I NEVER Go BANK FISHING Without This LURE

[@Eclipse1988]

Thanks to KZbin, I'm now a bank fisherman with 13 different fishing rods, a 40lb tackle box, all stuffed into a compact suv where I can no longer use my center console due to the rods sticking up and changing the radio on me when i hit a speed bump! 😂😂 (I wouldn't have it any other way 😋)

Not just the Senko, but any weightlessness soft plastic is great from the bank. I like flukes and float worms too.

[@vernervanschalkwyk2280]

Absolutely agree with you. Here in South Africa the senko is very expensive so i fish the 5 inch yum dinger and the jumbo fat albert from Damiki most of the times weightless. Different colours for both.

[@PassaicRiverFishing]

Agree or a hellgrammite is also deadly always works even on a drop shop regardless of depth

Fluke goattttttt

[@_andyandy8307]

I started fluke fishing this year, and I absolutely love it

[@Unit_With_Legs]

Inline spinners. Mepps #5. Squarebill or mid crankbait. 1/8 oz Jighead and 3" grub. Works well in areas that get more traffic.

[@sstephens30047]

Thanks!

[@svengalt9546]

I spend all summer doing exactly that: frogging mats. I started using soft plastic toads(zman black goat toadz) this year for the first time with that gama G-finesse hybrid hook and I never lose fish and can drag them through the slop without bending out a 4-0. I'm very reluctant to try a hollow body again after how successful these toads have been. Flukes used as topwater/subsurface is another summer favorite. Thank you for the recommendations and ideas, they really help me build a solid tackle bag.

[@Steve-ev6vx]

Yeah I am a toad man myself. I go with the zoom horny toad for a weightless rig and the Zman goat with a weighted swim bait hook.

[@joecuillo5005]

I use toads when it's a little more open and you can work it faster. Frogs when it's thick and there's minimal holes to let it just sit for a minute. They both have there times for me

[@svengalt9546]

@@joecuillo5005 Yeah it's great to have both tools on hand. If you are in marshy areas with duckweed mats, the toad is easy for the fish to track there too. I also use a very unique mini hollow body frog made in the Philippines designed for snakehead. It has a single tiny spinner blade instead of legs, weighs maybe 7/16oz and is only 3/4 of an inch long. I think it has become my favorite topwater of any kind.

[@juanmontoya1744]

Thanks for this video for bank anglers like me 👍👍👍

[@rogerglasco5941]

I have banked fished several times with success. I now am blessed, my wife bought me a new Ranger rig that I love. I am here in south central Florida with a lot of lakes around me. My PB is 11.8 pounds. Several 10 pounders. I have had several bites on a Zoom 7 inch June Bug. Either fast or slow, it really works for me. I buy a lot of "smelly Jelly". That stinking pink stuff really works. It is around $9.00 per jar. I get it from Tackle Warehouse. I order 6 jars in order to have no shipping cost. 1 jar will last me about a year. I like your frogs the other crank bait. I know they work but I go out in the boat only a couple hours in the morning and come home. I am retired so I go when I want. I love to watch my bass swim off after the catch. I give them a kiss and thank them for the fight. I just love it. I watch a lot of tournament fishing but I don't ever fish them myself. I don't want any pressure at all. If they are not biting that morning that is just tough. I'll fish the next morning. I love being on the water. I am thankful to the good Lord for giving me the health and the chance to chase those beautiful green creatures.

[@paDdywitha]

I like how you shout slowly and clearly at us. Makes me feel “R”. That also makes me relaxed all over, except my neck. My neck feels like it’s growing in strength, and quickly.

[@JohnSeaward]

The one bass lure since childhood which always always always performed for me for bass is the panther Martin spinner (gold tone blade and body ) I got that lure when I was a kid tried it and never looked back and that's 40+ yrs now that I use it, when all else fails I always go back to that one panther Martin spinner !

[@TYTY-mi1uo]

Medium or medium heavy 6ft 1 piece spinning rod, 3000 size reel, 10lb sufix elite. You'll never need another setup regardless of bait type you're using or heavy cover. I snag all the freaking time, and have caught several types/ weights of fish but still have yet to break the line or lose a lure one single time, ever. Stop overcomplicating things people.

