A swim jig can get a few bites almost anywhere. But if it doesn’t match the cover, depth, and how bass are positioned, you’re leaving too many fish behind. In Part 3, Tom Monsoor breaks down how to choose the right swim jig for the job so you can get more bites, fish cleaner through cover, and catch fish other anglers miss.

What you’ll learn: • How Tom decides where to start with a swim jig on Florida lakes, reservoirs, rivers, and tidal water • How bass position on weed edges, outside grass lines, current runs, and shallow cover • When fish are set up high, suspended, or on bottom — and how that changes the jig you should throw • How current, tide, and changing water direction affect swim jig presentation • Why eelgrass, hydrilla, and other cover types call for different swim jig approaches • When to use lighter versus heavier weed guards and how that affects hookups • Why hook angle, hook sharpness, and small design details matter so much • How Tom thinks about making a swim jig work in clear water, grass, wood, and deeper structure

Guest: Tom Monsoor — legendary swim jig innovator, tournament winner, and one of the best swim jig fishermen ever.

Bass Fishing Tips: A lot of anglers quit throwing good baits because the trends changed, not because the fish stopped eating them. In this episode, Stetson Blaylock breaks down the old-school lures that still matter, the exact bite windows where they shine, and why so many fishermen give up on them too early.

What you’ll learn: • Why some “forgotten” baits still outfish newer trends in specific situations • How Stetson used a Booyah Hard Knocker lipless crankbait at Guntersville with a slower 6.6:1 reel and 15 lb Tatsu • When a hollow-body swimbait like the Young Money Minnow is better than more modern swimbait options • Why subtle action mattered with cold water, dying shad, and grass in the back of the creek • When spinnerbaits, Texas rigs, lizards, and flipping tubes still play • Why confidence baits and knowing exact scenarios matter more than chasing every new lure

Guest: Stetson Blaylock — Bassmaster Elite pro, multiple time winner, and one of the best in the game at making old-school and modern techniques work together.

Bass Fishing Tips: Chatterbait color gets overcomplicated fast. In this episode, I break it down to the 3 color buckets I always start with so you can figure bass out faster, stop wasting time, and know when it’s worth dialing color in further.

We cover the best chatterbait colors for shad and minnow situations, natural green pumpkin and black/blue options, and high-contrast red and orange when you need fish to find the bait. I also explain my best all-around starting color, how I match trailers to each color bucket, and when blade color actually matters. If you’ve ever wondered whether fish just won’t eat a chatterbait that day or whether you’ve got the wrong color tied on, this is the framework I use to simplify it.
