Great to see you back. Good trick to use with those beast hooks is to pull out and extend the screw lock so that the coil is not so compressed as they are with the vanilla hook, that help with the screw ripping out from the plastic guite a bit.
My man! So glad you’re back. When I found your channel last year I went back and watched every single one of your videos. Can’t wait to see more on that Coalition Baits Gill!
hey buddy i am happy to see u are uploading again im from indiana so its not alit of big bait slangers here idk why we have big bass the northern florda hyibrids just cold more then west lol
Always a great day when keepingitrealfishing uploads a new video! Excited to see reviews on the new baits especially the coalition baits bluegill! You mentioned a long-term review on the shell cracker if I remember correctly that's what caught your PB!
Welcome back, good to see you again. Lotta nice baits there that I’ll be checking out including that last bluegill which I actually already have. Hoping you can do a review of large perch baits. I’m sorry on a small lake and there’s a blue gills the bass will hit but they annihilate perch. Looking for a good plastic perch or even a hard bait in a large category.
I feel like a geek lol. I saw the notification in school and had to announce it to a bunch of my classmates lmao. They laughed, especially cause none of them like to fish. All I could think about was your video lol. Now you can be my excuse for bad grades!!!!
Those Coalition gills do look good, looking forward to some reviews on them. Also, 6th Sense makes a Mag and Mini Mag squarebill if you're looking to do a side-by-side comparison with the Lucky Craft. Great content as always, sir.
not sure if you know but I'm in jersey swell.I would love to get together with you and do some big bait fishing.Let me know asap, before the season ends.
Great video! Was wondering what your fish finder recommendation is and what battery you use for it? I have a 12.5 ft sports pal that I bought used after watching your videos/reviews and I want to get the most out of it
Thanks! I have the Lowrence HDI-5...its from 3 or 4 years ago. They no longer make that exact model, but I think the "Hook" series is similar. Really....I would recommend the highest model you can afford. I think for what I paid for mine, which is a 5" and 2D sonar and down imagine, you can now get a 7" model with more features for the same price. Battery wise I use a Powersonic 12V battery (POWER-SONIC 12V 26AH PS-12260 PS-12260NB) They are marketed for UPS back up, but are just right for a sonar application on small craft. The 26ah is a good capacity that can get you through an entire day with power left. If you only go out for a few hours you might want a small size (and amp hour).
Lunker city made muscle worm. I caught many large bass on these in past. I think they stopped producing them for awhile. Unique shape and action. Worth the google search. My only experience with lunker city was enjoyable 10 years ago.
Hey great videos they are really insightful I’m ordering my first real swim bait set up for bigger stuff than I am used to I’ll be staying around 6” stuff at first except the hud Weedless shad 6.8 so the lakes and ponds I fish here in south Jersey are still full of weeds and grass I’m about to place my order tonight and I’m not sure about the line to buy I have the spider wire invisible braid 65 lbs test I don’t want to loose any baits and the little experience I have with Floro is 15 pounds n up it has crazy memory what would you suggest for a bigginer with hud 68 in sloppy lakes n ponds
Also the weight of this first batch of lures I’m getting is 1 thru 2 ounces and I am ordering the Daiwa DX 8 foot swim bait rod I love their reels so y not but should I get a heavy or medium heavy?
Hey man - all excellent questions and I hope I can help steer you in a good direction. In terms of the line, that one is pretty easy. I would recommend 65lb braid going to a 20lb mono or copoly leader. If your going to be using these swimbaits in primarily heavy weeds then the leader isn't as critical, although I still like to use it. In clearer water I would def use the leader. Reason being many of these baits excel as slow speeds, and because of which (I believe) line clarity may play a larger role. I would recommend getting familiar with the Alberto knot. Its SUPER easy and quick to tie and in my 5 years or so of using it I think I had one failure (I dumbly didn't cinch it down all the way). Here it is from the man himself - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J56O3CZVu7M.html Not only does it allow a little more peace of mind in terms of line clarity, but another huge factor is having some stretch in your system.....particularly in that moment when you get a GIANT close to the boat/shore. That leader may be the difference of your hook(s) staying planted vs tearing out. In terms of leaders I've used a ton.....I'd recommend Berkley Big Game, McCoy Ultra (Green or Clear), and P-Line CXX.
@@bassjunkie4881 Based on the weight of the lures your mentioning I would go with the MH. I've handed both it and the Heavy. The MH also has a good taper to it such that you can throw treble hook lures as well, which the Heavy is much more backbone and really for jig hook soft baits and weedless baits. Plus, you'll get a lot more distance casting on the MH.....with lures in the 1-2oz range it will load up well and give you good distance.
Besides Swimbaits I Like Lipless Crank Or Vibe Baits Like Rattle Traps And Sebile Flatt Shads,Those Are The Only Companies That Have Big Lipless Cranks.
GET WITH MARLING LURES channel, he could make you a super sick HULA POPPER. I'm still watching bother....why? I don't bass fish!! But, maybe I'm waiting for you to buy one of those new black RYOGA'S???
