Hey Baitman, it’s amazing I just got a notice to watch this, and I liked it 3 years ago 😂😂 I remember first following you at 900 subs man time flies and fishing has quadrupled in the past 5 years…. Still good stuff and video 😜👏👏👏

@TheBaitmanTV 2 года назад

Crazy. RU-vid must be telling me or you something lol

@whipporwill2303 2 года назад

I can vouch for the hog farmer 100%. Gives excellent action and the bill is perfect. And it has a dang good hook on it as well. I run a 5" jerky j on it and have caught giants. I would like to try the others you mentioned here too. Thanks for the vid!

I used them back in the 80's when i started surf fishing with curly tail grubs down in rosarito, mexico for perch.

@OLDAVE1000 3 года назад

Well done. These baits have been around longer than 2006. We have thrown luck e strike scroungers since the 80's, but who cares. Very underrated bait.

They catch for sure!!

@anthonymacaluso1488 6 лет назад

My dad told me he used to fish the scrounger jig heads back in the 70s for stripers , not a recent release of the platform. I just don't think alot of people use them, they have led me to some bass tournament purse winnings though

Great video. I need some help. I live here on the west coast and fish the Delta a ton. The delta has a lot of subsurface vegetation and we typically fish braid on the river. I've been having a problem with my braid twisting to the point I have to strip the line off. I checked the bill and the bait and it runs straight. What am I doing wrong?

Just a helpful tip, super glue is hydroscopic. So it needs moisture to cure. After you glue it, give it a quick dip in the water and it will cure almost instantly.

Hey baitman just subscribed to your channel, great info. I did have a question I notice that my scrounger head with a jerky J wants to spin around and around twisting my line instead of wobble, what am I doing wrong?

@TheBaitmanTV 6 лет назад

Make sure it’s perfectly straight. Use a slow reel. What model scrounger are you using

@blakehornsby5775 6 лет назад

I am using a 7:1 but i do reel it slow. I am using the scrounger brand in 1/2 oz because I did not know about the others until this video.

Scott Smith first thanks for subscribing. It is a great cold water technique. I’ll go with light lime and 1/4-3/8 oz. heads with a super fluke jr or the small jerky j on the back. Super slow roll around deep bridge pilings, points, or around suspended balls of bait

Yeah. I have learned since this video that lighter line is the way to go. 12-14lb fluoro. Parabolic Rod as well! I personally like the hog farmer and Picasso the best. Spunk Shad and Jerky J

@mikelanning5148 6 лет назад

What do you think about the Zman 7 in fluke type bait? It doesn’t seem to tear as easily to me because of the elastec material but still has decent action. What are your pros and cons?

@TheBaitmanTV 6 лет назад

great bait..the one with with elaztech is securing it on the hook shank. I think the hog wobbler would be the best one with the wire keeper.

@YankeeTankerOutdoors 6 лет назад

Thank you for this video... I for the life of me could not figure out why in the hell people are throwing these so much lately.

@TheBaitmanTV 6 лет назад

I'll be honest. it is something i had struggled with being effective with..then one day I smashed their lights out.. When bass are aggressive with big crank and swimbait seem to be effective. When they are moody and hugged on the bottom the scrounger seems to get a few to bite Then again, us fisherman love BAITS that catch checks

@muskbeard3924 6 лет назад

It’s funny that this is just now becoming popular because of Jason winning on Kentucky lake this year, cause I’ve been throwing it since jerky j first came out with it... all these heads are inconsistent. I like it on just a zman chatterbait pull off the skirt and your good to go. Just be sure to glue the plastic. That zman chatterbait shakes way harder than these plastic bill lead heads. FYI guys trying this technique it only works for schooling bass chasing Shad. You might catch some just throwing it down the bank or off points but it shines best when they are chasing shad

@TheBaitmanTV 6 лет назад

I respect your opinion but a disagree It works on more than schooling bass..I have caught individual fish I have seen on DI

@TheBaitmanTV 6 лет назад

The scrounger is also designed to be a subtle presentation. It is not designed to thump like a chatterbait. Apples to Oranges. Its been popular 3-4 years now..if not longer. But it has certainly become household tackle talk due to the success on the TN River

@muskbeard3924 6 лет назад

TheBaitmanTV didn’t say you couldn’t catch a individual fish... I just said it shines when fish are on ledges chasing shad. 3-4 years ago I could buy them on TW and at my local tackle shop, actually they were at a discount cause they were not popular. Now in the last year, sold out everywhere!

