- These tricks will save you time and money the next time you throw a swimbait! We're covering when to throw an underspin, when a hollow belly is better than a paddle tail, and how to quit wasting so many keitechs! If you want to catch a swimbait fish this Spring, this is the video for you.
We cover basic rigging with weedless swimbait heads like the Owner Beast as well as traditional rigging with the Matt Allen swimbait head. Next we discuss the best underspins for a variety of circumstances and last we take it a step further and cover how to make your own underspins on the fly.

This is the best teaching channel out there period
Facts. Their videos are amazing. So many tips and tricks that would have taken me a long time (if ever) to figure out
I completly agree but on the other hand I will say that they seem to be pushing products a lot more then in the past. Not saying its a negative thing but definetly noticable . i love this channel so I'm not baggin on them at all, just my opinion.
I agree. Just loaded a video on finesse swimbaits this week. There is One bait Matt or Tim did not mention that I catch lots of bass on, Thanks guys, FLC Dennis
Agree 100% not even a question
@@LtDansLegs7 Plus.. your know-it-all buddies are going to sling so much bullshit you won’t know what is true.
That Matt Alan head is phenomenal my son just finished in the top 3 at a highschool tournament with 300 boats at a lake he had never fished and never fished a swimbait, he's only 14, threw it all day and caught them from 5ft to 50ft deep.
Yes!!! That's awesome!!
Nobody told him he couldnt fish there? lmao people these days.
That head is phenomenal!!!! Amazing action
@@dutchdettweiler wtf are you talking about?
It always blows my mind that Matt and Tim dont have more subscribers. These guys should quite literally be the spokesperson for every and ALL bass outlets. Also they should have their own t.v. series
Owner CPS Spring (Large Size), an absolute GAME CHANGER!! Keitech swimbaits are all I use! Thank you for helping me put more money in my wallet. You guys are awesome!
Ponds here in DE are 39 degrees!! Your vids help me so much in the winter, I couldn’t catch all these monster bass without you guys👍
You're a Delaware channel too? Dude hit us up!
Not really a channel but I do live in DE😂
Not sure why the "thumbs down".I once read that the greatest sin man can commit is to be consumed with jealously...hmmmm., Great PRESENTATION with a WEALTH of information! Keep up the good work!
Excellent video, this and all your videos are so well explained. I have learned so much from you and Tim. Thank you. I.agree with some of the other comments here, you and Tim should have more followers and maybe your own tv show. I’m not a newbie, Al Linder and Roland Martin were my fishing hero’s when I was first trying to learn how to fish. Those guys are still great but, your videos are so much more detailed and descriptive, taking time to show minor details that can make all the deference. Many of the pros don’t want us to know these little tips and tricks, but you guys are making us all better fishermen. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
Nessy sighting at 2:19 and again at 3:53. LOL
Thanks for the advice and tips Matt.
Yooooooo! I see it! 😂
@@timisoutdoors LOL
It amazes me after watching you guys videos for a few years now, that you are still under 200k subscribers. Your videos are incredibly detailed and informative, as well as some awesome fishing footage, above and below the water. Keep it up, guys!
Over the next month he says shoot my water in eastern Kentucky are froze or wont produce.
During winter I learn the winter techniques that work in cali and flordia during winter for my early spring late fall. It'll happen.Thank you guys for the videos it keeps me hoping for bass. watching you guys through these months of draining lakes. learning these ways of fishing that works for us a little later. They keep me from going insane. Seeing these guys that can fish for bass all year long is kind of a florigen language. I was taught In winter you fish for blue gill or crappie and you catch big bass. That's my way of life. In may and June I can produce on the swim bait and on the crank bait its a different world. In different environment. I use your systems and apply them to me and they do amazing. My friend caught a 8 pond bass of an all white spinnerbait when I didn't think it would catch anything. In 35 degree water with hydrilla taken over out local lake. Crystal clear water used to scare me until I watched a few videos through Tacticalbassin. Thank you guys for all you teach us. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST! Keep up the good work my wife has been getting on to me because im watching all your old videos. The other day she said she learned all about flipping and pitching just from me sitting there listing to it while I was playing with my baitcaster. Pitching into trees while I was listing to your video on my speaker.
Hey Michael! While on the one hand I'm really glad you're taking the info and shifting it to your seasons (that's exactly what you should do) I also hope you know there are guys near you that manage to fish year round. We've got some friends in Ashland and they're still bass fishing right now. Its hard work... they were pushing a bit of ice a couple weeks ago, but they're still getting out there. Your bass will bite year round, its just a matter of how cold you want to be, but know that if the cabin fever gets too intense it can be done on your local fisheries.
It’s funny, In Michigan I keep catching Northern while fishing for bass with your tips. My 8yr old loves catching big northern. Look forward to catching more northern on paddle tails this spring. Thanks guys.

LEGENDARY LOCH NESS MONSTER
I had to go back and check Nessy
Been upgrading the springs for awhile now, and I keep the old springs to put into the front of dropshot baits that I'm gonna nosehook. The spring gives the Dropshot bait more longevity, as nosehooked baits can get shredded pretty quick on a good bite with the smallmouth. Anyhow, hope this helps someone, great video as always.
