I picked up the 6” Magdraft based on your consistent recommendations and I can’t make this up… took it out same day and landed a nice largey within 5 minutes of casting!! Thank you TB for the great content and info!!!
Swimbait legend! Thanks for all you do, Matt. Really inspiring. Literally better than anything on TV hahah. What a day!!!! Keep doing what you guys do!!!
Thanks gentlemen!!! Loved your recap.. you nailed it!! Picked up a magdraft to get into swimbaits and caught my PB first time out. 6 lbs 13 ounces. This content gives me even more confidence.
TB got me into bigger bait fishing this year and man has it paid off in a big way. Have caught several big fish on that 8” Mag, one being a new personal best at 8lb 9oz. Give it a go and don’t stop throwing it until you catch ‘em, then you won’t want to put it down lol
Thanks for these on the water videos, I can't fish & haven't been for almost a year, now as I'm going through health issues,! Videos are as close to real action as it can get for me, God bless,tight lines!
@@tacticalbassin you caught my pole… hahaha i’ve been watching you guys for years, absolutely love what you do, this is the best video I’ve ever seen, I took my nephew fishing seven years ago at Rocky Mountain in Rome Georgia, and he accidentally threw my pole in the water in front of the church, for you to actually hook into it and real it in and get it on camera is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen, what a small world. Keep doing what you’re doing.
I caught a 12” bass this weekend that had at least two 5-6” shad in its stomach. Also had one down it’s throat. One thing I’ve learned is don’t underestimate how big a bait a small fish will eat and don’t overestimate how small a bait a big fish will eat.
My uncle and I were fishing the California aqueduct last summer and he pulled up the whole setup just like that with the swimbait still attached. It was 7’ bigwater ugly stik, I think it had an ugly stik spinning reel on it also which I could not open to clean so I had to toss it out. My uncle let me have it. And a few months later that rod ended up catching 2 personal records back to back. A 31” striper on Sat and a 33” on Sun. The video is awesome! Thanks for sharing
I never knew about bass trapping baitfish in those pockets. next day went to a good pond I know threw a small chatter bait in it and caught two 3.5lbs and a 4 back to back to back. thank you sm
I have a couple 6" magdraft and trying to get myself to throw them more often. I can assure you I will be throwing more big swimbaits. Thx for the vid.
He picked a good lake to try that big bait on, lots of good ones caught there over the years. I have caught a few good ones on the other side of that causeway over the years.
Threw the Tactical Underspin 1/4oz/2.8 Keitech on a Expride B 7’2” ML casting rod/Aldebaran 50 today. Found my favorite Underspin and the perfect setup for it 💰
Thats awesome!! That combo would be a dream for the Underspin! If you get a chance we'd sure appreciate an honest, positive review of the underspin on Tackle Warehouse 👍🏼
Man Matt, Bull Shoals has been just how your saying at that lake. Alot of beds that are empty or with little bucks on them. We did have alot more water though, and then the Corp of Engineers, in all their wisdom, started dumping water and the weather dropped off so it got funky in the shallows. Deeper water is producing for me with swimbaits and jerkbaits. Man we need some steady weather...Im ready for the skinny water to turn on!
Beautiful big fish, that looked like a really fun day. I’ve been wanting to get my hands on the 5” Bacca Burrito in tactical shad. Tackle Warehouse has been out of stock what seems like forever.
I would love to see you fish the Bassmaster Opens. Not to prove anything but to see your whole process. You could easily have a video series that documented everything. I think it would be amazing. You are easily one of the best freshwater fisherman in the world. You consistently catch monsters.
Thank you Eric! I respect what those guys do but I'm just not competitive and have no desire to go do it. I love helping and watching anglers like yourself thrive and Tim and I are committed to keeping our content on schedule to achieve that goal.
Oh my, what a day! I really appreciate sharing the fishing…. But, I love that you took the time to teach afterwards. Really helps me learn fast, thanks Matt!
Had that happen to me a couple weeks ago, couldn’t buy a bite on anything I usually catch em on. Tied on an Swaver 168 and had a 4lber slap it and miss right at the bank then proceeded to catch a 2.5, 1.5 and a 5lb.
Great Video Matt. I have 2- 6 inch Magdraft baits but no treble rigs! I do have the large underspin single hook rigs but want to get the treble rigs for insurance!
Crazy day of fishing this weekend, boat motor quit on us so trolling motor only. Tied up with my personal best from about 5 years ago with a fat 6lb pre spawn large mouth. Parts on order should be back in the water this weekend.
Great fishin'!!! If you let that spinning rod dry-out, then use rubbing alcohol to clean the cork, any dirt and pond scum should come right-off the surface of the cork, and the cork will look as close to new, as possible. (The reel needs to be taken apart, dried, cleaned, re-lubricated, and then re-assembled, as you already know. [And I wouldn't doubt you need new drags, depending on what the drags are made of.] )
Coffee and TB to start the day! It really is easy to over complicate things. I’ve been wanting to get into swimbait fishing, just can’t make up my mind on a rod for bank and kayak fishing.
@@tacticalbassin mainly looking at the 7’9 Heavy Dobyn’s Champion. I’m not a tall guy, 5’8”, so it’s been difficult for me to decide on one I feel wouldn’t be a nightmare to throw from the bank or kayak.
Nice vid! Thinking about getting into swimbaits. Was doing some research and thinking about getting the SLX swimbait rod 7'3 MH and pair it with the curado k 200 since im fishing on shore. Maybe only use 4 to 6 inch swimbaits that are around 1 to 3 oz.
Love seeing a Matt Allen smashfest. I thought that Victory Ranger was the Megabass OG USA Onager, which is a badass SB rod I know Matt prolly still has
Really enjoying these longer on the water videos. Hearing your thought process is very informative
Anyone else stop everything they are doing to watch TB???
Every morning!!!🌅🙌🏻🎣👍🏻
Every time!😂
Hell yeah me
Yeah, my bos hates me for it
Double digits only
I picked up the 6” Magdraft based on your consistent recommendations and I can’t make this up… took it out same day and landed a nice largey within 5 minutes of casting!! Thank you TB for the great content and info!!!
Thank you Matt! You and Tim have taught me so much the past 2 yrs. You both are very good teachers and willing to help us learn to be better anglers
Thanks Ray! I hope you're seeing the benefits!
Great confidence booster for somebody like me that's just getting into soft plastic swimbaits. Thanks
Swimbait legend! Thanks for all you do, Matt. Really inspiring. Literally better than anything on TV hahah. What a day!!!! Keep doing what you guys do!!!
Thanks so much!!

