Underwater Swimbait Footage! Best Swimbaits And Paddletails Compared!
Спорт
14 of the top swimbaits compared underwater! Come below the surface into crystal clear water and watch how these popular swimbaits and paddle tails swim. You'll be amazed how different they really are! Some are ultra subtle, some vibrate wildly, and others have wide wobbling tails. Which are your favorites? Which are our favorites? Let's find out!
When it comes to picking a swimbait most anglers just listen to what's popular. Let's set popular aside for a minute and look at how the baits actually move. Which ones jump out at you? Are you attracted to the baits that run true with a wide kick? Perhaps you like the baits with heavy body rock with the hook flopping wildly from side to side? The beauty of this underwater footage is you can compare the baits and know exactly what they're doing the next time you head to the lake!
Below you'll find links to the exact gear used in the video. We've linked both heads (Tactical Finesse and Guppy) along with all the swimbaits. The swimbaits are listed in the order they appeared in the video. We've also included our favorite colors for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

No other bass fishing channel goes as in-depth into baits as you guys! The fact y'all don't have 1 million subs yet just puzzles me.

They don't have a million yet because: - They don't act like total D-Bags. - They don't post clickbait. - They don't have some chick on their channel pulling her jugs out. - They don't post gimmick videos. Tim and Matt have one of THE BEST fishing channels on KZread. Period. It will NEVER be the most popular... and that's ok. But they don't sell out like some other channels and that's why I always find myself coming back.

Yeah it’s almost like people would rather watch Andrew Flair name sheep 🐑 and 🐐 goats then catch a 5lber in a half acre pond he stocked I feel like this channel deserves 2 subs for every sub Flair has I do gotta say old flair was educational and tolerable lol this wasn’t meant to bash him just crazy We need to do our part and share these videos more
Most impressed by that River2sea offering!

Yeah and curious what hook is best for it? I bought some and it swims funny! Maybe I need a jig head for it!?
That little Gambler and the D Walker really stood out to me! Also impressed with the Big Bite Finesse!
Now I see why Matt preaches those D-Walkers for swim jigs. Those things are VIBRATING!
Would really like to see an Alabama rig comparison underwater that shows the “do’s” and “don’ts”, blades vs non blades, and how each bama rig flares when it’s pumped.
That side to side is what I look for. Great on any rig that needs a trailer or a stand alone swimbait. The underwater camera work is spot on and thanks for not killing it with music.
Armor shad looked amazing, and I thought the xzone looked awesome too!

Great underwater view. Seeing that side to side wobble is pretty cool. That Keitech Easy Shiner has been my go-to. Can't seem to get the same results with the swing impact. Definitely want to try that D Walker though. Never used that before. Thanks for the explanations guys.
I love underwater vids too guys! Thanks TB
Excellent underwater footage! Thanks a lot for taking the time to do this, and then sharing it with us. Always appreciated! 👍👍🎣
Amazing how different the action is on each one. I'll be shopping soon.
🔥🔥🔥I’m soooooooo grateful for the hours of work you put into this video and the ones you like were my favorites also,Thank you Tim and Matt ❤️🙏👍
Very difficult to stick with just a few favorites! Great job!
Awesome video. I would like to see the Jackel Rythem Wave underwater. It's one of my go to swimbaits. Thanks for all you guys do. Great work.
I appreciate the work and research you’ve done. Thanks
Just awesome as always. You need to just call these The Money Shot for "insert lure category" Cant get enough of these videos
Thank you so much for the footage bro. I think it is a wonderful idea of you, recording how the baits works. God bless you and keep up the good work.
Tim and Matt always come with them fire 🔥 under water videos.

