I love these, with the Japanese anglers/designers. Makes it super clear on the intent on their designs and easy to understand with the captioning. Keep them coming!

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Glad it’s coming across well! Thank you for watching 🍻

[@mrfisker]

That dude looks so kind! keep up the good baits!

[@lomax7819]

I love Bottom Up gear, will have to grab a few of the Gap Jigs. The Kosmo, Chibeetle and Scooper Frog Daddy are my favorites and guaranteed to put fish in the boat where I live. Please ask Bottom Up to put out more hats, shirts and stickers. Need more merch!

I’ve been using the Gap Jig and Kosmo Jig for a few years. They’re my favorite. From the build quality, to the action. Love throwing them. Caught many fish using these jigs. 🤘

[@johnclinton9257]

Thank you for bringing us cutting edge information on Japanese fishing techniques in these in-depth videos. Even if I decide not to purchase the baits and equipment in the video there are always presentation principles that help to inform my fishing helping me to continue to grow as a hardcore bass angler.

[@memikecraig]

Looks pretty similar to the Keitech Casting Jig. Are there many differences? The Keitech is one of my favorite jigs ever.

[@DFWdarin]

Sincei started throwing the hunts and ir jig I've caught so many more fish then i normally catch with my favorite jigs i used to use

[@michaelgepson2877]

It’s very reminiscent of the finesse jigs we used on the west coast in the 80’s and 90’s. Skinny Bear jigs.

[@channelislandsflies8429]

Still do! I recently found a stash of pristine Skinny Bears I bought as a kid at Bass A Thon at Anglers Marine. Time flies and they still kill it. 😂

[@anthonybenoit222]

Great had to get a hand full of these. Thanks for the great jig video.

[@jvkobt1540]

Thanks so much for the subs on those!!!

Love the site, you have a lot of great items!! Seems a lot is out of stock, when do you usually stock items. Thanks in advance!

Boondock Baits have been on this for the last couple of years. I exclusively use their 1/4oz finesse micro jigs for the sole reason of the wider hook gap in a compact jig.

[@randyferreira5265]

Looks like a killer jig for pressured bass that want something smaller in size .Great video and i will be picking upna few!

[@formatr6]

this is a great take on shiniki's mini flipping jig, the "chibi" jig made by greenfish tackle. Looks like another great option

[@ADKyakman]

Awesome jig. Once upon a time- like 2 year’s ago Molix made a Nano jig. Very small very finesse, you can still find them but only in two colors. They’re very very very similar and idk why this is a secret I’ve been wrecking big smallmouth on the Molix nano jig, and keitech tungsten (Guard) spin jig w a TRD crawz and a 3.5 spunk shad on back.. Molix needs to re-amp the Nano jig because the skirt flare was unmatched, the way it sits on the bottom was “Nedly” for lack of better term… it was just a killer jig and still is. But it’s good to see more short shank finesse jigs come to market.

[@MrTonySweatpants]

This guy is awesome. I love him. He seems genuine. It’s in the running for the longest handshake.

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Imagine if keitech put a decent hook on their model 1 15 years ago. This is why i love beast coast jigs. BUT, i will be sure to try these jigs out. They look great. Im also a compact, tungsten jig junkie, and love to tgrow them on baitcasters. This jig looks real good for some “tight lip” conditions. Goid stuff guys👍🏻🇺🇸

[@surphvision]

Hey you did a video with Julian about drop shoting. I can’t seem to find it for my friend that’s getting into fishing. Like this video. Thx

[@thetravelingmongo]

Not you guys exposing my secret😭

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

🤘🍻

[@ladariusfinley4121]

Yet another bait I have been on the fence on buying and you guys drop a video and just push me right on over 😂 my wallet is going to have ptsd from being squeezed 😂

[@thetravelingmongo]

Anymore trout content coming out?

[@floydfan82]

3:42 - This is so spot on. Went to tie on a regular size bladed jig yesterday and looked at how ridiculously oversized the hook was. I felt ashamed that I even purchased such an unnecessarily ogre-ish lure. These jigs on the other hand, look optimal.

[@europeanian4205]

Try a Mini Max. It's a 2/0, much smaller. 3.3" Keitech on the back is killer.

[@gunnartribelhorn]

Been eyeing these for weeks now, glad to see I was vindicated.

[@HBeretta]

you know...the spinnerbait segment you dropped last week or so with him....wished you had asked what trailer he uses on his spinners even though i said i typically runs without. anyway, another great vid...i have a crap ton of gap jigs thanks to you all. i don't have any gimmy 3.3s though...looks like i'll be ordering some from you all.

[@DFWdarin]

I think he. Said the zoom splittail and the 3.3 dethhadder

[@DoWorkSonTGR]

I was literally panicking that he was about to show what I throw. Another episode: escaped 👌😅

[@davidbrowningjr.4209]

Nooooooooooooo now my secret jig is out lmao it is a very good jig has became my favorite

[@hometownguy7184]

The umms and aahhss. 😂

[@Mckillax]

8 bucks per jig is ridiculous

[@brodyfoutch6687]

yall gotta chill

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

😂🤘🍻
