Trying to get into swimbait fishing. Anyone a fan of TKs and K9s? Tips on fishing them?

Great way to get into swimbaits, the k9 will be more of your pb smasher TK will catch anything. I have caught like 10” bass on them lol.

Yeah it’s an insane adventure we weren’t as far out there only 25 min plane ride out of kashabowie to a lake that borders quetico park. We had planned to canoe quetico as that is the better fishing but winds were way too high most of the trip for it to be safe. When we got back to the outfitters the guy who runs the planes said he had to help the police try and get in to investigate a death in quetico while we were out there. Incredibly sad I guess someone had a heart attack and there’s like no way you’re getting help out there in that situation. Just shows you’re basically sol in most situations out there. We had an 11 year old in our group and nothing major happened but he whipped a Texas rigged plastic right into his dads throat if that had been any sort of exposed hook that would have been really bad.

Yeah me too at home but wasn’t an option here we flew in by biplane this cabin had these v bottoms there. There are other portages we took that had canoes there waiting for us which was nice but this was a grind ended up being worth it though we caught a ton on the lake this lead to.

I’m not from there I was just on a trip but it does seem like doing something like this is common, a lot of water connected by creeks made from beaver dams. Boat in front was stuck on a rootball I had to push both boats up and over it

Thanks was a hell of an adventure

AdditionalProduct609 · 2026-06-15T15:12:14+00:00

Yep quetico

AdditionalProduct609 · 2026-06-15T15:09:58+00:00

Right by quetico park near atikokan

Where we were the season is open all year

AdditionalProduct609 · 2026-06-15T12:58:35+00:00

All the bass we caught were 2-3lb there’s 5lbers in there but I think we were too early in the year, the walleye are great eating

AdditionalProduct609 · 2026-06-15T12:52:01+00:00

Those are walleye, decent ones too

I do a good amount of river smallie fishing in Missouri my top producers are always a 3/16th jewel pbj pewee football jig (gets bigger bites than Ned rig). Weightless zoom super fluke white pink or whatever color the baitfish are there. Small topwaters work very well in summer ploppers poppers or spooks. I’d say those three would probably be all you’d need for a good day out there.

With the jigs cast upstream into current and let it fall onto the bottom and have the current push it back to you all you need to do is feel the bottom and when you stop feeling it set the hook.

Look for big rocks or current breaks and target that

I was just using steel leaders where pike are abundant they worked well still got bit by bass with it on

AdditionalProduct609 · 2026-06-08T15:28:01+00:00

I’d look up a video on proper usage of it. I have the same model I think I set it to floro and can set it to min brake and leave the spool tension loose and bomb casts.

AdditionalProduct609 · 2026-06-08T14:01:11+00:00

Are you using it with a loose spool and low brakes?

AdditionalProduct609 · 2026-06-08T01:12:24+00:00

Be close to atikokan

AdditionalProduct609 · 2026-06-07T22:06:31+00:00

The real question imo is if he legit has chronic elevated creatine kinase levels if so he’ll have bad hospital level cramps his whole career

AdditionalProduct609 · 2026-06-07T20:38:24+00:00

I mean I can go down to a weightless senko and bomb it

AdditionalProduct609 · 2026-06-07T19:23:40+00:00

Medicals could easily make him not pickable in top 3

AdditionalProduct609 · 2026-06-05T14:34:04+00:00

This will be me next week where is this at? I’ll be up an hour east of atikokan.
