Testing SUPER Realistic Lure VS Simple Lure. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY...

We are testing 2 types of fishing lures today. The super realistic lure is a "Live Target" brand lure made of soft plastic and imitates a sardine or a small shad, the simple lure is a " Rattle Trap" made of hard plastic and has metal BB's inside that makes a rattling noise to entice the attention of predator fish. Each of these lures work well, but which works best for our fishing on the beach? Let's find out!
If you have more questions you can text me to join our exclusive Hey Skipper Squad! text "SQUAD" to my phone number [phone] and we'll text you right back! 😄

[@dennisyamasaki6830]

[@gino55yo]

Hello, thank you very nice video nice to watch as a family. Could you make a video with the sabiki. I practice this technique with my daughter but I do not master it properly from the beach or rocks. Thank you and good luck to you .

[@jakobsime4190]

Surf fishing is a blast man cannot wait to go to NJ in a week for stripers

[@williambenner701]

Wake and bake?? 🤔 I never heard that expression used in terms of fishing before!😂 When fishing for Bluefish, I will ALWAYS use a metal lure. My experience is that schooling Bluefish will hit almost anything, especially silver colored. So the rattletrap has my vote for sure. However those other lures look great, but I just prefer simplesaty. My favorite would be some kind of spoon. That's just me! This was a fun video to watch, for the Bluefish bite was ON FIRE!🔥

[@henrygarrison1613]

We always bake, than fish.....wake first!

[@master-diver5832]

New subscriber. Love your channel! Recently bought new Rattle Trap (coincidentally),, and 10 minutes later, caught a redfish in the local bayou with a $15 kiddie reel (just for fun)!

[@HeySkipper]

[@rona7xfandragonballzfan247]

Great job bro

[@rockymatthews8643]

You make me want to go to the beach and go fishing 😢

[@madtownangler]

One time I was up in northern Wisconsin on vacation and the only thing I used for a week was one rattletrap and caught everything on it. Even caught a musky on it which was unexpected. Wasn't very big maybe 2 1/2 feet long. So bringing my big honking tacklebox was a waste of time...I even bought a net for the week that I actually used. The Indians had speared the year before so the walleye fishing wasn't that good by now it's probably good again been five years or so.

[@billieburke-ww2qj]

Big weighted lures = Slabs..... that's what we called them. I'm surprised we didn't see any birds attacking the surface b/c there are special times when the fish are running the bait fish against the beach & up to the surface which it looks like you're almost in one of those moments? Close to it & when it does happen, you can throw treble hooks out & catch fish? I'm not kidding but great show... I love it. peace & be safe!

[@turboboy0]

im thinking about getting a 3 piece medium/heavy 15' rod to pair with my diawa df100a, 100lb braid and 8/0 circle hook to go dock fishing for some monster catfish and carp. i use large reels because i have a metal plate with 3 screws, nerve damage and limited range of motion in my left wrist/hand. thoughts?

[@Rpark1214]

I would go with 40-50lb braid max. I caught a handful of 25lbs 35+in catfish with 15lb braid

[@elliotechev24]

Nice bluefish blitz

[@danielfarren7267]

I’ve caught fish with the rattle trap before. I have the live target but I’ve never caught anything on it.

[@elliotechev24]

Yea. U need a stell leader with all them blue’s running. When it’s like that I will throw a bunker head. Cause on the bottom there are big bass eating

[@duncantorwick318]

Hi from Mew Zealand. I was just wondering if you ever use fish bites? We can now get them here in New Zealand and they have really taken off.

[@Adiarby13]

i caught my PB mangrove jack/mangrove snapper with LiveTarget swimbait..BUT, huge but, toothy fish disintegrate this lure super fast. for it price i just wish it has tougher body like zman or somethin.

[@vikasthapa8083]

We need more surf fishing

[@cword8247]

What brand and length rod are you using?

[@jams1533]

Did you use a sinker or is it just the lure you’re sending out?

[@jakobsime4190]

Gotta use a steel leader with those swimbaits bluefish annihilate them lmao

[@shroom982]

I LIKE THE RUBBER BAIT

[@vikasthapa8083]

Hy i kn wanna which rod size is good for surf fishing 10ft or 12ft . which one should i go with??? Can u plz reply

[@HeySkipper]

10’ is my favorite

[@isaiasmartinez7068]

where do you fish at mate?

