We love your videos Tyler. I have a 9yr old son who has learned everything from you and your channel. It’s so rewarding seeing his passion. He picked up a rod 2 months ago for a fishing clinic here at our lake and he’s been on fire ever since. I just had to say thank you for these videos. Your knowledge, advice, personality and experience is so refreshing. I had no idea how much fun fishing would be. These past 2 months have been such a neat bonding time with him…..and knowing that he’s probably watched everyone of your videos and now I’m watching and learning. Any chance I could ask for an autograph for him? Any time your in Missouri come fish here at our two lakes here in Lake St. Louis.

[@duececassel22]

I wish

[@USMC-lr8th]

Be honest, how many of us just like collecting fishing gear? "Oooo! New color!"

[@gerald_..]

My parents said no more fishing gear. I’ve gone to dicks 2 times in the last 5 days and am going tomorrow😂

[@KeenBluntMusic]

I really like your scientific approach to explaining things. It really helps me adapt what you say to my personal waters. Also I really like looking at fishing that way, because in a sense fishing is really at its core learning what fish do and why they do it.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Amen my friend!

[@zacpearson1878]

I absolutely loved the intro, and the way I do colors is shades not specific flakes and all, but Junebugs are different between companies and can affect results

[@2ballsyourjaws]

Very specific, very professional and completely non biased. Amazing job bubba you left no room for confusion or any further questions on this topic.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Thank you Darryl!

[@nutbut5228]

Technically it’s impossible for humans to be unbiased ☝️🤓

[@sloth5817]

Thank you for all these videos. I’ve almost watched em all at this point. You got me hooked back into fishing and I’ve re-learned it all from you !

[@davidredus4097]

I’ve been fishing longer than you been on the planet but I always learn something new from your videos , keep up the great work

[@totalannihilation9065]

You're one of the few people I listen to and watch the whole video. Thanks for what you do bro.

[@benroberts6849]

I've been with you since day one...you've come so far! can't wait to see how big this channel gets!

[@Nobody2day553]

There's only 3 colors I buy to catch bass. White, black/blue, and green pumpkin. They haven't failed me yet, but I just bank fish where I can throw a lure in.

[@travisbruno5964]

Lol..that intro was genius "Jim Bob" 😂your are hilarious great job and God Bless. Im going to finish watching now.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Thanks for commenting Travis!

[@dirtysouthfishing3674]

Bro that was the best intro to a fishing video I've ever seen. You did a great job and had me laughing. It just made me want to watch the entire video. Love your content it's very informative!

[@shanewhitehead5442]

Tyler, I just came across your channel and subscribed! Amazing content! I do most all of my fishing from the seat of my kayak and recently started getting my grandson started in the sport. Young kids don't have much patience though. Anyways, I wanted say job well done with all of the information that you provide your viewers. I wish I would have found the channel long time ago. Keep up the great work!

[@MrTheWanz]

Iva had a lot of luck with orange lures due to a high amount of perch up where i go...its all about your body of water and your fish, great video and great guide, super helpful!

[@chaffiebombs]

I'm telling ya that black with blue flake senko works good on Tuesdays and Thursdays. But the June bug works on the rest of the days EXCEPT unless if it's of coarse the 2nd Thursday of the month you'll want that purple with black flake. 🤣

[@TylersReelFishing]

Haha

[@eliaslara3251]

Finally some great info about colors. Not just some dude shoving the colors that work best for him in my face! Thank you Tyler!!!

[@bass_stache]

Great stuff! Awesome info on the color selection as well. Definitely needed that for sure.

[@arniejohnsen2353]

Tyler, At 76 I’m just getting into bass fishing, I only do bank fishing and this video really taught me a lot. Thank you and keep them coming.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Glad to help!

[@mikerice8185]

Just started watching the channel. Learned some good stuff. keep up the great work.

[@allenpryor3328]

To answer your jighead color question. Black and bright colors are used all day everyday by walleye and panfish fisherman in Minnesota. Silver and chartreuse not so often. Great video!

[@FounderOf4]

I know this is a year old video as I type but this information is invaluable. Thank you for taking the time to put out this content!!!

[@travisbicklejr]

Awesome video, Tyler! I appreciate the honesty and forthrightness.

[@dabearsfan3533]

Man , first time I ran into TRF channel, for some reason I didn't want to like Tyler...lol, but here I am, a year later... a better angler, and a better human. Thanks, TRF! Keep em comming

[@TylersReelFishing]

I love to hear that!!

