Fall Fishing With a Lipless Crankbait - More $15 Baitcaster Bass

I have the $15 Baitcaster out for more Fall Bass Fishing. A lipless crankbait in a shad pattern is what I am throwing today. As fall tries to set in, the bass in my lake will start looking for shad to feed on. As the shad come more and more shallow, I have a chance at catching those feeding bass. The Red Eyed Shad I am using has no rattle. It is a silent lipless crankbait. If you have open water where you suspect bass are feeding on shad, try it. I manage to catch 5 bass at a couple different fishing spots. That makes 10 bass on the $15 baitcast reel so far. For trying different lures, just to get a feel for them and maybe catch a few bass, it's a great learning opportunity at $15 dollars.

[@BEARDedOutdoors]

Great video! I'm sure some people don't understand that picking 1 single lure or type of bait to use in a video and to catch 5 bass with it on video is not always an easy feat!

[@RealisticFishing]

Persistence! 👊

[@BEARDedOutdoors]

Committication! 👊

[@RealisticFishing]

Enthusiasticism! 👊

[@3eighteenoutdoors85]

You're probably the most patient fisherman I've ever seen, even though you caught 5 and that's an awesome day, I would have changed baits 9000 times. Keep doing what you do bro! Your videos are awesome.

[@salemi771]

Beautiful !! Simple fishing ,no antics no sponsor bias no trust fund baby unboxings. Just you and nature and your 15.00 baicaster!!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks exactly right! 👍

[@BEARDedOutdoors]

No bullshit! I picked up a handful of lipless crankbaits on the clearance rack at Walmart a few weeks ago!

[@RealisticFishing]

Nice! 😲

[@lancehoward1802]

Same here!

[@BEARDedOutdoors]

Lance Howard - yep! pretty sure that is what they were.

[@lancehoward1802]

Lol yeah been hitting them up myself, different colors.

[@RealisticFishing]

I have caught bass on them (CC) before. They are nice, especially on clearance!

[@134rwa]

I am very pleasantly surprised that $15.00 baitcaster is holding up so well. I'm looking forward to using lipless, and other crankbaits, but presently, all my fishing holes are well covered with types of grass, weeds, and pads. So I'm still enjoying frogging, worming, and Texas rigging creature baits. I'll get back to crankbaits when the grass, weeds and pads die off, and before they grow to the water surface. Keep up the Realistic Fishing, catching smaller ones makes one really appreciate an occasional big one, especially shore bound anglers.

[@RealisticFishing]

I am happy to catch anything 👍😂

[@lukelueder6887]

hey man just subbed, like the casual fishing vids and i also notice you like switching up the baits for your videos, since it is now fall i recommend you should try the NED rig! Get some Ned rig baits with a jig head, or a 3 inch senko, or you can cut down a 4 inch senko, its a great fall bait and also a very good bait for when the fish are finicky.

[@aaronholbrook7222]

Just goes to show you don’t have to spend a fortune or spend countless hours to enjoy the outdoors. Keep it real! Love your vids!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thats exactly right! 👍

[@ELITETEAMOKC]

2nd one had a nice jump, your working that baitcaster definitely getting it done....I know the beer was extra refreshing that night!👍👍👍👊

[@RealisticFishing]

🍺 cheers!

[@rawrfishing]

Red Eye Shad has been my fav by far! haven't thrown any this season yet, too much algae from the fall transition. maybe later in the season or early spring :)

[@RealisticFishing]

I hope you get a chance soon.

[@EliteBassStickFishing]

One of the best search n destroy baits!!!💯💪👊LETS GO!!! Lovin the flicks keep the content lit!

[@RealisticFishing]

👍👊

[@BobLeach_DarkWolf]

Dude, I love your excitement every time you catch a fish, big fish or small. That's how I feel too. This is quickly becoming a favorite channel. Keep it realistic bro!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Bob!

[@iloveoreos6349]

It amazes me that you have places with bank access to fish like that.Places like that around me are always packed with people 24/7.Keep up good videos.Still waiting for the catch and cook vid . :)

[@RealisticFishing]

I go fishing early in the morning so there aren't that many people out 👍

[@bigmoemedina313]

I have the similar combo (mine is a 2 pc) for the same price and I must say it works fantastic for the price!! all I did was add a little bit of a fluoro leader and is My to go rod for weighed rigs.Thanks for the Video, Keep up the good work! It's Fun to see how I'm not the only one that goes thru the same crap every time we go fishing!! LOL!!

