Great ideas I have not thought about the heavy spinnerbait. Hopefully I can find some time this month to try it with doing this kitchen remodeling. Thanks Larry Tucker
I’ve been slaying bass on a curly tail grub. Im on vacation and all I have is a spinning rod and the grubs we’re cheap, I need to start using grubs more. Great job in Guntersville!
I love this style of video! That rod, reel and tackle is your real power tool and catching fish is how you keep the lights on. You’re on top of your game and no man can argue that. Thank you for sharing and may your success in this sport continue to grow!
Interesting bit about the lake you covered it Choke Canyon, Texas Lake is my home lake. It's down 24', really challenging with all the tournaments and gators. Yep, gators and big ones.
Inside the mind of bass fishing mad scientist. Amazing and insightful. I truly love watching you talk bass, you are so passionate and have honed your skill set. Great job as always man.
I mainly use a zoom mag2 or a ole monster in purple, any plum color, june bug blue, red bug, & California craw, but the big worm works especially in grass, great video!🎣👍
I know most of these videos are talking about largemouth. I would love to see a bait break down for different species like a spot and smallmouth as well. Awesome video and your tips always help!
Great video, map breakdown was great. Would love to see video of how you graphed Guntersville and what you were looking for besides fish. Congratulations on your win at Guntersville.
Yo Brody, congratulations on the new trophy man! This is probably my favorite video that you have done, I love the map breakdown! Good luck with the rest of the season, tight lines 🎣
Yep up here in northeast. Full blown spawn. Fish on beds and some fry guarders, fun way to fish. Can either get them to bite or not …. Wish I had access to bodies of water like that. Lakes, ponds by me or max 5’ and black mud / leaf bottoms
Man this is a fantastic video. Lots of great info, goes from some very surface level concepts to some that are very in depth. Awesome video, keep it up.
Jacob great tips as always. I agree with you on the worms Texas rigged or wacky rigged, they both work well. I have experimented in my area on colors, brands and types of worms and nothing in my area of South Florida beats a green pumpkin Yamamoto senko. I prefer 7” for Texas rigged, 6” for wacky rigged and 5” neko rigged with a 1/32 oz nail weight.
This is one of my top 3 videos from you and maybe from anyone, keep it up! As a new angler and not having someone to mentor me, this really helps me to think about how to approach my lake. I would love to see a video on points. There is only one really defined point in my lake and it ends in 50ft of water which seems to deep to me. I have heard guys at the dock say there are many points in my lake but nothing that is really obvious to me. There must be more to it than the obvious points and ones that the TH-cam videos show that are I a nice 12ft of water.
Thank you for all your info you give us! I don’t have a ton of time to spend on the water so it helps narrow it down and loved seeing you show different areas on the map. Keep it up, and congrats on the win!
So far, I have really enjoyed the Redline hooks. I bought some of the finesse neko, and drop shot. Not sure if it is just where I purchased them, but I did not see a short shank wacky hook. I throw the gamakatsu finesse wide gap, I’m looking for something similar.
It has been super hot up north actually. The lakes I fish have already been through the spawn stage. Lots of 80-85 degree days so far has heated that water up so fast
Good stuff. What I like as a AMATEUR, is how you explain stuff. Have to imagine that 98% of us are fishing in a non-competitive environment. We're just looking for some advice. We DO ride your tournament victories though! Love your buddies (MD, DC) as well. Thanks so much for recording and posting. Appreciate ya!!!
I use a straight shank and skin hook it or a Eagle Claw 295 JBL and always torque the point up a little bit. Plus if i bought everything you guys said to use my damn boat would sink! 😂
Appreciate the videos full of great info we've fished Kentucky lake the last two weekends Son landed a 6.7lb First weekend but we got skunked the second
Great information! I’m curious what colors you’d suggest in the DT series. Been thinking about adding a full set, but not sure where I’d start color wise.
Wheeler may not be my favorite for a couple reasons. However he has my upmost respect and this is probably his best most informative video I've seen. Lots of key bits of post spawn info right there. Well done sir
Hey, U get up here by Geist again would love to be your caddy! lol If that doesn't work I can come down there and pick up around the shop, looks a little ignored, not that mine isn't!! Love the vids and MDJ rate the bait! Y'all are very funny to watch, especially DC who is ALWAYS eating! Anyways keep doing what y'all are doin!
Congrats man! Just got my first tournament win... And thx for these lil nuggets hidden in these videos. Don't really watch TH-cam for tips, but you're the damn best so gotta listen
ok here is a tip on big worms use plum apple red weight red hook then then here is juice put 2 beads red also now while in brush are point u can shake the rod... them beads will make a ton of noise just hint
Great tips. Congrats on the win boss! I’m interested in purchasing an autographed jersey of yours to add to my collection. Please help me out. Very big fan.
Absolutely blows my mind how you figure this stuff out. These maps and contours and stuff are like a foreign language to me. Can't figure it out. I just show up and fish....lol.
What gear ratio do you use on the deep dive crankbaits? If speed is tour friend, how fast does it need to be to make sure the bait is getting down at the right depth?
you forgot June Bug and a 5/0 trokar hook on a 7 inch fat max Culprit or 10 inch or with my 12 inch jelly worm i use the 11/0 Owner big worm big hook it works but i always got another texas rig set up with a 3/0 Gama hook with a Missle bait d bomb it works when they don't want the big worm and catch lot's of big fish with that plain ol d bomb in super bug color green pumpkin on one side of the bait and blue flake on the other side the best on the market in my book but i do like dragging a worm when i'm tired of that i'll jig a d bomb up n down like a crawfish pop it up let fall n sit a few then bounce off the bottom again n let it fall to the bottom again but usually you'll be caught one in just a minute or less or there's no fish there for sure , i thought i could out fish ol Wheeler but he's got a way with fish i've seen him in action
This is why you're my favorite angler you really go out of your way to teach others about bass fishing. Thanks Jacob.

