I know this is an older vid, but I picked some bullflats up from you guys recently. This video is very helpful in presenting rigging ideas/options - one correction on the weights of the plastics stated in the video though. The 4.8 = 1oz The 5.8 = 1.75oz Confirmed these with kitchen scale - you’ll want a full scale swimbait rod to throw the 5.8” size IMO.

[@Marlonscrazy]

I appreciate the underwater clips so much. This is the best tackle channel hands down. This answered all my questions.

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Awesome man! Thank you for watching! 👊🍻

[@bonez747]

My delivery just came in today. I got every size all in bluegill colors. Went through a pack last weekend. 3.8 killed it. The Levante is pretty badass as well!

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Awesome! Thank you for your business! Glad you’re catching them! 🍻

[@StrongMindTV233]

Love the 3.8 for free rig and the 2” for bfs free rig I have caught countless bass on both and caught a 20lb flathead on the 3.8

[@mikegooding1075]

Awesome video guys! Always look forward to your videos.

[@bantoldude]

My I slide 135's just arrived in the mail yesterday, thanks hook up tackle! 🤙🤙

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Thank you for your business!

[@bantoldude]

Bought 4 I slides 135's this week and last week I got 4 Silent killer 115's! Can't wait to use them next week! 🤙

[@Tbowie13]

Your gonna love those, they're addicting. I'm a 185 nut, and just got into the 262's about a month ago. The I slides are incredible and get bit if ya put em in the right places!

[@scottcameron3559]

Well done FedEx just dropped those on the porch, I appreciate the videos, keep um coming

Thank you for watching!

Stay tuned for the Berkley Flatty coming to win iCast 2022.

[@dustinwalker8152]

lmao! It's sad but so true

[@064pointbreak]

Where's the evidence?

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

😂 that's good

[@kevinporter5146]

That's So Crazy!!! It's Now a Couple of Months after I cast 2023, and Guess What? Or Should I say Guess Who's prophetic??? So sad,at the same time,for Small Business Owners. The Legendary Fishermen that are plugging them, and introducing the Berkeley Mad Scientists who invented them...are making me Cringe whenever I see them on KZbin!!!

[@davidohlert4754]

Lol

[@shadybanks8625]

I was hoping to keep this bait quiet for a little longer. I like the 5.8 with a 9/0 Trokar Kelp Trick hook. I also use the Bellows Gill but it fishes different and I like a weight with a Jungle hook.

[@efrainsandoval6480]

Fish it in the kelp?

[@shadybanks8625]

@@efrainsandoval6480 I’ve never fished actual kelp before but the Kelp hook keeps it in place when I skip it better than anything else I have found. It’s a great dock bait.

[@ericriedel1636]

Love to see the product actions in the water. Thanks!!

[@northeastgiants775]

Been throwing a giant swim jig up in jersey and caught 5 five pounders I consider my self a jig man because I put most my time into them gave a great day just ordered a pack

[@youtubzkoz]

I watched this 3 times, got my 5.8 in the bento box. going to have to try it out! even watched the 2nd posting lol. also love the salty mach sonic and got a 16" and 19" rainbow yesterday trolling 20ish feet on the rim lakes! a new favorite blade bait! had to buy 6 more! lost the one I had!

[@jddarby007]

These videos are why you are always in my wallet ...... Keep them coming

The 4.8” on a heavy carolina rig is killer 🔪

[@roberts.2413]

thanks for the feedback, I thought of that when watching it .

[@markmoretzfishing]

Great job can’t wait to try it👍

[@Tbowie13]

Bang up video as always!

[@musicnote-co-kr]

Hello U.S brother. Thank you very much for share your precious experience. What do you think about "The bull flat is also good for weightless rig" ?

[@ronaldcox2741]

Ben, like I said a few weeks ago, ole beard looking good, grow her way out and see what comes about, not everyone wears it well, you will 🤟🏻👍🏻

Ok! 😜🍻

Love you guys, not criticism but thing spring called hitch hikers

[@blahblahmilbury]

So… I’ve noticed you guys aren’t pumping Geecrack bellows gills, any back story there?