Thats awesome! Nothing like instant confidence with a catch like that!
I love that little TB underspin with a 3.5 swammer
Wow Matt! Mark that lake down! lol What a fun a day! Thanks for all the work for the community!
Thanks Anthony! Too much fun!
Great day to get to watch! Fun video Matt!
Awesome session and great info!!
I absolutely love the magdraft! It just bring in fish, love your channel!
It sure does! Thanks for the support!
That first fish...what a beautiful bass.
Started fishing the Magdraft this year. Quickly became one of my favorite lures. There’s no doubt when you get a hit!
Right?? They SMASH IT!!
That's the go to. Budget finesse. Setup. Period ❤
Fishing northern pikes in Denmark with my 10” mag draft and it works. Go BIG allways
Great video Matt, as always love watching your Guy's videos learning new stuff.
Thanks Kevin!
Thanks for sharing. I've been using the Magdraft 6" alot with huge success. You've convinced me to try the eight inch now.
The 8 is a serious fish catcher too!
TB got me into bigger bait fishing this year and man has it paid off in a big way. Have caught several big fish on that 8” Mag, one being a new personal best at 8lb 9oz. Give it a go and don’t stop throwing it until you catch ‘em, then you won’t want to put it down lol
Great video Matt!!
Awesome day
Wow. Dude you know your craft, what an awesome demonstration of this.
Great lesson teach
What a epic day. Great vid.

