Amazing. You're one of the reasons I'm so passionate about fishing today. I can confidently say I would not be the angler I am today in the absence of your influence. Thanks Ike!

[@randomheroat420]

I couldn't have said it any better

[@calebeverett9850]

You’re one of the most passionate fisherman I’ve ever watched

[@swimbaitonaprairie9359]

That smile on your face explaining this technique.. is all I need to convince me it’s legit. Thanks Mike

[@lukegarcia684]

Ike, I don't want to give away this secret but you leave me with no choice. You're extremely informative and very unique in your video presentations. Now the world knows it. I've learned a lot from you, thanks.

[@robertchadwick1552]

I can't wait for the ice to melt to try this in my local water. You're a good person to share these tips. I can't compete with you, I just want to catch fish instead of getting skunked. Thanks!

[@tomboybaits4905]

Thank you for the tips! I suffered thru the ads and made it to the end of the video….. it’s been frigid here and some of the small places I fish still have a thin layer of ice lol but that’s not stopping me from fishin….. ppl say I’m crazy …. I say “I fish to keep from going crazy” lol

[@jamesbourlard7892]

I have used these all year round.they are a great bait where I live.I have used them in a jerk bait style. Fun to use in high pressure areas

[@shawndulany4287]

Thanks bro for the tip man I’m from pa so I fish cold water a lot lol. Can’t wait to try this and see how it works.

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

Anytime!! Give it a shot!

[@davehaag8175]

New to fishing again in life and new to your channel… this was some of the best and most thorough info I’ve gotten..thank you for this!!!

[@ak99]

Mike . I went out today in Northern Indiana with the jerk bait tip and caught a nice bass! Thank you!

[@danlettner5026]

I love your shop talk! Keep bringing this great content!

[@jansenodineal4172]

Used these last year in my river system off the kayak. Depths typically aren't over 4 ft deep and water temps are much cooler so needless to say they did very well.

[@0013619511]

Mike has the most passion of anyone on tour !!

[@kurtplank9772]

Super informative video. I think there was more tips and modifications in this one then in the last ten on you tube. Thanks

[@sonofslam4336]

Thanks for the "Never give up!!!" video! To this day, that video touches my heart. Never give up!

[@mikecamalier2653]

I like the way you used the rag to put the line on reel great tips bassmd

[@charleshardcore215]

I live in cold mi and just wanted to say thankyou sooo much for your great content these techniques really work in 40s water. So good luck to you this year you rock Mr 💪💪💪💪💪

[@jerrylanglois7892]

Amazing how the pros figure out the nuances.

[@richardallen8465]

Shad rap number 5 is what I’m catching them on because the small one is suspending, great tips Ike I’m going to try them

[@dannyhocutt8490]

I’m so glad to be able to get your experience along with so many other s to!!!!!!!!

[@jimlewis5100]

Thanks Mike , I'm almost 70 years old and I have learned a lot from various videos and fished most of my life . This video was amazing ! The key for me was the different way of retrieving . Thanks again Mike ,great video

[@robinbrown5949]

Awesome video Mike! Can't wait to put this technique to work! Love your instructional videos!

[@juliozemor8543]

Fantastic Ike, thanks for sharing your techniques with Brazilian fishermen

[@dustingross1535]

Thank you for sharing these tips! Some of these things I would never have thought of! There's a reason guys like you are pros and guys like me are learning from ya. Keep it up! After Christmas I am so getting me a few of these. I'm already killing on jerkbaits but I imagine this will be a huge help! Really using my spinning rods more now after videos like this 👍🏻 Edit: holy crap! I found one of these 2 years ago and put it away in my projects box. Was just looking through it after watching this and discovered what I found! Getting the gear for modifications today so I can try this puppy out 🤙🏻

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

Heck yeah!!! Never give up never stop fishing

[@dustingross1535]

@@mikeiaconellifishing don't plan to stop anytime soon !

[@wonkadagr8]

Mike your the best man thanks again. I passed on this bait for a few years now. I never thought about the minor adjustment. Thanks again Ike for these sweet tips.

[@kerrypitt9789]

Mike this is very helpful. I appreciate you sharing this. Fly shops carry lead free wire if that interests you.

[@scotthooten5967]

Going to the store tomorrow to pick a few of these up to give this a try. It is cold here in Indiana.

[@mattthomen1608]

I've used these off the side of the boat trolling and done well! Amazing fish catching baits. GO Ike!

[@rblacker7]

Good lord I had to save this one. Thanks .Mike! !Your channel is my little fishing secret...🎣 Alright I'll let my friends know...maybe. 😎

[@melvinmariott8609]

That is what I was doing out there today. An was killing them out there on the water today. I think the water temperature was around 40 degrees or a little warmer

[@superman9879]

That was great info! One thing you might add is the importance of boat control too. The boat cannot be moving your line. Cannot! You can’t let the bait sit and suspend if the boat is dragging your line. Thanks Ike!

