Here’s the scenario: You’re at the lake and the fishing pressure has been horrible. The fish have been spawning for weeks and the baits you normally catch them on aren’t working. What do you do next? In this video I give a small swimbait tip that is killer for a few weeks following the main spawn phase. I hope this helps you catch more bass! Please SUBSCRIBE!

Dam gave away my juice! Lol
everything was clear exept hook maker
Whats the min size line that you would on that setup? I do a lot of 8 to 10 lb line? I thought the smaller the bait the smaller the line needed to be?
Some great insight….thanks for taking the time to share…adding some of these techniques to my arsenal.
Omg I just received my rage swimmer electric shad 3.75 n strike king belly blade yesterday n went out on slammed bout 20 bass including my PB this year 25inch 8lbs. Bass w this set up Thanku again Andrew Upshaw 4sharing your great tips!!!
Thanks A!
Great video bro!
I’m having good luck with this. Under spin included.
We are headed to Gunnersville Friday. I will will go back academy and pick this up and give it a try.
Nice job Andrew, like my flashy swimmer this time of year on Cumberland! I'd love to own that winning Cumberland rod 😁. Stay awesome my friend.
Caught me snoozing. I'm not sure how I wasn't subscribed already. But I am now, with notifications on too. Keep up the awesome content here on YouTube Andrew! I agree that 3.25" swimmer is such a great size. I now use it most places I would a 2.75" and a 3.75" for finesse swimbaiting.
Could u do a video on how to set up your rod for light swim baits and 1 and 1.5 cranks …I BLOW UP my reals with light tackle and have to use spinning reels to throw light stuff..a how to would be great..I mean in depth there a bunch of YEAH MEDIUM LIGHT WITH BLA BLA BLA and I cant get em to work
1 of my "go to" favorite bait on my home lake… i have whooped my buddies uo and down the lake out fishing them off the back of their boats by fushn the Rage swimmer!!!
Great tips Andrew! Can't wait to try that 3.25 swim bait 👍👊
Yes sir I'm with ya on that
Would this work on Cherokee since we have no grass?
Well…thanks for giving away my secret Andrew! You are correct Sir, these little swimbaits will smash em. 🎣
Awesome Video Andrew!! Would you throw this bait between shallow cypress trees and skip it under docks?
Great video. I hear you refer to that hook as "the smaller size". Ia that a 3/0? That's the smallest I see on TW right now.
I am in my second year of learning to bass fish. I have a boat full of small swim bait. I never through them. But I will try again because of how convincing this video is.
Good video!! Started using swimbaits a lot more this year. I like the skinny dippers also,, bio-spawn makes some good ones too.
I have a rod dedicated to just that bell blade and swim bait. It's a banger year round. The wait transfer verses a standard underspin gives it the more natural appearance, which in my opinion is what makes it so good.
Great video, thank you for sharing this tip, heading to lake Sinclair to try it now
Thanks 4this great advice. I get so frustrated bcuz I haven't got a bite yet…our weather n Tx is rain n cold that has caused our water 2b muddy. I will b trying this if we can find this. Fort hood doesn't have alot of options…
Dripping springs has become my favorite lake to fish. Seems to be a hidden gem of a lake.
Thanks Andrew. Is that Dripping Springs?
Great video brother! Thanks for sharing. I hear A-rig in the trees catches em. Lol sorry I had to. Look forward to the next one! Nice end screens 👍
Can’t tell me u don’t have a few packs of keitechs in the boat 😂
Gteat video Andrew. Maybe i missed it, but you said u fish it on a finesse jig rod. I dont think, but maybe u did, specify on the rod the length and action you use on that finesse jig rod. I was trying to compare the rod to what i have to see if any of my rods would work. Would a 7ft medium, fast action spinning rod work?
Or a jerkbait rod by Megabass its a casting rod 6'11" medium, fast action or a 7'2" medium heavy, fast action casting rod? Thx buddy for your vodeos. I enjoy them.
Great vid Andrew ! Here in N Illinois our power plant lakes are closed and we’re a ways from fish spawning the ones we can fish anyway. We just need some days that are warmer than in the 40s ! What length and action Lews rod do you use Andrew ?
Flat out your best tutorial to date.
Thanks for your time