[@RealisticFishing]

Keep it realistic! 👍

[@johnstoffel5885]

I'm just curious what part of the country your in. North, South, East, West or somewhere in the middle. I grew up in Springfield Illinois and your videos remind me of there. I live in the Seattle area now and wish we had small lakes like yours.

[@RealisticFishing]

Tennessee, and I didn't think 22,000 acres was that small 😂

[@brfishing8234]

Cool Vid. Man you are killing it with the $15 baitcaster. Even if it completely falls apart tomorrow you already got your money's worth.

[@RealisticFishing]

I think so too! 👍

[@MrRiboflavin]

My favorite lipless but I prefer the sexy shad color. Might try the 2 tap version sometime, has a unique sound that the fish will hit when then don't want the Rat L Traps. Have you ever tried the palonar knot? I grew up using the improved clinch but switched over a few years ago. Faster to tie and seems to be stronger.

[@RealisticFishing]

I use the palomar for braid.

[@CHUNKYCATSFISHING]

Plain and simply you’re the best KZbin right now my friend

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks EP!

[@DinsmoreOutdoors]

You know what is nuts I just uploaded a video too, and I caught my bass on the exact same bait! same color and every thing. Guess great minds think alike! ; )

[@RealisticFishing]

😂 Its a great time to start throwing em!

[@IntrepidFisherman]

Great work and once again "Last Cast" rule haha... Most cheap reels work pretty good but it is how long they last that is the question. It will be fun to see how long that thing goes for before you have the first major issue with it. Good luck out there.

[@RealisticFishing]

Fishing myth #1 - expensive gear works better

[@papabeepbeep2727]

Looks like you had fun this day. Nice job, I got a lipless crankbait in my LTB box today. Shall have to give it a shot Sunday.

[@RealisticFishing]

Its a good time to try 👍

[@garym2293]

doing better than me been skunked my last 2 saturdays ant 3rd time today gonna go back out tomorrow hope for some>Love Your Vids Cheers!!!

[@RealisticFishing]

Good luck out there Gary 👍

[@fishingwithjesus2274]

I really enjoy you showing us that you don't need to spend a fortune to catch quality bass. Thank you Alex.

[@RealisticFishing]

The fish don't know how much it costs 👍

[@TheCamoKoreanFishingTV]

Not bad, most of my reels are in the $30-60 range. I will never spend no more than $100 on a reel, but will gladly take one if offered.

[@RealisticFishing]

I am gonna work my way up to see if there really is a difference 👍

[@urbanwolf6419]

You my friend is what justifies my time on KZbin. Thanks for the upload of a new to me lure, going to see what my Wally World has tomorrow.

[@RealisticFishing]

The should have something like this. 👍

[@lojofishing]

I've been loving my lipless this time of year, good stuff as usual man

[@RealisticFishing]

Its almost that time 👍

[@JBWAngling]

Trying to lip a bass with trebled hooks in its mouth is kind of like gambling on a fart! You have to be really careful!

[@RealisticFishing]

Yup. It gets a little freaky. Hopefully I don't get hooked. 😆

[@andybates8861]

Thanks for the Vid! I too must fish from the bank, as my wife will not allow me to spend the money on a kayak or boat. Have a beer for me! Keep up the great work!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Andy 👍

[@tevinmiller6643]

This is the first video ive watched of yrs and it wont be the last most of the other KZbinrs who fish only use cheap reels as a joke but u seem like yr doin it cause u kno most people cant afford a 150 reel so props u dat man bro keep it up

[@RealisticFishing]

You got it. 👍

[@mikecha1957]

Man you ain't shittin' that $15.00 reel is kickin' ass...I like it...

[@RealisticFishing]

Me too. Gonna put it through the ringer. 👍

[@phardiman84]

That seemed like a pretty decent reel for the price. You were casting bombs with it. A year later, how has it held up? You still using it?

[@RealisticFishing]

I dont use it as often but it is still in good working order.

[@SoAzFishing]

Awesome video brotha! Those little guys really wanted that lipless! Looks like the reel is working out good as well.

