Gerald Swindle's Top 2 Bass Lures for Year-Round Success

[@Austin_Torres]

Man Gerald seems like the type of person that no matter how easy or tough it will be always humble. And fun to be around.

[@ryanvernatter3537]

Let that beard go gray.

[@georgedavis6583]

Like the guy a lot but he's slipping because he's thinking about everything but fishing. To much silliness he's got to get his head back in the game.

We need a Gerald playlist to easy find this mans tips!!!!!!!!

[@Wired2Fish]

Alright, you got it. We’ll get one constructed next week.

[@19ADAM80]

Yes we do

[@jonathanmartin7003]

For a while I was in a rut. Couldn't seem to get bites. I found out that I had forgotten the old school basics that I always saw my grandpa and dad throw. I finally put down the latest and greatest lures I was throwing because that's what everyone else is throwing. I tied on a zoom mag ii ribnontail worm ( tequila sunrise) and commenced to cleaning house. Don't over think it.

[@chrisrittenburg1719]

The ad was the most inspiration that I have ever heard. G-Man for life!

[@darthlunchbox5337]

Smile came across my face when you said Maine to Spain. Being from Maine, its always good when someone mentions this state. Thank you

[@ChubChub4000]

Always love to hear the wisdom come out of the GMAN’S mouth

[@Wired2Fish]

We're right there with you Emilio!

[@stevekowal6106]

I would give anything to fish 1 day with G man and listen very closely to every word he says, priceless information.

[@wxweenie9]

This was super helpful -- thank you. Gerald explained not only what his two setups are, but also how to fish them and why to fish them over other setups. Appreciate the approach for those of us who are beginners. :)

[@kindywoodandiron1756]

Great tips. People tend to throw everything but the kitchen sink. I try to stick to a couple baits, match color to water clarity and fish the conditions.

[@druewilson1079]

Love Gerald swindle my all-time favorite always has great advice for the common man

[@nicknoga88]

Once again, a wealth of knowledge in just a few short minutes!

[@lancegray1263]

thanks for the tips. my favorite to follow are you, KVD, and BLAT, always passing the knowledge. Giving a i to the sport!!! Good Luck in the future!

[@treepounder1749]

You answered all my questions I’ve been pondering for a while now..

[@patrickrasmusson1810]

That’s absolutely true Gman those two baits a a definite go to

[@brmicklos]

2 great bait choices!! Love them both & I'll sometimes swap out 1 or both of those for a swim jig and/or Ned rig. Those 4 baits are my year round staples depending on the day.

[@pine0981]

I like your plan on this, confidence is the key!

[@brucegilson6187]

That’s awesome information GMan I’m glad you and one3 fishing are getting it done I love my one 3 gear

[@Wired2Fish]

Thanks Bruce. Yeah, Gerald is working with 13 Fishing now. Good things to come from the product development side of things.

[@patrickmahoney3479]

There is beauty in simplicity. Keep it simple and just fish.

[@gordonfreeman1700]

Love the videos, About to try my hand here at the Ozarks! Keep em Coming!

[@Ojb_1959]

My two confidence baits are crickets and red worms on cane poles. Thank you very much 🤙🤓

[@michaelservedio2219]

Yes Sir Gerald!... so easy to get lost in the world of a million baits Being pushed and promoted. Just as easy to forget that the obvious, and the most simple is usually the best way. Confidence breeds success... I try and remember that before I spend hours throwing all my fancy stuff, and catching nothing.. sometimes it just needs to be said... thanks

[@Wired2Fish]

Awesome Michael, thanks for tuning in and sharing your thoughts on the matter. G has a knack for cutting through the BS and keeping it real.

[@mikefurness1598]

G-Man has it right! Sometimes I will fish a fluke instead of the green pumpkin Zoom trick worm. Confidence baits for me are the same. They just plain work!

[@davidwright1093]

I love your common sense approach.

[@Wired2Fish]

Appreciate the comment David!

[@richardraabe2789]

For the longest I couldn't get bit with a jig. Bought one of the ballin out and it happened. 5 pounder money brown. My go to baits are Texas rig and a ballin out jig

Anyone ever see a video comparing using a low gear ratio to high gear ratio reel to get fish to the boat?

The Mathew Mconnahay of fishing 🎣 👌

[@jonathongoldsburg]

Dude I was think the exact same thing lol. His voice and pronunciation is so similar.

