Underwater Swimbait Footage! Best Swimbaits And Paddletails Compared!

14 of the top swimbaits compared underwater! Come below the surface into crystal clear water and watch how these popular swimbaits and paddle tails swim. You'll be amazed how different they really are! Some are ultra subtle, some vibrate wildly, and others have wide wobbling tails. Which are your favorites? Which are our favorites? Let's find out!

When it comes to picking a swimbait most anglers just listen to what's popular. Let's set popular aside for a minute and look at how the baits actually move. Which ones jump out at you? Are you attracted to the baits that run true with a wide kick? Perhaps you like the baits with heavy body rock with the hook flopping wildly from side to side? The beauty of this underwater footage is you can compare the baits and know exactly what they're doing the next time you head to the lake!

Below you'll find links to the exact gear used in the video. We've linked both heads (Tactical Finesse and Guppy) along with all the swimbaits. The swimbaits are listed in the order they appeared in the video. We've also included our favorite colors for each.

Fall Swimbait Tricks - Which Swimbaits Catch More Fish?

Swimbait fishing is easy! As soon as you know the subtle tricks you'll start catching fish consistently. Have you tried swimbaits on your home lake without success? Are you the guy thats wondering if your lake even has a swimbait bite? We're here to tell you that EVERY lake has a swimbait bite, it doesn't matter where you fish or how small the "average" fish in the lake tends to be, bass love eating other fish. The issue isn't the bass, the issue is a combination of (lack of) confidence and the wrong (swimbait) tool for the job. Today, Tim is sharing all his confidence baits. He's covering everything from giant glidebaits all the way down to finesse paddle tails. Tim's goal is to explain how to consistently catch bass using a variety of swimbaits throughout the Fall.

Swimbait fishing is all about details. Knowing which baitfish your bass are targeting, what times they prefer to feed, and where their ambush points are, may seem overwhelming at first but don't be intimidated. You'll be amazed that when you start paying attention to the subtle nuances these questions and more will answer themselves during the course of your fishing. As your knowledge increases, you naturally gain confidence and your success will sky rocket.

Preparation is also key when swimbait fishing. Understanding the fish is half the battle but preparing your equipment is equally important. Many anglers go through the time and expense to hook a giant swimbait fish but fail to land it because their gear isn't up to the task. Large swimbaits require more specialized equipment than any other lure in bass fishing.

Below is a breakdown of Tim's favorite baits by style. We've also included a full breakdown of the rods, reels, and equipment he trusts to land those giant bass once they strike.