Thank you for sharing this great information with us, Matt! The information you present in this video will be a great help in selecting those last few items I need to be ready for my bass fishing season to be off to a great start!
I have to let you and Tim know that both of you and this channel have really helped me step up my game for bass fishing. My equipment and techniques have vastly improved over the last year and a lot of the credit for that belongs to Tactical Bassin.
You guys test and review equipment and I usually end up buying what I can from the good stuff a little, (and sometimes a lot!) ,at a time! For this reason my wife doesn't share my enthusiasm for your channel, but she does loves me, so it is all good here. Lol!
Thanks again.
I've added the underspin to my arsenal over the winter. These mid to small swimbaits both with and without an underspin have been very effective for me. I began running the underspin below balls of shad when bass have been active and it has proven very effective. I've landed several good sized bass this winter with that methodand crawling a swimbait on bottom is a fun option to a ned rig. Great lesson, Matt!
I fish inshore salt for snook, redfish, and trout, but still found this very informative. I've had some underspins gathering salt in a tray for a while and this reminded me to give them a try.👍
Hey Matt, I've got one thing to add on to that Large CPS trick that will make the bait last even longer. I've switched all my CPS to the large size and then shove a tooth pick in through the bait and through the gaps in the middle of the spring horizontally. It just gives that much more for the bait to catch on before the nose rips out. I fish a lot of 5.8 to 7.8 keitechs as well as some $15+ custom soft body swimbaits and it saves me A TON. I regularly catch 30+ fish on the before it rips out and a lot of tines just some mend-it will repair the nose enough to use the same trick and get you another 15+ fish on the bait.
Such a good way to catch fish, I really upped my game last year after your videos. A little bit of know how goes a long way, I've always had the stuff but not a lot of background to fall back on, so to say this channel has helped is an understatement
Dude i woke up this morning planning on using some keitechs i bought last week and here you are helping a brotha out with just that!
My god....life has been changed forever with the CPS large spring...went through a pack of keitechs just yesterday and was riping my hair out
Awesome idea with changing to the Large size CPS!!!! That's why I'm here and that's why Tactical Bassin is the best on YT!!!
The spring tip is genius.. Thanks you just saved myself and many others a great amount of hard earned money..
One of the best swimbait videos yet!!!
Thank you Matt really helped me understand the concepts of swimbaits have a great day.
Great Job once again Matt. Happy to see you getting ready for a new year of fishing.
Amazing video. So much info and straight to the point. I love how Matt handles and rigs the baits so fast and they look perfect. You can feel the passion this guy has when he speaks. This channel is so helpful. We are so blessed to have Tactical Bassin help become better anglers. Giving us more confidence, inspiring us to get out there and get er done. Thanks Matt and Tim. Wish you guys would head down to the Fred Hall show long beach some time. They'll have to order more seats for your seminar!
I struggled also in the past finding a good weedless hook for the mid/larger (~5") paddle tail swimbaits until I tried the VMC drop dead weighted hooks. The 4/0 (3/16 and 1/4oz) has been a great hook and although the twist lock springs aren't great they do work. Sometimes I replace those and go on Amazon and get some Owner equivalent ones for much cheaper (Hyamass brand was a perfect high quality replacement).
The VMC hooks are normally pretty sharp new but I do sharpen them after a few fish but the hook up ratio with them has been great. When the twist locks rip out I super glue the heads of the bait closed and they last for several more fish. The twist lock springs fight you sometimes going back in after gluing but force the pin through then just take your time twisting it in straight but it works. Besides Keitech I find the BPS speed shad to be great paddle tail baits and the BPS ones are a couple of bucks cheaper.
Wow what an upgrade on that large spring!!👊
Appreciate the large spring trick. Will be ordering some soon
Great info as always tight lines from Arkansas have a blessed day
Agreed. Great Tips MATT. APPRECIATE ALL YOUR HARD WORK!
So much information! Great video! Thank you for educating us weekend warriors. 🎣
This is my favorite Bass fishing channel.
you guys have some of the best info for baits and fishing in general love the channel and hope I run into you guys one day out fishing some where!
Matt I swish I could go fishing with you and Matt y'all seem to have more knowledge than some of the pros I love fishing myself and I learn a lot from you guys and y'all make me feel like I'm apart of y'all's tactical bassin family, I love how y'all take an hour or two out of your day on the water just to give some tips when you could be catching lunker's , thanks for all talks hard work and tips and I really would like to go fishing with you ps I really love fishing
Thanks, I have never been interested in fishing one of these. You made it look easy and I can't wait to try it m
Thanks for the tips.. Definitely buying some owner cps large springs for my beast hooks now!!
Thanks so much for the large owner spring keeper tip. Such a great idea!
Paddle tails are my go to search bait spring through fall! Got some good tips nice vid
Great videos! I myself have learned a lot. Thank you both.
Get you some Smash Tech Hollow Body swimbaits. They put plastic a lot further in the head so you have something to screw into.
You guys continue to make me a better fisherman and are marriage counselors. 😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣
True Bass used to be the Hippo
I may have told you but the new Powerbait Hollowbelly swims really good
The edge of your boat makes an interesting view when viewing this video!!