Great video. Love the addition of using the map. Thanks
Interesting bit about the lake you covered it Choke Canyon, Texas Lake is my home lake. It's down 24', really challenging with all the tournaments and gators. Yep, gators and big ones.
Thanks for sharing not only the baits but also where to fish them. Now I have more confidence in where and how to fish these baits.
thanks for shouting out the north, its tough up here for us in the smaller lakes and ponds.
Inside the mind of bass fishing mad scientist. Amazing and insightful. I truly love watching you talk bass, you are so passionate and have honed your skill set. Great job as always man.
Great video, Jacob. Always enjoy seeing your content.
I mainly use a zoom mag2 or a ole monster in purple, any plum color, june bug blue, red bug, & California craw, but the big worm works especially in grass, great video!🎣👍
Your best video brother! Love hearing how you break the lake down and what baits you would throw! Great job! Look forward to more of the same!
Your shop would drive me CRAZY. Thanks for the video
Thanks for info and the lake breakdown was a bonus.
Best Bass fisherman on the plant and he gives us sounds of the baits when is describes them, gotta love it.
Jacob,
that was most kick ass informative video I've seen. Thanks !
I know most of these videos are talking about largemouth. I would love to see a bait break down for different species like a spot and smallmouth as well. Awesome video and your tips always help!
Thanks for the tips,I can use all the help I can get on the wise and schooled bass around nashville tn.
Dude I literally watched this video went outside at the lake and caught a 2 pounder on a big worm. thanks wheeler
My left ear really enjoyed this video!
Wonderful information. Thank you so much 😊

Keep doing map breakdowns! Maybe some East Tennessee river system lakes. Thanks for all the info

This was a very interesting video. Thank u so much. I really appreciate the map break down it really made me open my options. Keep them coming
Awesome job Mr. Wheeler. Thank you for make me a better angler.
For big worms like the Zoom Ol' Monster Junebug works best for me here in central NC.
JW super selection of baits. Thanks for sharing 🎣 👍
A great vid and a very awesome breakdown of lures and the lay of the lake. Keep up the good work on the tournament trail . Much respect from Japan
Love the sound effects we as fisherman use lol thump thump thump, thaaaa swack! lol
Big worms and buzztoads, my favorite time of year. I like Tx Rig, but I also love to fish a big worm on a shaky head personally.
Here in New Brunswick Canada our smallmouth spawn in May and June. I am a riverbank fisherman here in Fredericton New Brunswick.
Great video. Really like the map breakdowns. Congratulations on the Guntersville win.
Jacob thanks for your input. When did the hurricane hit your garage. Love the mess, looks like a Bass Head lives here!
Thank you for all your info you give us! I don’t have a ton of time to spend on the water so it helps narrow it down and loved seeing you show different areas on the map. Keep it up, and congrats on the win!

