Kevin Van Dam Tips on Strike King Ned Rig & Thunder Cricket 

Gonna have to pin that comment, interesting, thanks for the info!

The Slugo is still out there, but most people opt for the fluke.

Ryan what’s the slugo

FYi Berkeley did no make the Slu-Go, Lunker City Lures did and still does.

Thanks for watching, tight lines!

No problem, tight lines!

Wait a second this is a story that I've never heard. I live in Kansas City and have talked to Ned quite a few times over the years. I've never heard this before. Can you elaborate? Awesome stuff!

Rookie numbers

Дело не в этом, а в том, что он Майкл Джордан, ловящий рыбу! Google Translate... It's not that, it's the fact that he's the Michael Jordan of bass fishing! 👊😜 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_VanDam KVD and Rick Clunn are the only anglers to have won four Bassmaster Classic titles. His 25 career BASS tournament series wins are the most career wins on the Bassmasters tournament trail.

I'm sure we crossed paths, it was definitely a fun show this past year ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_sGxZho-pF8.html

I appreciate that, headphones help

alanreyes29 are u stuck at home watching a bunch of fishing vids? I am lol WoOoOo... get me on the water!

Totally the best on the market

I wasn’t a huge fan of zman plastics they are wayyy to soft

Vincent Burroughs why ?

Vincent Burroughs please join my Facebook channel too I talk about the pros and cons of the z man product .

Dude same here, i can not get a bite with a ned rig. Dropshot isnt much better, although have actually caught a few on it. Youd think for being 2 of what some would call the best finesse techniques, theyd be a bit more productive. Or i just suck. Thats possible.

@@FreshAsFxck I dont think you suck, I think it's the rigs. Might work some places but some people also have confidence lures. I have mine that I know I'll hook up when I use them. Sometimes I feel like I dont give other things a fair try, but ned rigs i tried pretty hard. I also loose them like crazy on rocks and timber.

We just gotta keep at it i suppose. Eventually it has to work. Shakey head is another one that i cant buy a bite with lol. Maybe im just doomed to be a 1 bait wonder forever with my senkos lol. In any case, its time to go fishin. Tight lines brother 🎣

@Caylem Locklear how would I do that so ots not public

Nice, yeah I have yet to try a ned rig, heard nothing but good things.

You know it, Michael Jordan of bass fishing! 😋

Yeah, they need to get better speakers inside suburban showplace. Listening from a headset can help from your computer!

@@EternalAngler I listen almost exclusively from my Samsung Galaxy S7 cell phone

Southeastern Michigan

For sure Irwan!

Yup

Keep at it, I hear it's a great rig to use!

It's the middle of winter in Michigan, presentation has to be done indoors, Strike King Ned Rig and Thunder Cricket has are already proven to be two of the best baits to use on bass, KVD is just giving tips how to use them, listen up, he's the Michael Jordan of bass fishing... 😉 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_VanDam KVD and Rick Clunn are the only anglers to have won four Bassmaster Classic titles. His 25 career BASS tournament series wins are the most career wins on the Bassmasters tournament trail.

Eternal Angler OK. good.

This man made over 6 millions in bass tournament and won 4 Bassmaster.

He’s done more for fishing SO FAR in his life than your entire family line ever has or ever will do.

I know right, they used a crappy mic and speaker system at Suburban Show Place where they filmed this, not my camera, hopefully next year they get a better setup. Using headphones does allow you to hear better, I use Seinheisser to edit my videos. Maybe when I get around to it, there's some way for me to translate and add subtitles on youtube. I guess I should of done that from the get go in adobe premiere.

I'm going to try the RU-vid auto-generated subtitles.

Fishing is a lot more complex than that, lol, there's a reason why an angler like KVD comes on top over and over again in a bass tournament. One of the best ways for a sport to progress is by having the best of the best to compete in tournaments, having sponsors and companies like Strike King, this is how new lures are developed. Pros like VanDam give guidance to a company like Strike King on developing a new lure like the 12XD and 8.0, believe it or not both of these bass lures work very effective on musky. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-to9RwOQ08Tg.html I had a friend catch a 44" musky just the other week on the 8.0! bit.ly/2YXYAuq This is also how you stimulate a local fishing economy, bring more popularity to the sport, Michigan and the Great Lakes are a multi-billion dollar fishing economy due to pros like KVD and Kim Stricker, they're responsible for bringing cabelas, bass pro up to Michigan, along with the bassmaster tournaments. Not to mention, fishing was the only pro sport to still be Televised and allowed to be performed during the Corona Pandemic because of easily allowing athletes to social distance. So yeah, the advertisements are a lot more meaningful than you think to our Country and Countrymen! Have a friend that lives up in Iron River, he said all the fishing tackle is cleared out at all the Walmarts in the UP of Michigan... Fishing is the most constructive sport because anyone can do it, pro or amateur alike, take it as seriously as you want or just tie on a worm and hook to have some fun. Stimulate your Vitamin D levels from the sun to better deal with the virus and also get in healthy cardio when you're casting and walking, most constructive sport there is, you can take it how serious you want to, it's up to the individual...

Eternal Angler I fish with all different types of lures. I experiment with different methods as well. But I don’t walk around with advertisements on myself like a walking commercial lol

​@@smoothhead8804 Hahaha, well again, that's you, more power to you! But someone has to pay for Kevin's boat gas, traveling from one bass lake to the next competing in tournaments... Look, I'm not much into tournament fishing either, but things are changing, even the Googan Squad got sponsored. If you were Jon B and a had chance to travel the world, enjoy doing what you love by wearing a company's logo, would you do it? I'm sure you would! I've watched plenty of documentaries where too much corporate influence can ruin a good thing, music industry is a prime example. But so far with fishing, I don't see anything wrong with advertisements, what I don't like is monopolies, money channeling to one source considering Bass Pro now owns Cabelas, gotta make room for the small mom and pop fishing shops!

@@smoothhead8804 I bet you’d wear the sponsors on your jersey if you got paid millions to do it

It's just a presentation man, people aren't looking at how many fish he catches a swimming pool, it's the fact that he has the most bassmaster wins and is the michael jordan of tournament bass fishing.

I also find that the Googan squad has come out with a great ned rig worm that is what I used on my first ned rig set up. I notice that their soft plastic worms smell a little bit like jager, sweet licorice scent.

Getting a fish first cast is unlucky to me