[@wagstag89]

That's pretty much what I set up for bank fishing or canoe fishing my swampy creek. I bought a Shakespeare Pro Lite Medium Heavy 6ft rod and a Daiwa Regal 3000 spinner but went with 10lb braid. I love the way it fishes the lures I use and it's plenty stout enough to rig up for catfish if I want to. I do take a 5'6 ultra light with mono for blue gill and crappie but there's probably around $175 invested in my rigs and that covers just about everything.

[@audiodrink]

100%

[@robyarby8129]

🫡 i have a shimano spinning reel with a trigger i’ve been using for maybe 30 years. it’s my go-to. pretty much just use rubber worms and jointed shad runners. it’s an idiot proof rig on an old berkeley 6.5’ rod. 10 pound test and i’m not catching anything that’s gonna pop that unless it’s a turtle. now i have hooked some warmouth that i THOUGH would snap it. they are small fish but fight super hard

[@bananagaming4344]

[@Cornelius798]

I've had luck so far this year from the bank throwing a ZOOM Ultra Vibe Craw, T rigged. Color > New Penny, with the claws doctored up with Spike-It Crawfish. Had luck with a Yamamoto Senko. Color > Midnight, t rigged. Love frog fishing. Scum Frogs are my preferred choice, but I'm going to try Berkley's Swamp Lord.

[@michaelc8606]

My top three where I bank fish are 1) the silver/blue chug bug, 2) swimming a cotton cordell spoon just under the surface, and 3) having some white flukes on hand when the largemouth get really aggressive (just be ready when the fluke hits the water). I catch numerous bass with these lures, and in the last week, three of the largemouth landed were 4+ lbs. One 3 pounder blew up the chug bug about 5 times on a single retrieve before grabbing it.

[@Oldbasshole]

Can’t go wrong with a Chugbug !! Very underrated lure !!

[@thekey1682]

Used spoons from the bank also....but the last 7 or so years I've gone to the "blade bait" and I believe Cordell makes one....I'm not talking about a "bladed spinner bait" but it's shaped just like a shad and the vibration and reflection of the sun make it lethal...have caught everything on it and has become my "go to" when fishing is tough. You can work it on the bottom or close to the surface and even jig it vertically just like a spoon

[@bobdonaldson445]

I so agree with your selection. Senko definitely numero uno.

[@BarryP]

You are doing awesome work, Tyler! Love ya, brother!

[@HataKreataz]

One of the best reviews I’ve watched in a LONG time. Sincerely, thank you!

[@strycian]

0:32 I disagree. The thing that ruins my bank fishing experience is getting snagged on the weeds and overgrowth on the pond surface and having to spend more time retying my line than actually fishing. I don't understand how you can fish on top of that stuff without losing everything.

[@joecuillo5005]

Limited options. Single hook lures only with alot of vegetation is what I've always done. He's got it covered for sure. Sure you could change anything out for something else but if you take 3 rods with these setups you'll catch fish

[@nathansackett6890]

I'm gonna tell you something about bass fishing right now, remember it please cuz it will change your outcomes on the water. If your worried about snagging off you won't be catching any bass......THE FISH ARE IN THE SNAGS....all of em, weeds laydowns manmade objects......you gotta cast within inches of that cover if you wanna catch em

[@nathansackett6890]

Braid or die for frogs, also setting that hook with stretchy mono is harder too and the soft frogs hooks need a hard YANK to set.😊

[@nathansackett6890]

Scum frogs the softest body and it has prop feet for once you clear the weeds. I like it but the booyah pad crasher and crasher-popper is my favorite (white tiger)

[@nathansackett6890]

Also when I fish Lilly's and the frog lands in a small pocket of open water I let it float and twitch it there for a good 5-10 seconds and they hammer it often when I do

[@brianathern9154]

Definitely my top 3 picks with a topwater Popper thrown in when I get out early. Building up familiarity and confidence with the bladed jigs but it comes down to sticking with it a little longer. Thanks for sharing Ty

Better have your drag set perfectly...I had my PB last week do a hard, straight dive directly under the kayak in 1 last attempt to get away...The bass succeeded...snapped my braid like it was nothing...30 lb.

[@carlbodene8150]

Best for me is Z-MAN Frogz with a 5/0 ewg hook w/ bait holder. The frog is made from plastic that floats and the hook up ratio is way higher than the conventional hollow body soft plastic dual hook frogs.
