I just caught my new pb ten minutes ago using the Tennessee two step!... I used the rage bug with the tips high lighted with a chartreuse marker on a swim jig... I’m sitting in my truck still in disbelief lol
Hank, I just love your Visual How to videos and the On the Water Demonstrations and Showing How to Rig'em !!! Thank you so much !!! CATCH MORE FISH !!!
Watched the video before fishing this morning, caught my first one on a swim jig on my first cast using the “pop pop” method. Love the video straight to the point and the methods in the video actually work!
My three favorite swimjigs are the booyah mobster,missile mini swim jig and the mouse head one by thunder hawk. All three have some of the best jighead designs if you ask me. The runner up would be the dirty jigs ones
I sure do like a swim jig. I probably have more of them than I do any other type of jig...combined. I have all sorts - black/blue ones, natural ones, white ones; but I think my new favorite is the hot pink/bubblegum one I just recently acquired. It'll burn your eyes out to look at it, but man does it catch fish! I have no idea why, lol.
Dude thank you so much You have no idea how hard it is to get information like this from people lol. Seriously thank you I always get information about what bait to use but they never tell you how to use it really to actually catch a damn fish!!!
@@BassGeek I subscribed brother I'll be watching from now on!! Thank you very much. Me and my fiance just got into the fishing a couple months ago. I've only caught one bass. What the hell am I doing wrong lol I honestly don't know the best time to go to the pond I feel like every time I get there the fish are already full they've been eating all day or something lol
Love this channel. Y’all need to go watch the longer videos he has. Such a great dude at breaking things down and cramming you full of info. Keep up the great work brother 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Not gonna lie if I had to get rid of every lure I owned and start over id probably just fill up boxes with different jigs in different colors and have a bag of trailers to go with them. Jigs are my absolute favorite lure to use
This was great and I didn't have to watch 2 ads and a 15 minute video..I was wondering what all 3 of those ment and u answered it in under 60 seconds..liked and subbed easy.
I have never had any success with jigs before then I used this when I could not catch anything but dinks. Then I tried this and I ended up catching two 6.5s and a 7 in a few hours. This is defiantly now going to be my go to post spawn/ late summer methods now.
The Tennessee two step I love two 3lb bass and swimming a kietech one 3.5 lb with the trashmaster god I love this jig got black and blue green pumpkin and watermelon red.
Is that the okuma helios sx reel? I just got 1 like a month ago . Such a smooth and well made reel. I got it on sale for 160 after tax and shipping. I honestly love it. It's so smooth when you are retrieving your lure it almost feel like there isn't anything there like your just spinning the handle without line . Then it's a really good looking real . Has alot of lil features I haven't really seen in any other reels . The free spool is pretty sweet lol
Yep, I’m a big fan of the the swimjig! I fish em year round! That said, I only use swimbait trailer’s. D Walker 120 Keiteck Fat 3.3, 3.8 Largo Shad 3.5 Good stuff 🎣
What size swim jigs you got there sir? Those look like they would work perfect in some of the grassy ponds I fish.. need something smaller and those looked really nice.
turns out the retrieve that caught me 5 fish today has a name. lol I was doing the "tennessee two step" as you call it. I had a strike king swimmer on mine and it worked well
I’ve been killing them for 2 weeks n the white , but I’m using a small 1/8 oz swim jig chartreuse mister twister on it and also getting slab crappie , twice the fun fishing bfs 8 lb braid, 12 lb leader landed more than a few 5 pound bass this way
@@BassGeek mostly grass and rocks. Even in wood I love throwing a bladed jig, but if the bite is slow I’ll throw a swimbait or swim jig. Typically the bite being slow isn’t an issue when I’m throwing a chatter
Yeah It's really hard to beat a chatter in the grass. Like I said though you get that wood you can get down in it with a swimjig. Use it just to probe that and go back to that chatter in the grass
Heard the Alabama shake is mostly only good for mimicking fish that have an unstable type of swimming like a shad compared to the more stable swimming of fish like bluegill. Can anyone attest to that
I’ve caught them doing it on bluegill patterns and shad patterns. So I don’t know. I think it’s just a movement that makes the bass react just like shacking a minnow bait.
Hank, why are they not getting my swim jig? I'm getting a ton of bites but they ain't getting it good, I don't know why I'm missing so many... Any tips
Try these, trim your weed guard down were it will just go past the barb when you push it to the hook. Spread the weed guard out side to side Use a smaller trailer.
I caught my new pb on a shad bait technically it isn’t my pb because it got off as I was taking it out of the water but is my pb for what I haven’t held but was a couple seconds away from
Probably won’t get a reply as this is a year ago, but do these retrieves work the same way with jig-swim bait hybrids like the dark sleepers or structure gills?
I just caught my new pb ten minutes ago using the Tennessee two step!...

