Bass Fishing from the Bank with Texas Rig Soft Plastic Sweet Beaver

A Texas Rig with a soft plastic Sweet Beaver works well when bass fishing from the bank. The Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver 4.20 resembles a Pit Boss style craw. Today I managed to catch two nice bass close to the bank. A simple Texas Rig consisting of a 3/0 EWG and a 1/4 oz weight is all you need. I am using my typical 12 lb. test mono on a medium heavy baitcaster for my bank fishing setup. If you are looking for something to Texas Rig the next time you are out bass fishing, maybe try a Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver.

[@fingerlakesfishing8086]

All that talk about sweet beaver and spreading legs, I’m dying over here 😂

[@RealisticFishing]

This show is PG 😅

[@chok2345]

My man! I love some sweet beaver! I like fishing too! 😆

[@RealisticFishing]

This lure brings them both together 👍

[@dylant4737]

He wasn't mowing the grass. He was ripping every single fold straight out of the roots. Holy shit, I've never heard a mower so loud

[@azscout9071]

That sweet beaver is a killer bed bait. And perfect for a t-rig. Gotta love it

[@RealisticFishing]

It sure is. Anything shaped like a craw, I have confidence in it. 👍

[@johndeno1071]

Shit, I flinched when the rock moved on you also...lol

[@MrChineyman]

I've been watching you for a few weeks, what i love about your videos is that all the mishaps I have you have. It a nice feeling, knowing you're not alone.

[@RealisticFishing]

Its a grind, not a fairy tale 😉

[@lojofishing]

dude I LOVE those sweet beavers, I use them in south florida when flipping heavy grass, great work as usual brother

[@RealisticFishing]

Sweet! beaver

[@twotoned2774]

You ain't watching realistic fishing if there ain't a creepy guy in a truck watching you fish. I was just thinking what to watch on youtube for my last 20 minutes of my shift. Then I noticed the notification. You didn't let me down. That second bass had some nice color.

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks for watching during your shift 😂

[@Ridg76]

NOTHING BEATS A SWEET BEAVER!

[@RealisticFishing]

Sweet Beaver!

[@FISHINandJUNK]

You can't help but snicker like a kid when you read Reaction Innovations bait names and colors. It really is impressive you are always about to catch some nice bass in very public spots.

[@RealisticFishing]

Thats right, public parks have fish. You have to come original to get em 👍

[@fishingwithvance]

Really nice one that first one. Can't believe they hit those Sweet Beavers but they sure do. Enjoyed it as usual. Fish on!

[@RealisticFishing]

Bass cant resist a sweet beaver 😂

[@garydirks8223]

Thanks for making Realistic Fishing.

[@RealisticFishing]

👍

[@PigPatrolTV]

Sweet beavers get it done!

[@RealisticFishing]

Oh yeah!

[@Jordy_joefishes122]

Love that bait cast reel

[@virgilc.rickicochran2612]

Those were 2 nice bass Alex! You did the right thing by fishing that wind blown bank. The wind pushes bait toward the bank, and bass follow. I've learned a lot from you since I found your channel last year, so I'd like to share an experience-based tip. Once the bass become energetic, keep your rod tip down after you set the hook. It prevents them from jumping out high enough to throw the lure. I lost a few a month ago over a couple days, and one again Wed evening, because the excitement caused me to forget to lower my rod tip. I've never lost one when I've remembered. Can't wait for your next video, Alex! Have a great weekend!

[@RealisticFishing]

I rarely lose fish when they are jumping because they can't get any leverage on a single hook lure. 😉

[@virgilc.rickicochran2612]

Then I don't know what I did wrong. Only one way to find out - I need to fish more. 😁

[@scottboltz]

Sweet Beavers are awesome. They are the ORIGINAL beaver bait.

[@RealisticFishing]

Sweet! beaver

[@houwerslifestyle3223]

I don’t think I have ever seen anyone set a nastier hook than this guy #respect

[@RealisticFishing]

Its fast but the drag is backed off a little so it slips if I am too aggressive with it. I want speed for good penetration, but not enough power to rip their face off. And mono stretches a little 👍

[@edillingham.fishing]

Sweet beavers are straight MOOOONNNNNEEEYYYY

[@RomanCastroVlog]

Fun vid! When that truck rolled through the parking lot at 3:35 I thought it was that dude creepin' again. LoL

[@mckmh07167]

Crushing it. Sweet beaver. Some of the names of these baits are hilarious

[@RealisticFishing]

This one was particularly fun 😂

[@michaelgrant6474]

Them damn guys in a boat! Nice bass you caught. They looked great! Keep up with the great videos. You never let me down on your videos.

