Amazing Underwater Footage of 8 Big Swimbaits!
Come underwater and see why bass eat swimbaits! Are you fishing with the right swimbait this Spring? All 8 baits have completely different kicks and profiles. Some baits focus on realism, others focus on secondary action. Which baits are which and when should you use them? Today's underwater footage will give you the confidence you need to throw swimbaits for bass in the prespawn.
Today's underwater footage is broken into two segments. The first is what we call "wedge tail" baits. These baits are characterized by a slow, methodical kick with tight action and realistic paint jobs. The focus is on realism and relies heavily on a bass' desire to feed. The second is focused on "boot tails". These baits tend to have wider kicks, body roll, and vibration. Boot tailed baits are focused on triggering a reaction strike rather than eliciting a desire to feed. Both methods are incredibly effective at different times and should be represented in a serious swimbait angler's arsenal.
In today's video we chose these 8 baits because of their unique actions and appearances. Each of these baits are proven fish catchers and should be considered when deciding on the right option for your fishery. Below you'll find a breakdown of all 8 baits including the gear we use to rig them, the rods and reels we use, as well as color recommendations for each.