Nice!!!!Were you fishing a pond?? A lake?? From the bank or boat???
This was one of the best shorts on how to run a swim jig. No extras. No bull shit filler...just pure information. Thank you sir.
Thank you that’s how the channel is run long or short
Love the quickies, Big Guy! Fast and Fun!
Thanks they are fun
Hank, I just love your Visual How to videos and the On the Water Demonstrations and Showing How to Rig'em !!! Thank you so much !!! CATCH MORE FISH !!!
Thank you sir I try my best. I'm still working to get better at fishing and video making.

Heck YEAH! Thank you for letting me know this! It why I don it!
Now THIS is a great short!!!! Thanks for the awesome info! Retrieves have always been the toughest part of fishing for me to figure out
I try to get out and do it
Haha love the delivery on this, informative and entertaining🙂
Thank you kindly.
I always keep a jig on year round..
I do all kinds of different moves with mine.., The C Walk and all.
Nice!

I like'em! Nice picks.
I love swim jigs! My favorite is a half ounce 6th sense divine swim jig with a white rage swim bait.
Good jig
Thank you for talking about the retrieve it seems like so many channels breeze past this without showing what they mean in the video
We try to put it all together from A to Z so to help people get started.
Finally someone who actually explains to where I understand how to work these jigs.
Hahaha thanks

That pink works this time of year
I really appreciate ya bro. Thank you so much for the tips that get me on the bass.
Thank you for watching and supporting the channel.
Thank you man youre truly appreciated!
Thank you sir. YOU are truly appreciated.
Nice-I like the ole Float like a Butterfly retrieve. Using the syllables
hahahah that's a good one.
Dude thank you so much You have no idea how hard it is to get information like this from people lol. Seriously thank you I always get information about what bait to use but they never tell you how to use it really to actually catch a damn fish!!!

Heck yeah! Noice!
I do the tennessee two step lmao didn't know it had a name.tennessee is where I learned it too 😂 that's awesome
Hahahabyup sure does
I caught a 1.44lb crappie on a 3/8th Oz googan grass hero bluegill color
Heck yeah that’s nice
What about the picking out a backlash with a fast hard raise to get the lure off the bottom
I sure can do that.
Dude you have helped me so much thank you bro
Thank you.

What’s up Bass Geek!!!
What’s up Bri
Bro that is
Good info but are we naming every single lure retrieve now? Just wondering
Hahahaha just the ones I know have names
As always, great stuff!
Thanks
I get so paranoid thinking about how my bait looks to the fish while im reeling it in. Thank you 🙏🏽
You are welcome.
Blue gill and rage bug is deadly up north here
Awesome
Not gonna lie if I had to get rid of every lure I owned and start over id probably just fill up boxes with different jigs in different colors and have a bag of trailers to go with them. Jigs are my absolute favorite lure to use
I love it.
@@BassGeek it's so versatile you can drag it along the bottom you can swim it I've one time used a mini jig and cranked it top water by reeling faster
Love to see the videos on the water
Thanks I hope to do more.
Don’t forget to dip them in Sartreuce!
Hahahaha low blow

Out of all the bassgeeks you're the best! 😠🤨🤣👍
I don’t know you are a dang good one!
Tried the 2 step the other day after watching your video . It worked , got a bass !!
Heck yeah!
That two step is a smallie slayer on craws ❤

My kind of video. Right to the point ✊🤙
Thanks
You are TRD! KEEP IT GOING!

