That's a really nice rod & reel set up! Yes Shemano's deftly the best.

I love it man! Die hard diawa guy but this one might have sold me on spinning reels 🙌🏼🙌🏼

@@craigleith100my man!!! 🔥🔥 it’s a 2000 size shimano vanford. Such a smooth real. I’m still using it today! Its price runs from $200-$250 USD depending on sales!

[@craigleith100]

@@fishkrazed Thanks m8 I recently had a Shimano Scierra inexpensive but still a very good reel I’ll be hoping for a new reel for Christmas I want to try winter fishing for pike & perch so my 5ft6 UL rod & size 1000 reel I used for wild browns needs a big brother for bigger waters & fish 😁 take it easy and Tight lines 😉 ✌🏼💙🎣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤷🏼‍♂️

Nice video. You’ll get subs in no time bud.

[@fishkrazed]

Thanks pal. We’re growing daily over here and I’m super thankful!

[@surfandstreamfisher5749]

what state were you fishing in? those were some beautiful 'bows & browns. jerk baits have been my goto's for a long time now.i'm never on a trout stream w/o Rapalas in my bag.

[@fishkrazed]

Just about every video I post is from WV or PA. Beautiful fish for sure! And I’m the same, I’ll never fish without my jerkbaits!

[@surfandstreamfisher5749]

@@fishkrazed after watching your video i got on the Rapala website to order some of Elites and a few others. like i don't have enough, but i didn't have any of the Elites!...

[@fishkrazed]

@@surfandstreamfisher5749 I still love those elites. I’ve been using a few others but man those countdowns get chewed!

[@Garou0410]

Would you please be so kind and tell me what rod / reel and line you were using? Great video, wonderful river. Would love to fish there too 🎣👍

[@fishkrazed]

I’m going to be making a video on the setup I’m using now soon, however this is what I’m using! St. Croix trout series rod, 6’9 medium light. Paired with a 2000 size shimano vanford spooled with 8lb Pline tactical fluorocarbon. 🔥🔥

[@Garou0410]

@@fishkrazed thank you. Will look these fine components out now. Keep your videos coming. 🎣👌

[@fishkrazed]

@@Garou0410 I’ll do my best!! Thank you

[@Garou0410]

What size of the Rapala lure have you been using? The smallest one? Color: GILDED BROWN TROUT (GDBT)? Thanks 🎣

[@fishkrazed]

Yessir! I prefer the 55 size. It has a slower sink rate which works better for my shallow creeks and rivers. I’m going to get some of the 75 size though for bigger water!

[@aftonm693]

I used the 55 in brown trout color and get some nice ones, I just got the rapala countdown sinking 2inch brook trout pattern and landed a 22.5 inch brown

[@Catch_and_Release_Angling]

You should try a megabass x-nanahan 75. It’s a great suspending jerkbait that I like for trout.

[@fishkrazed]

I’ll check them out now. I’m actually going to post about wanting to do a series using baits you guys recommend!

[@Freedommachineadventure]

Are you based out of wv

[@fishkrazed]

Yessir! Currently living up north.

[@steveclutter8478]

Please take this video down. It goes against community standards. Basically, ive been trying to keep these jerkbaits a secret all year. Your taking away my advantage and thats just not cool. They are awesome, huh

[@fishkrazed]

LOL. They are excellent baits!!

[@joexiong13]

lol. No one really uses these for trout fishing. It’s awesome. Been using these and micro Jdm jerk baits for years.

[@fishkrazed]

Jerkbaits definitely have a place in the trout fishing world. People who don’t use them every now and then are missing out!

[@cmchatton1680]

What river and state are you fishing in? Beautiful first fish! John McHatton

[@watchman316ly]

There's no such thing as secret. I've been using all kinds of jerk baits- Rapalas, Megabass greathunting, Bassday, daiwa, jackals, Dynamic lures, Creep AIM series, and especially Duo Spearhead Ryuki!