Haha so neat to see them in action.
Super cool video Tim! As soon as I saw the “Pleasure Shad”, I couldn’t believe it! That thing has a 180 degree roll! Also very surprised by the Bigger Damiki Shad. I’ve used the smaller ones for drop shots, Damiki Rigs etc. but not the larger ones. Again, spectacular footage guys. No one gets underwater shots like TB’n.
Loading up on armor shads. Thanks for sharing all the info as always.
Great stuff, Tim!
Great underwater footage Tim. Thanks from Western Kentucky.
You guys have the very best channel period . Thanks for your honesty about our sport .
Great vid...took notes! Helps with selecting 2 or 3 styles of sb's for the day.
Awesome Breakdown!!! 13 Thumbzzzuppp!!!
Another exceptional training video. I was impressed by some the soft baits that rotated from side to side. I would think that the added reflections would be a significant fish attractor. Please continue to provide videos like these as your valuable time permits. Thank you very much.

I just started bass fishing,,just found your channel and is amazing how much knowledge you share,,u just got a new subscriber 👍
Interesting to see actions of swimbaits under water
Awesome Video! Love the Keitech Swing Impact and Easy Shiner series! The Sawamura One Up Shad is also a great one! Not sure if you guys get these out there... haven't seen it on tacklewarehouse...
I fish inshore for reds specks and flounder along with freshwater for bass. I have switched to using only a couple different paddle tails for either application. The Down South Lures super model has shown awesome results for me in both types of fishing.
Good job bro. Best "underwater & compare" video on youtube.
unbelievable action of the Damiki! TB still #1, great underw footage
Dang I wish you guys could make it out to Baccarac this fall. Great video🤙🎣!
Love the underwater footage,

-Megabass Spark Shad 4" Standout for me as it looks like the swimbait is eating the head...cool look and gives it a different type of secondary action...maybe;)- And in the smaller sizes I've had consistent success so there's that too! Valuable content, thanks again T.B.
Well done!
Great video
I love this guy
Just bought the River2Sea D Walker for my night walleye bait. Imagining the vibration that bait will make with all that wobble. Thank you
That little head wobble makes all the difference in the world. Xzone lures makes some of the best I have ever used.
love the under footage
I need to order some D walkers! those things always blow me away with how much they move about!
Every swim bait looked really good. Well there goes my money again. Lol great video as always brother.

Hey, don't tell anyone!
Wow that Finesse Swimmer Big Bite has a really nice action, it even looks good in slo mo
The Largo shad also has some great realistic Bluegill, Perch and Shiner patterns. I have done very well using these 3 on a drop shot too
more underwater vids like this in this lake please
The big bite baits and the Damiki looked the best to me, other then the keitech and the strike king that I already use
Please consider doing a video showing a matrix of when to use these baits with different actions based on water temperature, water Clarity, time of year Etc. For those of us who can't buy three colors of 20 different baits it would certainly help. I did notice a lot of what you refer to as secondary action in these paddletails, some have more side-to-side wobble and some have up and down jig head movement. This was a great video always love tacticalbassin.
Excellent videography
Underwater lure vid? Yes sir, can’t click fast enough
Awesome job I came out with the exact top 4. That Dwalk and Largo Shad are my go to Swimbaits. You should try out the BassAssassin Die Dapper it has a ton of roll and flash to it. I use them a lot at Headwaters Lake and Stick Marsh down in Florida along with the Big EZ.
The Largo Shad is the Juice, I’ve wrecked them on it, one of my favorites fosho!!
Love the Gambler EZ swimbaits! Can pretty much get bit on them all year round. With different rigging methods, sizes, and techniques, you can fish them from topwater, all the way down to dragging bottom.
I think the spark shad had the best action as far as the tail action! We all know what the rage swimmer can do, plus the Keitech.. but seriously the spark shad I think it's my favorite! I throw the smaller version on the spin heads in the winter time and just drag them on the bottom or reel them on a spinning rod extremely slow just barely off the bottom and get bit every time!! Hey you can do so much for the spark chance too, you can take the 4 in and cut a little off of that bait as far as the head of it goes and it makes a really really good chatterbait trailer!! Good video as always, my everyday morning, coffee and some tactical bassin!!
I love these videos. I always wondered how you get such good footage. Do you have multiple cameras under water? Using scuba gear? They always look so great.

