REVIEW: Savage Gear 3D Snake Topwater Lure

[@MIlManMatty]

Cracking vids m8 i just started lure fishing and the way you explain stuff in depth is quality. Thanks for sharing, Subbed 🍻

[@IBandAndyFishing]

very kind Matt, really appreciated it. Hoping to get some more lure vlogs up soon!

[@jeffgauthier6216]

Just so u know u had it backwards. The one right next to the bill makes it float with a slowish steady retrieve. The one on the chin makes it dive a lil bit

[@deanmeat3427]

hi I.B. and andy, first video I've watched of yours. you 2 are naturals on camera, funny as well as informative and not up yourselves like some youtubers are! you have a new subscriber keep up the good work! 🤘

[@deanmeat3427]

p.s. keep using the 3d snake! I used mine for the 1st time yesterday (shallow park lake) and had 2 jacks, I found that on long casts sink the tip and then sink the line properly and the snake will stay at about 12 inches under the surface until really close in. can not wait to use it in summer when they're really on the move!

[@IBandAndyFishing]

That's super kind, thanks Daniel! We'll try to keep them coming- what kind of videos do you like to see? I've retired the snakes until it warms up a bit, they'll only end up in trees otherwise 🙈😂

[@deanmeat3427]

@@IBandAndyFishing You're welcome! the kind of videos I like to see, just regular people enjoying their hobby, not taking it or themselves too seriously, well filmed and well presented, informative.. just keep doing what you're doing, don't change too much, and the channel will grow from strength to strength 😊

[@098chaze]

Aye cheers buddy I like the video bro! Keep up the good work, Much Love from Boulder Colorado, USA! ✌

Few weeks ago, fished a team match which I won on an individual front but only 7th as a team. Last weekend fished Talybont Reservoir in Wales. Had 20 brownies between 2 of us over 2 days. Wind was blowing like crazy but the fish were on the bite

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Well done, that’s a great result. We fished the Eyebrook reservoir last weekend for pike, so I know what you mean about the wind! The whole past week the wind was crazy 💨💨💨💨💨💨 !

[@jaquesdaniels2964]

I like the review system, theres a lot of softbaits out there of varying quality, probably, like a lot of folks, I bought cheapy ones, which are now in the bin or on keyrings, so your review system suits me. Re topwater, I've never caught on it (except stripping back muddler minnows for trout in UK), but fish over here are mega spooky, I still try as there are some humungous snags. Some lakes over here have been stocked with black bass, so I will have go for them sometime.I also like to see "blanks" and difficult days-you watch most youtube vids and see fish being caught left right n centre , so good on you for showing the tough days. I can see why Andy is (trying) to grow a beard now, maybe he's thinking of sticking some of the beard on his head LOL. Got the same hairstyle myself, saves on shampoo and barbers, and you never get a bad hair day, plus I'm a biker so I dont get helmet hair either. For me, I would not pay that price for one until I have caught a few times on the surface, I like the action in the water though.

[@nightcap7209]

I think for confidence you have to rate it based on the idea that you would only reach for it in the right situation and in that situation how confident would you be.

[@FanterFishing]

Nice review both, Have seen the debates online regarding this, I personally love top water. Have to agree with IB with colours, our native species of snakes are not overly colourful, that being said ive not seen many frog/duck hybrids in the wild lately lol. See you on the next one.

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Thanks! At least someone agrees with me 😂😂😂 Have you been out recently? IB xx

[@FanterFishing]

@@IBandAndyFishing went out at the weekend on the ultra light setup for a couple hours, fair few perch/wasps and a 8lb pike. Got 3 days out on the Norfolk broads this week though so can't wait for that. :)

[@IBandAndyFishing]

That will be really nice! I miss fishing the broads. Amazing place, my PB pike is from there, so I wish you a PB pike from there too! IB xxx

[@edwinjonkman]

Nice revieuw-vid. I normaly not like the much talking vid's, but this was interesting and fun to watch.

