I want to buy a shirt however I would like a sizing chart. I'm between a small and a medium. Some places I buy Small is too tight or too big. I'm 5'7", 130 lbs.
Tyler, I have had great success using a belly-weighted hook with swim baits, but no one seems to talk too much about it. Hands down, it is one of the best set-ups for pulling through any kind of cover and for catching fish. Love to hear your take on it.
You are right, for getting through cover that is truly the best way. I have used a belly weight for swimbaits like a Shadilicious and one of my favorites is a BIG EZ from Gambler, definitely future videos I have in mine
Rage swimmers in white with a weighted hook all day in the summer is what I catch most of my bass on that and a pumpkin seed crazy crawl with this red sparkle in it on a Texas rig I always liked rubbers tubes which I think are a little under rated I try to keep it simple bank fishing unless I'm in a boat which ain't too often then I'll go to spinner l,chatter and Crank bait's
Speaking of jig heads, one you didn't mention (for a Keitech) is a screwlock rigged weedless. That can be a nice rigging to really throw up in the middle of heavy grass and pads.
I’ve fished “swim baits” my whole life. Here in south MS we have tidal marsh with brackish water. During the fall and winter we’re able to catch redfish,speckled trout, and bass all on the same lure. A lot of my bass swim baits are saltwater lures. Thank you for your videos and the great content.
I love fishing tiny swimbaits 2 to 3 in catches a lot of different variety of fish and big bass still love them caught a 6 lb 9 oz just a few weeks ago but it's a good numbers bait also
Recently I started tying my jig head lures with a loop knot. I notice it gives more action to the lure and the fish seem to notice also because I catch more fish than before with a cinch knot.
I agree with a lot of what you said, but that Matt Allen swimbait head you tried the little Keitech on is meant for 4.8" and larger swimbaits, the Tacticalbassin finesse swimbait head has a much lighter wire hook and will work better for swimbaits about 2.8" - 4" , those are great swimbaits when paired with the correct size bait.
Yes and when I talked about there being times when you do use a heavy wire, I had it paired with a 4.8. Sometimes I have seen guys put big heads like that in smaller 2.8 and 3.8 inch swimbaits which is my point exactly
On a Keitech, I use a weighted 'keeper' EWG, and I sometimes slit the belly a bit to give the hook more room to get through on the set. Makes things more weedless as I can keep the point 'Texas rig style' in the little top channel. But I did have to go from a 3/0 to a 4/0 to get better penetration on hook set as well as keeping it in against the fight, and it really helped bending the point sideways a bit. For 5" ones, I throw on a 7" medium heavy, 30-lb braid and 15-lb fluoro leader.
@@RBC1692 I switch between a sexy shad and bluegill pattern depending on water/situation. Pretty simple. Problem is that it also attracts a lot of pickerel/pike, and they slice me off, so I've lost quite a few of these. Tried going with a wire leader because of this, but the action was no good and it felt weird.
Guy from Europe here: If i'm fishing the Keitech FSI (which is within my favourite baits) here in the river Rhine with a Fluocarbon leader i won't have much fun because the pike will simply cut the line if it inhales the lure deep enough, and there are lot of decent sized pike around here 😀So even if i'm targeting zander or european perch i always use a steel or titanium leader, otherwise i'll lose plenty of lures and fish 😀
Been considering an Aftco shirt, but to support a fellow Buckeye (& save a couple dollars), I just bought one of your hooded shirts. Just in case it confuses someone, I used the link in your description & it automatically applied the discount, so it wouldn't recognize the code (& give me another 20% off). Thanks as always for the fishing advice.
Thanks dude I appreciate it. Go Bucks! We are looking good right now! Also yes I went a head and made it automatic cause I had a few people asking me how to use the code…so just made it easy. Thanks again!
I love ❤️ these types of videos one of my favourite bass fishing 🎣 videos you have made I been watching and learning from you a lot lately since I am young and have much to learn!
I have a hooded sun shirt, but would be interested in a performance shirt without hood in the blue print you offer in the hooded shirt. I think it’s smart to have blue or gray to match sky conditions. Fish see red and therefore see you. Don’t wear red when fishing.
Great content again. VMC moon eyes do a great job on keitech 3.3 3.8 and 4.3 For the 4.3 I often under spin or throw it with dirty jigs TB finesse. Don’t be fooled by the light wire hooks the can handle big fish paired with the right rod reel setup. Moon eye handled two fish over 16 pounds for me this year. Pike and lake trout while smallie fishing. It’s going to fun to watch your clothing line grow.
I caught 5 bass on a swimbait with a under spin today, missed couple more, but they where doing trick today. Only got fish about hour n half took me hour figure it out. Very clear water, tributary of Ohio river near Cincinnati. Started off with brush jig, then Ned rig nothing on either. 2 nd cast out with bass pro underspin with 4 inch yum money maker swimbait and boom
I enjoyed your video. One thing, I don't use exposed hook jigheads nearly as much as offset hook jigheads that you can fish more snagless/weedless. I avoid the frequent snags and I don't seem to miss many strikes. Your tip on lighter hooks is right on the money though. Just have to make sure you have a good sharp hook on the jighead. When I find the perfect jighead for my preferred swimbait I buy a bunch of them. (Using a bait with too flimsy of a tail may be another mistake many make.)
didn't know till now that FINN was a company you started/owned. Tried to purchase, but no stock. Left an inquiry, no response. Tried to support your channel Tyler, oh well, just bought a HUK on Amazon.
I appreciate all info that you put out and honestly try to follow your advice. But @ 4.26 you mentioned a 6th sense magdraft swimbait, I got excited. I thought maybe I hadn't seen this yet. I have a feeling it was supposed to be megabass. Good information keep up the great work
Congrats on the new product line! That’s a dream endeavor. Thanks for the tips. I rarely feel like my jig head matches my swim bait.. I can tell the difference in bites when they do match though.
Hey Tony. Probably gonna be 3 weeks before I get the color back in stock in the 3x. Send me and email through the website when it becomes available and I’ll make sure you still get the 20% off
Yo, I fish ‘em in the Pacific, but I fear we’re all dumping a lot of plastic into our waters. These are fairly new, and in time, we’re going to see remnants and pieces and snagged lures everywhere.
Great video, Caught a bunch of bass a few weeks ago on jig head swimbaits, and got stripers yesterday on same rig. What happened to your rod breaking video? The other Tyler ( :) ) did a boat flipping video and mentioned it and wanted to watch again but cannot find on your channel.

