My BEST and WORST Bass Fishing Lures of 2019 (SURPRISING!?)

Do you ever think about the best and worst lures you've used? In today's KZbin viDEBO I'll discuss the lures that I had success with and the lures that weren't as successful. I realize some lures may require more time on the water to gain confidence. However, I'll discuss my reasoning and why each lure ended up on the list that it did!
COMMENT BELOW and let me know what your best and worst lures of 2019 were!

Best: Ned rig with 2.75” TRD finesse worm Worst: everything I’ve tried to dropshot

[@fishbinky]

Same

[@DEBOSFishing]

Hahahahah I'm glad it's not just me with the deop shot. I put a lot of time in with it this year and I'm a lot more comfortable. I really had to force myself to use it. I do think it has a time and place though.

[@The_Bass_Stunters]

Jason Spangler bro!!!!!! 😂 I struggle with the drop shot my self.

[@5.7hemi79]

I throw a dropshot about twice a year only on deeper lakes and I catch dinks with it but when I try that ned rig i just get snagged every cast and go to my good ole shaky head worm

[@legionssb]

The Ned rig has been awesome for me in clear, shallow water. If you don't want to snag; throw a weedless EWG Ned head.

[@guywithagoprofishingshow3011]

dude 30 fish in an hour and a half is killin it...

[@DEBOSFishing]

It was a crazy night after work!

[@carriewheeler2745]

Iv never caught that many fish In one trip and I consider myself decent fisherman so he is slaming it

[@5.7hemi79]

Most I've ever caught (off the bank) is 21 in 2.5 hours. I bet 30 in 1.5 hours is insanely good.

[@warnerww83]

I’m psyched to get two or three off the bank in two hours

[@Ranger374_]

Great video Debo! My most productive and favorite lure of 2019 was definitely a black and blue jackhammer! Hands down a great lure for me. Keep up the great tips and advice buddy! 👍

[@DEBOSFishing]

Can't argue how consistent they are...definitely feesh catchers! Thanks for watching my man 👊

[@martinthefisherman]

ViDEBO!! 🎣🎣🎣🎣🔥🔥🔥 Zoom Fluke was a killer for me last year!

[@DEBOSFishing]

I honestly need to toss the fluke more!

[@timmcc1044]

Hi Debo, appreciate your videos and instructive content. I'm renewing fishing hobby after 30 plus year exodus and your channel has really helped me understand the techniques, equipment and bait/lures that did not exist back then. You're the best! Also, I agree with you re the Melee. I had problems keeping the lure in the strike zone. It kept rising quickly in column. Others told me to bend the blade, but that didn't help and the crevice for the blade kept getting blocked anyway. I'm actually glad it's just not me that had issues with it. I thought since I'm newer, I must be doing something wrong. Keep up great work Tim McC

[@DEBOSFishing]

That's awesome to hear that you're back to fishing! Yeah, I only had one out of the bunch that worked. I was disappointed because they look awesome!

[@zacharyparagi8165]

Just started watching your videos Debo, and I absolutely love them. Keep up the hard work! I look forward to your future vids my man!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks man! Always love seeing new folks in the comments! Appreciate you watching 👊👊👊

[@janosczovek8524]

Lovely video Debo I love these tipe off video's thanks for your help and advice 👍👊I had the same problem with the Tokyo I will stick to the Texas rig 😀

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, hard for me to take the Tokyo over the regular old Texas rig! Thanks for watching 👊

[@kellysatterfield5384]

Great video! I appreciate your honesty of what you did and didn't have success with. Keep up the great videos and good luck this year.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Just sharing my experience! Thanks for watching and supporting 👊

[@chrismcvey908]

I definitely agree with just about everything you had to say. Chatterbait and Ned have been my favorites the last 2 years. Some of your “worst lures” I’m glad I didn’t buy because to be honest I never found them all that intriguing. Great video brother! Keep cranking them vids out!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Always appreciate you watching brother 👊

[@live2fishofficial]

Great honest recaps, much appreciated! There’s a lot of things that simply don’t work for me, that other people smash bass on. For me, it’s chatterbaits and swim jigs. I can’t get a bite on a good day for anything. However, creature baits on a Texas rig and Ned rigs kill it for me all season long. Thanks for sharing Debo, can’t wait for the 2020 season of vids.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yes! It's always interesting to see how different it can be from one angler to the other. Thanks for supporting me into 2020👊

[@johndeno1071]

Nice Debo, I actually started using chatter baits after you did a video on them caught a ton of fish one of my favorite confidence baits for sure. Great video thanks for giving your honest opinions on all of these lures..

