[@dmanswift6801]

Thank you for taking the time out to give us the tips and tricks! Info from a pro about bass fishing, especially someone with your pedigree, is invaluable to serious anglers like myself. Good luck on stage 3!!! We’ll be rooting for ya!

[@chrisboyd1408]

Great job, thanks for sharing. April is warming up after several cold nights in March.

[@dylantackes5337]

ill speak for everyone here and say of course we enjoyed the video!! go get some big ole dummies for us on Murray 🎣

[@bradhensley1134]

I love these type videos. It's so hard to zero in a particular lure style in the spring that I basically load the boat with everything I have, only to end up spending too much time on the wrong presentation. Thanks and good luck on Murray

[@gregkrukemeier2003]

I fished Murry and Russel decades ago this time of year. Clearer water seemed to be the ticket there this time of year. Good Luck JW!!!!

[@scottbrown3154]

Hey Jacob. Love watching your videos. They are really insightful. Good luck at Lake Murray. That is a wonderful lake.

[@b.r.o-fishing2290]

I was out last weekend on Geist Reservoir in Indiana and caught a 6.53. New PB can’t wait to get back out and try to get one bigger.

[@albertsweatland3238]

It's funny u brought out the Rapala floater I'm 40 an been doing that since I was 8 or so. My grandfather showed me that it never fails

[@WheelerFishing]

[@scarcheer7211]

Appreciate the tips. I’ll be on the lake the next 2 days. I had most of these already tied on. Good luck at Murray. It’s a good lake. It should be good for you boys. Tight lines! 🎣

[@johnhumphreys9732]

It’s great to have trusted advice that actually corresponds with other professionals in the industry! Todd Castledine spoke about hooks in a recent video “The Hook Up” I used that advice today and I didn’t miss a fish! I totally crushed them. I watched this and boom you reinforced it! I’ve got a lot of hooks I probably won’t ever use.

[@MassBassFishing77]

I Spent last Saturday 4/15 on the water for like 6 hours with Sean Wieda on my boat. you guys are a boat load of knowledge. Great guy he said how great of guy you are and the wealth of knowledge you have.

[@WheelerFishing]

Awesome man! Were you guys fishing a tournament??

[@maxcole3930]

Lake Murray is next for you, that's next to being my home lake, Clarks Hill is closer but Murray is only 35 minutes away. Any section of lake you prefer?

[@klaybloom5542]

Thanks so much for the video!!!

I'm from Arkansas and this week or past 2 weeks has been awesome fishing mainly with the wacky rig and crankbaits. Still waiting for the top water

[@zachshumpert8824]

Saw your truck at the landing on Murray Friday. Definitely took a pic of it. Thought it was awesome

[@matthewotis3594]

Man I bought a Silverado mh 7 3 c and blistered them yesterday on a blade. I use a cranking rod fotmr most moving baits. Your series is next. What a rod it is for $99. Can't wait o try yours out. You're the man

[@WheelerFishing]

Man let me know what you think when you do get them

[@bigdawgbassin9001]

Great video Jacob, and good luck at Murray

[@mickybullard2867]

Good luck at Murry I live 45 minutes from sharon Harris I caught some nice ones on the baby trench hog today light weight like you said my favorite lake I fish all the time

[@Twangtown7]

The price on those Redline hooks...woooo doggy!! I better not ever miss a hookup. Lol.

[@mattybassfishing]

It was awesome meeting you at Redcrest! Keep up the good work!🤙

[@randymcgee9176]

Thanks for all your videos I have switched over to all your rods and I still use the original Ducket Rods they are very sensitive and very strong and the price is Reasonable versus dobins Rods

[@theonearmedbandit8631]

Love the vids but how about location and lake breakdowns. When to fish upper vs lower end?

[@WheelerFishing]

I can start to add a little of this in each of the next few months videos

[@PHATBASSASSASSIN]

If you were fishing chatuge would you be using those same baits ?

[@ScruffyCityFishing]

Love the video man! Appreciate the expert advice. Good luck at lake Murray!

[@rodcashman4793]

Jacob great choices for this time of year. Thanks for sharing 🎣 👍

Flow glider 130 in blue gill, Keitech swim bait on a swim jig head, rapala flat side jerk bait, and a wacky rig hotdog ( senko )

[@WheelerFishing]

Small swim bait on a jig head is dang near a staple of everywhere you go

[@pricebrosracing18]

@@WheelerFishing if I’m fishing open water I’ll use a regular jig head and in brush I’ll put it on a head with a weed guard and bring through anything I can find lol love your content and channel bud! Keep it on the pad and always 5 alive 💪🏻😎

[@Blu02R1]

That Rapala black/gold jumbo jerk bait is deadly on Okeechobee, been throwing it for years!😎

[@richardbailey2518]

Popping frog already hitting hard in east NC 😎👊

great vidio

[@earlroyster4035]

Thank You Brother

[@matthewotis3594]

And that big rapala floater in the same color has caught me monster browns

[@colbyhester7348]

Good luck on Murray! Actually enjoy these videos quite a bit. They are very educational.

[@andygraham2643]

What type and size line are you throwing the floating jerkbait on?

[@dougdixon8345]

Good Luck

[@kentlee7494]

Great video, Jacob! I’ve been on the struggle 🚌 😂the last month. I’m going to take some of the baits and try to turn this thing around. Good luck at Lake Murray, I’ll be watching.

