Lucky Craft vs Calissa 110 - Which Lure is Better?

I have fished with the Lucky Craft Flash Minnow in the surf for many many hours and it has brought some epic fishing moments too the channel. However, a new lure has burst on to the scene, the Calissa 110. This is my first time fishing this lure and comparing it to the LC. Which one works better? Let me know in the comments what you think! Shoutout to Hook2Cook for hooking me up with the Sardine Glow!!! Check out his channel for more epic surfperch action with this lure: / @hook2cook

OMFG!! What perfect timing with this video! I have both lures in my amazon shopping cart and have been indecisive for a week now. lol Thanks for the video!

[@DieHardFishing]

Good luck out there!!!

[@skidz918]

Dude those are dope catches 👌 I'm gonna try these now

[@salcalderon2125]

Nice quality fish! I fished that beach about 200 yards north from where you and your wife fished and I got skunked. I had my SP Minnow but didn't try it. My go to bait of choice when fishing for barred is the Berkely Gulp Alive Sandworms. I've gotta get back out after watching your video. Love it bro!

[@DieHardFishing]

Good luck out there!!!! Go get em!!

[@seasonbowy5913]

Good job! need more video like this

[@ericcruzstealth]

Keep em coming diehard!

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@m.t.4338]

Die hard wife and Olaf, great vid! Also great mention of sample size limitations. For a more precise experiment you could have had your wife do the other lure at same time and cast right next to each other. Many more variables could be controlled for.

[@DieHardFishing]

To be continued... lol

[@WildEdgeOutdoors]

Hey I really enjoy your videos! Since I live in North Idaho I don’t get to the coast too often, but I’m learning a lot from you for when I do get there! 😁 One suggestion... can you mention the date in each of your vids for those of us that need to know the best times to plan our trips to the coast? Thanks! 👍😁

[@DieHardFishing]

I never post more than a week or so after I shoot the video so the upload date is pretty close to the actual fishing date!

[@WildEdgeOutdoors]

Die Hard Fishing Thats cool to know, thanks! 👍😁

[@nevillekwa8772]

love your dog! good video. I just lucky craft.

[@ppk45]

Hi, those lures look light. How far can you cast and what setup do you used?

[@jamescoleman4740]

Great vids, are you tying the 20lb braid straight to the lure or do you have a leader line. if your using a leader line what pound would you suggest

[@DieHardFishing]

I use about 3 feet of leader, 20 pound test mono

[@jrpcoins]

Heading out right now! Bought two lc pointers but unfortunately they didn't have the flash minnow available so im using this one hoping i didn't spend for nothing going for surf perch

[@fishinonthebay]

Those are some nice surf perch!

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for watching!!

[@peterbedford2610]

If the swell is 2 to 4' is that two much action for surf perch?

[@zeldanrj3]

Yeaauuuhhh!!! Great job on the catch!!! For ur wifey that is 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻😜 I have a question for you Adam.. does your wife make your beanie's? I notice you wear alot of handmade ones..

[@DieHardFishing]

She doesn't make them but she actually bought that one or me in Ireland! It has kept me warm many times out on the water.

[@manseraoutdoors]

Awesome adam! So far our tests LC VS CALISSA. Calissa is 2-0 to LC thrown right next to eachother at the same time

[@DieHardFishing]

Good to know, I'll keep testing up here!

[@Hook2Cook]

Thanks for the shoutout Adam!

[@DieHardFishing]

Anytime!

[@MO-pr3ru]

great video - what beach is this?

[@GQRS]

What type of rod are you using...?

[@TheUnlistedOne]

What rods are you guys using in this video?

[@jafetjuarez3401]

nice catch what beach is this located?

[@garthstomer]

Which one casts farther?

[@thesantacruzsurfcaster6231]

Have you noticed the Calissa casting farther? I get better distance on it for some reason

[@DieHardFishing]

I have actually, was surprised by that. Not a huge difference but it has been casting slightly farther.

[@DC-mm9zo]

Question, how do you rig these lures? Direct to braid? Leader? Etc. Thanks!

[@DieHardFishing]

3 foot of 20-30 pound mono leader

[@billprorok8115]

How might these work out on the Washington state beaches?

