[@SaneAsylum]

The Panther Martin is amazing at very slow speeds when things are slow. I have fished many times with other folks using the same lure and even with me telling them to slow their retrieve down they just never can get it slow enough to get the bite. Gotta watch that nervous energy, especially after you get a bite! Best tip I could give.

[@anthonycolbourne4206]

I have a few Panther Martins that I haven't used as much as other lures, and after watching how crazy lazy slow he's reeling in, and the results he's getting, I will have to give this method a serious workout.

[@faydengramyk8093]

Just finished explaining this to my dad when he came out fishing w me. I have a Plano for my spinners and have many of both Panther Martin and Mepps. Was explaining that the panthers are great action even while retrieving slowly due to the blade design. I find my panther martin is my go-to when I’m messing around on a dock for small fish before we launch, or off the shore in general. I have found my live target rainbow smelt and minnow jerk bait/ (same lure different patterns) are absolute machines for catching walleye. Cheers 🎣

[@falconer5830]

Black and gold or yellow and silver panther martins have always done it for me. When I use spoons though it’s always gonna be a little Cleo over a kastmaster.

[@tuomi6638]

Bruh same little Cleo for the win

[@shawnbowen6833]

Kastmaster in metallic perch is my go to trout lure.

[@coleerickson1944]

Marlen using castmasters any color vs Jordan using Panther Martin's any color 1 hour time period next??

[@victory48]

Please make this happen

[@FishingThe250]

Let's make it happen

[@SJWOLFE87]

Yes!

[@tokeadayproductions9413]

yessss!!!!!!

[@walden6272]

I would love to see this too. Do it guys!!!

[@carloscalvo9567]

I’m just getting into the lighter fishing so you’re explanation of how to fish the different lures is super useful!!!

[@islandlife9127]

The Panther Martin never let's you down. My favorite as well.

[@thedead1820]

Same

[@neilwiththedeal]

Nah it let me down. But I can't catch with a damn.

[@BrianBordley]

I have always been a saltwater bait/ artificial lures, now slow pitch jigging. I was giving inline spinners as Christmas gifts. Your video showed me how to rig, retrieve, and catch. Now will go to a fresh stream and attempt for some trout & bass

[@funkymojo111]

Good explanation of the differences between the two and how and when to use. Thanks.

[@nicholasschley]

Every time I watch these videos I learn something new and it helps me catch more fish! Thanks so much for posting these videos!

[@cerebraltackle]

Ugh. It's situational. One isn't "better" than the other. These "one vs the other" vids are soooooo misleading. I mean, fun video for watching fish being caught....but the "face off" just isn't an honest comparison. Panther Martins shine better in streams as most inline spinners do. Spoons are multi-purpose. It's just all situational...a better video would be to educate newbies on the strengths of each.

[@jonpayer2217]

Hell ya dude! This is how I know you are a real addict, just as hyped on pond trout as you are on a big ol chromer on the river. Stay rockin bro

[@arnrocarnroc]

Excellent trout tips and videos Jordan. Caught a 20” rainbow beauty while camping the Smokies last weekend.

[@henryashbridge3141]

saw y’all’s new braid at my local fisherman’s i’m glad they put your stuff and stores your guys stuff is always great quality

[@farmerbobbygrows3338]

I like that you can jig the castmaster and use it as a bottom bait as well as a moving bait. Always my go to if the Panthers don't work. You can cover more water with a castmaster too

[@myoconnery8189]

Addicted fishing bad ass , love the vids happy to support the brand and what you guys do

[@Chromechasing]

Always putts me in a good mood when I see that they upload can’t wait to see the springer videos start to pop up. Great vid 🔥

[@dennislnbrewing]

Bought the Kastmaster and the Panther Martin yesterday and fished them both. They were both a lot of fun to fish! Seemed about equal in the pond I was fishing. I catch WAY more with powerbait but I LOVE lure fishing. Didn't get anything with the rooster tails this time.

[@EpicGlory111]

I just started taking up fishing and your videos ROCK! I have been learning so much. Thanks for all you do. Out of curiosity, what type of boat do you have there?

[@mikelemieux4623]

Just found your videos and subscribed! Though I love the way you rigged your setup, I disagree with your splitshot placement. It will cause line twist. What I usually do is rig another short piece of line(6 inches) and add a swivel at each end then add your splitshot to this. This prevents line twist. Now, great videos and keep up the good work! You explain your methods very well! Cheers from Canada!

[@captainchazz42]

There's much to be said about preferences in lures and confidence equalling success over the "which one is better" argument.