[@leecollie9189]

I like that scrubbing technique. When I'm fishing grass with hard bait jerk baits but lifting the rod up. Very deadly way to pull bass out the grass. Also nose rigging a 4in slug-go or a (solid body) fluke not split belly. The action is like watching a live minnows on the hook. When trying to swim but sinking from the hook weight. Mike you are the man I appreciate what you do and tell and show us. Like to see you come fish Carvins cove again now you got your tiny boat.

[@TomMendoladrums]

So much great information. Thank you. I am subscribing!

[@wrightjaw]

Awesome info, I use that bait for Walleye

[@BWOUTDOORS]

YES WE LIKED THIS GOOD VIDEO IKE, LIKE YOUR TIPS.

[@williamjohnson2698]

Thank you my man! Excellent info & truly appreciated

[@EverydayLocal]

Mike you are the best! Thank you for all the pro tips. Can’t wait to try this technique this weekend. Hurry back out to San Diego again. Let’s go on a tuna charter!!

[@curtisbell6233]

Loved it Mike and The Zona show was insanely great. You don’t need Abbott and Costello, Z and Ike is it!

[@Steve_643]

I can see from watching this tutorial why he’s such a good fisherman

[@michaelangelo6947]

Thanks Mike; enjoyed your video very much. I'm waiting to be healed from rotator cuff surgery, so I can fish again by spring.

[@terrytresemer2864]

Mike....If your ever on glassy water, try a 5-6'' Rapala minnow, scrubing motion, long cast. Had fish take it right on the surface. Thought it was my secret. Here in Ohio. Your neighbor, TT

[@LuisGutierrez-fs9tk]

I used last week here in chihuahua Mx and I caught a few fish, I need to work more in the technic but is great thanks Mike!!!

[@carsondunn6548]

My great grandfather and I use the shallow shad rap all the time. They are a killer for ANY fish in ANY condition! I believe that the shallow shad rap is one of the best lures in the world.

[@jbsed1]

Thanks, Ike! Ultimate breakdown very well explained and very helpful 👏👍

[@sergioramirez3328]

Thank you brother for sharing these awesome tips be safe out there and keep on fishing

[@travisbruno1988]

Mike i went out 4 days ago and used a purple flicker shad with yellow spots on tail 2 1/2" and 2nd cast i caught a nice bass and then again and again i never used that bait before but it is an amazing winter bait

[@mikefurness1598]

Man you just cost me some money! Once I get done with this covid and get back to work I'm gonna buy some of those at the shop and set them up properly. I love the scrubbing routine!

[@tedsell1455]

Much to learn here !

[@pondparadisedesignsinc.rob5313]

I just bought three versions looking forward to trying them out thank you Mike! 🎣👍👏

[@SpookyRedz]

Thank you so much too we really appreciate it all , the mr.Mike juice

[@leecanady6749]

Excellent footage and very very informative!

[@scottkessler9602]

You could also get beefier split rings for the hooks to add more weight, and quite frankly, if you are able to open the split rings with your fingers, you probably should.

[@jdean1851]

Beeen fishin SSR'S 4 eVER!!!! AWESOME BAIT! AWESOME TIPS! THANKS!

[@titoparedes6839]

Ikester....Love you bro! Listen to the hommie

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

LOVE YOU TITO!

[@bayouburner281]

The shallow x rap shad(Hard plastic w/Weight transfer) is a killer too

[@michaelleady9089]

True story this works i’ve been doing it for over 40 years and I still do it today

[@joee681]

Thanks Mike, have used the shad raps every since I was a child, but didn’t like the way the funny lip one looked, but have killed them on the #7 especially, guess I’ve been missing out, but not any More ! 👍👍

[@quags7744]

Bro, come down to pymatuming and show us how it’s done the walleye are coming in soon.

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

This is my favorite winter bait. With some upsized short shank hooks I can get it to sloooowwwwllly sink and it slays them

[@perrymatherne9264]

How are you Mike, Perry matherne from galliano,la, congratulations on your 2003 classic victory where me and my family went to,Just saw your video on the shallow shad rap,so with that said time to go & throw my shallow shad rap in black and gold tipped with a red feathered treble.

[@mikewallis8999]

Love the scrubbing info

[@markdavis394]

Awesome tips. Always good videos man! Thanks.

[@brockabeekb1894]

Woah...nice tips man. Love it! I listened to a pretty good explanation of why this one guy just fishes straight flouro. I know the brad/flouro is most common, but have you always liked that better/had better luck with I guess? Great job, keep em comin thx

[@mattmiller7447]

Thank you I love a shad rap!!!!

