[@mikeharris130]

Hello Matt, Mike Harris here. I ran into you at Grasshopper late today (Monday, March 4). I had the old yellow Ranger that had the motor painted yellow. Just wanted you to know i got on, off the water and home safely. The old girl still runs just fine and the trailer got me there and back safely from Varnell, GA. I know my FIL was smiling down from above. That old man was the best smallmouth angler I had ever been around. Thanks for talking a minute to speak. I know everyone wants some of your time everywhere you go. Enjoy your videos very much.

[@tacticalbassin]

It was great to meet you, Mike! I'm so glad to hear it ran well and you got on and off safely!

[@amyb9486]

Thank you for these videos! As a woman who loves to fish I feel in the minority! I live for the next moment I can get out on our Ranger on our home lake (South Holston) and chase smallies! Your videos help me and make me want to be a better fisher-woman!

[@edwardcowan7012]

The underspin is a great lure any time the water is below 50 degrees. I live in PA and I catch fish on an underspin until the lakes freeze and again starting the day the ice gets off the lake. The big difference here is Bass are moving shallow before the ice goes off. This is due to the yellow perch start to move shallow to spawn while the ice is melting. 53 and rising in the early spring is buzz bait time! What you are doing is more like what works in 40 degree water in late fall. I assume the difference is do to the forage base.

[@PursuitofGameOutdoors]

Blade bait has also been good for us up in Michigan! Water temp 40-45 Here’s a video from a couple weeks ago kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3XHfnp-gbSAfM0si=I1UR1_0gT32TXvDN

[@7Kustom]

Awesome video!!! Matt my question is… how much did you rely on your live scope while strolling with the underspin? Be honest with your fan base please and share how much you’re watching the lure fall to the bait ball and getting the reaction bite using FFS. Thank you for the great content as always!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks Thomas, it was fun! That's an interesting question. I really don't use live that way. I find that most fish are already adapting to the ping of forward facing sonar, so when I am using it, I tend to scan around for fish, then point it away and make my casts blindly. I've seen plenty of videos of guys triggering fish throughout the water column but that has very rarely been my experience. It's an awesome tool but for the most part I do way better using it as a general locator.

[@7Kustom]

@@tacticalbassin thank you Matt for your fast response as I know lots and lots of people are commenting on this video. I appreciate your answer more than you can understand because I’m on the fence about forward facing sonar and getting it for my boat. I would use it exactly how you described using it, find the bait ball and turn it away and cast blindly. Thank you again for being one of my most favorite fishing channels to watch and I hope to meet you and Tim one day and shake both of you guys hands and say THANK YOU!!!

Hey guys, it would be awesome if you could do a video feed out of your live system like they're starting to do on BASS and MLF when you use your Live imaging. It would be very beneficial to see what you guys see on live when mid-strolling or whatever. Just a thought... Thanks for all the great videos!

We're working on that 👍🏼 We don't use it all that much, so it would only be in certain videos, but it's on our radar.

I went out yesterday at 5:45 and same deal.. Cold air temps, 52-53° water temps. I put 5 in the boat before 6:30 on a Spro Little John in red craw. Rest of the day was slow but that early morning bite was awesome

[@tacticalbassin]

Awesome!! Thats such a fun little crank to throw.

[@StevenR_Fishing]

@@tacticalbassin Do you guys happen to know of a way to keep it from getting hung up so much? I had to put it down eventually because it would get snagged on almost every cast. And the front treble was getting caught on the rear treble as well. It was really frustrating to deal with considering my hands were numb and barely working haha

[@tacticalbassin]

Hmmm... the trebles catching can be solved with a hook change. The snagging, if you mean on bottom I'd go to a stronger line (larger diameter) which will help it ride just a bite higher. I'll often throw a squarebill on 14-15 lb, not because we need it, but because I want to throw it a little shallower than it would normally work in.

[@StevenR_Fishing]

@@tacticalbassin 👍🏼 it was getting caught on branches between the lip and the line tie. Just wouldn’t come over brush very well if at all. But that is a good point about the line weight. I was throwing it on spinning gear with 20lb braid to a longer 8lb leader. Just trying to get bomb casts to the backs of the creek inlets and pockets and force a slower retrieve with 5.6:1 gear ratio. I should’ve tried a squarebill but I have so much more confidence in flat sided cranks on my fishery. The fish just seem to like that tighter action where I fish.

[@erikanderson1142]

Awesome videos always got to love on water videos! Just a future video suggestion would like to know what contributes to you guys deciding between BFS gear and standard finesse gear. What makes you decide to use a baitcaster or spinning rod on each particular bait or in what specific conditions. Just a suggestion thanks for always giving us good content

[@tacticalbassin]

We can definitely cover that it's all about rod motion to work the specific bait. Strolling for example, is much easier on spinning. If I'd had the right BFS rod with me, the underspin would have been awesome on BFS!

[@CustomCraftedConceptsllc]

Great video guys!! Perfect timing for this season, keep up the great work!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you!

[@davidhidalgo5662]

Finally got a couple Magdrafts and they stink. What do you do for scent? Do you store swimbaits with scent on them? Do you just apply scent while fishing? How do you get that smelling plastic scent off swimbaits? What is your scent regiment?

Just wondering if that underspin actually spins. I bought some last year from a different brand and it doesn’t spin. Reel too fast and it blows out. Also awesome vid. Thanks

[@tacticalbassin]

You just hit one of the reasons we took the time to design an underspin. We don't want to be a tackle company, we only make things when the market really needs it because it either hasn't been done or wasn't done properly. That's why we partner with the best brand for the given project and just give them the design. That way, we can focus on fishing and not on the rest of the mess that goes with a tackle company. You'll enjoy this underspin 👍🏼
