Leland's Lures THE ROO: a Detailed Look!

[@sasheh9702]

5:46 this is the reason I love your content and the reason I want to work with you. Your attention to detail...

[@georgemorales7958]

Going to try this to catch some speckled trout and some redfish

[@JWoodcock]

I regularly pull all of my loose Trout Magnets out of their bags/cases to reorient them 😂 Definitely going to try these Roos for some stocked trout ASAP.

[@dennisstewart7849]

Wow, Victor, what a nice review of the new Roo lure. Great color selection and very nice match on the jig heads.

[@ifishcatfish]

hi Denis!

[@danspanos]

They look pretty cool. Oddly enough, I can see them as a good way for a dad to get their kid into fishing!

[@ifishcatfish]

u right, my kids would love messing with these

[@Csp-lo4cc]

I just got a big order today. Can’t wait to try them out.

[@atoadigi]

I have some but haven't had the chance to try them out yet. I mostly fish ponds that have a ton of small bass so these I think will be great for juvenile bass like you said. I hope they come out with some more colors. The original kit came with black back and chartreuse belly which is a color that always works good for me but I did not see that they offered that color in the individual 10 packs, I did get some of the Mardi Gras ones which I know will also work well. I would like to see a Bison color since that's the color that I get the most bites with in the trout & crappie magnets.

[@ifishcatfish]

man, u picky! I think all of their colors are amazing!

[@TBudgetAngler]

cant wait to get mine

[@leepao6302]

I insert a glow in the dark bead in the belly to fish for night works pretty well

[@ifishcatfish]

i think those days are behind me : )

[@comfortablynumb9342]

You can probably straighten those tails by dipping them in hot water for a few seconds and then laying them out straight. I'd like to try a bigger version of those for flounder in the Chesapeake Bay. Berkley Gulp has a strong scent and it gets bitten more than any other lures I know of in the saltwater. And adding ProCure or Dr Juice scents to unscented baits makes a huge difference in the saltwater. I like the niblet idea. It gives me ideas.

[@ifishcatfish]

right. There is no shortage of scents out there and all kinds of dip-sauces, and many lures are already made of scented plastic, but this is still cool

[@TomStarcevich-fb3qo]

Looks like a good bass lure 🐟👍 that would compete with a zman trd ned rig

[@ifishcatfish]

that kind of size..

[@TomStarcevich-fb3qo]

@ifishcatfish yeah that would work for cold water spring bass👍🐟🎣

[@BobSmith-zh6it]

I wonder if by putting the hole in the back of the lure, if there is a swirl of water that happens just behind the belly. So that as you pull the lure through the water this swirl of water would disperse the scent better. Just thinking about the dynamics of water.

[@ifishcatfish]

I don't think the water touches the niblet very much when you are moving it forward. The whole thing is purely theoretical. Now, if u do ice fishing, and u drop in in a hole, and don't move it for 30 minutes, then i think a fish will be able to detect the scent. But now way if you are moving the bait in a dirty river. If the hole was on the front, there would be more water pressure on the niblet, but i still don't think it can be detected by a fish

[@davidcloyd1296]

Yeah, those are cool. You probably did a better commercial for their product than they did.

[@ifishcatfish]

thats what i do : )

[@TheFishingNomad]

Interesting lure, but it might be more work than it's worth. We need an experiment. How many more fish will you catch inserting the scent ball into this lure than just fishing this lure without the scent ball? I think that number will be negligible.

[@ifishcatfish]

it is 100% negligible. There is no way a fish can detect a trace of scent so small, especially when you are moving the bait forward.

[@RealisticFishing]

Too big for bluegill?

[@ifishcatfish]

if you were making them from the same plastic, u can make 6 or even 8 gulp minnows from one of these.

[@chipseiler1766]

Good first look video. Very detailed close ups! If you want to see them in action with a 1/16 oz. #2 Mustad Hook on a Crappie Magnet Eyehole jig, check out Pistol Creek Panfishing's latest video. As far as that packaging goes, I love it for keeping the tails of lures straight. I have a whole tackle bag full of those types of cases. Mule Fishing uses them and even Bobby Garland on some of their newer smaller minnow imitation plastics.

[@ifishcatfish]

that is a bass size jig..

[@chipseiler1766]

@@ifishcatfish Bass size jig (for you and I as ultra lite anglers) advertised and sold as a crappie jig!!! ...also realize that most American Bass anglers use 3/0 - 5/0 size hooks for bass.

[@louisdaniels873]

Interesting indeed .. .

[@lrodecw]

How about for Lake perch in Chicago they have been biting

[@ifishcatfish]

good point... i think they will go for that, but this is not a good dropshot bait. It is designed to go on a jig head, and it will be hard to go down 30 feet with jig head

[@kylothecollector3483]

was trying to order some last night, all the colors i want are sold out :(

[@ifishcatfish]

really? None of them were sold out when i bought mine..

[@panfishin-fool8057]

Can't lie I've been eyeing these baits for some time now just because of its uniqueness but I kinda disagree with you on it being too big for the crappie bro. I think a 9in crappie would inhale this bait down to its A-hole😏 and anything bigger well🤷🏾🎣. Nice detailed breakdown on everything but I wish they made my favorite color which is "Percy" perfect shad imitation. Oh and I'm gonna need you to try those Slab Magnets for crappie. They really weed out those smaller ones.

[@ifishcatfish]

none of these gray colors work for you?

[@panfishin-fool8057]

@ifishcatfish In clear water I've had success with the translucent blue color and stained water that Cajun Cricket or black and chartreuse but honestly never tried any other color besides those. That "Percy" I use the most. It has me the most confident

[@troutmagnetman]

Those are for sure not a good bluegill lure. I fished these before they came out on the market and while bluegill will hit at them the hook up rate was just not good. Good video.....

[@ifishcatfish]

right now, in Winter, white bass is on FIRE over them! And im sure those 14" Kentucky bass around the mooring cells will eat them up the rest of the year... But I don't know about panfish...

[@Dsmuyt]

U have a serious hoarding problem with reels,rods,line etc...IF A COMPANY SAID TO YOU THESE ARE OUR LAST FEW ITEMS...YOU WOULD BUY THEM ALL AND NOT CARE ABOUT IF ANYONE ELSE WANTED TO BUY THEM ❗❗❗👎 And please stop telling me how to use and buy a rod and a spinning reel ❗❗ FYI... ❗❗👎 I DONT CARE IF THE REEL IS 100,000 DOLLARS ❗❗ I DON'T USE THE DRAG ...I BACKREEL ❗❗❗ I ALSO ONLY FISH WITH VINTAGE REELS, RODS, AND TACKLE.. I'M UNSUBSCRIBING AND NOT BUYING FROM YOU ANYMORE ❗❗...YOU AND OTHER SO CALLED KNOW IT ALL'S ON KZbin NEED TO ALL BE SHUT DOWN ❗❗❗ KZbin NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN AS WELL ❗❗❗👎😡

is something bothering you?

He needs the “Therapist” color brother.