[@DEBOSFishing]

Awesome, glad you found some on the chatter!

[@kylesnowdon8498]

I’m with you on those chatter bait customs from tackle warehouse...hands down one of my favorite lures and most used this year. Tied with the chatter bait would be the good ol pitching jig. Or any jig for that matter. Had a ton of luck on jigs this year and got addicted to the way fish bite them. Like you I’ve stocked up on many of my favorite lures and am looking forward to getting back out there! Awesome video bud👍🏻

[@DEBOSFishing]

They are the best bang for the buck when you hit the sale. Less than the price of the original with better options and hardware! I'm excited for open water man!

[@dhiggins910]

Really like the honest opinions in this video!!! Tokyo rig produced some good bites for me last spring, but not a whole lot since! Still can’t say for certain whether I like it or not but I’m gonna keep trying.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, I'm really intrigued by it. I'll test it more this year! Thanks for watching man 👊

[@Hammersmithblues]

I just want to say that I appreciate your opinions and the explanations about how you arrived at your decisions. Empirical evidence is kind of your thing and I like it so I smashed SUBSCRIBE

[@anthonyreeder8283]

Debo thanks for the video. I need to work on the drop shot. I have no confidence in those. Texas rig is always a fav and then one that I really liked that you suggested was the Z-man Finesse Jigs that are awesome and work. Thanks again look forward to more videos and table top review on gear and what not.

[@DEBOSFishing]

I didn't either until I forced myself to work it this year. Definitely more confidence with it this year! Good luck man, hope you catch some biggins!

[@redbaron1875]

Another great video brother. I was looking forward to this one. Always good to hear an honest opinion instead of a reviewer saying everything is great.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Just my experience with the lures. I agree, it's always fun to see how others do with stuff. Anglers can be so different in confidence techniques.

[@redbaron1875]

I agree. I tend to be more confident with a jig or Texas rig when I can fish slow and know what cover I'm fishing. I'm working on building confidence on moving baits beyond a lipless Square bill and swim jig.

[@ryanferrara2996]

Great video, I think we all have a box of lures that just didn't work for us so I hear ya. Keep it up Debo.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, gotta find what works for us and out style!

[@FIN_Gear]

Ayyyyyyyy!!!!! I got a Debo shout out! Thank you brother. I really enjoy your channel. My best bait of 2019 was a Skinny Dipper on a belly weight. My worst were the WaHoo spinnerbaits at academy. Every one had bad swivels. Ain't a good spinnerbait if the bait don't spin.

[@DEBOSFishing]

You're welcome brother! Love the skinny dippers! I saw you doing work on that sungill color! Appreciate you supporting the channel my man 👊

[@jasonfreeman4753]

Good stuff Debo. Keep the videos coming bud. Big fan.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks man, I'll certainly try to 👊👊👊

[@leannemotley8982]

My favorites and most used was the Texas Rig and the 🐸. I used to be able to fish a "nice" pond and had alot of luck with a rattle trap. All of the other farm ponds that I fish aren't deep enough and have so much soft bottom that deeper crank baits only frustrate and discourage me. I have become more adventurous and have tried drop shot, wacky rig, chatterbait and the spinner bait. Mostly just learning how to fish and expand my knowledge. Enjoy the insight and your personal experiences with them all. I really appreciate the advice because I think we fish alot of the same types of ponds and small lakes. Spring is on the way!!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice! Frog and T-rig are two of my favorites! It just takes a lot of time on the water and experience with the lures. Good luck this year!

[@jerrydilley6689]

The Trickster!! You had some luck with that! Thanks for the video Debo

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, I did have good luck on the black and blue!

[@nickstimac4086]

Love the video man. One suggestion is to link your favorite rod and reel combos. Keep crushing it

[@DEBOSFishing]

I can start doing that. Thanks for watching man 👊

[@BorneoFishStation]

Just like anything, some work for Debo some don't. no harm in trying. 2020 tackle arsenal and new goals for next vid! tightline Debo

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yep, as you see reading through comments there is such a wide range of what works for folks. That's all part of the fun in finding what you like.

