The Simple Lure that Catches Everything - Soft Plastics Fishing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 тра 2024
- A jighead and soft plastic swimbait or curly-tail grub is a simple but effective lure to catch all kinds of fish in freshwater and saltwater. Plastic swimbaits come with paddle tails, straight tails, and other variations that all have their applications to catch a lot of fish. Beginners to fishing can use these lures effectively with a simple retrieve, or advanced anglers can modify the rig or adjust the retrieve to catch finicky fish when they hesitate to bite anything else.

A highly informative fishing video that runs less than two minutes?!
You, sir, may have just broken the internets.
Best fishing channel on UA-cam.
Eeeeeasily.....
Thanks. Yes, I like to keep things short and sweet.
Every year as I wait for the MN bass/pike/walleye opener, I’m reminded how fun and simple a Beetlespin is as I can only target panfish. And the price is right too!
Beetlespins are awesome
You bet - beetlespins are cool and inexpensive.
I love Beetlespin. I got the white one and green.
Oh believe me, these are nearly always my first choice when fishing, well over hard baits. Multiple sizes, colors and finishes. I love these things!
They feel a lot more natural to a fish than a hard bait too, so they'll often give you more time to set the hook. Great for both beginners and experienced anglers.
I've caught so many fish on this type of lure. I never go to a lake without it.
Agreed!
Nat, I caught some fish this weekend! A nice large mouth bass, bunch of perch and a blue catfish. I appreciate your videos, they really helped me!
That's awesome - good work! Thanks for the feedback.
Maaaan, your explanation of how to rig up a jig and soft plastic was…. 👌
I was a little too embarrassed to ask my fishing friends how to set it up properly and couldn’t find a video that explained it half as good as you did.
Thank you, sir.
Glad I could help!
Beetle spins catch everything! Some good information! Enjoyed the video and appreciate you taking the time to share this.
They sure do - thanks for the comment
One of my favorites of all time
It's hard to go wrong with one of those
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL MAN!!
i'm a Pacific Islander who moved to the states bout 5 yrs ago. i recently got back in touch with my roots and started fishing again but freshwater fishing was just so much different from the old school fishing my people know of and practice. your videos have helped me a lot, my 1st catch was a smallmouth which was bout 2 weeks ago! :)
Awesome - thanks for sharing your story and congrats on the smallie!
Thanks Nat,. As usual brief and to the point. I needed a reminder on this lure.
I appreciate the comment - thanks
got more into fishing recently and these lures have been my absolute go to. 1/16 oz jigheads with 1 inch gulp minnows for panfish, and 4/0 weighted weedless, and the normal top style hooks with assorted keitech 4in shiners. caught my pb bass and my first pickerel on the 4inch ones. so easy to set up and swap colors and not the end of the world if you lose it, not that they are easy to snag. I kayak fish so getting in the weeds is pretty common. I cant recommend the little split tail smelt minnows enough if you are catching fish to eat, was hooking bluegill on every cast with them where my dad with worms had to replace his bait every catch.
A small jighead with a 1-inch gulp is amazing for big bluegills/crappie/perch/rock bass. Non-stop action if you get into a good school of them.
These types bait are the first lures I cast anywhere in freshwater. They may differ in size and weight, but they have always worked and many times they are the best producing lures on the water for me. I say start small and increase as you learn that body of water...
I agree. Starting small is always a good plan as you figure out that body of water.
Great advice.
Thanks
Nice vid Nat! I was having a really good day with salmon last summer, and I decided to test some things out. I switched to a yellowy lime green curly-tail I think my dad used to use for walleye. I was fishing it in a river, twitching jig style. Then a coho smoked it, but soon bent the hook and swam off. Really does catch, or almost everything haha
Good to know! I haven't tried one for salmon yet but I just might do that this fall!
I remember as kid fishing with a Neon Yellow Jig & Head, I caught so many panfish then. I still fish the JIG, even with live bait attached. I just had trouble getting my jig to look just right moving through the water, I think it was because I hooked it up wrong.
Yeah you do have to rig the plastic correctly or it can mess up the action and appearance of the bait
going out to an exciting pond today. I'll pick a couple of these up and give them a shot
Cool - let us know what you caught!
I was at Academy Sports yesterday and saw that a new brand had recreated the Little George tail spin lures. My brother and I used to slay bass and bluegill on those!
Those are neat little lures!
Me and some friends went fishing the other day. They were using spinners, crack baits, whopper ploppers and a whole assortment of lures. I went with a simple 20 cent white grub worm with a hand painted pink 1/8oz jig head. For the entire time (except for the first 20 mins before i lost a tube/jig setup to a snag)
While i only caught two chain pickerel on the whole 5 hour outing, i was still the only one to catch any fish at all. Towards the end of the trip, they were trying to match what i was using with their own gear and stubbornly choosing to not borrow the extras i had offered. 😂
Proof that the fanciest equipment is not always the best! Sometimes you just need to keep it simple.
One of my favorites for walleye
Absolutely
This and a NED Rig are my go tos.
Both are great performers.
Very nostalgic lures
And very effective
I really enjoy using lures like that but my favorite is roster tail I have caught a Bass with it only once two thumbs up 👍👍
Rooster tails are some of my favorite lures of all time.
This is also my most used lure for every species except salmon. Maybe I should try it for salmon!
I've never tried one for salmon but I would bet they would hit it. I typically chase salmon with spoons and crankbaits.
@@FishingwithNat yeah me too. I’ll at least try this year and let you know!
This was my first artificial lure and got me into bass fishing
It's a great lure to start out with but it can also hold its own against much fancier, more expensive lures.
Hi, I'm a newbie to fishing. I live in upper midwest like you do and enjoy your videos. The assortment of jigs I have had handed down to me have a very small hole which doesn't seem to easily accept snaps or snap-swivels. Is it a must to tie line directly to jig?
No, you can use jigs with snaps. I wouldn't recommend snap swivels with jigs because they really change the appearance of the jig and your jig shouldn't be spinning anyway (so no need for a swivel). Is the small hole the entire size of the metal loop/eye, or is it just a small hole in the paint that could be enlarged more?
@@FishingwithNat The jigs I have are similar to what you show @00:34 of this video. The problem may be my snaps are too large in diameter in terms of the wire gauge. I'm a little confused on what snap sizes are best.
how did you add the spoon/spinner to the swimbait setup?
You can buy aftermarket blades and frames to add to jigs. These are the ones I like: amzn.to/4b9arsE
^^ The most usefull animation here: 0:19
It's a very effective technique
What kind of knot do I use for these? Do I need a weight? I'm a beginner!
You generally don't need a weight with these because the jighead provides plenty of weight by itself. You would only add weight if you want to fish really deep but keep a fairly small profile to the bait itself. The knot you tie is more influenced by the type of line you're using. You can tie anything for a jighead and swimbait. Check out this quick video about the types of knots and when to use them ua-cam.com/video/rdx_9P7a3N0/v-deo.html
how do you work them bc where i’m from nothing will touch it
Straight retrieve, bottom bouncing, up-and-down motion with the rod tip while retrieving...I tend to move the bait slower when the water is colder or if the fish are hesitant to bite.
I'm sick of loosing 25eur japanese wobblers in the snaggy rivers. silicon, as cheap as it is, however, is boring AF.
Fancier lures can be more fun to use and watch, for sure. But it stings when you lose one and they often perform just the same as a simple jig and plastic.
