Thanks brother! It definitely was

Thanks, it was a fun one! 🤘

Appreciate ya! 🙏

Wow, thank you 🙏 I really appreciate it

Lots more coming for sure 🤘

Appreciate you watching! 🙏

Thanks brother 🙏 Chunky Bro indeed haha

No its a custom blank made for Katana Rods

Thanks brother 🤘

Its a 9’ Katana custom rod wrapped by SoCal Trout Cartel 🤘

I appreciate it 🙏 I definitely dont consider GSF Supertubes “knockoff’s”. They are outstanding baits that absolutely get fish to the net, as you can see in the videos. The hook up baits are great but I dont feel much like paying $20 for 1-2 baits 😬

@@SeaSpankerOutdoors sorry didn't mean any disrespect. GSF sells 4 for 16.99 and Hookup baits sells 3 for 11.99. id say they are equal in cost. Hookup baits work and Ibsee GSF works too. Was just wondering. Will keep watching your content thanks 🙏

@ lol no disrespect taken at all, its a fair question. Unfortunately on this platform you cant detect any tone in these posts haha. If you can get them at $11.99 thats awesome. I’ve honestly never seen them less than $17 for 2.

@SeaSpankerOutdoors they have different sizes 1/4 and 1/8 oz is 11.99 at Bass Pro Shops the larger like 1oz and bigger are 14.99. To 16.99 depending on size and those sizes are 2 to pack. I'll try the GSF but you should try the Hookups too. The owner of Hookup bats kills it at pyramid lake.

Skunk days are just part of fishing sometimes. Ive definitely had my fare share haha. Dropshot is a really great way to get em to bite 🤘

Yeah It can definitely be tough there at times. The videos make it look like the bite is just on fire. Just keep working super tubes or spoons right near the dropoffs and it will happen eventually 🤘

Thank you for watching 🙏

They are available exclusively at Golden State Fishing Custom Baits. Use Code SEASPANKER and you get 10% off on baits and weights. Here is the link www.goldenstatefishing.shop/

No worries, it just takes some time to get a good feel for it. Going to different lakes and fishing different water conditions, it takes me a while to figure it out myself. If your not feeling contact with the bottom but your still getting weeds, try raising your rid tip, increase retrieval speed, dont let your jig sink as long, etc. 🤘

Outstanding! Great to hear it worked for ya. Thats very true about that technique, it definitely has its time and place but it sure is fun 🤘

I appreciate it 🙏 I got them on Amazon, here is the link LULUME Stainless Steel Rod Stand... www.amazon.com/dp/B07TWVL23J?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I really try to do both when I can but working baits in like jigs and dropshot is alot more fun to me

🙏🤘

Yeah I can’t lie, its a really nice set up for sure

Outstanding! Truly the greatest trout rod I ever owned 🤘

I actually don’t prefer high gear reels for jigging. Ive just learned alot since then. You can certainly jig effectively with a HG reel but a lower gear reel is much better and easier. I like reels with something close to a 5:1 retrieve now

I dont have a specific video on that but there are several videos that I go over it. Here is a link to one I found that goes over micetails at the 9:02 min mark kzbin.info/www/bejne/bquTXquior-FhMUsi=mZ4KsrjicgCPS7V2

Its a FishPond Nomad Boat Net. Outstanding net but they are spendy 😬

Yeah but my OCD prevents me from doing that. I always gotta grind them off haha

Yeah its definitely something to think about 🤔

Hell yeah!! Thats what I like to hear!! Thats all it takes, just get that first fish and your off to the races 🤘

@ yup I got addicted now. I’m go to Irvin lake. This Saturday. I caught a 4 lb there. I love going to the mud hole. I see some of your bait there in the spot you go fishing in your videos. That’s my go to spot. May be one day we can catch fish together.

Thanks brother, yeah I was actually looking for a black mat for future videos 🤘

@SeaSpankerOutdoors Great!!! Thanks man!

No worries its a Katana 7’6” Mod Fast action. It doesn’t have a model number yet as its the first production rod they have done. It has Fuji Torzite Titanium guides and comes in either a split grip or full tennessee handle. Its an outstanding rod designed for throwing ultralight baits like mini jigs and minnows. You can get one at www.goldenstatefishing.shop/

I dunno, Ive caught lots of wild trout in Montana, Utah, and even the Sierra on mini jigs and minnows. Also lots of stocked trout. Trout, wild and stocked, feed on a variety of things available to them in each body of water so there are several ways to catch them

Montana trout might not be as smart as stock holdovers because they grow up in more natural, less pressured environments, especially when they’re young. In places like Montana, trout get more space and fewer people messing with them, so they don’t face as many challenges early on. That means they don’t need to learn how to be as cautious when reacting to a foreign subject On the flip side, adult trout/especially those released into busy or stocked watershed already been through a lot. They’ve seen different baits, lures, and tricks, so they’re much more cautious and harder to catch. The tougher environment forces them to adapt and get smarter, which is why they end up being much more aware and harder to fool than montana trout.

🙏

Im sure Ill run into ya out there soon 🤘

Thanks Lee 🙏

I wanna say about 30-40’

@SeaSpankerOutdoors thank you. I always wanted to know that

No, never got one of those. How do you get on that call list?

I always launch at the main ramp. Lots of room and your right in the middle of the lake.

🙏
