Our Favorite Under The Radar Baits For Early Season Smallmouth!

[@glenwalsh8488]

Griff, the headshake while Ben was shaking the Ned rig bait was killing me! I had to just start laughing. It was great. Totally unexpected.

[@davidbrowningjr.4209]

I love how you and Griff match today lol DOPE hoody

[@mikehauck5832]

We need more Osp Dice. Griff's video on the Dice is awesome!🍻🎣☮️🙏😎

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Coming soon!

Unfortunately a lot of the lakes I fish are very clear and have kind of moody fish. I have to resort to the Ned quite a bit, but I rarely throw a TRD type bait. Big smallmouth were shallow recently and very spooky. The OSP Dolive shrimp and the Noike Donkey Boo fished on a ewg Ned head got it done. I like the 3” Dolive beavers and the 2.8 keitech crazy flapper on Ned heads too.

I use nishine jerkbaits a TON and the main reason is how great they work with a sweep as well as the traditional jerk. It gives me more cadence options. I like a sweep with a jerk at the end, or start with 2 jerks and immediately sweep then pause.

I utilize the Deps NZ Crawler Jr. and Evoke Zero in the mountain west for some awesome small jaw topwater explosions 🤙🏾

[@BASSOLA-77]

I like the Dunk too, works on crappy here in Oregon

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Dunk is dope! Glad you’re catching them on it!

[@gregoryjones9071]

Griff is fishing with a baby CHICKEN!?!?!? but he throws up at the sight of a DICE!! only Griff can pull this off! good stuff!

[@CreekinWithKramer]

Valley hill booster blade is definitely a sleeper bait that kills for smallies, love that they were half off for this sale. Let it drop like a senko and then spybait retrieve if they don't inhale it at first

[@TheRogerronaldo]

Review on the Megabass destroyer cyclone and killer code pleassssee!

[@secretbassrigs]

If Griff starts his own KZbin channel, "Weird and Under the Radar Bassin" would be a perfect name.

[@glenandzekefuller1706]

I would seriously love to see a Great Lakes 1 v 1 for smallmouth. Griff v Ben. Weird shit only!

[@ericgeesaman270]

“Grab that rat and let’s go” 😂🤣

[@julianojanuario4012]

I crush them on the I loud post spawn, especially at night

[@Bass_AF817]

We need a store in North Texas

[@SolidMango-gh3jk]

We need a store in Minnesota

[@kevinporter5146]

Definitely in the Metroplex!!

[@brownbouy3043]

We need a store in cen cal

[@MichaelRomero]

Smallmouth bass rule! Definitely the better species. I like to use crawlers mainly the pompadour Jr. The I-wing 135 seems kind of big but I'm sure it works. #smallies

[@5.7.0bassin2]

Wow I am surprised that the dice wasn’t one

[@mikecamalier2653]

You guys are a cool and funny. Bassmd

[@Beefster99]

Would be hilarious if on your site every ned rig product you click on just redirects you to Griffs face with non ned baits under it.

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

🔥🍻

[@Tbowie13]

😂 My very last comment was about you razing Griff over an I-wing, and what is Griffs first choice for a bait today... 😊 I own some I-wings so I personally can't razz anyone. I hear ya on the Ashura, what about the Twitch Shiner for the same type scenario. Just bought a mess of em in your sale, along with level minnows. Can't gave enough jerkbaits! 😂

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Thank you for your business! 🍻

[@Stinkybeard]

My post was cranky asking for an update on the Bento Box. I apologize!

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

We’ve posted about it multiple times - the 110 was delayed so the May box is pushed back to June. Next renewal will be end of June for the July box.

[@Stinkybeard]

I cant find it on the Facebook page. I think I follow you guys everywhere.. I watch every video. I am a fan, so if there is stuff you guys are posting that I dont see I would like to know for many reasons!!

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

@@Stinkybeard make sure you follow us on Instagram. That’s where we daily update 👊🍻

[@MadMaxx89]

The I jack is 🔥 for the first month, then it kinda drops off the rest of the summer and gets outproduced by other topwaters.

[@unfi6798]

More Fun & Practical is what "sensei" told the teenage mutant ninja turtle. So they took the Rat to hunt for Smallmouth. Cowabunga.!

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Dudes ✌️

[@osculum666]

I’m totally throwing an evening rat now that I watched this

[@nickcosta88]

🍻🍻🍻

[@dontdoxmebro1780]

If I had a dollar for every time I heard. “It’s only 5 inches” and “I want a whole meal not a snack” 😢

[@MadMaxx89]

Don't knock the rat. Every spring I have a handful of smallmouth that spit up mice and moles.

[@fishaholic122]

Ok i thought that rat looks very interesting and then i seen the price, ouch , and then the good rat looking colors--- r gone-- but im gonna do it , just need time to talk myself into it

[@andyb2604]

🤔👍🏼🤘🏻

[@ADKyakman]

You guys don’t know jack about smallmouth. And neither do the Japanese. But you sure know a lot about tackle. MiniMAX, war eagle standard spinnerbait, jerkbait, and some SMALL bottom contact bait, and a drop shot , is all you need for smallmouth, to have some fun with them surface lures are great, for big smallies the smaller top waters excel for example the choppo 75.. not the 90 which is the same size only thinner profile, totally different sound and presence , the R2S 90 size is decent, but the sound the choppo 75 makes over any other size- aggravates the big ones more than any plopper bait and I have years of footage, 1000s of photos online, years of experimenting..the 75 has a sound they absolutely cannot stand I’ve have them absolutely smash it - break it they hit it so hard- or knock it 10+ feet in the air. When they eat it they eat it. It’s not that I haven’t caught them on the 90 and 105(110) it’s just that each has a sound and nothing aggravates them like the choppo 75- slow, with some pulls and twitch’s , also just on a straight retrieve. I have shorts of trains going by and when they honk on the horn by my town, and I’m retrieving a choppo- it gets smashed on the horn- I think it’s the combination of sounds alerting them to strike the nearby-noise making thing going over them. But the miniMAX , keitech/spark shad, jerkbait, and weightless caffeine Shad’s cannot be beat. Hands down cannot be beaten. These are highly pressured, very smart , very very big smallmouth. 16 inch goes 3.5 in this river, 20-21 inch goes 5-6. Goby eaters

[@jeffreyboucher344]

This is fun? But this isn't fun?? lmaooo "Proceeds with hand jerking and pulling motion"

[@jimboyko2854]

You need to display your products better . You have a bad tendency to throw it up than put it back down but nobody can tell what you’re selling. Poor job .

[@Daiwa_Is_King]

Don’t watch the videos then clown 🤡