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Michael 👍

[@FlatOutBankAngling]

Those beavers are in my top 3 favorite baits!! Those were some really nice bass!

[@RealisticFishing]

👍

[@BassGeek]

Man why is it when I'm searching for sweet beaver I always end up at a fishing channel. UGH. lol They make great Jig trailers.

[@RealisticFishing]

Oh, you were looking for a different sweet beaver.... 😂

[@grillersassemble1173]

Those bass put one hell of a fight 🐟on

[@RealisticFishing]

Jumping like crazy!

[@andrewpogue1581]

Just bought that same plastic. Can't wait till Saturday to try them myself. You are Realistically teching me to fish.

[@RealisticFishing]

Good luck out there!

[@vexedvkng]

I really like your channel and videos. There is too much of the "Unrealistic", or videos not everyone can expect when fishing. Thanks for keeping it real!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Brad!

[@kevinmiller8053]

Reaction Innovations has the best bait names. 🤣🤣

[@RealisticFishing]

😂

[@cabraljoshbeer]

Lol, sweet beaver. Glad it worked. Keep up the great work

[@RealisticFishing]

😂

[@holypokey47]

I’ve always liked sweet beaver. It’s been a crazy spring here in NC too. Almost got hot in February cold as hell in March and then instant summer by the third week of April. That second bass was a pretty fish.

[@RealisticFishing]

Same here 🤔 What happened to spring?

[@KBuggz]

literally my favorite channel

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Kay 😀

[@KBuggz]

Realistic Fishing you're welcome!

[@mattk1073]

[@chetgreenwood484]

Brobee appearance and some “Sweet Beaver”!!!

[@RealisticFishing]

Yo... gabba... beaver

[@dootdeedootdeedoo]

Bingeing your videos today while its storming out. Gotta say you really are amazing. You fish the same handful of spots and always manage to keep it interesting. And you do all of this from the bank!!

[@RealisticFishing]

I have about 12 spots that I rotate depending on the seasons. 👍

[@dylant4737]

Those baits I sent are going to last you a full year! Very happy to see them working

[@RealisticFishing]

I love trying out new lures! 👍

[@ThatDisneyFisherman]

their kinky beaver is one of my go to baits..i have soo much confidence in the kinky beaver.

[@RealisticFishing]

Sounds kinky! 😂

[@EDHSports]

Dude I do see your point sometimes you have to show people that we aren't all these big KZbin fishermen with 8000 dollar cameras and equipment we have our at most 80 dollar combos and fish to catch and still have great content love the videos dude

[@RealisticFishing]

I did it on a $15 combo for a while last year. No problem 👍

[@EDHSports]

And this is why we watch the videos

[@darianharris9735]

My “go to” bait

[@RealisticFishing]

Sweet!... beaver

[@FatMattOutdoors]

The audio quality on the line trimmer was AMAZING..... lol. Who can resist a Sweet Beaver? "I'm going to split these legs right off the bat" Quote of the day 🤓

[@RealisticFishing]

Sweet Beev 😀

[@tailorgabe5021]

The blower and mower guy should really be apart of your intro😂

[@RealisticFishing]

Maybe one day 😂

[@jmoney57]

Adding a like and comment for content activity 😏 but really I just enjoy watching all your videos when I'm not out in the water myself.

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks J Money

[@HOOKEMINTHEMOUTHKAYAKFISHING]

7:01 HOOKEM in the mouth! He thought 💭 he was gonna get away. Nice video Alex .

[@RealisticFishing]

Ha! It sucks when you think your falling in. Glad I didn't 😂

[@timgibson5110]

Appreciate the videos man! It’s little to early here in Michigan for good bass fishing, I’ll have to try that bait out when it warms up, thanks for helpful videos and a good laugh

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks for watching Tim 👍

[@stevedimond267]

That's awesome. Good stuff as always.

[@RealisticFishing]

[@Kingcole26outdoors]

[@RealisticFishing]

Nice!

