Are These The Best Winter Time Baits To Catch Bass? Blade Bait Breakdown

[@gstixfishing9746]

It's amazing how they all look the same but definitely have different actions and uses!! Love the blade and thanks for this video!!!

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Thank you for watching man!

[@ginichi2237]

Love blade baits.. and your videos. They are a very good lure .. easy to cast, great distance. Very effective

[@mcdrmtt]

LOVE THESE BAITS. Julius told me about just lightly flipping the bait on the bottom from side to side = GAME CHANGER!!! Thanks again for a great day on the water.

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

You need to come back and fish again!!

[@ryandoll3684]

I can’t believe nobody has talked about using a spinning rod for 1/4 oz blades 🔥 Braid to a long leader on my 6ft 8in med light fast Legend is my favorite for a light blade bait! It definitely helps keep the fish pinned a lot better ...My buddy uses a stiffer rod and looses a lot of fish that way ! Anyway great video guys🔥🎣 I’ll have to pick a new blade up now hahah

[@Straight_Kash]

Yes! Found another use for my Expride jerk bait rod! 6’10” medium should work great for blades!

[@legionssb]

Lol I’m pretty sure that’s the exact rod Matt from TacticalBassin uses

[@nickc8629]

Great video. Love blade baits. I agree on the shorter rod theory as well.

[@jesussilvas6646]

2 weeks ago you helped me pick a dyna response blade at your store. Thanks for coming out with this video!!

[@seanodell5133]

More quality info being thrown around. Just a thought on rod length. I am a short dude and tried all kinds longer rods but found all my most used/ loved rods where under 7 foot and the top one being 6'8". After looking thru all the Megabass rod lines they seem to favor shorter rods too

[@Roboworm99]

Yup Japanese anglers are bringing them back into popularity

[@dennishodson990]

Longer rod keeps line out of trolling motor when you get tuned in on livescope and get distracted. That trolling motor bite will be the biggest one you'll have all day and possibly break you're rod tip on that Loomis!!

[@scottcameron3559]

Well done very informative

[@kevinclement9147]

Great info. Just started really leaning on this presentation this fall and absolutely crushed some big smallmouth in deep water. Had my best results with the Megabass Dyna Response but didn’t have a giant bust the stock snap. Surprised how rarely the treble hooks snagged bottom. Keep the videos coming.

[@Roboworm99]

Excellent point about rod length. I feel I’ve always done better and more in control with shorter rods especially with Texas Rigged or Jigs. Starting back in the day using 5’6” pistol grip rods may also influence my technique and preferences.

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Totally! 👊

[@bhendy2962]

Sweet puffer jackets to really set the mood.. awesome vid brahs..

[@JamesSproles-t9h]

Good information and thanks

[@drummertroyg]

Does anybody know the name of those duel hooks on those blade baits? Size,who makes them?

[@anthonyhill3771]

Sounds cool but damiki vault is my favorite when it’s cold or hot they produce bass all year round!

[@Andycarusetta]

Another awesome breakdown. Thanks. I heard Ben mention livestream? How do I view those?

[@chuckkaleel9105]

You need to check out the Jack Slap from Catch Outdoors. It’s almost like a combination of a blade bait and a Little George shape wise. It will catch anything that swims!!!

[@legionssb]

I HAVE to get some of these, another one is the jackall keeburn... I think the have another blade bait as well. Anyway, I’ve been using lipless cranks to do this for a while because I don’t have any... the jackall TN and lucky craft LV500 and the megabass vibration lipless are all pretty good at this technique... tried out the Walmart brand lipless as a $2 option and turns out because it’s so cheap it’s different and the fish eat it... caught a massive white bass 4 1/2 Ibs, N.C. State record is 5 something... it just works for some reason... tho the jdm stuff is cooler... the raid Japan level vibe is another Japanese option that u guys should try if u haven’t already!

[@greyhunter9287]

Great video guys and very helpful. Couple of questions. 1) How seasonal would you consider this technique? I know Hippie said that he likes it as a cold water technique. Is there a preferred range of water temperature you like to throw the blade bait in? 2) What kind of strikes can we typically expect on this bait with the short hops? Is sensitivity a big factor? The short rods seem to make sense as I would think reaction strikes would be quick but that the fish would be tempted to spit the bait quick since it is metal? Or am I wrong? Finally, do you have any colors you find that are stand outs for the Phoenix area lakes? others on the Phoenix area lakes? Thanks again for the great info guys and also for explaining why you utilize the options you prefer.

[@DavidMccallister65]

I feel like keeping the snap in the middle causes or allows the rear hook to foul up on my line more

[@emmpak]

The Hook Up Tackle shop is Better than tacklewarehouse. Blade baits explained well!