Hang in there Donald!
Wow this was enjoyable! Love learning from you Matt. Thank you.
Thanks Micah! I appreciate the support!
Crushing it Matt!
Holy smokes!
8 in Mag Draft doing major damage
Great video,love swimbait videos
That regal is my favorite spinning reel.
Verify nice to finally meet Tim and his son yesterday on the water, hope to see you both on the water, keep making the great videos
It was great meeting you as well Chad!

was fishing earlier this year, dropped a doll fly for crappie into a brush pile, 14" bass grabs it. I was shocked and impressed
Nothing like a good ol fashioned big bait beat down awesome
Thanks man! It's been a while, I hope you're doing well!
Great video as always Matt! 🤙🎣
Thank you!
Bro. Im hooked now! Thank you
I’m sure you caught my PB five times today and just tossed it like a dink 😂😂😂. This channel is amazing and has taught me so much 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Absolutely great show buddy
Thank you!!
Matt is literally the ONLY guy I know who comes home from the lake with MORE gear than he left with.... 😂
😂😂😂
Thanks for the confidence builder, I've gone bigger this year than ever and I'm hoping 3lb 14oz is in the past! Fantastic presentation sir!
Thanks! Your time is coming, keep slinging those bigger baits 👍🏼
Thanks for the info!
You're welcome!

Great video Matt. And some great catches on the magdraft. I am going to start throwing the big swimbaits more this year.
Thank you Greg! Stick with it and the right fish will come 👍🏼
What a day
I love the Mag Draft!!! I live on Lake Fork and smashed them in March. The biggest was 9.18!
You had an awesome day!!!
Congrats on the 9! That's a BIG one!!
The greatest lines in fishing, welcome back to tactical bassin and my matt Allen favorite line,let's see if we can catch some fish,brilliant
Thank you Scott!
That giant on ur under spin was awesome man
Great video of an unreal day. Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us addicts.
Thanks for coming along!
That's why I always have a sharpening stone in my pocket, always touch up dull hooks.
Morning coffee with TB, life is good.
🙌 Thanks for coming along!
멋진영상 잘보고갑니다 굿이네요 ♡♡♡
Your my hero 😅
What a freaking Day.
Great video

He picked a good lake to try that big bait on, lots of good ones caught there over the years. I have caught a few good ones on the other side of that causeway over the years.
What lake is that?
This my friend would be my dream day. Golly!! Those were some great fish!!
It was a blast! Thanks for coming along!
Great video man. Ive got a couple Magdrafts in my bag and I need to start throwing them more.
Thanks Michael! They're definitely worth the effort.
Hammer Alert!

You wanna give that away ? Hahaha what a find dude, I love learning something new every time I watch you guys.
👏🏼
I just bought my first 8inch magdraft. 😂 hope I get a similar day
I dont see why you guys don't have 1 million subscribers. Great video.
Thank you!!
That was a great day of fishing 🎣 congrats Matt I'm jelly LOL!
Ha! Thanks Victor!!
Simply unbelievable! But it is.
Thanks Greg!
This is the 3rd channel I’ve watched in a week that has caught another rod 😂. I caught one 2 weeks ago myself actually
Beautiful big fish, that looked like a really fun day. I’ve been wanting to get my hands on the 5” Bacca Burrito in tactical shad. Tackle Warehouse has been out of stock what seems like forever.
Great video. Bassmd
Tim and Matt,
Great video thanks for teaching us all so much have been dialed in and Georgia catching dirty 30s each trip yahoo

