Hi Leo! Thanks for the video. My daughter and I watch your videos together and enjoy them. We miss your signature fun intros!

[@keshakush1122]

I love that you say ladies & gentleman. So many fishing channels seem to believe only guys watch these videos. First time on your channel and I will definitely be back!

[@jessesherlock1204]

It’s so awesome to see new Eurotackle products. As soon as I saw the video drop, I ordered a few of the kits to try out.

[@tomfisher2103]

Good to see you out there grinding brother! Tight lines as always man!🐟🐟🐟🐟

[@thundarpheeshy]

Thank you Ben for finally letting us see this video

[@extremephillyfishing]

😂🤣

[@crosscountrybankangler]

I like the concept for those jigs

[@davidnewby7146]

Probably the Rusty Crayfish. Not bad eating by themselves. I get tons out of the Susquehanna every summer

[@spideymcgee4718]

I get them at my favorite lake not far from Limerick, Greenlane. The spillway leads into a creek I forget the name of. They are invasive and we should should be using them as bait and food for ourselves. They are delicious.

[@spideymcgee4718]

I commented this before he saw the sign lol

[@SquatchMan123]

Glad you Are back to KZbin fishing. I love your excitement and attention to detail. Thanks again.

[@cottoncandykayak]

Thanks for the video Leo, loved it and the sound was fine. I just ordered several different weights of the switch and one kit. I can’t wait to get them.

[@thetroutslayer]

Love your videos Leo, Can't stop watching, The EPF swim is now my favorite mini swim bait!!! Can't wait to get my hands on some of the wonderbread colored EPF swims when they come out!!!

[@Bmuth712]

Always learning something new thanks Leo!

Thanx nice fishing but to me nothing beats the Rapala jointed baits...just awesome

[@chrisbrown8748]

This video is just like your fishing livestreams and I’m not even mad🙌🏽

[@mtac.JesusisKing]

I love that spillway very chill to fish in

[@financeandfish]

babe wake up epf just posted!!!

[@trevorjohnson8993]

Glad you were able to improvise. I was cracking up when you were doing your micky mouse voice and it was echoing across the spillway 😂. The new jigs looks cool. I need to try some euro tackle stuff

[@Andres-vy2sf]

Nice to see you Leo.

[@darter216]

Always enjoy and learn from your videos

[@romik2007a]

I'm Russian I know what a cheburashka is. But I never seen this rig. Thanks to you I just spent 40$ getting some from Poland. I would buy euro tackle but they don't have the weights in colors.

[@josecruz021]

Yeah I order mine from Japan , cheb rigs, basically just weights with a clip in them.

[@snakeeyes9246]

Saw my first Osprey, AKA, the Fish Hawk, of 2024 today. Good to see them back.

[@kgraham64kg]

😮😮😮 those rigs are dope! Definitely copping those!

[@ACLASSGAMER56]

Love to see the vids brother! Gonna try to make it to Mohegan this weekend as I’m from and live in northern ct!

Amazing, you have great energy when fishing!

Great tip on the Snags. I wish i knew this when i started. Wouldve saved me a lot of money LOL

Nice bro. We found some holes down that creek loaded with perch...nothing big but lots of em

Hey! Your fav spot is in my backyard. Hope I get to meet you some day. Happy fishing!!!

[@TimGalati]

I love a good spillway. Nice work bro.

[@nickna694]

Any video is better then no video. I've got some Swing Jigs in my tackle box, great weights to have around can use them for drop shot weight if your in a pinch.

[@Coastalfishes]

OG spot, and audio sounds fine

[@Fishpunch]

I love cheb rigs. I was using them a lot last year with micro weedless hooks

[@markdiaz4203]

Love the vids 💯💯💯💯

In EU îs the go to rig for Zander and Perch I use it all the time and is very efective

Those kits look great, I just ordered a couple, and used the EPF code to get my discount. Watershed here opens 4/15, almost there.

how have I not seen you yet. I have fished alot of the same spots. You have ran into a friend of mine years ago. One of these days ill see you out there

[@StevenVegter_Fishing]

Very nice

Finally a fishing video

[@extremephillyfishing]

Last video on the channel has fishing too, brooooski.

[@jamestboehm6450]

You really should check out Cast Cray baits. An all American bait company. 29 different small baits 64 different colors. Baits made in America.

[@extremephillyfishing]

I just checked them out online. I appreciate the suggestion. I will stick to the Eurotackle soft plastics, though.

[@gregwright5343]

Another technique for snags is to not use the rod at all, put the loose line in your hand then use your hand to shake up to the tension.

[@chitown_vlogger8928]

philly getting snagged: be calm like a gentle breeze me getting snagged: yank fast and hard include curse words lol 😅

[@l.i.archer5379]

Audio is actually pretty good.

[@spideymcgee4718]

Just ordered some EPF grubs for crappie season. Thank you for the amazing products.

[@josecruz021]

Isn't crappie season the fall? Or you mean the spawn

[@spideymcgee4718]

@@josecruz021 I guess it’s the spawn? I have a few spots I get them in the spring but haven’t had success in the fall yet. I’m here near EPF outside of Philly.

