Swingheads have become one of my favorite bottom lure techniques. I like using the big keitech curly tail worm and dragging on the edge of rip rap where the rock transitions to a softer bottom
Hi Randy just want to thank you for all theses bass fishing tips! It has really helped me out . I’m in a small fishing tournament I came in first place today. Five more to go. Thank you very much 👍
Nice tips. Are you going to do one on the Tokyo rig? I fish both rigs quite a bit. I would like to know when you would choose one over the other. Thanks Randy great stuff as always.
Shakey heads have become my confidence bait the last few years. With the rage craw trailer. They work well in the clear spring fed southern Missouri rivers where I love to fish from my kayak. Thanks for all the tips Randy, much appreciated!
Great tips Randy. My wife and I have tried fishing them and we were doing it all wrong. Can't wait for the weather to clear and try them now. Thanks again!
Another great presentation! Just bought a supply of swing heads last season but due to Covid didn't get out enough, and never tried them. Need to locate more hard bottom, gravel and rock bottom areas, where I know this rig does best. I never thought to use around bedding time but makes perfect sense - its an area that by def. fits that hard bottom requirement, at least until a bit later when the weed takes over, in out northeast lakes!
Can you do a video explaining crankbait colors for specific water clarity, I'm newer to cranking and it would be a huge help if you could make a video on that, keep it up I love the vids, tight lines
@@alexw.outdoors4269 not just yet. I’ll probably still be beating the banks most of this season. The wife ok’d a bass boat after we buy a house which is coming soon. Even then, I feel I’ll need some more experience on a boat before I go for any tournaments.
I’m hesitant to give up the juice but since Randy always does I’ll let this one go. 3.5” Berkley PowerBait tube in goby magic t-rigged with 1/2-3/4oz swing head for smallies in the great lakes.
Randy, I love the swing head and use it more than I probably should for most fishing situations. Can you tell me why I should use a Texas rig set-up vs. swing head? I ask because I rarely use the Texas rig any more.
Thank you so much for the great tip. My son throws these. I'm going to get some and use these tips. Glad it is starting to warm up. Lake by my house is frozen solid still. I think it's going to take a bit to melt over 6inches of ice is what I broke at the dock yesterday
Hi Randy Love the channel, One of the best here on YT. I wanted your thoughts on a Tungsten swing head jig. I have seen others saying tungsten telegraphs what the type of bottom is better than a lead head.
I don't think I've used my swing heads still in the package gonna change that ASAP ! Baby brush hog is a awesome bait my go to always early fish catcher !
Caught more 2.5 lb bass this spring than ever using the swing head with a zoom lizard so easy to use drag on bottom bounce off rocks get bit easy peasy
Yes. I do it down here in Florida which we all know has as much or more grass than anywhere. You want to get the Strike King swing head that has a more angular head. I put it in places I cant throw a crankbait. Its become my weeedless crankbait. Rip it through....kind of like you would with a chatterbait.
I wonder how the Z Hog would be on the swing head? I like to use the googan bandito bug and the z Craw. Haven’t tried much else since I get bit on those two just fine.
It seems to me, that the swinging would give the fish more leverage to spit it, than a regular head. Also it's just another place to get hung up, and maybe you could explain the advantages of the swing head over a regular head, as I dont see any! Thanks!
Randy I don’t know if you are religious or what but I just want you to look into the story of Jesus Christ you’ve been on my heart and been wondering about you if you are not a believer just take it from me I know Jesus personally he has changed my life he can change yours the Bible is the most clearest and understanding book once you start to read it and it all molds together and makes sense once you get into it and the Holy Spirit will help you understand he will lead you to the way of the everlasting I’m praying for you Randy I don’t know what you believe in or if you believe in anything I just want you to know that Jesus loves you and he died for you on a cross for your sins he sacrificed so much for us he loves you so much and if you don’t know him today and he sure does want to know you he loves you so much I’m just sitting here thinking about it all you have to do is put your faith and trust in him and ask him to forgive your sins and he will put a spirit in you and fill a hole inside of you that you can’t fill with anything else and he will make you see things clearer than ever before and he will teach you and guide you Just as he has done for me there’s no question that I know that he lives there is hundreds of different times he has spoke to my heart. I can’t judge you I simply don’t know your life will your religion or anything but I just feel drawled today to tell you what I have told you if you decide to make this decision just follow him he will show you the Way and if you need to talk to me I will always be here and you can respond back to me through this. Randy Jesus loves you and your entire family he truly does. God truly Bless🙂
Hey Randy I’m wanting to place a fairly good size order on tackle warehouse I would really like for you to get a portion of the proceeds since you’re the one that Has turned me onto these new Lures and modifications so I feel like you should get something out of it what do I use of yours on tackle warehouse to get 10% and you to get something out of it
I know you rough up your plastics to break salt up and look more natural but what is your view on L-Sirins in your hands on hot sweaty day. Is this a old myth?
Your numbers are growing .. Dont top out .. some words of the wise to the wise .. tactical bassing is fast losing their swag . They forgot and ditched their home Grown roots that made them so popular - instead they chose to go commercial - more or less advertising.. their nothing more then a talking billboard now .. My point ... take the lions share .. it’s open .. ppl like you and watch you due to your age - experience- knowledge.. your what tactical bassing used to be . Only don’t top out .. Make a pre set intro attached to all your upcoming videos . Who you are & what your bringing.. chose a better back ground to tape from .. ( professional eye candy ) ppl would also enjoy video boat time with you . I’m telling ya randy .. tactical bassing lost their mojo .. take that big piece of the pie .. you’ve the age - knowledge - experience- your verbally & socially skilled ... Open up your videos .. add the few artistic touches your missing & WOW watch your numbers go through the roof P.s ... anglers hate that new buddy mic 🎤 talk ppl are doing .. so glad your not doing that .
@@randyblaukatintuitive I will say I can't speak for others but I much appreciate the straight to the point info without the bells and whistles and intros and all the fancy stuff. I understand you have to sell yourself for sponsors or what not, but I like simple and straight forward
I love these how to videos you've been putting out. They have been very informative and to the point without all the BS. Keep it up.
Right here - what he said
The zoom speed craw, my GO TO for EVERYTHING!
Swingheads have become one of my favorite bottom lure techniques. I like using the big keitech curly tail worm and dragging on the edge of rip rap where the rock transitions to a softer bottom
You’re doing a great job on all your videos. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to watching the next. 🎣👍