[@RealisticFishing]

So far so good!

[@zachmauch4451]

Another nice video....ever thought about getting a kayak or small boat I think u could do some damage on the Bass!

[@RealisticFishing]

I have a a boat, but there isn't enough time before work to take a boat out.

[@natemiller862]

I live in South Carolina and I'm interested in that $15 baitcaster you have where did you get it from

[@RealisticFishing]

Academy Sports. Its already sold out

[@virginiabassin7176]

Another great video man. Don't know where you are, but if you're ever in Virginia, we need to fish man.

[@RealisticFishing]

TN

[@andybates8861]

Even though they might be small, they still put up a good fight. I would rather catch small all day long than nothing at all!

[@RealisticFishing]

Me too

[@WickedDealer]

5:40 exactly what happened to me yesterday afternoon with a 3-4 pound bass. :(

[@RealisticFishing]

yikes!

[@Snorky47]

I enjoyed that! Never have had great success with lipless baits, I guess I’ll have to give them another chance.

[@RealisticFishing]

Good luck! 👍

[@bose3846]

Good job! You are bold lipless crankbaits are recipes for snagging for me.

[@RealisticFishing]

Me too, I try to stay in open water. 👍

[@backintofishing6716]

Bundle of line, caught a few of those this year, lately not much else. Nice video.

[@RealisticFishing]

Catching line is the worst 😶

[@lucasscott8397]

Favorite youtuber for sure. This shows that fishing doesn't require a lot of money

[@RealisticFishing]

It sure doesn't 👍

[@fishingwithvance]

Lipless and the Baitcaster still getting it done. Not a bad day before the rain came. Fish on!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks FwV, changing it up a bit 👍

[@johndeno1071]

Going thru these older videos is really fun watching how your show has changed to even better.

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks for watching John, I am proud of my humble beginning. 👍

[@mckmh07167]

Gotta love the lipless crankbait. That is one of my go to lures. Good tip on the tag too. Great video

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks FLAC!

[@billdejesus417]

What type and lb test line did you use on the $15 baitcaster? I just purchased one, thanks

[@RealisticFishing]

Cheapie line from walmart 12 lb test

[@dylant4737]

I bet that first bass was hiding underneath the dock, I have luck dropping a small jig or earthworm off the side of docks and landing some fish. Small, but better than nothing. Haven't been out fishing in months, itching to get out again. There's just not a lot of bass fishing places down south with shore access. Got a new truck though, so need to give that thing a spin. I'll probably head up the mountain soon and catch some trout. GOD BLESS me for not wetting my hands before I touch the trout! Those fuckers die so easily, I'm sure you see my comments on your trout videos sticking up for you against the trout saints. "WET YOUR GOD DAMN HANDS" bullshit.

[@RealisticFishing]

Those people just like telling other people what to do. Not one of them can prove that trout die if you don't wet your hands. I can however, find proof that the slime is regenerated over time. 😂

[@dylant4737]

This pond I'm going to is pure proof that trout can live with being mishandled. This small pond is flooded with tourists and kids fishing, all of them use powerbait, spinners, marshmallows, and worms to catch these stocked trout. Kids gut hook them, drop them in the dirt, out of the water for ever, don't wet their hands and lip the fish and THEY LIVE. All the trout in there LIVE after all that shit happening to them. It's pure proof that you can mishandle a trout and it will live just fine. An old wives tale is the only evidence those people have.

[@kdogoutdoors971]

Always like ur vids

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Kyle 👍

[@khristine51]

Man I always hit the like button first, then watch, comment....and continue watching! Keep it realistic! Tight lines always! !!!!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Joe, you know its gonna be good 😀

[@khristine51]

Realistic Fishing always!

[@WILKINSOUTDOORADVENTURES]

We kinda need a part 2 to this video...where it's Texas rigged

[@RealisticFishing]

😂 I can texas rig a lot of baits. This one would be tough

[@WILKINSOUTDOORADVENTURES]

Realistic Fishing I believe in you..keep it "real"istic... stay true to yourself. Lmao

[@lancehoward1802]

Awesome vid man, glad to see your channel is really starting to grow exponentially. Totally well deserved because you keep it...Realistic.

