Want to catch more fish this Fall? It’s much easier than you think! If your bass are chasing baitfish, the addition of a blade to your favorite lure will have a shocking impact on your catch rate! The biggest issue in Fall is distracting bass away from the 1000’s of real baitfish, to get them to focus on your lure. A small blade does an amazing job of getting their attention!
Whether you throw swimbaits, Alabama Rigs, crankbaits, or any other soft bait, adding a blade is simple to do. The Tactical duo loves throwing swimbaits, but this time of year they focus almost entirely on underspins. Now you know why!
Below you’ll find links to the exact baits, heads, and terminal upgrades that Tim recommends. We’ve also included some great budget rod and reel options for fishing these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Serious question, hope I can get an answer this time from tacticalbassin! I understand that you guys developed an underspin, and so you push it in your videos. That being said just a few years ago whenever you mentioned an underspin, it was ALWAYS the coolbaits underspin. What makes your underspin superior to the coolbaits? Or why does the coolbaits not get any mentions? I'm a big fan of the channel, and because of your videos on the coolbaits underspin I fell in love with it. It's my go to when throwing an underspin. Thanks for reading. Awesome video as always
I think its important to also take whatever lure you choose when you see them eating shallow bait… Is to try different cadences.
Sometimes they want it swimming, strolled, hopped, or twitched. Simply changing your cadence on the same exact lure they didn't eat the first few times you tossed in there, can get them to come unleashed. #CheckYourCadence
You TALK too much man, get on to fishing “blah blah blah…”😅
Why are you releasing bro instead of keeping for dinner?
2.5 yamatanuki on fire in the northeast.
Fishing here in Western Pennsylvania mainly on the Ohio River has been rough. Mostly walleye the smallmouth have went vacant thanks for the tips and tricks man, love the videos
Thanks Tim! Had an idea for an educational series in case you guys were interested… Basically a condensed version of the raw videos you guys do, but segmented by technique and maybe with a little extra instruction.
think it would be great to see it all in action over a longer period of time. Would give you time to talk us through variations of retrieve, your thought process, how often you switch baits, etc…
Just an idea. But either way, keep up the awesome work! You guys have been a huge help in (somewhat haha)figuring this bass fishing thing out!
Will donkey rig work?
Hackney calls it the Mexican spawn😅
Hardly any NE fishing YouTubers… Weather, waters and fishing totally different in "fall" here…
Spybaits are just the ultimate banger. You can also add a bladed treble at the back hook, and that extra flash sometimes makes all the difference in the world.
I may be crazy but I totally believe it's the stained water I live kind of north but as our lakes green up from algea the water is still clear but more green. Gold blades are what works period. I don't know if it's more flash but more realistic flash for the water color if that makes sense
That exact underspin has saved me on so many days when nothing else was working, i have a full line up of them and like pairing them with the xzone swammer in different sizes and colors…ive gone a bit nuts this year building up my stock on that stuff…almost obsessive haha. Great video Tim.
First!
