In this on the water bass fishing class, Major League Fishing pro angler Bryan Thrift is out on a clear water lake with spotted bass talking about fishing a Damiki Rig Underspin Head. This is a great technique for fishing for suspended bass. Thrift begins by talking about the tackle he uses when fishing an underspin: rod, reel, line, bait and jighead. He shares the his size and color choices based on water clarity and weather conditions. Later in the video, Thrift demonstrates rigging a paddle tail swimbait on an underspin, and the most important thing for getting the right action. Before making any casts, Bryan Thrift shares information on areas that he targets with a Damiki Rig Underspin Head, and shares a handful of tips for fishing this bait effectively around docks. Lastly, Thrift talks about why he chooses baitcasting gear for these lighter baits, and tips for landing big fish with light line on a baitcaster.
With the setup discussed, Thrift heads out onto the water to demonstrate fishing an underspin. He talks about how to fish the bait, gets a bite and demonstrates setting the hook and landing a bass on an underspin with a paddle tail swimbait.