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Lance! I really appreciate my audience! 👍

[@lancehoward1802]

It shows, I try to send people all the time because people like your approach and still learn the key lesson. Don't get so tied up and stressed when the point is to have fun and try new things, regardless if you have watched someone do it before or if you just think it will be worth a shot.

[@haydenheffley3087]

You should do a "what's in my tackle bag" review

[@RealisticFishing]

maybe one of these days 😉

[@KeifersReelPlanetBass]

Taking care of business on the lipless Crank!!!👍

[@RealisticFishing]

A little sumtin 👍

[@littleguyjosephxd9047]

What state was this shot in cause I live in Cali and that looks exactly like the one that's near my house

[@RealisticFishing]

Tennessee!

[@baitnboujee4369]

Dude great video again. Makes me want to use a lipless crank.

[@RealisticFishing]

Watch out for snags 👍

[@kent7525]

Hey alex I read a reply where you called yourself an amateur fisherman, dude you are far from amateur I would say a true pro, plus 7k followers, don't follow or watch amateur advice Good job my man Keep em coming. Ken

[@RealisticFishing]

Hi Ken. I have been seriously trying to catch bass for about a year and a half, or whenever I stared this channel. I am learning, but don't think I am a pro. I appreciate the great comment though. I have come a long way. 👊👍

[@jeraldali924]

Alex, there's alway's plenty of fish in your rain forest!!! TIGHT LINES and SCREAMING DRAGS!!!! : ) !

[@RealisticFishing]

I am hoping some bigger ones come to feed soon 👍

[@thebigjohnshow2210]

Awesome video buddy Keep up the great work 👍🏼

[@RealisticFishing]

👍

[@votiveostrich2058]

Do you ever try droping a senko down the middle of that dock?

[@RealisticFishing]

Its like 1 foot deep in there most of the time. So I don't really fish under there.

[@renatoa9640]

Thanx for another sweet video Realistic!!!

[@RealisticFishing]

YW 👍

[@lisatwitchell403]

Those hooks look large for that lure. Did you change them out?

[@RealisticFishing]

Nope, those are original and they are awesome!

[@TheSplinter69]

that thing gets the bait out there great buy love the vids keep up the good work

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks!

[@natetrout1]

You're like the no bullshit Bob Ross of fishing...

[@RealisticFishing]

Awesome description!

[@cooleyscoral3456]

Great video as usual👍 Keep on keeping it realistic!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Corey 👊

[@jakedeal6508]

Lipless crank and 15$ baitcaster getting it done

[@RealisticFishing]

The possibilities are endless 😀

[@richard3854]

Are there more areas you can access from the shore at this lake? It would be cool to see you fish some new spots at this lake or try some kayak fishing or some sort of fishing from an affordable boat.. Awesome channel by the way.

[@RealisticFishing]

I have 15 places to fish from shore. I fish these spots right now because thats where the fish are. 👍

[@richard3854]

Right on. It's nice you have the spots you fish pretty much to yourself. The lake I normally fish just started renting rods and selling night crawlers. Now I have now choice but to struggle to learn to fish from a kayak because the shore is so crowded.

[@elmamalon7797]

Smart man. Favorite rod and reel combo in its original name brand.

[@RealisticFishing]

👍

[@timzajac]

Great tip on yo yo retrieve. Definitely will try that next time out.

[@RealisticFishing]

I hope it helps 👍

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Good amount of bass on that lipless crankbait!! It did awesome 👌 👏 😎

[@BassGeek]

Good job busting'em on the Redeye shad man.

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks BG! Waiting on the big ones to come shallow again.

[@octaviofuentes7781]

he'll yeah keep it simple and real this is y I follow you

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Octavio

[@warrenmunford]

The sexy shade is my go to lure I keep at least 3 in box at all tme

[@RealisticFishing]

Nice! 👍

[@JamieBakerM]

Yo-yo, column, tag, lip ripping... dropping knowledge.

[@RealisticFishing]

Sharing as I go. 🍺

[@JamieBakerM]

Realistic Fishing sharing is caring.

