CHEAP VS EXPENSIVE Tiny Crankbaits! (Surprising Results)

In this episode of the tiny lure challenge I compare a cheap tiny crank bait to an expensive tiny crank bait. The results were surprising!
Don't send me stuff!... but if you want to I'd really appreciate it!

[@theCalsfv]

just remember lures are designed to catch the fisherman first. lol

[@618Fishing]

haha so true

[@jasonluera5058]

its funny cause its true af.

[@kristophermathis8584]

You stole my comment!!

[@timb8970]

guilty as charged!!

[@countryboy2145]

yes sir very true

[@fishingmn4517]

i feel the best point that comes from this video is it doesn't matter if your fishing with $2 lures or $10, both will produce as long as they imitate the action of the food the fish feed on. Great video and keep up the good work!

[@mr.cityknightbmx8088]

The cheap one looks expensive but the expensive one looks cheap

[@ledoleto9778]

Mr.CityKnight BMX Agree

[@APRAPR-nq2wn]

I thought the same thing

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Mr.CityKnight BMX thought so too !

[@aldos9553]

that's what i thought

[@owen6979]

I KNOW!!

[@multispeciesfishing]

i honestly believe that 618 fishing is the best fresh water fishing channel on KZbin, for many reasons.

[@ExoticsLair]

Cya later, buddy :D Never gets old.

[@cloroxbleach8676]

Exotics Lair yes, yes it does

[@-ExperienceWithMe-]

Exotics Lair it's kinda annoying to be honest. Every single release he says it in every single video

[@lojofishing]

cheap almost always beats expensive if the fisherman has the knowledge

[@youtubeali8710]

are you subscribe cuzz i Watch your vids

[@legend-gaming582]

I watch your videos

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Amazing edits , I love this channel. If you had thrown the expensive lure first , you probably would have caught more :D

[@joshivy7792]

Rodney's Fishing Adventure +1 Rodney Btw love your channel as well

[@djTorchLive]

The cheap one really had the advantage since you used it first. Some fish are FCFS (First come First Serve). I'd say have another session using the Snap Beans first and then the BPS lure second and see what happens. But, then again there are so many variables that can even change that result. This was a fun watch tho, that's for sure.

[@cathymazzittello1671]

Fish flop Friday. Lol. Great video... all ways fun to watch thx

[@oveson88]

I know this is old but. Listening to how loose that drag was set was driving me insane lol. Awesome video though i have tons of those little micro crankbaits.

[@JohnJames.]

I know this comment is old, but that's kind of what I'm trying to dial in. Do I want it to peel while reeling, or only when they really put into it?. I seem to horse them in with 4lb fluorocarbon

[@corkyvanderhaven3391]

Line twists they say is problem. On light line that is a problem as well as most the time… Fighting it myself on a bunch of poles I abuse. . Find out if it is. The better ya get the more ya learn, after awhile it won’t matter what others say, you’ll have a style and what ya like. Dude makes a good living pan fishing…is all I can say…about that. No question is bad fishing. No one knows everything. The globe is huuuuuge

[@Kaelland]

​@@JohnJames. I tend to run most of my drags fairly tight. It allows me to pull through weeds better. And I don't really feel the need to have the thing set so light that a bluegill or green sunfish can pull drag. Also, I've got a couple of spinning reels where if the drag is loose enough to let panfish pull drag, the drag will also slip when you cast. Not desirable. But you do want it loose enough that a bigger fish will be able to peel drag. Example: I was fishing a small community pond with an ultralight rod and reel set up with 4-pound mono. I've seen a couple of big carp in the pond, but almost everything I've caught out of there have been little green sunfish that were barely big enough to use as bait. I was fishing there one day, late afternoon/early evening, and a channel catfish unexpectedly grabbed the roadrunner I had been using. I didn't know that's what I had hooked at first. I just knew that it was big enough to pull drag, even though I keep it fairly tight. And he was pulling drag faster than I could reel. I let him have some drag and just fought him until I got him in. Had I tightened down the drag and tried to hoss him in, I guarantee he would have broken off and taken my lure with him. I got that lure stuck in the pond liner about an hour later. Switched poles instead of tying on a new lure because it was faster. Caught a few tiny greenies on a beetle spin. Last cast of the night, expecting to get nothing, hooked another channel cat. This pole was a light-action pole with 4-pound mono. Same deal. Let him peel drag until he got tired enough that I could hoss him in. Neither channel cat was more than a pound and a half. But either one would have broken me off if I had tightened down the drag.