[@RadYOacTVe]

Like you, I haven't had much luck with the Tokyo rig. I like the idea but gave up trying. I have had success with the Lunkerhunt spider running it over some cheese and it gets hammered. As far as the Megabass swimbait, I've just as much luck with it as a Reaction Innovations Skinny/Little dipper. Looking forward to the next vid!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, I'm really intrigued with the Tokyo rig. I'll give it more time next year!

[@desynchonosisdragon9108]

My PB came on that exact Terminator frog. 8.3 lbs. My hooks were good out of the package but I don't doubt that you had an issue. Dark sleeper....MEH... Looks so awesome and is a solid design but I too have had little to no luck with them. Tight line brother and keep up the great work!

[@xeebers]

Chatterbait was the ticket for 2019. Plenty of new lures to try this year; jerkbait, large swimbaits, the Dark Sleeper (lol), shaky head and others. Just got back into fishing after a 16 year hiatus. Keep those awesome vids coming Debo!

[@fishbinky]

I've never had a single bite on a chatter bait or spinner

[@DEBOSFishing]

Me too man, the chatterbait was a killer for me!

[@markd6637]

Awesome video debo definitely do those every year!!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Can certainly do these!👊

[@EddieLindsay681]

You always keep it real Debo, I love it. Bank fishing is a whole other animal and most KZbinrs just repeat the same bullshit they hear from everyone else. But I did have good luck with Tokyo rig last year. My favorite would be between the BD Jerkbait and Zmans Chatterbait.

[@DEBOSFishing]

I'm just sharing my experiences man! I will be putting more time in with the Tokyo this year! Always appreciate you watching man 👊

[@omizoa7365]

“I need to whet my whistle” 😂....my man Debo 💪. Good video bro

[@DEBOSFishing]

Hahah appreciate you watching man 👊👊👊

[@gabedeleon5256]

“The Tokyo rig bro?!” Lol that was me. I had a lot of luck with it last year. The melee jig on the other hand was absolute trash in my opinion. I had the same issues you had with two separate ones, to me the just don’t have the right action. Another nice viDebo 👍🏼

[@DEBOSFishing]

Hhahah yeah, I need to put more time in on that Tokyo rig. I like the idea of it, just struggled keeping it clean and free. Thanks for watching man!

[@InkaOutdoorsTV]

I laughed 👏🏼! I need to get some of those EWG ned rig hooks. Had the same issue with the chapo’s tail breaking off. Love the whopper plopper though, I got my Pb on it!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Those EWG neds are so good. Yeah, that hard tail is the only downside. Still like the choppo though.

[@calvingreenleaf7989]

Trickster 2 the way the bass responded to it was simply amazing. Thanks Debo for letting me know it existed. Bought 2 more for this year already

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, I had a couple great days with it! Tight lines my man👊

[@sarahthacher32]

Would you mind doing a video on pitching. I have tried it but got frustrated and gave up. I’d love to learn more about it. You’re an awesome help to my fishing. Thank you

[@jordancrittenden3049]

DEBO, the Tokyo Rig, Bro! Lol 😆 I with ya man, the Tokyo Rig looks great but no go for me too 👍 Love your videos man 👊

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, the concept honestly does intrigue me...I gotta mess with it more!

[@crashbomber]

Good stuff dude, good picks. Fav: chatterbait. Least fav (in 2019) swimbait!

[@DEBOSFishing]

The chatter is such a beast. What type of swimbaits?

[@crashbomber]

Usually just 4 and 5 inch soft ones, I tried some z man stuff, as well as strike king. I'll get some on then this year though, I can feel it!

[@chrisedsell3103]

Fun vid Debo keep'em coming

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks man. I'll try to keep them going!

[@baldyhead1]

I bought the Berkeley choppo on your recommendation and let me tell ya-Huge top water explosions! Great alternative to the pricey whopper plopper. I’ve never had an issue with the plastic cracking but what I did have was that the back spinning section actually bent a bit after a pickerel attacked it. Easy enough to bend back and it seems to work well enough now that I ended up buying a second in a bluegill pattern to match the hatch . Worth the money in my opinion

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, it caught me my biggest bass of the year. The plop on it is great and it is a ton of fun watching those explosions!

