Catching Bass With Metal: The Trick Behind Spoons, Blade Baits, And Tail Spins!

Major craft has a 7’ extra heavy rated from 3/8 to 3 oz. It’s an amazing rod for bigger baits yet it has a soft enough tip for lighter baits. At $149.00 it’s a great deal

Ah yes the old diamond colored spoon. My favorite. And I've been running the blade bait like a lipless and it's been ripping on them but I'm ready to get to deadsticking

Thank you for showing how to work the baits. Sometimes you literally need to watch it to get it.

How would you fish a tail spinner or a blade bait in five feet of water and lots of grass in the cold

I would love you to break down Lake Anna, Bumpass Virginia.😊

jeans with sandals, cmon now do better

We just wore them out today in the lake with blade baits tail spins and I got home to this after. Nice.

Fantastic! Love the timing, too...as I'm about to make a trip on my new lake, the first time late fall bass fishing....ever, for me. Thank you!

I’m not the best listener which one would u use to just cast and reel and make some big twitches

I just realized I've been fishing spoons wrong this whole time, until I found this video. Awesome video!

Great video Matt! I’ve never been able to get the hang of these baits but this video will help. There was no mention of water clarity so wondering if they work in dirty water and if so, which are best for that? Thanks for yet another excellent video. You guys have really helped my game. 👍🏼

Bruising myself catching fish sounds like a cook problem to have! Haha

Appreciate you showing everything very clearly. I don't know the proper action half the time I'm fishing but this sure helps!

There goes another $300....

Man y’all got this shit down to a science brother

Good stuff👍 Tight lines my friend 🤟🤟🤟

Great video as always! Have you ever tried using assist hooks like they use in saltwater vice using the trebles?

Is it worth drifting a spoon in moving water?

watched older video 2 years ago. you made me buy more baits. but now i have 2 tackle boxes full of blade baits. I have caught so many fish in the last 2 years. You guys rock!

Have you guys ever used the Manns little George tail spinner been around for a long time

Thank you Matt, I will be doing this today ❤

I've caught more bass with a Silver Buddy, Little George, Crippled Herring, and Hopkins Shorty than most anglers will ever see. Veritcal jigging with metal is one of the fastest ways you'll ever load the boat.

Matt brother I must've just set a record marathon for watching Tactical Bassin!!! You are awesome¡!!

Big cats like that mag flutter spoon.

I fish blades on bottom like a jig for saugeye and walleye in shallow rocks and destroy them. Yes I lose a ton. I've had days where I'll lose 30+ sometimes lol.

Does anyone know would the proper retrieve for a Reef Runner Cicada lure be the same as the blade bait retrieve shown here?

I really don’t fish spoons. Tailspins and bladebaits are my bread and butter. Especially around pressured fish. They are so versatile. You can burn them or jig them and so much more. The tailspin crushes in deeper water because on the fall it sort of glides. I don’t fish for suspended bass but I really thing it would kill them.

Thanks for sharing your information. I love to spoon for bass in the winter, I need a little more time with the blade bait and tail spinner to really get them dialed in. Awesome video thanks again.

Blade baits; you can fish in as little as 2' and more? Whare I fish any time of year, there is crap on bottom (leaves dead milfoil ect.) Exposed treble hooks will be a problem. Hell even deep there is junk on the bottom. How do you avoid getting fouled?

Would a single rear hook work like a salt water spoon?

Finally for the first time ever Matt says we can throw these baits on a rod we already own… 😅

They catch fall walleye too.

Matt

You went from a Zodias 75H to a Zodias 75MH for spooning but still use the spoons over 1 ounce.. any reason why you did so and how does the MH handle the heavier spoons vs the H?

flutter spoons for muskie? Seems like a no Brainerd... going to try it...

really appreciate your videos and watch all the time... wish a muskie angler would do something similar...

Love how Tim gave Matt the Atta boy tap as he grabbed the net.

I've been on a flutter spoon bite the last 4 trips, the bite is insane. 3-5lb bass so far and big sandies and some channels

Great video guys

I'm a bit late to the video but thanks for sharing this. Lately I've been looking at old-school fishing and you can't get much more old-school than spoon fishing. Love it

Awesome info Matt! Never really fished any of these but I’m gonna add them into the mix now!

What about casting and retrieving on bank fishing , I don't have a boat? do you bait the hook? The flutter spoons I have are just plain hooks. I really like fishing spoons.

By the way great informing video . thanks ! bob

I watched and rewatched and will be using all these. Thank you. Merry Christmas

Awesome video and professional informative presentation. Thank you. I enjoyed every minute.

What brand are the wide spoons

Through the late winter & early spring, my step dad and I could only get bit on blade
Baits…silver buddies. Fishing pretty deep,we would mainly pull in smallmouth.

Awesome video! Very informative!

My wife says she really loves spooning! Now I know exactly what high end combo to get her for Christmas! Thanks Matt!
