WHAT'S INSIDE Lure Autopsy and comparison: The New Larger Yozuri Mag Darter 165F: 

Yo zuri hooks are serviceable and do well at resiting corrosion. BKK vipers, are my go to for upgrades now.

Thanks! The MD is far from a secret weapon. I'm just glad we got what we wanted with a larger version.

LOL I hate losing "good ones" I cringe when i see guys on the internet "repaint" a lure that has caught tons of fish. I actually went to my dentist after filming this and x rayed a steez and a savage gear line through. looked pretty cool. I kinda want to do more but it's a hike to get up there and they only have small slides.

+Teresa Ercolani you should see what I do to junk mail

lol

I would say the exact opposite

@@dennismiklas6349 do you also hate fast cars and puppies?!

Why he would cut it open is to get subscribers, and ultimately money from advertisements.

@@Anthony-jh5xc Nah......this was a new product....when you're fishing for fish that potentially could readch 70lbs and 40 to 50 are common.....ya want to know how it's constructed.

The problem with the sebiles (stick shads and bonga jerks.) They are like scuba tanks. Air pressure builds as they get warm. It's just that the plastic isn't strong enough to withstand the air pressure. They sold 3 versions of bonga jerks. Oil/glitter filled, Foamed, empty. I've had stick shads and bongas crack. But I don't worry about it...they catch!!

For lures started with over 20 Euros here in Europe it´s unacceptable. Especially when there are more quality problems like, glitter/fluid running out and sinking versions missing all leads and floating instead. But yes they do catch for a while.

Don't forget the lead weights breaking free as well :) But yeah..you're right

Great bait...one of my go tos this spring....stripes to 44" on it so far...the hydro minnow has been great too!

Tackle Advisors I also like to use the crystal 3D minnow for striped bass over in the Chesapeake bay

Cool. Great bait. I usually let the fish tell me. I've caught on a slow steady retrieve. As well as hanging it in rips. Oceanside i've done best casting pretty much parallel to the beach and retrieving with the rod tip low. With some sweeeps and pauses mixed in.

Tackle Advisors any comparisons on the casting difference between the daiwa sp minnow? Love the channel btw

Thanks man! Casting distance comparisons are proving to be more of a challenge than I thought. I have a tub of baits that I've been throwing on a measured field...But I don't like the footage. I can get better distance with the 165MD over the 175f and S SP minnow. But that's with a rod rated to either 5 or 6 or 8 ounces. Rods rated in the 1/2 oz to 2........ 3/4oz to 3 ........or 3/4 to 4 range they throw almost the same. The lighter rods I was getting about 75 yards comfortably. The heavier rods 110yards. With the SP minnow (going by memory) 95-100with a heavier rod. The sp minnow threw further on a lower arcing cast and seemed to get out of shape on a high arc (at the apex of the arc)and really cut down on how far it went. THe mag darter didn't seem to matter. Both baits could be "overthrown" SO if your timing is off or you rip a cast too hard. They get out of shape and don't fly straight effecting distance. I spent a lot of time with these two baits because a lot of the internet was saying the bigger Magdarter and bigger sp didn't go as far as the smaller sizes ( i found this not to be true.) They fly the same distance with the lighter rods. But with heavier rods they definitely go further. The only way the lighte baits go further is if you really step down in line diameter. These are fairly large so I was testing them with 30lb ( abs 50lb braid and (40lb abs 65lb braid) I may be off a hair since it's going by memory and i've been testing a lot of rods reels and baits over the past 2 months :)

Tackle Advisors hi. What do you mean hanging in tips? Pausing it? Jerk it like a freshwater jerkbait? Freshwater guy moving into saltwater here. Caught one on the small mag today trolling. Also, my daiwa bg 4500 is starting to make noise on the retrieve, what can the issue be?

Owners and decoys are offered in those sizes and I think strengths. Have you looked at them? Not sure but vmc may make a extra stout smaller hook in their tropic sparkpoint series.

Also you can try owner singles or gamakatsu single 510 hooks

These exact ones i really like them and theyre accurate and consistant amzn.to/2ruGJsW

30 to 50 is what I use. 60 to 80 mono if boofish are around

Never mind!