@TheBaitmanTV 6 лет назад

Your exact quote "FYI guys trying this technique it only works for schooling bass chasing Shad" And that is not a correct statement, just from my experience, however each lake is different. Just saying, that for the purpose of this video, it is about how to-riggin- and bait selection. I think it is a disservice to viewers who may read the comment section to say, this technique only works one way when its pretty much been proven its more than a schooling fish bait.

@jonhudgins7798 6 лет назад

Musk Beard this bait has been a staple for my summer fishing for 10 years, it’s way more than just a schooling fish chasing shad. It’s a phenomenal bait for igniting suspended fish!!!

@mikeadams4605 6 лет назад

How do I know if it runs right? :-) I picked up a couple of 3/8's Fish Head Dude scroungers. I saw them at my local shop and wanted to try the technique out. Are they any good? They look nice....but seem head heavy compared to the Hog Wobbler or Siujin....at least the way they are built. My local lakes have smaller shad vs large gizzard shad....how much should I downsize? Is 3/8 too big?

@TheBaitmanTV 6 лет назад

The action will make the bait shake back and forth..the tail should have a whipping action. The scroungers dont thump like a chatter bait and it fools some people. Its a subtle technique. 3/8 should be perfect for you.

That 7 foot 3 pitching rod is the one I'm most interested in out of the non AGS lineup but I've been waiting for a review on it, how sensitive is it how light is it what's the balance like I made Iowa guy and mainly use Steez SV and steez AGS rods but something about that shorter pitching Rod piques my interest and I would like to know more about it

@TheBaitmanTV 6 лет назад

You do not need SUPER GLUE on the PICASSO SUIJIN. I have caught 15 plus fish and never had the bait slide down. Another reason not to glue it is so you can reuse different baits.

@@TheBaitmanTV but why? It’s just a jointed fluke.

@TheBaitmanTV 3 года назад

Blade minnow doesn’t have the same action as a fluke. Not does a Zako. Neither really have much action, actually. They’re great chatter bait trailers. It would be hard to thread the blade minnow on a scounger. But definitely experiment and try. 👊

@firstlightangler6049 3 года назад

@@TheBaitmanTV well I’m just brain storming. If the scrounger is like a chatterbait with a soft blade it just seems to make sense that a chatterbait trailer would be best. I’ve used flukes on scrounger a but haven’t tried the others. Seems like the scrounger blade produces more toll where a chatterbait produces more shake. Shake is better for jointed soft baits and straight tails are better for the roll.

@TheBaitmanTV 3 года назад

@@firstlightangler6049 you’d be correct. The scounrger is a back and forth roll.

@jonhudgins7798 6 лет назад

Eric Block try to keep a little tension on the line instead of totally slack lining the bait down. This way the bail will actually “swim” down, you might even get more bites on the fall!

@TheBaitmanTV 6 лет назад

Thanks for the tips Jon

@jonhudgins7798 6 лет назад

TheBaitmanTV really like this video, especially the point about not using a boot tail type bait with the scrounger head, can tell you how many people I’ve tried to tell that it’s counter active to the action imparted to the head itself!! I was fortunate enough to find a very large supply of my preferred 1/2oz large bill original scroungers!!!! I am encouraged by the Picasso offering and will be giving those a try! Thanks for the very informative video!

@e2block 6 лет назад

Jon Hudgins thanks for the response! That’s exactly what I’ve discovered as well but still overtime the twists can get pretty brutal for me. I was just curious if someone had come across a particular head, as I’ve only had a chance to try a couple different ones, where keeping your line taunt on the fall wasn’t necessary.

@jonhudgins7798 6 лет назад

Eric Block I’ve only fished a few different versions of the scrounger, J&S Kiblinsky, Original Scrounger and Lucky Strike. It really depends on line size, the trailer you are using and the brand in particular and how well it’s been put on the hook!! I just find that keeping a little tension on the line keeps the spiraling to a minimum!!
