Thank you sir

[@enlowfishing7813]

I love your videos man. Great info and Im happy you get to do it full time now. God bless!

[@BassGeek]

Yeah We are getting closer and closer hope things will get better and better

[@ChuckJohnsonFishing]

Another great video Hank! I’m a big fan of the Bandits too. I just went back and re-watched your total break down video again and noticed you mentioned the Little John. Man I have fell in love with that thing for a shallower diving flat side. I’ve been cranking Douglas for the last month or so and have been wacking them on several of the crank baits you mentioned in that video. This past Friday they were loving a red wiggle wart and a red Berkley money badger. It was text book conditions for a crank bait with a lot of action. Stained water, some cloud cover, and 10-15 mph west winds!

[@BassGeek]

Nice! That’s a great cranking lake. I remember back when Cherokee was a good cranking lake and had some stain down the lake. I miss it

[@ChuckJohnsonFishing]

@ yeah I’ve not been on Cherokee in a long time but I use to catch some good fish there cranking. I’ve heard that it’s not fishing very good anymore.

#100percentwatchsquad I love my Bandit cranks! I have a 200 in smoke shad that has just been tearing them up for me this year!

[@BassGeek]

That smoke shad is killer

[@Daiwa_Is_King]

I’m a diehard OSP blitz series crankbait fanatic. They have been amazing for me over the years and landed me some giants. I’ve also been messing with the ima pin jack 200 and for shallow water the ima shaker. I’m pretty happy with them so far, they have produced some decent fish when the bite was slow. Thank you as always Hank I appreciate everything you do for us geeks. #LoveDecemberFishing #HUNDOSQUAD

[@BassGeek]

I've got to take those out of the box and put them in the boat. I've got'em but haven't used them yet. lol

[@SkunkMasterFishing]

As always great info! Thanks for the tips!

[@BassGeek]

Thank you sir. I hope we are helping some.

[@brianlee9074]

Hey Hank. I threw a flat side crank for a bit yesterday. Didn't catch anything, but I'm starting to throw them more often this time of year. Thanks for the video big man. #100percentwatchsquad

[@BassGeek]

Nice It’s time I don’t know if it’s time down there hahaha but it has to be getting close

[@brianlee9074]

@BassGeek been in the upper 30's at night lately. Forecast for Tuesday night is 30 degrees. That should cool the water down. 😁

[@garyplowman5838]

Great crankbait video BassGeek thank you for the info bud 👍🏻

I like this video. Man I ain’t get a bite yesterday, tried every doggone thing too! I need 300 series bandits. All I have is 100s. That standard rootbeer is my color! Thanks bud

[@BassGeek]

That’s a great color

[@clay7514]

@@BassGeek yesir, ripped em in October on it around shallow wood, new subscriber 💪🏼

[@ryanpotts9934]

Winter time cranking can be very beneficial when the bite is slow . Getting that reaction bite and covering water can pay off when you figure out what kind of structure and depth they are in . I always have a crankbait tied on.

[@BassGeek]

It’s always fun to crank’em up for sure

[@SetDahHook]

I'm happy to hear this love crank baits

[@BassGeek]

Love’em

[@willperryman4559]

Love this video Hank, because it’s cold weather and there’s a little cleaner bottoms from the grasses that have died off. I love the TFO rods across the board and the 7’4” cranking is a must especially for the Bandit 300’s 🎣🦃🎣 I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and I am already thinking of the Expo’s coming up in January ( tell me you’ll be in Raleigh). I know 2025 will see you reach 100K subscribers 💯😎👍🎣 and we will definitely have to plan a Celebration 🎉 no matter when it happens 🥳🤩🥳😎

[@BassGeek]

Thanks Will I hope ya doing well sir.

[@christiecoopersellshouses5738]

Thank you for another awesome video!

[@BassGeek]

Thank you for watching

[@alex_darsen]

Love the Bandits particularly since all the baits are the same size just the bill lengths are different. Really helps when you need a smaller bait to go deeper. Most crankbait companies size up the bait the deeper they’re made to go, and that’s not the best option at times. Thank you from the Los Angeles area.

[@BassGeek]

Yup makes it easy to fish for deeper with and keep the small profile.

[@coreydolese6966]

Hey I'm new to bass fishing I always hoped you would to a video for us guys in the marsh in south Louisiana . so I can get a better understanding of some lures . I really dig the hoodwink .I'm waiting on them to come in now!! OK thanks

[@BassGeek]

Heck yeah now down there If it’s me it’s going to be more shallow baits for sure

The rootbeer is magic too yall 🤫

[@MarcusSpjut]

Alot of good info as allways. Reely gonna try that extra crank when hiting structure. Not been that keen on crankbaits in the winter I allways seen it as a bit of a trolling bait in winter for big pike. But got myself a Norman deep little N was planing to try it out today in the river. But will fish a more of a deeper part over a mudflat as there is where the baitfish are from now to spring. But will look it in today by leaveing the ned/blades at home. xD

Oh perfect place

I need to try the blitz

[@jessecooper9795]

@BassGeek best finesse cold water crank I've found. Holla at Trey Harpel. He does custom paint on em

[@mattfleming86]

Gotta shout out the berkley dime (nice medium-tight wobble) and frittside (very tight) I've had some decent luck with the "modern" berkley baits. Durable, decent hooks. About lost my clear-blue dime this morning to a musky 😂 somehow he didnt cut the line.

[@BassGeek]

Oh yeah they are really good baits

I like firetyger crank baits and also water Mellon soft baits

I love the bandits but the pradco ones are garbage. The bills are irregular and the colors aren’t like the original ones. Does anyone else agree with me.

[@BassGeek]

I don’t I have a ton of

[@jessecooper9795]

Can definitely tell a difference in the quality of them after they switched to Pradco. I've got 4 boxes of Bandits 100-300 series and less than 10 are Pradco

[@BassGeek]

That’s the way it goes but I think they have worked the bugs out now. It’s been a minute since they bought them.

i like your content but 8 min of averment's of 13 min is a little too much fyi

[@BassGeek]

I think you are very over estimating. Just cause it sounds like an ad don't mean I'm selling it. It just means I'm sound professional. It might be because I had 2 years of Broadcasting in college.

[@Michael-ev3ls]

Loved the original bandit series. Never a bill issue until Pradco purchased the company. For a few yrs after the purchase the bills cracked. Still have several originals on the wall. Good ole days they were a $1 at Academy sports. 😂

[@BassGeek]

Yeah I think they have worked the bugs out now. I e not has’em crack but I grind’em down on the rocks 😆
