Hookup Baits Tutorials - Bass Retrieve

[@StephenTalksTV]

This intro had some finding Nemo vibes

[@TEHExoticWoods]

I really want to try these off an SUP or surfboard just past the surf line. What weight would you recommend for that? I’m assuming similar technique? Thanks! (Caught my first halibut on a 5/8 last week in an inlet. Way too heavy but the fish didn’t care. Got some 1/4 now, can’t wait to try them!

[@HookupBaits]

There's a few guys that do that and they love our baits for it. The 3/8 would be the best size to throw.

[@TEHExoticWoods]

@@HookupBaits thanks, Will Pick some up!

[@totalaircontrol5886]

Awesome video! How’s the fishing in January? And what should I target ?

[@HookupBaits]

Saltwater bass fishing in both the bays and outside on deep structure is good year round.

[@tkfam539]

You covered everything and I know it might seem like a dumb question but how come nobody ever keeps the legal bass u catch?

[@jordansollitto6171]

TK fam5 it's just a fish which has a slow growing population so its always better to let them go if u can/want to

[@tkfam539]

@@jordansollitto6171 oh I see thanks for the response bro was just curious I'm new to fishing

[@jordansollitto6171]

no problem. good luck fishing.

[@HookupBaits]

14 inch or bigger is legal to keep. We choose to never keep any bass. They are purely for sport and tourment fishing for us . Thanks

[@curtiswilson1526]

Do you like doing the double hookup rig for calico like you do deep rock cod fishing? Can that be fished on top of water column?

[@HookupBaits]

Definitely can be very affective for bass. We used the double all the the for bass. Not recommended for top water fish like yellow tail and tuna

[@curtiswilson1526]

@@HookupBaits Thanks! What would you recomend for Local 1/2 day boat calico/bonito fishing? Two 3/8 or two 5/8? Or should I go heavier

[@HookupBaits]

@@curtiswilson1526 for bass i like 2 5/8. Try 2, 3/8 if the fish are suspended. I dont recommend the double for Bonito. 1 5/8 is what you want for them. They love the mint one.

Can you comment the setup (rod and reel) you used in the video

[@erikberndes5343]

Dropper loop work in the bay?

[@HookupBaits]

Dropper loop would work but you will be taking most of the magic out of the baits because you won't have the same sink

[@jeancarlogutierrez3442]

Nice video can you use hook up baits for a double dropper loop for bottom fishing

[@nicolacko8507]

Soo good great bait. Can you please do how to fish for spotted bay bass (spotties).

[@HookupBaits]

For spotties its exactly the same. As explained in the video. 👍

[@nicolacko8507]

@@HookupBaits, this has been working... except when there has been no current in the water. What do I do then? Otherwise, it works soooo well.

[@HookupBaits]

@@nicolacko8507 when there's no. Current in the bay the entire bite slows. All you can do in that situation is down size and more finesse. Same technique tho

[@Spiketype]

What size is used in the video

[@HookupBaits]

1 0z mint

[@Static_MK3Focus]

Huh... interesting. I drop straight down and wind back up real fast if I don’t get bit. Then I just drop down

[@HookupBaits]

There's no wrong way to fish a HUB. just get it in the strike zone

[@Static_MK3Focus]

Hookup Baits yeah I was out at hermosa today and I killed those sand bass! I had one that was 7 pounds and I caught a legal halibut!!! I’m telling you guys your baits work so well!!!
