Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit kzread.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.

That underwater footage is hands down the best there is. Just like you, I can watch it all day.

That largemouth at 4:13 was helping the crawfish out. He was like "here, I'll move this stick for you."

Now I wonder how many fish I've missed going after wood instead of my lure.

Now we know why senkos work so well...they are STICK baits after all...

hahaha probably A LOT

Tim/Matt, when you do these underwater videos are you also manning the rod? Can you speak to how each bite/strike feels while we are watching underwater? Take care guys love the content!

I can't get over how accurately they can target the claws, even at great speed. Also, I'm impressed by the sound of the tungsten jig banging on the rocks.

Your underwater footage videos are awesome, but this one has to be one of the best and most unique. Never imagined bass would behave like that, love it!

Thanks guys for all the content! I grew up fishing a pond and never had success at the lake. After all the countless videos I have seen now of y’all’s I finally had success and confidence to fish a lake. Scored my new PB at 5.3 lbs. owner flashy swimmer with a 4.8 keitech. Thank you!

That bass and his stick chewtoy though...lol. I'm glad you put in that Jewel jig. I've used them for years, back to when Eakin owned the company...they're made a few miles from my property in North Central Arkansas right by Bull Shoals Lake. If you've ever fished Bull Shoals, you know why that bait came to be. Anyhow, thanks for the footage, too cool!

Thanks to the bed fishing tips I’ve learned from you, I was able to break my PB and catch an 8 pounder

Same. Caught an 8 pounder the other day out of a lake by my house

This proves my theory, i wrote a short article on bass vison. Bass cannot focus on things like we can and their depth perception is not very good. You guys have done the best underwater footage out there, this is geat

@TacticalBassin is there any way to show surface footage in sequence to subsurface? I think it would be cool to see how the jig works under water with the stroke of the rod tip, or any bottom contact (tx rig, Ned rig, etc.)

I like that, that's different!

4:13 that bass was a dog in it's past life 😂😂

Awesome footage! Thanks for shading! Good to learn fish behavior and the lure presentation.👏🏼

Love these underwater jig videos! They get me to try different actions and jigs when I’m fishing.

Gives new meaning to the term “STICK BATE”

I could watch underwater action of strikes all day lol. It’s so awesome!

That stick obviously insulted the honor of the fish’s family. It was going to town on it. Absolutely adore these videos, thank you for sharing with us.

Best fishing channel on KZread

YESSSSS the return of underwater footage!!!

I’m glad y’all finally did some under water jewel jig footage . Jewel jigs and the Keitech jigs are the only ones I use 95% of the time

Whoa this underwater footage is amazing. I’ve been setting the hook on the initial “thump”. I like the “two stage bite” saying. Gonna have to remember that next week. Thanks guys!

Love the underwater footage. I especially like seeing how different baits and trailers act in the water.

Great stuff!! Always enjoy seeing everyone else's underwater video, other than mine, and how fish look in other parts. Love the markings on that Largemouth!

Where was that fish yesterday when I was pitching a jig for 3 hours and felt nothing?

Love the smallie doing the dog shake when it grabbed the jig... I never knew they would do that... great stuff!!

Amazing underwater footage guys. That two-stage bite seems to be common. I've often heard that is because they stun the fish first. Amazing how they carry the lure off sometimes as well. This gives a great picture of what's happening. So funny that the largemouth bit the stick multiple times. I recently caught a bass with just one eye. I am sure they probably also miss often. Probably my biggest takeaway on this one is the light reflection on the bottom. I know getting this was tough and time-consuming. Thanks so much for putting it together. I could watch this all day. 👍

That was epic! I always love your underwater footage!!

I love this kind of underwater footage

Fellers, great work on this underwater filming! Excellent learning tool to see just how fish react to our jig presentations. You guys worked hard for this video and you definitely deserve a SLUG to the back!! Keep up the great work, as we're learning lots from you guys...

Great video!👍🏻. Kind of like putting a movie in our heads now that we can kind of rely on when we are fishing jigs now. We’re going in with that little extra piece of confidence I think now. What I really find interesting though is no mention of scent or attractant on these jigs. So I’d love to hear from Tim, and Matt about that. I’m very very curious to hear what they have to say on that. I’m a big believer in scent, or attractant. Some are not. So I look forward to hearing about this part of the jig game. Thanks. 👍🏻

Do you catch these fish after you are done filming? I know I would especially the aggressive ones. Awesome videos. Keep it up.

Thanks for the great vid Tim! Love these underwater videos, help us a lot to understand what’s actually going on down there!

Great video... makes me better understand what I am feeling in a bite.. looks to me there is a tap to grab it, then they engulf it... at the tap, reel down to take the slack, then set the hook.... Thanks

Thank you for this excellent video. Our fisheries have low visibility. Less than 1 foot visibility at the surface and worse at depth. I wonder how fish reaction would be in this low visibility water.

