Types of Swimbaits - What you need to know (Surprise Catch)

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

If you like this video help us keep growing by sharing it to everyone you know..👊🏼 Thank you so much for all the support!.

[@TXpondking]

a little adjustment to your tips. the soft body top hook style swimbaits can be fished effectively all year round. all that changes is the retrieve speed. when using one thats 6" or bigger you want to use 50-80lb braided line and depending on water clarity you either use no leader or a 10 foot leader of fluorocarbon line between 17-25lb test. as long as there is no ice on the water you can fish it in the coldest of water and still catch fish. hope this helps everyone who sees

Kids have Superman, Spider-Man as a super hero. Well Scott you are a fishing super hero along with your dad. I enjoy every video and tip you give, it really helps with my fishing. I also enjoy the laughs and humor in the videos. Keep up the great work I look forward to a notification of a new video upload. Love watching discovery channel Saturday morning for your show.

[@grandpabrad]

What’s the name of the one you put your line through?

[@chuckcregger8527]

Scott--FLW cup champion and a million bass later. A big cat nails your swimbait and you still get excited. Speech changes, nervous, throat clearing. All of these are signs of a true fisherman, it never gets old, every bite gets the ole heart racing. You can't help it, it's in your bloodstream and very addictive. Thanks for the tips and remaining a kid a heart.

[@davidbeaver9782]

That's why we all love the green fish because it never gets old

[@twinturbodiezel898]

I was lucky enough to meet Scott at a bass expo,the guy is down to earth,funny,and a badass fisherman,thank u Scott

[@joeking6078]

His reaction to catching that cat fish had me laughing so hard i had tears in my eyes. 😂😂😂

[@graatata8279]

I've recently been trying to get into the swimbait stuff and this is the exact video i needed! Thanks Scott.

[@karmaclanton5544]

Your the man, catching fish when your teaching and not really trying!!! Got to love it!!!

[@andrewprioli5244]

I love your instructional videos! It’s so hard to find straight forward information that I can actually apply to what I try to do

[@7287287]

I loved this. More videos like this for us guys still trying to figure things out. This is a huge help. How to fish a bait is a great video to post.

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Thanks so much!

[@audio8493]

I really like these videos. I liked to fish when i was younger. (Bait on a hook see what happens) but now that I am older these videos really help understand what I am doing and I am able to teach my sons. Thank you Scott!

[@mikeking2534]

Thank you for sharing the knowledge. For someone who is just getting back into fishing these tutorials sure are helping.

[@johnmorra3640]

I have never gone swimbait fishing before but I think this spring I am going to try to do it by using these awesome tips. I really like these Fishing tips videos, Great job Scott 👍🏼👍🏼

[@6dangerousdon6]

Thank You for all your tips Scott. I've learned quite a bit from you and plan on hitting the water to try these out. Thanks again for helping to grow the sport.

[@TheRubenGalvan]

Thank you Scott for the information on these types of baits. And people, these do not only pertain to Bass, I have had perch blow up on a lure that was bigger than the fish.

[@nelsonortiz1606]

Fished a glide bait this past summer here in NC and definitely liked the action. Keep um coming Scott!

[@fishhunter3504]

Booking a guided tour with your guide system for my spring break keep up the good work

[@philpink]

Scott love your channel, love your faith, love your family and love your positive videos! Love how you treat people and think you are probably just as genuine in person as you come across in your videos! You are a man’s man and have not seen one of your videos yet that I did not like. Oh yeah love Spinnerworm also! I live in KC and love that he represents it on his Instagram! Keep up the excellent work!

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

🙏🏼 thank you

[@johncogburn302]

Really like how you make all your videos and then teach at the same time it’s great

[@Elromano1]

Thx so much Scott!! As always great tips, tricks and even a surprise catch!!! Keep it up!!! God bless and best wishes on the FLW!!!

[@douglassharretts2035]

Great info Scott. I have never been a swim bait guy but I am definitely going to try it out. You are the man!

