Man, this is awesome. Really struck a chord with me, I feel like I pussy foot around with certain baits trying not to lose them causing me not to catch fish. I'm gonna keep all this in mind while fishing next time.
IT's good to know it made a difference with at least one person Tim!
I was just telling my 11 year old son this today. I was slamming them today and he wasnt catching much. I told him if you wanna catch fish you gotta put your lure where the fish are at and that might mean you get hung up. Eventually he got tired of watching me catch fish and he put his bait where it needed to be and caught fish. Only got hung up once but got it back.
Just found your videos tonight. Keep up the good work, and thanks for the info
Looking at some old videos and found this one, this is the best advice I’ve heard in a long time. None of us want to lose our prized baits but that’s what they’re for. Clearly, ALL baits catch more fishermen than fish and I love my lures and don’t want to lose them. But my chewed up ones have such a special place...like you said...some of those do get retired. One way to solve this is to always buy two if you can and put one away. Then you always know you have at least one backup. I know...Easier said than done, especially w the super high end ones. Great video, great advice!!! I’m going to remember this, and “consider it a blessing” each time it comes back to the boat!! Perfectly said Bro!!
Thanks!!!
Pat
Gilbert, your BASS knowledge and understanding of techniques an philosophies is insane. So much knowledge, given to us.
Thanks dude
Clear and to the point with no BS....Another outstanding video Mike!!
Understood, I've been losing a lot lately and have been gun shy with what I have left, I needed to hear this, thanks Mikey!
Simple thought, yet it can totally change the outlook on how you purchase and fish the baits. Great advice, thanks.
I heard something along the same lines as this from another Swim Baiter that like you said opened my eyes to catching more fish , he said treat the really expensive Swim Baits like you would a 20 $ Swim Bait. Good stuff Mike.
Your perspective is to the T as real as it gets the fish game needs that nice work sir
keep the vids coming brother, always good stuff!
Completely agree Mike! Came to this conclusion after losing my first Deps 250 and has completely changed my swimbait game since! I like the challenge of getting my bait back to me let alone a fish on it!
love these glimpses into your philosophy
This is awesome . Just what I needed to hear
What an intelligent angler. Love watching these videos.
Now that's Bass Attitude! I scare myself and get nervous almost every cast.
Love your thoughts on this Mike👍 Gokng to think about this tomorrow morning when I am fishing on my local river👍
Very good advice. So glad i was pointed to WCZ. Very much looking forward to getting my first Citizen
This video completely changed my swimbait game. Started making my own glides to lessen the pain. Most definitely catching alot more and bigger bass than before.
Thank you!!! New to chucking big baits, had been thinking along the same lines but wasn't comfortable with it, foul hooked a crocodile the other month with my fav deep diving hard body, thought I'd just snagged the bottom, but when I got the bib back it came from 80 feet to the left of the troll run...lure retrievers are worth there weight in gold, normally use a pole type, works well chasing Barra..thanks for the tips 👍
Love everything you do👌👌👌thank god i found you,as will learn alot for targeting murry cod in my impoundment
Lure retrievers are a must... Carry two!!!
bob smith I think hes talking more about when the bass eats it and then snaps off because it was in an area that most wouldn't throw in to because of that. I've learned to worry about that after I get the bite.
Lure retrievers! Peace of mind... I think you are both making points about different things I've mentioned. Good stuff though
Thanks Mike👊
well said. i been rolling with that train of thought the last few years. i fish/cast where most wouldnt and 90% of the time it pays off.
Absolutely true. When I first started using jigs I was like that. Now I don't care I get out I get it out. I wish I had the quality of Bass to throw giant swimbaits where I live. Love your vids.
Ryan Miranda where you live
Now I’m going to take my WCZ x DRT joyride and get uncomfortable throwing it in some sketchy spots
just bought 300 bucks in glide baits and soft swimbaits today for the first time after buying 10 dollar lures my whole life thinking that was expensive haha. I like how youre preparing me for heartbreak unlike other guys with line sponsors lol "just buy ___ and youll never lose fish" great vid mike, much respect from Charlotte NC
Exactly....well said Mike.
You are 100%correct on this one...
This is the way I fish most of the time. Yes loosing an expensive bait is never easy but throwing it in the most snaggiest place is most likely gonna get you bit. Still need to put this method of fishing to my hard baits.
This is a very interesting way to think about lures. Seems to me I catch more fish on certain jigs and lures (that I am not scared to lose) than ones I am ultra careful with. Have caught tons on the Nichols Finesse Flippin jigs because they are only $3.5 and I guess I fish them with less worry (at least maybe subconsciously because I don't realize it with others). Same goes for cheaper cranks I am willing to fish more aggressively.
Good advice Im never afraid to lose broke 2 baitsanity trout explorers in two days bummed but thats fishing Cheers!! :))
Just ordered the muted gill ,Looks Killer man! Hope I don't lose them But I'm definitely willing to put them in the dangerZone!