[@kagnewmp12]

Okay I am knew to your Vids but basically what you are about is showing us that you can catch fish on a rig under $20 and simply don't have to have those $300 reels to bring them in. I have both cheap and expensive. I have caught countless bass on an old Zebco 33 cause that Dang Bass couldn't care less that your not casting a Shimano Carado or a cheap Wal-Mart special. Thanks

[@OldLadyAngler]

One of my favorite lipless crankbaits! Nice video!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks OLA, it was doing its thing! 👍

[@dnacash]

Good job Alex! What is the thought of your lure with no rattle as opposed to rattles

[@RealisticFishing]

I don't really have enough experience to lean one way or the other. 🤔

[@dnacash]

Realistic Fishing it would be a neat comparison to fish them side by side to see which one catches more fish under what conditions

[@jacksonsmith373]

when your lipless is over 1/3 the price of your reel

[@RealisticFishing]

😂 pretty close!

[@dandamanfishing4179]

U got a good eye for budget fishing gear and that baitcaster seems to be producing good find and tight lines brother

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Dan. If it fails, I will still show everyone what happens. 👍

[@luckyboy13]

It's a lot quieter than the Kastking. Cheaper, too. I've got a good feeling about this one. Looking forward to more videos starring you and the new reel.

[@HopskysLounge]

great video. Keep up the great work

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Hop!

[@chrisvelez3823]

I can’t catch bass on crank baits ever! I’ve hooked 2 tilapias while cranking but no bass :( I always catch them on some berkley crawfish, great lure. You should try them out

[@RealisticFishing]

Soft or hardbait crawfish?

[@chrisvelez3823]

Realistic Fishing soft, green pumpkin with blue flake got me a 6-7 lb fish!

[@RealisticFishing]

I have a bunch of videos using soft green craws. One of my favorites 👍

[@chrisvelez3823]

Realistic Fishing definitely an amazing action they have! I’m from the us but am current in mex, there’s a lake called Aguamilpa like 3hrs away with giant bass, caught 17 with the crawfish in like 4-5 hours

[@RalphBarton-fishing]

Love those lures this time of year

[@RealisticFishing]

I am still waiting for it to cool off a bit, but I am glad I tried 👍

[@bglass616]

I actually went out to walmart today to try to find this lure after seeing you fish it.

[@RealisticFishing]

Did you find one?

[@bglass616]

Realistic Fishing not is the shad, but I picked up a couple others

[@clarkfishingco4309]

Once again great video hope you get a p.o box so we could send you some great stuff

[@RealisticFishing]

Workin on it! 👍

[@Trout2TrailOutdoors]

Enjoyed the video as always. That lipless crank worked great!

[@RealisticFishing]

Sure did, I will be throwing more lipless soon. 👍

[@Trout2TrailOutdoors]

looking forward to it!

[@Trout2TrailOutdoors]

Look forward to watching!

[@chefhoward974]

You inspired me to go buy a strike king red eye lip less sexy shad color ...can’t wait to try it out today

[@RealisticFishing]

That was my favorite lure last fall. Its a good one for sure 👍

[@chefhoward974]

Realistic Fishing keep up the good work I was a fan of first state fishing but your content speaks to me !!! Keep it realistic

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Chef, I'll try.

[@James-oj6ck]

I plan to go out in the morning fishing. I'm tempted to get a lip less and give it a try.

[@RealisticFishing]

Just watch out for snags. 👍

[@James-oj6ck]

I will. I think I will start out with a tube jug first.

[@yrguitar1]

Great video. Thanks!

[@RealisticFishing]

👍

[@mythical-6472]

[@RealisticFishing]

I never really watched that show, but thanks.

[@wnyfishergirl]

Great video Realistic!!!!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks!

[@lucasscott8397]

How much does that lure weigh?

[@RealisticFishing]

I think its 1/2 oz

[@BassandCoffee]

Great video. Nice place too

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks BAC!

[@4udis]

How does he use a baitcaster like that

[@RealisticFishing]

[@alexiscarrero8133]

Those lures they always work well

[@RealisticFishing]

I do well on them in the fall especially 👍

[@richardtinsley8176]

Could you do a video on how to properly set up a baitcaster?

[@RealisticFishing]

I quickly went over it in the video before this one.

[@richardtinsley8176]

Realistic Fishing I must have missed it, I'll go back and check it out.... thanks

[@johnw391]

What was the weight of the lure?

[@RealisticFishing]

Not sure, but I think 1/2 oz

Sure will!
