Swimbait season has officially begun. Getting multiple bites on the DRT Tiny Klash.

Getting into the fall season and the fishing is still pretty tough. We have been getting some regular cold fronts and with the weather sustaining these cooler temps, I have been throwing some swimbaits. Today was the day it all worked out and I had a few bites throwing one of my all-time favorites, the Division Rebel Tackle Tiny Klash. Today I went small lip with a v-tail which gives the bait a rolling action that throws a lot of light as it flashes from side to side. Basically, I treat this mode like it's a big squarebill crankbait. I give it some moderate fast reels with several intermittent pauses. Even though it is a very easy, low effort retrieve, it gets absolutely clobbered. For someone like me fishing out of a small kayak, when the wind picks up and it is impossible to keep good boat positioning, a no brainer retrieve can make all the difference between enjoyment and utter frustration.

Yes, those were some Nicefish 👍

I want one of those drts but man are they spendy

[@anarchyfishing476]

They are, but for all the different modes and actions you get with one bait, it is worth it. Thanks for watching.

Where you using stock lip on drt

[@anarchyfishing476]

It was probably the roll lip, since I was fishing fairly shallow.

Glad to see someone is catching good fish here. I went to lake Estelle based on your video and caught 10 in a 3-4 hour morning. Question : I know you love glide baits and I’ve never fished with one. Seem to do the trick. What is your rod/reel/line setup when fishing these huge baits?

[@anarchyfishing476]

Glad to hear you did well at Estelle. It has historically been a good place to catch numbers, but it also has a solid population of 2 - 4 lbers swimming around. For glide bait setup, I really just shoot for the most parabolic rod I can get that has the appropriate lure rating. 1-3 ounce baits on a Low Down Customs Workshop ML swimbait rod, 3-6 ounce baits on a Irod Air Baileys swim rod, 6+ ounces on a Irod Genesis III Baileys mag swim rod. I'm using straight fluorocarbon, 18 lb for the smaller glides and 20 lb test for the bigger ones. Generally using a 200 to 300 size reel around a 7.1 gear ratio. Holler back if you have any more questions.

Ya I think out of the 10 I caught 2-3 were in that range. Thanks so much for the detailed reply and pointing me in the right direction. I have a setup that checks all those boxes. Thanks for all the content. I’ve discovered some good spots and added some to my list based on your videos

@@thomasduke7953Excellent stuff. I am glad the videos have helped, even if only a little bit. Thanks for watching.
