The BEST Small Grass Crankbait that I've EVER Used! (Bass Fishing Tip) Ep. 150

[@curtisfawver8655]

I watched this video Saturday, and ended up buying a full size Hybrid Hunter on Sunday. I immediately went fishing to test out a new rod and reel I bought, and tied on the HH. First cast I caught one at least 3lbs, and then two more over 4 in the next hour. I’m in Kentucky and had a high of 32 yesterday. Glad I watched your video!

[@bigmoemedina313]

The Red hook in the front makes perfect sense to me, it gives the impression that the Lure is bleeding. Thanks for everything you do and PLEASE!! keep the Videos coming!!!

[@epiceric1202]

JUICE BOX VID drop right there! Good to find another angler that knows those Gamakatsu Red Hooks on the front treble make a difference. Thanks, Andrew. This one was a GEM of a video.

I've been using the hybrid hunter since 2020. The lakes were I fish are mostly grass, lilies and hydrilla . Hardly any hard bottom areas so forget trying to deflect off anything on the bottom ,so far this is the best crankbait to come through the grass and have caught a lot of bass on this bait.

[@davidharris4030]

You and Todd have sold it to me. I have yet to pick up any HHS but definitely plan on it. I am envisioning myself on some of my killer redeye shad spots and breaking out the HH! I am wondering if there are times were they will hit the HH and not the trap. Maybe but time will tell! You boys are good salesman but in this case I believe it’s a fish catcher ! Thanks Andrew!

[@bigdawg580]

Good tips Andrew. Just wish we had grass where I live.

[@zachg5356]

I'm new to the channel but i am a Florida fisherman. So I'm very used to dealing with grassy lakes. I'm gonna pick up a few of those HH thanks.

[@ScottHynson-if9vn]

Great bait, no doubt about it

[@larrymoss9954]

Great video, great content. HH JR is a killer

[@markdye7588]

Which retrieve do you like best for the winter months? I really like the burn, burn, burn, pause during the summer.

[@rogbass]

Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 thank you for helping me get better with bass. Appreciate all you do for all of us.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Merry Christmas buddy! Hope it was a great one for you

[@Glock-1]

Those go through everything grass,rock,wood everything! There is a video of you at iCast showing and talking about the Strike Pro Bubba your showing a chartreuse and black with orange bottom

[@JohnSmith-wn6br]

This is going to be my first time throw this bait i just bought 2 smooth and chartreuse. But the 3 colors you named are those year round colors thanks man

[@jackstein5486]

Nice one Andrew! Happy holidays!

[@coygregg861]

I bought a couple of them this year and loved them. But, was having trouble keeping them buttoned. I did change out the hooks.

[@johnm2617]

Andrew lakes are frozen here * The boat is put Away * Hope your hand heels up well * I want to buy some of those HH ! Happy holidays **

[@johnnyweaver1300]

Great video, I bought all 4 of those hybrid hunter's, I'm hoping to use them this week, I'm glad you have confidence in it, I don't hear or see anyone taik about it, I searched it on the internet & only ppl 2 years ago have something to say mainly Todd Castledine! MERRY CHRISTMAS

[@robbflores4006]

Great juice on the Hybrid Hunter. Also great info on equipment, except line. Curious to size, mono/braid/flourcarbon. Love the vids my friend and good luck this year on your circuits.

[@CajunRobFishing]

Can't beat it in grass !

[@scottclark1168]

Oh no you didn't!!! Ole Tad gunna get you,some great tips Andrew thanks for sharing,Happy new year's

[@kendalllunsford775]

Just picked up a few of the small sized HH's ....... and was wondering about what setup to use...... Thinking maybe my chaterbait setup..... 7'3" heavy glass.....16lb Sunline sniper.... Is that overkill for this application....??? Excited about trying out this new technique...... I know it will have a niche on my home lake..... Thanks for sharing and the great content.... Andrew....

[@xxcaseyxxc]

As always great video brother! Just FYI I'm still enjoying the hell out of that reel I won in the mystery box giveaway with all the other baits you included in the box as well from Instagram. I just received a bunch of my hunter and Hunter jrs for the year and I can't wait to throw them.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

That’s awesome buddy! I’m glad it’s working out for you.

[@bobbycolson1957]

You answered my question at the beginning it does not have to be fished in grass to work...I had already bought some after hearing you and grumpy talk about them

[@pcheek68]

Watched this video, went and got the Green Gizzard, first time throwing it, 4.85LB. Thank you Mr. Upshaw

[@dannyyork1142]

Tell yall this....... I've tried 20 diffrent rods for all purpose reaction rods. And drew done took words outta my mouth. The kvd lews series came out couple years ago. Best rods on market for 99.99$. The gc3 glass rod is killer for, small to med cranks, spinnerbaits, and chatterbaits. They could sell these rods for 175$-250$ price range. Not gonna throw other rods under the bus, but best rod for money by far!!!!!

