Swim jigs are a fast way to catch bass! You can cover a lot of water and catch big bass! Today I’m using a white 1/4 once jig with a couple of different white trailer from Yamamoto. I’m also using heavy braid because there is a lot of submerged Hydrilla and when a bass over 3 pounds tangles deep into it, you need at least 50# braid to horse him out! I’m also fishing out of a 17′ Canoe with a Power Pole system.

What's up Roland
Hey Mr. Martin,
I am a new fisherman. Why does the lighter braid seem to snag on the reel when I cast? It’s like it is wound too tightly, but a machine wound it at a local camping store.
Awesome
I love schooling bass
Hi Roland, did you try fish in salt water in Florida ?
Take full advantage of that beautiful spirit you and we all posses
It's crazy to see a legend like you fish in a canoe! Do you just like to switch it up and get away from the boat and motor sometimes?
I just recently switched to 50 lb braid… watching your videos…it's great for tying leaders but it seems to really kill casting capabilities…I'm casting about half the distance since I switched… maybe it's the rod/reel I dunno
My uncle said black and blue swim jigs are the best for big bass
Roland Martin is the fucking shit!
Hi Roland, love the vids. Can you post a link for the rod butts you use please? Thanks
Your the Coolest😃♥️
Thanks for another exciting and educational video.
Roland your videos have made me a tremendously better fisherman. Thank you!!
Hey roland! Happy senko de mayo🤣
Illinois closed all ramps! Bunch of idiots. Been watching your shows for many moons. Been watching Scott's vids and Hillary's vids. Your granddaughter is going to be a force in bassin. Great show R!
Ol Roland don't go fishin….. He goes catchin!!!!
I'll have to try the swim senko has a trailer, good day catching giants Roland
Hey Roland, can you put a link to some of the baits/lures that you use?
Hey Roland! I am puzzled about something and I trust your fishing wisdom. When Carolina Rigging everyone seems to talk about a fluorocarbon leader and this doesn't make sense to me. If Floro sinks, which everyone says it does and that's what I experience, why wouldn't the leader be a mono leader given that mono doesn't sink near as fast? Isn't the idea of Carolina rigging to have the lizard or worm floating above the vegetation?
Lovely video really enjoyed it thanks for the good advice 👌
Roland, I love watching your fishing videos, and learn something as well. You and Jimmy Houston are my favorites….You are extremely positive whether you are catching big fish or not. After all it’s called Fishing, not Catching!!! keep the great videos coming……
How clear does the water did to be so you can use a swim bait?
Great day. Be safe.
Roland Martin leads me in the world of bass fishing! I started bass fishing after watching his clip.
What trailer is he using ?
I truly enjoy watching you fish and have for 35 years. Thanks for all your tips. This would have saved my last outing had I watched it sooner! You sir, are a treasure for all fisherman!
Hey Roland, where are you fishing in the everglades? I'm several hours away and would love to fish there but it's so big and I have no idea where to begin. Thanks!
“I’m out here by myself!” A lone tear falls down the camera mans face.
Thanks for bringing us along!
Love the videos.
keep on rockin Roland
You make it look so easy. I just retired in central Florida. Bought a kayak. Tons a great lakes to fish nearby. Shallow water full of hydrilla and other vegetation. I am struggling. Tough to keep lures out of weeds. I use a top water toad a lot but setting the hook from a sitting position is not easy even with heavy braid. Miss most of them. You don't.
Where do you launch when you fish the everglades.
Sometimes simple is better , caught many bass when I was a kid , fishing the creeks and ponds. Didn't have alot of money so we used swim baits similar to yours and beetle spins and Mr twisters were big as well.
that's a nice seat you got in that canoe.thanks for the video
25 years ago we were throwing gito bugs
Roland, where do you launch at in the everglades?
I’m from Oregon and they’ve closed all the state parks which is most of the bodies of water around me so I’ve gotten into bass fishing at the big farm ponds and stone quarries I’ve found near me and your channel has helped me discover how fun bass fishing is keep up the amazing vides
I’ve been hitting bass on nothing but the jig up here in Ohio if you ever fish grand lake st.marys would love to fish with ya
SONNN