[@muskybites505]

Agreed. But maybe Mathew Mconnahay is the Gerald Swindle of acting 🤣

[@Wired2Fish]

You know it

[@saloed86]

Alright alright alright , gotta pump those numbers up , those are rookie numbers ! He should adopt the theme and run with it it would be funny and he would be a lot more memorable to pl as that guy ! Like his style though 😎

Can you tell us in a video, if you use fish attraction on your choice of lures?

[@luckylucky9006]

Gerald I am just getting back to into fishing and I currently use a green go to rod by googan and has done me good so far. However I am wanting to get into crank bait fishing pretty heavy and I like to know what kind of rod at a price point no more than $200 bucks should I truly get. I have been hearing alot about glass rods but again I been away from fishing for at least 20yrs I personally would like your honest & professional input on crank rods thank you & God bless you & ya family..

[@ashleywynn4923]

Havent watched yet but I’m guessing a brown jig is one of them as he has said it before. Lets watch and see. I was close he said green pumpkin brown jig.

[@robertstone3417]

Gerald, Can you tell my why you prefer 13 Fishing Omen Black casting rods for your confidence baits and Tackle Warehouse doesn't even stock according to the website?

[@StevieB40]

Matthew McConaughey starring as Gerald Swindle will be a great movie!

[@Wired2Fish]

We will start writing the script ASAP!!

[@Mr0TRANT0]

Gee when you use the z craw for your jig trailer do you cut any of it off? If so how much?

[@WolfPackOutdoors211]

Spinnerbait, jig. Thats it. I fish for a living all over the country. 45 tournaments a year. I keep it simple they work everywhere.

[@albertalexander2347]

2:05.. couldn't have said it better. Getting bites changes your attitude...

[@clintrench6850]

I went to the store and was like y’all got the z craw they said no I was like what that’s the best bait on the market . Oklahoma fish like the black purple flake . They can’t resist it .

[@regford3572]

I'm throwing a black and blue jig even if I'm in Timbuktu and some Texas rig green pumpkin plastic

[@DAlexKablack]

Lol I've been throwing a texas rigged finesse worm exclusively since I started fishing like 2 months ago. Lots of fish

Nice!! You're off to a smart and strong start. Good luck the rest of this season.

[@amorton94]

1:27 HA! Well jokes on you! I can't throw a texas rig in that tree and get it out either. Guess that means the joke is really on me. 😂

[@RAW040]

Is there any benefit to using a 3/0 over a 4/0 EWG when fishing a Texas Rigged Senko? I see people using both, but can't figure out when a situation specifically warrants using a 3/0 over a 4/0 or vise versa.

Thanks for the assist Nate.

[@user-sh2mk8ew4c]

G will be in the Hall of Fame. I say Texas rig worm and a spinnerbait. A spinner bait is the most versatile bait there is. You can change the blades, the weight, color. Fish it in all depths. The possibilities are endless with a spinner bait. Fish it in all depths.

[@corykent7]

My favorite angler of all time, hands down. The man is the definition of confidence, has more heart and passion for the sport of competitive bass fishing than two handfuls of a lot of today's greenies. Last but surely not least, and above all else, he's a God fearing, gun toting, bass fishin', red blooded AMERICAN family man. Amen to that brotha-man! Come on back now, and lets hear about them there dude wipes that you should be the CEO of!!

If I only had 2 lures to pick I'd have a quarter ounce strike king lil money spinnerbait Colorado blades and a 6 inch zoom junebug lizard Texas rigged.

[@OhMyLarryFishing]

A bite builds confidence and confidence will get ya more bites. (Read it a couple times) #GMAN with the JUICE

[@youtubzkoz]

Hard baits and Soft baits lol... best 2 baits!

[@5.7.0bassin2]

Now dont matter to me by no means i like both companies but wasnt gman just with lews now 13 just curious to make sure i wasnt going crazy lol

[@ChrisAWare]

He was. Rapala has bought or owns 13 fishing, and Strike King and Lews now has the same kind of thing going on. So considering Rapala to be one of his major sponsors, he started using 13. If Strike King was one of his sponsors, he probably would have stuck with Lews, like KVD, Hackney, Zona..

[@michaelhoang2468]

JIGS catch bigger fish than a shaky head most of the time in my opinion.

[@akbuilder7626]

Is that you Jerry Clower? Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw

[@jinxthecat3822]

Add a third search bait...rat-l-trap.

[@gregwilliams4201]

That's bullshit

[@morganheberling]

its just really hard to top a texas rigged worm. if you aint got one rigged on a rod, well maybe you should. a competitive bass angler taught me bout the texas rig when i was 8 years old. used it ever since.