Thank you Robert it is a lot of work but there is so much to learn from the footage.
Now let me tell you. That storm 360 gt is killer. They love the twitch and pause. Hit it as it falls. Tight lines.
Tim I'm literally wearing the same hat and sunglasses right now lol 😂
I have a new pack of d-walker for buzzbaits and never opened them. I was impressed with a swimbait head.
Do you recommend the 1/0 or 3/0 hooks on the guppy jig for the smaller 3" swimbaits?
I was making notes as I watched and had the D-Walker and Pleasure shad at the top of my list. I've already had good success on the Armor Shad here in Kentucky.
Dimaki was my favorite. But the storm swims level and has quiver with that bill gonna get some if those!
I had great luck this weekend with a Jackall 4.8” Rhythm Wave
This is gonna be great

What line do you prefer to use
The Bass Assassin Boss Shiner and the Bass Assassin Elite Shiner are two really good baits that are similar to the Keitech Fat and Easy Shiner but are just a little cheaper both on TW as well, and one I been messing with lately that seems to work really well is that Chasebaits , it has a full body and has eyes lol
I think a video showing various swimbait performances at various temperature ranges would be most instructive, likely it would be an absolute pain in the butt to film, and probably time consuming in the extreme, but it would be an epic level tips and tricks type of video
Thanks for the video! It was one of the most enlightening underwater videos you’ve done. Please do another one and include Jenko Booty Shaker, Gambler Big EZ. THANKS 🙏
Pretty impressed with the gambler been fishing with their baits forever truth be told I like the 13 fishing Baits
Largo Shad looks great
I needed this because my swimbait game is on 🔥 and I'm running out of my colors 😅.
Pretty interesting. I feel like a few of them produce different sounds.
Gambler EZ is all I throw here in Fla. They all look good to me 😀
Looks like your swimming those baits in a pool.. very clear water
Big bit baits Suicide shad. Gotta check those out
A lot of these baits have great roll but nothing is like the D Walker! It’s the best swim jig trailer ever, so durable! put it on the Megabass Uoze, it’s game over haha
Down here in Australia Keitech rocks...I am shivering from the cold right now because of our winter but maybe as you say I may find a new 3 inch swim bait for our bass come summer...
Have you guys used any of the 6th sense soft plastic swim baits?
What color sunglasses do you think is the best color for bank,pond and kayak fishing ? And thanks for the content we appreciate you. God Bless and tight lines
Awesome video! Amazon video dropping this week...? 🤔
What knot did you use for these? The loop knot?
I echo what Up the creek said! Also, not sure if it’s even possible but if it is Possible i would find it awesome and useful …on the underwater footage videos if you could split the screen with the uw bait footage plus your retrieval technique/ speed /pauses/ whatever…that would be something I would find beneficial. I don’t recall ever seeing it done before on any channel. Love y’all from Murfreesboro TN!
Great video! My favorite swimbait is the Googan Baits Saucy Swimmer.

What does the D Walker look on a flashy swimmer or a beast hook. Might be a great bait for Redfish or Speckled Trout on the coastal waters
Surprised. No Jackall Prism Shad. Thanks for a view we typically don't see.

We had a long list of baits to try. Maybe on the next one
My top 5 swimbaits: 1. Megabass Spark Shad 2. Strike King Rage Swimmer 3. Keitech 4. Megabass Hazedong Shad 5. Zman Minnowz
12:05 what some body roll!
Tim can you guys do some underwater footage of the savage gear pulse tail swimbait. Also could we get a video on hair jigs or buck tail jigs? Thanks guys
Keitech despite it being not durable slays fish even on the toughest of days
Strike King Rage swimmer, green pumpkin and pearl, and Storm Largo Shad, pearl and Albino shad
I have the 1/4 oz. Finesse head or i have the regular Matt Allen in 3/8 oz. will the baits still have the same action?
Omg the keitec is literally waving