[@Austin_Torres]

Just orders some Tail spins. Can’t wait to try them out

[@bassinbilliards6279]

That's funny. To me the megabass is much tighter & more subtle than others & up here in Cali I've had great success with the slow hop vs the retrieve.

[@WitkowskisFishingSickness]

Come check out my fishing channel. I will make real legit go pro content someday soon

[@H8er-Maker]

How do you make contact with bottom without losing it? I don't mind losing lures( it happens) but blade baits are practically disposable fishing over a rip rap bottom. Maybe I need to fish it more vertical rather than pulling it at an angle? Idk. Losing $10 every 5 +/- casts has a negative affect on my confidence.

[@bayardlohmiller9785]

Plug knockers are a must when fishing expensive blades, I just use 2 or 3 oz salt water sinkers and put a snap on it, get directly over it, snap it on the line that's stuck (I have the sinker tied on a little ice fishing jig rod with braid) and drop it down. If you keep a bend in the rod that's stuck you'll feel the weight hit it and you're usually free, if not you can jig the weight up and down to try to knock it free, I probably get more than 80% back

[@ZethKinnettFishing]

All about that Binsky.

[@michaelmolnar5484]

No shitbull , realay real good video. Greetings from Bangkok. Michael

[@fshn4lmt493]

Lucky craft cymbal still available?

[@timhunt1398]

Well looks like I'll be coming in to get that little max.

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

You should definitely grab that dude! Or OSP has a light one coming next month too!

[@timhunt1398]

Sweet can't wait!

[@davemccann3730]

Why not use a good split ring?

[@davemccann3730]

How much do they cost, I have been using silver buddy’s for along time and they cost about 4 bucks?

[@connorstrong562]

You have to understand these baits are made by the monks of the green fish on the summit of mount fuji

[@dennishodson990]

@@connorstrong562 LOL

[@Twangtown7]

Psst. Do you not carry the Over Ride anymore?

[@harveymoses5961]

I bought the Ottomat from you guys, that should work correct?

[@pprice01]

Sweet video! Thank you very much! And for the first time ever, someone suggests my Poison Adrena 172M for something specific, ha! I love that rod! Question is what else would you recommend that rod for? I’ve paired it to the new Metanium and have been throwing 2.8 Keitechs primarily. The hookup is awesome!

[@brianjoe1425]

I like it for finesse 1/4-3/8oz jigs.

[@therealpatrickstar1]

What about tailspins I know jackall makes a badass one

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Tailspin’s are dope! And yes, the Deracoup is a great one. We’ll do a tailspin episode 👍

[@konnerholt6838]

What is your guy’s thoughts on the Diawa Tatula 300 reel for large swim baits ?

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Sure! It feels great 👍

[@willisgls]

trust me they are not as stocked up as the video shows. went there twice and they were out of almost everything. try to get a gold override. love the store though

[@karsonclowers8013]

What about the 611 med+ in the poison adrena. Would it be a good option?

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Yes 👍

[@thomasindler1576]

St croix '6'8'"MXF 3/16 =5/8 snap jigging spinning tod is the ticket. Exalent explanation. Wrong rod?

[@akersnl]

Cold in the store?

[@cheezuscrust7730]

People dont know this very much but blade baits are awesome for ice fishing I tip them with minnow heads.

[@Smallmouthnation]

Thank you for the video

[@macktidwell494]

Zaldain has a damn long haired twin haha HIPPIE LOVE IT BROTHER lol maybe not but AT THE BEGINNING IT DID

[@Shawn_Lai]

Aren't you hot wearing that down jacket, haha. Some incognito Simms HookUp Tackle limited editions? Haha

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

It’s winter man!

[@northeastgiants775]

How many “yeahs” did he say till he realizes that he’s saying it to much lmao 😂 good vid

[@MRbassmasterman]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@stoneysdead689]

Can't even get an order completed before someone else has bought the stuff you had in your cart- eBay to the rescue, as usual.

[@ryandoll3684]

It’s pretty bad that happens all the time here to me also 😒 I feel like some guys just buy everything lol

[@areddfishing7473]

It’s also the worlds most snagged bait in the face of the earth I throw cincy fisher. Because I know where I’m fishing I’m loosing about 50 to 60 in a winter but I’m also having 100 fish days so I don’t care it’s a price I’ll pay..... but I’m hesitant to buy more expensive ones because I know they will be sacrificed to the snagged gods lol

[@bayardlohmiller9785]

I like the cincy ones too, plug knockers are a must if using expensive ones

[@randynunez2569]

The puffy jackets are fugly!

[@eric4seasons]

My wife wants to ban you all from my recommended videos. Haha. Very expensive.

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Haha! Yeah, I’m not a favorite amongst wives 🤣

[@davemccann3730]

That bait looks like Cornell gay blade 🎣
