OTTS IS AND VANDAM ARE CLASS GUYS, I WATCH WHEN I CAN

[@davidchaffin6980]

I tried your technique yesterday at Lake of the Ozarks, water temp at 42, and caught my first spotted bass of the year. Thanks!

[@gregduncan3636]

Thanks for all you do for the fans . that little #5 is a bad dude

[@joenoel3871]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I love how you are not afraid to praise God in all you do as well. See you in heaven my brother and sister

[@tyhorton2196]

Used this technique in cold, off colored water with bright skies yesterday and caught my first two bass of the year! Never would’ve tried this without this video. Keep up the good work!

[@malcolmzoll7613]

A lot of great information Ott, Thank you again

[@binkwood]

This is a fishing video with some REAL information! Thank you, looking forward to the next "Technique Of The Month".

[@dysisjoel]

This is where I come to learn. Thank you for the well explained technique!

[@deborahotis4015]

Once again was fishing today. Got zero bites fir a while. Threw on my shad rap 7 and started blistering them. No deflection unless it hit a tree limb which normally keeps them when you're speed ceanking. Burn then stop. Over and over . they go crazy, sometimes. My best today was 3ish. Was shallow back short shallow pockets of lakes between small points. I would a been better off with the shallow rap. Saw every strike. LOVE IT.

[@johndollar5561]

Ott, I think this is money. To hear your ideas and information for comparison is what a lot of us weekenders need to help improve our fishing and to help build our confidence in our decision abilities. You have hit on something with the two going hand in hand!$$$

[@Bassman74]

Thank you for your help

[@basslife_209]

Wow what a great technique, well explained and I cant wait to use it.

[@douglasspickler4925]

Great information Ott thanks for sharing. This time of year I like the shad rap on Buggs Island. I like the XPS fluorocarbon and have used it for years. I have always wondered who makes it for BPS.

[@jayzilla484]

Good video. First I’ve watched on your channel. I subscribed cause I use finesse crank bait and have the BPS JOHNNY MORRIS PLATINUM SPINNING REEL AND ROD.

[@zoommaster7253]

I love tossin that #5 and had hard time finding correct rod. Looks like I’m heading to bass pro. Thanks mike from ct

[@troycrippen2629]

Great video! I've got the perfect ML spinning combo all set up and several #5 shad raps. Didn't think they'd be that shallow, next time out if there's any color to the water I'm gonna do that

[@dirtlegchaser2424]

AND IF THERES NOT!?!!?

[@s.allison7406]

Best teaching video that you have made great info. Can you tell me do you change out the hooks on the small crank baits and if so what type do you use? Thanks

[@greenpighunter6930]

Excellent

[@chrisfoley3320]

You left out Virginia man, the shad rap rules here in early prespawn. I would like to have all the money that's been won on a shad rap. Great show man.

[@chrisboyd1408]

Thanks for sharing. Is it ok to buy the BPS Johnnie Morris Signature Platinum bait cast and spin combo's for year 'round fishing for most non-pros? It seems to me most non-pro's could gain the benefits and keep it simple without changing rods and reels. I could be wrong, though.

[@drivehard18]

Ott, Are you using 15 pound braid to a 8 pound floro leader with your spinning set-up?

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

10lb braid and 8lb leader

[@toddmiller8854]

Thanks awesome video great tips

[@raynaldosoliz6755]

Great stuff, keep it up

[@chaunceydavis5290]

Great vid Ott, what size hooks do you use on the # 5 shad rap, and # 7.
