How Fish React To Different Lures **Underwater Bite Footage**



Let’s head under water and look at how fish react to a worm, a swimbait, and a jig. Tim presents all 3 baits to a variety of bass and watches their reactions. Its amazing how differently each fish reacts . Some lash out immediately, others ignore one bait entirely and then come to life for the next. Take a look and then share your take aways with us at the end.

The biggest “tell” about how a bass will react to a bait is its dorsal fin. If that fin starts standing up or moving rapidly you know you’ve got a fish that’s fired up for a bait. If you make a change and the dorsal settles, its time for another switch. Its always best to have a variety of baits tied on and ready so you can adapt quickly to each fish’s temperament.

Some of our key baits for sight fishing (and fishing in general) are a dropshot worm, jig, small swimbait, and large swimbait. Below is a breakdown of the specific baits Tim is using in the video. Comment below and let us know what you learned from watching how these bass react.

    It's early spring where I am right now. What this video taught me is about nesting fish and season. Now anything can happen. An aggressive territorial bite with well timed hook set can land a fish. However, it's almost a futile endeavor to fish super early spring. Although any day of fishing is a good day of fishing. Still worth being out there. Good video 👍

    I’m cracking up catching myself over analyzing the fish’s’ micro expressions like they’re human 😂

    A good bass video to do would be the different strikes from the same species, according to size…..the most subtle, nearly undetectable bites come from the largest fish….(Largemouth Bass)

    Not judging anyone but repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. The Lord Jesus died and was resurrected on the third day for us so that we might have eternal life through believing in him and obedience to him and the word. Accept the lord Jesus as your savior today if you haven’t already have a blessed day.

    ive been fishing for almost a decade now. and this footage taught me more in 13 mins than i did in 10 years. specially the "big takles being nibbled and not really hitting the hook." thank you so much. if that same video could be done in the sea that would be freaking amazing.

    I can’t get into fishing I dunno what a jig is I thought that was a movement I thought dropshot was a way u put ur hook in I catch fish not trying most of the time I can’t set up a pole very well cause I don’t like spending time setting it then it breaks of a snag almost immediately and takes me forever on top of that I don’t catch anything in the Ohio river or lakes in West Virginia I still go and fish but I don’t know why guess I have nothing to do I’ve used so many different baits it don’t matter

    Had to watch this because I just never understood how the fish ate the bait and hooked it on them
