best perch paint job I have ever seen, and every lake and pond I fish has yellow perch, can't wait til the ice is gone.
Lovin the in depth videos. I always want to know as much as possible about a certain technique. I will be watching this one many times. Between this and swimbaits I'm gonna be living in a van down by the river. 👌
Its videos like this this one why I love your channel it really helps me not waste hard earned money on fifty baits to find 4 or 5 that works keep it up guys great video
Great video. I pick apart everything you guys say and reasurch everything fit it into my budget and wack fish. I short cycle because of your videos and I don't have to buy thousands of dollars worth of equipment for nothing. Keep it coming!
Great video guys. I watch your videos every day and enjoy them a lot but if I could make a suggestion, I’d like to see some videos about how you guys locate fish under different conditions and seasons because I watch a lot of technical stuff on gear and baits but have a hard time locating fish.
Great video I've learned so much from you guys I spent 2 years buying everything thing that I thought would work . Stumbled upon your videos and boy was I wrong. Red eye shad has produced very well for me here in Wisconsin. Thank you to you both.
Thank you for always taking the time to put the links to the gear you speak about. It helps a lot. -Cole
Nice video....enjoy the informal format. Keep them coming.
Great video! You guys have a way of explaining things in a way that makes them easy to grasp.
Please don't change a thing!
Keep doing videos like these please. Very very good stuff.
Great info guys! I’m just getting into lipless cranks and this info was very helpful! Thank you for taking the time to do these videos.
Best bass channel I’ve seen on TH-cam. Love these bait specific vids
Very informative so far on the lipless I haven’t had any good luck but will keep trying and it is good to get in detail keep up good work guys.
absolutely great video, i watch every video and these in depth 20+ min ones are where its at. keep them coming
Love the videos. I'm east coast so its nice to as some baits on here that I don't see on the shelf yet. Thanks for the hard work it takes for these videos.
Hands down best tip videos out there.
Love these videos! Trying to get more confidence in hard Baits like lipless cranks. Keep up the good work guys!
OMG!! Stop!! Now the lipless Cordell is going to be out of the bin box and on the rack for $12.99 lmao... I'm the anal retentive guy you talked about in the beginning of the video, I wish I was the nine year old but I am 7x that age.
I have plenty of Lucky Craft and Strike Kings and am now proud to say I have plenty of Carl 'Cotton' Cordell's too for anybody that cares thanks to this TB Vid lmao... Most of them don't have any paint left. 1970's the Big 'O' and the Hot Spot, bought them from Woolworth and Montgomery Wards. When they put Bill Dance's name on a Cordell the price quadrupled!
Definitely a must to change out split rings and hooks on all crankbaits. Manufacturers have a lot of competition when it comes to crankbaits. The only way to save production costs really, is to cut back on split rings and hook expenses. The mass market is catching Dinks to three or four pounders.
When you catch a fish that pulls your ass from the front of the boat to the back in 0.5 seconds and you come up with a lipless that has a broken off hook from the tail treble and the belly treble and split ring are missing, you will definitely become a hook and split ring specialist.
I recommend split rings from the saltwater section wherever you purchase them from in 20-35#. $3 for 100 rings. Can't help with cost-savings on hooks. I buy pretty expensive hooks because they come from pretty expensive alloy but they're worth every penny. Sharp hooks are very forgiving for just about every mistake I make...
Mr. FatBasstard you're absolutely right. I am obsessive about hooks and such. I have never fished a swimbait with stock hooks.
BNC Reptiles absolutely. Before the turn of the century there was a crisis in the steel industry quality that eventually made its way all the way down to fishing hooks. Commercial and Recreational Anglers alike we're noticing high rates of hook bend outs and break offs. Hudelson was one of the first companies to start using quality control and specialized hook manufacturers... What good is a $40 8" swimbait with hooks that bend out and break off lol. Tactical Bassin has a swimbait rigging video where Matt mentions bend outs and break offs on larger swimbaits. Good luck out there man :-)
Mr. FatBasstard hey you too brother thanks for the info.
My #1 fishing partner's "confidence lure" is a Cotton Cordell crankbait
lukkyluciano... Lucky Luciano!!! LOL Carl Richey 'Cotton' Cordell Jr was known for taking gangsters such as Frank Costello and Owney Madden fishing back in the 1940s. Hot Springs Ark. was considered neutral territory between rival gangs when fishing.
Need more in depth videos like this, some HARDCORE detailed vids
This video is now in my top 5 from you fellas. Awesome! Great info for a guy in central GA!
You said "dirt cheap" I've caught my PB on an ozark trail shallow crank. Also tried the cheap version of the whopper plopper by ozark trail. Cheap works in terms of baits. Time and time again.
You guys are an awesome duo. Keep it up.
love it we get more info at once some I can use some others can use. its a great video every now and then to just talk about one bait category as a whole and what you found works and doesn't for us to take from there. thanks
Thank you Tim and matt.this is one area I struggle in will take your knowledge to the lake in the future.
Thanks guys. Your content is absolutely the best.
Amazing video, love that I can know what baits to use without trying them.
Absolutely keep doing these! Its why I'm here! Thanks guys
Love your videos like this TB, you really hit the nail on the head with silent lipless crankbaits. I've caught my PB of 6lb 12oz Smallie with a Strike King silent lipless crankbait in a 1/2oz Chartreuse baitfish colour during the spring transition when everyone was using a rattletrap before the spawn while using a Med. Moderate action Kistler crankbait rod that has a soft tip so that no hooks will be pulled out while fighting the fish and the reel was a Lew's American hero spooled with 10lb-12lb Trilene Sensation flouro
Thank you for a true breakdown. More like this please!!
I can watch in depth, technical videos all day, esp when they're backed by credible experience! Question: if you can only hang one single hook on a lipless, would you place it in the belly or the tail?
Belly, tail hook ups are more likely to pop off
I think you're right, but tail hooks are much more weedless if you're yoyoing...
I would go belly bc alot of fish swipe at the head of actual bait fish and stun them fish also tend to eat bait head first your hookups will be better and you'll be less likely to lose fish
Tail hook, fewer snags/weeds.
Matt, how about more striper tips? I have never caught one and have been trying all year. All tips are greatly appreciated!
As usual great video. Your instructional videos have really helped me step my game up. Thanks for your advice on one of my favorite baits to fish.
I like the sound of your technique tim, I've used it with a spinner bait with good success, table rock here i come
I love this video. It's great insite into a tequnice that I love to fish. Keep up this type of content. If I can request a topic for a video in the future. Is a chatterbait video. I now you guys have done a spinnerbait and swim jig. But I haven't seen a chatterbait.
Love the in depth stuff. Wanted to learn more about ripping grass and the gear you guys use for that
Lets go down another tunnel in that rabbit hole... The Evergreen that sits nose down while on bottom is a deadly bed fish bait. They destroy magic gill and I feel I have a better hook up ratio that the Matt lures blue gill... I'm a lipless junkie in the spring and fall. I 100% agree with everything you said. I would recommend the Cordel spot for 1-3 feet of water, the normal redeye for 2-5 feet, 2tap redeye for 5-7 and the LV500 for anything over 7.
You guys are awesome, thank for the info! I went out yesterday and caught a 6lber on the lipless using some of those techniques.