[@nflisrigged1395]

I just got a Scott martin rod 7'6 Heavy for my A rig and s wavers Tatula 7.3:1 reel on 17lbs Fluorocarbon or braid 50lb or more.

[@Donttreadonjohn]

Awesome video as usual! Can’t wait to see your seminar at the Columbus expo this weekend!

[@kennystats]

Always give the very best and simple to understand videos and tips, thanks a bunch. Tight Lines Bro!

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

👍🏻

[@TriCSyndicate]

Very informative to someone new to swimbaits.

[@virgoviking2331]

I tried a shad swimbait the other day and loved it. Caught a decent sized bass immediately on the second cast

[@DrPsychlops]

FREAKING AWESOME VIDEO! And you catching a fish while just demonstrating was really entertaining. Very helpful!

[@bringit2099]

Very nice catch on a first cast weedless swimbait. . Always awesome to watch you fish mr. Legend scott martin. .

[@MatthewMazFishing]

hey scott! im super excited to see you at the fishing show on Feb 17th in toronto! you should go down to simcoe and try ice fishing ;)

[@kaceynicosia3731]

Love it when Scott randomly poses weird with his mouth open for the thumbnail.

[@KRDP]

im contemplating about picking up a few packs of berkley powerbait and noticed that berkley powerbait swimbait works glad i decided to do some researching Scott you just proved to me that swim baits catch catfish im buying small swimbait thanks to you scott.

[@addicted_to_fishing]

Great video Scott! Swimbaits flat catch fish. People are intimidated by the larger baits, however if that bass can get it in his mouth or think he can, he’s gonna eat it! Thanks again Scott

[@virginiabassin7176]

Watching your channel is making me so hyped for Spring fishing dude.

[@jcaoutdoors]

I got away from swimbaits for a while but im going to try to get back into them. They quit producing good fish for me here in Mississippi but with new designs out maybe that will change. I may not be able to post a vid like this but ill for sure post one of me catching some fish. Good video.

[@darrellsanbornjr2088]

Thanks for the informative video. A little jealous of your weather.

[@TruckerDan75]

Thank you, Scott. I really enjoyed this video. I would really like to see more of these ypes of videos from you on other baits as well. I really enjoy all of your videos, but I liked this one escpecially.

[@pbwilliams84]

Never heard of skipping before this video. Thank you

[@mylesmastersen3520]

Just subbed. Awesome video Scott. I remember watching the enthusiasm your Dad had on his TV show back in the 90's.

[@codydupraw6081]

Hey Scott just wondering if you can do a video on a bait caster. I'm trying to learn more about them because I like bass fishing and I loose a lot of fish.

[@Gen10civic]

Its really hard to wait this long for a new episode after youve watched every single one twice

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

🤙🏻

[@JohnSattoCH]

Love it!! Awesome tips Scott! Great video as always... Brandon! 👊

[@lukew9357]

For the S-waver or glide baits in general try a light twitch twitch after 5 or 6 turns or any amount of turns you like, but that light twitch twitch is deadly!!

[@kreate6998]

Awesome video Scott, more of these please!

[@ejames7331]

Great tips. I used one of your tips. Caught what looked like a 2 or 2.5lb large mouth but it let loose as I braught it in!!

[@mulldrifterz6469]

14:40 You turn into the Bob Ross of glide baits lol.

[@IndexFossil1]

reeling real slow....that bait lives right there, just lazing the day away...

[@BottledCourage]

Thanks so much Scott. Perfect video for what I needed right now

[@robertcampbell2389]

Thank you very much for the hands on demos. I'm just getting back into my childhood love of fishing after 50 yrs away from it and your videos are like having a teacher beside me.

[@AJTheHawgfather]

Just love the Gambler swim EZ.Great video bro

[@christianklein2919]

That firs swimbait shown never lets me down!

[@mattinthehat22]

Love these informative vids, Scott, especially when you demo the retrieve! lmao on the catfish - I caught a gar on a paddle tail with the weighted screw hook just below the dam at Lake Rousseau last weekend!

