Best Swimbait Technique You've Never Heard Of

[@kylegadd6277]

Such an underrated channel. Great content as always.

[@BassGeek]

Thank you sir. I can't say how much that means. Really.

[@MrET114]

@@BassGeek That is a great way of hooking that swim bait. But my question to you is how can I make it weedless?

[@lannyseals2084]

That's why I really enjoy the bass geek channel,he is not holding anything back or keeping baits or technique from us.. I have learned tons of great things to help out on the water from this channel! Thanks for sharing your passion and experiences with us! Tight lines and stay safe out there brother!

[@BassGeek]

Thank you so much! That's why I love to do this. Thank you so much.

[@lannyseals2084]

@@BassGeek Yes sir! 👍

[@treyferguson2965]

I've done this before but I came through the belly. I'm going to try this way as well to see if there's a difference in action or anything. Good tip thanks man.

[@BassGeek]

Hope ya catch a toad

[@lesfryman2296]

Love the new technique and love the videos that show new techniques. Most underrated channel on KZbin. Thanks again Hank. Fantastic content.

[@BassGeek]

Thank you! I feel like we are underrated but I don’t want to sound like I think we are something special either lol

[@DR4296]

I find that you're a very good speaker / communicator. None of this "ummm" and "ahhhh" stuff. Clear and precise with your wording. Good job!

[@BassGeek]

HahHa man I can get bad I’m with the Ummms sometimes

[@upstateangler9575]

Kind of like dragging that shaky head with a big worm through shell beds . Does give them a different presentation though. Something I am going to have to take a look at this summer . Going to try some spoons this weekend . Alot of vass are out suspending deep right now. We had a cold spring and as where the bass would normally split and half of them go into the grass lines. The grass is not as full as it normally is this time of year so we have more out deep then usual. The ones in the grass are just getting hammered as well. So much extra pressure this year . Have had to go finess all the way for the most part to catch any shallow. Really going to focus on the deep side of things this year because most guys are not doing that . Hope all is well man

[@BassGeek]

Oh yeah man go get’em!

[@jbsfishingstuffnmore7387]

More good stuff .. Man it's that time of year here . Shallow mornings Deep days and lots of hot UV Ray's..

[@BassGeek]

Best time of the year!

[@markinthemix6055]

This video and your tips caught me an 8.4 and a 5.5 today on this bait. Had a great day catching plenty of 2.5’s and 3-4’ s today on wacky rigs also. Great tips.

[@BassGeek]

Awesome!!! Thanks for the comment

[@bryanpayne2354]

One of the pro's was show this technique a few weeks ago only thing different he rigged his weedless. It was a Tube jig head that he used.. I love Strike king baits they seem to have more action.. I just hate to pay 10 bucks a pack for them.

[@BassGeek]

Yeah ain't cheap but you get what ya pay for.

[@AdamSavageFishing]

Def going to have to try this technique this summer. 👊🏻🎣🐟

[@BassGeek]

Like I said it don't catch a ton but it does catch the toads.

My brother thanks for the video. Been a while been busy but I'm back enjoying your videos. Playing catch up now thanks again as always

[@BassGeek]

Thanks man and trust me I get life. Unfortunately l have one and it gets in the way of fishing constantly. lol

[@EngineeringHooksets]

I love ZOOM man. Be cool if you did a video fishing under docks on a hot day with a 10 inch ol' monster

[@BassGeek]

I have a dock video planed but it might be different than anything most anyone has ever seen.

[@impendingdoom385]

[@Native20559]

How is your method different in concept to using a football head jig? They’re fished the same way ...

[@BassGeek]

It's a totally different bait and presentation.

[@TackleJunky81]

Solid info brother! Not really any ledges in the lakes I fish, but I can think of a few spots this may work. 👊💪

[@BassGeek]

Thank ya bro! It really does work. Like I said It don't catch a lot but it does catch the toads.

[@BWOUTDOORS]

good video ,like the way you show how it works , will try it, thanks, thigh lines out their.

[@BassGeek]

I like it a lot killer when it's tough

[@jaredkemperfishing]

Something different is always good, gonna give this a try!

[@BassGeek]

Man it works well for the bigguns.

[@fishingwithvin]

Nice kinda like the way I rig my tubes, thanks that's a awesome idea!

[@BassGeek]

Yeah that's very much the same idea.

[@willperryman4559]

Hey Hank, that Slugger is looking great 👍 I love how they distributed the weight to be heavier at the bottom. I just got another order (4) of TRC Covers which gives me 18 rods protected with custom trc_covers 😜 Happy Summer Buddy 💯🎣🍀🎣

[@BassGeek]

Awesome I’m happy you like the covers so much.

[@darrenhall7990]

Will the ledge head work with the Ultra molds swimbait?

[@BassGeek]

Yes both versions will work. The Exterior or original ledge head and the slugger like this video.

[@johnthebastist]

Gonna have to pick up some hollow bodies!!!! 🙌🎣💥 solid tips!

[@BassGeek]

Be sure to check out the head to. Thanks bro!

[@johnthebastist]

BassGeek yessir already got some of those, needed more hollow bodies anyway, this is the perfect reason to go buy some 🤣

[@ncfishon965]

I rig my weedless tubes the same way. Good info Hank!!

[@BassGeek]

Yeah! That's kinda were this come from.

[@mackjenkins7721]

Hello that was a great video. Man you make a good teacher. You need to get paid for this. This is real cool how you demonstrate of setting it up. I want to say Happy Father's Day to you and I hope it was a good one.

[@BassGeek]

Thank you a bunch! I love to fish and talk fishing.

[@LUE68]

Is that a summer technique or more late fall winter? Got 10 rod sleeves and a few of those preacher jigs. Cant wait!

[@BassGeek]

I mean you can use it anytime but it’s a summer technique for me mostly

[@seizedcarcass8440]

I don’t thing I’ve ever tired to fish a swimbaits this particular way. Besides pre rigged ones

[@BassGeek]

This is a very good way to fish them.

I'm just getting back into bass fishing. Love your channel. I ordered the shadalicious 4.5 with the 1/2oz internal weighted hooks. Will the technique work the same or will the 1/2oz only be good for swimming the bait?

@@BassGeek I was there iam almost everyday haha

[@hillbillytarzan]

I like using the Tokyo rig on a swimbait for deep bass too. I make my own so I can weigh them as heavy or light as I need them. Works great by dragging those weights along the bottom under the swimbait. Let’s you keep your bait slightly off bottom and let’s the tail work.

Yup I dig that to!

[@landonbragg6732]

Just purchase a 4.8 keitech and put it on a wobble head jig, not as finesse but way better action

[@BassGeek]

The action is way different then this presentation. When you drag this in the rock or shell the tail stands up like it feeding on the bottom. A wobble head doesn’t do that. The keitech slides across the bottom. Much different

[@Hogster202]

May I suggest putting a bacon trailer on it.