[@PhilosophyDaily]

Sweet video! I like the cuts between cameras! Definitely something I will have to add to my channel!

[@bridgettebarnes9067]

My goodness I really want to go Crappie fishing there! And Nice fishing as usual.

[@tedgaddy7398]

I sure enjoyed these type of videos over the spillway videos

[@logangmiterek]

Just went and got myself the same pair of sunglasses you got just a different tint! Thanks for having what you use in he description!!

[@jeremynewhouse6530]

Should have alternated every fish to make it fair. Since they are so similar some of those first fish would have ate the second lure too had it been the first one they seen.

[@WILKINSOUTDOORADVENTURES]

Jeremy Newhouse I agree👍

[@castingcostas2996]

Two rod/reel set ups with same reel & line but different lures and keep track of times between catches with a chess timer. The lure that hits 1 hour elapsed first loses.👍⏲️

[@dillonfishing]

Love the videos, but there is no way u still use the gopro3, which GoPro do you use,

[@glennluteraan4434]

I think lures have just gotten way too expensive for most of the name brands. It's nice to see the cheaper lures doing anywhere from close to "as good" or even "better". Thank you for doing these comparisons and not just pushing the more expensive lures as so many people do.

[@robparkersfishingworld]

Awesome channel and video man. Keep up the good work. Made me wanna start my own channel

[@hunter-cp1bt]

Dude your content is so nice to watch idek why the flow and everything is super nice to watch

[@LargeKnives]

Legit crappie hype. Love your videos always dude, everything about them is great, even the music. Can't wait to see the Heddon Torpedo video!

[@Ch0laf]

Juwt stumbled on this video, dude your cinematics are insane, e.g. that effect at 0.07 is sick

[@andrewsims4797]

The hour difference in the time of day could have had an effect. I think it would have been more scientific had you put both baits on separate (but similar) rods and switched rods every cast. This would have put the baits through more similar conditions. Still an interesting concept though. Keep up the great work.

[@TheGorillafoot]

Good video, honestly never considered using a mirco crankbait. May have try some out.

[@suhwateezea.214]

Nice ultralight session. Had fun watching!

[@lazarogarcia2122]

Heck yeah! Love the tiny lure challenges.

[@IAmSplate]

That alarm gave me a panic attack when it went off 😂

[@e4t662]

Every time I catch a fish now, I say “see ya later buddy”.. love you man.

[@JBorg1]

E4T6 I had to quit the video cause I couldnt stand it anymore haha

[@bentomany9098]

same

[@TheOutdoorsman]

Love the micro fishing content! You have inspired me to do more of it. Great video!

[@rbehrens]

I always enjoy your cinematography at the beginning of your videos. Keep it up.

[@CowboyCarCrushing]

Another great video. I've been a poor boy my whole life. So my total fishing experience has always been cheap lures. I catch em up pretty dang good. See ya later buddy

[@Adam.whitney]

Love them I can’t wait to go fly fishing this weekend in ny

[@TheMasterCaster]

Sick video dude! Some of the best vids out on here!

[@JoseLopez-ip8hn]

How do you determine the tension on the drag? Yours seems to be really loose why is that? Keep up the great videos bud! I'm here honestly learning a lot. Thanks!

[@timb8970]

love your videos! when we were kids we sometimes used bottle caps as lures. the fish didn't mind.

[@matthewours2411]

Lobe it vids man ur the best editor I've seen so far I'm really new to KZbin I've got a few uploads ...but yea man ur probably one of my favorite youtubers and plz bring Maddie in more vids

[@matthewhanlan2301]

matthew ours I'm new here to man I haven't even uploaded any videos yet how do upload video's

[@twistednrg6293]

On the first cast.... can't beat that. I find the cheaper lures work just as well but won't last as long over time. Awesome stuff nick, til next time 🤙

[@PapaSmurfx93]

TWISTED NRG also check the hooks, usually not as sticky.

