Multispecies Fishing With LIPLESS CRANKBAITS (Ultralight Vs Traditional)

Lipless crankbaits are a great early spring fishing lure for bass. Well what about multispecies? Also, does an ultralight lipless crankbait work just as well? Today's video is all about lipless crankbaits (of all shapes and sizes) for numerous species!
I caught 5 species on lipless crankbaits in this video! I guess you could say that they work for more than just bass :) Honestly this was an incredible day of fishing. Caught some nice ones too!

Traditional vs. Ultralight sounds like a epic series💯🔥🎣🎣

[@FishAnything]

Apparently others agree because this comment is getting lots of thumbs up! Love it!!

[@chipseiler1766]

Great idea. Not sure how you know when someone comments, so you may never see this comment on an older video, but here goes anyway. I've been trying to get the Googans to do this same concept as a 1v1v1 for a year now. Take 1 lure.. a hula popper, jitterbug, jerk bait, swimming grub, lipless cranks, buzzbait, etc. Fish 3 different sizes. ultra light, medium to small size, large size. 3 different rods to match the size of the lure. The lure has to be the same, just 3 different sizes. (ex. Hula popper - 1 1/4 inch - 3/16 oz, 2 inch - 3/8 oz, 2 1/4 inch - 5/8 oz). You could maybe make some exception like on a top water frog, as long as all three sizes were either popping frogs or pointy nose frogs. The whopper ploppers would be a cool top water one too. I have actually done this myself. Great fun!!!

[@FishAnything]

Hey there Chip! Thanks for watching and great suggestion. I will play around with this concept more in the future. I was meaning to do more of these videos.

[@paulmajor5585]

Agree on the coffee cup heat tip.

[@FishAnything]

Great minds think alike :)

Comparing traditional versus ultralight DOES sound like a lot of fun! Thanks for a great fishing vlog.

Happy you liked it :)

Great video! I would love to see more of these

[@FishAnything]

Definitely will! Thanks for watching :)

Like the comparison idea. I'd watch it!

[@FishAnything]

MORE TO COME :)

[@trentonhansen8333]

LOL you can totally tell when you've had enough coffee. 😉 Great video!

[@FishAnything]

yeah I speed up a bit haha

[@oldeschoolbob1022]

Great video; thank you. Some great catches in this one, but none more important than that tangle of fishing line just past the 10-minute mark. Times like that are when catch and DON'T release applies. I have the habit of bringing a small trash bag and some disposable gloves along with me when I am outdoors or fishing. They take up almost no space, and are great to have around when you encounter a mucky mess in need of proper disposal. Keep up the great work!

[@FishAnything]

Good point Olde School! Definitely a good habit to always pack out more than you packed in!

[@SethHursh]

Jolene. That’s a fine name for a fine vessel.

[@FishAnything]

I agree 🥰

Great video buddy! Looked like a blast!

[@FishAnything]

It was a super fun day! Thanks Mark :)

[@thedong1941]

Catching nice bass is fun but ultralight game is where it's at! Love the videos, keep it up!

[@FishAnything]

Thanks! Yeah ultralight is super fun but I tend to like anything that catches me fish lol

[@BurqueMD]

Awesome video! Hadn't thought about micro lipless cranks. With bait getting smaller I was thinking they might do well in the fall. Will give it a shot

[@FishAnything]

Heck yeah, hope it works well for you!

[@law1831]

Yo-zuri makes some good looking micro sized lipless

[@FishAnything]

I have one of them in a gold/black back. It looks juicy! I will be fishing it this year for sure.

I like the idea! Make a series out of it! I will watch it all 😊

[@FishAnything]

Right on! Next one in the series drops this evening :)

[@rickbrown7067]

Where is the Donkey Tail special? Great job Nathan, that weather looks like the weather in Washington for 6 months of the year.

[@FishAnything]

I played with the DT Jr off camera a bit and caught a bunch of dinky gills haha I always have one rigged and ready

[@evanslaton5588]

I like the UL versus traditional idea, I actually do that when I fish as well. What a day for the Pike! And those Bass were getting out of the Dink range.

[@FishAnything]

Ha yeah it was a heck of a day Evan! Definitely will be doing more videos like this in the future :)

[@chrisrock6630]

[@FishAnything]

Thanks Chris I had a total blast out there :) I am glad you enjoyed it!

[@johnhanes3450]

These are some of my favorite videos from you. One of my local has been producing so well. I am getting like 6 plus bass in 30 min or less every time. LOVE SPRING!

[@FishAnything]

Dude that is awesome! I am glad you are putting in work this spring.

[@samuelwarden6285]

Definitely like the idea of the concept of the video. I do love catching numbers over size though. Sometimes I just want to catch anything if the bigger ones ain't biting. 👊👍

[@FishAnything]

100% agree - I just like catching fish! The best days are ones like this where I get both quantity and some quality mixed in. Definitely will be doing more vids like this :) thanks for watching!

[@FitzYakin]

Love the idea of a traditional vs ul lures series! A pocket full of kryptonite and a mouthfull of lipless. Sweet multi-species day Ethan, even with the trad lipless crankbait. Sweet bass and pike on the 1/64 oz Mule Jig with the cuttail worm.

[@FishAnything]

It was a super fun day! Definitely will be doing the UL vs Traditional more often. Thanks Fitzy :)

[@charlesforest5323]

Ok, I see you ripping them on the lipless. That early spring bite is on!! Also orange and red are KILLER in the spring. Edit: of course you're ripping some snot rockets lol. Those dang pike are just hungry little buggers.

