Bass Fishing with Big Swimbaits in South Florida
what size cardiff
how deep do you fish it
try throwing monowith
nice vid
Thanks man!
Which would u suggest 6" or 8"?
Do u hav any prob on the weedless Huddleston on setting the hook and keeping the hook in its mouth?
is that a cardiff 300 series or 200?
Yes, the 6 inch will be fine on that rod.
I have a 7'0 medium heavy veritas do u think I can throw a 6 inch hudd on it without having any problems?
Peace river
10lb it was on a river
Very cool. I've always thought that 8 inch BBZ would be a great lure. What's the biggest bass you've caught on it?
I'm with you on the big baits they work really good for me I use the 8 in bbz trout I caught a 10lb bass on it but I live in south west Florida but they love big baits
Where did you send it?
Awesome. I like to hear from people are that fishing these baits.
I sent a piece I wrote about Hudds. Just stuff I've figured out. I hope you don't mind. You can see that I'm nuts about these baits. Good luck!
It took me a while to get bit too. Once I figured out a retrieve speed, I started getting it. Now I fish it with utmost confidence. I'm not set up for the 8' yet but can't wait to use it. I've even tried cutting weight off of one but it's still too heavy. I have no doubts about it being too big. (I want to weed out less than 3 fish) The weedless 6" has been getting crushed lately. I have to fix it up every night. I have 4 of them and am gonna order 2 68's tomorrow. Mike, Ca.
i use the six inch huddleston on 12lb mono and never had a problem
all gerth no length
Haha, I've seen that Butch Brown video a few times. I will check out your striper vid.
I use braid with a fluorocarbon leader. For the 8 in Hudd, I have 80 lb Power Pro and a 30 lb Yozuri Fluoro leader.
400A. The big one.
I dont know. I order them from Tacklewarehouse online. They are the best.
Can you order that Hudson style online anywhere in Fl.???
@catfishaddict It's perfect for both. That is exactly what I use it for most of the time. I have the 7ft heavy action.
@AllDayBass247 Five pounders will eat it no problem. If you live in Florida, go with the rate of fall -5. The ROF 12 sinks too fast for our shallow waters.
@NWIbass Absolutely. You can throw the 6 inch on any conventional bass rod/reel. I've thrown it on my med/hvy Carrot Stix with no problems.
The 8 inch Hudd would break my medium/heavy carrot stix in one cast.
Hey, nice informational video, you think I would be able to throw a 6" huddleston trout on my 8' EXTRA EXTRA heavy carrot stix gold stix rod? rated for 2-5oz lures, thanks!
@boarandbuckhunter Yes, always.
do u buy your swim baits from tackle wearhouse?
@MrBassfishin13 Thanks, me too
@coosess Thanks a lot for the nice comments.
@gowolves4 You get better hook ups for sure. However the first time I used a stinger hook, I gill hooked a 5 and 1/2 pounder. When they eat these, they really suck them down. I don't want to kill any lunkers.
I live in Jacksonville Florida and I am a lot like you in age, background, style of fishing and all. I just want to say that I really like your videos and your style. It's nice to see someone share their fishing experiences and wisdom with viewers. Keep up the good work and keep that line tight!
@AllDayBass247 Thanks a lot man
@BASSMASTERZACK I'm pretty sure I have the 400. I'll look at it again and let you know if it's not.
@bamablast101 Yeah it's tough.
@TheManOfBoys be more specific
@TheManOfBoys Next time I use it, I'll post a vid
@wesgardner23 Thanks for the sub and comments. Don't rush into buying the big swimbaits. Do it when you're ready to question your sanity every time you use them!
