When the fish are in the right mood you can't beat a glide bait. Most of the time I get them to just follow it in and at least I see what is really swimming around. Like anything I guess there is a time and place for them.
Yeah, that's what I really have to figure out. Oh ...this would be perfect for a big glide...I don't have that confident "ah haaaa!" Moment with them yet.
Always good to watch your unboxing vids. It's like a "this is what you need to throw for the next few weeks" tutorial. You haven't let me down yet. I have some of those worms in that colour so that's what i'll be focusing on this weekend. Had a great weekend with the dark blue/black stick so makes sense the dark colours working.
Excited to see the frogs, powerbait worms, and definitely that huge glide bait. I don't own or have ever thrown a glide bait that size, so I'll live vicariously through you.
Dude I can’t say it any more I love the unboxings. I’m goin fishing tonight so we’ll see. Also I just got the pocket rocket because of u and I love it. The action is awesome and the plastic is tougher. Love em already
All the frogs! I’ve had rotten luck with frogs this year, but it’s still loads of fun. Trust me first one I get you’re the first to know! Thank you for your videos brother!
Great stuff Debo! Really enjoy watching your show. I’m with you on the glide baits, kind of like finesse fishing. I’ve really got to come prepared not only with the gear but the mentality as well. Keep at it!
Down at the lake, quiet, peaceful, relaxed, listening to videos on RU-vid. Audiobook ended, click on Debo's new video. WHATS UP FEESHING FRIENDS!!! Holy shit! Bout jumped off the dock I was so startled. Had volume all the way up on audiobook and didn't know it. 🤣🤣🤣
Those EWG Owner hooks with the long neck are designed for tying a Snell Knot to increase hook-up rate especially when fishing a weighted Texas rig it will always pivot one way when you set the hook. I remember seeing a video on this on RU-vid. The knot aids in the caming action of the hook when a Bass strikes and moves off with the bait.
I just got a bunch of stuff from Grande Fishing Lurrs last week! So excited to try out some new baits! Been loving the air tail! Good luck with the new frogs!
Love that tequila sunrise color, back in the day I remember looking through those old Bass Pro catalogues and wanting all the cool colors of power worm. Just picked up some kinky beavers in Blacklight, SUPER cool looking color, can't wait to try it!
Power Bait, Culprit, and Zoom big worms for the win! Here lately I've tried Bass Pro Shops' 10" worm and it has performed very well. Caught 3 fish on the first worm and still had life left in it. I've always had good luck with Moccasin, Black/Purple, and Watermelon Candy colors.
I use a vmc ewg hook that has an extra long “neck” and it keeps the plastics on really well. I could only ever find them at gander though so I bought about 10 packs when they went out
Glide bait bro! Dedication determination. You’ll get get man . 10,000 casts but when it chomps 😁. Interested to see the molix frog in action . My kvd sexy frogs are a chore to get walking if at all. Good stuff DebO!
Great choices man! You'll love the FX2...appreciate the shout out as well. Strike King came out with a few baits in Tequila Sunrise a few months back...look killer! Good luck with the new gear!
Great haul Debo! Some solid baits for summer. You definitely need to only take swimbaits out without anything else. To much distraction, knowing you can catch some easier on something else. Those tequila sunrise worms are the ticket for sure. Keep up the great tips and advice buddy! 👍
You just inspired me to go to tackle warehouse and put a 🐸 box together, just put in a order for 12 different kinds and sizes. Should get them by my birthday on the 12 next month, we only have a handful of weeks left for good frog fishing. BTW Red Shad is my go to power bait worm color. I caught some of my biggest fish on that color.
I have the gold gill kaera, great frog. Most excited about the big swimbait, I'm in the same boat, trying to start throwing them myself. Be nice to see someone else struggle lol
I love the Berkeley powerbait 10” ribbon tail worm in motor oil red. It’s not the most durable bait, but I have a lot of success with it. Just got the tequila sunrise color. We’ll see how that does
I've got to the point where I only throw the 2 R2S frogs. The Bullywa walks better in open water and I prefer that frog there. The Ish frog is better in thicker cover, it has a flatter bottom and makes a nice indentation if you get some surface slop. That's my 2c on the frogs.
Debo, I do love my plastics so the worms you have all look interesting. With plastics you need good hooks. I am a big fan of the VMC resin coated hooks. Also a major Owner and Gamakatsu fan. This past year I also got into Mustad KVD grip pin super line and fine wire hooks. They have a unique bait keeper that works very well especially with Z-Man and other tough durable plastics. Not so well with Senko’s. I use them with Senko’s but they only last maybe for two fish. I am starting to use bigger hooks even on 4 and 5” baits. My theory is it is harder to gut hook and easier to remove. Not scientific but seems to work this year. The bites are subtle, hard to detect and by the time I do set the hook they have it for too long. The larger hook seems to solve that issue. I am using a good reel and rod so detecting is not the issue. I also like the hooks with the longer neck. I will give them a try.
