I know I am kinda randomly asking but do anyone know of a good place to watch new movies online?

[@reidjerry8432]

@Jay Andres try FlixZone. Just google for it :)

[@peterlawson8040]

If only you were.

[@rorytaylor4543]

I truly appreciate all the detailed information on the various tackle. But the water footage just adds a whole new element. Rather than making assumptions as to how we think a bait will run you show the viewer. That is genius, I've made several recent purchases from the shop just after seeing the swim. Thanks

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Great feedback man. Thank you! And thank you for your business! 🙏

Top 3: Keitech shiner Spark shad Xzone

LOL I've been telling people ever since Keitech's baits came over here that it was pronounced "Kay-tech" and nobody believed me...Thanks for clearing that up!

The River2Sea Dwalker is an amazing swimjig trailer… lots of side to side and up and down head movement along with the Xzone Swammer and Keiteck Fat I’m all good 🎣🤙

Watched for the paddle tails, left needing a Carver Jig!

[@sc0009]

Another way to fish the Skinny Dipper is rigged on the Owner Beast weighted 4/0 hook. It has a very aggressive body roll on a steady retrieve. Very productive in stained water. Great video with a lot of great information as always.

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Thank you for watching and for sharing your insight!

That awkward moment when you just placed a Hook Up Tackle order and a new video drops with more tackle temptations. My wife is going to change my PayPal password here soon. 😅

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Haha! Thank you for your business my friend! 👊

[@hillbillytarzan]

A good soft tail section, long thin paddle on the tail like a Fringe and Scottsboro Tackle or a wide short one with the bottom squared off like the Spark Shad and Hammer. That’s how I choose my swimbaits. I’ve thrown my arm out of socket and those are the 2 best designs. The others are just filler for the market

[@jeremyduncan9165]

You guys a coming out with with the heat! Love the info and yes I’m in the midwest and the fish are burnt on the soft swim bait seen. Definitely going to branch out and try some new ones you demoed! Placing a order this weekend! What’s up Jeff? I see you but can’t see you!

[@michaelshoffner6584]

I have used reaction innovations swim baits for years and the are very well priced compared to others. I use a belly weighted hook and recently added one to an old inline spinner bait and it creates lots of wake in muddy waters. I have also used the underspin hook as well. Bass Pro also has their version that i like as well

[@anthonyreeder8283]

Cool video a couple of baits I have never heard of.

Watching from remote Western Australia. But I am originally from California. Never seen a break down of paddle tails like this. Trying to figure out how to apply this information to salt water.

[@colebuserfishing]

Forgot to say to subscribe to the channel😂

[@Charactermatters650]

Gambler - EZ and Big EZ - great action and lasts much longer than Keitech - nice groove on top too - I swear by these (old dude - you fish me long time...). Great garlic stink to it. Also the Beast Coast Miyagi - Baby Bass slays in the Northeast . Heavy and big and runs thru the pads like no other - fish it like a frog on that owner weighted hook and pause it in pads, jig it a bit - it sinks a bit and gets EATEN - when it gets slammed it doesn’t pop out of the water - best bait period, for me in the pads. I pause when it gets eaten in pads, click my baitcaster and just feel the line start to run as I thumb it ....wait....then whip it, whip it good and crank that stick back boy - best...feeling...ever. Ribbed for pleasure? psssshhh, try BIG and HEAVY and a STRONG ARCHING THRUST.

blades always add resistance and cause baits to rise?

Opposite. They prevent the baits from rising.

They're great on the Uoze, but you have to trim the skirt about a 1/2" to get the rock.