[@johnathonsnape-mclean3457]

I had a great day out on a clear lake in my belly boat! Im up in Canada 🇨🇦 i was using the drop shot with a 3.5 inch black leach and a 4.5 roboworm morning dawn and i was catchin everything from pumpkinseeds to a small 18inch pike! 🤘🏻they were also hitting topwater bunch of different styles from buzzbait to cricket wake bait!!

[@bigbassfishingchannelmore3781]

Just the video I needed before I started shopping for tackle. Thanks Tyler!

[@TylersReelFishing]

Make sure you shop using the links and discount codes in my video description!!

[@KephasIsStPeter]

This single video has helped me catch more fish than any other video on youtube.

[@FISHERYIN]

Thanks for sharing Tyler!

[@Brothernick3]

Love your videos man, thanks for teaching us everything you know.

[@TylersReelFishing]

[@TraceBrown]

This intro transition was flawless! Thanks for teaching me Tyler!

Very helpful thank you and keep up the good work I love watching your videos always very informative

[@TylersReelFishing]

Thanks so much!

[@ballzybaits4414]

Spot on. There are am extremely few and I mean FEW time where a certain shade of color does matter but it's so unscientific that it's not necessary.

[@duececassel22]

From a beginner, i love and appreciate you.

[@ricardopgalvan]

Never feel like a science-y approach is rambling. I'm a really technical person, and like specifications and specific information like this. It's just the way I am and the way I understand things. Thank you for your approach.

[@TylersReelFishing]

I am glad you enjoy it!

[@oldgoatvincent8005]

Fun intro today. Good, clear content.

[@torryledin7666]

Really like this video! Definitely agree that colors are more about catching anglers than catching fish

[@fishinwithryley4547]

[@TylersReelFishing]

Thank you pat!

[@jorgeguerrero4013]

Bro awesome tips 🤯 🔥🎣fishing hard this weekend 👍

[@Oldbasshole]

Great video very informative. The only thing I’d add is having confidence in the color you’re throwing. If you don’t have confidence in what you’re throwing it’s probably not going to work as well as a color you DO have confidence in

[@TylersReelFishing]

Very true! Confidence is everything in this game

[@alanwright782]

Great intro! You’re becoming one of my favorite KZbin fisherman.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Thank you so much!

[@jbirdfishes]

tacticalbassin mentioned this before in a jig video and it hit home. i simplified my jig box down to gp, black & blue, pb&j and white variations. then i keep a couple odd and end colors. ive always been this way with my plastics though. black, white, gp, purple, watermelon red and clear. ive never felt like i didnt have a color covered even when simplified down that much

[@TylersReelFishing]

Yep! Great info there

[@HigherPrime8]

Another awesome video! Thanks for the great content!

[@TylersReelFishing]

Thanks zak!

[@Outofbox11]

I think this video is one of the best beginner (like my son & I) angler video. Son and I are off to bass pro shop tomorrow for some fall baits and I will keep information from this video in mind. Can't say about my boy tho. he will end up picking out most colorful and fun looking baits. lol

[@TylersReelFishing]

So glad y’all are learning!

[@jimizxztheorginal]

My wife was very entertained by that intro! Thanks for the advice!

[@tonyduran4764]

Good stuff Tyler keep it up.

[@matthall8378]

Just got a fishing kayak and I'm new to fishing plastics (I usually fly fish) and I'm on a budget so I grabbed green pumpkin and black with blue flake to start with. I got 5 inch yum dingers for a texas rig and some 3 and a half inch sticko split tails for a ned rig. Hopefully it works! Hitting a small lake tomorrow and will use your tips. Thanks for explaining stuff. Your vids are the best Ive seen so far!

[@matthall8378]

Update. I got out today and the lake was pretty stained. On my 1st cast with a Bobby Garland 2 inch pearl minnow on a jig head I got a nice crappie. It got to my head a lil. I thought I was a pro. Well I never caught another on it 😂 but I got numerous bluegill and the bait held up the entire day. I switched then to my 1st ever Texas rig. I used Black with blue flake because of the stained water. I casted it next to a sign post sticking out of the water and let it fall and sit. I gave it a couple lifts like you said and it felt heavy so I set the hook and started reeling it in and my line just goes flying through the water right under my gfs kayak and then line went slack. Whatever it was was huge! I guess I didn't set the hook hard enough. I might not of hooked the fish but I guess I'm hooked now! Lol. Keep up the videos! I actually got a huge fish to bite my 1st ever texas rig so you must be teaching people right!!!