[@Fnortner01]

I discovered PMs years ago when I first started fishing. It was the lure that always did best. Also like kastmasters and Wob L Rites.

[@TedDBear9431]

My go to with the Castmaster is perch pattern. Green body/ black spots/ silver blade for the Panther Martin.

[@asherrudyan2922]

both are my go tooo!!! but if I had to choose one I would go for the castmaster. i like spoons (castmasters), over spinners reason being cast farther sinks deeper. but love both lures and they both slay

[@kiwi_comanche]

I just ordered 4 of the black and yellow with the gold blade lures in a 1/8th oz. Never used these before , so looking forward to the experience!!

[@nobodyimportant69]

PMs are my go to trout lure, knew it would do great for you. Never used a KM spoon though, I use a Little Cleo 2/5oz same color as the KM, blue and silver, it does well too. Both have their pros and cons, but both are very productive. Great job as always Jordan, keep em coming.

[@JayLee-od8ob]

I casted a castmaster beside a log jam and let it hit the bottom. I pulled it a couple times it got stuck. I twitched it to get it unstuck and it did so I went to rip it in and caught the biggest trout I've ever caught. It was almost 9lbs in a small river system. Panther Martin used to be my favorite river retrieve

[@AlbinOnishchenko-87]

loved this video, finally got to see this match up between the 2 lures

[@landonf4066]

Nice fish!! That one with the kype looked so cool. I have never used any of those but would like to try

[@idaho2085]

Panther Martin all day everyday. It is pi far in my opinion the single best lure to fish with especially in slow streams where there is not much current. You don't have to fish it as fast as a kastmaster would have to be fished.

[@dennisschafer8594]

Absolutely!!! PM has caught me the most fish of all my hardware. Rooster Tail is a close second

[@user-hh8xf6jr9i]

Panter Martin for me is the best lure for any fish. In my country you can catch everything with this lure: chub, perch, pike, balkan trout, rainbow trout...

[@possiblepilotdeviation5791]

8-10 lb braid line tangling bad is no joke. That's what I started with for my ultralight rod, but eventually bumped up to 20.

[@Sam-kf7or]

Agreed

[@ryan89870]

I'm putting together a UL setup. What size/weight lures do you use on the 20lb line?

[@Sam-kf7or]

@@ryan89870 what ever really, no like 2-3 oz balls, but like size 3 blue fox(?), smaller jerk baits, I just make sure to have 10-15 leader, gives me the chance to un-snag

[@nanokcasts9187]

I’m a black panther martin kind a guy. It never fails. But the cast master finds the fish further down. I’m addicted

[@alfredsartwell5659]

Mepps xd does both

[@tmckay5684]

Great video as always! I would like to see Vibrax vs Panther Martin.

[@darylchristman6505]

Where I live, in the Sweet Home/Lebanon area of Oregon, my best producer is the pink or red Roostertail. Though I have to say, I had a pink spoon Mepps that was out producing everything this year until my son lost it in a tree.

[@rakkup7572]

Martin for me. Cast masters are super fun and work on tons of species. Inshore saltwater (30” snook on the cast master) beach fishing, same lure catching trout in the mountains. I’ve just been more successful on the panther. Love it.

[@SledorFish]

I like it when Little looks at Jordan after releasing a fish.

[@Dj.fishing084]

I just bought three of those exact panther Martin's. Black and yellow with the gold

[@rperry70]

My favorite Panther martin color was the chartreuse blade with the black body. Not sure they are made anymore. They were killer.

[@jamesdent5737]

What size PM works for y’all? I have been switching in between the 1/4 and 1/8 oz and cannot decide what I think works better?

[@lonewolfwoodworks6802]

Have you guys seen the new DualFlash double bladed panther Martin's? Just ordered a bunch and a few of their WillowStrikes

[@gabepettinicchio7454]

Hi Jordan. When using the Panther Martin ... How do you deal with or minimize ''line twist?''

[@geronimoventi6914]

I love panther martin. One of 2 favorite in line spinner along with mepps obviously. Favorite panther is the gold, red, and copper tone version.

[@johndake294]

Panther Martin hands down one of the best lures ive ever used. Green and gold thunder bug in the 90s was good to.

[@tedmoyer587]

I love the silver blade with yellow and red body. That panther Martin is killer here in Colorado

[@grant0410]

Oh shoot I may have seen you out there. I like to fish behind the islands were the creek flows in also, catch a lot of brooders back there

[@M.Redsky]

i've got a light action kokanee rod but seated for a baitcast reel. Can i go trouting just fine with such a set up?

