The Alabama Rig might be banned in most major tournaments, but when the water gets cold and bass stop eating chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, jigs, and worms… this thing becomes an absolute cheat code. In today’s video I break down exactly how to fish an A-Rig — including the Stealth A-Rig, one of the most natural-looking and subtle umbrella rigs on the market — and why it continues to crush when nothing else gets bit. I show how to rig it, the best swimbaits to pair with it, the right rod and reel setup, and the key retrieves that fire up winter bass. If you’re fishing from late fall into early winter and struggling to get bites, the Alabama Rig is still the deadliest tool you can legally throw… even if the pros can’t.

This might be the biggest leap forward in finesse swimbait fishing we’ve seen in years. In this video, I put some new NetBait finesse swimbaits to the test against the classics — the Keitech and Cast Prodigy — to see which truly performs best in cold water during the late fall and winter bite.

We test these baits underwater, breaking down how their unique tail actions move differently and how that subtle change in movement can make all the difference when bass are pressured or lethargic. Whether you’re fishing deep structure, suspended fish, or dragging a slow presentation, these finesse swimbaits could change how you fish this season.

This swimbait trick could change the way you fish for bass. In this video, I reveal a deadly secret that no one’s talking about — modifying soft plastic swimbaits like Keitech-style paddletails and fluke style baits with small blades to add extra flash and live-action movement. This simple tweak makes your swimbait look more natural, triggers more strikes by adding flash, and helps you stand out when bass are pressured. I’ll walk you through exactly how to rig it, the components you need, and the best swimbaits for modification to dominate your next bass fishing tournament. Whether you’re fishing clear water, grass edges, or deep structure, this swimbait modification will give you a little tournament edge. #SwimbaitFishing #BassFishing #FishingHack #SwimbaitRig #FishingTips #Tournament #BassFishingTips #hack

Is the Berkley Nessie really the best new soft glide bait for bass fishing — or is the original better? In this video, we dive into the story behind the Grow Design Flag swimbait, the Japanese bait that inspired the Berkley Nessie, and put them both to the test in an underwater swimbait showdown. You’ll see how each bait swims, how they react to different retrieves, and which one triggers more strikes. Whether you’re fishing soft glide baits for big bass, looking for swimbait tips, or just want the truth about the Nessie, this side-by-side test reveals what the fishing industry doesn’t want you to know. #BassFishing #SwimbaitFishing #BerkleyNessie #GrowDesignFlag #FishingLures #SwimbaitTest #UnderwaterFishing #BigBassBaits #SoftGlideBait #bassfishingtipsandtechniques

In this fishing video I talk about chatterbait fishing tips and the best chatterbait trailers by testing them underwater. The soft plastic lure you pick to use on your chatterbait can really change the action of your bait so understanding what a chatterbait looks like underwater with different chatterbait trailers can help you catch more bass. We also reveal and test a new prototype lure that we made specifically as a jig trailer or chatterbait trailer. This is the homemade soft plastic version so it’s not perfect but the outcome was super cool!

I picked out some of my favorite early winter bass fishing lures for fishing as the water starts to get cold and fish turn to their prespawn and winter patterns. Choice baits this time of year are hardbaits such as jigs, crankbaits, Red Eye Shad style trap lures – however swimbaits still play a big roll I have some super unique micro swimbaits to share with you. A rigs or umbrella rigs are also a big deal on lakes like Chickamauga, Guntersville, and any lake that is shad focused. The new Gambler Goat Locked Up Swimbait Head is perfect for a rig and we review it. Just remember, the best part about this time of year is if you brave the winter weather and put your time in bass fishing these cold water conditions can produce some of the biggest fish of the year – there is a real opportunity for an angler to catch a PB or trophy bass.

It’s swimbait time – big winter and spring bass are chewing and giant artificial lures like glide baits and jointed swimbaits are awesome tools for catching giant bass. I have been collecting some fishing lures – some of them rare and some of them available at tackle shops but I want to be ready to learn how to fish more glide baits and large swimbaits for bass this winter. I even got a crazy ultra realistic line thru glide bait that was literally designed from a real shad!!! I love catching big fish and there is no doubt swimbait fishing is a great technique for targeting trophy bass and it’s also an insanely cool way to fish for bass! Thanks to Kevin the Baitman Baxter – throw him a sub https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCup6q6q-j1i4OGjhsjrbLPA The Shizzard should be available soon more info @doubledigitbass on Instagram Huge thanks to Rod and make sure to give him a follow @rwhallman His artistry on the real shad line thru glide bait was amazing!!!

There are always 2 sides to a story but it looks like the trophy bass master Mike Long may have cheated and lied about some of his angling records, fishing tournament wins, and just flat out behaved unethically while bass fishing – basically he’s a fraud. Long is a famous figure in bass fishing history and marks a point in the timeline putting trophy California fishing on the map as well as playing a huge role in popularizing big swimbait fishing across the U.S. His 20+lbs fish made the cover of Bassmaster back in the early 2000’s and he still plays a role in fishing defining the direction of trophy bass fishing as well as the Cali swimbait and tournament scene.