[@blakebuwalda951]

Lol the beginning made my day. That for deeply explaining the colors

[@TylersReelFishing]

Love that!

[@Chris-fh8uh]

Tellin it like it is ! Great info in this video

[@razahassan811]

Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, kzbin.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.

[@joshrobertsfishing]

Amazing editing but if u ask me I already knew this was going to be a great video been watching since u started

[@toddyell4440]

Tyler I agree with this video. I have also heard during high pressure or late summer you need to throw something different, something others aren't. Is that where you try different flake to your green pumpkin, blues, black?

[@TylersReelFishing]

Yes that’s when I branch out. Usually to other shades though, not usually more or less flake

[@anglingonthego1407]

Tyler has had this same intro for the longest time and yet it never gets old

[@TylersReelFishing]

Will have to change sometime haha

Great video Tyler

[@cas126]

I have green pumpkin yamasenkos and bandito bugs. I use black and blue bandito bugs. I have PB&J worms for ned rigs and texas rig. Then i have 5 of diamond spoon, red devel, fire tiger, silver and gold. So far ive gotten fat smallies and pickerel. I agree that keeping the numbers low on colors helps streamline your arsenal. Another thing is you have to take into account thats sometimes, youll have a slow day with few bites.

[@elizabethsumpter9129]

Alright! A great explanation on what water clarity is.

I’m glad you are enjoying it! Glad to have you around!

[@jasonsaunders5326]

As a new angler I have been trying different colors and I find this advice to be so true. I have narrowed my soft plastics down to just a few different colors now. I do have one question, when do you use White instead of something like Black?

[@WildandWonderfulFishing]

I feel like that piece is honestly just up to what the fish are biting

[@sasquatchsam987]

I was just asking you about colors 😄 thank you!

[@TylersReelFishing]

Awesome!

[@THIRTYONEFILMS]

Love it. Probably 98% of my soft and hard baits fall into these categories. I’m curious - how would you classify the urban ponds with the deep teal died water? Surely that’s gotta impact color rendition and visibility. Just treat it like dirty water?

[@TylersReelFishing]

Usually treat it like dirty

I love what you do keep it up😍

[@TylersReelFishing]

[@lagginswag]

5 colors generally for me for bass. Black, blue, purple, red and green or any mix of them. White if its super stained also 🙌

[@stevemclaughlin1732]

I've been killing it with watermelon red Zoom baits the last few years

[@jasperredican4987]

9:54 wavelengths! Certain shorter color wavelengths can’t penetrate water that well. Yellow, red, and orange can’t penetrate as far as blue, or violet. If you scuba dive, you can see it really well that you can find an item on the bottom that becomes a completely different color when you bring it up

[@santosgarza6367]

Awesome tip video bro and you just made it easy for my to choose my colors but if you can bro I been crushing it with the fluke even tho it’s not the clear water how everyone say I guess it that slow fall and they can see it more and I twitch it but when I do I use a 6 inch and they crush it they always got for the head first but if you can make a tip video you will make me a master at fluke fishing because no cap all the tips you gave they actually work but great tip video Tyler keep it up 💯🤙

[@jayminer9416]

What are your thoughts on some of the old school colors like Pumpkin Seed & Motor Oil? I know Pumpkin Seed was the forerunner to Green Pumpkin......and it looks similar to the Sungill color you showed. You seem VERY well versed in the ongoing "Battle of Colors" which is honestly targeted at fishermen...not fish....since you know....fish dont buy baits lmao. I'd appreciate your take on the old school colors though.

[@paulroberts2154]

This kid is a national treasure. Just subbed

[@JamFlexx]

Caught my pb today in a small community pond on a robo-worm. Weightless texas rigged and snagged about 7 other smaller bass with the same worm. My new confidence throw, i was on wacky pumpkin and many other lures getting skunked last 3 days.

Another insane video that’s got me hyped for ice melting.

[@jjlansing11]

I found your comment about a local body of water having specific baitfish and therefore leading to the use of specific colours interesting. But for me it's kind of the opposite. Where I am in Canada we don't have bluegill or crawdads so I ignore all lures in those colours... I think that's the right thing to do. Right?

[@Buckeyes216]

this is for bass

[@smolhookenergy]

'nother little tip - local walmarts especially ones with smaller tackle sections in my experience seem to carry only what works in the local waters (depending on what species you're searching for). Same with gas stations. Pay attention to what colors they stock. I love PBJ as my "light purple" from zman