[@therecoillife6577]

Good video. The only florocarbon I've like providing I used it once was pline tactical. Had no problem with it what so ever. I was really nervous though because the last floro I used was absolutely crap had all sorts of problems with it and it was the Berkley Vanish. Will never get that stuff again. But will try the Pline tactical again. Most of the lures you showed I haven't used yet. But I can see your point about the megabass getting snagged too. I've seen those on tv a lot and once in the store and I look at them and think if a bass can easily show that hook then what stops a weed from showing the hook and getting snagged. But as always good job on the video. Some nice weather is coming up so I hope you get to go fishing soon. See ya next time.

[@DEBOSFishing]

I haven't used the tactical yet, I'll keep it in mind. Yessir, can't wait for spring to get here!

[@Fluffyguy958]

Picked up some skinny dippers on your recommendation in bad shad green along side some trokar swimbait hooks in 3/0 and I'm stoked to try them this summer.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice! I love those things. Hopefully you find some biggins!

[@sarahthacher32]

Hi Debo. I live in Maine and fish a lot in vegetation. I fished the Terminator walking frog and fished it around Lilly pads really slowly. It worked really well if I just twitched it or moved it slowly. The fish usually hit it when it was still. My favorite was the black with yellow underbelly. I love your show.

[@randyprovost8426]

I become a believer in the TRD ned rig with craws last year. Caught a crappie on accident with the Darksleeper and have got quite a few snagged out here in Kansas. Enjoy your channel.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, the TRD is just a flat fish catcher. Haha maybe sacrificing the dark sleepers to the fishing gods will bring us good luck 😂👊

[@WorldFishingAlliance]

Lovin the Bio Bait plastics, we killed Walleyes on Lake Erie with the Perch pattern. Looking forward to using them for Bass.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice! I saw those. I need to pick some up to try!

[@slaterfrei7665]

“Break, broke, breaked . . . Broke!” Love the vids and my favorite lure has been a kytech fat impact. Been slaying them!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Can't argue the Keitech! Thaks for the support man 👊

[@Retro-2-now]

Fun video brother. I like hearing other people’s opinions on baits.

[@DEBOSFishing]

I do as well. Always cool to see what other folks pick up!

[@jasonblack460]

I like the end. Go practice foundational skills and get back to the basics when it’s a rough day.👍🏻 the pit boss Texas rigged was a good “if nothing is going right I can count on that bait” I want to get more confidence on chatterbaits next year hear to many good thing to not to!

[@DEBOSFishing]

The pit boss is still one of my favorites! Absolutely, never hurts to brush up on basics! Thanks for watching 👊

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Wicked video man! I agree with the spider, terminator, and dark sleeper. My spider got smoked by one bass and ripped. Second one same thing. I was done with it after that lol

[@DEBOSFishing]

Alex! Thank you very much for watching man! Yeah, I just struggled even finding spots to work the spider. Just gimme a daggum frog and let me swing for the fences! 😂 Appreciate you taking time to watch man👊👊👊

[@shawnbeck2303]

Hey, Debo's My buddy was talking Carolina rigs. Have you made a cool video about this rig? If not could you show us how to do a Carolina rig your way. Or maybe a video on how to rig and fish it? Its going to be 62 and a little windy on Sunday 03/08/2020. Think I will try a craw colored jig with a Green Pumpkin Rage craw trailer. See ya at the Lake's. Shawn

[@TheDefiantClone]

Pretty much new to fishing in 2019. I tried a lot of different lures. You are so right about the Chatterbait. That thing slays. My backup was always a senko because fishing with one is almost like cheating and I like not getting skunked. So far this year I have been killing it on a jerkbait, but I feel it’s use it going to be specific times and/or bodies of water. I do have a goal of landing a fish on all my lures, up next is the frog. Come on spring!!!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice, I like setting a lure goal like that at the beginning of the year! Agreed, c'mon spring!

[@kasonrmac]

Debo, my favorites last year were the whopper plopper, a skinny dipper (which I don’t think get enough love), a joe’s fly in the black wooly worm, a reaction innovations flirt Texas rigged on a spinning rod and a googan baits drag n drop on a drop shot

[@DEBOSFishing]

Agreed, skinny dippers are straight up money!

[@FishBerry90]

Texas rigged pit boss/baby brush hog and football head jigs for bass. Crappie/trout magnet for panfish 👍🎣 caught my PB largie in a zman chatterbait tho, white w a kietech as a trailer. Good stuff here, great content 💯

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yes! The pit boss is an oldie but still a goodie!

