Why this technique is catching SO MANY fish

[@Paul.Breaux]

I've literally been waiting for this video for years. Thanks Todd and Joel!

[@aaronkopp9062]

A light went off, been trying to work this technique now for years and could never get it. Thanks guys! I’ll be adding a mono jigging rod to my setup!

[@jjpatterson7844]

This was very helpful, thanks Todd!

[@andytrinh7637]

I learned so much from this video, thank you both.

[@hectorcoria3650]

Great stuff and footage there Maynard! Thank you.

[@charlesperez7038]

Great video! I've learned a ton from you and Joel... We had a 2 man limit of bass yesterday in Chalmette fishing both of these methods!

[@ethansmith7659]

Great comparison! I do believe your actions will change once you add current, or even wind drag on your line. Here in Texas I throw strictly 1/8 or 1/16 oz. That has a lot to do with shallow water and very little currents. I will use a 1/4 if I’m swimming a paddle tail, but not often.

[@kenweber7945]

Jigging the bottom is my favorite and this was helpful. Great video, thanks!

[@XxNiteStockerxX]

Fantastic work! Couple things: 1. Never heard of this technique. Gonna have to try it! 2. What if you pop it gentler with the braid?

[@thebayoudiaries8389]

Awesome vid todd and Joel! I was certainly curious as to why the PP was so effective! Thanks!

[@joejordan7002]

Love the pool tests! I have tried some of the techniques and baits here in North Carolina (Pamlico Sound), and I am catching bigger trout. Thanks for the education and keep up the good work.

[@robertburkhardt9723]

One of the most educational pool vids yet 👍🏼

[@clintfulbright1596]

Try a double pop with braid. Iv always used a double and braid for trout/bass and reds. Single hop for flounder. Might as so have alot to do with your rod, you like a lot heavier rod, so no rod give when you pop.

[@bradheffner1980]

That was a great video! Thanks!

[@rickbrown7067]

Great job Todd, keep up the pool demos! Wealth of experience! I’m going to try that up here in Washington on some smallies on 10lb in the Columbia river. Thanks.

[@MarshManMasson]

Nice! Let us know how it works. Thanks for following from so far away

[@joemacera747]

Great video, I also throw braid and have never done well with jigging. I will be throwing mono on my next trip

[@lainshore-brandonmaskew]

Great video, crazy how much of a difference there is between braid and mono

[@bottomlinebassin2001]

Love the pool vids, always learn something new 💪🏻🐟

[@TheKajunkat]

That pontchartrain pop looks like it does a pretty good job of copying the tail flicks you see in small fish. Looks just like the little fish darting around our aquarium.

[@jdglvr]

excellent footage, so many variables can be applied. In the fall fishing grass flats I felt like the triple pop would help cover the entire water column in 2-5 ft of water. lighter weight rods & longer leaders help get more lure action 3/16oz jig heads & matrix or vortex shads..

[@saltwaterservant6526]

That technique looks like forearm tendonitis just waiting to happen. lol

[@clintfulbright1596]

Also on the Matrix shad I always bite a little piece out of the tail to body section to give the lure more action on the fall with less weight. They are so strong i dont see a increase in tail biteoffs.

[@jefflee6459]

This deserves a Emmy

[@MarshManMasson]

At least!

[@jasoncosentino3269]

Awesome video and great info to have. Maybe it's time to go back to mono, but I love my braid!

[@georgewilkerson4759]

I might have to keep one rod spooled with flouro this spring lol.

[@waywardpaddler]

Interesting! So, why not just do a lighter version of the Pontchartrain pop with the braid? Same motion, shorter range up and down to try to produce the same action. Was hoping you would try it! I was experimenting the other day and this was the technique getting nonstop strikes. I use a shorter casting rod 6’ and 5’5” which also affects the action.

[@5_Eaux_Fishing_Charter]

Thanks.

[@anecai1]

Great video guys, very helpful. Think I'm going to have to respool a reel with fluoro now. Quick question, what type of power/action is Joel using?

[@MarshManMasson]

Medium-heavy power with fast action

[@gabeval9350]

I've been stuck at home and I came across video. I had to stop watchin cuz it makes me wanna drop my boat in Lake Pontchartrain on a north wind.

[@getthenet1015]

Can the same function be preformed on a spinning reel?

[@dennisguidry3466]

Need to put some fish in the pool for the ultimate effect

[@TheChico1332]

I get the jist of it but dang hard to really see what those lures are doing with the shadows/lighting in pool.

[@ncoutdooradventures6148]

Not sure if you've thought of this or not,,,where I fish these lures usually has a current,, sometimes bad, sometimes not much,, but always at least some current. There are times, especially if there's a wind, that we have to use a 1/2 oz jighead,, just to be able to fish the lure, instead of it just being drug across the surface! But we always try to fish the lightest we can get away with, but still get to "fish" the lure. But my point,, a current definitely causes the lure to act different than in a pool!

[@AndyCase225]

What type of rod and length would you recommend for this?

[@MarshManMasson]

Medium-heavy power with fast action

[@specknred19magee9]

MMM thoughts on the difference in 12, 15 or 17# Fluoro ? Great Video.

[@MarshManMasson]

Each step up is going to be less elastic, so it'll increase the movement of the lure with each twitch. We've been on a 12-pound kick lately because it made such a difference in the fall. Probably not as important right now, but you never really know how many bites thicker line is costing you

[@jeffvining6534]

It’s very informative,

[@fishmaster911]

Do you get much line twist while jiggin ? I been using mono with a small swivel to floro leader, to me that keeps line twist down. I’d be curious to see is a swivel would change the action.

[@MarshManMasson]

No line twist at all. Do you feel like you're getting it on the cast or the retrieve?

[@fishmaster911]

@@MarshManMasson both, I mostly fish eel type baits so they don’t have anything to really stabilize them on a free fall. I like using a swivel, easy to tie on with no worry about a knot untying. Also easier to change my leader if necessary.

[@KayakFishingAddict]

I think the difference is solely tail action. I wonder how both your techniques compare to simply swimming the bait back to achieve the tail action with an occasional twitch to mimic erratic direction change. Let's just say, that's the kayak fishing addict method that seems to work the best.

[@bobgomavitz1330]

What type rods do you use for this....specs not brand

[@MarshManMasson]

Medium-heavy power with a fast tip

Good work! Gonna try that PPop technique, maybe with a fluke as well 🎣

[@brandonshields5099]

Is Joel using a leader? Or, just a main line?

[@MarshManMasson]

No leader

[@Ricdawg]

The more erratic. The more bites.

Todd i wish i was fishing rather than stressing about this past election , nothing better to clear ur head better than being on the water setting a linep

[@dominiccianciola3185]

Why would anyone spend time worrying about an election when they could be fishing?