Oh my, what a day! I really appreciate sharing the fishing…. But, I love that you took the time to teach afterwards. Really helps me learn fast, thanks Matt!
I'm so glad it helped!
I would love to throw a magdraft but I only have a MH bait caster. looks so fun!
Try the 5" Magdraft..pretty sure they still make them
Damn Matt can’t wait to chuck my 8” Mag this week!
They love that thing! Let us know how it goes!
Caught my pb this past weekend on the tactical underspin up here in WI
Awesome!!! Way to go!!
My guy..
My dude!!!
My brother from another mother!
He's always smashing them! 🤙
#Hammer😎🇺🇸
Thanks David! 👊🏻
Epic bite Matt!
Boat flipping giants with that Zodias 😂 I love my Zodias rods ❤
Had that happen to me a couple weeks ago, couldn’t buy a bite on anything I usually catch em on. Tied on an Swaver 168 and had a 4lber slap it and miss right at the bank then proceeded to catch a 2.5, 1.5 and a 5lb.
I just caught my biggest bass of the year on a 5.8 keitech. She was right at 4lbs!
Way to go!!
Sounds like Matt but looks like Tim lol. Great way to start the week. Coffee and tatical bassin
Would have been a great day to do a side by side comparison with the Daingerous swim bait but still great video man
I certainly appreciate that rod & reel you caught if you don't wanna keep it..
Great Video Matt. I have 2- 6 inch Magdraft baits but no treble rigs! I do have the large underspin single hook rigs but want to get the treble rigs for insurance!
Fun to watch! Great video Matt. I am wondering what kind of water clarity did you have and was it a factor in your depth and color choices?
Crazy day of fishing this weekend, boat motor quit on us so trolling motor only. Tied up with my personal best from about 5 years ago with a fat 6lb pre spawn large mouth. Parts on order should be back in the water this weekend.
Swim jigging on a 7’4” heavy fast st croix mojo. Slx 7.2 reel
Great fishin'!!!
If you let that spinning rod dry-out, then use rubbing alcohol to clean the cork, any dirt and pond scum should come right-off the surface of the cork, and the cork will look as close to new, as possible.

Any day you can hook up on nice fish and go home with more tackle than you left with is a great day.
Damn, you amaze me, Matt. Those jigs are hard to catch.
OMG you got the rod I lost. Teasting, I got the last one back; I'm not alone I see.
Coffee and TB to start the day! It really is easy to over complicate things. I’ve been wanting to get into swimbait fishing, just can’t make up my mind on a rod for bank and kayak fishing.
Great stuff as usual, Matt!
Thanks Ricky! Which rods have you considered? Perhaps we can add a little insight.
@@tacticalbassin mainly looking at the 7’9 Heavy Dobyn’s Champion. I’m not a tall guy, 5’8”, so it’s been difficult for me to decide on one I feel wouldn’t be a nightmare to throw from the bank or kayak.
Thats a solid option for sure. What baits do you intend to throw?
@@tacticalbassinstuff like the Magdraft, Burrito, Tactical Wake, and maybe some glide baits like the Spro Chad Shad.
WTF. This was insane. Good video Matt.
Thanks!! It was an absolute blast!!
Would you guys consider doing a knot video? Just the knots you guys use for swimbaits/glidebaits, line to line, drop shots, etc?
Sandiego jam perfect for swimbaits
If I'm not mistaken, there is one from a few years back. Look in their video archives on the channel...
At 16:44 that fish never stood a chance Matt practically skied that fish across half the lake
Love a swimbait video . How much did the biggest bass weight?
Nice vid! Thinking about getting into swimbaits. Was doing some research and thinking about getting the SLX swimbait rod 7'3 MH and pair it with the curado k 200 since im fishing on shore. Maybe only use 4 to 6 inch swimbaits that are around 1 to 3 oz.
Once u catch your 1st big bait bass...it's over...total addiction
Matt Allen with a Daiwa reel.. hell’s freezing over, pigs are flying 😂😂😂
Ha! We vow to try it all and form honest opinions so we can compare everything accurately... I'm following through 👍🏼
Love seeing a Matt Allen smashfest. I thought that Victory Ranger was the Megabass OG USA Onager, which is a badass SB rod I know Matt prolly still has
The Onager is an awesome rod and I do still have one 😆 But that was indeed the Victory and it's a gem for smaller glides and wakes.
@@tacticalbassin of course you do 👊🏻
Very excited for the video however..are we ever going to see a video from the Amazon? A teaser was posted forever ago and I still hope🙏
Amazing action Matt! I’m all in 💯 Thanks for the tips! Was that a 6 pounder you boat flipped 👍
Thanks Ed! I think the biggest one I flipped was around 7, the one that got netter was a little bigger.