I have tried using a cheap glide bait 2 or 3 times with one smallmouth follow right up to me before it turned away. So I just got an S-Waver delivered from TW yesterday in the lite trout color. I would like to see how you fish a glide bait like the Pistol Pete. A few days ago, I went early to a lake in the mountains where there is not a lot of pressure. Tried topwater for 3 hours with only one small blowup. I finally switched to black/blue plastic worms and ManBearPig in tramp stamp to catch 4 largemouth. All between 1.5 to 2 pounds. At least I figured out what they wanted.
I always rig the worm or any soft plastic to the curve of the hook point. I like that it covers the eye hole and the extra line and I feel like it gives the weight a drift landing when it cones back on the hook. Also makes it a little more weedless when Texas rigging it.
The berkley power worm tequila sunrise is my dads favorite lure also and blue flek thats crazy i swear that is all my dad threw that and a spinnerbait with a colorado blade always but tequila sunrise was a staple thats crazy and the powerbait also he loved powerbait because he said the scent was the best i know he outfished me alot of days
Debo, Debo, Debo... Want a big frog; SPRO King Daddy 90. A Musky took my first one on my first cast. (SPRO Dean Rojas Bronzeye King Daddy Frog Midnight Walker) What happen to the Mann’s SpringR worms? I use Tru-turn worm hooks on Culprit worms and fish them weightless; the color you picked is a good one. I always liked Stanley jigs and spinnerbaits. Very often; if you explore lure manufacture websites you find the most interesting baits not known about in most tackle stores. Three Stanley sell are the Sidetrac Cobra, Hale 6” Sidetrac Mudpuppy and Slide `N’ Glide Pocket worm. All are explained in detail on videos how they work. Most soft plastics are just the same old thing with a different name. The ones to try most are ones that have built in features no others have. Trust me; this is important and makes for great discoveries; seldom known to only a small few. These old boys are some smart anglers. They haven’t been sit-in around eating Moon Pies and drink in RC Cola all these years. Try some Mann’s 10" HardNose Floating Snakes too. Be careful; because Turtles love them. I once watched a big Pike lying under water under a bush hanging over the water. The bush was full of water snakes sunning. Mr. Pike was patiently waiting for one to drop into the water. And one quite big one came to a brutal death when it did. Try some D.O.A. C.A.L. Sna-Koil Soft Baits sold at Dick’s too. They come thru weeds and reeds better than frogs do. I started out using Doug Hannon ones and now use these two.
Someone was just telling me about those frogs, didn't know SPRO made them. I just fished the springer...that vid will come soon. I'll do a dedicated review vid on them too!
I’ve not had great success with larger profile frogs. Granted, I don’t often get to fish places where big fish are concentrated. I’ve looked at the R2S Ish frogs several times but haven’t pulled the trigger yet!
It’s 8:15 a.m. and I just got home from a 12 hour shift. Popped open the iPad and saw a new video had dropped. Saw in the comments that mr. Beck said I would be jealous over those frogs and he’s not wrong. I’m going froggin!!! Sleep is highly overrated. Can’t wait to see how those R2S frogs work.
Man I’ve thrown the powerbait tequila sunrise a ton and have never caught a fish on one. It’s not the bait, it’s me. I keep at it as I am convinced the fish will eat those and the bubblegum color. I’ll get it someday. Anywho - those big ass frogs look fun. Looking forward to seeing u frogging with those. And that silver bullet frog looked badass too. Cool stuff Debo. I always enjoy unboxings.
PowerBait worms.... I use those on a spinnerbait when nothing is working. I was on vacation for a week at the cabin and dude try it out. I caught alot of bass.
The kaera fog I've heard is very good. Have you been watching Tactical Bassin lol? I've learned a lot from them as I've learned a lot from you also 😉. Let me know how you do good Buddy.
Happy to see you throw any of those baits. I’m glad to see you investing in some glide baits. I was a big believer early this year cuz the Hybrids we’re loving them. I kinda wonder if it’s just a more aggressive tactic. I was thinking the same thing the other night cuz I threw one exclusively for about an hour with just a little 11 inch smallmouth. Those owner hooks definitely look awesome I’m intrigued by that longer neck as well. Always good stuff my brother!!!
Debo - I’m most looking forward to seeing you throw the tequila sunrise worms! Glide baits have never really interested me, so they’d be my 2nd choice to see how you make out with them.