[@garyfoster8775]

Hey Mike I live in California and we have a Lake here that gets stocked every 2 weeks. The trout are smart.

[@Grumpy1Fishing]

They work well on Brown Trout on the White River too!

[@thomasstanton7381]

Please do a video on how you spin those on and off so quick 😅🤷🏻‍♂️

[@alex_darsen]

I have a few of these in the box and this info gives me a new look at them, so thanks. One question though: won’t the snap or split ring kill the tight wobble and make the wobble wider?

[@darrenhall7990]

Being in California, I use 4lb floro on a spin cast. They set themselves. Backreel if necessary. This light line gets these baits deep. I know some in California know what I'm talking about.

[@fidelhernandez7843]

They have to come up and eat it yes! I like that thanks, how do you sharpen the treble hooks? Blessings for your career and family.

[@hhhhhhhfjjrjrjrjrirh148]

Its may rn lol its 40 degrees outside I LIVE IN MISSISSIPPI

[@shadybanks8625]

You mentioned the big Super Shallow Shad Rap but it’s not just a musky bait. If there are gizzard shad in your lake give it a try every time you are on a good bite. It will pay off big time. Every year some of my biggest bass of the year are caught on it and I have never seen anyone else use it.

[@michaellong2656]

IKE, is that a Coleman Crawdad boat next to you? That was my first boat as a kid. Do you have a video of the upgrades and setup on it? Merry Christmas!

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

Sure is!

[@SpookyRedz]

Loved this one

[@SpinfisherBob-Kayak-Fishing]

Can't believe you gave this up to youtube. :)

[@genecampbell7084]

The best lake to fish now is guntersville lake . It has took over chickamauga this year loads of bass huge bigger than chickamauga bass

[@Childofthegray]

Off to Cabelas I go I need some shallow Shad raps

[@DrGargani]

as the saying goes: The Devil is in the Details.....you not only break it down to each possible part and component, but you also give the logic and concept behind WHY you do these things.....So , what separates your videos from so many of the others, is that you don't insult our intelligence, but rather, you groom it.....thank you!

[@SpookyRedz]

Wow the scrubbing

[@rustyclam238]

Are used to be a commercial fisherman in South Florida and I always tell these young anglers to spit on their bait.

[@juliusjames5577]

I like Ike!

[@ironworkerjoewilliams1544]

Do you like swivels on your hooks ?

[@tomguertin7713]

Good stuff Mike ! Thanks...

[@jerometorrez8789]

Man can you fish broski. You gave that up for us and everyone should sub to the main man.

[@billreed3785]

Great Video. Do not use auto focus for video, you are not moving around a lot... close down your aperture a bit for a deeper depth of field so your hands will be in focus when you bring them up... use a non-variable aperture lens so when you zoom in it does not change the light entering the lens. If the smaller aperture makes it too dark, get more light or crank up the ISO a bit.

[@nickrogers6945]

Thanks for the advice man. When you add the feathered tail on it do you keep the treble hooks the same as original or do you go up a size the same as you do when just changing the trebles.

[@markregina1844]

I tried this mod on a #7 Shallow Shad Rap. Upgraded to #4 hooks and added a split ring and a snap and it still rises too fast I feel. Had to put on 2 suspend strips to help slow it a little, but still seems too fast of a rise to me. Am I doing anything wrong?

[@0013619511]

great job

[@darrenhall7990]

Mike, tell them how you can use an 1/8 inch drill bit to drill out a space for lead from a Lee lead pot. Am I giving away to much?? Lol

[@fidelhernandez7843]

Nice hat

[@bassfever4234]

Great video Mike thanks

[@waterdog3978]

I wish they would put the correct hook on expensive lures at the factory

[@ronrother]

Cool! Thanks Mike.

[@ricksonora6656]

I’d pay for content like this if I had the money. It all goes back to seasonal behaviors, doesn’t it? One topic I haven’t seen yet is, what species to fish for given conditions. Like, “For this terrain and weather, try for Kokanee / crappie / catfish instead of bass.” Call it Skunk Avoidance methods.

[@SenorPussface]

It seems like almost everyone changes out hooks/o-rings etc.. is it just cost that keeps manufacturers from just using the stuff you guys want on the baits out of the box..? Or is it just trying to do something thats just a little different from the anglers perspective

[@danthefisherman4793]

Nice Tips (M)Ike… TYVM! You still Have Ice Down their? I am in the Mantua Area looking to get out early Next Week and hoping not to waste time...

[@ata1421]

Nice 👍🏻

[@iancrosby6158]

how can i find my hook size

[@JoeTayMetal]

Appreciate you brother.

[@michaelcowell773]

What size snap should I use?
