The SECRET Bait That Won $100,000! (Stage 4 Recap)

[@jamesrockhill4535]

I could use the same equipment and dress just like you right down to the skivvies and I guarantee I still would not be catching bass like you. The practice and on the water decision making sets you apart. Nice work Jacob! I enjoy trying to learn what goes on in that brain you got there.

[@frankpatriot7710]

Met Jacob at the tournament. Dude is such a nice guy. Took time to sign hats and take pics with everyone. Glad he won

[@pauleckert2175]

Great video! I am from Indiana heading to guntersville next Saturday for our annual summer bass club trip. 5 tournaments through the week and a pts tournament on Friday. Definitely going to try different baits myself that others may not be using.

[@BrianMason3636]

Congrats on the dub JW! Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences with us and giving tournament break downs. Have a safe and fun Memorial weekend pal!

[@edkelly145]

Jacob, My go to bait the last week has been a Bellows Shad(3.8") in Electric Shad color on a Devine Jig head. I watched Alton Jones Jr. win a tournament on it (pitching) and I said I had to have that lure. It proves your point exactly. The bass and crappie just love it and they have not seen it before. The action is fantastic. Thanks for sharing such wonderful intel with us.

[@gregkrukemeier2003]

Congrats. Sometimes you just gotta' get mad at em' and you got your revenge. Future GOAT back on the rise.. 🏆

[@thehedgeknightnc3681]

Congratulations on your win. Looking forward to a JW mancave tour.

[@johnnyweaver1300]

I'm so glad you won this one, I was getting worried that you maybe you were getting burned out or there's something going on in the family, but listened to the BTL podcast & found out then, you just think outside the box for figuring out what the fish may want, the bait really looks great can't wait to hear more about it!!

[@haroldrogers6566]

Thanks for being real Jacob Wheeler 😁👍

[@MikeSchmidt-qr1gb]

Awesome win dude! Congrats!! Was just there at Guntersville a little over month ago its an awesome lake!!!

[@owenbw7899]

I’ve always thought about a really cool video idea that would help a lot. The only real way to find what rod suits you best is to try them all which can be pricey. Considering you’re the Tom Brady of fishing it would be awesome if you could run through all of your favorite rod action, power, length and gear ratio for each of the most thrown baits/rigs out there!

[@toddmosley6880]

Thanks for mentioning the tip action. It makes a big difference, and yet no one seems to mention it.

[@rickscott2568]

Congratulations on the win. I fish Watts Bar often and I also believe TVA keeps the water level low too long and screw with it too often.

[@clinthibler1576]

Congrats Jacob

[@Chiefdixon]

The amount of soft plastics out there is almost overwhelming. Excited to see how this one stacks up.

[@johnnysaechao6218]

Congratulations Jacob 🎉

[@robertmckinstry7282]

Congratulations on the win.

[@thomasrobey9851]

These are the best videos!!

[@TheRecon1a]

Congrats JWHEELS!

[@Matthiaskyriakidis]

Cant wait to get my hands on those! Keep up the good work and I’ll be rooting for you on Cayuga

[@elevennahalf]

Congrats on the win!!!!💯

[@travishanson5512]

Can’t wait to pick up a stash of those Freeloaders and check out all the colors it comes in! If it’s anything like the largo Shad we’ll all be in good hands with a couple packs in our bag. Lol

[@nethiabrown1508]

Congrats on the big win

[@timg185]

Congrats! Thanks for the tips!

[@CFHang-fc3cx]

Congrats.!!..young goat satus.!!..

[@cheetoz6902]

Brother you came out of that bad place in a hurry. You are my hero

[@phenglee6084]

Congrats!!!

[@tonyrubaszewski6811]

Great video.... I use a Zoom 4 " fluke same way.... And congrats on your win

[@atamagashock]

It’s a very different bait than the 4” fluke. 6th sense has the 4” juggle minnow, which is basically the same bait he has there. I’m not saying you can’t use it in a similar way, but it’s very different action and profile

[@bamadondon0495]

They changed the drawdown for Logan Martin this year.. from what I understand it will remain that way from here on out because every winter they have always drawn that Lake down way way way too much, to the point where you could only use certain ramps to even launch your boat. But this past winter they only drew it down probably around 4 or 5 ft which to some people may sound like a lot and to some others it may not sound like much. But there has been times where that lake has been drawn down 10 ft or more during winter pool... But no more.. I think the most it will drop is 4-5 ft from here on out from what I understand which is really good and makes me happy happy happy because those coosa spots can get back in there residential areas and not have to move as much like they usually would.. uhh..DING!!

[@Parkersgrow31319]

Congratulations on your win bro 👊🏿❤️💯

[@bentleyeddins2200]

Spill tha beans!!!!😂

[@paulb351]

Congrats!

[@garyheath9531]

I really think you have enough influence to make lowering the tenn river not to happen like you said like to see you make that a priority

[@59BigWalt]

Good win J Dub

[@Unknownuser_1954]

Adrian avena had the juice bait as well. I just wish they would release the Baits before a big tournament win, that way it gives us guys that work all week, just to fish on the weekend a chance to figure the bait out, then when you guys win on it, we can put that technique to work as well. I get it, it’s all about money, but that’s also the problem; if it’s that good, the money will come, no matter when it’s released. Once companies realize integrity is better than profit, the profit will come. Maybe not as fast, but it will come!!!

