Fishing ledges and bluffs requires a unique fishing style not often used in other aspects of bass fishing. Matt Allen of Tactical Bassin demonstrates how to fine tune your equipment to keep a jig (or any other bait) in the strike zone longer.

Man that is an awesome tip I never ever thought of that I'm in all right now thank you!!!!
Daiwa reels are designed to have a couple thousandths of end play on the spool. I used to use shimano reels….never again!
Lol loving your older videos. And wow your camera gear has definitely gotten better over the years. Cool matt love your guys info. Honestly I'm always afraid of a bait caster.
One of the best videos yet
Your a badass Matt, straight up homie👊
great vid helped me catch a few more fish thank you Matt
As always great tip. Going to have to try that… 🙂
the GOAT
Would love to see a video on discharges like you'd see on a power plant lake. We slay on Fayette County lake in TX fishing the ledges of the hot water discharge channel throwing C-Rigs but I'd love to learn how to target the larger fish in these stacked up schools.
Awesome tip. Thanks.
great info.
Wow. Such a game changer I had no idea but this completely repainted the picture!
with freeing up your spoil could u not just tighten up your brake to help with casting? to me you want you spoil tentioner free as possible to help smooth up the reeling no matter the technique, but still make minor adjustment with the tentioner.
Can you please cover rod and reel comb. That looks like 7 plus medium heavy with a 6 gear reel
What size weight? 3/4 fast fall? Or light for slower fall?
another great video here. are u using a mic. or is that stock go pro mic?. I use alot of go pros and audio is always a issue
Wow! I've been doing it wrong. Thanks for showing me how to do it right.
Nice vid 🙂
what kind of rod do you use? 7'3? 7'6?
Can you do a tips n tricks on how Bass look on sonar the set up and settings and how to fish them in open water. I'm seeing a lot of Lowrance gen 2 touch las on trolling motors

Nice video Matt
Nice video. If you use spinning gear in this situation no need for adjustment ☺
Super bummed. Common knowledge for any descent angler. Totally feel like you just crapped this out for TW, been a big fan for a long time of you're clips.
Well I guess I am all set already since I almost never ever use tension. I never understood why everyone uses it like its a mandatory thing. It makes you cast harder while making you less accurate and almost defeats the purpose of having a butter smooth reel. It is almost a totally useless feature for me. The only place it has is on reels with no brakes or just mag brakes. I think people are doing them self a disservice by using it and should try to avoid it like the plague.
GREAT video Matt, very informative! LOVE all the videos man, keep em coming!
Hey Matt great video! I have a tournament at clear lake in a week and was wandering if you had any recommend spots or baits that are working well out there right about now?
Great video. Will give that a try the next time I'm fishing that nasty wall!
great video matt! i think i could definitely apply this to flipping docks and other vertical cover to let the jig fall straight down. it would definitely beat trying to pull line out manually with my hand to create slack.
incredible how much knowledge you have, this is a very useful tip, and i will be sure to use it if i ever face the time where i need to do it, awesome video! tight lines
Well, if a fish bites while you freespooling your line, you're not gonna be able to set the hook fast enough. I use this technique too, but I never disengage the reel once the lure hit the bottom.
Well done! Details such as this mean the difference between fishing and catching. This requires more skill and concentration on the angler;s part, but it is worth it. Same issue when fishing a tube or drop shot on a spinning tackle next to vertical structure. Open the bail to allow a more vertical drop. You can feather the line with your finger to maintain control and contact with the lure. Yet again, very good information and well presented. Thank you for taking the time.
Matt, great info as always. I appreciate your willing to teach others to become better angler's.