Think a lot for information very helpful

Thanks for the good info JW!
That Bruised Citrus Shad Rocco is awesome!
Wheeler may not be my favorite for a couple reasons. However he has my upmost respect and this is probably his best most informative video I've seen. Lots of key bits of post spawn info right there. Well done sir
U had to add that 1st part in there, huh?
Great addition to your videos
Hey, U get up here by Geist again would love to be your caddy! lol If that doesn't work I can come down there and pick up around the shop, looks a little ignored, not that mine isn't!! Love the vids and MDJ rate the bait! Y'all are very funny to watch, especially DC who is ALWAYS eating! Anyways keep doing what y'all are doin!
Great information. Good job.
What plug u using for beyond 20' since rapala doesn't make one?
Awesome video thanks
I peg, AND toothpick the worm/hook eye!!! An old school tech that many replaced with screw ons that tear the worms up.
Thanks for the video.
Right now michigan smallmouth is hot on beds loving every second. Where did that map come from. Im always looking for maps
June bug is one of my favorite colors
Congrats man! Just got my first tournament win... And thx for these lil nuggets hidden in these videos. Don't really watch TH-cam for tips, but you're the damn best so gotta listen
Awesome video thanks for the info...
Thank you Jacob!
Love the sound effects
Do you use braid with your jigs and Texas rig baits
What is your favorite bass fishing lake in indiana? I grew up fishing patoka lake but heard it's just a shell of what it once was.
What I would enjoy and learn so much is just to go fishing as a co angler with you
Tha big G! Let’s goooo! I’m bank fishing!
Great job thank you
Culprit pumpkin blue flake and green pumpkin blue flake are my go to colors.
The only thing I really do different and I get great hook ups is using a straight shank heavy hook but I skin hook the big worm and rarely miss one.
What line size do you throw the big worm on?
You speed crank in dirty water as well? Like, 1' visibility.
Big worm always makes me think of that dude from Friday 😂
So, everything in the tackle box
😆
ok here is a tip
on big worms
use plum apple
red weight red hook then then here is juice
put 2 beads red also
now while in brush are point u can shake the rod... them beads will make a ton of noise
just hint
Shhhh about the blue fleck Jacob please 😂
Great tips. Congrats on the win boss! I’m interested in purchasing an autographed jersey of yours to add to my collection. Please help me out. Very big fan.
Absolutely blows my mind how you figure this stuff out. These maps and contours and stuff are like a foreign language to me. Can't figure it out. I just show up and fish....lol.
Like the map instructions
Great video
What gear ratio do you use on the deep dive crankbaits? If speed is tour friend, how fast does it need to be to make sure the bait is getting down at the right depth?
6.2 is what I use I just reel it fast because that’s what I’m used to. I’m sure you could bump it up to a 7.3 or higher
Jay wheel (farm pond) start rockin Jordan’s on the boat. Try and get a jordan sponsorship that would be so dope
Tequila sunrise? What your thoughts?
Love the map help me out a lot
they are still pulling up on some parts of Hartwell.
Hey Wheels, what model spinning reel do you use? Is it Shimano Vanford?
He's sponsored by Duckett so I'm gonna say his reels are All Duckett brand
Blue fleck is the most underrated color of ole monster
Blue fleck is the deal on the Berkeley power worm
Do one for Cayuga or owasco lake and ny lures 😂
Are those Duckett rods?
Good stuff, especially for us indiana boys
Best post spawn video ever
I use 7mm for open water and 6mm for skipping or it will cut senko in half.
What about north east aka Maine
you forgot June Bug and a 5/0 trokar hook on a 7 inch fat max Culprit or 10 inch or with my 12 inch jelly worm i use the 11/0 Owner big worm big hook it works but i always got another texas rig set up with a 3/0 Gama hook with a Missle bait d bomb it works when they don't want the big worm and catch lot's of big fish with that plain ol d bomb in super bug color green pumpkin on one side of the bait and blue flake on the other side the best on the market in my book but i do like dragging a worm when i'm tired of that i'll jig a d bomb up n down like a crawfish pop it up let fall n sit a few then bounce off the bottom again n let it fall to the bottom again but usually you'll be caught one in just a minute or less or there's no fish there for sure , i thought i could out fish ol Wheeler but he's got a way with fish i've seen him in action
Help us smallmouth river fishing guys out like up here in PA!
