Why Small Swimbaits Are Absolutely LETHAL in Fall (Full Afternoon of Non-Stop Action)!

Hello, everyone! Today we’re proving why small swimbaits are the deadliest (and most underrated) bait once the water cools down in fall. These little paddletails absolutely crush crappie, bass, perch, sunfish and everything else when fish school up and feed aggressively.

I’ll show you:
• The two combos I never leave the house without in October/November
• Exactly how I rig them (jigheads, line, leader, scent, glue tricks) [see below for details]
• The deadliest retrieve – including the “slow roll” fall technique that triggers bites
• How to find the fish without livescope/forward-facing sonar
• Real on-the-water footage of non-stop bites all afternoon

If you’ve ever wanted a simple, deadly bait you can fish all day and stack fish after fish – this is it.
