Berkley Frittside Crankbait (WORST Lure or BEST Ever?)

[@alexralphryan6423]

I love how chilled you are when talking , open and honest ... so much KZbinrs out there that blow shit out of proportion and exaggerate... Respect!

[@lipsnatcher7483]

I love my Frittsides too bro.....you are spot on about the bill being the weak point, its cheap enough to replace easily, and they are fish catchers for sure and worth every penny.

[@GinoLosi]

Thanks for the info. I've been super curious about this crankbait. I'm stuck in my ways and it's hard for me to spend money on something new. I used to buy stuff at random and then it just rusts out because I end up disliking it or it doesn't do what I thought it would. This type of content helps to expand my arsenal with minimal waste. I dig it .

[@billgibson9968]

Got a few Frittside's last year and loved the bait. Got a few "Biggun" size 5 Frittsides to try this year. Also the 6th sense flat 75 is money! Brown eye special!

[@scottclark1168]

Fritz is the crankbait genius,I wouldn't expect any less from that crankbait,they look good for sure

[@JJEaton]

They reminded me of the Bomber flat A. I have been fishing them for years! Great video 📹 👍

[@donlewis1140]

I really enjoy your content and I always seem to pickup new info and tech, keep it up and I'll keep watchin.

[@mikeybalzz]

Thanks Don!

[@bassburglar4053]

Love that u read the comments and actually show u care about ur followers by answering questions and commenting back ✌️🤙

[@shanesmith5988]

Maybe not THE BEST , but definately one of the best!! Killer for me all Fall & Winter! Give the pooch a smooch for me brother!! Thank you for all you share with us!!

[@robertday2364]

Agree, the bill on Biggun will smack off and is a weak point. That is not a problem with the Frittside Jr. The Jr is equally deadly - try on spinning if difficult to cast. Great stuff 👍

[@JeremyMartin-xq7pb]

Agreed on the Jr., I use a medium light spinning rod for the those.

[@jamescaspersamanthalintner4767]

I've already got the frit side sickness lol love them

[@NHBackcountryGuide]

I found the opposite with repsect to where this bait excels. Lots of hangups in wood, but on rock and shell beds, it's money. One of my fish at Fork was 7.2lbs on the deeper diving Frittside. I crank with Curado DCs and I get a lot more distance with DT-6 and the Frittside. Huge difference in casting when it's windy.

[@stephenlitten5576]

Thanks for the honest review. I've been curious about trying the Frittside. Will definitely take your advice and go with the 5 biggun, once some colors I want are in stock.

[@ZZ430T56]

Thanks. So nice to see honest reviews

[@nickaxelson6280]

Another great video. You hit the frittside review on the nuts. They also smash the walleye up here in wi too. Tan mom color is my favorite also, 6th sense has a color named brown eye special that is very similar those colors to me catch fish when everybody is throwing red.

[@rlorang]

That corduroy hat is hella tight!

[@tlalexander3]

Perfect timing! I just picked up the 9 and 5 size

[@cheetoz6902]

Precise all you do for us Mike. Visit are top notch but I must say I prefer the deep fritz in cover bounces of ad gets crazy whale engulfs

Have you tried the OG Slim 6 yet?

[@dong8307]

Love your content and appreciate your work. Keep it going.

[@84FrankDaTank]

Any bait that lets bogg lick a fish is always a good one 👊

[@rickyreynolds9056]

Love it!! Keep up tha real content brother!! 💪🏻🎣

[@seatee4770]

One thing that nobody's mentioned and deserves mention is that these suspend dead still when paused. Super good in cold water. They don't shoot up to the surface when you pause it like lotta other cranks.

[@wolfgsooner5058]

Best ever!! They cracking it!!

[@pauleyplay]

I just received 3 Fritts 7s with a different bill ? Sides are dut back. New generation ? Great show Many Thanks !

[@briandibble2234]

The plan was to go to Academy today n buy a couple.... Hopefully they're not all sold out... They are hard to find

[@aDiam9545]

Great crankbaits,have had them for a good while and never had any broken bills,why is that? cause instead of slapping it to get grass off the hooks just reel bait in and pull grass off with your hand,very easy and simple, no more broken bills 🤔🤔👍

[@GrandpaGshow]

I have the Jr and it swims sideways to the left then pops up. It's brand new and the bill is not broken.

[@mikeybalzz]

Sounds like you got a dud

[@markcordero786]

Great video bud! I feel like the Bad Shad works better for me.

[@othacker2908]

What is the name of the $79 rod not the Scott canterberry. Thank you for all your videos

[@raiderbass]

Great video. Should try a timber tiger from worden.

[@JBfishing619]

Appreciate all the tips 💯

[@davidthomas4476]

Thanks was wondering about that bait. The osp hpf flat side and the magabass Sonic side are really good.

[@mikeybalzz]

I absolutely love the Sonic side I don't like the price point but there are very few baits out there that are comparable smash some spots on it during high water kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIu7cpZpqNh2gKM

[@pj3p488]

you need a curado 70 for the lighter cranks or even a Daiwa CT100

[@jerryvalentour164]

As always the best you.