[@gabrielbordelon4046]

Question Andrew, You talked about the Rod for the HHJ, in your opinion, what is the best rod for the standard Hybrid Hunter? Thank you for the information.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

I use one rod, the Team Lew’s Signature Mark Rose Swimbait rod. It’s a 7’6”. I love it

[@arcfishing2012]

I been trying to find one to replace the one I lost. Every time I go to Bass Pro or Academy sports there gone. And the reel I mostly use is a 6:8.1 I only use the 7:5.1 for lipless and buzz baits sometimes a swim jig.

[@jonathanceaser1838]

What’s up Andrew! Merry Christmas. Are the hooks you add straight shank, ewg, etc?

[@joffrechampagne7908]

Dang Andrew, giving up the juice 🤫

[@yankeebass1]

Absolutely love the hybrid hunter. Finally playing with the shallow one now that I got like 3 of each color. Did you throw one on Cherokee Lake this spring like I did? And you are correct they are not just for shallow water.

[@1988Jut]

Any thoughts on the HH shallow version? From the pictures they look the same as the originals.

[@lancelamoon6743]

Same as 6 Sense Swank

[@miltonalbright1606]

Andrew milt here I have the Big hunter I will get the jr

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

You won’t regret it

[@lancemabry6707]

Hey Andrew, how do you qualify for the us open? Do you have to fish all 3 events or what? Sorry read over the rules, sort of, and didn’t see anything about how to qualify etc

[@denniskiblerbassguy]

Maybe I missed it but what size line do you use. I have all the big ones and three of the small ones. Now I’m going to have to get the rest of the small ones. I have had good success with this bait. Thanks for sharing.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

For the little one you can use 15-17lb fluorocarbon. On the big one the smallest I use is 17lb and typically use 20lb.

[@mattkoesterer5146]

That bait is good I agree but I also like a Baby Minus by Mann’s bait co!! But it doesn’t run like a hybrid the hybrid does run different!! Good Video!!

[@ILLUMINATHAN79]

I haven’t tried the newer shallow 1-3ft Hunter. What’s your thoughts on the shallow hybrid hunter?

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Video coming next week on it

[@ILLUMINATHAN79]

@@AndrewUpshawFishing thanks

[@theicemanfrost]

What brand is that crankbait? Link?

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

It’s a Strike King Hybrid Hunter www.academy.com/p/strike-king-1-oz-hybrid-hunter-crankbait?sku=green&gmc_feed=t&ogmap=SEM%7CNBR%7CGOOG%7CSHOP%7Cm%7COUT%7CIM%7CNon-Brand-PerformanceMax-Outdoor-Stream%7CStream%7C%7C16517466167%7C0&&ogmap=SEM%7CPLN%7CGOOG%7CSHOP%7Cm%7COUT%7C%7CNon-Brand-PerformanceMax-Outdoor-Stream%7CStream%7C%7C16517466167%7C0&gclid=CjwKCAjwkNOpBhBEEiwAb3MvvUgDEKitETBDqD9ydtSMXMhkGisIx1LRyP81Nflgjxh8VVqp8tOUURoCLAgQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

[@ChristophercurtisChris]

I really need to talk with you about a certain lure that I made

[@ClayWilliamson]

It’s been on my radar for a few years but honestly the hydrilla around me seems too thick for trebles. The coots are starting to work on the hydrilla now and it’s probably time to pick one up.

[@mattowens719]

U throw it on heavy flour or braid

[@Kctfishn]

If u think the HH is good in the grass, throw it in the timber. 4 wheel drive. It’s almost like there’s no hooks on it when it hits timber.

[@MrJohnB-qs6dp]

🤠👍

[@Bruce_Swain]

Hybrid hunter bite is addicting. Specifically on the big one. Never know in the first second or two if it’s a great big one.

[@johndynneson662]

A. Bigger one?!??! Would be really cool 😎. A really bigger one for Up. North Muskies. Tell Stike king. Get busy 😀😀

[@Ben-by1hp]

The BEST Small Grass Crankbait that I've EVER Used ! = NOP !!!!

[@billsutorius2753]

👍🎣🇺🇸

[@Glock-1]

I've asked several people but haven't got any answers yet but if you could only carry like 2 colors of Hybrid Hunters which colors would suggest because some people carry backpack to pond hop so I need to have a couple to cover everything

[@martys4814]

Just added a new bait to my box

[@joshwhite8055]

I wonder if KVD is catching Hell for his recent Hybrid Hunter JR video he just put out ...😏

[@jasonmaestre1355]

i use the 6th sense swank. a little more expensive but better paint options and way better stock hooks

[@johndynneson662]

I’ve been told. Big corporations bought up. Strike king. Now. Reviews from people quality is kinda tanked. Any thing you can tell me 🤔🤔🤔

[@thomasroach3965]

This lure is bad to the bone. Unbelievable the fish you can catch on it. I do wish they made a silent version though. May have to modify my own. The white colors work great in stained to muddy water. Will try your #2 hook version.

[@tonygreen4356]

Did you have permission from TC to talk about this? A secret that should of be kept.....😉

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

😂😂😂

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

No he does not

[@bobbyswain7049]

Take this video down immediately 😂

[@wolverinex4243]

Trash lure. Sorry. If you need this to fish grass, you need to stop fishing. Overrated and overhyped. The swim is no good. The lure is no good. I don't know where yall fishing but come try that in Fresno, CA.