[@FishAnything]

Yeah man this spring has been the season of orange for me! Thanks for watching as usual buddy

[@thesteveshowfoodfestroadtest]

snot rockets lol

[@jimking2299]

Excellent day. Early spring is great. Too-early spring, not so much. Hit my favorite area yesterday and all the lakes were still frozen over. It was a nice drive, though. I'd like to see some big-vs-little lure battles. Good idea.

[@FishAnything]

Thanks Jim! Yeah spring happens fast. Hit those spots again in a week and maybe the bite will be on fire :) I will definitely do more of this concept in the future!

[@dirk419]

Great comparison idea, I have been trying it a little myself and has definitely increased my odds

[@FishAnything]

I am excited to try it with more lures. Jerkbait will be the next one!

[@takumiinthe86]

It's crazy cus I just started watching this channel and I've become a huge fan. I have a project car that I've been building for the past 4 years and named her Jolene and as he's talking about naming the kayak I'm like what are the chances he's gunna name his kayak Jolene and as I'm thinking that he literally says the name and my girlfriend walks and she's like why is this man talking bout your car? 😂😂

[@FishAnything]

Haha that’s epic! Thanks so much for the support, I really appreciate it. Jolene!

[@fishinwithslush8657]

Love your channel. I would like to see a 3" senko vs a traditional 5" senko challenge. I love to fish a 5 " texas rigged weightless but i also slay um with a 3" on a # 2 EWG texas and weightless with a ultralight. I usually fish green pumpkin or watermelon with the 5" but bubblegum pink with the 3 " will catch everything.Tightlines.

OOOOH I like this idea a lot! Thanks William I will try this for sure.

Thank you Dave for the kind words! It was a super fun day :) And yeah I try to set an example and not cuss (I want to be family friendly and encourage young folks to fish too). Always amazing the kind of language people use on here even when most of their audience are kids...

[@kevindabrowski6991]

Just got my ultra light set up 2 days ago. I used a similar lure And ended up catching a 5 pound bowling. It was so heavy it bent my treble hook.

Oh wow! That had to be wild!

Nice I went in those same condtions. Last weekend. And able to catch a few bass.and then paid for it with a bad sinus infection 😆

that micro lipless work best with 2lbs fluro line

[@FishAnything]

Thanks for the tip! I actually have some Daiwa Samurai 2lb so that will be perfect!

[@scottiewhigham3431]

I was curious about the UL outfit in regards to the line your using. Is there and advantage of using braid and a fluorocarbon vs just using straight fluorocarbon on reel? Thanks

[@FishAnything]

I prefer braid because it is high visibility, zero stretch, and low diameter. I can cast braid further and detect more bites for those reasons. I find that light fluoro is very brittle and breaks easier than other options.

[@jonpogue427]

Love the name!!!!!!👍🎸❤

Thanks JP, Jolene is a sweet sweet gal lol

[@ramrdz23]

[@kirkgeno6077]

Slaying em...man that looked fun! I've got that kut tail worm all rigged up on a fire red mule jig and ready to throw. Just hopping it off the bottom or yoyo retrieve?

[@FishAnything]

Yeah it was a ton of fun Kirk! And yeah the Mule / Kut Tail is pretty simple to fish. Drift it and fish it slow. Twitch the rod and reel up slack to check for bites. But mostly, just let the bait do the work for you.

[@soulcapturecreations3107]

I feel that same I feel like you have to eat the whole cookie to get the fortune.

[@FishAnything]

Haha darn right! Cookie first, THEN you can read it. Or else it simply won't come true XD

[@leomortimer2565]

have you had much luck with those smaller lipless crankbaits? I'm trying yo-zuri mini rattlin vibe in 3/16 oz. I haven't had much luck with them but I have been impress of how weed resistant and snag proof in timber they've been. Go figure, the lure I don't care if I lose doesn't get snag in the weeds and timber, lol!

[@FishAnything]

Honestly I don't catch a ton of fish on them. I think there is a time and a place, but I feel a good ol' jig and plastic tends to catch more fish 99% of the time.

[@fishingwithvin]

TRADITIONAL FOR THE W! 💪👌👊🤙💯😂 sorry dude I know you live for ultra light but I'm a die hard traditional lipless crankbait enthusiast, but I'm kinda biased because it was my first favorite lure of all time! PS Jolene is a great name that song is one of my wife's favorite songs by Dolly. Great video man and as far as a suggestion for future finesse vs traditional baits is go with the spinnerbait!!!

[@FishAnything]

Ask and you shall receive! Spinnerbait will be one of the next ones I do this spring. Jerkbait first though :) And tell your wife she has great taste. In music mostly... But also guys HA! Keep catching them buddy!

[@fishingwithvin]

@@FishAnything 😂😂😂

[@Rutted8889]

I see you were using a spinning gear for lipless, Is there a way to prevent line twists when using smaller cranks and lipless with spinning gear? Every time I’ve tried a lighter crank or lipless I get line twists for some reason. Idk if there’s too much line or what.

[@FishAnything]

Interesting! I can't say I have run into this issue with hardbaits besides spoons and sometimes spinners. I was using braid in this instance and had zero issues. Might be considering changing your line up a bit!

[@fishnthecreek3238]

Everything calls for a swig of coffee.

They are slimy and they are built like a pickle. Also they are like 3 letters away from being named pickle so it just works :)

I always call them ditch pickles. I don't think it's fair to insult their protective mucous coating.

you felt weird left handed reel the spinning reel? just switch the right side why complain, just so you know you can switch the handle right?

[@FishAnything]

Yeah I know. I am just trying to teach myself to be ambidextrous with fishing reels lol. Mostly because of trout fishing in tight quarters so I don't have to switch hands after a cast.

[@RonMTube]

Ultralight = quantity. Traditional = quality. Usually. I'll take quantity (and a fun fight) over quality any day.