[@adventuresmidwest3065]

That sweet beaver is an awesome lure!! Nice job man!!!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks!

[@robsterr7145]

I like the fact you use all the lures I'm curious about using but don't necessarily want to buy at the moment lol great vid!

[@RealisticFishing]

Gotta try em all!

[@josephnywayfarer1345]

Sweet Beaver!! Awesome bait name and nice Bass caught on it! You have inspired me to try new baits this year. Every other trip I am changing baits so I don’t get stagnant. I have caught stuff on soft plastics, in-line spinners, crankbaits and jerkbaits so far. Next up is spinnerbaits

[@RealisticFishing]

Good luck! 👍

[@charlesrobertson2412]

Big baits catch big bass. And F'in big bass love sweet beavers ‼️

[@RealisticFishing]

Sweet Beaver! 😂

[@jnsm19]

Sweet sweet beaver!

[@RealisticFishing]

😂

[@BassRangerOutdoors]

Craw style baits are a great go-to bait when the bite gets tough!!

[@RealisticFishing]

They are great for me any time 👍

[@jameshendrixmizfit7364]

I love those lures. I like the Man Bear Pigs in Dirty Sanchez color. They work good where I am

[@RealisticFishing]

👍

[@juliocruz7481]

Great action realistic!!! Btw huge shoutout to you I finally caught my first bass this morning using your tips. 1.5 lbs with a crank bait you’re the man!

[@RealisticFishing]

Awesome. Good job Julio 👍

[@ScottyhillakaFishn4Him]

Another great one! SWEET BEAVER!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Scotty!

[@TeamSkunk]

"Theres my car" I probably laughed more than I should have at that lol. I'm glad I found and subscribed to your channel. You are genuinely entertaining 🤘.

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Team Skunk 👍

[@samwillis6692]

Awesome video! Will buy some of these to try this spring.

[@stanguevara4722]

Kapono must like you so you've made a friend.....SHAKA BRAH!!!!!

[@golferdadof3605]

It’s been a strange season here. Cold days, warm days, snow and now hot.

[@RealisticFishing]

I hear ya 😅

[@joteriphoto]

Thanks

[@RealisticFishing]

YW

[@joehall7869]

Nice couple bass good for you.

[@RealisticFishing]

Oh yeah 👍

[@samwillis6692]

I’ve watched this video many times. I just received my Sweet Beavers from tackle warehouse n the same color you used in this video.

[@rbishop12399]

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Rusty 👍

[@BingeCenter]

I like the colors!

[@RealisticFishing]

[@ExtremePineapple19]

I always like the video before I even start watching.... your videos are always great and the best part no bull shit !!!!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Pineapple 👍

[@JulesWinnfield-]

Just purchased the Sweet Beaver “Dirty Sanchez” a must for any tackle box.

[@mattarmstrong8197]

Kinky beaver is pretty awesome too.

[@RealisticFishing]

Havent tried that one 😅

[@mattarmstrong8197]

Has more appendages, very realistic. Pun intended.

[@shawnengland7496]

The sweet beaver is probably one of my favorite beaver baits. Love flipping it into brush and around docks. Also they've got some hilarious color names to boot lol

[@RealisticFishing]

😀 yeah they do

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Great video 📹 👍 with some beasts of bass!!

[@jasonbruno6084]

Way to go with that Sweet Beaver..lol.. nice catches 👍

[@RealisticFishing]

👍😂

[@dadspiranha.pipeslogos4207]

That a boy fish them up I’m a friend of chaos paddlers TK have an outdoor bass fishing lots of them I will definitely watch you have my support thank you back

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks 👍

[@CaustinSutton]

18k subscribers? People sure do love some Realistic Fishing! I remember when you had about 5k. That's incredible, Alex. Keep it up!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks 👊

[@23rubmrtnz]

Great video man. I have a bag in my boat I’ve had for a while and never use them guess it’s time to try them out.

[@RealisticFishing]

Worth a try for sure 👍

[@mannyvenegas7601]

Yea nothing like a sweet beaver.. 😎

[@RealisticFishing]

Thats right 😀

[@golferdadof3605]

I love me some sweet beaver, especially after a few cold ones and a decent pair of beer goggles.

