When to Fish Swimbaits on Underspins



A paddle tail swimbait fished on an underspin is an excellent presentation to locate and trigger active bass during prime feeding windows. Pro bass angler Brent Ehrler explains when to use moving baits like soft swimbaits, over slow, bottom-based presentations like a drop shot or Neko rig.

TACKLE USED:
• Yamamoto Kickin Zako Swimbait: https://wired2.fish/YamamotoKickinZako
• Yamamoto Heart Tail Shad Swimbait: https://wired2.fish/YamamotoHeartTailSwimbait
• WARBAITS Underspin Head, 1/2-ounce, color: Flagship: https://wired2.fish/WarbaitsUnderspin

• Daiwa Elite Casting Rod, 8′ Heavy Monroe (Replaces Daiwa Zillion Rod): https://wired2.fish/TatulaCastingRod
• Sunline FC Sniper Fluorocarbon, 20lb: https://wired2.fish/SunlineSniper

For Ehrler, it boils down to efficiency. A swimbait rigged on a heavy jig head supports long-distance casts to cover water quickly with a steady retrieve. He then may switch to a bottom bait like the Neko rig to catch additional fish. Ehrler walks us through a typical cast, emphasizing the importance of long casts to maximize keeping the bait in the strike window.

Lastly, he discusses his preferred rod, reel and line setup for making long-distance casts and getting solid hooksets with beefy swimbait hooks at depth.

  1. Man I've been ledge fishing with underspins for 8yrs now. I toss some small ones but I like to toss the big ones too. I tell ya if they won't bite anything else they will bite an underspin.

  2. I hope WARBAITS watches this video because maybe they can see that their blade doesn't rotate very much. It does not start turning until the lure is halfway back to the boat!!! Bad choice for the under spin head!!!
