Gulp Camo colored Sandworms (cut in 2" lengths) or Big Hammer Grubs in Motor Oil Red Flake color. We call it "Perch Crack" around here. Carolina rigged. Way cheaper than the Z-man 6 packs. I buy the $20 tub of the Sandworms, tub is filled a bunch of the sandworms and a bunch of the magic juice scent. Then throw a bunch of the Big Hammer grubs into the tub to get the scent also. Give it a shot, you won't regret it.

Just received the Crusteaz, Slider bait paddle tails and the Gamagasu hooks, can hardly wait to try this. But 2 quick questions if I may... (1) Watched a number of times but can't tell for sure if the hook on the Crusteaz comes out the top or bottom of the bait??? (2) Are you using the same hook/rig combo on the paddle tails??? Why such a heavy weight???

[@Hook2Cook]

Dan Learned yes same hook on both. Weight depends on current of the water you’re fishing. The hook on the crusteaz comes out of the slotted portion of the bait.

[@Hook2Cook]

+Philet-o-phish I’ve had this conversation with a lot of people about how open the surf fishing community is. We like seeing others succeed. Helping others builds good will. It’s different from lake fishing or anything else where it’s tough conditions. I thought long and hard about releasing this video. Helping others beat out any other option. Thanks for watching

[@cgyotoku]

+@@Hook2Cook To each his own, I guess. Part of the enjoyment of fishing comes from figuring out what to use and experimenting, not just being spoon fed. I have no problem with you trying to educate people to become better fisherman...best tides, months, how to identify holes, rips etc. Seemed like your buddy was forced to give up his info too. Keep in mind, KZbin is a huge platform.

[@Hook2Cook]

Philet-o-phish I get it, but good baits will be found out sooner or later. People still need to do research to find out. We just see things a little differently. Also this is KZbin. He played it up and so did I. We did three videos using the the bait without revealing it. It was mutual to release. Bobby is actually excited to hear about people using it successfully. I’d much rather be a part of people reducing frustration and having success than to keep that to myself. If Bobby didn’t want to share, he knew I wouldn’t film. I honor that. Tight lines, nothing personal just a difference in opinion

eric cruz greasy prawn 1 and pumpkin 2

[@ericcruzstealth]

Hook2Cook my wife picked the same order as you :). Shes quite the fisherman!

Also was thinking the super glue might deter the fish cause of the manmade smell? Thoughts on that and thanks for tips Ed! I’ve got family in SM and hope to see you one of these days maybe at the honda dealer or something :)

[@Hook2Cook]

eric cruz yea let me know. We’ll connect. Once the superglue dries the scents gone... Bobby does well without the marinade so I don’t think it’ll effect the bite

What type hook and at what size do you use for the paddle tail grub?

[@Hook2Cook]

Greg Tan same setup is the best with the straight shank size 2 hook

[@dansibayo4214]

My tips on fishing perch is keep all the fish alive by putting fresh water in the bucket because you're only allowed ten as your limit and if you're catching more than your limit you can always put the smaller size back to the water and keep all the big ones in the bucket.

[@Hook2Cook]

Ohhhh yea! That’s how the OGs do it!

[@whatsupclimber]

Hey man love the videos. Do you bleed your perch? If so, how long after you catch it? Thanks again man

[@Hook2Cook]

Hayyrryy thanks bro! You’re the one who commented you found our channel through amazon right? Thanks for saying so. No bleeding perch, but that makes sense to do to end it quick and not keep the stress hormones in. We’ll try it as an experiment

[@whatsupclimber]

@@Hook2Cook yea that was me. I retracted the comment because the video ended up telling me the info I needed, but yea, those amazon review ads are working lol. And I only ask about the bleeding because I know some fish taste better when you bleed them immediatley. Do you think stress hormones affect taste?

[@Hook2Cook]

Hayyrryy maybe, a video made a great case that stress hormones from being caught start to leech into the meat. That being said, if they are dispatched quickly once we decide to keep the fish, it might make a difference. But the difference and might not be detected in a taste test, but it might keep a little longer in the fridge if it’s bled out

[@richs4878]

Curious what the big difference would be with the bait holder hooks with the hole bent 45° forward vs the worm hooks with the straight hole? Bobby mentions preferring the straight but then seems to brush off the difference. Do you sense it affects action a lot? Has he tried both and the straight just catch more for some reason with this setup for perch? The #2 hooks I have right now are bait holder type with the bent hole and my straight worm hooks are 1/0. Worried 1/0 might be too big for perch....

[@Hook2Cook]

He’s a stickler for keeping the baits presentation nice and straight. Having a bend in the hook will translate into the plastics which can cause the bait to spin in the water

Could be not using a heavy enough weight and it’s getting pushed around

[@xyzct]

@@Hook2Cook, I'm typically use a 1 1/2 to 2 oz no-roll weight. I think what happens is that on long casts the lighter leader and lure fly _behind_ the weight, and in flight wrap few times around the mainline.

@@xyzct it's probably going to sound weird but try the eggs sinkers... never had luck with those no roll weights.

[@xyzct]

@@Hook2Cook, I will do that. I have a full size range so I'll give them a go.

I'll keep you posted. Great channel, btw. I never miss an episode.

[@Hook2Cook]

@@xyzct hope it helps. it's fun to experiment. when it pays off it's so rewarding. it might even be a more natural presentation as it allows the bait to swing naturally. have you been paying attention to the power of the surges in your area or how rough it is when you fish? surf-forecast.com is pretty good for that