[@caydenthompson1878]

Nick you're my favorite KZbin and also the reason I fish for bass

[@thinxo]

Starts on Coffee Cup, My mouth starts watering. Time to start a pot.

[@wilmartin4686]

I wish you would have put the cheap one back on after the expensive one. Just to see if the bite turned off or they really preferred the cheap one. Great vid thanks for sharing

[@Troutfishingmaniac921]

what line are you using on your ultralight reel? Braided or mono??

[@Jonnydeerhunter]

Bought a micro rod for my ice fishing reel for open water thanks to you.... Appreciate it :) I think the type of lure has more to do with the day (lighting, weather, water conditions) then it does the price. Also sometime fish are more triggered by one profile than another. Gotta fish the fish and not the things we like to do.

[@Hookset717]

You should almost repeat the dual in a few days and use them in reverse order. See if the results vary.

[@Hookset717]

Crap, everyone already said that lol

[@tylerlindsey406]

hey I love the way that cheap crank looks like can you tell me were you got I mean which bass pro shop the one in Memphis or Rogers there's a lot of em you know

[@camdenkozeal5468]

Love all the micro content!!

[@al.trzy_blu.e]

First and foremost, YOUR CHANNEL IS TIGHT! second and less important is my hypothesis that the daylight was a huge factor in the results... and my bet is that if you would have tossed the Yozuri first it would have landed more fish... im also debating the clear vs solid color lip as well lol

[@brenton1523]

I love the micro series!!!🔥🤘💪🎣👍

[@nogoodcops6557]

Now there's a man that likes a loose drag.

[@richdorak1547]

It's killin me!!!!!! Lots of line twists that way.

[@edwardpease541]

I think he has 2lb line on that reel

[@FishHuntFreedom]

Awesome vid as always. I would have a crappie feast if I lived near that pond

[@odb233]

How do you get so much distance on your cast with such a small amount of weight, what is your rod and reel setup?

[@allanlarmour7460]

Great videos, keep it up. Tight lines.

[@t_mac6866]

What rod and reel set up are you using for these tiny crankbaits?

[@raa6504]

I'm not your buddy, pal! 😁😂

[@mcmccrane]

P.S. - can you send the link to the BassPro lure? Only saw the other one below...

[@TheFishCatcher]

Always like these micro lure videos 👍🏼 whether it's cheap or not I would prefer the lures that are fish catchers

[@landonwest4701]

Great video, one thing to consider is that you were fishing with the gold one at the end of the day and the low light conditions could have not been favorable for that gold color

[@skiball83]

Lol i only use cheap baits. Great content as always. See ya later buddy!

[@l-trainzero1451]

What typ of rod and reel are you using and where did you get it

[@josegarza7333]

Dude what pound test did you use for the line

[@scottie706]

One of my all-time favorite lures is the mini rattle trap I have caught multiple 2-3pounders in it

[@pappasqually9140]

The beginning of this video is like when the 🍄 kicks in and you realize you’ve fucked up 😂

[@tylerbaker8086]

Is our boy growing a beard? Love it man

[@oldmanoutdoors4700]

First a thank you , I had a great day fishing using the tiny chatter bait, to me though you would have to fish each lure on alternating cast, that way each lure is used in the same place at the same time. I do agree that some cheap lures are just as good ,if not better than more expensive lures.

[@ExplorishingAdventures]

This would be another good approach.

[@stevetucker7230]

I currently use Rapalas jerkbaits but have been thinking about trying the megabass vision 110. They are so expensive to lose to toothy fish. I still would like to try them tho.

[@JackB_05]

Best videos ever!

[@Daneissocool]

love the editing dude !

[@TheNashvilleJason]

Both of those baits are on sale at bass Pro in the regular circular right now!

[@IAmSplate]

Love the intros on this channel

[@fatmangaming2720]

I catch a hell of a lot of fish on cheap jigs that Walmart sells in packs and also on a little spinner they sell. The spinner is a little green fish attached to a spinner rig it cost .96 cents. And the bass and crappies and green sunfish love that lure. Cost isn't as important as presentation of the lure and knowing where the fish are at. Nice video btw it shows people you don't need to spend a lot to catch.

