I think a lot of times it's easy to just zone out and kind of go into muscle memory mode when it comes to cranking or swimming a bait. I have gotten crushed so many more times doing a random retrieve with starts, stops, and bursts than I ever did just winding the reel handle. Really great video!
A few of my biggest fish ever came from dead sticking while picking backlashes or eating a sandwich. I really would love to get some footage of that dead sticking action sometime. I think it would be really interesting to watch.
I already do this. An extra tip with a bladed jig is when you give it the quick turn or pop the rod lower the tip for a second not only does it give it that erratic dart action it will glide for a foot or two if you just give it a little slack after the pop or reel turn. I get toms of bites right at that moment. I also do this with baits I drag on bottom. Texas rigs, jigs, neds, finesse baits whatever I drag it a few feet then I give it a little pop off the bottom just enough for it to come 6-12 inches like a fleeing craw. It truly works wonders. I wish we could post pics in these comments I'd show you guys a few catches that I've done this on just this past week. Try it out. And remember you never know how you might change someone's life. For the bass fishing life this is your commenter Ernie b fishing.
I love that underwater footage Steve. That erratic action has helped me a ton over the years especially with crankbaits. I have had a lot of success on walking topwater baits as well by either speeding them up or slowing down. Thanks again for the great content and happy Memorial day!
Steve, I especially like the tip on the way you like to fish the bladed jig by working it the way you fish a regular jig!!! I caught a 7 lb 2 oz bass when I had a small backlash and was pulling the line out for about 6 feet and reeled it back in, but before I tightened up very much, I noticed it was a little heavy. I felt of it again and it felt a little heavier so ai popped it to her!!!
If want to make a difference from other anglers, I think the golden rule is to do something even a little different. For example, I often see professionals and amateurs jerking minnows with the same rhythm, and even the rhythm of the sound of the line cutting through the water is the same. Oh yeah, how about testing how alarming the sound of line cutting through water is to fish, Steve?
Hey Steve. I was watching a video on how jerk baits for bass fishing were made in Japan. These jerk baits had metal bills. Have you seen any jerkbaits here in the USA with metal bills? This was new to me.

Man, high quality and informational video under 5 minutes with no bs. Thanks Steve! These are super helpful
Thanks for watching!
The underwater shots of the bait behavior is a great help. Thanks for all the work that you put in to get those shots.
Glad you like them!

I love fishing a bladed jig like that. It gets hung more, but I am really confident using it that way. That is a tremendous fish you caught! Congrats!

That is an excellent idea! I will try to figure out a way to do something on that one. Thank you!
@@SteveRogersOutdoors you're welcome. Thank you very much for your interesting video content.
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome!
Your smart 👌 👏
I will also impart rod sweeps to for a quick speed burst. Also a complete stop/kill from time to time.
That is great! Thanks for adding this.
Hey, Steve, great to see ya. Be safe
Thanks Shannon! You too and I hope you have a blessed day.
Fantastic info! Thanks Steve!
Thanks so much!
Great job. Thanks and keep them coming 😊
Thank you! Will do!
Hey Steve that's great advice thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Hey Steve. I was watching a video on how jerk baits for bass fishing were made in Japan. These jerk baits had metal bills. Have you seen any jerkbaits here in the USA with metal bills?

Thank you Steve God Bless you brother.
Thanks!
🙌🏽 what’s up Steve!
Just came off a whopper plopped bite where I was using it like a popper... they were killing it on the pause... 😊.these tips work, thank you
That had to be a blast!
Today was a tough day for me
Had nothing,
I’ll try these retrievals out in the evening
Good luck out there today!
This technique really works wonders .... I barely ever just "chunk and wind"
It has really accounted for a lot of extra bites over the years.
What about paddle tail swimbait?
Rig open hook on a free rig...it works and paddle tail best at times...

I haven't seen those. I will have to look them up. Very interesting. Thanks!
