I'm glad Berkley listened. It is much more versatile for rigging now. Don't forget to add a spinner blade to make it an underspin too. I like the Z-Man TRD spin if I'm in a hurry but there are other homemade ways to rig a spinner also.
I've been seeing these on. Other channels. I can't wait to get my hands on some. Finally a great use for the 7/0 3/4 oz Tush hooks I got last year when they were released
I cut the harness out of a 6in I bought before they came out with the unrigged version, I wanted to be able to fish around lay downs with a swimbait hook and it works awesome!
Im really into the Bucca Burrito style boot tails. They're more natural in appearance in motion. Similar to a storm largo. But are solid and have a natural profile with a really subtle thump and minimum body roll. The thumps let you know when you're fishint it at the proper speed
I want the unrigged Cull Shad but hadn’t thought about the Tush for it. I have the factory rigged Cull Shads, but haven’t fished it much because bottom rigged swim baits are snag fests in the ponds I bank fish. I will order some more Tush hooks to try with them when they start showing up. Can’t wait. 😎
Howdy MS, hope all is well. I used the TUSH for the first time a few weeks ago in northern WI and caught everything! Smallies, largies, northern... so much fun. I was using the 1/8 ounce 2/0 and a three inch crush city paddle tail. I bought a handful of TUSH hooks in 2/0 and 4/0 with different weights and soon realized that you need a thick plastic to get over the heavier weights, like 1/4 ounce on a 2/0. If I want to fish a 1/4 or 3/8 ounce TUSH should I really be buying a larger hook so plastics can get over the weight? Thanks for the education. Cheers, JJ
Hey Matt, Just curious why you skipped the Detroit River Invitational this past weekend. Looks like they caught a lot of smallmouth and saw a lot of the same names but was just curious. Another a good video, good luck in the next tournament!
What type and pound test line are you recommending for that set up? Sorry, I sent this before I saw that you explained it. 17lb fluorocarbon line. Got it.
I just don't like that the honeycomb is too far up or that the tail is a bit too long. This and Strike King's new swimbaits are same in that regards. Short strikes galore.

Good swimbait
I really like the action of the cull shad but I’ve heard great stuff about the burrito’s
Don’t they have two weights now?

Thanks Matt

you will need to go a size larger in plastics to get them over the bigger weight unfortunatly,
@@MattStefanFishing copy that, good luck in your next tourny!

no reason for me just to fish one event and my boys had their birthday party
@@MattStefanFishing priorities, agree would much rather be there for that, awesome!

Sounds good
Thanks Matt. When do you use big chartreuse swimbaits this time of year.
On overcast windy days
@@MattStefanFishing Thank you
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching
Matt, have you found there are more ideal weather conditions to throw this? I’ve hear several pros say that you need wind and overcast skies.
Depends on the cover you are fishing
do you see a future where I can get Core Tackle products at Fleet-Farm? that would be awesome!
I hope so

Fair enough
Love the way the Cull Shad skips!!
Me too
