Zaldain: Bend the Hook for Better Swimbait Success
The Megabass Magdraft rigged swimbaits Chris Zaldain uses most frequently to catch super-sized largemouth range in price from $13 to $25 each. Yet, the first thing he’ll tell you to do is bend one of the three shanks on the factory treble hook out to nearly 90-degrees, and then use your pliers to squeeze the other two shanks closer to one another.
“Obviously, every facet of these baits is designed with meticulous detail and innovation, including the hook they come rigged with, but there’s two great reasons to straighten the one shank to nearly 90-degrees,” says the San Jose native who now calls Fort Worth home.
“First, by straightening it out and then reinserting it in the body, it stays anchored in the belly of the bait way better when it splashes down at the end of a long cast. And secondly, when I skip it around and under docks, it stays anchored way better too,” he explains.
Zaldain’s habit of using pliers to squeeze the two remaining exposed hooks closer is a reflection of years spent casting these favorite lures. And experience has taught him he lands more fish when the two exposed hooks are squeezed tighter to one another.
Fact is, he’s won a million bucks fishing professionally, cashing a check in a super-impressive 72% of the B.A.S.S. events he’s competed in, and he’ll unapologetically tell you if conditions allowed, he throw a Magdraft swimbait nearly every day. Thankfully for all us wanting to learn more, his gracious advice doesn’t stop at how to bend the hooks.
Just out of sight, and barely get the tail wagging
“Just like Jimmy Houston taught us all to retrieve a spinnerbait just deep enough to where you could barely see it flash, the same rule pretty much applies to swimbaits,” says Zaldain. “And as far as the speed of retrieve, you want to wind it just barely fast enough to get the tail wagging – no faster, no slower.”
Throw it at the most obvious stuff
You might think fishing pressure and a subsequently educated population of largemouth has ruled out most of the obvious forms of habitat such as bridge pilings, primary points, or that lone isolated dock that sticks out like a sore thumb – but Zaldain makes a great point about exactly why you should never pass those places up with a swimbait.
“Those places still hold fish, and while they may not bite a lot of baits on those spots, the thing you have to remember is the fish that live on that obvious stuff are seeing very few if any 6” or 8” swimbaits.”
CZ’s swimbait gear
When throwing his tournament favorite 6” Magdraft, he ties it to 15-pound fluorocarbon on a 7.1:1 reel and a 7” 2” jig pitching rod. But when he beefs up to the 8” version, his line and rod size follow – choosing 25-pound fluorocarbon and beefier a 7’ 6” flipping stick.
Don’t make the biggest mistake
When asked what the biggest mistake most people make with swimbaits, Zaldain didn’t have to think about it.
“People make five or six casts with it and set it back down. You gotta fish it, man. If you throw it long enough, there’s a real good chance you’ll get bit by the size of fish that’ll forever change your approach to this sport we love.”

Hosted by veteran fishing pro Mike DelVisco it’s sure to be a fun week of fishing content
Shelia Bunch, owner of the East Tennessee Fishing Show adds “due to COVID-19 and the unfortunate cancellation of our physical show I felt we needed to do something for the vendors that have been so faithful to us over the years” “Our show is so special in that it’sone of the biggest collection of unique fishing vendors in the country from custom tackle makers, mom and pop stores and major manufactures and the East Tennessee Fishing Show gives them the platform to expose their products to consumers not only from TN but from the many attendees coming from all over the country. “
As a result the East Tennessee Fishing Show will be broadcasting Live on their Facebook page and YouTube for the week starting January 18th.
We are in process of finalizing our schedulesand will be posting it on all our social media platforms. I’m excited we were able to come up with a plan to at least offer a little something to our valued vendors andallow them to showcase their products and services ina unique and fun way”
About the East Tennessee Fishing Show:
For over 30 years the Fishing Show has been held in the Knoxville area, with several owners and various locations the success of the show had been up and down to the point of failure.
In 2010 a new owner Shelia Bunch stepped in with a drive, passion and determination to create the best fishing show of its type in the Southeast.
The first thing that took place was the show was renamed “The East TN Fishing Show”. The next step was to rebuild the show with exhibitors and boat dealers with a 100% focus on the fishing industry. Each year there was steady growth which ledto reaching full capacity at The Jacobs Building and a waiting list of exhibitors. Due to the increasing demand the decision was made to move to the Knoxville Expo Center, with over 90,000 square feet of available space. The new facility allowed a more stream-lined move in and out for exhibitors as well as being in an area that is more convenient to restaurants and hotels.
With being the first year at the new location it was never expected to reach full capacity for 2016 but two months prior to opening daythe event was sold out of exhibitor space with a waiting list for 2017.
Our main goal is to provide you with a worthwhile fishing event to attend for all fishermen that have a passion for fishing and is fun for the whole family.

CLIFF CROCHET PARTNERS WITH WHITETAIL SMOKELESS
Louisiana pro to represent tobacco-free dip manufacturer in 2021
Pierre Part, LA (December 4, 2020) – Major League Fishing (MLF) Bass Pro Tour professional Cliff Crochet announced today that he has partnered with Whitetail Smokeless, a tobacco-free dip manufacturer based in Jefferson, Wisconsin, for the 2021 season.
Known as “The Cajun Baby”, Crochet will be competing in his 12th season as a professional angler when the MLF Bass Pro Tour kicks off with Stage One on Sam Rayburn Reservoir in March.
“We are excited to be working with Cliff in 2021,” said Rob Kieckbusch, Founder-CEO of Whitetail Smokeless. “The MLF fan base aligns with the target customer we are trying to reach and being able to support a true professional like Cliff makes this partnership a no-brainer.”
Available with or without nicotine, the tobacco-free chew alternative looks, feels, smells, tastes, and buzzes like real dip – a fact that is not lost on Crochet. “I enjoyed dipping tobacco for a long time, but as my family grew I decided that it was a part of my life that I had to give up,” he explained. “I tried a number of tobacco-free dips, but after my first dip of Whitetail Smokeless I knew that it was the closest thing to traditional chewing tobacco on the market.”
Throughout the 2021 season, Crochet will publish videos titled “Workshop Wednesday presented by Whitetail Smokeless” on his social media channels. The series will include fishing tips and tactics that have helped him earn more than $500,000 over the course of his professional bass fishing career.
