[@texbassman681]

“I thought you were going here...” “No, I thought we talked about that...” you guys are hilarious... The amount of knowledge that you have shared cannot be measured; Thank You....

[@tacticalbassin]

Ha! We're happy to do it!!

[@legionssb]

Man I love how you guys don’t over edit stuff! Keep up the goofiness!

[@brandonwalmsley1863]

You can tell they are friends first. It’s the best part of these videos.

[@johnwolff1043]

Yes. Leaving all the “behind the scenes” conversations in the video is great.

[@derekwilliams6403]

Absolutely

[@legionssb]

@@brandonwalmsley1863 lol yea that’s what makes them the best!

[@legionssb]

And to go with it, one of the best Tim fails was the “slutty” retrieve... jeez Tim

[@hankwilliams999]

Tim's grin as he slowly looked back at the camera after the finesse jig confusion absolutely killed me

[@peterreed7445]

You prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know a trick to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost the password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me

[@caseyronald3889]

@Peter Reed instablaster ;)

[@peterreed7445]

@Casey Ronald I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@peterreed7445]

@Casey Ronald it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much you saved my ass!

[@caseyronald3889]

@Peter Reed no problem :)

First thing Friday morning getting up watching tactical Bassin with cup of coffee. Does it get any better? OK maybe… If I was in the boat right now. LOL

[@iiChucklesx16x]

LOVED the little banter in the middle... "I thought you were going to go here" "no, this leads you to that" "oh" "how bout you do that one" lmao

Abbot and Costello talk Jigs and Trailers, part of the "Who's on First" series. Thanks for all you do and thanks for the laughs.

[@johngill9071]

7:45 that conversation was hilarious. I'm so glad you kept that in

[@vibev2948]

I love your guy’s channel and how you put everything in the description. One of the best insightful and informative fishing channels IMO. 🤙

[@makcatchem9614]

Love the no cut editing mid way there. Shows you guys are not robots but real people lol

[@tacticalbassin]

🤣 When you're talking about that many baits over that many days... its bound to happen. Glad you got a kick out of it!

[@brandonknuckles48]

PROBABLY THE BEST UNEDITED CLIP EVER.....LOVED IT..........VIDEOS ARE ALWAYS AWESOME BUT THIS WAS ONE FOR THE HIGHLIGHT REAL

[@luisrosario1868]

As always great very insightful info, with alil comedic confusion, that was so awesome😅😅😅😅😅😅😅💪💪💪💪😆😆

[@tacticalbassin]

Ha! Glad you enjoyed the vid... even with a little chaos thrown in 😂

[@HBeretta]

I'll tell ya...these jig buyer's guide vids are among my favorites.

[@TropicalMoose275]

The back and forth between you two was hysterical 😂😂😂 fantastic video my dudes!

[@JoseMartinez-dq4km]

Great tips I am just amazed at how you two work so well together like fishing soulmate would love to learn how this relationship stays so strong it’s hard to find a great fishing partner who is on the same page

[@huntermemmott3039]

This blooper is the best thing I love that you didn't editi it out or anything like that

[@williampope5188]

So glad y'all didn't edit out the "jigfusion"! True friends...hilarious.

[@SoapyChip94]

I’m 26 and this year was the first time I’ve ever got into fishing. Your guy’s videos are so helpful! Thanks for what you do!

[@hookedonthebite4307]

I love the debate happening mid video 😂😂 like no plan just get into it and go

[@bond3737]

man I am straight up addicted to those leaches your company makes I bought one in every color and they all produce fish

[@jimmylarge1148]

I love dirty jigs but tried the 6th sense ones this year and fell in love with their screw locks. They saved me so many trailers this year and has just as big or bigger selection of colors.

[@rodroyal1779]

I had a real problem with 6th sense weed guards. Too light to keep weeds off the hook.

[@socalbassboy]

Another great video guys! It’s crazy to see how much the channel has grown! I’ve been watching tactical since the beginning 🎣 I’ve learned so much!

[@creighart]

Having a rough day at work but you guys just changed that around. i was geeking when you guys were going back and forth about what bait Tim was gonna talk about next. Thanks

[@Bluezkat1]

U guys got me on the Cali swim jig, and I’ve never looked back! Such an awesome bait to cover water with, one of my all time favorites. Nice work boys!

[@heinrichkellogg7563]

I’ve done my part to support you guys. I’ve ordered $4000+ worth of products this year thru Tackle warehouse via your links from your videos. This does not count all the stuff still on back order. I personally enjoy and can make time to watch your videos in their entirety if they are a maximum of 15-20 minutes long. Keep up the good work and Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.

[@tacticalbassin]

Merry Christmas! Thank you for all the support. We appreciate you being a part of the Tactical Family and are glad to hear you're enjoying the videos.

[@KJ_OriginalYT]

Hahaha I love you guys. Such good info. Matt: how'd that happen Tim: I don't know you did it 🤣🤣 Thank you guys for that laugh and not editing it out!