Bucket list - have a beer with Randy
I was about to comment about not roughing up the plastic. Thanks you all of your helpful tips!
Nice tips. Are you going to do one on the Tokyo rig? I fish both rigs quite a bit. I would like to know when you would choose one over the other. Thanks Randy great stuff as always.
Rage menace has been my goto but will try the zoom baits you've discussed. Thnx!
Rage menace rules!
I've been watching the crap out of your videos and I've noticed a difference in the amount of fish I've been catching. Thanks for the videos!
Shakey heads have become my confidence bait the last few years. With the rage craw trailer. They work well in the clear spring fed southern Missouri rivers where I love to fish from my kayak. Thanks for all the tips Randy, much appreciated!
Congrats on 18,000k subscribers randy! And thanks for the tips and tricks.
Right here - what he said
Thx!
I never fished much swing jig head style but never really tried cranking em neither , that’s got to be the best way to fish em , thanks for the info
Just picked a couple swing heads and I’m totally “hooked”! They just work!
Another 🔥🔥 tip. These are gold. I used to live in Springfield. Wish I was still there and could hit the water with you.
Great vid Randy just caught some nice ones on the swing head with a 8 inch zooms lizard love swing head fishing thanks Randy love your vids...
YES, I randomly grabbed some today and of course you got this vid up a couple days ago. always bringing the goods. thanks so much brother!
also, nice new lighting !
Awesome video. Thank you.
the spark shad is a good choice also I destroy them on the susquehanna for smallmouth on that rig.
Great tips Randy. My wife and I have tried fishing them and we were doing it all wrong. Can't wait for the weather to clear and try them now. Thanks again!
Swinghead jigs are killer baits particularly on highland reservoirs. They love it on Lake Cumberland
Another great presentation! Just bought a supply of swing heads last season but due to Covid didn't get out enough, and never tried them.

Man I swear you read my mind. I was hoping you would do one on these.
Solid tips...Appreciate your videos.
Great tips
Love swing-heads. Caught my PB on one. Once again, great video!
Can you do a video explaining crankbait colors for specific water clarity, I'm newer to cranking and it would be a huge help if you could make a video on that, keep it up I love the vids, tight lines
That's one bait I have not fished. Thanks for the video I will give them a try.
One of my favorite baits is brush hogs thanks for the new way to use it
Z Craw is a great bait. Never tried it on a swim head. Gonna give it a try. Great video
Thanks watch alot of your videos. Really helpful. Thanks.....
Keep up the great content!
nice vid randy! I also like SK ragebug and RE sweet beaver and manbearpig. The wobble head is my new fav nite time bait. Shhhhhhh🙂
Awesome, as usual. Thanks Randy
Great Tip, just started using them. Thanks Randy !
I’m going to be using these for the first time here in WV this year.
hey another weevee. I use these for everything from creature baits to senkos. charleston
@@alexw.outdoors4269 I’m on an ambulance in Montgomery. I’m hoping to start hitting the Kanawha when I get off work when this cold spell breaks.
@@scottybasham1020 nice! I have a feud with the Kanawha cause I cant catch fish lol. you going to fish any state bass tourneys?
@@alexw.outdoors4269 not just yet. I’ll probably still be beating the banks most of this season. The wife ok’d a bass boat after we buy a house which is coming soon. Even then, I feel I’ll need some more experience on a boat before I go for any tournaments.
Good info and video examples
Just the simple tip of rubbing up the plastics is huge especially to those of us don’t have a lot of imagination of modification. Thanks
Wow! Nice explanation!
Thanks for the info Randy!

