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.

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!!

[@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!

[@USMC-lr8th]

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

I swear thats me for Senkos. I have a whole bag of like 8+ colours. Always nice to try different niche colours

[@richardq8485]

I have about 90 pounds of soft plastics. I use.....2. pounds of them. But I love playing with all the baits .....lmao.

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@RDTheCajun]

You rock brother old vid but I’ve watched ‘em all!

[@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!

[@totalannihilation9065]

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

[@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.

[@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 !

[@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!

[@duececassel22]

From a beginner, i love and appreciate you.

[@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!

[@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

[@trickytrav88]

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!

[@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.

[@jayblemsin4226]

Get a kayak or a float tube it’s a game changer

[@DominatinDorito]

Yeah thats what ive heard from a lot of pros, and for most people who just do fishing as a hobby getting only these colors has the most return on investment for being on a budget. There are certain scenarios where different colors might be better but the roi of getting new colors really goes down after these three are taken care of.

[@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!!!

[@Pussmash]

Fishing kayak and you had never used a Texas rig? That's kinda crazy lol I gotta ask how you're doing in the hobby now? Since it's been a year

[@matthall8378]

@@Pussmash I started using round bend instead of ewg and now I can texas rig and get solid hook sets. I also got 2 medium heavy rods so that helps also. I still use wacky worms. I got all kinds of stuff now. My kayak is a mobile bass pro shop. 😂 So far this year I caught 270 bass. I use fish angler to keep track.

[@urbanrain3622]

Not going to lie bro. I thought your videos were corny at first - that’s just my generalization (ignorance really) - and I kept searching topics and you were consistently the top video. Well, you and Kickin’. So I watched one, and now I have watched them all. Thank you for your help, because you have done exactly that, help. Fishing is global and its language is universal. You also helped me learn that. I apologize for jumping to conclusions.

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@KephasIsStPeter]

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

[@benroberts6849]

[@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!

[@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!!

[@TylersReelFishing]

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

[@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.

[@_Lorant_]

Hi, loved the vid! It was fun to see 2 pros have quality arguments. Learned a lot, while having fun! Ohh and tried bass fishing with senkos, ohh maan what a slow booring method😀. I am used to rip that jerbaik on the surface with full speed for an asp to jerk the rod outa your hands🙃. I am from eu so that is why.....

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. 🤣

[@bankfishinglife9797]

Nice skit for the intro 😄 match the hatch is the safest route. Green pumpkin or or any shad pattern.

[@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.

[@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.

[@shanemichaelwhitehead]

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.

Well done Tyler. Comolicated subject that you simplified in a sensible way.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Love to hear it!

[@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

[@tb0632]

"See honey! I told you hard-fighty was a word!!"

[@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?

[@WNWMusic]

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

[@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 🙌

[@feelsbadman6595]

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

[@TylersReelFishing]

Thanks so much!

[@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

[@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

[@Brothernick3]

Hey Tyler I have been catching fish on crank baits lately on a 7 foot medium heavy action rod fast tip what crank bait brands would you recommend

[@incognito5508]

Expride, gloomis, mega bass, and st croix. Also everything about that was fine but u want a moderate fast action to absorb some of that cranking and slower gear ratio like a 6.3.

[@Outdoor_Jack]

@@incognito5508 ok thanks for the tip but I can’t afford any more rods right now and I’ll probably just go with strike king lures

Case in point. He’s catching bass with the finesse worm, creature bait, and a spinner in the video. I do think bait color, shape, and presentation matter, but when the fish are biting, they’ll eat almost anything as long as it’s “close enough” what they like to eat.
