Crazy Fishing Lures That Actually Work!!

Some baits catch fish, some just catch fisherman. The crazier the bait, the more you wonder about it.  Is that bait junk or is it something special? Today we're looking at some of those odd ball, goofy baits that actually catch fish! These designers were thinking outside the box when they built these lures and the gamble paid off. If you're tired of throwing the same old baits, this video is for you!

Its safe to say that we're all attracted to crazy looking lures. In years past most of us fell for the flying lure, the helicopter lure, and those crazy looking crankbaits with glowing red eyes. Most of the really off the wall baits turned out to be junk, but once in a while we'd stumble on a gem that actually caught fish. In today's fast-paced world there are more crazy lures than ever! So which ones are actually worth trying? Tim is about to show us his favorites!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits discussed in the video. The baits are listed in the order they appeared and all links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each bait. We've included our favorite sizes and colors for each lure as well.

Finesse Underspin Swimbaits For Summer Bass!

Come along for an evening on the Tennessee River with Tim and Josiah. The guys are targeting schooling fish with a variety of baits before finally keying in on an underspin. Once they pick up the under spin, its like a light switch flipped and bass start coming into the boat right and left!

We all know the power of swimbaits, especially small swimbaits, when it comes to targeting schooling fish. But taking it a step further, an underspin with its increased flash and vibration, is amazing at drawing bass' attention away from schools of baitfish. That little blade can be the difference between catching a few fish, and having an amazing time on the water. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear the guys were using. We've also included details about the sizes of the heads and exact bait colors we use for schooling fish. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Multi Species Madness Fishing At The Dam!

We're fishing the outflow below a dam in search of big Striped Bass and anything else that wants to bite! Come along as we throw a variety of swimbaits in search of big bites. This style of fishing isn't for the faint of heart with heavy current, big whirlpools, and giant fish... except on this day... on this day it might as well be a pond. We had to work for our bites under these conditions but BIG fish still hit the deck!

Fishing the outflow of a dam is all about current flow. Fish in these systems have adapted to eating on schedule with the dam's flow. When water is pumping, baitfish are disoriented in the current coming out of the pumps and gates, making them an easy meal for predators. When the water stops, so do the easy meals, causing the larger predator fish to go dormant. When we pulled up to the dam and saw there was zero flow of any kind, we knew we had our work cut out for us!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment we used in the video. We've included the exact sizes and colors so you can mirror our technique on your own fisheries. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

How To Lose A 10 Lber In The Cold 😳😂 Late Fall Bass Fishing Fail!

Sometimes the fish win! Unfortunately its usually the really big ones that do! We work really hard to put the odds in our favor but its still fishing, and sometimes things go wrong. Come along for a crazy day on Lake Chickamauga! Air temps in the 40's but the bass are up shallow and willing to eat!

Could the pattern get any stranger? Half the bites coming on an Alabama Rig, the other half on a frog. We're not sure why, but we're not arguing either! Tim got a shot at a true Chickamauga GIANT bass but she had other plans. If you quit fishing in the Fall because its getting cold, these are the days you're missing! Get back out there!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we used throughout the day. We've included the exact colors and sizes as well. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