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Thanks Edwin, that's really kind! Have you tried the snake before?

[@edwinjonkman]

No I didn't trie the snake, but like the action of it. In that way I also believe that the snake will catch a lot off anglers lol. But I believe it must be fun catching with such a kind of lure. Catching on topwater is always fun.

[@danram69]

i see you are using the okuma helios fixed reel how do you rate it ?

[@shartlinemcdingleberries7532]

Ive got to pick some of these up for next year!

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Look the business don't they?!

[@shartlinemcdingleberries7532]

@@IBandAndyFishing Oh yeah, the bass are gonna destroy em next year!

[@jamesbarron1202]

Try wrapping lead wire around the front hook to get it down

[@IBandAndyFishing]

That's a good call James, I might just try it! Have you used the snake at all?

[@jamesbarron1202]

@@IBandAndyFishing I bass fish but never tried it.

[@IBandAndyFishing]

You should definitely try it - reckon they'd work?

[@mikegallagher1967]

@@jamesbarron1202 they do work on bass, there is a few vids on here of them catching with snakes

[@jaquesdaniels2964]

If that lure won't sink to your required depth, you might try an inline spiral lead (if you can still buy such kit) we had them to pull down floating plugs, there were also flat half moon leads, essentially a lead washer, you folded them in half. over the line; I think they were also used with dead baits and Jardine tackle. I just checked- spiral leads can still be foundwww.sharnbrooktackle.com/acatalog/Spiral-Leads-342.html, half moon leads can be made with small hole saw in a drill I would guess, maybe make some copper ones-not sure if they would work though.Pinch a small shot below the weights to stop them sliding.

[@mattpjsmith]

Not really fair that you didn’t fish it in the right conditions. You said it yourself. Nice videos though 😀

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Yeah, we tried to not factor the 2 blanks in to the scoring, it's a tough one for a topwater in October! I think we'll do it again next spring. Have you tried them? Thanks for the view!

[@mattpjsmith]

Ieva and Andy Fishing no not tried one. Might get one for next summer. I imagine it will work well running by reeded margins where there are eels and the odd snake present.

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Totally agree, it just isn't the time of year for it!

[@andrevanaardt4846]

Not something I would buy, but interesting to see your thoughts.

[@IBandAndyFishing]

I can’t wait for spring time to give it a fair go for those fired up pike🐊🐊🐊. Have you been catching a few Andre? IB xx

[@damianowens5066]

Hi I like the concept of what you are doing but how about one of you using the new lure and the other using a similar action tried and tested lure that way if one is catching and one isn't you can rule out the conditions ??? Enjoyed the video nice one 😁😉👍

[@IBandAndyFishing]

I love the idea, but if we do that Ieva will catch more fish than me on whatever she uses, and I'll be busted! Thanks for the kind words! Andy

They do a pure black one as well 🐠 🎣 🐍

I ordered that one originally, but when they stocked these in the dark one was still out of shock.. so I called to swap the lures as couldn’t wait 👀 not the patient type 😂 IB x

[@Kernow-lerf]

Awesome 😎

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Thanks David! I just replied to your email, apologies for the delay

[@scamlikely1442]

Didn't st patrick get rid of all the snakes where you're at? That's what I was told

[@boucher1086]

next time show us the action in the water

[@IBandAndyFishing]

True enough, I did try to film it on my own but I couldn't get it right 👍

[@delwigzieful]

The only success on snake lures i had was when we went to USA fishing the Everglades it was absolutely crazy fishing i recommend going to the USA lure fishing i go every year but with this virus and world Lockdown that's looking very unlikely i don't rate snake lures in the uk they just don't do it for me ALIEN

[@irmantasaksionovas6117]

Savage gear suicide Duck.... are mine most successful lure which I fished with it... pike really really didn't liked that duck going on surface 😕🤣🤣🤣 and almost 😳 all the time tried to destroy that little duck
