Yeah you didn't mention shallow water with lots of rocks to get snagged on , it'll be good if you showed how to hook a warm up without losing it in snags
My PB walleye was caught on blue & chrome. With no net, I tried lifting a 10+ lb. Over a 4ft. rail before the line snapped and the fish dropped to the ground on the wrong side of the rail before it fell back into the Detroit River and swam off with the trap still in its lips. I heard those rattles fade away in the foggy night, and my heart still pounds like it just happened.
Suffix 832 30 pd braided line in Green Moss color. Use a Palomar knot. You will never lose another fish. Ask me how I know. I have caught hundreds of Bass. Even really large ones. Haven't lost a Bass in over 5 years. Give it a try! Shawn.
@shawnbeck2303 Shawn, I never leave home without it. When that magical night happened, superlines were yet to be a thing, & flojo was introduced 20 years L8r. Don't get me wrong, braid has been around before mono by decades, just not in the way it is advertised today. I'm also fond of Power Pro 30#. The moral of this story, The Detroit River, has been our sweet spot decades before it garnered the name Pound Town. This is testimony from a 58 year old lifer fishing it.
Nice video. Thanks for clarifying river left! The initial lift snap isn’t that clear, you’re not just going up and down, looks like you’re going up back upstream a tad no?
I hate when pro fisherman mix up power with action. There is no such thing as “medium heavy action”. There is such than as medium heavy power. Action ranges from extra fast, fast, moderate fast, moderate, and slow. Power ranges from heavy, medium heavy, medium, light, and then ultra light. As you are a pro fisherman I feel like you should know the difference between power and action. When you use the term “ medium heavy action” in your video are you talking about the power? Because like I made it clear, action and power are two different concepts and can’t be used interchangeably. And if you do use the terms interchangeably, it makes it very confusing.
I put a bobber stop on the same place the grip pin on a Mustad hook is and it also holds the bait on the ledge of an EWG hook, when I get a pack of hooks I sit down and put bobber stops on every one of them it is a must to hold your bait on the hook
How the lure got its name is really neat. I use these baits and am happy that they weren't discontinued as several others that I've had great success with. Just to name a few: DOA Shrimp with the pink flourescent tail, Yamoto Heart Tail, Xcalibur XEE4 suspending jerkbait, and the Mooney Hound by Yum. I'm still so disappointed in those that were discontinue. The Ral-L-Trap will continue to do the job. 🙂
I was in your shop in Orange yesterday. Last year I bought a 2x3 and enjoyed it so much this year I had to get a 30# bait/jig stick. You guys build some nice stuff. Wish I could have gotten a tour there👍
Here’s to Ms. Maryland, Alice, Marcus, Marie, Devon, and all of the wonderful folks that put the most fish catching lure, my favorite bait, together. Love y’all!
Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup ru-vid.comUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.
already have caught a 30# Blue Cat off of these (going to try to get a 60#+ next year). ru-vid.comUgkxzXmlErSqVAEGWFEKO530BvTqFDw53QW3 Definitely very strong, and sharp. Additionally, the gap is wide enough to actually hook a fish (not always the case with circle hooks). I purchased the 8/0, but probably should have got the 9/0 (they seem slightly smaller than other 8/0 hooks). Additionally, having the point in-line helps if you drift fish. I have yet to get a serious snag with one of these hooks.
Wow just seeing this out of the box ru-vid.comUgkxQr1yd4Zc6qJF-scTB6Zb9dQbVpviuRxB recommend I have yet to fish with this set up, but based on the first hands on appeal, I can tell this is going to change the way i pack and carry to a whole new level. If you fish like i do, you know the smaller and less stuff the better. I’ve added a photo of just some of my gear so you can see how serious i am about fishing.
Your video was the most clear information I’ve gotten yet from any other video !! As a beginner fisherman here in southwest Florida, this was great instruction….!!!L Jimmy
I remember when I was in High school, I was in a youth bass club. We got the opportunity to tour "Bill Lewis Lure Company" when they were down on Boltin street in a much smaller factory. But, the method they use today is the same they did back in 1978 when we toured there. I have been fishing Rattle Traps since 1978 and cannot count the number of fish I have caught. Interestingly, the measure cup they use for the BB's is a 45 shell casing. Back in the day, they used a ballpoint Pen Top to measure them. Great memories!
