Swimbaits

March 24, 2018 by Clark Wendlandt

A swimbait is a pretty easy bait to fish – you make long casts with it and just wind. Swimbait bites are one of those bites you have to be real patient with. You will feel them tap it. It’s almost like a worm bite. You’re just reeling that thing along, and you’ll feel it. Then when one bites it, until he loads up on your rod, you just can’t jerk. You’ll feel him pop it, but a lot of times, they’ll just pop it and then hit it again and get it. Swimbaits require a lot of patience and attention, but they are a great bait for catching big fish. Good luck out there!

Popular Lure Designer, Accomplished Tournament Angler Phil Marks Passes Away

It was really hard to hear the news of the passing of one of my oldest friends, Phil Marks. When I was at Texas A&M, Phil was my first tournament team partner for local and regional tournaments. Phil was one of the smartest people I’ve ever known. He understood fishing and engineering, which I know paved the way for his success as a bait developer. We basically learned how to fish together, and I have always thought he was one of the greatest I have ever fished with. I believe his legacy will live on for years to come. He will be greatly missed by us all. ... See more

Sad news to report on one of the industry greats.

Still can’t believe it sometimes. 2020 AOY. I want to thank everyone again for the support. I’ve been asked what my go-to baits were this year... and the baits I probably used the most and the ones I feel most confident in when I had to grind it out this year were a Strike King KVD 1.5 or 2.5 square bill Crankbait and the Strike King Rage Bug. Looking forward to carrying this momentum into next year!

Spending a few days up on Ray Roberts. My assessment so far... not catching a whole lot of fish, but when you do catch one it’s almost always a nice one! #teamoutdoors

It was a good year

We all have our goals when the year starts, but one of them is common to all of us. We want to fish the next Classic.

2020 Bassmaster Angler of the Year

2020 Bassmaster Angler of the Year It is hard to put in to words how it feels to have the greatest accomplishment of my career occur in the context of the most chaotic year of my life, and I imagine many of yours too – 2020. But in the midst of all the chaos, my job, while disrupted for a few months, resumed after a few months thanks to the efforts made by B.A.S.S to provide a full season for us. I am so appreciative to them and my fellow anglers for pulling together to make this happen. And … Read More...