What size swim jigs you got there sir? Those look like they would work perfect in some of the grassy ponds I fish.. need something smaller and those looked really nice.
It just depends on how deep i'm fishing. 1/4,3/8,1/2 are the go to's.
@@BassGeek thanks for the info. I think 1/4 is best for me
more vids please !!!
Oh you should visit the channel page. I have hundreds.
My fav is mid day reluctant walleyes dragging goby plastics lol you could call it the Denver dummy drag
Lol that's a good one.
@@BassGeek sometimes you gotta just drag er lol especially on blue bird days in the summer
Hopefully I can finally catch one on the jig
I hope so good luck!
turns out the retrieve that caught me 5 fish today has a name. lol I was doing the "tennessee two step" as you call it. I had a strike king swimmer on mine and it worked well

"Open the noor"
Hey
I prefer the Mississippi Mountain Dew Mayhem retrieve with my swim jigs.
Hahaha 😝
Finally a real looking guy! Great beard too!
Hahaha it’s a in trimmed mess right now! I am real however or this is just the matrix?
Gold and black rapala catches more fish than my jig
Awesome.
Wow, remember when you used to put a worm on the hook with a bobber?
Yeah and sit with a six pack of PBR on the bank board as hell not catching anything. It’s much better now! 😂
That's my jam
Oh yeah
This is your best video I've ever seen. I'll give you a sub
Heck yeah thanks
Yeah that sartruse is a great color!
Hahahah yup
This 💯! 👍🎣🏆
Thank you.
This dude is awesome
Thanks you very much!
I’ve been catching bass with just a worm and a simple split shot weight for over 15 years
That's awesome.
Ik it’s spring time but I had a rooster tail on the other day and caught 12 pretty good sized bass !
Heck yeah nice!
Where can i get this sar-treuse, big guy??? 😂
Hahahahaha hey now!
Pop pop
Pop pop baby! LOL
Could you put a trailer on a buck tail would it fish like a swim jig?
Yes
I struggle to throw a swimjig I just like a chatter so much more in areas I’d use one
I'm assuming your fishing a lot of area's with grass? I would agree but if you have wood mixed in you sour for sure add that swimjig into play.
@@BassGeek mostly grass and rocks. Even in wood I love throwing a bladed jig, but if the bite is slow I’ll throw a swimbait or swim jig. Typically the bite being slow isn’t an issue when I’m throwing a chatter
Yeah It's really hard to beat a chatter in the grass. Like I said though you get that wood you can get down in it with a swimjig. Use it just to probe that and go back to that chatter in the grass
“Tennessee two step”
Texas: *am I a joke to you?*
Hahahaha
Don’t mess with tx
Just wondering where did you get the swim jig from
I think those are Cumberland tackle swimjigs.
@@BassGeek Thank you
Amazing ❤
Thanks

Nice you’ll land him next time
@@BassGeek hopefully
@@BassGeek sorry if my comment was hard to understand
I’m a chatterbait kinda guy! Should I try swim jigs next time I’m out?
Let the bass tell ya. The swim jig would be a very complimentary rig to gain confidence in
When is the post spawn?
Once the bass have moved off the beds.
@@BassGeek what's a bed
Saaaaartrooose!! 😂
Yup that's it.
When is post spaw
Some call it anytime after the spawn but I call it just after the spawn. Just about a month at best
@@BassGeek what month is that ? And what part of us
I like to fish a menace craw on sideways I've just found better results like that
I do that alot on buzzbaits and spinnerbaits.
What would you recommend for pre spawn? May/June?
Pre spawn I love to fish swimbaits, jerkbaits, senkos, ned rigs and crank baits, As far as swim jigs its gonna be a white shad pattern.
@@BassGeek thank you!
Trashmaster for this great FYI
Yes it is!
What jigs are those?
Strike king and Cumberland pro.
@@BassGeek Thanks
Get the paddle tail on there brother
Yeah a Keitech like I said. It's great.
Sartruse?
Yeah yeller
Let's actually not. I'm a hunter. Don't fish much. Not sure why i keep getting fishing videos. Lol
Maybe because should fish more
Texas two step
lol yup that works.
If anyone needs translation , let me know. I speak fluent Appalachian American.
I'd have to hear you say the word Appalachian before I trust ya.
@@BassGeek I cain’t say it cause I’m hillbilly, that big words fer the yankees Incase their government lets them fish up north.
A minnow what??
You must have one of those weird accents?
@@BassGeek I’m from Texas lol. A minnow what? What did you say? I genuinely didn’t hear you. Maybe clarify ?
@@lokolop1 minna crawl. You can figure it out from there. 😆
Every fishing video could be this. Guys love to jabber on and on about everything under the sun but the actual info
