Underspins And Finesse Swimbaits: Everything You Need To Know!

Not all swimbaits are created equal! Today we're comparing how different swimbaits move in the water, and when they will catch fish. We're also looking at how different head styles impact action, and when to use them. If you're tired of being confused, we're about to answer all your questions!

Finesse swimbaits are awesome! They catch large numbers of fish, and they catch giants too! It wasn't long ago that there were only 2 styles of finesse swimbait on the market... today it can take up an entire row at your local shop. So what's the deal? Which baits should you be using? And does that answer change throughout the year? Let's find out!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and heads Matt discussed in the video.

Matt, you and Tim keep putting out such high quality videos packed with details it's outstanding. Us hard core guys really appreciate it. Thank you.

[raytubach]

This along with some of your other videos needs to go in the TB Hall of Fame. 👍🏻

[ItzAdam]

I'll fully agree with how good those silver base mini underspins are. My mom and I went out this last weekend for Minnesota opener, and she got after a ton of smallies on that thing with a easy swimmer on the back. Congrats on the designs guys! Proven fish catchers already!

[c.shoefish]

Great video. Y'all really are tackle junkies, the way you guys memorize all of this stuff is wild.

[davidlanphere]

Anoter home run video, Matt. You pointed out something that never crossed my mind, then things rarely do, but never thought about a white swimbait head being too loud. Thanks for such good information as always.

[brendanbutkus]

I love running a st croix avid 7'1" MLF with a daiwa ballistic LT 2500, i run 15lb suffix 832 to either daiwa j flouro or samurai flouro 8-12lb with a blood knot, and thats just been my jam with swim baits hair jigs or spybaits

[richardbossman]

I don’t about anyone else but I’d like to see a TB jighead kit box or even a jighead/ swimbait kit with everything already sized and colored in one travel box.

[kylegadd]

Ol Matt finally starting to get that southern DRAWL goin on 😂

[timtillfishing]

These baits are money catch everything that swims Matt great way to explaine everything taticalbassin channel in my opinion best in the business 👍

[TheExceptionallyAverageAngler]

As always this is a great video. The way you guys lay out and present your content is the best out there and I appreciate that you guys tell people what works and not just promote what you’re selling. But for anyone who isn’t sure about the tactical underspin, know they absolutely catch fish, and a LOT of them. Up here in Michigan the small underpins and jig heads have become close to if not my favorite way to catch them and the tactical underpins just get it done. Absolutely confidence bait.

[justyngilliam]

I love how passionately you guys talk about underspins. Personally ive never been able to catch a fish on an underspin. They just dont hit it for me like they do a regular ol paddle tail.

[jimblack]

Keep it simple is the best advise
I have been a subscriber for years
You had a column in a magazine I use to get
Anyway great job

[casiokids]

I never used an underspin until this year and have been absolutely crushing them with it!

[basshunter]

I love fishing them on my BFS.
Metanium 100 HG on Poison Ultima 6'10".
Awesome set up.

[SeanShanahan]

Great info Matt! Caught a nice bass on your underspin yesterday, with the mayor. Sure hope to fish the great lakes at least once in my lifetime.

[billmichlig]

Love the videos!
Question, I know you are bass guys but have you ever thought about going up to the fox river in Greenbay Wisconsin for the opening of musky season? Not a video idea or anything like that but I think you would enjoy hunting the biggest fish in the lake, go throw a 10" magdraft and hold on!
Thank you for your time!

[michaelhyland]

As always, Thanks TB for the depth of knowledge

[Hollowpoynt]

I have enjoyed every video more than any others I’ve seen.

[emack]

Hold up Matt....Im in NC and I throw the dark sleeper all the time. Even the little 2 inch gets bit by everything from warmouth to crappie and bass. Love those baits!

[merleshuff]