Love paddle tails just have trouble riging them until now thank you
Great explanation’s and tips. thanks I hope you keep making these videos, really narrows things down!
Great technique for fishing, Congratulations Fisherman!
*Hug!!!!* 👍🎣🐠🐟😎
Perfect timing, just getting ready for my big TW order. Thanks Tactical 😁
Much love from chicago 🤘
Here too from Bartlett, IL!
Just started my guard shift and this arrives ;) great content
I really learn a lot watching y'alls videos
Thanks. Still iced over up here in northern NJ suffering cabin fever. Raring to get out there.
Awesome, thanks Matt 😎
Awesome video, I am going to get into all sorts of swimbaits this year becuase of you guys. ive been just soaking in all this info yall uave been giving out. I cant wait to try glide and soft swimbaits.
I can also attest to the owner flashy swimmer, I cuaght my PB on it. I had it rigged on a strike king caffeine shad (baby bass) mid spawn female bass just about ripped the rod out of my hand.
This is good stuff. Some much info but presented in a way that is easy to understand.
Thanks for this i have been having trouble riging these thing's up
Found the video very informative learned a few helpful pointers thanks for sharing 👍
Its funny, as someone who fishes reds and specks and now getting into bass, this info works inshore too.
Good stuff and major seminar. Thanks.
Excellent! Really instructional. Thanks!
i normally put Matt and Tim on while im preparing to teach my classes
Awesome tips and tricks. Thanks guy's
I saw the Loch Ness Monster swim across the lake behind you at 2:30.
Great videos matt since get ur great advises cost my divorce i spend 175 box on tw but you guy are the best in the whole you tube fishing channel best lure reviews and knowledge and fishing technique love you guys
Could you guys do a video on scrounged/dealy rig? Curious if you guys throw them at all and what your thoughts are on them.
Awesome information, thank you Matt!
Warbaits are the best underspins and best jig heads I have ever used, they have heavy sharp hooks
Hey Matt, not really related, but you did a video on how to throw big swimbaits years ago. That video was geared towards preserving your body. I'd like to see an updated video covering not just the casting motion, but also optimizing accuracy and distance.
PS, I bought my first swimbait rod today because of TacticalBassin. It'll probably see more use muskie fishing than anything (actually bought it at a muskie convention), but it's definitely gonna do a lot of swimbait chucking too.
thanks for the info Matt!! I been looking for a good hook for the 5.8 keitech forever. Also was having the same problem with the Owner springs.
Great stuff man! Love your guys videos.
Can’t wait till I get my Matt Allen Swimbait heads!
Great video, really enjoyed it and learned a lot.
Tear Em Up brother!
At 4 min did the lock Ness monster swim by. Nice
Awesome information. Thank you guys
Hey Matt: I get a KICK (pun intended) out of your usual closing remarks
"... if you enjoyed the video ..."
Of course we enjoyed the video; all your videos are AWESOME
EXCELLENT BREAKDOWN MAN👍
Super educational as usual!
You guys should make a video on throwing crank baits with vs without snaps
Interesting information as always, thanks
Greatest Info For Bass,Yall Rock 👊
lol, on an off-note... you leaning over the edge of your boat in the video looked really cool, it looks like a 3D video of you occasionally leaning out over the edge of the screen, lmao... GREAT VIDEO
AMAZING INFO!!! Thank you very much!!
Great Information Thank You!
Still great stuff, thanks man.
Great video guys! Since it doesn't look like it's going away, have you guys thought of doing a scrounger video? I would be interested in your thoughts on where that rig fits in with similar presentations like c-rigs, keitechs, chatterbaits, or deep cranks
Quality video
So I just ordered Medium and small springs Medium for Flukes. Wish Id got a pack of LArge LOL. You are killing me
Sorry bud! Those mediums will be perfect for the fluke. Its tougher material and it holds.
@@tacticalbassin No problem there will always be another order.
Gonna try your Banjo Minnow Fluke as soon as the water warms .Small ones for a floating worm
I know you guys like the Keitechs, but I gave up on them pretty quickly. Yeah, they caught fish, but they did hold up at all. I found that I could throw Zoom Swimmin Flukes, my catch rate was just as good, and they held up much better.
Also, I actually figured out a rig to make my own center pin springs. Gotta make one in the larger size, though.
Big fan of the swimbaits too... Plain swim bait hook, underspins, swim jig and spinner bait trailers. Wondering if y'all have tried the Yamamoto heart tails and what you thought of them in comparison to your favs... Like a Keitech???
Thanks so much for this video I really loved this video
good video. love these baits.
Great info, as always.
Exciting!
Great, informative video!
3:55. Loch ness monster just photo bombed you
Your killing me giving away my secrets!!! 😆 😆 😆 😆
Ha! Sorry brother!!
Thought you were about to jump out of the computer screen 😂
What exposed hook size do you recommend for the 4.8 and 5.8 Keitech Fat ? Suggested weight for the 5.8 on the Delta ? Thanks
Great vid you guys are 👌 awesome Love the passion in depth views 👍✌
Yeah much appreciated
