6th Sense Panorama: Dealing with the Downsides!

[@bradleyrussell1973]

Hey Mark!!! Personally, I find it AWESOME for bedding fish when rigged Tokyo style! I make my own Tokyo rigs, with an extended weight wire about 5" long. This allows the bait to sit a little higher, helping bring those cruising females just out from the beds in. Helps reduce a few minutes from the time we take when sight fishing.

[@markfisheroutdoors]

I can definitely see that working during the spawn! Thanks for the tip!

[@thomaslester8702]

For those of you who want to get the most use out of the bait. Get yourself a bottle of mend-it glue and use it on the bait to repair it when it gets torn. It works great, and a bottle will last you a long time. Just remember to keep the lid on tight and out of direct sunlight when not using it. Look ot up online. I believe it comes from Westcoast bass central. I know it is from California, and it works on all soft plastic baits except for z-mans. Works great and dries fairly fast in cool weather and even faster in warmer weather.

Thanks for the info

[@Justicecustomlures]

I'm going to buy some for walleye and trout. They do have small sizes.

[@markfisheroutdoors]

To my knowledge the 5” is the smallest size

[@Justicecustomlures]

@markfisheroutdoors yes the live minnow,live shad, live perch,live goby, have 2, 2.8, 3.5 in sizes for the live color patterns. In my experience I think the 2.8 is going to be the money size . I'm going to buy all three sizes on all 5 different patterns. I will let you know how they'll do if you want. The crush city freeloader was fire last year for walleye, If you didn't try it, give it a try.

[@farmerjohn2262]

I've been using the Live Gizzard pattern of the Panorama for a couple months now, and it's an absolute killer for snook! I fish it rigged with the open hook like you've shown, but without any weight. I just twitch it up to the surface as I reel, and they just explode on it. But as you pointed out, it's an extremely soft bait and tears easily. But when fishing in salwater here in Florida, ANY plastic bait will get shredded by some of the more toothsome fish that are also attracted to it. Just goes with the territory. Tight lines, brother! 😊

Thanks for sharing your experiences. We appreciate you tuning into the channel.

Great review! Thank you

[@markfisheroutdoors]

Thanks buddy!

[@jpvernoutside3378]

I generally nose hook mine (just in front of the eyes side to side) using an appropriate size hook for the different size baits or target fish. The bait usually just slides up the line. As it gets worn out I just clip a little off. I’ve caught fish in one cut back past the eyes. I will add weight as needed. Sometimes just a split shot above it and sometimes drop shot style. I’ve caught multiple fish (spotted & striped bass) on one lure. I recently bought some of these CoreTackle weighted hooks for river fishing. Can’t wait to try it.

[@markfisheroutdoors]

All of the Core Tackle products are “fish catcher’s”! Thanks for your comments.

[@Glock-1]

Good video Mark ! I bet that thing on an Ozark rig would be freaking awesome!

[@markfisheroutdoors]

I think you’re right!

[@bradr.7249]

That's a great idea Mark! I bought some of those when they came out and tore a whole bag of them up trying to learn how to rig them. I did take some Mend It to the head of the bait and they were like new. I'll have to get them back out and try the TUSH hook on it. Thanks for the underwater footage.

[@markfisheroutdoors]

Happy to help! Thanks as always for tuning in!

[@TWC6724]

I’ve been using an owner CPS centering spring on the nose to add durability. Been working good to nose hook them.

[@markfisheroutdoors]

Thanks for the tip!

[@joelrussell8033]

If you use these on a keel weighted swimbait hook, they will twist your line like crazy! Use a swivel if possible.

[@julianbutler2173]

Very imformative, thank you sir.

[@markfisheroutdoors]

Thanks brother!

[@alexdolly6077]

Are you throwing that lure on spinning or casting tackle?? the way you have it rig there; it looks like it would catch the wind a lot

[@dominicsilvio6374]

What hook do you use for the 9" model for us big swimbait guys?

[@stupidthoughts2921]

Looks like a 5/0 hook with 1/8 would look better and give it a slower fall, when I watched your video lure dropped fast and crashed right into the eyelet and smashing knot/line seem it may cause to many break offs. If u use that 7/0 maybe rig it 1/4" back so nose of bait hits bottom before eyelet does, just an opinion and what I saw on video, but still a good video, thanks

[@rodneychandler82]

First thing you want to do with the Panarama is remove from packaging and leave outdoors for a week to get rid of the insane odour

[@topsecretmx5142]

I completely agree with this it’s so bad I could think it could poison the water you throw it in.

[@NathanPreece-c2b]

Soaked them in warm soapy water and wash the clam package . Smell goes away

[@alexbarwin4133]

I’d say 2-3 fish on a bait is about average and honestly I’d be satisfied with any soft plastic that’ll do that

[@rockyporterjr4215]

Use a circle hook with no drop shot weight and just twitch it. Works great.

[@markfisheroutdoors]

With all that plastic do you issues with hook sets and lost fish?

[@italioraucci]

CENTER THE HOOK ALONG THE LATERAL LINE OF THE BAIT WITH THE EYE OF THE HOOK IN LINE WITH THE SPOT BEHIND THE GILL.

[@markfisheroutdoors]

Great tip! Thanks bud.

[@Skunko5000]

I got these before they were released in the sack subscription. Bait was ruined just trying to figure out how to rig it. Never bought them after seeing the Durability issues others were having

[@markfisheroutdoors]

Try my suggestion to increase durability!

[@leepao6302]

every lure has its ups and downs; to you maybe awesome and to someone is trash; it's up to you as an angler to understand and utilize to your needs and style of fish

[@markfisheroutdoors]

Well said

[@brianpeterson8026]

Why did you not talk about how bad it smells like paint thinner.

[@markfisheroutdoors]

Ha! You got me on that one. I didn’t even notice it, but after reading your comment I went down to the tackle room and checked…. You’re right!

[@ZZ430T56]

All of Sixth plastics are WAY too soft and no durability. Even the tiny minnows are one fish baits. That's how they get all that action, which really is not necessary. The Tush hook with a drop of crazy glue is probably your best bet. But I could not throw an open hook on the bottom.

[@timmontano8792]

I think I'll hold off on buying anything like this until they start making them out of that Elaztech material, so they last longer. Even better will be when the Chinese start copycatting these baits and making them for three or four bucks per dozen of them with free shipping. Then it won't matter as much how long they last.

[@markfisheroutdoors]

Looks good but to much hardware showing!!👎🏾

[@mmatalk3817]

Cheap bait! It's not an expensive bait at all. My Hinkle trout is a 750.00 bait. The action is amazing the quality is cheap China crap. Does the fish catch fish? Yes. So is the 9.99 cost at Tackle Warehouse worth it? Yes. Your only option is buying 6 packs at a time.
