Bass anglers have many lure options for targeting shallow water bass, but few moving baits perform as well as a weedless swimbait around grass. Wired2Fish’s McKeon “Keys” Roberts takes his pedal kayak for a ride around a small town lake and discovers bass are scattered across grass flats and even buried in shoreline cattails and bullrushes. He chooses a weedless-rigged swimbait to cover water quickly and mimic baitfish — the weedless swimbait hook and streamlined paddletail swimbait fishes clean across grass flats and also through dense stands of shoreline vegetation.

Keys stresses the need to make targeted casts to any discernable cover like emerging lily pads, laydowns, or pockets in shoreline cattails. He details his rod and reel setup, stressing the importance of using a powerful rod and a reel spooled with straight braid for getting solid hooksets with beefy hooks and from a seated position.

He is very good!
I love mckeon’s videos; awesome info, awesome content, he’s a great filmmaker and a great fisherman.
Need more videos with Keys! I can watch that dude all day
What the name of swimbait?
Great video
Great info and video 🤜🏽💥🤛🏽
I’m definitely going to have give this a test 😃 Well done Bud, great day out 😃👍🏼
Another great vid. Like you, I fish waters that hold both mondo buckets and toothy gators. When casting swimbaits, you regularly get that "hookup moment" only to be broken off by a toothy. Have you run into this situation? I sometimes use leaders (single strand titanium or 80 lb fluoro) but it changes the movement of the bait and the bass can get really fussy. What has been your experience w leaders? Thanks
Nice!
How do you feel about an under spin on your plastic swimbaits?
Glad to see you release them big girls, and all of them. Was out tonight and a guy came off the lake with a stringer of 6 bass, two of them looking over 3 lbs. Makes me sad.
we call that a pond and you are slow rolling waking it?
Man is there any small fish in that lake? Lol…that's a good day of fishing right there
Big or small, it’s nice to hook em all!
Ark rods and Lews reels! Exactly what I use!
That’s just too much fun 👍🎣🎣🎣😁
My favorite way to fish for a bass.
You should try the BBZ Rat 30 and 40. Those barely sink, very similar concept to the Swimbait , but extremely sharp hooks, and works better in a boil situation.
Awesome video, really enjoyed this episode 😁😎👌👍💪🎣🎣🎣🍺🍺🍺
I love ti