Where is your glasses Randy, you know us older folks have to have them to rig baits! Lol

Really enjoy your videos. I put a skirt on my wobble heads.
Me too...now pipe down man! Lol
Hi Randy Love the channel, One of the best here on YT. I wanted your thoughts on a Tungsten swing head jig. I have seen others saying tungsten telegraphs what the type of bottom is better than a lead head.
I like the Al Gore bait on a swinghead.
I don't think I've used my swing heads still in the package gonna change that ASAP ! Baby brush hog is a awesome bait my go to always early fish catcher !
Hi Randy - keep up the good work, I'm learning lots from your channel.
What's your opinion on using Swingheads with Screwlock hooks?
Caught more 2.5 lb bass this spring than ever using the swing head with a zoom lizard so easy to use drag on bottom bounce off rocks get bit easy peasy
I probably missed it, but what size hooks are those? 2. 3. 4? Thanks.
I love fishing them with a Carolina rig weight to keep it down .
Randy! Would you use this method for smallmouth? Could you share your top technique for SM?
Kinda off topic but since your a megabass pro, I gotta ask. When and where would you throw a Megabass Gong?
Have you ever caught a fish on it?
I luv fishing rubber. Thanks
Works well with zoom lizards and a large fluke also.... ;)
Thank you for another great video. Would you throw the swinghead when the lake has a lot of grass on the bottom?
Yes. I do it down here in Florida which we all know has as much or more grass than anywhere. You want to get the Strike King swing head that has a more angular head. I put it in places I cant throw a crankbait. Its become my weeedless crankbait. Rip it through....kind of like you would with a chatterbait.
Caught my first big bass at Lake Powell on a swing head jig
Does the swing head/football type head hang less and work better in rocky areas than other shape heads ?
What are your thoughts on switching to the tungsten 11/16 so that the head size is smaller?
yeah i might make a 1oz tungsten jig. Much smaller for the weight and allows me to fish 30ft water
That would probably be a good idea
I wonder how the Z Hog would be on the swing head? I like to use the googan bandito bug and the z Craw. Haven’t tried much else since I get bit on those two just fine.
Randy, would you say swing head fishing is limited to football heads or can ball heads that pivot also work for finesse applications?
I hope not if the wind blows hard and we get some rain but the lake is also down 8’ so be careful backing down ramp so trailer doesn’t drop off
Netbait paca slims!
Do you ever use the swing head as a follow up lure after you have run a school or can't get them to bite a crankbait?
Whenever I fish creature baits or worms it’s on a shakey or bullet or weightless style
Please do a show on the bearings your putting in your reels?
It seems to me, that the swinging would give the fish more leverage to spit it, than a regular head. Also it's just another place to get hung up, and maybe you could explain the advantages of the swing head over a regular head, as I dont see any!
Thanks!
It's the action it imparts.it gives your bait a hunting motion.
Do you modify your baby brush hog on a swing head the same way you do the regular brush hog?
Randy, Do you point your rod tip straight at the bait or at slight angle while reeling it in? Thanks!
A slight angle to the side would definitely give you a better feel of the bait, especially in windier conditions. Hope this was helpful!
very cool!!
How do you think a 10" worm would work?
I would give anything to be a pro bass fisherman
🤫
Come on any good for walleye
Man Randy you giving up all the juice 😅
Thanks ! Deadly with a biffle bug

You need to check out Menace Baits.com, they make the best swing head jig with great skirts and colors. If you do tell them Jay Crocker referred you.
I know you rough up your plastics to break salt up and look more natural but what is your view on L-Sirins in your hands on hot sweaty day. Is this a old myth?
You didn’t rough up the plastic 😁
Does the best on high salt baits
Toyota tournament may not go on LOZ looking out at ice still and crane eating dead shad like popcorn 🍿
We have about a week and a half before the tournament starts do you think it will still be froze over then?
Sorta hate you told this one.. 😁
Have you ever put a rattle on a swing head jig.