[@BenjieKimFishing]

As a longtime lurker and fan, thanks for this video and everything you do for the fishing community! My thoughts on the Calissa is that it’s not “new.” The lure itself, as well as all of their patterns are cloned directly from the Lucky Craft FM110. Obviously this is not the first time a company has copied another company’s work - think Zoom copying Roboworm and numerous Megabass knockoffs....and it won’t be the last. All is fair game in the world of capitalism and business. And I don’t doubt that the Calissa works....because it’s a clone of a lure that’s been working for a long time. Not trying to say it’s right or wrong, but I think it’s fair to say that it’s somewhat divisive....as evidenced by previous history in the lure making world. What I find amusing is that the company describes itself as “innovative.” As a fellow content CREATOR, the grind is real...it’s really hard work and we are all doing our best to represent this sport we love so much, each of us in our own INNOVATIVE ways. Time will tell if the Calissa has staying power (I agree it has cost and availability [for certain patterns]) on its side. As for me, I respect creativity and hard work, even if the product might not be the best, at least it was striving for something that hasn’t been done before. Thanks again Adam for everything you do. Truly appreciate your spirit by which you run your channel. Wishing you another 1 mill view video! 🙏

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for the thought out review! A lot of insightful information. I enjoyed reading it. Hope to see you out on the water sometime!

[@BenjieKimFishing]

Die Hard Fishing I’m in Southern California but it would be an honor to meet you one day. A NorCal striper is on my bucket list so I’m hoping to make it up there this year! Thanks again for all you do!

[@shotgunaaron]

Water sure looked calm at the beginning of the video. Looks like the perch were definitely biting!

[@DieHardFishing]

It was hot!!!!

[@bigguy3616]

Hello Sir, I have a stupid question i guess lol. How to know when there are sand crab on the beach before going to the beach?

[@DieHardFishing]

no way other than to go check!

[@crazy88909]

Would a 7' 3" Medium Heavy rod for bass fishing work with the Luckycraft 110? Thanks.

[@Sshooter444]

8'6"-10'6" is the sweet spot for surf rods, salmon/steelhead style spinning rods

[@DieHardFishing]

I prefer the spinning setups but you could definitely catch fish with that when the conditions are right!

[@crazy88909]

@@Sshooter444 I guess I have to save money for a second rod. Thanks for the advice.

[@DieHardFishing]

20 pound mono

[@leonard1384]

Can u use a octopus j style fishing hook for bass and striperbsss

[@DieHardFishing]

For sure!!! That is what I use when fishing sand crabs

[@kerrywil1]

hi folks, you and you wife. what kind of hooks do you use surfishing

[@Seishan13]

Any difference on the action? Or the feel of the action? Any difference on the distance? Great video as always.

[@Hook2Cook]

Tom Kaneshige here’s an underwater video we did on it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZWln2t5gMeXg80 This is a bait that seems to be able to be worked pretty slow... we’ve had perch swallow this thing to the second hook.

[@thesantacruzsurfcaster6231]

I somehow get better distance with the Calissa, I don't know why. It seems to transfer the bb better than the LC

[@Hook2Cook]

The Santa Cruz Surfcaster you’re not the first to mention this!

[@DieHardFishing]

In my limited experience, I seem to be getting slightly more distance on the Calissa as well!

[@jcdesignsandboat-works8290]

They both look like good lures.

[@DieHardFishing]

They both work for sure!!!

[@jcdesignsandboat-works8290]

Die Hard Fishing yes sir!

[@WashedKevin]

what lb line do you use?

[@DieHardFishing]

30 pound braid for mainline and 20 pound mono leader.

[@robertgee8445]

did you go back to the same beach the next day ? which lure do you like ?

[@DieHardFishing]

I just went yesterday and it was dead!!! I'll be back again soon.

[@robertgee8445]

watching ur video got me hyped up im off fri sat gonna go out there coming from sactown should i go to baker beach or ocean beach ur opinion please

[@patrickgodoy6059]

So the only camera you use is a GoPro? Nice picture and nice fish 🐠

[@DieHardFishing]

I use a DSLR as well, but all the chest angles are GoPro.

Not trying to take anything away from Mrs. DH but I'm still convinced that Olaf is the fish whisperer?

[@DieHardFishing]

lololol, maybe I should test it...

[@morrobayfishing5515]

One has diffraction, the rainbow effect, and the new one didn't...

[@peacefishtail2438]

Nice video 👍👍 I have 2 calisa glow sardines never use What is The best tide for glow sardines calisa incoming or outgoing tide? If you don’t mind

[@Hook2Cook]

for us here, the four hour window between -two hours before and 2 hours after high tide is nice because of lots of water movement. Fish seem to feel it and come close to eat the bait getting flushed into the surf

[@peacefishtail2438]

Hook2Cook appreciate

[@edcastillo4456]

What breed is your dog Olaf?

[@TomL2025]

The Lucky Craft makes in Japan and the Calissa Makes in China. I bought both lures and put them side by side, The Lucky Craft is way better quality lure. I didn’t use them yet, but I’ll pay a few dollars more for the Lucky Craft.