[@ledoleto9778]

You are my favorite KZbin. Can you go trout fishing sometime. Amazing video!!!!!!

[@bortnikn1]

sweet vid as always! but surely for it to be a fair contest, the crankbaits need to be the same colour? the fish may have simply preferred the lighter coloured one, even though it had worse action! anyways, keep it up bro

[@nevgonfishin3286]

Always looking forward to your vids man!

[@adnanke3001]

Really liked the intro💯

[@SharpiesERA]

What rod are you using if you dont mind me asking? Lovely vid as always btw

[@mizanahmad1170]

Looking forward to see you fishing ultralight in saltwater or micro jigging. I also fish ultralight. The real challenge of ultralight is fighting a big fish with a light set up. Thats why i love ultralight fishing so much.

[@WickedDealer]

You should do this challenge again, but with that $6 one vs. the creme $1.60 tiny crank that looks almost the same.

[@exilebear42]

What line do you use on your ultra light?

[@danrozanski6130]

I find that if it shines, wiggles, rattles, or spins, it'll work no matter the brand. Hell my dad and I were catching so many rock bass one day that we started using bologna from our sandwhiches and it worked

[@tetelestaicreations5740]

what is the cheap Lure called and where did you get it?

[@timothyroche6445]

I use em for walleye, drill just ahead of hook and add bb to create suspending bait, I use a micro spinning reel and an ugly stick spinning 4'6" UL use power pro 8 lb. CAUGHT 7 lb walleye ,no problem, best setup ever

[@kcosten]

I have all of the bps micro lures including this one. They work very well. The minnow and cricket rock.

[@petevermouth5567]

We did the same challenge Yo-zuri vs snap bean vs the cheap one that looks identical. Cheapy beat yo-zuri 2 to 1 just like you. We BOTH caught a nice bass on cheapy, no bass on the yo-zuri.

[@joshuabelmontes4778]

Micro fishing is lots of fun 👍

[@jasonluera5058]

crappie love baby bass. that first lure was perfect. should have gone cast for cast with them though, wouldve gotten better results with the yozuri.

[@daiholim]

Difference came from the time, maybe? Bluegills and crappies also have feeding time. I believe. Good video, bro.

[@jurassicjustin4960]

You should do a best out 3 days. Start with the cheap one the first day, the expensive one the second, and then lead with the current leader in number of fish for third. I feel this might give a more fair result, but enjoyed the video.

[@dawgletsgame7198]

Lucky your fishing open water. I'm still ice fishing dude. There is still about a foot of ice under 5 to 6 inches of slush.

[@luisplingo8610]

Nice vid!👍🏻🤗

[@patrickhartman6818]

I'm going through as I told you before watching on your videos my favorite setup we talked about before the president real which I love also might Shakespeare microspin fishing pole a 4 and 1/2 foot one piece I use 6 lb test and I love it

[@firehawk3125]

Always great footage and content! Makes me want to get into ultralight fishing

[@JohnJames.]

Took my go to spinning rod getting stolen to get me one .. or 3..

[@rosalvaaramburo9605]

Best fisher men in the world so hashtag 618 fishing

[@lakingz80]

Always have great vids.. Thanks for all the hard work making them and being informative in what you do.. Great job bro

[@swimking101]

Great video. This was from before I started watching you. I've honestly been most successful with the cheapest lures, especially the creme brand.

[@dragonflyjoyride]

I liked this challenge! Very interesting, makes me want to try more cheaper lures.

[@whereandbackagain7059]

Human- "This lure has ultra realistic colors and micro textures and patented 3-direction movement. It's the most realistic lure money can buy!" Fish- "Oh hey something shiny that looks like it'll fit in my mouth. Let's eat it!"

[@815fishing8]

Love your content man, keep up the awesome videos.

[@Vissenbijdewaterkant]

Great video! both lure are good, they catch fish!

[@jupchurch23]

You should do some more creek/small river videos!!

[@Hankxiong]

Do more of these micro cranks! Love’m!

[@paulfitzpatrick8470]

Please do this again at the same time of day starting with the expensive lures.one hour can make all the difference.

[@itsmiha]

You probably won't see this but what lures do you recomend for trout fishing?