[@willtrax71]

Ok I found the Terminator Frog Video and I got one about 6 months ago and holy cow the Hooks are insane sharp so hopefully that was something that Rapala addressed after your review so truly thank you.

[@franksancimino520]

Debo don't change a thing......the best !

[@bdaquatics7584]

Oklahoma's worst fishing gave you a shout out on his last video too💯 Debo's the truth✊ And I'd have to say the lure I didn't have any luck on was the swim jig. I don't know if I'm fishing it wrong or what but I couldn't dial it in and I caught zero fish. I'm definitely trying to expand my knowledge as an angler so I'm trying new stuff

[@DEBOSFishing]

Awesome! Oklahoma's Worst is a great dude! The thing that changed the swim jig for me was getting it in stuff and bouncing it off of things. Rocks, clipping grass, bumping wood, etc. Its very weedless so don't be afraid to put it in precautions spots!

[@bdaquatics7584]

Damn I never thought about that! Kinda like how I fish a square bill! I guess I just swam it because it's called a swim jig lol you the man Debo

[@TM_Outdoorz]

Handmade Buzzbait Debo...It did wonders!! Just tried out the River2Sea S-Waver the other day, the third cast I caught a decent one.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice man! I hope to find some on that s-waver this year!

[@shawnbeck2303]

Hey, Debo's! Thanks for sticking up for bank fishingmen. Not all of us can own a boat. Is it possible to go Pro being a bank fishermen? What's your opinion. I think your a pro at it! Great video! Putting your bait next to your hand is a very good idea. Shawn

[@DEBOSFishing]

No, I don't think they have pro bank fishing tournaments. I'm definitely not a pro! I'm a dude who loves to fish and share my story! Appreciate you watching my friend 👊

[@rosshall312]

Great u stick up fr US Bank anglers !! Ur right, some lures just don't work ! Lol 😎

[@DEBOSFishing]

Just saying how it was in my experience. Not saying the lures are bad, just didn't work in my specific scenarios.

[@rbenning242]

Thanks DEBO! I’m on the Chatterbait bandwagon. Great for me last year and just fun to fish IMO. Worst for me was the drop shot but that’s just because of lack of experience with it and confidence. Here’s to 2020!

[@DEBOSFishing]

The chatterbait was definitely dominant for me this year. I hear ya with the drop shot...it's a love/hate relationship for me 😂

[@benbaxter1949]

My favorite was definitely the Booyah Pad Crasher Jr. It’s just a much smaller profile compared to regular sized frogs, and it seemed to get me a lot more bites, especially from pressured fish that have seen the larger frogs twitch over their heads before. I actually ended up catching my PB on it last year so it still gets big bites too.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice! I'll take frog feesh all day. Congratulations on the PB!

[@KenStarks]

Debo, I purchased the Myagi after watching a video of you using it. Holy freakin' cow man. After a bunch of 1 pounders, that Myagi was hammering 2-4 pounders for the next 45 minutes. Better yet. they stand up to Texas Bass Abuse way better than any other swimbait I have in my tackle box. But what was odd, when they shut off, they were tired of it. Ain't that the way it goes though.

[@drewskyfasho]

Strike King bitsy bug with skinny dipper trailer saved me skunking out many times in 2019 👏🏼

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice! I love the skinny dippers man!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks for watching 👊

[@chonch12414]

Cant wait to try some beast coast miyagi, just ordered some from TW, all based on your recommendations man. Also got a few of the Dark Sleepers, as a Bank fisherman I am now worried, but hey who knows worth a shot in my neck of the woods 2019 traditional weightless T Rigged Senko or a Ned Rig were my 2 best, crushed Smallies with the Ned Not Favorite was Frog... I know tried countless times landed topwater with Plopper but never a frog...

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice! Let me know how you like the Miyagi! Don't be worried about the dark sleeper because of me. Just didn't work in my situations but you may crush on it! Good luck!

[@jimmyengland3724]

I practice every day casting and working bait love your vids wish you would do a comparison on different

[@bradenellison5954]

Agree with the dark sleeper. Was excited to try it out after seeing Tactical Bassin recommend it and lost one first time throwing it. Way less weedless than expected

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, from the bank it disjt work great for me. From a boat I could see it going a lot better!

