Matt, Tim! This was a great video!! I have been watching and learning from Tacticalbassin since Matt was in a drainage ditch teaching me how to retrieve a hud, maybe 10 plus years ago. The past couple of years, I have been picking one or two NEWER techniques to fish really hard, and add them to my toolbox with confidence. Last year I bought a jig-specific rod and a million jigs and fished a jig from winter to fall. This year was a jerk bait(and related baits like the karashi). Watching your video of gear and baits has really helped learn where to start, how the advance in the technic. However, these videos with the actual retrieves and the visual of the baits working, ARE A HUGE HELP! Sometimes, I learn I am not working the bait correctly, or I think I am but I realize I am over working the bait. Other times I learn that I am fishing it correctly (How you recommend to fish it, at least to start) and it gives me the confidence to keep at it. For example, Jig fishing this past winter, I had SO many days I went out to my main lake point and got skunked. You always doubt yourself on those days, is it my bait, the color, the line, am I working it to fast or to slow. Your videos helped me know all those elements were good enough, and the element I needed was to stick with it, and wait for a fish in the area and in a jiggy mood. I cannot tell you how many baits, I have fished for a day or a week and put it away completely, because of the doubt. I finally got that one thump, from a 6.5 spotted bass, as it was snowing. Now I know!! Lol. I put away a jerk bait years ago, thinking it just wanted a player in my lake. ( A smallmouth/spotted bass lake! I thoughts the jerk bait want not a player!! ) based on your videos I put in the work this year, enjoying the rabbit hole, ended up with a 18 fish evening, off the end of a boat launch! Almost every cast for an hour straight. THIS video showed me, that I have been working the Karashi correctly, but also added some different retrieves I had not tried! Anyway, just wanted to drop a comment, and tell you guys how much I enjoy your video. I have learned so much! I especially enjoy the video with the retrieves, it sounds silly, but being reminded by example that a slow drag with a jig in the winter is the best bet, helps me stick with it. Thanks guys! Please keep it up.

I usually fish the Chick because I live close by the reservoir. I have fished the silver shad color from super slow to nearly a straight reeling it skipping across the top. The largest L.M. that I've caught so far was 7lb9oz bass that hit it after I had reeled it in so it skipped about as fast as shad do when they're being chased across the top of water while I was piddling around fishing after supper a couple days ago in one of the ponds I have on my property where I live. I have also caught literally dozens of ½lb to up over 2lb bluegill that are the size of the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket in my ponds. I like a Phenix Feather 7'7" light action spinning rod on 100% Japanese flourocarbon with a loop knot or a little split ring. I leave the tail long but I trim the outside flash a 'bou a tiny bit near the last 3/4 of it so that it's not quite as of a drag on the bait and it chops better.

The 1st 4 or 5 I bought when I punched under your site took me to the floating type Can you change the hooks on them and make them sink

There aren't two types, it's a slow sinking vait. However, lures behave differently at different water temperatures. You may want to revisit it and see if they're truly floating, or just very slow sinking.

Do you ever clip the Feathers or leave it on at all times?

Messing with them too much will alter the action. I fish them with a stock rear hook and full feathers.

I have the Cashion element bfs rod 6’10 Fast, Med-Lt 4-10, 1/8-7/16 oz. And an Ark Gravity bfs baitcaster. I am sure the reel is fine and can I get away with this rod with the bait or do I need to get another rod thanks.
