    I'm sure a ton of your customers know this stuff, but for a new bass fisherman, I can't get enough of your videos and how educational they are. And yes, I'm one of those customers that was asking about hook size when I purchased my first set of Hazedong swim baits! You are helping me build a solid tacklebox...do we still call them that :)

    Thanks for the video Ben/Geoff. I use the spark shad on a jig head with success and four eyes. lol Best line in the video...'it can't be real, it has four eyes' 😂 I agree with Geoff. Extra eyes mean more bites, possibly two or more bait fish. Love Megabass plastics. ✌🏻🎣

    My go to Bait has been a 3 inch spark shad on a dropshot or a 3/8oz guppy head with a spark or hazedong. Awesome rig for deep fish in that 30+ft range, I've caught so many giant smallmouth on that guppy head with a a spark shad on a flyssa its insane.

    For some reason when I use a flashy swimmer I get a lot of strikes on the blade itself so, if I can- I often swap it out for a Cool Baits Down Under Spin- I use the bluegill madness 3/16ths head and a hazedong in the green pumpkin/chartreus laminate color- can't remember the name of it- looks just like sungill from Keitech. Spotted bass absolutely destroy it- they can't get enough of it. Some times I swim it normally- sometimes I swim it super slow so the blade just drags on the rocks along bottom instead of spinning- it's super effective around spotted bass or smallies. That said- buy a bunch cause they're not weedless at all- and they get stuck in the cracks in the rocks- you lose a lot of them but, man it catches them- it's worth it to me.

    The 5” spark shad with the beast hook does a jerk bait type action if you pop the rod tip up a couple times on the retrieve. Just a observation.

My buddy turned me on to the 6th Sense hook . It seems to be a hybrid between a si Pro V and a old school O'Shaughnessy bend . This hook is the deal !!!

    I’ve been using lindy rig weights on my weedless swimbait riggging for years now and what it does for casting distance is amazing(acts as a weight transfer). The advent of free rig weights gives me more options now and you can use a peg to keep it from sliding to far back into the bait. When you kill it it will spiral nose down too! 16th oz on a 3 inch spark Shad with a weedless hook is a killer! Give it a try and you won’t be disappointed!
