Spring Pond Fishing with a Cotton Cordell Lipless Crankbait

[@MrSweetloustyles]

Thank you for picking that trash up! I’m always that guy pulling trash out of the water. Glad to know I’m not the only one.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yea, I do what I can. I could do better and pick up everything that I see but i would need a huge bag lol. Anything helps though!

[@dudeam7525]

Cotton Cordell are really good I caught a 21inch walleye last time. Best day ever!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Heck yeah man, sounds like a good day to me! Love the cotton cordell!

[@mikaltrevino7301]

and they’re reasonably priced compared to other bait brands

[@zubertish]

If it's spring and bass , when you roll outta bed... Fish any color you like, as long as it's red! Lots of bass fisher types add mono leaders of various lengths to their braid lines... for contained stretch. Helps them from making bass all religious...holey... lol. Give that a go before you dump the braid. Braid is great especially when we're fond of frog or punch fishing... helps pull those monsters out and away from trees/ bushes... Great video... love the bank fishing.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Couldn't agree more man. I really only add a leader to braid for topwater poppers or walking baits. I've messed with it in other situations and I'm just not a fan on lures that I'm casting. I know a lot of guys who swear by it. All just a personal preference thing. You got that right about the red, it has been doing work!

[@manrod4871]

I've learned something new today then. The only reason why I love mono leader is because of the friction resistance. I didn't know about the "holey" fishes. Anyway thanks to lot guys. You have a nice channel. Keep it that way

[@DEBOSFishing]

@@manrod4871 appreciate you watching and being able to help out. Have a good weekend!

[@michaelfischerbassmaster]

Hey Debo, thanks for the conversation about red lures a few videos back. I appreciated the dialogue. I am really excited to toss the red lipless crankbaits I bought over the winter. You are convincing me that my "investment" in red lures will pay off. Guys, I have no affiliation with WalMart (in fact I'm a big pro union guy) but check around your local WalMart for boxes of discounted lures called "Bait Bonanza." If you are lucky you can find a nice assortment of Cotton Cordell Super Spots, in colors such as Red Craw, in both the 1/4 oz. and 1/2 oz. sizes. You can hopefully also find some Cotton Cordell Big O Squarebills and some Cotton Cordell C.C. Rattlin' Shads. Best of all the price per lure is $1.99!!! If you find a "Bait Bonanza" box count your blessings and STOCK UP!!!!

[@anthonyreeder8283]

I now almost always have a small one knocker or some type of lipless to start out with cause they work so well.

[@DEBOSFishing]

They really do man. Great lures in the spring.

[@BondMay]

Good job friend. I love fishing. Share update video friend

[@RyanMcIntyre]

That is a great tip - to pick ONE bait and work with it for the whole year. I tend to try to overthink and try to figure out what conventional wisdom would dictate I use. I'm going to start doing this, master one bait per year.

Yep, I said inwas going to do two this year but really just did one. Worked on my dropshot skills this year. Thanks for watching man 👊👊👊

Just tried the Cotton Cordell super spot a few days ago. Never used lures till this season. Tried a few husky jerks and crankbaits but never really got the hang of it. Tried my silver super shot 2nd cast nailed a decent Northern. About 17 inches now its my favorite lure. I get hits every time I've used it so far.

[@DEBOSFishing]

It's a video very close to that!!! Thanks for watching 👊

[@garrettswanson6502]

i have braid to leader or straight braid on all my combos except my ultra light. for me its mainly a money saving thing.... dont have to change braid as much as fluorocarbon the no stretch or memory is a bonus. i do have my drag set to where its a little more than enough to get the hooks to penetrate.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yea, I could have turned the drag down more. The no stretch and sensitivity of braid is hard to beat!

[@robertarnold3967]

Have you ever done a video on the type of rods that are best for a specific kind of presentation? What to look for or the do's and don'ts.

[@DEBOSFishing]

I have done some focusing on a specific lure. I'll try to get more of those up again!

[@brianrobinson9979]

Matt and Tim (Tactical Bassin) recommend mono if you're ripping a lipless out of grass because of the stretch it allows the bait to slowly accelerate away from the grass which gives the bass time to grab it unlike with straight braid which will pull it away way to fast when ripping it

[@DEBOSFishing]

I didn't have any problems pulling it away, but the whole setup was too stout. Yea, mono would have been perfect on this rod. Those two dudes know their stuff! Thanks for watching man!

