I have read articles that say to treat a bleeding fish with Mountain Dew, and articles that tell you not to. With that being said, I have probably seen Mountain Dew stop a fish from bleeding and keep them alive in my livewell 50 times in the last 15 years.
@@citydogpack I was fishing a team tournament with a buddy that’s in my club a couple of years ago. He deep hooked a fish and poured some Sprite in its mouth and the bleeding stopped. I’ve been doing that since! Works every time!
The skipping action when you reeled in that first cast quickly was pretty nice. Reminds me of bait jumping out of the water when a big fish is after them. I could see a mixed slow with a few rapid pops retrieve being money too.
Cool to finally see the action, was eyeing this lure before. Gonna keep commenting for the algorithm and to get reviews of the Psycho Stick! (And Hakai reel?)
I just discover your channel with this video and I would like to thank you for your very clear and understanding English! I'm French and it's not easy for me to understand most videos when anglers are speaking fast or with an accent 😅 I've learned a lot of things with you, thanks and don't give up! 👍 Yoann
I have been thinking about a lure like this for some time, without ever seeing anything on the market. I've thought about doing a floating wacky rig but this looks incredible. Bought some instantly. Thanks.
The fish you have caught almost attack every lure I want to know about different lure for different fish I don't bleave on ur lure it's fish who attacks every lure can you show carp lure Grass carp lure etc
I have tried to stop bleeding with many things that I had in my boat: 3/8” socket, broken sunglasses, an inappropriate text, Tabasco, old sock, other fish, lottery ticket, 16lb left handed bowling ball, and smoked oysters. I never thought of trying Mountain Dew!
I usually dunk them back into the water and the bleed will stop most of the time because there blood doesn’t coagulate in air like ours does it’s takes h2o
I carry a jar of vegan mayonnaise and rub down the bleeding locations on the fish. Use a counterclockwise motion for best results unless it is windy, then only go up and down.
Man, I'm digging the JDM route you've been going lately! I'm all about using those oddball baits that most people have never even seen! Went to buy it, all that's left was 2 in clown. 🙁
If a fish is bleeding that u caught don't poor Mountain Dew because it's really not good for them it's harms their gills. So the best thing u can do for a fish that is bleeding is just put it back in the water as soon as possible and usually the bleeding will stop because of the way their blood reacts with water. An if u wanna take a picture just let it sit in water for a minute and usually the bleeding will stop.
@@MattyWongFishing The sugar may also play a big part. My sister sustained a deep laceration on her hand as a teen and our neighbor, a Marine poured sugar on it - stopped the bleeding instantly.
Other than the body curve, I think you could put an eye top center on any topwater. If it looks like it may not hold well, just run line though top eye and tie off on front eye. Bing.
I would say that the piku piku is like a technique called shading, wich consists of rigging a shad shape soft plastic or similar in the middle of the body, like a wacky rig, and work the lure near surface making those sublte twitches, in fact piku piku means twitch in japanese.
Well good luck getting your hands on these anytime soon. I think I'm going to modify something instead. This is also something I'm going to try with the Nikko Ikanago minnow hooked wacky with a small treble hook.
This is a variation of the Niko rig used by Shimizu, field tester of Shimano.... Hook in the middle of the body and small weight at the head of the lure.... It wriggle like a mosquito larvae, head down at the bottom and body up .... It is a killer rig...!!!
Nice thanks for video, I subscribed to your channel a few days ago very informative and straight to the point. I got a family member that lives in Japan maybe I can get my hands on Japanese lure cheaper than here on the states. Thanks again keep posting 👍😎
The curve probably helps the action of the pikupiku. But if you have a slightly curved jerk bait with 3 trebles, take the hook off the middle and try it out!! I was just thinking the same thing…
Hey brother I have a real serious question. I’m fishing 50 pound braid and 20 pound leader on a flipping pole with a Texas rig or a jig and this morning I broke off twice on the hook set. Am I setting the hook too hard? Do I have the wrong knot? I’m just really discouraged after loosing those fish this morning because they had to be 6+ pound fish so I’m reaching out asking for some advice please help a brother out
More than likely yes. Where exactly did the line break? If it broke at the leader knot then it could just be your knot. Have you tried an FG? If it broke elsewhere it could be the hookset. If you are using braid to flouro you might want to back down to a MH power and a more moderate action or you could try more of a pull hookset. You basically have zero stretch with braid to flouro so all the energy has to give somewhere
@@BassFishingHQ it didn’t break at my leader knot, it broke my Fluro line. Twice. On 2 different fish that I have no idea how big they were! I mean I caught some fish that were solid 2 pounders but these fish that I broke off on were complete tanks.
@@BassFishingHQ and brother everybody that sees my bass hat I got from you is asking where they can get one too and I always tell them to go subscribe to your channel and they can order themselves one!!
Hey Tyler just got my first piku 78 and your video is great but my question is why is there an eyelet on the nose of the bait. You only talk about the tie on the middle of the back? Your advice is always welcome and keep up the great videos.
