[@sadzicbulwy]

*Lures looks very realistic even prunked my friends with it.Looks very durable **enjoyable.fishing** recommend sunk very good into the water.Cons: Storage package could be bigger.*

[@chrisboyd1408]

Over 30 years ago, my grandfather would never go fishing without that Pork frog

The trophy flash at 9:26 is king 👑👑👑

[@michaeldurham8635]

I would just like to thank you Mr. Wheeler for the tips you give for true cold water fishing. Most tips given by other pros are guys that fish in Texas,Florida or California. I am a fellow Hoosier and truly appreciate tips that actually help me catch fish.

This time of year. A Rayburn red booyah lipless is an absolute killer for me.

[@kennethsmith5494]

I had not fished for years, however I did buy a used bass boat in late spring. The first thing I looked for was Uncle Josh pork. A lot of folks had never heard of them. Glad they are back

[@bennettbassin2269]

The pig and jig!! My old man is an old school 80s and 90s tournament angler and one of the best things he taught me about bass fishing is the pig and jig. Cool to see someone else is still using it too.

[@jimbeavers9723]

Good Stuff! Love Shad Raps and jigs for any water less than 50! Also, slow roll big spinner bait. We used to throw a natural buck tail jig with a purple pork eel. Killer. Keep you the good videos. We appreciate them.

[@BulletsNBrass]

Ok, when Martin and Wheeler are saying the exact same thing you know it's fire.

[@HanSoloxcs]

Aren't they sponsored by the same companies?

[@BulletsNBrass]

@@HanSoloxcs Yeah, but for the most part they were not being real brand oriented. If you don't like that particular brand you can find equivalents from another major brand. I'm honestly not sure how much overlap they have for sponsors. I'm mostly taking what they each said and digging into my options and adjusting what goes with me. I bank fish and basically carry a bag with a deep 3700 and some extra plastics, spool of line for leaders... So I have to regularly adjust what goes and what stays home. Let's face it, for their audiences, did they suggest anything we'd really not already have? Maybe you go look and say, "hmm, I need to restock that plastic, or I don't actually own a suspending bait in the right color." but odds are good most of us had it already and just aren't sure what to be using. Gotta admit, despite the tips I got skunked badly today. Didn't see anything either, which is rare. I'm wondering if something happened in that section of the creek to send the fish elsewhere.

The flash of DC was priceless. It was as fast as that slap in the face you just have him. 🤣 Freaking hilarious!!! Whatchu got to say DC?!?!🤣 Goteem!!!

[@erokraider1690]

Saw it. Thought that’s what I saw. Backed it up and paused to make sure. Then laughed my ass off for a solid 5 minutes. 😂

[@thomasjohnson1664]

My dad and great uncle have told me many stories about the pork trailers back in the 80s and 90s. me and my dad were out fishing and went in a store on the lake to get gas and found some, we bought them and haven't used them too much yet. Next trip out I will have one on my jig!

[@mikebailey2119]

Jacob, I guessed you were going to say pork frog since I'm 70 and used them in California when I was younger. My goal is to start throwing the largo shad more. My boat needs some work so I have been fishing from shore and it's hard not to keep loosing the largo shad. Thanks for the great information on your December baits. 🎣🐟

[@kevinburton3619]

Put that largo shad on a belly weighted hook and it’s weedless/snagless

[@mikebailey2119]

@@kevinburton3619 thanks I will give that a try.

My son took to your advice of giving a 110% and hard work will pay off. He’s 7 and looks up to you like I do with KVD. Super cool man. Glad to see the comeback and AOY!!! Congrats

Thank you friend! I will try out a few of these rigs here in Raleigh, NC!

Years ago, I was in Cabelas looking for pork rinds back when they started getting hard to find and ask a girl employee and she started leading me to the snacks😂 I do like me some pork skins and especially pork cracklings.

Can you do a "side" video on the shad rap? I would like to know ways to make further casts with them. Thanks for the video!

[@zorkabaljak3919]

It swims like a real fish in the water. Also it’s heavy enough to launch it pretty farI think it’s worthI tried the white and red one. I ll try the other colors to see if it makes any difference

Ive never fished the og pig n jig. I was about to get some but some of the old timers are saying tbey arent the same? Should i stick with my zoom chunk or try the 12 dollar for 3 bait pig n jig?

Its still like 80 here in houston

What would you use if your bass are primarily feeding on bluegill? Most places I fish it’s bluegill

I saw a video saying speed crank drivers with a pauses. What is your opinion?

[@thomasturnbull7142]

No ned rig? No drop shot??!?

[@Fletch111]

Caught a few dirt shallow walking the bank on a blade bait yesterday. Bait was constantly dragging bottom it was so shallow. Couldn’t get bit hopping it only on a steady retrieve popping and stopping every now and then. This was my first time catching them on a blade bait so I really just fished it like a trap. Anyone else fish a blade bait this way? Thanks for the tips!

[@chasegurkin8291]

What do you do when it’s been cold but then it gets up in the high 70’s in December I’m going to lake jocassee in sc tomorrow and it’s super deep and super clear and it’s going to be almost 80 what do I throw?
