I'm an 80 yr old woman angler. I just discovered your KZbins! I want to thank you for explaining so many skills so clearly. When I was 70 I bought a Hobie fishing kayak and love fishing that way. But until then I was a bank angler...pond and reservoirs...mostly pan fish. Now I'm trying to do more bass fishing and really appreciate your information about lures and equipment! Please keep up the good work so I can keep learning!

[@randallpinkfloyd7225]

Debo's Top-5 1. Frog 2. Frog 3. Frog 4. Teckel Sprinker 5. Frog

[@DEBOSFishing]

I'm not sure about pick #5...it may be a popping frog...🤔

[@fatboifishing]

“Stand uppy grass” 😂 I knew exactly what you meant when you said it too

[@recoveryfishing364]

I think he meant eelgrass but yea i knew what he meant

[@chadcase5936]

Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, kzbin.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.

[@reelfishing002]

I love topwater actions , it doesn’t matter if it’s bass, pikes, stripers , heck if I’m desperate, I would even toss on a micro topwater lure for sun fish topwater blow up🤣🤣

[@billcoerver4583]

My top 5 are : 1- frog 2- 1/2 oz jig with RI trailer 3- 1/2 oz white spinnerbait 4- squarebill 5- TRD All thrown on Dobyns rods with Daiwa baitcasters

[@TimHaunFishing]

The absolute best advice in this video in my very very humble opinion, "Don't go overboard with your colors, get a couple and focus on fishing." I have dove all the way down the rabbit hole on trying different types of plastics, different brands among those types and all sorts of colors. But on tournament day I make sure I have: black & blue, green pumpkin, watermelon red flake, and white. Those 4 colors on a creature style, worm, and baitfish plastics will get it done. You could even drop the white for everything but moving bait trailers.

[@evanmadson]

Now that I’m neck deep in a frog addiction, if I was you I would low key be making up videos to make related to frogs.. “The best frog combo for fishing on Tuesday July 29th” Lol cheers brother

[@ApexWalrus]

Of course this comes out when it is like 67 degrees in Iowa today!

[@danielaznar3414]

What happened to you gilo I miss watching your videos 😃

[@MattLaClear]

Michigan State Sparty freak, btw. I 💘 seeing Big 10 fans fly their colors.

[@shanescott3168]

You have me fishing frogs every trip now. Thank you for the practical information.

[@elimooney937]

My top-5 .1 frog .2 hj 7 rapala husky jerk .3 any curly tail grubs .4 rebel pop r .5 night crawlers

[@alejandroquiros2910]

Frogg in hot summers days is the best you cover lat of waters

[@FishinWithGramps]

a solid summer time lineup for sure. I'm going to catch a frog bass, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna!

[@alcav54]

Got my first frog fish of the year a couple of weeks ago. I was giddy for a days!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing better!!!

[@cjn8730]

Instead of a worm weight, I use a swivel connected directly to the hook with a snap ring. No line twist and the weight of the swivel will help with longer casting and get the worm down deeper and faster.

[@Grimey_Fishing]

In no particular order: 1) hollow body frogs, 2) jigs, 3) Texas rig (might be replaced by the Tokyo rig when I finally start experimenting with it this weekend), 4) wacky rig, and 5) ned rig.

[@pacman_17]

I was looking into frogs. Your video came just in time.

[@cjn8730]

One recent tip I've noticed on the tube is to put a bobber stop directly on the hook. Put it on over the hook tip past the barb and up to the first bend in the hook.. The bait will not slide down the hook and last longer

[@uncleswampy764]

Frogs are my first lure of the day…then I use Tx rig with some kinda beaver or craw…I might flip a jig or two. Here in Idaho it seems like it’s always windy so buzz baits work pretty good. The smallies up here seem to like the 6th sense prawn in grass candy or black w/ blue flake.

[@davidcicetti8421]

Agreed! Great picks..Only thing that I would add is a Ned Rig. When a summer heatwave hits and the bite is off, sometimes it is the only thing that will catch fish.

[@longrider692001]

100% agree with your picks Debo, and as far as a more snagless chatterbait esp. around wood, you should really give the Z-man chatterbait freedom a go. I'm actually a bit surprised you didn't mention the in between lure of a buzz-frog like the Booyah Toad runner, or Teckel Sprinker, etc. for that thick summer fishing when you want the frog profile with the buzzbait action?! Good stuff as always my friend!

[@RadYOacTVe]

Great video as always!

[@Cali_Inca]

Just caught the first summer frog fish this weekend with my old man!! Ton of blowups to end the day! Perfect timing on this video 💥🐸🌅

[@micron3268]

Great info! Thanks for posting this!

[@Jbanz.]

I love the tip videos, Thanks Debo!