[@fishingnewengland4179]

Awesome bait

[@Bass_sponge]

Look how many ppl slept on the largo last few year and I hope ppl do the same with this one so I can stock up .

[@haroldmcelroyjr6]

Lake level stays pretty steady because of depth of upper lake. Barges can’t pass if water drops more than two feet.

[@johnfanning1077]

What was the reel you mentioned in video? 2500 series, but what kind? Thanks, really enjoy your videos.

[@WheelerFishing]

Shimano Vanford 2500

[@greghiday]

Congrats on the big win. Has Rapala acquired 13 fishings plastic division?

[@liltoasty]

Hey who makes that rod holder you have in your garage? Or better yet where can I get one?

[@brandonwoodcock4374]

My hometown reservoir drops 40ft for winter pool lol. Cuts off half of the lake

[@micahc4687]

That’s right! FOMNTT! Wish we could have done better. It’s not you, it’s me. Lol

[@dwyneguitreau853]

When are the tournament videos coming

[@bxcloud104]

I think it's called Mid-Strolling, Bottom-Strolling or Biwa Rig in Japan.

[@touaevang]

When is it coming out?

[@MAB1907]

Just think if you catch a state record on an H&H black and yellow, how many would fly off the shelves !!! Congratulations on winning 🥇 !!!

[@spencercochran3908]

I wanna know what you think about the water situation in chick

[@kylefulks6735]

Jdub could go the rest of his career without a single sponsorship and still be in the run for AOY for the rest of his career

[@jasonmausteller2488]

Is that the vanford 3000? Looks like the bigger handle

[@AustinBonjourFishing]

Bro could use a hot dog on his jig head.

[@jesusisking7874]

What size hook?

[@nb738]

Did you move to a new place . will you do a tour of your place

[@MikeyFishingg]

🛎️🛎️🛎️

[@lancemabry6707]

Besides the action on the back half of the bait, isn’t this basically tight-lining except offshore???

[@dustinwalker8152]

ibaits have really caught on over here.

[@williamknight5142]

Congrats I'll be watching for the freeloader👍👍👍👍👍

[@gotech25]

It's not the bait, it's the man using it

[@jakehigdonfishing]

so your done with googan???

[@MassReelFishing]

Same same

[@bradefulle7732]

Jacob fish that swimbait thing on a 1st gen jaw dropper

[@pepesportfishing3817]

Hello please what is the name of the bait thank 😂😂😂

[@jacob.1684]

Man i know how you fill wheeler on lake lvl dropping they drop my home lake 25ft for winter pool and now the dam is haveing problems so now our new summer pool is 5ft lower also they said its gonna take 8 plus year's to fix it

[@WheelerFishing]

What lake?? I admit, it is EXTREMELY situational depending on elevation, flood planes, existing technology, etc...

[@jacob.1684]

Rough river and the other lake i fish is nolin i think they drop that one 20ft as well in Kentucky

[@TheGreatOne_99]

Might be a good hover strolling bait…..

[@mikeantes9597]

The tail looks just like a spunk shad.Flat sides and taller profile.Definetly different bait but looks like they copied that tail design.Congrats JW in the win.

[@maxthomas6741]

I wish they would leave Wheeler lake alone it is the main flood control lake and they drop it all the time!

[@Glock-1]

Bro put that on the back of a chatterbait and it's money!

[@andenhuffman4400]

new fishing man cave?

[@bigrywhat]

First. DING!!!

[@awildndn6674]

How to catch bass: stare at a graph and crappie fish

[@randyoakes7238]

Not taking away from your talent brother. It's a sponk shad.

[@weeman782]

🤔 Doesn't anyone throwing spinning kno how to back reel, don't ever depend on drag, the line starts cutting into the line on the spool I'm not knocking him but u an get bigger fish on smaller line by back reeling

[@mylesG23]

It's not 1980 anymore where drag systems in spinning reels are complete garbage. I've caught 20 pound Muskies on 4lb line and ultralight spinning gear fishing for Perch, never have had a problem in over 15 years.

[@weeman782]

Has nothing to do with 5 to 600 dollars reels with smooth as silk drags, u are missing where the line starts digging under the line on the spool, get someone to pull on your line like a fish, now watch the line that's starting to pull off the reel ,it starts digging deeper in your spool then causes ur line to heat up and ping there goes your line breaking cause of friction, So doesn't really matter how smooth your drag is, When you back reel your not stressing out your line at all, not like your drag is doing

[@mylesG23]

@@weeman782 600 dollar reels? A 40 dollar quantum from wal mart has good enough drag to not worry about this. You need to stop watching Blaukat videos and learning from someone who is stuck in the 90s. If you are breaking fish off so consistantly because of the drag of your reel you need to learn how to set the drag on a spinning reel. Watch any of these guys fish and you hear the drag the entire time, even on 12 inch fish. That's how loose the drag is supposed to be on a properly set reel. Besides, these guys are changing line after every event. I can count the number of fish who have broken me off on my hands and they are all muskies eating through my line. Also he's using a Shimano Vanford spinning reel, they don't have the switch to turn back reeling on the new Shimanos. The best fresh water reel manufacturer doens't put a back reel switch on their reels.

[@randyoakes7238]

Bs copy bait

Naw big dog! Not even close