[@LarsonFishing]

Still waiting for open water here in Wisco, thinking of hitting the Mississippi River only a few locations open. Been asking on all your platforms if you are going to the TNT event here in Wisconsin I took off of work just incase you are! When in doubt whacky out😂 💪🏼😎

[@drakemiletello]

I’m ready for y’all to come down to caney and whoop them. If I can I’m gonna come and watch y’all.

[@WheelerFishing]

Right on dude make sure to say what up

[@drakemiletello]

@@WheelerFishing Yes sir, I’m going to try and meet you and DC.

[@Chiefdixon]

I will always have a swim jig tied on. Many times 2 or 3 different styles.

[@coreydirie9115]

Needed that wacky tip

[@Sovaboi]

What let’s you know you a frog might be the move beside seeing topwater blow ups or pads?

[@WheelerFishing]

Good question! I’ll make a video

[@michaelking4296]

Just wanted to wish you and the rest of the house goodluck on the 2023 trail. And I also would love share some pictures of what I've caught in the last couple of months. But I m not a technical person I don't know to send them to you can you help a old spec ops veteran please sir may God continue to bless you and your team.

[@hoovy6579]

What knot is that on your swim jig? 🤔🤔😂 Great info THANK YOU!! 😊 Just getting the tear started

[@delcrowell1273]

Your tips are great. I have your full line of signature rods, but I've found you don't have enough, 😂. If you would add a 7' - 7-2 medium fast, and an extra heavy for the bigger swimbaits, I would definitely add them both. Just a thought, and will be following you this year to your wins, and of course AOY......

[@johnnyweaver1300]

Those are some are great baits, got get some of those red line hooks, I've been catching quite a few on a lizard as for a creature bait, I hope you win this tournament on lake Murray, bring the trophy back for home team! I'll be watching!🎣

[@Glock-1]

That double Pitzen Knot on that jig is the deal! That knot is better than a Palomar in my opinion, I've had a Palomar break at the knot but I have never broke a double pitzen! Never

[@harrysample894]

Go get 'em on in the next event. Good luck even though you don't really need it.

[@MrUCL]

I fished all day yesterday and put 1 in the boat. For a total of 2 fish caught all day. Those 2 fish were caught 3 minutes apart. Don't feel bad. Be a woodpecker in a petrified forrest, stay active, choose your spots carefully.

[@allencasal]

Good luck At Murray and Great videos

[@joshmason1460]

Do they have a 17 now?? Thought it went f13 to f18?

[@jberg8159]

Ask Cliff Crochet about the floating jerkbait. I watched a video with him throwing it about ten years ago. He’s the floating jerkbait king.

[@LunkersWithLogan]

you should try out the 6th sense axle swim jig

[@cameronweeks2306]

Do you have any tips for fishing two day tournaments? I have a two day tournament coming up on the 21st and 22nd and its a high school tournament and fish on Lake Murray are swallow

What size wacky hook do you recommend

[@ScottFish-uw4pz]

Been looking for your rods everywhere today and unfortunately can’t find them in stores. Anywhere to order online?

Fun fact Brody’s uncle always carry’s a striker with him to help him slow down

[@lcswartz49]

Jacob question why don’t any pros use hook protectors they Rods In transport

[@rippinlips3565]

In the future would it be possible for you to do these baits of x month videos split into 2, 1 for smallmouth specifically and 1 for largemouth/spotted etc? I think this is a good idea but maybe I'm just a fishing nut trying to get more information out of whom in my opinion is the best to ever do it.

[@WheelerFishing]

Question from Brody: Would you be join a "channel membership" for more types of videos like these? Ex: Pay monthly to be a member of the channel to get access to more in depth style videos

[@WheelerFishing]

We've been getting pressed a lot by youtube for this type of stuff as of lately but we've been struggling finding the best way to utilize it and provide a real benefit to the members. Just spit balling here

[@rippinlips3565]

​@@WheelerFishing I would definitely consider subscribing to something like that. The longer I fish the more I understand it is the teeny tiny details that you can only gain from years of experience (trial /error, tweaks and techniques) that make all the difference in catching more fish and bigger fish consistently. There's nobody I would trust more to help me move in that direction than Jacob Wheeler.

[@miketorre16]

you know whats a killer jerk bait? the X Rap in Rainbow Trout color, Also, the Floating Jerkbaits, F5, F7 in Firetiger color. EPIC

[@RobertAst-bq8tj]

Love you're videos, but I disagree on how you tie the Palomar knot. If you go if you start the line from the back side of the hook it's much better. Try for yourself with a straight shank hook both ways. Then drag the hook between your thumb and index finger and you'll see what I mean. Thanks for your great content.

[@chadwoodward2402]

Nope that big rapala F18 doesn't work. You should definitely give up on the bait ;-).

[@andybales7318]

3-4" finesse bait & Livescope...that's all the "pro's" need these days..the angler that sees the most and/or biggest fish on their video game wins...👍

[@lansemclain6175]

Not to tell one of the best fisherman around what to do but don't put the jig down. Just go crappie colored. It kills in April.

[@ryonwilson2950]

Dang bro give them a tip but don't show them the juice worm color.😂
