The Best Surface Top Water Lure

[@ByronTeaHill]

Hey Guys! thanks very much for stopping by, I truely hope you learn a thing or two... or at the very least, are entertained! 🤙

[@bencassidy4118]

Hey the Daiwa Gekk.. rod what length is that?

[@ByronTeaHill]

@@bencassidy4118 hey mate, I almost exclusively use the 788MML for top water. I had a couple minutes of video that I binned talking about rods. I’m going to do that in another vid

[@bencassidy4118]

I have the 8.6 one it’s massive not sure how to use it correctly a vid on rods would be worth while if you ever have time.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Copy that sir

[@bensfishing4689]

watched you for about 4 months and the quality of the videos and the attention to detail is unbelievable the information is insane . good stuff.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Thanks legend! I really appreciate it mate

[@collieyak971]

Love the way this guy presents his topics! Definitely the best light tackle fishing info going around

[@ByronTeaHill]

I appreciate that mate! You want to disclose your favourite colour so I can get you in the comp?

[@samdimauro7258]

Love the video. Just discovered the Osp Bent and it’s a game changer. P83 favourite colour.

[@lewisparsons6173]

Now that’s a great tutorial on how, when and where to use a particular lure! Thanks Byron, I already feel more confident in using the bent minnow.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Hey mate! Great to see you here again mate. Really glad you enjoyed it buddy! Chat soon next time I’m korth

[@ByronTeaHill]

[@bradp1984]

Awesome tutorial mate! Favourite colour has gotta be the G-37, such a good prawn imitation!

[@ByronTeaHill]

Thanks Brad! Hope you learnt something valuable

[@aussfish9995]

Great video mate, here is another technique we use to great effect with the Bent Minnow, We throw it out then keep the rod tip low and give it 5 or 6 hard rips and wind at the same time you can get the bent Minnow down about 3 feet then pause and let it float slowly up to just under the surface then repeat all the way to the boat big bream love it.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Great tip!

[@Thrashin93]

GF76 for sure, same colour as a little mullet and seems to work great on the flats in my local estuary.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Good choice!

[@joshstorer7848]

Another awesome video mate they just keep getting better and I’m learning heaps from each one. My favourite is the P74 by far.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Gotta try and maximise using the equipment I have... super keen to get some more tech and get some super tasty footage!

[@duanesfishn]

I’ll never forget the first strike on a Bent Minnow. P-83 has got to be my fave. Trout love the Bents also. Love the range of sizes they come in, they cover so may species.

[@ByronTeaHill]

It’s funny, this lure creates memories I reckon.

[@paulcook6800]

Really enjoying the format of these videos, entertaining and very informative. I'm only new to bents, use them on the flats chasing YFW and Flatties - will have to give them a whirl on the Bream too. P-43 for me. Pearl white body and hot pink back. Screams eat me!

[@ByronTeaHill]

Happy you’re enjoying them mate

[@aaronheadland8698]

Thanks for the extra info, will try out a few of your ideas and techniques. P-74 has got to be my fav.

[@ByronTeaHill]

No dramas at all, thanks for commenting! entry in

Great video. Really informative. Just subscribed. I've only fished these lures once and the P74 caught me fish.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Thanks for the Sub James, glad you liked the content mate

[@michaelaubrey2234]

Just started playing with the OSP Bent Minnows in 106 size for shallow water Flatty work. Bought a H23 Ginrin and a P74 Pink /Chartruese same colour as the one in the video and its the P74 which I have had the most success with so far so this has to be my favourite. Love seeing the EPs in action on the OSPs.

[@ByronTeaHill]

They were jumping all over it Michael, Such a good few sessions on the EP

[@Bethll]

The P74 is the only one I have, haven’t really had a chance to use it yet though. Thanks for the vid, appreciate the tips & insights you share.

Thanks for the lend of your kayak... you see it in the video?

Tough choose but it has to be the sunny gill P45 the fish goes crazy for it great vid

[@ByronTeaHill]

thanks Holly

[@bryce6267]

the p-74 is my go to colour 100%. I love your idea of changing the leader length to impart a different action of the action for the lure and water column, also 🤞 i win my dream fishing rod. great video cant wait for the vx35 video next

[@ByronTeaHill]

Totally agree!

[@ChrispyyWings]

Another great video mate been killing it lately and im learning so much which i apply to my fishing channel! My favourite colour would be the ME-28? That miller rod would defiantly come in handy

[@ByronTeaHill]

Yeah mate, its brilliant for crabs and blades. Check the next vid out for the comp details for the Miller Rod

[@alexsss79]

awesome video my favorite colour in the osp range would be G-01 u just cant beat it the semi translucent brown and the yellow face looks perfect

[@ByronTeaHill]

Thanks Dylan! appreciate the kind words mate.

[@russellwright4556]

Great video Bryon, I’m a added fan of the OSP bent minnow and find colour P74 as first choice followed by a close second GF76 Bemm river being one of my frequent fished waters And Mallacoota, I have found washing your lurers in fresh water after a session we’ll prolong the hook life, getting them out of the fishes mouth does more damage than salt water.

[@ByronTeaHill]

100% mate, taking care of the trebles will make them last longer! Glad you liked the video Russell, appreciate you commenting.

[@abdelmalekm]

P74 is my choice. Learning a lot, loving it! Thanks

Another great vid mate well done. Top water is the best way to fish and my favourite colour is the ghost pearl

Should be really proud of the production quality lately mate. Really been stepping it up! As always I love the videos and you have pushed me to go out and get onto some of these minnows. So many colours that look the goods but the H22 champagne mirror matches a lot of bait around my area. Cant wait to get into them

[@ByronTeaHill]

Dude! You flatter me, really appreciate the words - hopefully I can maintain the standard!!! Good colour choice, but i have to admit I haven't given it a go hey. Thanks again

Never used one but after this video I just ordered the P-74 and G-28. Let’s hope that the info in the video helps me catch my first salt water fish on a surface Lure.

[@mikesutcliffe1142]

Great stuff again, Byron! They're an amazing lure. I got my first introduction to them in Albany in WA a couple of years ago - colour GF76, I think - the Wakasagi colour. I couldn't believe how much interest they got from the fish - it was almost a fish a cast at some stages! Even at $38, definitely worth having a couple in the old tackle box...

[@ByronTeaHill]

I had a similar introduction to yours Mike, I was burning it then stopping. The fish may as well have been swimming into my Livewell!

[@damiendaly7967]

Great vid once again, never thought of placing a stinger hook on one personally I love the pearl white 73 I think the colour is works well on the dirty Brisbane river water

So glad you did a review on this lure, I love it I had to comment with my favourite P83 all white bog stock straight out of the packet. I use the high Rod with a jiggle when retrieving and when the fish are on you can’t miss Always love the channel and the content great 👍

[@michaelrandall8102]

Great Vid, would love to know if you tee getting more fish on the 76mm rattle version? My favourite colour is the G01 only because that’s probably caught most fish being I’ve had it the longest. Been blown away on my six pound bream outfit by a mangrove jack and a big estuary cod on these. Expensive exercise 😕

[@ByronTeaHill]

Yeah that sounds pretty expensive! Honestly I just grab the lure that I’ve got around me. Genuinely I couldn’t tell you if I’ve got a rattle or silent on. I think on a sunny day, go silent, on a cloudy day go rattle. Finesse= silent

[@lachiestewart7444]

Great video mate! Big fan of the in depth explanations of how to use the lure 👌🏽 as for my fav, would have to be the P-83. Love your work!
