I switched from Invisx back to Maxima ultra green mono and started catching more fish.

Flouro stretches nearly as much as mono. And once stretched, mono retains its strength whereas flouro is weakened. Sensitivity is all perception mono vs flouro. And i dont buy the visibility aspect either. Not trying to be argumentative but a LOT of the testing in the last few years favors mono.

Stop wasting money and just use mono…..another way the industry tricks anglers. I’ve fished Fla for the past 50 years and catch 99% of my bass on green braid and no leader.

Awesome thanks

For here I like the stupid rig cause we have so much grass or Texas rigging it

Moved down to the Ozarks to chase smallmouth. Picked up the tube, first day, caught 30 fish, including PB smalljaw. Couldn’t believe how effective it was. Thx for all the good info Randy…

Randy, Doug Garrett was a tube guru, also Guido, and Shaw Grigsby. I love tubes. I have some other riggings that are fun

Hey Randy my favorite tube jig head was the Missouri G 4:17 uido head. I've found some in old small back country bait shops but practically impossible to find. Love the slim profile, hook design and small sharp barb. What do you think about them?

Great segment !

Never tried stroking a tube I’ve bought everything to do it but have yet to try. I guess a lack of confidence has something to do with it

Randy, what’s you favorite tube company? My custom tube company had to close because of illness in his family.

JUICE!!!

such a great looking lure i love the translucence

Can’t wait to see your boat👍🏻

I fish an aluminum boat. G3 1710 Sportsman. 90hp, 43mph loaded. Tow it with a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Love the boat.

Thanks man!🎉

Looks like a great bait! Reminder Randy, it's gama-Katsu, not "gumuhgahtzu"

Good for you Randy, all I have to say my experience I have caught bigger fish in aluminum. I’m fishing in bass pros anniversary boat. I change the trolling motor to 24 volt. I use the out board off and on the trailer. Very little use moving around. Last year was 12 gallons of fuel. I don’t fish tournaments anymore but I fish Clearlake and the ca delta. It works for me. Good luck!

Awesome

Ordered one years back when I was first getting into fishing. The pop max was the first lure that started getting me huge smallmouth bass. Definitely need one in my arsenal again!

I've had both and once you get out of a fiberglass and go aluminum you'll be wishing you were back in your fiberglass bass boat.. hands down fiberglass wins all the way around

Randy do you have some sort of lichting up or around your boat or do you go total dark and only when reeling in a catch turning on some deck lights ??

nitro Z18 pro w/ mercury pro sx 150. All the features of the $100k boats at half the price, 40 g livewell,, 40g fuel tank, all the storage you'd 3ver need - I have 20 rods in the boat with room for more. Aluminum just doesn't compare

What hook and size would you recommend 4/0-5/0 ?

I figured he'd only have flashers on his boat. Real fishermen don't need fancy electronics to find fish!

I mean…..this isn’t rocket science. It’s fairly obvious why bass eat black and blue lures.

I find I get a lot of short strikes from smaller fish. However when I get a solid hit it’s usually a toad.

I have that exact crank bait and it is awesome for smallmouth on the snake river out west. I use my megabass destroyer, javelin rod. What a sweet set up.

Randy, when do you use this worm over a zoom ultravibe?

Bottom line, nobody will give Randy a fiberglass rig.

Randy, I agree with your advantages. But here's some what I consider important disadvantages. Most don't have dry storage. If it rains, everything will get wet. A lot less lockable storage. You can't mount a through hull transducer. It can be really hard to get a good depth reading at speed with an externally mounted transducer. I don't care what you do.

Tried aluminum in 2021 for all of the reasons you mentioned. 19"10" 150 ProXS. Loved the boat, great fuel economy, much cheaper, awesome in shallow water or deep with spot lock, the boat fished better than any of my glass boats, until it busted on Sam Rayburn. Back to glass but I did love my aluminum.

I got the baby bass in popmax. I do an older rapala popper in brown bullfrog where I got olive saddle hackle drk. greem marabou on the back treble for legs.

The proper way to hold any fishing reel is how you feel comfortable not what other people tell you.

Why talk about it specifically if the color isn’t on tackle warehouse?

My lake in E Tx does not have rip rap. Should I ignore using this bait ? Also, it would be helpful if your show would mention color names that are equal to those at TW. Thank you.

I used fish scent as lube one time. Had morning wood real bad out on the pond. My nuts smelled like fish scent for weeks

That lure in almost that color is my go to bait for my favorite small private lake, 12 months a year. I've caught largemouth, crappie and large bluegills.

Rod recommendations: Baby plugging Cyclone Both are from Destroyer P5 lineup 😁😁

That color doesn't seem to exist. At least not from Tackle Warehouse.

Sir Randall wishing you the best with your new ride, Great News

Your audio is not good. You need to either move your face closer or the mike or the mike closer to your face

We were fishing yellow Sonics for bass in San Diego in the late 50's, caught lots of them.

Thanks for the video, Randy. What model, length, motor hp are you looking for?

Teacher??????? What is he teaching people to be male whining Karen's? What a Sham

Can you use aluminum boats in the big tournaments?

Ranger makes some good aluminum rigs. The one problem I have found is the “One Piece Livewell lid”. When the livewell is opened, both the pro’s and co-anglers livewells are exposed. A feisty spotted bass can leap from one side to another. A bass can completely leap out of the boat. A pro is busy up front fishing, and a co angler can accidentally swap bass, or cause a pro to loose his fish. A simple couple hundred dollar modification with “Two Separate lids” at the Ranger factory can fix this issue.

Loving the hat!!! 🤠 Cool shades!!!😎 and loving the Mobile office!!! 🤓

Welcome to regular guy life. No boat sponsor have to pay for your rig. Ive deployed 4 times to get what i wanted and paid cash for my truck and boat. Its a tough life bein a regular joe blow fisherman but you will make it.

I can count how many aluminum rigs you have ran maybe one. I have seen glass boats with holes through a charger boat and Gambler and they finished the tournament that day, not happening in aluminum. Aluminum being lighter is a misconception they have to thicker Guage to make it as strong foot for foot. My Z19 weighed as much as a 20' express.