[@fatguybassin8046]

Appreciate the info great stuff as always 🎣🎣🔥🔥

[@danielcostello6952]

Thank you for the practical information.

[@richardblake4777]

Agree 100% Debo, might add a squarebill to the list especially for summertime.

[@janosczovek8524]

Excellent video really enjoyed it thanks 😊👊

[@beezyfishingoutdoors_2168]

Booyah Old Smokey has catch me some Big Berthas 🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@gregmarriott3495]

great video, Debo! Always learning from your videos.

[@craterellus3577]

My all-time favorite summer lure on my favorite mountain pond (Oregon) easily has to be a tiny top water prop bait. The bass dont get any bigger than 3lbs at that spot, but they feed and fight hard! With a little 2 inch prop bait I can fish it along the pads, under trees, and even in open water and get bites every other cast in the morning. I mean, who doesnt love getting constant topwater bites?

[@boomboomoutdoors5430]

Great informative video man.

[@w_dub_wilberforcejr]

Always fantastic information bro!! Tnx for the tips as well. really helps.

[@michaelstake7440]

Love all the information. Always good to learn more stuff for fishing.

[@jasonwalk4257]

Debo, your videbos are always informative, even if I don't fish what you fish, because it adds to the options that I have in my "fishing toolkit".

[@billsutorius2753]

I really like your videos. Great Details and explanations.

[@tezzabhoy1888]

Wealth of knowledge and experience. thank you very much!

[@steinhoffdj]

Man your content is phenomenal

[@gr3ktbad281]

Legitimately like all the content you put out! Can’t forget about the ole squerbel!

[@DarthVader-td2uh]

Great video totally agree.

[@jasonfreeman4753]

Another great vid my man.

[@jfishman9710]

Another great video! 🎣

[@dougshelton7656]

I always enjoy your videos. Try my best to watch all of them.

[@juniorstandafer5279]

Love the content! I would have to agree with you on your top 3! That’s what I go to as well!

[@stevesmith7164]

Good vid Debo, thanks.

[@jeapers23]

Two thumbs up! Love the videos. Keep up the great work! Definitely helps me try different techniques. Thanks.

[@nathanhoveyaquatics]

I 100% agree with everything you said in this video. I mostly fish a lake that's close to the house that was an old rock quarry. The ChatterBait does really good against the bank line with all of the jagged rocks and boulders. As soon as I started banging it off of the rocks on the bank line I started catching bass. 🎣🇺🇸🎣

[@BrownBaitCo]

that SPRO Bronzeye Frog in the color Freak is great!

[@HappyKatsFishing]

My favorite videos.. DEBO you rock! Please keep doing what you do.

[@krispy521]

I love it bro. Keep it up. I've learned so much from you since I really got into finishing in April this year.

[@garrettmccoy6863]

Great video; excellent choices! This video knocked it out of the park! Keep it up!

[@seizedcarcass8440]

The 6th sense clout is a really solid worm. I love the nirvana color they have and cinnamon crave is becoming a favorite. Only thing is they are some soft worms but they aren’t too expensive and work great!

[@tylervarnell5584]

Hey Debo could you post a video of a full reel cleaning of that Curado 200e7. I have 2 and want to know how to clean them. Thanks for the feeeshin tips 🎣👍🏻

[@bobbymiracle484]

Agree great lure selection

[@christopherdoyle6965]

Good video Debo! Just starting out it gets overwhelming sometimes very informative you’ve helped me out.

[@gregjohnson6799]

New subscriber. I watched a few videos now. I appreciate your content.

[@stevethompson3365]

Thanks for the tips & breaking down which setups you are using with what. Helps alot.

[@shawnbeck2303]

Whopper Plopper, Chatterbait, Texas rigged wrinkle tail Red Shad 8 inch with two plastic beads and bullet weight 1/4 oz, Storm Arashi in Parrot color size 5 and a KVD double willow spinnerbait in white and silver skirt. My favorite reel is the Quantum Smoke S3 Baitcaster in 7 to 3 with Suffix 832 30 pd moss green braid. 7 ft Berkley Cherrywood HD MH fast baitcaster rod. Great rod for the money. Shawn.

[@wowza60fps30]

What color chatter bait do you prefer using in dark water

[@terryclowers4433]

As always another great video

[@chrismcvey908]

Great video brother Debo. I think I really need to look into those missile baits

[@DanimalTheA]

Debo, I like this type of video a lot. It is so helpful to get an idea of baits/rigs to use, for the season, along with insruction on how to fish them. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with all the possibilities so it's nice to get a short suggestion list too.

[@clmwrx]

Thabks for the slack line wacky rig trick. I been hooked on ned rig and havent thrown much wacky lately

[@marvinprado1700]

Great video!! Ive never had success with a frog but I love all the lures on this list!

