Underwater Drop Shotting | Crystal Clear Bass Fishing Footage!

This is the clearest Underwater finesse fishing footage we've ever captured! We even included the "above water" angle so you can get a full picture of what is going on. These bass can't resist the drop shot and the finesse tube. 

Spring smallmouth are incredibly aggressive, especially when the spawn begins. Its very educational to watch how they interact with the finesse baits. We were amazed to see that the fish's dorsal fins stand up as soon as the baits touch the surface of the water. Before they can see the worm they're already on high alert, waiting for it to arrive.. It makes you wonder what else they're aware of!

BIG Swimbaits Getting DESTROYED! Epic Underwater Footage!

We got the CRAZIEST Underwater Footage you've ever seen of bass eating swimbaits! These fish are SMASHING glide baits and soft baits right in front of the camera! We all love underwater footage of bass fishing but this takes it a step further!

If you've ever wondered if bass really eat big swimbaits, you have to check this out! The old adage that big baits equal big fish couldn't be more true! 

You might notice that we were fishing these baits very erratically. This is not necessarily how we would fish these baits in a typical scenario, this was an attempt to draw a "reaction strike" from the fish in front of the camera. A slow, methodical retrieve is typically better suited for open water.

Insane Underwater Footage!! Bass Eating Jerkbaits + Fishing Tips!

This is the craziest bass fishing footage EVER! The largemouth in this video are destroying every jerkbait we put in front of them! 5 different baits got mangled during the making of this video!

Jerkbait fishing is one of the easiest ways to "trigger" a feeding response in a bass. Where most baits rely on a bass' desire to feed the jerkbait can actually force them to react at an instinctual level. 

We've spent countless hours filming underwater footage of bass reacting to lures and we can confidently say that they consistently react to a jerkbait more than any other lure. The next time you're on the water and the bite gets tough, don't forget to try a jerk bait!
