| 4/24/26 | ![]() 2026 Show 1 | Swimbait Fishing Secrets for Walleye, Bass, Crappie & More with Hooked Up Wisconsin | Paddle tail swimbaits might be one of the most versatile lures in freshwater fishing. In this episode, we sit down with Caleb Wistad of hookedupwi to break down how he fishes swimbaits for walleye, bass, crappie, pike, trout, lake trout, salmon, and just about anything else that eats baitfish.

From there, we dive deep into soft plastic paddle tail swimbaits, including body shape, tail action, jig head selection, hook size, line choice, rod setups, retrieve styles, and color selection. We cover when to use subtle swimming action versus heavy thump, how water clarity affects swimbait choice, why many anglers fish swimbaits too light, and how heavier jig heads can help keep your bait in the strike zone.
