Buzzbait and Spinnerbait Setup | The Truth Series Episode 15

All right guys so the last couple videos y'all seen a trend of me throwing kind of the same exact baits Y'all seen me throwing the untamed tackle h jig a ton So i'm not going to go back through all that But that's been one of the baits i've been throwing recently and i've been throwing a buzz bait a good bit And then a spinner bait a good bit, which I know if y'all watch the channel for a long time Y'all have never seen me really throw a spinner bait and for good reason. There's a very small Window where I feel like it's the best bait and that happens to be in the fall A lot of times the reason for that is the fish suspend Down three to five foot around some of this cover and the spinnerbait is kind of versatile You can fish it down three to five foot or you can burn it real fast from schooling fish So it is a bait that I keep on the front deck anytime We get into this like late fall kind of time of year spinnerbait is something I actually do throw A very small percentage of the time but they do bite it really really good around this time of the year So i'm gonna take y'all Kind of through these two setups. I've got a ton of questions on the buzz bait and the spinnerbait that i've been throwing So i'm gonna show y'all exactly What I do but first i'm gonna get y'all to take a look at my spinnerbait and buzzbait box This is insane This is literally how my spinnerbait buzzbait box looked when I just pulled out of the truck I didn't even have it in the boat because I don't throw these very often at all I've got literally one lost river lure spinnerbait that's white with half nickel half gold blades That's a half ouncer and i've got one little turtleback bluegill It's a spinnerbait that I bought for fishing down in florida because it looks like a bluegill with gold blades. So pretty dang Bare almost nothing a couple of buzz baits. That's a dirty jigs We're coming up with a untamed tackle one very very soon. But this is a dirty jig scott canterbury pro buzz Here's one with a customized blade and then here's one that I don't know. I just stole everything off of so I actually happened to this one Was I had a really good blade on it and a custom blade and a custom rivet and what I did I actually broke the hook off in practice so I could shake fish off and then when the tournament came around I took the blade and the rivet off of this one and put it on a brand new one That i'm not gonna i'm not gonna show in this video, but i've got it in the truck It's a custom one with a custom blade and custom rivet that I actually threw on lake fork in the tournament a little bit But that's what happened with this one. This is this is my practice buzzbait I just throw a blade up on there slide a toad or a soft plastic over and I'll throw that sucker down the bank So that's my practice buzzbait right there. It looks kind of janky, but that's how it is. Okay, so This is the exact spinnerbait. This is a brand new one But i've been throwing in this in this latest video it's simple it's white it's got a really good hook in it That's what I like about this. This spinnerbait has a really really good hook in it It's got a pretty it's got a bigger hook than some spinnerbaits It's got a really big barb on it, which is really important. I'm throwing this on 20 pound line a lot of times so I I want to have A relatively big barb It's not like a crankbait where you can get away with throwing something with a small barb because there's a lot of hooks and you're Using light line i'm using big line You know a seven foot three medium heavy rod So I want to have a big barb on the hook and that's really important for me throwing the spinnerbait around now That's just pretty much when i'm throwing a spinnerbait. This is what i'm throwing now every once in a while Got this one out of the truck This is just a kind of an example, but pre-spawn february march, you know Anytime anytime the water is actually a little more stained and I want that bait to go a little bit slower I'll throw this type of a blade. This is like a small colorado blade. I usually throw one bigger than this This is actually not a spinnerbait that i've ever thrown or probably I wouldn't throw this one most likely but this does have that big blade on it Just to show you an example this blade's big and slows it down a lot and it gives it a more consistent thump Like that blade spins slower and it gives it a slower thump coming through the water Whereas these willow blades spin very quickly. There's two blades It gives it a very fast very you know Like it's a very high pitch kind of thump coming through the water where the other one's a lower deeper thump coming through the water So this one right here, you can get a lot deeper and in my opinion It looks just like a school of baitfish coming through the water And you can slow roll around some of these isolated places if you're trying to catch these fish So i'm gonna show you all the exact spinnerbait that i've been throwing i've had this thing tied on every since lake fork And I haven't changed anything yet. So this without you know Blazing past this too fast. This is the seven foot three medium heavy fast point blank rod This is the one that I built specifically for reaction baits You can see right here this hook keeper that I put on it I put that bait that hook keeper on all my reaction bait reels. I mean all my reaction bait rods. It has the uh, Fuji sk2 reel seat It's got the fuji titanium guides on this one because it's one of the