[@garycanfield699]

Good stuff guy's. I love jig fishing too. Hope you enjoy Tennessee

[@andrewgilmore3186]

Hey guys, hope you two and your families have a fantastic Holiday season. Really have learned a lot from your videos.

[@LargeMouthLunkin]

Watching you two work out the baits was awesome. True teamwork. Great videos as always!!!

[@nrt440]

Great natural video 😆😆😆, keep the great info coming 👍👍👍. I’m learning so much . Nigel ( Chicago)

[@timmcc1044]

Great perspective you guys bring to each topic, and the insights are very much appreciated. But, dude, as a fan of the Tbassin team, you do that to Tim alot.

[@solaydbak]

I love watching these guys. Sometimes it seems like Tim wants to kill Matt. Hahaha. You can tell they spend a lot of time together.

[@jimmcculloch5825]

I have been waiting almost a week for my last TW order to ship, so I thought you should maybe stop doing these guides. Then I decided I could wait--keep doing them.

[@bassinbilliards6279]

I'm very happy you mentioned the longer handle section on the new Zodias. I have the 7'5" so it hit a home run. 👍

[@brianlee9074]

Thanks for the video guys. Jig fishing is my favorite, and your videos definitely help. Uncut, uncensored, and great info. Happy Holidays to you both and your families as well. 🎅🤘😷🎣🙏

[@kenbrown5449]

I liked how ya'll were talking quietly when discussing the order to go in... lol! (don't worry, we didn't hear a thing!)

[@jpneves8006]

Thanks to you guys I got myself an IMX-PRO 844 for jigs paired up with a Curado K and haven't put it down since! Also, you can now get the MBRs in the E6X line up as well

[@kylemattix5561]

I have really come to love the micro jigs. I put alot of time in this year perfecting them. Excellent bait. Caught my PB smallmouth this year with PB&J zman micro jig, zman ned bug trailer on it. Love the videos guys🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@YoZeb93]

Would love to see you guys talk about queens tackle hammer head jigs. Great video and thank yall for all the work you put into these!

[@tylergrasky8077]

You guys are killin me!!! The compact jig colors are all amazing and now I want to buy all of them but my bank account can’t handle it😂😂

Was hoping for a throw down over the confusion. Oh well maybe next year. Keep up the great videos guys!!

Maybe next year 😂😂

[@codyburns2595]

Love the videos you guys put out! Just wished all the tips worked on my home lake. Super tough place to fish!

[@monzsterman]

New Sub, been watching your vids while wrapping xmas presents. Thanks for breaking jigs down. Just started fishing them this year. Never had the confidence to use them but I am just started to learn lake fishing. Always done rivers.

That gave me a good laugh. Thanks for the info!

dude are they in the same field every video? Also, Big Dady Tim's face was priceless!!!!

[@kenmccarthyfishing]

🔥🔥Slam dunk once again Matt and Tim 🔥🔥

[@therealpatrickstar1]

When you are talking about jig rods with tactical bassin. Tim stays quiet because Matt has an addiction

[@gobybryant1001]

Same way Matt is when Tim is talking finesse gear

[@hunterjarnigan7220]

I keep it the kiss method. Only throw black and blue and green pumpkin and 2 different types of trailers. I may be missing out on catching more fish but I still catch a ton

[@dudemcgee256]

That Peewee football jig has been a secret on our highland reservoirs. Ultra clear water and it just gets bit. I guess the secrets out now!

[@legionssb]

Bad start to the day, saw the notification and that sure cheered me up! Thanks guys!

[@legionssb]

The last few years I’ve become fond of the 6th sense swim jigs.

Thank you guys so much for the awesome work that you do so I don't have to 😂😎

As always love these vids!! i need to up my jig game... haha great info!! i assume the budget combo is the shimano slx?

[@RickJJohnson247]

Lol, great vid, loved the interaction!!👍

[@bradenwebb3675]

You guys need to check out the TackleHD Hi-Def Craw because it is the ultimate clear water craw bait. It is a photo realistic craw bait that was tweaked to have the right action.

[@kennethsmith2752]

Great info fellas!

[@scottturner5541]

Thanks guys

Would love to see a video of top water walking baits like Heddon spooks and others 😀

[@tylermitchem5413]

Any chance y'all have had an opportunity to play with the Megabass Levante rod series? I'd love to know how that Braillist compares to the Orochi XX model.

[@PEC7120]

Please do a video on fishing lowland resivors with little cover (featureless shorlines), and relatively small amounts of structure.

[@georgepalmer4938]

Great video thanks for tips on rods i loose a lot of big fish when they jump. Hopefully the rod is the problem. Could it also be the line I usually use braid

[@DoubleBogeyBass]

Have you guys ever tried any of the Bass Union jigs?

[@larryvilla6869]

Not sure if you two have tried them or seen them yet, but z-man has a new grub trailer that can be used for jigs bed rigs and texas rigs as well called the goats. You should try them out especially for the bed rig since they have that same action as a rage craw or rage bug.