[@outdoorsanimalsandmusic3014]

Panther Martin is my favorite small stream trout lure. Usually summer time. For lakes a good ole Maribou jig under a bobber kills it for me

[@grumpyboomer9107]

@Addicted Fishing What is the size lures are you using for you KastMaster spoons

[@genedavis759]

Also 1st lure is the test version to find where fish are holding .

[@notblazedfordays9536]

New to fishing here. If I was going for salmon would I do the same presentation of the 2 you mentioned with the kastmaster?

[@Zak_zookie]

Used to live on that lake and the kastmasters has always produced more for me. My PB bass and trout have came from there

[@livingthepnwdream1689]

You guys always seem to impress me and satisfy me thx 👍💪

[@jager9825]

I wanna fish with you just because of your energize and enthusiasm!

[@jessesanchez2834]

Can the panther martin black and gold spinner work to catch trout in muddy lakes

[@adventureswithbear]

For just straight up head to head I always reach for the PM first. But if I have small pink plastic worms I'll put one on a Kastmaster and hook up pretty much every cast.

[@georgemerwin9734]

Looks like the line is tied to the split ring on the kastmaster. I seem to remember a video where the recommendation was to tie line directly to the spoon on the kastmaster. I’ve heard people say even a snap swivel will work if a person was wanting to try different kastmaster lures in succession. I would think the snap swivel would have a funny presentation and not attract fish. I’ve used snap swivels with the panther martins and have landed plenty of fish. I’m sure the advice would be to try everything and what works best use that, but any thoughts,tips, or suggestions greatly appreciated.

[@johnsurf509]

The yes master spoon good in salt water too!!If you doing the strait reeling tec, then let it drop once in a while ,then start reeling again.Dirty water darker color??

[@jnjn2729]

Sharked the PM.really like these versus videos and can't wait for the challenge one coming

[@ljoutdoors906]

Really enjoyed this one guys I would have to say Panther Martin is quite a bit better in the waters I fish! Panther Martin, Pros: I would say a lot better for creeks easy to keep it up high up in the water column and out of snags and I feel like my hook up ratio is a little better too but could just be me. Cons: I feel like they could beef up the wire a little bit on the small ones at least it bends really easy, smaller versions also seem to have a hard time staying deep unless there is a split shot pegged ahead and I do not generally like to do that cause then it spins and tangles while casting, and of course compared to the Kastmaster lack of casting distance. Kastmaster, Pros: Of course you can bomb these also a bit easier to fish deeper water and still fish bottom, more versatile too you can jig it, reel it and do whatever you were doing in the video also. Cons: Really easy to snag in shallow water I also do not have a super great hook up ratio but that could also be because I fish a lot of super aggressive small brookies... So for me it would be Panther Martin but like you were saying it depends a lot upon conditions, depth of water, clarity of water, temp and multitude of other factors!!

[@johncremeans969]

Using cast masters of a much larger size we can actually feather the spoon sliding back forth in the water moving away from you you can get the thing to feather in big swoops while staying in contact with the line the whole time it takes time to learn but you can transfer it to the feather light little guys you be using for trout

[@mileshardin6906]

can you use 15 pound braid on my shimano sienna 500 ultralight that is meant for 4 pound mono?

[@colecarpenter712]

My grandma owned a house in that cove. This is literally where I learned to fish and caught my first fish 25 years ago.

[@donaldtouma2612]

Didn't someone ask for this video yesterday on the live stream? If so that was a quick response

[@todddreher1220]

You should have tried the yellow and red also cuz that I have found a blx14 trout also let alone bass and others

[@kimcallahan9693]

Love your videos. Ironically my favorite two lures for fishing Trout are the 1. Panther-Martin Spinner, Black/Gold & 2. Kastmaster Spoon Blue/Silver. Your challenge videos are great. I love Trout fishing and enjoy my fishing trips to the Black Hills of South Dakota. I use both of the above lures and have had great success with each. A question for you. I have some small spinners with red-colored treble hooks. Supposedly these act as an additional attractor for these lures. Do you agree or disagree with that analogy? Thanks, keep up the great videos. Kim Callahan South Dakota

[@01superduty89]

Ive been Kayak fishing a lot small Lakes in the Puget sound area of WA this spring. I have been killing it with the Holo Panther Martin Series, best fishing ive done on lakes. Jordan, I remember in past videos you were speaking more highly of Light 10lb braid with or without a bumper, now it sounds like you are talking more highly of heavier braid. Im currently on 10lb with a 8lb bumper. Which do you think I could get longer casts from using Small Spinners, since I have tons of room to cast? I really appreciate your videos, Im from Long island, NY, in the exact town Panther Martin has its headquartes, but I grew up surf fishing the Atlantic. I am very new to Trout fishing so I have been binging this content! Ill take anyones advice whos willing to give!

