Heading out to some Local Ponds, so will watch when I get back. Can't wait to see which 14 baits Matt features in this Top 5 video. 🤣 . FYI: There's a nice sale still going on at Tackle Warehouse; good way to help support this channel. Take care, everyone!
😂"Not all guys want to power fish" I needed a good laugh thanks Matt. Really hope you guys will be doing a video on fishing flooded brush, trees etc before spring really hits. Thanks for all you do
They have a video of them fishing a PFA where I live in hawkinsville Ga. It’s flood brush and trees. CC caught a monster! There is huge fish in that PFA and they are hard to catch!
Matt, you have no idea how much I appreciate, as a guy that’s severely color blind, that you not only name the industry name of a bait(go-to) but also describe the colors in it and which colors are key! The industry has definitely screwed the color blind with their idiotic names of colors of baits. If a bait is called Margarita Mutilater, Tilapia Magic, Aaron’s Magic, Sexy whatever, there is no indication of the true color of a bait. Thanks again for always explaining the key colors. Helps more than you know.
These two guys litterally get me through winter. Love em. And if I could only have one of Matt’s “ if I could only have one of these lures” , oh wait I do. Your welcome TW. Keep up the great videos guys.
Nobody makes better fishing vids than TB. Thanks Matt, for all of the knowledge that you and Tim share so generously, and so often! I wouldn’t be half the fisherman I am if not for the lessons I’ve learned thru watching you guys over the years.
I just tied on a fire craw hammer, a white hammer, a underspin with largo shad, a finesse jig, lipless and a texas rig. My new toys should be ready to go come spring.
Great information and content! Thanks Matt. Have you guys considered making more videos around 15 minutes long? This may be a new sweet spot. Thanks for considering. Tight lines!
Arizona is definitely tip toeing to that spring bite. Caught them super shwallow down in Yuma AZ. Had a 75+ weekend. Cold mornings but water temp quickly got to 58 Fahrenheit due to it being a primarily shallow river. Can't wait for the lake's and warmer temps. I'm a kayak only guy old town sportsmen 120 PDL.
Chatterbait MiniMax with a SpunkShad has been money for me in south Florida. LMB, Peacocks, Snakehead, Mayan cichlids…not even including brackish water species. All of em love that minimax
Matt, there's one brand and particular model of a jerkbait that I don't see you mentioning that much. It freaking works for me when others don't get a look. It's the Stunna 112 +1, the "longer bill" aids in deflection and actually prevents hang ups , not just gaining a deeper presentation, it also causes the angle(sort of a nose down) of the jerkbait. All this combined seems to really provoke strikes for me over all others. JUST WANTED TO SHARE. APPRECIATE YOU GUYS! Thanks for all you do for us.
I live in North Texas and I like to switch between a weightless Texas rig senko and a weightless Texas rig trick worm. i did a lot of my damage last year in the spring with the trick worm just Texas rigged weightless. it's crazy when you think about casting it but actually does cast
Everyone fishes ned rigs on exposed hooks these days. Whatever happened to the old faithful 3” grub on an exposed hook? Can’t tell you how many bass, and big bass, I have caught on a 3” grub. Great video as usual. Great tips.
Another great video Matt. I think I have now watched too many of your videos now as I have all these lures (or a version ot them). Went out a couple times but couldn’t get the fish, which are now mostly on beds here, to hit anything so I took out my green pumpkin senko and it did the trick 😉
Have you tried the Gnius Project Blade school yet? You can use any boat to connect to it and it looks like a small school! I like using a 5-6” mag draft w it and it gets bit!!!
In regards to the pitching jigs, is 1/2oz too heavy for shallow water? Other videos on YT say 1/4oz or lighter for shallow water so I'm not totally sure.
Idk what it is but every year I seem to struggle the most in spring now I am in NJ which can make it kind of tough between the pressure & weird weather but I always seem to have trouble finding fish especially from the bank
Tried the OG Rocco and hands down, it has to be the best tight wobbling shallow crankbait by far. It hunts, starts swimming quickly, and flat out works. Even caught my first one speed cranking with it (I'm a bank angler). I've caught plenty of coldwater bass cranking slowly, but never speed cranking. Tried it a little bit and yesterday it was too fun in the 30 mph wind and rain. Burn burn pause burn burn burn pause. Burn burn, holy shit it actually worked as a bass just inhaled it right at my feet.
i hope we still have a spring season. this train wreck has already killed off a large population of the fish in our area and i dont see it getting better any time soon
Awesome video!! So I have a tournament this weekend on lake keowee this weekend in South Carolina I went to practice last weekend big spot lake,water was super clear, and water ranged from 58-65 it was a super tough bite any advice? Tried everything in boat lol
I was curious if you ever leave best spinning rods and reels for some of these powerfishing techniques. I have used spinning gear for over 40 years fishing highland reservoir areas and would have a difficult time making the transition to casting gear. I understand that some of the techniques are suboptimal for spinning gear but I love using reaction type baits and would like to see if you would have any recommendations. I tend to use the smaller versions of reaction baits (110 jr., squarebills, chatterbaits, etc). I appreciate the info as always.
I know you guy don’t really talk much a bout Googan baits but their rattling chunk / craws. but I was on the hunt for something that had the same thump that floats and now I have it Yamamoto craw is great . Thanks guys but I hat the price lol
I was shocked a spinnerbait didn’t make the cut, I’ve bought one in every color of the bling to try out this year I thank you guys for the tips and tricks……however my wallet does not 🤣
It's soooo hard to narrow it down. You know how passionate we are about a spinnerbait but we look at how many total scenarios each bait would be used in and the spinnerbait lost out.
Hey guys thank you so much for the teaching you do, we know that you must put in incredible hours helping us. Well i need help! Want to buy my first dedicated glide bait rod, want to go first class,,,,please help me,want to trust my purchase. Going to be fishing the rod alot... thanks guys : Nor Cal hogs!
I like your videos, but I no access to a boat for lakes so I river fish you never have any information on river fishing. Could ou please some river videos. Thank you
Question being - what would you suggest to replace the A-Rig. MN only allows 1 hook...the rest of the arms have to be dummies...so I don't even bother.
Shaky head has been catching me fish since November. Even when they have been busting on shad the pass two months in the shallows , I just cast in the middle of them and hop it back. I get good bites! SMH shaky head and SMH shaky head worm.
I'm not Matt, but I can tell u from my experience, that when the water temp hits upper 50s to lower 60s, a white double willow spinnerbait will be the only thing I throw..
... If you don't know how TacticalBassin posts videos and descriptions ... YOU should be ashamed! As punishment go back and like, and watch, all the past episodes. :}

