Catching Giant Bass With Big Soft Swimbaits Is Too Easy!

Would you ever do guide trips? I’ve been swimbait fishing urban for years now and want to learn the big lakes and ur the best I know out here

[@crazybassfisher]

I personally don’t do guide trips, I personally don’t feel qualified yet for something that serious

[@azfishkid]

@ it ain’t even about catching fish but just more learning what fish are doing and what to do, I went on a swimbait guide last year that sucked payed him like 500 and didn’t learn a thing about fishing except that he was good in the 90’s and didn’t see a fish so I was js seeing if you would ever do them

I love watching your videos. I know the exact locations of many of your catches both urban pond and lakes. 5 years of Phoenix. You are lucky to have great availability there. But as a northern resident there is a place for all of this here as well. Just not double digit fish but who knows.

[@spencerhansen8956]

Geoff, another great video, man. I want your opinion - I live in central Illinois where trout aren't typically stocked. Do you think that trout-shaped baits like the tyrant could still play? Or do you think shad shaped baits are a better bet? Understand you haven't fished here as much as you've fished home water. Just curious of your opinion on whether bass care about bait profile.

[@crazybassfisher]

I think profile can play a big part however, I don’t think it’s a make or break for the fish. Most of the time, Bass will see an easy target and try and eat it. The tyrant 8 would work great where you live

[@jeffahrens6246]

What size beast hook do you use on the 8 Tyrant?

[@crazybassfisher]

I use a 10/0 however the bait is designed and built around the 8/0

[@MrStevethurmon]

What weight would u suggest in 20-25’? 1/2 or 3/4?

[@Sonny1065LV]

Whats that lake called?

[@squarebill]

Jeff if you could have only one swimbait rod what would it be . Not so much brand as length power and all . Naw yeah brand as well . Thx n Merry Christmas.

[@crazybassfisher]

I would go with a 8’ XH parabolic rod rated from 2-8oz. That will cover most of what I throw on a daily basis. Brand wise, LDC would be my personal choice just because I have fished their rods for almost a decade now.

[@squarebill]

[@garymueller6488]

What size beast hook is that, thanks Geoff.

[@crazybassfisher]

For the 10” tyrant I rock a 12/0 and for the 8” either a 10/0 or 8/0, the bait was designed for the 8/0 though

[@johndeluca1614]

Just started fishing swimbaits and had lots of success this Fall with a 6" Magdraft Freestyle. It's affordable, and doesn't need true swimbait gear to throw. I'd like to try the 8" Magdraftbut would prefer a weedless version. I'd rather not cut the harness out of the standard 8" Magdraft to rig a Beast Hook, but might have to. Any other affordable weedless baits you'd suggest?

[@jamesbarron1202]

Why do you say they put in PVC pipe fish habitat in your lakes for no reason? I have a bunch in my pond that I built from huge 10” diameter pipe and I also have big brush piles. My bass are never around the pipe and love the brush. I would’ve thought the smaller bass would get inside the pipe to avoid the sun in my shallow pond but they don’t. I’ve wondered if they also avoid PVC in lakes without much brush or grass. They’ll definitely take brush over plastic. Algae doesn’t grow on the PVC like brush.

[@crazybassfisher]

That’s what I’m saying, I wish Game and Fish would just take down old and broken trees or bushes and put those in the lakes instead of plastic and pvc pieces of cover.

[@jamesbarron1202]

@@crazybassfisher so from what your saying it’s not that good in lakes either. I’d think they’d only use it in lakes with nothing else is available as a last resort. I made a habitat out of about 100 plastic wire spools stacked on each other in towers and each tower connected to the other towers and they avoid it also. I built it for my small fish to have a way to escape from the bass.
