Thank you both for being here. You guys at Salt Strong have made this intermediate fisherman look all pro. My life is devoted to fishing and helping others.

[@ryanvlasic1849]

Awesome video guys. I think most people who saltwater fish started out bass fishing, where the bass fishing industry basically brainwashed people into thinking you need to buy all these expensive lures. I use soft plastics 90% of the time. The other 10% I'm throwing a mirrodine or goofy jig if I'm pompano fishing.

Thanks for making time to post the nice comment Ryan!

That's the best 'breakdown' I've seen yet, of 'why'. 🐟 🏝 👍

[@OutsideCatPishing]

Great information. I was in a situation where I saw life and no baitfish. I was using a paddle tail (my confidence lure) after listening to this I should have used a shrimp imitation which I had but didn’t change. I will from now on.

Gents: This was a great broadcast! I am keeping your link to pass this post for the "FNGs" I come across. Here in the NYC Bight, your advice still applies for Surf Striped Bass. Gentlemen, Please Be Well, and Stay Strong, Will

I wish I saw this as a newbie to inshore lure fishing. Thanks, this will encourage many like me before.

[@Saltstrong]

Glad to see that you enjoyed this video!

I like how y’all mentioned the chartreuse tails I use em here in the gulf cause our waters dirty it really helps em see I think

[@damientorres8988]

But I’ve also caught without the chartreuse tail just more so with so I use it more

[@miopera40]

I used to fish a lot of small crappie jigs long ago, caught my biggest tarpon in one, and honestly that type of small lure catches the widest variety of fish in FL. But when you get older and lazy a top water and a weighted smaller top water so that it slows sink always catch the bigger fish around and cudas won't mess them up. Top water lures prices are crazy now but years ago I bought like two bags for a couple of dollars each and as long as you check your wire is good you will not lose them.

I just started using luhr jensens for calico and sand bass but was hooking up barracuda and yellowtail.

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for sharing your findings.

[@AmbitiousAnglerFishing]

Thanks for the tips boys! Another awesome educational video!

[@BF4pawntard]

Back when I started fishing a long time ago I made lures from table spoons and use to catch loads of fish and quickly realised that if a fish is hungry on the hunt they will eat just about anything

[@michaeldavid6284]

Can you provide a link or video showing how lure #3 with the weighted hook is rigged? I think that's a hook with the spiral holder on the eye.

[@Saltstrong]

Here's a link to the lesson in the Fishing School that shows exactly how to rig these lures for covering various depth zones: www.saltstrong.com/fishing-school/intermediate-module/lures-hooks/

[@michaeldavid6284]

@@Saltstrong Many thanks.

[@keithandrews4073]

While I have a ton of saltwater specific lures, I catch a majority of my gator trout and redfish on a 4" super fluke or a swimming fluke

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for sharing your findings.

[@joemartin6439]

Are these lure the tuff plastic to get a hock into it?

[@kennylove188]

K. I. S. S. !!! Like Luke, I was a Tackle Junkie. Most important, find the bait fish/shrimp; then, cast and retrieve the appropriate lure, and with a little luck you'll catch the fish. Tight Lines ! 🐟🐠🦈🐋🐡🦐

[@Saltstrong]

Yes, the KISS approach is a smart play for getting great results without spending much money at all.

[@joeyjoe8892]

Great video!!

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks!

[@shumardi1]

Do you have a problem fishing the jig head in the grass? It seems like you would be constantly be fouling.

[@georgesly]

My only complaint is that these videos are geared to fishing in Florida and the Gulf and southern states. I have yet to see a discussion of tactics and strategies for saltwater fishing in the Northeast.

[@SMC4117]

If I had to choose one lure for saltwater it would have to be the Lucky Craft Pointer Flash Minnow 110! I couldn’t count how many fish I’ve caught on em from So Cal to Baja Sur Mexico and all points in between. Every inshore game fish species can’t resist em🎣

[@operatorspectre7428]

That lure is really good in socal but so many people run them nowadays. I used to kill Corvina on em all the time back when i lived it socal.

[@SMC4117]

@ still working here! Absolutely deadly in Mexico for just about every inshore game fish!

[@jeanlong4285]

Thanks for the great info.

[@Saltstrong]

Glad to see that you enjoyed this video!

[@razorbackhogsfan9497]

What are your thoughts on the Gulp pearl white mullet?

[@Saltstrong]

That lure can certainly catch some fish. But please don't feel like you need to buy expensive soft plastics because it's the fisherman that is most responsible for fish catching results... not the lure.

[@finprints]

Great Intell. Become a simplicity specialist as one coach use to say. Lol

[@Saltstrong]

Haha!

[@georgek.8134]

Are your two plastic baits made with a “scent” built into them, like Gulp baits ?

[@Saltstrong]

Our baits do have scent infused in them. Gulp lures are the most advanced in terms of scent that we've tested, but they don't hold up well to saltwater species so it can make for some expensive fish catching while ours are tougher and are designed for better action in the water for generating strikes.

[@charlesmurray1220]

How about the Northeast?

[@tripolarmisfit]

Don't know why you didn't mention a regular spoon among the best lures. The Kastmaster from Acme or the Cast Champ from Luhr-Jensen are in my opinion the best lures for saltwater fishing. And they're super cheap too.

[@Saltstrong]

You're correct... spoons are surprisingly effective and are often at very affordable prices.

[@mattplasse1984]

3 best; paddle tail, jerk bait, pencil popper. 3 worst anything over $15, anything hand made collectible, anything you lack confidence in

[@comfortablynumb9342]

All beginners should have a popping cork to use with the prawns and paddle tails, especially for the flats. They just catch fish.

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for sharing the helpful feedback!

[@operatorspectre7428]

Popping cork is straight up deadly on the flats

[@oghyeahoo6165]

If I could only use one lure, gimme a bucktail...toothy fish tend to chomp the paddle on first strike.

[@Saltstrong]

Bucktails sure are great at catching a variety of species!

[@whome8845]

I've been fishing for 40 years, seldomly do I get skunked, bad days I just catch small fish, I only use white bucktails that's it

[@Saltstrong]

Well done!