[@williamsolly870]

Hey brother- Great vid as always and your timing is perfect! Going camping/fishing with the Scouts in two days and will be telling them to watch this vid for prep!

[@alford79]

Thank you sir for the videos.

[@dyingslowly666]

i may need to look into weedless bladed jigs. i love your gear breakdown and explaining how to fish lures

[@sjones7400]

Your informative/instructional vids are always top notch👍. My list is much like yours ‘cept for the topwater. Lots of walking baits and poppers are in my arsenal. ✌️

[@steves7345]

I would agree with your list debo but I would have to add 1 lure top 6 lol just because I know it works for the more shallow rivers and streams near me the rebel craw any size any color 👍

[@MaineStreamFishing]

KZbin wants me to watch this again!!! Its been suggested under every video for weeks

[@josephloretijr]

Good stuff Debo. Definitely love throwing a buzz bait. My favorite one is the cavitron by mega strike.

[@willjunkin732]

I definitely agree with all those lures for summer time fishing.

[@alanwilliams5829]

Crushed it ! Great video debo

[@shannonsullivan2638]

Thanks for the tips, your garage looks like mine a mix of what I want and family needs

[@aristidescastillo8089]

I love watching your videos you explain everything so well that any body can memorize most of what you show us I know I learn a little something o. Every video I watch di yeah keep the wonderful job and keep having fun fishing

[@timtweet8149]

Great choices! Very useful rigs and choices. Just go fresh and get r done.

[@juli82E]

Another great vid!

[@1of437]

Awesome tips on the buzz bait. I’m still trying to catch my first buzz bait fish.

[@OscarHernandez-lu1ze]

Yo DEBO! Red crank bait rattle trap👊😎🌅🤘☀️ AWSOME VIDS 💯💯💯

[@davewashburn8930]

Great list & great info as usual Debo. If I could add on lure it would be a square bill.

[@twiggsherman3641]

100% wacky rig. Love the neko hooks for it as well. Try grabbing yourself some silicone tubing from amazon, cutting it in to bands, and use your needle nose to stretch it open, then slip over your senko. Has much more surface to distribute the pressure, as even with orings they'll cut through the senko. I just run the hook through the middle, through the silicone tubing, and can go an hour on the same senko.

[@sycamore6065]

Thanks Debo, liked all your picks, my favorite of those is the Texas rig, also I use a Slugo, internally weighted set weedless. Can use it anywhere.

[@SergioMartinez-zh9dm]

Favorite fishing KZbinr for sure 👍

[@lanceluftman2738]

Great video! Your suggestion on keeping the rod tip up on buzz baits is spot on! Missed a bunch of bass by not doing that! Go Hawkeyes!

[@raultovar6185]

Thanks for letting us know how to fish this different lures… sometimes I have Trouble with the speed

[@michaelstake7440]

Love the new okuma Serrano top water rod for chatter baits and lighter spinner bait

[@byakubik]

Really enjoy the content :)

[@jamesdishman3359]

Dig’n it coming from a fellow bait maker would love to see,well you know how it goes yeah I know you want to make them or fish them? I’m hip!!! Keep making videos and I’ll keep watching!!!

[@larryhead5621]

Excellent descriptions of your choices, techniques, tackle and reasoning, Debo. As a bank beater I appreciate your take on things. Larry H - SW Indiana

[@84neilbone]

I love the big bite fighting frog. I got a 25 count in Okeechobee. Definitely need to get green pumpkin tho.

[@sethcrowell4165]

I landed my first frog fish for the year today! I really like the thinner profile and hooks on the vega frog walks real easy.

[@rgdayo]

I was just throwing a fluke trailer on a chatter bait the other day so good to know I was on the right track

[@joshpenfold1023]

I like your selection Debo........I might have to switch out the buzz bait for a whopper plopper (just personal preference)....but all in all good solid 5 picks.....thanks aging for another great video.

[@justink2615]

I also bought the 5.4 Clout and the same color! I'm really excited to use it. Not sure if it would be great on just a wacky rig or if I should try it on a Texas Rig. Another banger from you Debo, love ya man!!

[@chadgaston2087]

This video helped me a lot I caught my PB yesterday

[@clyderussell6005]

Good choices for sure i also like to throw a jitterbug.

[@1gamedaily815]

From Idaho, your videos are the most applicable to my waters that I’ve found. Plus I’m a bank fisherman only ;) bank gang!

[@brianlee9074]

Such a great video Debo. My top 5, no particular order, drop shot - crank bait - frog - soft jerk bait - spinner bait, yeah that works in the summer time too!! 🎣👍

[@leannesmith3660]

Can't argue with any of these. Home run!!
