Bluegill Swimbaits - Everything You Need To Know! Underwater Footage

Bass love eating bluegill! Today we're covering everything you need to know to catch fish on bluegill swimbaits! Come underwater to see the actions of different soft baits, glide baits, and multi-piece hard baits as Matt teaches the fine details of how, when, and where to throw these fish catching baits.

Not all bluegill swimbaits are created equal! Some are easy for bass to eat while others get bites but rarely hook the fish. We've spent years trying the different styles to find the best of the best and we're happy to share the results with you. Whether you're fishing around grass, pitching into heavy cover, or just casting along the shore, there is a bait in this mix that will help you catch more fish.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits, in the order they appear. We've included our favorite sizes and colors for each, along with some of the rods and gear we use to fish them effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

UnderSpin Swimbait Tricks You've Never Tried! (Underwater Swim Footage)

Underspins are AMAZING fish catching baits! The trouble is, everyone knows it! Today we're showing the tricks we use to better match the baitfish and catch MORE FISH, when others are struggling to get bit. Spring time is prime time to fish an underspin and this is the information you need to be successful.

If you've never thrown a Keitech swimbait on an underspin, you've missed an incredible opportunity. The Keitech has put 10's of thousands of fish in angler's boats over the last few years. However, there are many other baits that do an even better job in different situations and you're probably not using them. Today Tim is breaking down his favorite baits and heads, and explaining the advantage of each in different situations.

If you're fishing around schooling fish chasing larger shad and you're not using a Largo shad, you're missing out! If they're schooling on tiny shad and you're not throw a Cool Baits paired with an Easy Shiner, you're missing out! Below you'll find Links to the exact baits and heads Tim discussed. We've included our favorite colors for each, along with some of the gear we use to fish them.

Swimbait Fishing Is EASY! Spring Bass Fishing For BIG Bass!

We're down in Georgia and Matt is throwing big baits! Come along on a post-front day and watch how Matt targets big bass with a swimbait despite tough conditions. Spring is prime time to catch a new personal best and Matt is showing us just how easy it can be when you commit to a big swimbait and fish it instead of other lures.

After fishing traditional baits like a Senko and Texas-Rigged worm Matt quickly realized it was going to be a difficult day on the water. Instead of putting his head down and catching what he could, he re-geared, picked up the big baits, and committed to trying to get a BIG bite, rather than catching numbers of fish. The decision paid off immediately when Matt got his biggest bass of the day on the 3rd cast!

Below you'll find links to the swimbaits Matt was throwing, including the rigging components, as well as his swimbait setups. We've also included some of our other favorite Spring time swimbaits. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