earliest ones I built This rod is I didn't build this rod perfectly, but I still fish with it all the time Caught a ton of fish on it. Got a seven to one gear ratio reel. This is actually 15 pound I just said I used 20 pound line, but this is actually 15 pound line that's on this reel specifically But you know that that's just something I tied on to help me get this bait a little bit deeper around the standing timber on Lake fork that I was fishing So that's the rod reel point blank seven three fuji rod components fuji reel seat fuji cork and then now that's the line Now here's the spinnerbait. This is the exact one I've been throwing for a long time and the thing about this spinnerbait is it's got this It's got actually kind of a thinner wire than a lot of spinnerbaits on the market right now And it's actually held up really well But if I was gonna fish a tournament tomorrow I would probably go to the new one because this wire has caught I don't know how many fish 20 fish on or something like that So this wire has been through it recently, so I would change to another spinnerbait That's think about whenever you're using spinnerbaits If you go to a lighter wire spinnerbait, you're going to have to change spinnerbaits If you get on a bite where you know, you're catching 20 30 40 fish a day which can happen in the fall even though it's extremely rare you'll have to go through two or three spinnerbaits in a day because The wire is so you know thin that i'm throwing on this one You'll actually bend them out and completely destroy the spinnerbait now This one right here has a thicker wire and you can see whenever i'm holding them up side by side It has a thicker wire on it. This spinnerbait right here will probably last you, you know through 100 fish It'll absolutely catch them and catch them and catch them and catch them This one will not this one will break at some points. You have to always be using new ones but that's just kind of the you know, the What you're giving up to have a little more vibration with that thinner wire spinnerbait So you can see you can see whenever i've got this little three inch swimbait on back that hook really sticks up a lot It's got a really big gap to it big barb. Like I said on the other one And that's the trailer that i'm throwing. It's just a three ounce. This is actually like a uh, Just a regular style swimbait trailer three inch I cut it down a little bit got to wear sticks just past the skirt I want it to be kind of a smaller profile because the bait's really small this this time of year So you can see the blade the blades are relatively small and then i've got kind of a smaller profile bait So that's the one that i'm throwing right now all the time call it spotted bass on this thing But I caught a three pound largemouth over here and then all the way down to like some 10 inch spots So everything about this thing you can catch a bunch of fish on it and cover a ton of water That's the best part about that is like I said earlier You can fish it from you know Slow rolling it down eight or ten feet deep if you want to go super slow Or you can burn it right underneath the surface around school and fish and catch them all over the place. So now This is what i'd much rather be throwing. Let's just be honest topwater bait braided line heavier rod This is the exact buzzbait that i've been throwing a lot recently now I know y'all want to see that one that I was fishing on the Mississippi river with because everybody's like was that custom setup? What are you doing that? I can't show y'all that one. I'm, sorry I just cannot but this is just a standard, you know Dirty jigs buzzbait right here with a with a white horny toad on back and it's got 50 pound This is actually 60 pound k9 eight strand. It's about The castability of most brands 50 pound, but this is actually 60 pound nine strand It's got an eight point two to one gear ratio reel. This is a seven foot three heavy point blank Rod all the same fuji reel seat. This is this has does not have titanium guides because this is going to be my braid rod So I well, no, this one actually does have titanium guys. Now. Look at it. This is this rod does have titanium fuji guides and My point blank seven foot three loved on this thing This thing will absolutely launch this buzzbait around and that's one of the things this this rod loads It's an extra fast rod, but it loads actually really really well So when i'm skipping this thing under lay downs under docks, you know, wherever i'm trying to place this bait I can really load this rod up and it lets that lets it really skip and skip that buzzbait really far back up underneath there Then whenever you set the hook on this thing You have to remember now i'm using a seven three heavy and i'm using braided line You cannot set the hook almost at all because you will bend this hook out So whenever a fish blows up on it You just want to lean into them and start reeling very fast get his head up and pretty much ski him to the boat So had no problems with this haven't lost or missed any fish on it, you know very much at all. So That's my two setups. Y'all been asking me all the questions about If y'all like the video leave a like leave me a comment Let me know what kind of video y'all want to see come up in the future I've got some off time now Most of y'all know we're not going to start back up fishing until like next february or something like that So let me know what y'all want to see in the off season. Y'all know i'll stay fishing. We'll see you on the next one