Sweet dude!👊👊👊

[@Jon-nz3dm]

Softer rod+ mono leader. even if the leader is short, just need a foot or two of mono leader and a medium rod to make that setup perfect

[@DEBOSFishing]

Completely agree man. I would normally use a softer rod with copolymer. However, wanted to test this. I'm not a huge fan of leaders on my casting rigs but you're 100% correct about a mono leader. Thanks for watching!

[@levicam5063]

Thanks for your honest and unbiased opinions on all the different setups and reel reviews you do. Keep up the great work sir

[@DEBOSFishing]

You're welcome man and thanks for watching! Baitcaster take a bit to learn but I really enjoy them. Just a bit of practice and you'll be good. Tight lines and thanks for becoming a #verifiedfeeshinfriend

[@134rwa]

I am pleasantly surprised at the success I've been having on a lipless crankbait, I lost my red ones to snags last year, and when I went to replace that color, the store was out! So I picked up a couple of shad color schemed Strike Kings, and they have been working just fine, even caught a 3lb 5oz Snakehead on it. I do have on 30lb test braid, but on a medium rod, and I haven't noticed holes being ripped in my catches, perhaps the medium power works well with that braid, but I also am not setting the hook extra hard like I would for frog fishing.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yea, all very good points. Just pulling into the fish on a medium rod will make a difference. I would love to do some topwater snakehead fishing!

[@hunterthompson5596]

I fish medium-heavy rods with braid, my rods have a soft tip and I fish lighter 30-35 lb braid. I like lighter wire trebles and don't try to over power the fish, I've never cought a fish and found holes in their mouth like that. Not sure what part of my set up helps that but I would recommend trying lighter braid (maybe even a leader to give a little stretch) and a soft tip, possibly even lighter wire hooks. Again I'm far from a professional and I'm not saying anyone is wrong for fishing like that but it works for me if you want to give it a try.

[@DEBOSFishing]

No you're completely right. I advise the same things you stated. Softer rod, line with stretch, lighter wire hooks. I've just had a lot of folks say "try this" and I did to show why I normally don't use a setup like that for trebel hooks. Thanks for the comment and feedback man, always appreciate hearing how others do it. I'm no pro either brother 👊

Personally I fish almost all of my crankbaits and things like that on braid. I use a very soft rod that bends back (learned from Debo’s feeshin) and have had a lot of luck consistently for a year or two.

Yes, a soft rod would definitely have made a big difference. The instant hookset on braid is great though. Glad my vids have helped man. Thanks for watching 👊👊👊

[@azscout9071]

Was just talking to a buddy about that same issue with braid. Love it on my finesse rods but they are med/light. When I'm fishing a lake with heavy grass I'll use it. Otherwise I'm a fluorocarbon mono copolymer kind of guy.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Agreed man. The sensitivity and no stretch is really hard to beat though. I was also casting directly into the wind with no issues. May have to try braid more lol

[@azscout9071]

@@DEBOSFishing line choice is always a anglers preference. It's up to an individual to figure out what works best for them. I just thought it was funny I had that conversation with a friend the day before. When I tried to use braid on a jig or a t-rig in open water I was tearing up the fish. I'm about to build a magnum t-rig combo for those big stick'o worms and all the other stuff I throw like 10" magnum trick worms giant 13 to 16 inch ribbon tails.

Love those Cotton Cordell Lipless! I also use the Ozark Trail ones from Walmart and have had great luck with them. I used to change out the cheapo hooks the OT's came with, but ever since they started using Eagle Claw hooks I've had no issues with landing fish. I still change out the ones on the CC's though. What type of braid were you using? It seemed really quiet coming through the guides and while fighting those fish.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice! We just recently got the ozark trail lures. I had only heard about them before. Its the daiwa j-braid x4. I believe it's 30# or 50#. I was going to check and don't have the box. It casts well into the wind!

since you moved to braid does the color of braid going to make a big difference.? Just asking since i am using yellow braid should i even bother tying a crankbait on the end with that color.? what about if i tie a small flouro leader?

If it's really dirty/ muddy water, I use natural colored braid and don't tie a leader. If it's clearer water, I'd use a leader.

Try to keep them away from wood. They don't do well with wood. Rocks you can bounce them off of. Vegetation just give it a quick stiff POP and it should come free. If you keep sinking too fast and going to the bottom, drop down to a lighter weight. Hope this helps!