[@Fearthelettuce]

I lost my first dark sleeper on the 2nd cast from the bank. I was so excited and that really put a damper on the day. I'm going to try them when creek fishing for smallies as I think they look like great sculpin imitations.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, I think you just have to be really careful with them!

[@leom5028]

That terminator frog especially that color is the best frog I've fished and i do lots of frog. But i never thought about them hooks, gonna have to look into it.

[@shawncantrell3764]

I've been watching your videos for a few months as I fish in the same region I fish similar bodies of water and a lot of bank fishing I appreciate all the helpful tips. Just finished watching the spring fishing episode with Bassgeek and noticed people were donating to the show. How can I do this?

[@PiperFishing]

I use the Tokyo rig in a very specific way. I will retrieve it constantly while always maintaining bottom contact. Basically reeling as slowly as possible while still always keeping the bait moving. As far as plastics go I will use 4.3 keitechs in darker colors a lot of the time. With the constant retrieve that tail is always back there kicking. Creature style baits work too, I'll just slow down my retrieve even more allowing some pauses. I think that mimics a craw a little better.

[@charliedompierre6955]

you should take a trip to Michigan this summer to catch some giant smallies! i can take you out on my boat

[@DEBOSFishing]

I'd love to get up there and do that!

[@charliedompierre6955]

DEBO'S Fishing I would be so much fun

[@Wheremarcelat]

Yo, I laughed man! Great video -- Thanks A chatterbait head to head would be cool this year

[@DEBOSFishing]

The thanks goes all to you for watching man 👊

[@LukeBarnes5150]

You just got me into the Ned Rig. Now you're telling me there are weedless ned heads? I slliigghtly remember that but I thought ned were dumb. THEY ARE NOT DUMB!! On another note, still love the pit boss, still love the chatterbait, but I am VERY interested in the SK menace bug as a trailer. You're the second person this week I've seen using them and I think they are exactly what I've been looking for!

[@DEBOSFishing]

I told ya man, the ned flat out catches! Those weedless heads are money!

[@LukeBarnes5150]

@@DEBOSFishing That's been my only complaint with the z-man heads. I'm a bit tentative to throw them around wood and heavy cover.

[@jerrydilley6689]

I know you are a busy man, but can you make a reel review video on the inception sz, many thanks for the channel Debo.

[@DEBOSFishing]

I haven't used that one! I'll keep an eye out for an irresistible sale!

[@herbsteiner1013]

Rusted hooks generally mean the product was probably stored in a non-air conditioned warehouse for a long period of time. The problem with Ned rigs is that they have the highest percentage of gut hooked bass.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, rusty hooks suck. What? I've never had a single bass ever gut hooked on a ned? Those folks need to try braid to a leader 😂

[@drakeaamold9758]

God is good

[@gregred78]

I really like the rage tail for a trailer, and I know a few people who always have a few different chatterbait tied on because some days they won't touch the regular chatterbait but will hit the thunder cricket or others like it.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, those subtle differences could certainly do it.

Chatterbaits are tied with TX rig as my go to rig. have beast coast miyagi and owner hooks in my cart now! I love paddle tails, but want to branch out a bit. Thanks Debo!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Those miyagis are money. Can't argue the TX Rig. That had caught me so many!

[@salty_ads]

The dark sleeper is one of my confidence baits especially smaller lakes and rivers. Definitely not a great weedless option but i think the fat body makes it different to similair paddletails. My most succes is to sight cast and pitch around laydowns. But can be a decent searchbait too...

[@nrt440]

👍👍👍, keep up with the good work

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks man, I'll keep trying to get vids out!

[@Baddmnkey1]

Agreed, the MB Dark sleeper is NOT even close to being weedless, BUT I still love them.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, I just need to put more time in on them. They look good but hard for me to swallow losing two at $8 each 😥

[@CasualBassGuy]

Bro HOW DARE YOU with the Dark Sleeper!!! Lol good video

[@DEBOSFishing]

I know I'm in the minority saying it. Just my experience. If I had a box of 100 for free, I'd throw them with less care of getting snagged 😂

[@davidsagastume3700]

Matt and tim from tactical bass’n swear by the dark sleeper too. I like the for bedding bass!

[@jimmied2838]

Great video my favorite for 2019 chatter bait. worst was the storm spy bait

[@DEBOSFishing]

Love me some chatterbait action!