[@emerytwyman5951]

Huge fan! Never miss a video. I just got my hands on a 7'6 mh extra fast to add to the arsenal. What would you guys throw on an extra fast?

[@Madmok128]

i've been having a lot of luck with the strike king denny brauer pro jigs with either the summer craw googan baits or rage rail watermelon red and the black and blue wirh the first section bit off. but i'm having an issue with hooking them.

[@rubenvillalobos333]

Nice guys

[@acon2834]

use those Zman Ned Craws on a Strike King Bitsy jib, very realistic claws, great action

[@jamesamaro]

Jigs my fav

[@kjve9009]

My personal favorite jigs are the kast king rattling jig, and the Googan juicy jig. For heavy cover... If it IS needed, I'll go th the Thicc jig with a robot worm... ik but I slam 5+ pounders with that setup. But for numbers game, again rattling from Kast King, and Juicy from googan.

[@nathansilverburg3279]

You guys ever consider trailers with floating claws? If you do and recommendations?

[@RonnieRobinsonOutdoors]

Hey Guys you were talking about using a spinning rod with the finesse jigs what is your favorite rod and reel setup Thanks!

[@andrewnickeson6815]

Looking for a sub 300 worming/finesse jig rod. Really wanting something with the most sensitivity with good tip.

[@V1Sim]

I have been on a swing-head jig rampage lately, I have gone back through some of your videos and looked at the suggested rods, and saw a few options. My question now is if you were going to go throw swing head jigs all day 3/8-1/2oz for a week what rod would you bring? Thank you TB!

[@rottenrottie1515]

What are the plus and minus of vertical jig eye and horizontal jig eye .

[@phiology1983]

I'm swim jig junkie. I always have a Swim jig tie on.

[@barryhart1647]

Can you do a video for people that do not have a boat and have to bank fish? We cannot use lures that go deep. What works for you if you bank fish?

[@twopassionsfishing386]

Good info friend

[@brandonknuckles48]

Spinning rod....... what's a good spinning rod for the micro jig fishing 1/2oz head

[@scotts8587]

Also curious about this. I just got a few of the keitech micro jigs and the are very compact with a much lighter wire hook. I am going to try them on a medium/fast (st croix premier) but won’t be able to fish it until at least spring.

[@brandonknuckles48]

@@scotts8587 I'd like to have a good spinning rod with a backbone I fish deep clear water and it would help.me tremendously to have a spinning rod like this for micro jigs and even floating worm we tend to have to fish a floating worm 16 to 20ft and it's hard to throw a weightless worm and set the hook hard enough to get em good due to using a noodle rod

[@kesterharding1819]

I'm in Florida should I get the expride 7'11 for pitching and also use it as a jig rod due to the grass or do I need to also get the Braillist? I'm fishing from a Kayak so, I'm only carrying 6 rods. I'm trying to get rods that can do multiple applications.

[@northeastgiants775]

You know what Tim was thinking 🤔 when matt said beat your way through lmao

[@garretttracy5308]

Have you guys ever used any of the jigs from "All-Terrain Tackle" I have found them to be excellent quality, and I swear by their rattling jigs! Great video as always!

[@SuaSponte75]

Its basically a dirty jigs promotion since they have a signature series of baits with them. Good jigs for sure. But like all terrain, there are other good jig companies out there.

[@andrewvolcom11]

Have yall tried any of the beast coast jigs? They make football finnese and pitching jigs with tungsten. Just curious if yall had any input or comments on them. Thanx fir all you do for the industry

Tim - what jig would you use for LOP this coming February into Spring & spawn?

One of my favorite jigs is by Outkast, stealth feider.

Yes!

Ughhh I’m itching for buyers guide season My wife isn’t lol I spent 4300 using you TW links last Black Friday week. I’m gonna need to sell some rods to get ready for this years!!! Cuz now I’m into Striper

[@christopherbenson1890]

I would love yalls opinion. My significant other is building me out a new jig rod for Christmas. We are going with the St Croix Legend extreme. However, I am torn between the 7' MH and the 7'4"H. I am used to fishing the Dobyns Champion Extreme (743 & 744) and the Xtasy. I usually throw 3/8 and 1/2 80% of the time. Havent fished a St Croix so looking for comparison of action and power differences.

[@rickdrake8198]

Thanks for info! Heading to Mexico in Feb. In your previous video "Is bass fishing in Mexico worth it?", Tim lost a big fish fishing a jig just past the 6 minute mark. What was the trailer used? Looked like a senko type bait rigged wacky style on a jig. Looking to fish for my PB...your help is appreciated.

[@jameserickson1330]

I see you guys have the hydrowave there. Use it much? Would you buy again?

[@devinjarko904]

Help me out guys? the bite is getting very tough. fisheries around me are freezing or frozen but unsafe to ice fish. also a lot of the fisheries around me have stunted fish. what is my best bet in catching numbers from the bank? mostly clear water situations.