[@RealisticFishing]

You are talking about fishing lures right? 😅

[@golferdadof3605]

Realistic Fishing I’m stumped. Fish here in Indianapolis Indiana are biting on fast moving baits rather than slow moving craws or worms. At least where I’m at.

[@RealisticFishing]

Pre spawn agression... We are into / exiting the spawn. They are a little tired.

[@connorlane1862]

Nice man I can’t watch the vid right now I’m not home but I liked and I will watch later when i can. Keep It Realistic 👌👌

[@RealisticFishing]

👍 Thanks

[@Donttalkbacktoome]

wow great job, that bait is one of my favorites.

[@RealisticFishing]

👍

[@WILKINSOUTDOORADVENTURES]

Not even kidding...even ur commercials are more realistic..more Ford and Mitsubishi as opposed to Lexus. Great content as usual 😂😂😂

[@RealisticFishing]

I prefer "reviews" 😂

[@javierpepin3154]

Sweet beaver 🤙✌ good stuff

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Javier 👍

[@dr53love]

Seriously lol'd.. "welcome to realistic fishing, Weeennnnnnunnunnn"

[@RealisticFishing]

😂

[@massachusettsprepper]

This sweet beaver looks like it works quite well indeed. Both of those bass were of a good size and put up a little bit of a fight. Not a bad day for fishing indeed my friend. Thanks for sharing.

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks for watching MP 👍

[@briancunningham3283]

I will have to check them out. I have some HAVOC baits that look similar. On the side note though.....who doesn't like a Soft Sweet Beaver I know I do lol.

[@RealisticFishing]

Havoc Pit Boss is almost the same thing 👍

[@VirginiaHighlandsOutdoors]

Sweet catch.

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks 👍

[@nickcalise804]

Nice job dude. Lol keeping it real with the landscapers haha 🍺

[@RealisticFishing]

Thats right 🍺

[@DevinDFishing]

Gotta love the beaver bait!!!! Nows great time to throw em 👍🏼 loving it! And loving you getting the progress you deserve almost 20k!!!!! Cheers

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks DevinD 👍

[@sammyvh11]

Been a long time since I had the Sweet Beaver on the hook lol. My son uses these and has won some local tournaments with them.

[@hoosierbackoutdoors1237]

How did I miss this one?? Great stuff man!! As always! And I can’t believe you said “sweet beaver” !!! Hahaha!!! Just about choked on my tea!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@RealisticFishing]

Sweet beaver! 😂

[@bradhenderson4949]

Man those are too good looking bass. Great job! Your fish seem to keep getting bigger and bigger. Must be doing something right. Keep up the grind look forward to your videos

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Brad 👍

[@fee8255]

I love it when you show how you put the bait through the hooks whether wrong or right. I noticed in some videos, it seams like you might have some trouble or whatever with some of those baits and the hook work, and then edit those parts out. Personally I love to see all those things because that is how I learn.

-Beautiful Fish Congratulations- *Abraço!* 👍🎣🐟🐠😊

[@RealisticFishing]

Thank you! 😀

[@thomaslanders1162]

Another good video.. I stopped fishing for 5-7 years.. Some of my plastics are 20 years old at least.. But, the old 4" Berkley power bait worm is still working along with Zoom Lizards, Zoom soft jerk baits, Strike King Jig with Net Bait Craw trailer (deadly for big fish)... I need to get with the times and try some of these creature baits..

[@RealisticFishing]

There will always be something new. But I still like to fish the old stuff too 👍

[@MillerMurdaughFishing]

There’s a trick I use when we are on a school of baitfish that requires noise actually lol, when the bass stop busting on bait but we know where the bait is we will run our outboard right over the baitfish and the bass will sometimes fire right back up. Some noise can actually help you! Let that guy run his mower haha

[@RealisticFishing]

I dont care if the fish like it, it sucks for the audio on the video 😂

[@MillerMurdaughFishing]

Realistic Fishing forgot about that 😂

[@jramsouer]

I have to get some of that sweet beaver!

[@uselessundead]

That's some niiice beaver, bro! 😂😂

[@RealisticFishing]

😀

[@RIPPER334]

That weed eater sounded turbo charged!

[@SouthernFisherman]

Great vid like always

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Southern Fisherman 👍

[@codyharigel2376]

Ooooh SWEET BEAVER