[@gregorykurilla7205]

Z-Man Project Z Weedless ChatterBait were an absolute hammer for me this year in the breaking bream color with a ktech swimbait as a trailer. Caught the 2 biggest largemouth of my life on them this past year

[@DEBOSFishing]

I gotta try some of those weedless chatters to see how they do!

[@seizedcarcass8440]

Tokyo rig is amazing! It’s a great alternative to Texas rigs and also it’s great to use in thick grass. I personally like to hook a brush hog on them or a craw.

[@Thespanglerangler]

You caught 30 fish in an hour after work...I don’t think I’ve caught 30 fish in my life 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@DEBOSFishing]

Hahah yes, it was a good night of fishing!

[@tomelliott83]

Great video My best lure is a Frog(lunkerhunt combat) and worst lure all crankbaits(I cant get myself to use then when bank fishing)

[@DEBOSFishing]

Try the squarebill in the shallows on rocks. They bang off a bit better. Man...froggin is so dang fun!

[@icaughtyoubasstard4877]

Wow. Those Megabass Dark Sleepers are killers! I used them the whole time in 2019 and got lots of bass! They are awesome. Give them a try again and don't give up on them. It will grow on you fast!

[@DEBOSFishing]

I got two more chances to catch some!

[@everettsmith971]

ICaughtYouBASStard what weight r u using. I have had no luck

[@icaughtyoubasstard4877]

@@everettsmith971 3/8, 1/2 and 3/4. At times 1oz. If it's too weedy, I don't use 1oz because it's too heavy.

[@wesleybranham3183]

I find the Tokyo rig really shines for me when fishing brush. Where I need to go 2+ ft into the pile. It worked very well for me. It is very use specific for me.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Hmmm...you think that would do better than the standard Texas rig in brush? I need to mess with it more for sure. Thanks for the feedback!

[@N5KDA]

That spider made me think about ultra realistic baits. I don't know what fish think different lures are but I have never had much luck with the one that looked ultra real to a human.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Hmmm I have swimbaits that look pretty realistic and catch. The spider was just hard to work.

[@gsloat2424]

Hey Debo, Amputee Angler here I liked your pro's box as far as your con's side, thanks for the heads up on some of those more expensive baits! Probably Gunna get some hate from ppl here but, those Dark Sleepers, I have 1 from the Wish App, way better than the real ones, the plastics a little more stiff, hooks nice n sharp, and the fin doesn't come open as easy, amazing paint n gloss too! They're supposed to be good sculpin or golby maybe a small panfish maybe perch profile instead of a traditional keitech

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice! I have had a couple other folks mention those! I may need to look them up 🤔

[@gsloat2424]

@@DEBOSFishing definitely! No offense to the big bait companies, but yes wish app has some good baits, but can be a hit or miss until you try it in water 😂

[@gsloat2424]

rebel PopR, I hadnt bass fished since a kid on FL vacation catching a 4lber at like 7 yrs old, so this popR by rebel got me my first and very very many blowups and hook up ratio be amazing! Baby Bass color! Hooked into what felt to be 6lb bass had blown up on it when i first started fishing again last spring since i was 7, I'm 33 now, I have adrenaline sensitivity unless its bass blowing up on my lures, that feels amazing i shake from it! Rebel PopR Baby Bass is mine!

Spot on evaluations IMO

Always appreciate your support man 👊

Whopper Plopper, and texas rigged 4" Havoc pit boss! U already know mayne!! Cant wait to get into em again this year!!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Agreed man! We gotta get on a bunch sometime soon after the ice leaves. Spillways or something maybe?

[@shawnbeck2303]

Just went to Academy Sports Store and got a 90 Wopper Plopper White Chartreuse and blue top. Bought Havoc pit bosses at Wal-Mart for cheap Green Pumpkin with purple flecks. Texas rigged sounds awesome. Will try both soon. Went fishing 2/1/2020. 59 degrees and 15 mph winds. Used White spinnerbait Indiana and Colorado blades and Redeye shad. Not one bite . But had a whole lot of fun. Bought a Quantum ACCURIST PT S3 reel and a 6'6 Cherrywood medium heavy bait caster rod. Great combo with 30 pound braid. Cast a couple time 40 to 50 yards with the wind at my back. That reel is a killer. Thanks for the info Man! SHAWN