[@thomasdrainville8224]

Do you usually use a clip or medal snap ring when cranking? If so why? I always direct tie to the lure.

[@markdavis394]

Size don't matter man! Lol. Your vids are always awesome.

[@thegiant573]

rounded square? Triangle elliptical? HAHA nice bait, useful, I like strait sided baits.

[@victorknight51]

What about the stock hooks?.... trash or not?.... need changed like just about every other crankbait?

[@justindickson5970]

Do you ever run scent on your lures

Have you tried the Slim 6? Maybe do a review

[@gamingdreams2142]

The color red is bull. Why aren't there any red or orange jig's then? Spinner baits? I'm not a believer.

[@Mbtharp1]

The color red flat out catches them in cold water. Also, they do make red spinnerbaits and chatterbaits.

[@andrewready9397]

I broke one of those bills off after a half day of fishing through rock

Throw it on spinning gear! Common man!

[@creighart]

so... is it the worst lure or the best ever

[@KamerenB]

Love that Scott Canterbury cranking rod from halo! It’s Soooo sensitive! Fritts also knew what he was doing when making his flat side.

[@keepupmcgee5099]

So ready for spring here in MN

[@kyleadams1215]

I been running a frittside 7 for 2 months on multiple lakes, havent caught one fish, ran a spro little john in the same areas and smashed on em, same thing with a lipless, maybe just bad luck idk

[@upthecreekyt]

Holy crap I'm early! Mikey, I need a partner for the big bass splash on Guntersville next weekend.

[@C.Adams82]

A tip for casting the the fritss side crankbaits, it's an expensive tip but a dawia Tatula sv 103 or a Shimano curado 70. Both reels have shallow spools are were basically designed for throwing light lures. I use the sv 103 and can throw a fritts side 30-35 yds. The key to casting flat sides is don't throw hard, just loosen the tension and lob it.

[@makinbigbassmemories6450]

Always great information 👍🏻tight lines in 2022

[@jimwarden9617]

Breaking lips is new to me. Interesting.

[@frankkoepp5351]

Spot on with that review! Definitely catches fish, but I broke the bill off of two myself.

[@phis.750]

I have a couple of these, and I am not really in love with them. ill give it a few more shots, but I really prefer a more typical square bill type bait. I really like the squarebull, but my local walmart decided that they would replace them all with choppo's and frittsides.

[@jamesdishman3359]

Just got a biggun in cream. Pie we have hard water. Right now!! So march it is !!!

[@jessecooper9795]

The 5 jr will cast a mile on a medium light casting rod with 10 lb fluoro. The og slim tiny is probably gonna be close to it

[@Luckycharms-mh8oz]

I bought the 7 in Kentucky Blue, ya I pulled a PB plus 4 others day one. I love it.

[@patrickmahoney3479]

One of the best lure reviews I have heard.

[@wulfthornoutdoors]

You can get acrylic sheets from a craft store, like hobby lobby, and make a replacement bill or adjust the action and depth range. Experiment with different sizes and shapes to get what you want the bait to do. Go a little thicker with your new bill for added durability.

[@timmcmaster6435]

I’m gonna try the fritts in the fla grass.. hey bro what kinda snaps u using there ? Hefty n righteous looking

[@mikeybalzz]

Owner hyper weld there's a link to them in the description box I think they're the 64 lb ones

[@miltonalbright1606]

Mikey what’s the size you have on that flat side thanks milt

[@mikeybalzz]

I believe it's the 60lbs bit.ly/2GpbbyI the bigger one is easier on the fingers and i don't think the fish care too much

[@jessemiller3561]

Hi Bog

[@tphvictims5101]

Mike, you’re good. NO DOUBT 👍🏻

[@marvjacobs5857]

Great video I just started painting baits for myself. When doing I am always thinking do I go for durability or action. I have jerkbaits that suspended perfectly with one coat of clear put second coat on they sink . My thinking is getting the right action is always first. Would love to know what you think and would love to send you a couple baits to get a real opinion. Thanks you for being you

[@rickgish6660]

great video mikey, i did learn something. FYI i took red fingernail polish and colored my spro little john crankbaits (the colors I do not like )and first time out, I caught 3. I was happy. hope to do better next time.

[@Justin-bt5yf]

Man... I thought he had a googan squad hat on at first.. I thought.. Surely not..then I saw gambler..whew

[@kurtrindgen4708]

I’m wondering if the Fritts 5, compared to the 5 Biggun, casts better. It’s slightly heavier and smaller. I haven’t been in the water with either and will try this weekend to confirm.

[@fivekeepersfishing9050]

Throw the frittside 5 on a slx mgl reel and you can sling it a mile. I had trouble casting it on a 200k as well.

[@lumpkinangler3613]

Do you take the split rings off sign you use the snap rings ? Or do you leave them on ? Can figure out which is better to do

[@zach8973]

I feel yea on breaking bill off , I cracked the only grand bagger I had from hitting it off wood and other cover in the 1-6 ft rang .

[@Mjones8383]

Yeah they're easy to break but catch them, though there are more reliable options out there