[@StevenNMedia]

Oh I love this spot, once I saw the thumbnail I knew this video is going to be a banger! Invasive crayfish? That's funny, in Germany actually almost all crayfish are invasive, mostly pacifastacus leniusculus and faxonius limosus. They're carrying a disease which they are immune to but the local astacus astacus are dying to it. Do you know which species is the invasive one in the core creek? I've been using the cheburashka a lot over the past few years, mainly paired with a crayfish imitate for some juicy perca fluviatilis and sander lucioperca. Haven't tried it for smaller lures though, might give it a try.

[@extremephillyfishing]

Yes. The invasive crawfish around there is the Rusty Crawfish.

[@StevenNMedia]

@@extremephillyfishing it's kind of funny that a species that is native to the US can still be invasive. Of course it does make sense considering the size of the US.

[@gcrauwels941]

Hey brother, ever see a Macrobrachium carcinus? I used to catch some big ones in SoFla. The new tech with the weights/lures is cool.

[@extremephillyfishing]

There is one of my videos that I am fishing the C-14 Canal down in Florida - the one where I catch my Lifer Spinycheek Sleeper. In that video, I ALMOST caught something that looked like that - big shrimp type thingy with big claws.

[@gcrauwels941]

@@extremephillyfishing They're pretty big. Had a small one in my 120 gallon fishtank. Mega aggressive to anything near it's home. Will check that out thanks.

Imagine fishing with this guy and you just wanna fish in quiet. 😌

[@beastman2513]

You didnt hook it together right. Youre supposed to drop the ball and then stab yourself under the fingernail with the hook while putting it together. 😅

[@masonhartz715]

Hey Leo, love the videos of your ever in the Virginia area let me know own a piece of property that’s perfect with a microlight huge bluegill and crappie paired with excellent largemouth fishing

[@KEZFishing]

You need to come to GA brother I’ll host ya

[@vlcheish]

shame this area is now polluted and they stopped stocking trout in the main lake

[@jasonyang5296]

What are the pros of using that set up compared to a regular jighead setup?

[@jasonyang5296]

Nvm, I should really pay attention to the video🥲😂😂

[@AREDITS77]

Leo you using a insta360 camera? I use the x3 the footage looks similar to how mine looks

[@sockgoblinamazingwtf6511]

Leo, i have a question you mightvhave a answer for, i am new to light and ultralight fishing ,any advice on fighting big fish on light gear? I'm going on a beach fishing trip and was thinking of taking my light rod with me to lure fish, i mainly predict that i am going to catch blacktail (Diplodus capensis) but they fight like huge fish (usually around 20-30cm in size)

[@extremephillyfishing]

Definitely make sure that you have the right pound test for your line. That's my best advice for you. I usually catch Diplodus down in Florida on 4-6 lbs test line - some of them up to 12 oz.

[@sockgoblinamazingwtf6511]

@extremephillyfishing im in south africa, i usually catch them on my heavy bait rods as a by catch, its not what im targeting but my prediction is that is what will bite, im actually targeting bluefish (we call them shad or Ulf [pronounced elf] here)

[@sockgoblinamazingwtf6511]

@extremephillyfishing but thanks for the recommendation, i am planning on putting new line on my reel tomorrow

[@leepao6302]

you're the first person i saw fish that rig with a floater, normally it meant to fish on the bottom

[@josecruz021]

Yep it's a bottom lure kinda pointless to use a float

[@extremephillyfishing]

I am a versatile dude. If the fish is in the middle of the water column and lethargic on top of it, I would rather work it awkwardly and catch fish than not catching. Lol. But that's just me. It is like Zoom Flukes for me as well - I can use them on a jig, mid water to bottom, or, if I see a Snakehead laying around cover, I just switch up and "walk the dog" with it on a single hook.

[@josecruz021]

@@extremephillyfishing hell yeah making everything work 😂

[@williammayo2630]

How’s the carp fishing there?

[@extremephillyfishing]

I never caught a Common Carp bigger than 4 pounds under the spillway, but the main Lake Luxembourg has some BIG CARP in it.

[@chrisstengel7096]

Hey Leo! Did you hear PA BFC cancelled all 2024 trout stockings in the Delaware Canal? If you did, did you hear any reason why? I know that's one of your favorite spots to hit for your videos.

[@lavaalert6923]

You should buy the tatula xt ultralight or light

[@extremephillyfishing]

I may be biased, but my signature ultra-light rod is my favorite. Haha. I do appreciate the suggestion.

[@lavaalert6923]

@@extremephillyfishing maybe you designed it that way eh

[@lurekayaklrf]

Just got the email about these from Eurotackle. They’re called ‘Cheb’s’ everywhere else in the world I’m interested as to why they’ve decided to brand them ‘switch rigs’ when they already have a well established name.

[@extremephillyfishing]

My guess? To introduce this style of rigging to the American people, Ben chose a smart marketing strategy so that folks can be more open-minded. After all, a lot of people in this country are not big fans of Russia - where the Cheburashka originated from.