Good advice Mike. No coincidence you first two baits are weedless! I learned this lesson a few years back. I had to adapt my "system" of rod power and line type to compliment fishing solely the 8" weedless Hudd instead of the exposed hook models. I found that going up one rod power, and using braid to a leader (copoly or mono), along with giving the fish a 2-count to fully swallow the lure was the formula for extremely high hookup ratios when running the truly big weedless baits. Just like you said, I too found that putting that super real looking, truly large bait, right into the thick of places was the x-factor. Also, as you state....its gotta be soft baits. Because this particular philosophy is for targeting fish in or next to serious cover, the 'drawing' power of many of the big glides is negated. These fish fall into the ambush classification vs their 'cover water and flush'em out peers' (drawing from John Hope's research in Trackin Trophies).
i belive your Carl? love your vids, love this comment
KeepinItReelFishing, your still alive! No videos, no nothing. Whats been going on?
Check my channel. JUST uploaded one on a cool new bait.
Exactly! Spot on.
Awesome thoughts
Incredible, Thanks
Preach brother!
Still the best advice its what I use Thank You!!! Cheers!! :))
Great advice! I will keep this in mind for sure!
Good stuff man, enjoy this topic!
I agree I use to be worried about loosing baits and it would kill my fishing
this video is old as fuck, but if you and your wife are still shipping out every order yourselves, you guys are top notch. both times i’ve ordered, they literally shipped the next day.
and they’ve helped me slay some giants, for me anyways.
Cant find a bad shad 7.5 out here in Arizona to save my life. Hopefully they come back in stock.
That's real I agree with you that's goes to all fishing from swimbaits to texas riging plastics
Good point. I realized this first with jigs. If I'm not getting hung up & losing some then why fish them bc they're not in the right place if I don't have to focus on working that bait out. After I learned that with a jig I started applying that to cranks and all other baits. I throw a glide bait in a place full of coontail and laydowns. People look at me crazy when they see what I catch fish on. Lol
Nick Cavazos amen. I was basically gonna make the same comment. Your gonna be more conservative with say a 100$ swimbait, but don’t be afraid to throw a jig into anything.
Nick Cavazos yeah same here had days where Ive snapped 5+ jigs off but most of those days I catch really quality bags
Okokiiokkkiokkkkkkkkkkkiikkkkkkkkkkkkkiikiikkkkkkkkkkkkiokiioikninkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkii
Perfect Timing! Lost 4 big swimbaits over the weekend! Oh well! Just like entering a Casino! Already GONE! Thanks and keep up the great content!
Man I love swimbait theories. Would love to see this series continue.
Agree 100%
Glad you made a video about this particular subject. I always throw my lures into some gnarly stuff or close to it. Gotta take the risk if you want the reward!
What I've learned from doing it like this is to throw the cheapest in the areas most wouldn't. If I lose that then no biggie. But if I get a bite then the next time I know it's worth it to throw in to that area again.
Wish I could buy some WCZ baits now adays
Awesome advice. And the truth. Sad thing is I only worry about losing your stuff. Lol. I can't replace it tomorrow when I do. That's why the citizen is my new favorite. Comes in a 3 pack. Lol. Any other soft bait recommendations? It would be appreciated if you have any. Thanks
Rago makes some really cool looking stuff with what I consider to be the best soft plastic pours. Nates Baits is also producing some rad stuff in both the 7 in and 9in sizes.
Working Class Zero thanks Mike
Its worse fishing these things up north where every lake has muskys and you cant really fish them effectively with a leader :\
This has been the first thing people tell the new comers to the big swim bait world. And being that most start from the banks we already know this going into it. We can't see where we throw it. It could look clear as glass and still get hung up or lose the lure and the fish because of that. But I dont think it has helped me get anything that a guy that was more cautious about where he throws these big lures.
This is the first time I’ve seen your videos. I’m going to be completely honest. For some strange reason I thought Shia Labeouf was going to talk about swimbaits.
It's so true about not worrying about losing a bait...there's one thing to throwing a bait in a tree which is a newb move and a totally other thing to snagging a bait where you can't retrieve it...I've been afraid to lose a bait in the past and it kept me from fishing it correctly...so true dude...well said
Speaking gospel brother keep up the good work stay busy doing good stuff like you been
As a man much wiser than me once said "I don't like it, I don't agree with it, but I accept it"...
Lando Calrissian
this is what is struggle with being 14 and not having a job to work a real job losing a bait can take me awhile to replace or get a new bait
rowenvandergriff i feel you man that 1 single hudd i have is my baby and i can deal with loosing it if it happens but id rather i dont loose it until i get a replacement
Is there a way you can work out doing chores or something with your parents to earn payment. Something in addition to what you should already be doing just to help out around the house.
i do stuff for neighbors and i have a few baits soft and hard just some times after i get a new bait i dont want to lose it ofcourse but i get over that fast after a few casts
rowenvandergriff yeah i accept ill loose it eventually
I do it with soft baits but I’ll be damned if ima do it with my glides
But y would u take off the mojo bait? Mojo means that bait that's getting the job done.
I would die if I lost my Hinkle though! But, you are so right...
I'm sure this has been said and I know your busy but you need a pos cast asap
Do you mean a Podcast?
naw dude i think he meant pos cast
Truth
🤯
Unfortunately bro this is part of the game and if you don't want to loose a bait please don't go fishing
Lost my Hinkle today. Guess I should have kept my mouth shut.
Boring