[@shawnw.mcfeely9972]

Kietechs are awesome up here on Lake Erie on the back of spinner baits

[@SellsZac]

I'm coming down from Ohio to fish a little fresh/saltwater next week. I want to go to Okeechobee a few days. Got any tips for this time of year?

[@justinsimos9224]

Love the informational videos. Reminds me of Orlando Wilson in the old days

[@chasespence4376]

Great video man your like the best fisherman and teacher

[@jodygucwa8892]

what a great video. made you feel like you were talking with you one on one.

[@masfishing1]

Thank you for the video Scott. Ive never tried swim baits and I'd like to give it a try. All i own are some spinning rods, med. Fast action, and spinning reels. Can i fish swim baits with my spinning rods/reels without having to go out and buy bait casting reel and heavier rods to see if i like fishing swim baits? If so, I live in northern Calif with fairly clear water, could i use 10 lb flouro line?

[@maryanncolunga3675]

Here in Houston,Texas fishing a lot of retention ponds with rocky bottom witch one of these baits would be best?

[@kmfw1160]

always love and look forward to your instructional videos. 👊

[@fatmaninayak1264]

Great video Scott I love me some swim baits.

[@floridabassfishing1502]

Ha! Lippin a catfish!!! That was awesome Scotty...

[@fishingwithlasharkhunter8492]

Another great video. Is there a "big swimbait" group of anglers on Lake O? Always thought big swim baits that replicate the golden shiner would work down there but I've never heard them mentioned anywhere. Good luck on the tour this year!

[@zracing14]

can't wait to see you at the Ohio expo this next weekend , will Brandon and billy be with you . tell billy to get in and come also ... I will be setup at Booth 845 and would like to get you to sign a few lures if you can for the High school teams to auction of to help fund them . Awesome videos as always . Keep em coming ...

[@FishHeadBiologist]

Great video... Which okuma baitcasting rod and reel would you recommend for an all around bass setup?

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

7.3H or 7.6H TCS Rods...8.1 Helios Reel

[@smokeringme]

Well, Scott, I know you didn't do too well up here on Lake Guntersville not too long ago. But would you have any recommendations on areas up this way during the cold weather and the TVA drawdown to a winter water level? Down there in Florida or even in California (as someone made a comment about Matt Allen) nobody really has good tips on cold water pre-spawn, spawn, and post spawn, like when the water temps are in the 40's or so. But also just so you know, I do like all your work and Brandon is a wizard on filming and editing.

[@markduvall181]

I use spray fish attractor on my lures..it really works in the rivers

[@michaelmartin6348]

Scott from one Martin to another Martin was that last bait the river2Sea s waver

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Yes it was

[@SavHabitz]

Bro at 11:02 that is priceless 😂 great video bro 🤘🏼👌🏼

[@michaeldob2153]

Great Vid! I am just wondering what do you do with the used damage Soft baits? DO you reuse them or do you throw them away? Thx

[@walterholcher9239]

Caught the same thing on a wobble head the other day got to love them kytex

[@rickortiz5778]

Nice blue cat Scott. A fish is a fish it counts lol

[@nolanminor6761]

Channel

[@comptonislife9046]

Nolan Minor Pretty much the same thing

[@dgroves85]

Did you add suspending strips to the bottom of the S Waver?

[@boomn216]

I fish in Lake Erie in Cleveland Ohio. What size Swim Bait do you suggest for Small Mouth bass?

[@bills.8254]

Keep up the great work Scott.

[@carlossolis6961]

Nice video more like this 1plz...and good luck on your next flw tournament.scott

[@brockblazier9885]

[@SteveSloanTAP]

Dude, I freaking love your channel. Moved to FL. near the Harris Chain. Any tips on fishing these lakes.?

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Did you see the Harris chain series

[@jameshendrixmizfit7364]

DOA and Egret make good Swimbaits. Egrets Vudu swimbait and DOA has BFL. Good tips as always.

