Love the night time videos ❤️👊
Hooked up to A monster bass the other night had to be 5 to 6 pounds but it got off but I'm in love with my river to sea s waver it's. Got me three solid fish and a lot of hook ups and this is my first year swimbait fishing I'm from Minnesota
@tacticalbassin what lb. Braid do u usually use in your reels for throwing 8 to 10 inch huds?
1:08 look right in the background on the surface…. something else came up… hard to tell what it is….
SWEET SHOTS!
Hey Matt what knot do you use to tie on your flouro leader? I don't want to set the hook and feel that knot break!
What's your biggest clearlake bass?do you thing there is still a lot of double digit bass in this lake. Some say there are not many left?
Another question what color hudd do you recommend for clearlake? And what rof
When does the swimbait bite start to pick up.like around october or so?been slamming them on a white buzzbait just before sunset.
Just let me know. 🙂
Well perfect. Even better. No I did not know that. Would love to go out some time when swim bait bite is on.
It really depends on the bait you intend to throw but for the really big baits, that's really not enough rod. I'm using 8+ foot rods and 65-80 lb braid with 25-30 lb leaders in this video.
What do you mean, "Down Here"… that's where this was filmed. :-p
I don't know if you know, but I'm a guide on the lake. And yeah, that set up should work just fine. I'm using Dobyns 807, and 908 in the video with a curado 300 and calcutta 300 TE.
Just bought a swimbait setup. Went with the powell 7'11" "swimbait" and a curado 301e. Wanting to throw the hudds and some osprey down here in clearlake Ca. Would this be a good setup for that?
do you think a st croix 7'6 md hvy is big enough? what line though? braid or flourocarbon
My largest bass is a 17.2 lber
The 7'3" medium heavy is definitely lighter than ideal for the hudd but you can probably get by with it. It should work really well for the smaller punker.
whats the biggest bass you have caught? and would a curado 200e7 and 7'3" med hvy vendetta be ok for throwing the 6 inch hudds and the smaller lunker punkers? nice videos. i subbed.
Matt is simply the funnest to watch catch fish on Youtube, period. He's down to earth and he don't feed u a lot of bull about different baits. He knows what works and if you follow his videos and research you'll catch more fish. I tried his jig modifications with phantom crawls and put 3 keepers in the boat when nothing else was getting bit. Thanks Matt.
do have any segmented swimbaits that u like + brands and since u made a mod hudd vid u should show make homemade 68 vid
Sure! For that setup, a Dobyns 806H and a Curado 300 would be great. Its light enough to throw the smaller baits but will also bridge the gap in to the lighter 8 inch baits. Best of all, it also works great with most wakebaits. As for line, I like heavy braid tied to a 25-30 lb mono or flouro leader. If you go to the main tactical bassin website I've got links to the specific products that I use.
hey awesome vid can u reccomend a rod and reel mainly 6 in maybe the 8 (hope i can get some hudd 68s) i want use this all round punching and frogging too. can i even do that? also what line
That's cool.
Some baits work a lot better than others. The storm isn't a product I've had much success with.
Hahaha, not exactly. Would you believe its on a non- trout lake? They don't even know what a huddleston is supposed to be. 🙂
