Pick A Blade Bait NOT a Lipless Crankbait

[@genoadams2463]

Humble people that show true gratitude make it feel like a win for everyone.

[@BassGeek]

Thank you and I agree. I love my Geeks.

[@rvfishingyet]

You are doing a great job with the channel. Glad you have a solid partner with Baitwrx for 2024. Congrats Hank!

[@BassGeek]

Thank ya sir it’s been fun

[@danielpomponio4967]

I dont think ive ever used a blade bait like the vailt. Being further north than you, my boat is winterized until april (which sucks). So by the time i hit the water its prespawn. Plus, without a livescope, i pound the shoreline mostly. Keep putting out the videos. #BAITWRX

[@BassGeek]

That does suck. But in clear water try this in open water like you would a lipless. You'll love it.

[@jrjeter1]

Never used a blade. Thanks for the good info Hank. Appreciate the help trying out new baits.

[@BassGeek]

Man I love it. It's my clear water trap.

[@TWC6724]

Thanks Hank. That blade bait looks interesting. I’ve never used one before. Definitely am wanting to try one out.

[@BassGeek]

You can use it like a jigging spoon or a lipless or anything in-between.

[@runarjans]

Blade lures are so good, especially in deep water or when you stand somewhere higher than the actual water. Can be fished vertical, horizontal, trolling... they don't fall apart after 5 fish and cast to outer space😂

[@RevnedC]

Great underwater footage. I had never seen a blade bait in action before and I like it.

[@BassGeek]

Thank you we try to get it and be better

[@JustFishing1489]

I am looking forward to trying some blade baits once the ice is melted. I am hoping to have a boat to fish from in the next few months and that will make it easier to get over the deeper water.

[@BassGeek]

It's a blast and you should use it as a trap also.

[@TeamJesusOutdoors]

Killer box. Good anywhere in the Country!

[@BassGeek]

Yes sir

[@johnlong8157]

#BAITWRX another great video Hank. Congratulations on all the channels success!!! You definitely deserve it sir !!!!!!

[@BassGeek]

Thank you I just love to tinker and love to fisb

[@raskol13]

Hey Bass Geek!... another great video... will be throwing some vaults and dyna vibration x this week! But been having good results with lipless too! Keep up the great content! Cheers! #BAITWRX

[@BassGeek]

Thanks.

[@hammer9856]

I agree the Damiki Vault is the gold standard. But a couple of others you might want to try is the Rapala Rippin Blade and a hybrid between a blade and lipless design the Rapala V Blade. I've had good success with both. #BAITWRX

[@BassGeek]

Got'em and I think I did a short on them.

[@markdebiak8096]

Been trying to learn the spoon recently but 2 baits I wanted to try this year was specifically the 110 jr and the Vault so this box got me excited. Blade baits are definitely changing the way many fish and I don't want to be behind the curve this time. #baitwrx 💪

[@BassGeek]

Hey good luck then!

[@brin66itm59]

Nice, I learn a lot from your suggestions.

[@BassGeek]

Thanks and your right they are just suggestions. I want to spark people to think about things they can do differently to catch more fish.

[@davidwilliams1805]

#BAITWRX Great video Hank! Some really nice baits and info! The vault is definitely my favorite blade bait! It has great vibration to it. Thanks for sharing this my friend! Keep up the great work buddy! #100PWS

[@BassGeek]

Thank ya sir and good luck

[@secretbassrigs]

Nice! We really need a box like this! Good going Hank!

[@BassGeek]

Hahahabthats a lot of wrk

[@secretbassrigs]

@@BassGeek the pressure is on..... But I don't think any monthly prescription boxes exist that focus on smaller more innovative companies, like I'm assuming they will.

[@DividedWeAllFall]

I have recently bought a bunch of different brand blade baits. I haven't tried the Damiki Vault ones I got yet, but I just can't get bit on one. I am jigging it off the bottom. Barely lifting/popping the rod for a small vibration and letting it fall. Guess I'm just not in the right areas.

[@BassGeek]

Just keep after it. You'll hit it and have the bait dialed in.