[@williamalbrecht4528]

Good info darting the baits works for me also

[@terryhayes2471]

Hey Scott love the videos especially the tip videos keep up the good work and good luck 🍀 on the mondos

[@claytonscull6889]

Amazing video man! Very informational :)

[@kolbykoonce2741]

Thanks for the tips! Would love to fish with you one day, would be a dream come true!

[@SHIZZLE-ro6pb]

Been waiting for this one Scott I just recently bought a swimbait from one of those MySpace adds

[@jasonmccluskey4941]

Need help from my favorite pro. I just bought Storm 360GT Largo Shad w/ Hook Soft Plastic Swimbait. How do I keep it on or near bottom? I am using vanish fluro on a shimano 6 10 mg extra fast with shimano curado dc 8.5.1 reel.

[@hashslingingslasher6862]

Jason Mccluskey with sinkers

[@localbassfisherman]

Scott, what’s the name of the line through you’re throwing? You called it a “baby e” and an “osprey”. But it doesn’t look like either. Also, is that a 3.5 in lure or 4? What type of rod and reel were you throwing it on?

[@michaelmostardi1327]

Great video, I learned something watching this.

[@floridafishhead1071]

Could you explain what each lure catches and what each lure is for

[@THEPOWERHOUSE24]

Dang Scott how do I get on the smc so I can learn some more for my season will end up fishing Grand Lake and probably the Ozarks this year

[@TheRubenGalvan]

When I fished 20 years ago, I used a Rapala split back minnow. It was a shallow hiving minnow, and when you jerked it, it looked like an injured minnow.

[@6ft8BigJay]

YOUR SKIPPING SOUND EFFECTS ARE ON POINT

[@larrylucas6743]

Scott, enjoy the training videos. Nice cat

[@williej.allenjr.510]

Great information! Thank you for sharing!

[@onamissionfishinguideservi7054]

Awesome very good video Scott!

[@derekmathis6245]

I learned a lot from this video. Thanks for sharing.

[@Mystify333]

Thanks Scott, I really appreciate these. Great info.

[@robertweigandt9449]

Thank you Scott great video.

[@andydanneker5202]

Liked the video as usual. I have been wanting to get into swimbaits but I fish from the bank and the big baits I think would be too big for that. Also I am looking at your TCS series rods and saw the 7’3 heavy. I want to use it for frogs, flipping from the bank and swimbaits. What ones of the swimbaits would work best with that rod? It seemed most of the rods you were using are the bigger Mat Daddy rods.

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

7.3H is good for everything

[@fishboy1270]

Also dude I know it's not what you asked but I'm a 13 year old from VA and I fish like your 6-8" from the shore with no problem if you commit you will catch big ones I cough some toads last year.

[@theebestbassmaster6195]

Man I love bass fishing but I live in Arizona so its pretty hard, 6lb is my PB I wish i could fish with Scott Martin in Florda! In my dreams lol

[@mattduprau2028]

Scott, what specific TCS rod are you throwing that glide bait on? I have an order coming in end of February with 7 TCS Rods (full tournament set up), and im hoping one of which will pair well with my River 2 Sea S-Wavers (168). Would love to know so I can add onto my order if need be! Thanks, see you at the Toronto Spring Boat & Fishing Show!!!

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

7.6H or 7.3H

[@mattduprau2028]

Got both already ordered 🤣 Thanks!!

[@justinfultz5666]

I'M LOVING THE VIDS AND TIPS IT'S AWESOME I'VE BEEN IN SOO MANY CRAZY N BAD SITUATIONS BEFORE AND MOST OF THOSE TIMES I'VE WENT TO SOME OF YOUR TECHNIQUES AND THEY MADE THE DAY SOOO MUCH BETTER!!!! FOR BEING A MARYLAND MAN JUST LIKE BRIAN THE POTOMAC IS MY STOMPING GROUNDS!.!. SPEAKING OF BRIAN HOW ABOUT THAT!?!?
