Hey Matt, for sure. For starters, sometimes bass just respond better to the action of the bladed jig so it's always worth experimenting with. Also, having a properly weighted bladed jig gives you a whole lot of latitude with depth control. For example, you can work a 1/2 or 3/4-ounce bladed jig from just below the surface to dragging the bottom in 15 to 20 feet of water. You don't have the ability to force a specific depth with a crankbait. Lastly, many bladed jig models come through grass relatively cleanly so that can be a big plus if you're fighting it with a crankbait.
For sure, Jake mentions that specifically in this video. Sonar isn't all that great at marking fish when they're buried in the grass so the only way to determine if fish are in the area is to actually fish. Kinda refreshing letting on the graphs from time to time and letting the lures do the fish finding!
You just have to feel your way around with the crankbaits. If you're getting hung in the grass repeatedly, switch to a shallower crank or fan cast until you find a clean cast or drop off where the weeds stop.
@@tablerockkid8237 oh sorry I thought you meant for the boat and all. close to 25k for the electronics all the mounts and cables and the trolling motor
@@donavonmaddasion341 - no sweat. Figured that. 20-25k is probably pretty close. More than I paid for my boat new. He has already won a lot more than that though so I'm sure he isn't hurting. 😁
I am a coangler in the BFL and it never ceases to amaze me how many boaters can’t grasp this concept. Aside from the fact that most boaters will catch a fish and then keep moving....facepalm...fish the spot! There could be a school there!

Excellent presentation. Fishing on side of point, ingenious. Fish more of the existing real estate and catch more of the residents.
Thank you.
"if you ain't crankin, you ain't thankin" Ott Defoe.. Great tips as always
Jacob wheeler is such a good teacher
Good video, jacob. I do the same thing you do, I use trolling to find them, then casting to catch them.
Good stuff Wheeler! 🎣 👊🏼💯🇺🇸
Thanks for the tips my friend!
My very favorite bite!
Aside from topwater of course but that goes without saying🤣
JDub is the man!
Love watching this guy fish
Very informative video! Keep'em coming!!!
We're on it, appreciate the comment.
Great vid. Thanx lil Dickie 👍 You the man!
Thanks for the great learning experience from this👌👍
We're glad you found it helpful Paul. Appreciate your time.
Is there any advantage of throwing a crankbait vs a bladed jig through these grassy points?

Please do more videos like this. Thanks
More to come!
Jdub do you make cast and fish areas even when you haven't marked fish on the graph?

Love the tips. Time to put them to use!
Perfect!
Nice vid, what were the rod, reel, and line setups for each crankbait presentation?
All the same set-up. Details in the video description!
@@Wired2Fish yeah, I saw after submitting this question. Thanks.
Are you casting at the point, across the point, outside of the point?
Summer time crankin!!
All year crankin!!!
Great video, but what about for the ones who dont have electronics to find edges and drops and under water structure?
You just have to feel your way around with the crankbaits. If you're getting hung in the grass repeatedly, switch to a shallower crank or fan cast until you find a clean cast or drop off where the weeds stop.
@@Wired2Fish thank you, any recommendations on crank bait rod and reel arsenal
Nice bass, nice place and good video 👍
Thanks Jorge!
You guys should do a night fishing vid
Not a bad idea, something we're definitely lacking in. On the list!
I second that suggestion. Thanks in advance. Great stuff!
great info, thx
Nicely Done ~
Guys a genius
Some excellent points in this video for sure!
Thanks Jacob
Right on, thanks for watching.
covering that water baby
When did wheeler go over to Team 13?
Rapala bought a large stake in them and is one of his major sponsors so that’s why.
Nice
I’d like to know what all his electronics cost plus his trolling motor. I bet it’s more than I paid for my 202 Champion.
close to 90000
@@donavonmaddasion341 for his electronics and trolling motor?
@@tablerockkid8237 oh sorry I thought you meant for the boat and all. close to 25k for the electronics all the mounts and cables and the trolling motor
maybe a little more

Don't u guys ever think jwheels is actually fishing a jabber jaw lolololol
He suuure does! th-cam.com/video/VPeUZbSM0TY/w-d-xo.html
Not longer fishing with all those electronics
