How To Choose The Right Swimbait! (Underwater Swimbait Footage)
Come underwater and watch how different swimbaits move in the water! Paddle tails, wedge tails, and glide baits, are all fish catchers in cold water, but not on every lake. Here are the details you need to know so you choose the right baits for your fishing.
We spend the majority of our time in Winter talking about Wedge tail swimbaits. This style of bait is the most effective in the majority of situations... but that's just the surface of the subject. Today we're going in-depth and looking at how glide baits and paddle tails can also benefit you in the cold water months.
Below you'll find links to the baits discussed in the video. We've listed them in the order they appeared, have included our favorite colors for each, as well as any rigging components you may need to fish them effectively.
