I Tried Fishing Offshore With An ARTIFICIAL OCTOPUS Jig!

[@FatFoxAdventures]

Hey Brandon, you can get replacement bodies. 2 packs for about $7

[@CaptCollier]

Thanks! Just looked them up. Much better than buying the whole setup if you don’t have too

[@danieldavies2171]

I use super glue to mend torn plastics. Coming down from TN on the 17th, hope to see you on the water.

[@RH-qk5lt]

What site did you find the replacement bodies? The only ones I can find are the Mini 4" inkvader replacements.

[@FatFoxAdventures]

@@RH-qk5lt I believe it was tackledirect

[@kenowens6241]

Could not edit my recent post but just wanted add that I really appreciate your lower Mobile County kindness for handing fish to the couple at the dock. I know they really appreciated them.

[@CaptCollier]

Yes sir, I eat fish all the time and have plenty in the freezer. It's good to give some away to people who may not when you can

[@minibar7165]

Very nice and objective review of the Mustad Octopus jig. It obviously does catch fish, but doesn’t hold up very well. I just ordered a few sizes so I can test them myself and also compare them to the Nomad SquidTrex, that also works very well and seems to hold up better.

[@mikeknottscreek8183]

Nice of you to share fish with those other folks.

[@CaptCollier]

Yes it is, I try and do it as often as possible. I have more than I need most trips

[@COLE_and_JAY]

My life isn’t complete until I catch an AJ on a wrench! Awesome vid! 🔥

[@CaptCollier]

Thanks! Ill have to get ya'll down here in the spring when the weather isn't so unpredictable and make that happen

[@8-bitco-op897]

HELL YEAH thats how you start off a video. First drop and insta hookup. The bend in that rod was a thing of beauty. I had an octopus jig kinda like that but someone felt they wanted it more then me and helped themselves to it. Nice to see it in action, I may have to pick me up another one. Excellent Video as always Capt.

[@CaptCollier]

No way, someone stole it?? And Thanks! Wil definitely be dropping it again

[@micah5740]

HAHAHAH!! Ohhh yeah, this things going to get WRECKED - and the FIRST drop!!! Freaking Badass!! LOVE IT

[@CaptCollier]

Haha it had too, looks like a little appetizer for them fish down there!

[@robertelrose6239]

I love the Octopus, I love the wrench, 9/16's is my favorite also, and you giving away your catch is the over the top move. I'm so glad I found your site and looking forward to many more of your adventures.

[@pathua7692]

19:05 hahahahahhaha that just never gets old! Maybe give the triggerfish a taste of its own medicine with an octopus shaped wrench🔥

You know I had to do it 😂 and yea no kidding

you are blessed man, good video.

Good work, I just bought the same mustard octopus and I can’t wait to try it out for grouper here in Tampa

[@anarchistangler]

It was so funny when you were saying 'give me my octopus' and the fish was flapping and the octopus was spazzing out.

[@CaptCollier]

Lol I have to entertain my self sometimes when I'm out there by myself.

Dang! Talk about a quick bite. Great video. Thanks.

[@tombrown7577]

I don't remember a winter where the weather has been mostly fishable and downright nice! I'm sure as soon as I plan a trip it will magically appear! Great video .

[@CaptCollier]

Good days are definitely few and far between that’s why I try and take advantage when I can! Thanks!

[@someguy2637]

You sure had a good old time out there especially for a January day. I bet you the wrench jig didn't cost you as much as that octopus one did. Great video Captain. I never get tired of seeing that kind of stuff.

[@CaptCollier]

It sure didn't. I've got plenty of old wrenches laying around. The octopus is still pretty cool though

always nice when you can get offshore on a good day to catch some fish! havent been fishing since november been to busy building traps gonna try and go after some sheephead and drum friday if the the weather permits we shall see! Lol

You got that right, we’ll good luck to you. Them Mississippi sheep are chewing good!

[@claylyons8160]

Hahaha...I was wondering if the wrench was coming out! Good stuff buddy

[@CaptCollier]

Aww you know it’s gotta make an appearance from time to time 😂 thanks!

[@wrightackle1]

I look at those squids in tackle shops and think the triggers are going to tear them to shreds. What surpised me though was the tentacles seemed to survive it was the head that gave up the ghost. I would clip those tentacles off and tie them on a lead head. I believe where those lures are going to shine is in the deep water where you won't be bothered by the triggers.

[@CaptCollier]

I would agree with you on them lasting longer if I was away from the trigger fish. I have a 250g Inkvader I plan on trying out deep for some grouper!

[@walldog1457]

Well shiver me timbers,guess I have found a new use for my old made in China wrenches 🔧 😅. Great content 👌 just found your channel, Thanks for theshare . Oviedo fl.

[@AllanO808]

That's the thing about all the expensive lures, often all the fish want is something shiny, be it a wrench or cooking foil.

[@CaptCollier]

That’s right. I say it all the time, 90% of artificial lures are really to catch us as fishermen more than the fish, but we still buy them anyways 😅

Yes it was really cool to use! And to me, their dorsal fin is how I distinguish the difference. It usually has more of a pronounced point to it. I explain the difference in the video

your videos have me wanting to do some slow pitch but in my area the water is about 15 maybe 20 ft deep. Can you still slow pitch in such water or does it have to be deeper?

[@CaptCollier]

Absolutely. You could use 20-60g micro jigs. I’ve personally never done it but I’ve seen others try it and had success

I’m gone try a 9/16 over here in Pensacola 🤣

Fun to watch you catch fish. Yes = it catches fish = the rubber like Invadir octopus. HOWEVER = it doesn’t hold up. Cheap. Same thing on mine - head ripped off. Mine was all torn up after a single fish. That is pretty expensive fishing. I have one more new one. THEN - I am done buying this expensive CHEAP lure.

DON'T COST MUCH AND LOTS OF VARIOUS COLORS AND TYPES. BUT IT CATCHES FISH. SURE PALS AND FRIENDS LAUGH BUT IT HAS NEVER FAILED. .. IF THERE ARE FISH ABOUT THEY WILL TAKE IT. GIVE A IT WHIRL .. I USUALLY HOOK UP ABOUT SIX HOOKS ON ONE LINE ABOUT 12 INCHES APART. TINSEL ON THE HOOK =FISHES ON THE HOOKS . .. IF YOU TRY IT OUT COULD YOU LET ME KNOW HOW YOU GOT ON , ENJOY. TIGHT LINES.
