Let me rephrase my Jackall after rethinking it. I think the keitech fat 2.8 and Easier shiners excel in the olders water temperatures lie high 30's and 40 degree temps. I find the that a keitech crawled dead slow coaxes picky cold water smallies into biting with the sublte light tail imparting actio...

Wanted to share a finesse jig created by my long time smallmouth buddy and aspirting Chicago bass fanatic Ryan Whitacre. He created the original tightrope when we were both youngins' and it was our little secret bait on the Lake Michigan tournament circuits. And now its has gained a large following ...

My good buddy with the aspirations and skill made this little finesse jig called the TightRope baby firework jig and has been a hit throughout the Chicagoland area and midwest. Its the most beautiful compact finesse jig and has won us many victories in Lake Michigan bass tournaments. What sets this ...

I like 5 inch grubs for smb and Yamamoto probably produce the finest single tail grub but I find that the Kailin's have my utmost confidence with thier clear plastic that has put many smallies in the boat over the years. I like the vmc moon eye jigs to match my grubs colors. I fish 1/8, 1/4, 3/8 dep...

It is a very finiesse paadle tail compared to most american thick plastic boot tail swim baits. I encourage you to try the 5 incher!

I learned how to snell a straight shank flipping hook hook from a mentor when I started flipping and have had mostly positive hookups in roof of fishes mouth. The tension to the hook set when it comes htrough pulls the shank just right!

I primarily fish great Lakes smallies so I do every little fine tuning i can to get that bait below the surface. I got rid of all my Flukes once I saw the damage the 13 "The Jerk". Its a 5 inch soft-plastic jerkbait with 2 cool thick tails that more produce action the entire time the Jerk is in the ...

Its quite astonding all the detailed and intricate of water experimentation that comes to perfectly matching up jig heads for ultimte permformance. Here is my go-to swimbait rigging methods tested on smallmouth bass. I dont fish to many weedy areas for large mouth but here's what i got Fishing 3.8 S...

Cool concept, ill give it a shot this year but its hard to be the 13 "The Jerk" as a reaction bait accurately placed in front of unexpecting smallies! Twitch Twitch Chomp!

13 makes some real quality soft baits for both ice fishing and open-water fishing. I love the Jerk, churro, ninja craw

Mini tubes work all year long, im always test and experimenting tubes on Southetn Lake Michigan and I like mass produced mini tubes netbait and xzone manufacturer but still have great quality colors, plastics and good skirts. Gitzit slender tube is a must have in tough conditions. Howie's tackle in ...

For shallow shallow ultra realistic, i love the megabass minnow head 10 or less. For deeper water up to 40' on either spinning or casting combos the Big bite baits minnow head and ball head jigs are truly the best! Dirty jigs guppy head looks so perfect, but until it changes up the hooks it uses I'l...

Its a decent option for when your keitech stash is depleted or if your rookie buddies are loosing to many good keitechs! I think they do an okay job. The 3.8 is a solid dor both finesse swimbait fishing and has a harder thumping tails that keitech baits so it work grwar as spinnwrbait, swimjig, chat...

For finesse swimbaits, theres nothing that compare to the action, softness, assortment of colors, shaps and sizes that the Keitech company offers. Others love Megabass swimmies but the keitech has your needs covered. If your just looking for swimjig trailers look for a thicker paddle tail to produce...
