What people want to know is the truth, does it catch fish consistently? Secondly, we want to know the pros and cons, which was addressed. If you listen to a dumb commercial about a lure, nothing good will come out of it. Learn to think.

Me being a dick to Randy? You don't think Randy is a dick? And I wasn't even attacking the dude, just snowflakes and Demonrats. It's hard for me to call people dicks unless I know. It's even harder for me to continue to bash someone. Everything I told Randy was good intention. How you idiots see it is your problem. I don't even have the time to teach him about the Demonrats and Ukraine, but he wanted to go there. I told him the truth which he didn't know. He should give me some respect and gratitude, you think? Like I was telling you that everyone knows the damn history of the Hybrid Hunter as it is the best selling at TW. Now, how can that be? Secrets gets passed around faster than you know in fishing.

Great video! I fish in new jersey (saldy fishing is horrible here a big one is like 3 pounds here usually avrage is 1 pounders.) I hear everything about this lure. I dont have much grass but i do have some rocks and wood. Is this lure good enough to replace lipless and squarebill crankbaits? I dont believe its that good of a lure but then again ive neve fished it. Keep up the awesome videos and I'll be sure to use your links in the description!

This is my go-to crankbait when I am around any grass. It really shines when i fish Guntersville. The rest of the Coosa chain, I will fish them near grass points. They are also good crankbaits on rocky points. You might not get a long-life span running them over a lot of rocks, but it will catch you a good many bass before you have torn it up beyond using it anymore.

They are great baits. Don't sleep on them in other areas either. I used the Clearwater minnow off bluff walls on Cherokee lake last year during the Bassmaster open as a co-angler. caught several small mouth doing this. Also open water when fish are schooling it is great to throw through busting fish. Also after using the baits since they came out be it the original and the shallow I have yet to break a bill off of either size. The gold black back is my go to on off color water or clear water and cloudy rainy conditions. Then I go Clearwater minnow or the clear gizzard shad for clear water blue bird skis. In open water for busting fish I will throw either the Oyster or chrome color in the large size. This bait has pretty much replaced all my 1.5 and 2,5 square bills and I think the shallow will replace my wake baits. I throw the large size on 20 lbs fluro and Jr on 15 lbs fluro. It does great in all cover maybe not as snap proof as a sqyare bill in brush but not far off and works great on rip rap banks. Also like you I swap my hooks and use owner st-38 on the regular size and st-36 on the Jr and change my split rings to owner hyper wire size 3.

Appreciate your comments on the hooks/consistency with sk. As I use more and more hard baits, I find I look for brands that feature out of the box solid hardware first (berkley, rapala, bill lewis).

I love the hybrid Hunter! Quickly became my favorite crankbait when I started throwing it. I have it tied on one of my setups at all times now. It does come through the grass excellent. I also love it in Open Water. I use the smaller size. In Bully, chartreuse perch, and my favorite gizzard. It Dives 3- 5 ft. I would say it hovers more around three and a half to four" love it! I also thought it was the ugliest crankbait I've ever seen. But I am the truest believer now

I've been using both sizes for a pretty good while now and I found that the newer ones are far better made than when they first came out. As far as casting I totally agree with you. It's hard to make a precision cast accurately every time especially if you make an overhand cast, sidearm not near as bad. I've been pitching mines about 20 yards around and under cypress trees and at that distance no problems at all. I fish a lot of grassy lakes full of trees and these baits just catch fish.

Such a good shallow crank around wood. Glad you discovered it! 🎣🎣🎣 Get the red one, chartreuse black back and the transparent shad one. Oyster and blue craw are also good but I find the other three are the money. The shallow model is more of a wake bait and the OG model is more of a true shallow crank.

I remember when those first hit the market I looked at them and my first thought was it has the same bill as the Shallow Shad Raps that I use to use all the time in the local creeks and ponds around the house as a kid. Obviously its a bigger profile than majority of the Shallow Shad Raps so it really only makes sense it would do well on bigger water like lakes and rivers. Never bought any because I am usually not a big Strike King fan when it comes to hard baits. I might pick one up and go Alligator fishing though. I gotta believe they fight more than a Bass. LOL!

I’ve caught 100’s of bass on the JR. through grass. This year they came out with the Shallow series and plan to use them as I head south in a couple of weeks. I also picked up a knock off of this bait from 6th Sense in Black. It has a different sound and only comes in a 3/4 oz size. Will be interesting to see how the two compare.

The HH Jr has been my favorite crank lure ever since it came out. Also, forget about what it's "meant" to do. Fish this thing anywhere you'd fish a squarebill. I absolutely killed 'em last July using this lure on rock banks. The downside to it is it's not made very well. Buy 4 or 5 of the same color and you'll find the shade to be different on one or two of them. Also, you'll need to tune half of them, and definitely change the hooks. p.s. You're a brave soul Matt, fishing barefoot around all those treble hooks. lol

Have been fishing the hybrid hunter for a couple years in a central Texas lake with hydralla out to 8 ft. Have caught lots of bass using the large size. I always have one on deck.

Just purchased a box of Hybrid Hunters, I have most of the colors in both the junior and full size. Just waiting for the lakes to thaw and I'll be out trying them. Your video made me excited to get out and try this bait that's new for me. I've found these baits a bit hard to find, get them early if you want them and use Matt's tackle warehouse link.

I need to get around to trying these bait's for sure... I picked up a few Berkeley sz9 hit sticks today on clearance and never used them before, what's your thoughts on them? Do they make a good jerk bait?

I've had good luck with the hybrid hunters in the finger lakes of NY. The hooks did have to be replaced, I wasn't impressed by them out of the package. So far my largest on the hybrid hunter is a 4.65 lber.

I bought several of the Shallow Shad Rap balsa baits in Size 9 (3 1/2"), hoping the L shaped bill would yield the same results. I don't think it worked out, the bass have cared for the big Shallow Shad Rap.

I threw mine every time I fished Last Summer. Grinding it off the bottom and through cover. And I didn't have any of them break. Most of the paint is gone off of two of them, but still surviving very well. This is the Jr size I'm speaking of.

I have not tried this bait but it does look appealing to me, Matt do you think that would be a good choice for fishing the sides and fronts of docks, just wondering about using it with all the docks on Lake Of The Ozarks???
