This BAIT Catches Giants when it gets Tough! (Tournament Tip) Ep. 184

In todays video we will discuss one of the best back up baits to use for a Thunder Cricket/Chatterbait. I recently ran into this situation at Lake Okeechobee and it made a huge difference in catching a big bass. When the weather changes, the worst thing you can do is the same thing and expect different results. Make the right adjustments and catch more bass!

100% agree man I have one of these on my front deck all spring through fall as a backup... Its even a great stand alone bait when you're dealing with heavily pressured fish. A couple weeks ago I cashed a check on Toledo fishing in 6 mile throwing a belly waited swim bait in the grass. There was so many people fishing in there and they just wouldn't commit to anything you'd typically use this time of year but they were choking my swim bait. Im not the biggest fan of the bladed hooks especially when I'm dealing with pressured fish but theres definitely time they eat that better. Glad to see you making some videos again keepem coming brother!!!

You figured out my secret but I use a different swimbait and a smaller weight and fish it slow is the key. Count down how deep it is when there bitting it. And perch is the color, I’ve got one tied on always! My confidence bait and it almost always works if it don’t go home. LOL I don’t text pose the hook but I’ll try that. Thx for the juice! Keep the faith! 👍🥸🙏

...never had much luck with a thunder cricket running true...typically stops vibrating and I'll have to adjust the blade