[@nickkerr5714]

Do you see any gee Crack in their store?

[@064pointbreak]

The 4.8 inch size will make a good chatterbait trailer

[@DavidPare9]

Hi ! Love the break down videos watched this video a Bunch of time ! ! Just one thing l'd like to see is the setups broken down as well in this case for the 4.8" and 5.8" . Just not sure if my bait casting setup a 7' MH 3/8-1 fast tip with a Abu Royal Express 1 6.3:1 is enough to throw the 5.8" , though it should be enough for the 4.8" ?

[@republican2153]

Will these be good for skipping?

[@marcusvidrine7688]

Do you nose hook or Texas rig the 3 inch when drop shotting it? Also what color would you say gets bit the best? Thanks for this amazing video!! I’m ready for you & Jefe to do an hour long swimbait video…tackle, rods, baits, line, Orion, everything!!

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Nose hook is probably the best way. Color just depends on the body of water. Green pumpkin and bluegill are great starting points!

[@Straight_Kash]

Isn’t there a 2 inch? I really love the idea of using the small ones as a jig trailer! Thank you!

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

There is, it’s really tiny. And not available often

[@kevinzap.fishing]

Can you guys do a breakdown on the cover scat? I’ve got some but can’t figure out how to fish it without the line twist.

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Fish it like a jig

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

And yes, we can do that video!

[@kevinzap.fishing]

@@thehookuptackle_usa alright thanks!

[@shadybanks8625]

I fish it weightless like Kenta showed. And fish it like cracking a tube…. It works! It is slow so I only hit high percentage areas. BTW it takes dye really well so if you can’t find the color want you can make any color black or GP.

[@erylopez9235]

We need some ryugi hooks to come back in stock. How about some hayabusa hooks?

[@davidthomas4476]

Can you do a rigging on the bull slide

[@dontdoxmebro1780]

I know this video is pretty old but how you guys rigging the 2”?

[@Elliottvision1]

I don't know who disliked this video but you need to go!

[@1wr8]

Deja Vu?

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

I though maybe it was so good we should post it twice?! 😜🍻

[@KriticullCTRL]

Will the Owner weighted 6/0 work with the 5.8? Don't have anything bigger on hand and looking to use the bait this weekend.

[@youtubzkoz]

yes 6/0 or 7/0 I believe

[@carlchristenson3430]

Can I ask what size Owner CPS you recommend to replace the spring keeper for he 4.8 size and Ryugi 5/0 Pierce hook?

[@DavidPare9]

I have been told that the medium size Owner CPS is the way to go.

[@gourdow]

Can I use the 5/0 Makisasu Weightes worm hook instead of the 6/0 Makisasu Magnum Weighted hook for the Bull Flat 4.8?

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Sure. Weightless is a great way to go too.

[@michaelbrooks6976]

Are Zoom products sold in Japan? If so do you think they're paying $10 per pack?

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Zoom is very popular in Japan, and yes, about $8-10 a bag.

[@areddfishing7473]

When fishing the free rig is this more of a drag or you guys hopping it?

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Both. You need that lift and drop though!

[@stoneysdead689]

So how do the dolive gills rig up? Round side up or down? I thought it was flat side down- am I wrong?

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Flat side is designed to be top - but use them however they work for you!

[@stoneysdead689]

@@thehookuptackle_usa Thank you- tbh I was pretty impressed with them flat side down, very cool bait.

[@xxxxxxx3760]

When will they be back in stock

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

There’s a ton instock now

[@_Lt__Dan_]

Surprised you didn't say free rig for the 3 inch bull flat

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Could definitely be done! Too finesse for me

Sell em to the guy who's asking for 2 inch further up in the comments...lol

I don’t understand why you would promote a hook that tears out? Why make it a choice?

4/0 shaky Head hook

Probably skips great

Kill it here in Ohio on the 4.8 grape color

That’s a cool color!

[@r0btimUs0341]

Seems very fluke like. I’ll give her a try

[@artvandelay418]

Unfortunately this is another fad. Just like the bellows gill. We will return to the weightless 6" senko.