[@lfaktore]

Nilbog…..that’s goblin spelled backwards hahaha

[@shakagolliwog6718]

Don’t cut the line with your teeth. It will chip them. Get nail clippers

[@johnstamos5579]

Too late for me, already chipped cutting line with my teeth. You are absolutely right

[@d3rocks4u]

Did not know this

[@saxon6]

You sound like my mom...of course she was right

[@Reuvench]

Yup, expensive dental work as a result learned the hard way

[@JD.California_monkey_mackerel]

I love cast my metal Jig far away at my local fishing pier fishing 🎣 with metal Jigs is great any species of fish hits it because saltwater fish are predators so they eat anything

[@HeySkipper]

Love casting the metal jigs too!

[@RagnarrBjorn]

So honest question, why don't you guys and gals use really thin steel leaders? We have lots of toothy fish up north here in the Great Lakes region, and we use thin steel leaders for pike and musky and it really helps us from losing lures. When my friend and I go down to Florida, we will be using some thin steel leaders to cast in the surf for sure. lol. Anyway Great video as usual. Maybe when we go down to Florida we can all hook up and fish together some day. :)

[@HeySkipper]

When the water Is very clear, the steel leaders are too visible and scare the fish. In Texas the surf water is brown from minerals, steel leaders will catch anything in brown water.

[@RagnarrBjorn]

@@HeySkipper Yeah, we have gin clear water most of the time where I am in Michigan, but we catch fish on steel leaders all the time. I will have to try some different stuff out while I am down there to see if I can find something that works. I hate losing lures, it can get too expensive if they bite off too many of them. lol.

[@user-sd1mb6cz3c]

give away black daimond rod bro😅 btw big love from india really loved ur all videos specially surf fishing with baits🥰

[@specredslayer5440]

Damn Bluefish galore, to many other good fish that are better eating than bluefish. Well I know you enjoy eating them so have at it.

[@mattjones1378]

Is that Bama Beach Bum's spots

[@CleosetricVlyers]

What kind of lure that suitable for night fishing?

[@eggbenedict-gt7mw]

Poppers

[@mikeboner]

Ye

[@robertwade1951]

👍

[@saltwatermercs]

My favorite part {it smells like bacon 😂)

[@HeySkipper]

Haha

[@rickconner4895]

My prediction is that the rattle trap will out perform.

[@arjanpaans654]

matel leder so jou dont get bitten of ????

[@julioalcala4084]

I like donuts

[@ericngsta]

Blue fish will hit a floating dog turd lol.

[@eggbenedict-gt7mw]

Even mullets

[@eggbenedict-gt7mw]

The topwater rapala stick lure is useless, should have bought this rattler

[@hendraprasetio1237]

Not plastic anymore..... 😅

[@deanmccormick8070]

Of course lures are designed to catch fishermen, not fish. The fish don't have any MONEY!

[@HeySkipper]

Hehe,

[@nobodyhome8148]

Don't waste your money on apples ..... oranges are cheaper.

[@valerio202]

Olá!! me chamo Valério Silva; sou do Brasil de Fortaleza ceará! eu e minha esposa amamos assistir seus vídeos. as vezes ficamos até tarde da noite vendo seus vídeos! amo pescar , mas infelizmente não tenho condições de ter equipamentos de pesca. queria te pedir um presente se for possível! queria muito ganhar de presente uma vara dessa sua que você pesca ☺️ eu fico aqui apaixonado quando vejo seus equipamentos de pesca. por favor me da uma vara dessa que você usa de presente!! ja agradeço de coração!!!

[@J.Da.Goat4597]

I like turtles

[@mlow42]

Lures will always out perform natural bait. Fool em, don't feed em.

[@HeySkipper]

That’s a good point, but sometimes they don’t want anything except live bait

[@iancaen2977]

Sometimes lures are better, but in my 50 years of experience, bait works a lot better.

[@mlow42]

I suppose I could clarify. I always know if I still have a bait on the line. If I don't find fish, I can move to where they are. I only have 30 years experience, but it might just be my constantly moving around that works. I have spent a whole day drowning baits and caught nothing. I've never been skunked with an artificial. Lots of variables, I suppose.

[@eggbenedict-gt7mw]

​@@iancaen2977predator fish eat live bait

[@TimeToBeKind]

Rubber, not plastic.

[@emmanuelbell6041]

Wow what a goober. How can you compare a metal rattle lure with double trebles to a realistic plastic lure with a single hook? Of course the live targets have a specific purpose and fishing them on the beach for bluefish is obviously not the ideal situation for them 🙄