Super excited about this time of year!! Already started here in Kentucky. Appreciate the video’s. Has really helped me become a more rounded angler!!
Super excited to get out this season!! Keep’em coming guys!!!! ❤❤
OG slim is my go to flat side.
This is one of the best straight direct and easy to understand love the commentary and thank you for the suggestions on the equipment best ever yet
Great choices for early spring!!
Another great video Matt, been on two trips in the last two weeks and hammered them in a farm reservoir.
Maybe the quotes should be around "5" in the title 😂 love ya Matt!
I just tied on a fire craw hammer, a white hammer, a underspin with largo shad, a finesse jig, lipless and a texas rig. My new toys should be ready to go come spring.

Dam nice bass on the Alabama rig
Thank you!
Great info!!! Could y’all tell what split rings and hook upgrades for the crank baits please? Thanks!!!!
Thank you another spectacular seminar. You touched on every presentation that I have most confidence. Wow!

I guarantee he's used every jerkbait.
5 is never 5 with Matt. Gotta love it
Lol😀
Mat not sneakin in an extra bait in a TOP 5 video... Do I need to be concerned?😂
I’m starting to believe ,Matt was a bass in a past life . Ty for the precise reasons you use certain baits .
I live in North Texas and I like to switch between a weightless Texas rig senko and a weightless Texas rig trick worm. i did a lot of my damage last year in the spring with the trick worm just Texas rigged weightless. it's crazy when you think about casting it but actually does cast

This is so helpful THANK YOU AND KEEP IT UP
Great tips as always keep it up 👍
Is a donkey rig prespawn useful? When and where to use that?
Great vids.

Hey Matt and Tim, I’ve recently added a couple Expride rods to my arsenal. Am I better off sealing that cork on those? Thanks for your time.
Magic craw is my confidence color jig in my home lake it just gets bit
Have you tried the Gnius Project Blade school yet? You can use any boat to connect to it and it looks like a small school! I like using a 5-6” mag draft w it and it gets bit!!!
What pound line do you typically use?
Caught my PB smallmouth yesterday on a fluke.
Nice; congratulations!

thanks for the video
Are there any different tactics do you use for spotted bass as compared to largemouth?
Power Fisherman 🤚🏾
New video, let's go
Awsome Vid 👍. Thanks 😁
What length Kamikaze do you use on the mini max?
Tried the OG Rocco and hands down, it has to be the best tight wobbling shallow crankbait by far. It hunts, starts swimming quickly, and flat out works.

Hey what do u guys like to throw when the fish are like cruising the bank and u can see them less than 10ft
awesome😊
Thank you! What size kamikaze do you go with on the mini max?
I know you guy don’t really talk much a bout Googan baits but their rattling chunk / craws. but I was on the hunt for something that had the same thump that floats and now I have it Yamamoto craw is great . Thanks guys but I hat the price lol
I always snag a chatterbait. If I find a piece of wood I'm going to get snagged 😅👍
What do you guys do with your soft plastics when they no longer good?

The Netbait lollipop looks a lot like a bait I've been using for a few years now. It gets bit.

Haha! Aloha Midwest!
@@toddbloxham6041 Buenos dias amigo🌅
I have tried several times now to get bit on the mini max with no luck. Not sure what I’m doing wrong!?
What trailer you throwing on it? Try a 3" pit boss
@@tims_always_fishing7117 using a 3” spunk shad white chartreuse
I'm surprised a spinnerbait didn't make the list. Any extra thoughts you can provide on those?
Have you seen this TB video from about a year ago? ua-cam.com/video/RwsMS7O0cHk/v-deo.html

No mention of a Hybrid Hunter?

Check tackle warehouse for a the “On point lures EV spinner bait” it has 4-6 unique blades
Ah hem.. depending on which guy or GAL you are 🥰

Quick question Matt;
Is it too early to throw the Spinnerbait?
I'm not Matt, but I can tell u from my experience, that when the water temp hits upper 50s to lower 60s, a white double willow spinnerbait will be the only thing I throw..
How are you liking the missile baits slunk shad over the hog farmer ?
It's literally identical but offers some great new color options 👍🏼
@@tacticalbassin I was thinking about picking some up will they work as spinnerbait trailers too I can't wait to try some
Shimano slx reel link doesn't work....just fyi

Shadow rap shad. caught. nore fish on those than any other JB. Cheap compared to some others.