[@alanbontumasi5078]

Great video, nice box. It be cool to get those awesome baits. Fish on! I didn’t know you have to pay to enter for a bass geek box.

[@BassGeek]

No you don't have to pay? Just add the text. I have to pay for the box. LOL

[@basslesschap346]

Well Hank, you know I have been with you for a number of years, never won diddly !, but thats ok, I feel like watching your videos is a constant win as far as I'm concerned, thanks #BAITWRX

[@BassGeek]

Hahahaha

[@LowBrowFishing]

#100percentwatchsquad You are so right about those cheaper bait wraps! I got a few of the pricier ones from Academy I think it was, and they had some sort of "reinforcing weave" on them. All that did was get hung up in the trebled and make things a pain. I switched to cheap wraps with a clear plastic. No problems since then.

[@BassGeek]

I've used them for YEARS now.

[@Fishboy68]

Another great video Hank love the cold water tips!! # Baitwrx

[@BassGeek]

Thanks

[@nickkoski7111]

#BAITWRX loving the content sir! Fished a blade today and realized I ran out of vaults. This was a great reminder. Something about them gets bit better than the rest!

[@BassGeek]

Yes they do

[@robertmonroe2665]

You gave us another rockin video Hank. I dont have a 110jr or one of those blade baits. I would sure like to win them and add them to my Arsenal. Your the best brother 🎣🔥 #BAITWRX #100percentwatchsquad

[@BassGeek]

They are to of my go to lures.

[@limpingfisherman1509]

Nice video Hank Thanks

[@BassGeek]

Get’em

[@BassGeek]

Thanks

[@josephkoby8183]

Would I be ok to use a 7:3:1 or 7:4:1 gear ratio reel weather it’s on 7’ or 7’1” medium heavy rod? Or should I stay like a 6:3 on a moderate medium heavy rod. Just want a little of your insight. And as always, keep those videos coming, man I love watching your channel. Be cool to get to fish with you! 🙌👊

[@BassGeek]

Yeah man it should be fine. Now as you get deeper you will lose feel but you can make it work

[@BobbyHawkins-kc8ik]

#BAITWRX Awesome video Hank! Thanks for the tips. Ive had some Vaults for 2 years now and still havnt tried it. Getting out later in the week and i will definitely have one tied on! Thanks again!!!

[@BassGeek]

Go gett'em man.

[@wpgordone352]

Really enjoyed the video, Hank !! I just got some of those DAMIKI Vaults to try'em out !! What is the best weight to use ?? I got 3/8 and several 1/2 ounce ! #BaitWrx !!

[@BassGeek]

Really just depends on the depth and how ya fishing it

[@bassinmike8478]

I like fishing the blade bait with a spinning reel medium fast

[@BassGeek]

It’s a good way to do it

[@bassinmike8478]

@@BassGeek I normally do it for walleye fishing and smallmouth in the rivers Best bait Cold water fishing I also make my own blade Baits

#BAITWRK blade bait is a bait I haven't used much & probably should. But fishing from the bank mostly this time of year.

[@BassGeek]

They make killer small 1/4oz

[@madmattfishing]

Great video man. Always so informative! This is kind of off topic, but im picking up a bfs reel from ark. Do you know of any of tbere rods that are good for a bfs setup?

[@BassGeek]

The best bang for the buck has to be the one from Jenko and I use one from Daiwa

[@brandonmerideth5450]

#BAITWRX Awesome video and great box! I have two home lakes near me both about 15 minutes from the house one is a deep highland resovoir filled with rock and sand with no vegetation and the other only gets about 40 foot max and has a ton of vegetation however in the grass lake I found a school in a deeper part of the creek channel and I caught so many on a Berkley Frittside 9 so I went back to is it them this weekend before we get a ton of rain and wind it was like the calm before the storm and they didn’t want the Frittside they just wanted a little 3 inch spark shad bouncing off the bottom on a ball head however as the wind picked up I switched over to the damiki vault and they weren’t getting it very good so I switched over to a shad colored red eye shad and I think the noise and maybe the larger size the found it better and I started getting them into the kayak

[@BassGeek]

Heck yeah I’m ready to roll.