[@fairladyz9957]

How long should the leader be on a cast master and spoon

[@gekkoukasane]

Is the blue fox a good replacement for panther Martin if I can’t find any?

[@matthewparker5885]

When fishing with spoons, do I need to add any weight or split shot to line?

[@keithsaulsbury4304]

which one os better will depend on the conditons. one is not better than the other.

[@tomhorne6172]

I have had much success with the Panther Martin, black with yellow spots and yellow with red spots.

[@247DrainAndSewer]

Do you leave the bail open to let the spinner drift downstream ? I’m new to fishing and was wondering about this. I see guys having their spinners drift downstream, do you need to leave the bail open to do this ? I would think so but I’m not sure. Thanks.

[@wilsonflanders878]

They both have their time and place ,great video

[@johnwoods1688]

Yep. No other way to put it

[@weswalters6825]

Did you see the river otters back there? Something has cleanly bit me off multiple times there.

[@JesseG085]

Do you guys ever tip lures with nightcrawlers?

[@mikekelly1091]

They're both awesome lures but I'd like to see the panther Martin or Kastmaster up against the old tried and true super duper I've been fishing with it since I was five I'm 60 now. The one with the little red mark on the end of the bar😎😉

[@davidwilliams3643]

Any reason you don't use BlueFox lures - Vibrax? Also, would be nice if you did a video where you explained why you'd use different options - spinners/spoons, dough bait/power eggs, trout worms/mouse tails, worms, flys, etc. - in different situations on a lake.

[@elisjournal4435]

Nice video mate! Interesting to see the spinner competition

[@ML-mq7zq]

Lures are fun to me. But never caught anything on it. Worms and power bait have gotten me trout. But still new at this whole thing

[@Pyan1]

powerbait typically works better for stocked trout. lures are great for most wild trout. this isn't to say that one can't catch the other, but just what your best chances probably are. worms will work great for anything! it's all about using what the trout's primary diet is. good luck!

[@GRILLBUOY101]

nice trout on the pm bro.i never caught a fish besides a sunfish on the bare hook spinners either pm or rooster tail.i like the blue fox vibrax # 3 & 4 in white hackel .theh fo t make any more .the colirs they find make that i had were yellow. white ,black and i had a red one. the good ones from rooster tail are yellow tiger & fire tiger vibric modeling

[@gv1071]

In my opinion... I can't catch anything with the Kastmaster, and I jig it just like you did in the video. That exact Panther Martin is a killer. Just today, I crushed trout easily over 1 lbs, and my biggest was 2 lbs. Panther Martin all the way.

[@evan4664]

Funny Story I caught carp with the Panther Martin... 5 min later caught myself on the duel coloured cast master 😆😆😆 both work great

[@AddictedFishing]

Nice!!

[@outdoorssmith5454]

Do panther martins come in one color only or multiple, or are there just few that are effective

[@dangood5080]

Love these challenge videos

[@ML-ks2lj]

I like braid because it doesn't stretch to much gives me that sensitivity in my hands I need. I don't have hardly any feeling in my finger tips and my hands are getting worse too lol

[@monkeysuncle21]

Used both a panther Martin and a kastmaster today. Only brought home one trout and it was on the kastmaster

[@northvanbcfishing3454]

That’s true even my 8lbs braided line tangles a lot so I bougth a 15lbs braided line and also I’m using 20lbs and 30lbs braided line 😁👍. I’m fishing rainbow trout with trout magnet + additional of my magic power (it’s my secret) and in one day I got 15 bobber down, 2 lost 8 landed & 4 release! 😁👍

You should try the hd trout lure. Best one out there in my opinion

[@thewoodmansk5510]

I do love the the cast master, but I definitely throw a spinner far more often

[@matthewhall7291]

Did you add any weight to it at all? Or just straight up the weight from the lure itself?

[@robertbaril7245]

Is there tricks to getting that spring effect outta a freshly spooled real or is the a best way to spool you reel

[@Sledgefist1]

Can you please do a Little Cleo red and gold with sharpie painted in the back black(you have to paint it yourself) vs the Vibrax Blue fox flasher #1 blue color. Please try it, they both work soooooooooo good!

[@maxbrand7381]

Did my own vs and I was sure my trusty gold kastmaster would win but the Panther Martin gold with black and yellow body was a slayer.