LOVE these vids!!! I would like one additional perspective that other vids do not show - including the fishes perspective looking at the light above and what reflections they see looking upward - I would like to know how braid or mono looks when it breaks the surface compared to flouro.... just a bass's view and how your gear looks to the bass.

Thank you guys for all the helpful tips and buyers guides! Appreciated more than you know!

Great video fellas😎

Thanks again for the exciting/educational/kicka$$ underwater footage. And yes we all really like the videos.

Are you using a specific underwater camera like a MarCum or are you using a GoPro? Thanks and keep the footage coming, love it!

My PB bass of 9lbs did that. Came up with a crankbait and a foot long stick in its mouth!

That's an interesting video. I like rubber jig fishing, but I've never seen such an interesting video😄

How awesome is that! Thank you for always thinking outside the box! I have applied all of your information and have increased landing more bass!

Such cool footage,love the video's guys,I could watch that underwater footage allday

I would like to hear more about how this footage changes your fishing. For example, if they are always biting the trailer behind the hook, couldn't we use that info to change the bait set up and hook those fish? Do you feel the 2 and 3 step bites and if so, does that change your hook set technique?

This is awesome! Crazy how that Largemouth bit that stick!!

These are some of my favorites too watch. Incredible footage and information.

My hook-up ratio is probably the best on a jig but this video makes me want to not swing on the initial bite anymore. I’m surprised my ratio is great when majority of the fish in this video the first bite is behind the hook! Great video!

Dude these fish are on beds protecting. They aren't biting because they are hungry. Unless you bed fish, take this footage with a grain of salt on how fish actually act when not in beds.

Great footage guys. Love it as always!

Awesome video!

Another great video, thanks Tim. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

The noises underwater are like highway noise for us probably

Big Bass have their own mentality. Slowly learning this..

My favorite videos of all time your guys underwater is the best

Love the underwater videos. Might be difficult, but underwater glide bait, or yo yo a lipless, what about a Tactical DD strike? Thanks Tim.

Great work!

Amazing footage. Always great videos guys.

Crazy how many of us have missed a bite when they inhale it so fast we don't even feel it or maybe just a tick.

Love the vid. You mentioned other under water with different baits. Would love to see some also on 4.8 & 5.8 keitechs. Been doing great on them this year. Love to see how you do them with some underwater footage.

Good job Tim.

Tim awesome underwater video footage. 👌👌👍👍👍

Awesome stuff, as always, keep it coming tactical

Love the underwater footage! I guess it's one of the things we all can learn so much about how perfect our art. I am wondering how you do that. I hope I am not asking for craft secrets here but maybe you can tell in one of your videos how you get them to sit there and eat a lure right in front of the camera. It's amazing! All the best to you guys!

These videos are so helpful. Never cease to amaze me....

The smallmouth headshake on the follow up bite was awesome video. 🤘

Wow, this is so freakn cool!!

AWESOME footage. That first smallie wasn't playing around.

The way it missed that bait and locked onto that stick it kinda makes you wonder… how good is a basses vision ya know??? Sometimes they can spot you from a mile away on the bank and then seeing this footage!? Crazy

This footage is amazing, you guys do such a great job.

Love the underwater action!! Haha Great vid guys!!

Does anyone have any theories as to why smallmouth are generally more aggressive? Is it because their mouths are smaller and they feel the need to hit baits harder? Super interesting stuff here.

I love these underwater footage videos!!!!

Love these underwater footage videos

Vid idea: underwater footage of fishing straight braid versus floro and mono. Love you guys!

These vids are awesome! Keep em coming please!

Great video thank you

Underwater footage and coffee don’t mind if I do thank you guys for your time and knowledge!!!!

Great footage. Thanks for sharing.

Do the tungsten football Jigs get hung up more since the head is smaller? I fish from shore a lot and going to get it isn’t usually an option

Outstanding video as usual !

I really enjoy ALL of the underwater video. I really hope you can get footage on how River current, wind effects a bass to adjust or hold for ambush. Hell, who knows; maybe learn something no one has ever seen or know about bass.

Absolutely awesome footage, great learning videos... Thanks

Awesome stuff as usual guys!!! Good luck to everyone!! :)

I’d love to see some underwater film of bass chasing swim jigs thru grass

I could watch this stuff all day!

That was pretty cool. Thanks

That one bass: "Yum yum stick."

Very cool vid. But I can't help but notice they spit it back out most of the time. Confusing.

I had Oscar cichlids as pets when I was a kid, and they grew to be pretty big. I fed them some live craws once, and they always, without fail, grabbed them by the claws first and shook them until the claws fell off before eating the craw. Sometimes they'd leave the claw and not even eat it later.

Love underwater videos keep em coming

I really enjoy watching these. Still so much to learn.

Very nice. Thanks Tim.

Awesome Job Filming !!! Now I Have A Visual In My Head What Happens When My Bait Goes Out Of Sight After Re-entery !!!!! To Down Below !!!!!!

Love the underwater videos guys