Being a lady it is hard for me to find cool stuff like for instants a tee with a woman hook setting a bass on a bass boat with sunrise behind them lol. I just always buy men’s clothing because I have no other option. I would appreciate it! Keep the vids coming…love watching!
That is 100% in the works! You'll have to give me some time with it though. I am not rich and don't come from money so I had to chose sparingly at first. With the being said, 5% of my viewers are women, which means 1 out of 20 views is a woman and that is pretty impressive to me! Thanks for commenting and watching the videos!

The VMC mooneye jig works great for the keitechs
Yup that is great one. I pour some heads and basically try to make my own mooneye
I live by Lake Norman. Glad I came across this video.
Great video and thanks for sharing.
Tip #4 was the most beneficial for me as a bank fisherman with very limited resources.
Killing it on this setup right now!!! Only thing I would add is that screw lock style jig gives you a few more catches before tearing up the swimbait.
Love that! Definitely don’t like wasting money

I like em on a 2/0 Trokar Magworm or Dropshot a 1/0 for the 3.5
@@RBC1692 The little ones go nicely with a jig head, but I don't use that much. Actually use them as trailers on 3/8 oz. chatter baits.
@@Fugettaboutit the chatter bait sounds legit. Good action on VMC tungsten dropshot though. Luv pro blue red pearl & mainly use the shiners.

You can still use 20lb with a lefty kreh loop knot. In fact for all swimbaits and top water it’s all I run. For glides I just use a split ring

size 4

Absolutely, it may be a bit controversial but it works for me

Tyler looking for your Finn hooded shirt 3x and your sold out. When will you have more in stock at 20% off?
Hey Tony. Probably gonna be 3 weeks before I get the color back in stock in the 3x. Send me and email through the website when it becomes available and I’ll make sure you still get the 20% off
A good rule of size is # 3 hook 3in bait # 4 hook 4 in bait and so on . .
I could’ve swore our Walmart in east ky had this brand back in the summer.
What about using underspin weighted hooks
How long do you give a fish to reposition on a piece of cover if the fish follows your glide bait and doesn’t commit?
I have done it several times in the 30min - 1hr range. I have also done it 2 days after I saw the fish
Yo, I fish ‘em in the Pacific, but I fear we’re all dumping a lot of plastic into our waters. These are fairly new, and in time, we’re going to see remnants and pieces and snagged lures everywhere.

what size hook for a 4" swimbait???
I use a 3/0 for 3.5,3.8, and 4 inch swimbaits. Anything above 4 inch I’ll go 4/0
wish you luck !
be careful with lighter lines if you have toothy fish like northern pikes in your lakes. lost 2 magdraft swimbaits to those guys using 15 pound line.
