Our 5 Favorite Baits To Fish At Night In The Summertime!

[@ship4427]

Love how Griff looks like his dog died when the videos start but then gets giddy when talking about baits or techniques he likes.

[@darkstar2963]

Really dig this video and want to see more! Would be really cool if you guys did a video where you were given 5 random baits and breakdown how you’d try to catch fish. Maybe they’re voted in to make them interesting

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

I like this idea!

[@brianlee9074]

Thanks for the video guys. As Ben said, great to see two different perspectives to try and reach the same goal. Catch fish! Much appreciated. ✌️🎣

[@oscarquintana495]

Thankyou for the tutorials and fishing talk...also, it made me remembered that episode that you kept telling Jeffrey "quit looking at my gong" 🤣

[@konnerholt6838]

Guys thank you so much! I just recently got my new levante Leviathan and it throws my big swim baits like a dream! I haven’t caught a fish yet but I have full confidence in it!

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Awesome man! Thank you for your business!

[@toddmiller3640]

I night fish a lot of ponds. Jackall Pompador when they are real aggressive and a Live target 55 frog when its really hot

[@michaelt1168]

Excellent video. Back in the early 90s I would fish a black with yellow stripe Westy Worm at San Carlos. - miss AZ...

[@Tbowie13]

Yeah Griff, I like that I-wing too, in the Catawba River chain, tjat thing gets drilled by the striped bass and hybrids! Let em click the generators off yet water is still moving, bait starts schooling alot, and that I-wing gets nasty!

[@emerytwyman5951]

Man I want to fish with Griff, he knows how to have fun while fishing! Coolest baits

[@Spaceshuttlegunner]

Awesome video! Doing a night tournament this weekend and needed some ideas!

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Hell yeah! Good luck my friend! 🍻

[@Spaceshuttlegunner]

@@thehookuptackle_usa any tips for canyon lake?

[@gstixfishing9746]

Hell yeah...night bites are dope!!

[@scottleggejr]

I need to come get a couple of gong from you guys. I got my first fish on a whopper plopper 190 last week and always thought it was a saltwater bait because of its size. Lake pleasant night bite is about to get wild since we're out of these storms, the water will clear up, night temps will stay high again, water temps go up, the frenzy hits. Can't wait for late sep nights.

[@london3554]

To go along with the best rods under 200 we need a video of the best rods under 400. A video explaining all of the different g Loomis actions would be really helpful too.

[@alcav54]

6” Senko has saved my day countless times in summer day or night

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

This is very true! It's such a great bait!

[@lexxb6386]

It's amazing how well a senko works when nothing else will

[@willperryman4559]

Good Stuff, even though I live and fish in North Carolina, I go night fishing 1-2x’s a week, especially during moon phases. I start top water with a buzz bait or if the moon is full I’ll use a super spook because I can track it in the moonlight .. I’ve tried the free rig with a Geecrack bellows Gill or 8” bellows stick….🎣🙌🎣 keep up these types of tips and videos, I love the comparisons ✊💯🎣🍀

[@brianmcclung7550]

So you guys are becoming a staple for me on the tube. Your doing a great job teaching. I’m a Shimano, and Duckett guy looking to venture into the Megabass world with a couple rods and also looking at their baits. Stumbled upon your channel and it’s been very helpful the past couple months. I’m curious, what Reels do you like? And what is that Gong thing. I’ve never seen it! Is it a crank bait? Brian in SC

[@scottcameron3559]

Well done boys,knowledge is king

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Thank you for watching!

[@markphilippsjr]

GOooooood video! Needed this........... 👍

[@mr.skeptical3071]

U guys are great! I've learned so much. Can you do some new baits from Yo zuri?

[@kenbrown5449]

I'm really surprised ya'll didn't hit on popping baits! Everything from the Pop-R to the Rio Rico have shined for me at different times. My night fishing is done almost exclusively on northern lakes (Ontario being the most fished) in the summer. Topwater in general work best in those shallower lakes. Thanks for the great video!

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

I’ve never caught a fish at night on a popper! Maybe I need to come to Ontario!

[@torment6369]

Slow rolling or a slower medium retrieve with the jackhammer has been killing smallmouths, large mouths, and walleyes this summer. Megabass ORC has also been a killer bait too from 5-10ft of water.

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Awesome! Thank you for the feedback!

[@piercemanley9191]

The jackhammer is my go to nighttime bait with a big trailer

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Interesting!

[@alcav54]

Any idea when you are getting a Gong restock? Also Reins Free rig weights?

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

No ETA on Gong's. I think we bought them all and they have to remake them.

[@greenpighunter6930]

Good stuff

[@blongyang5547]

Thanks was just looking at doing a night trip 👍

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Sweet! Do it!

[@Shawn_Lai]

I was smashing them the other night 🌙 but I was also being smashed by mosquitos.... never have I ever received so many bites. My body looks like the moon. They kept short striking my buzzbait though and I couldn't see a thing. I start with a kick knocker and then buzz bait, which I switch with chatterbait back and forth.

[@igotnothing2657]

Those sun shirts help with the Skeeter's if your ocd like me and don't want to use bug spray in fears the fish might smell it

[@theodemopoulos815]

The Darby Creek Custom Lures rat is the best bait I’ve used night fishing

[@patrickmahoney3479]

The Megabass ORC is a night time killer. I also fish a variety of spinnerbaits with single Colorado blades.

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

I love the ORC!

[@toddmiller3640]

@@thehookuptackle_usa agree! Deps Buzzjet/ Spiral minno and O.S.P Heavy hitter are killer as well. That knocking sound in those wakebaits drive them nuts at night

[@V1Sim]

Slightly off topic, but best recommendation P5 destroyer rod for the jackall Gantarel JR and similar size swimbaits?

[@gstixfishing9746]

Killer code

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

What Griff said!

[@V1Sim]

Thanks guys!

[@shadybanks8625]

I thought the Teckel Sprinker was more of a gimmick bait until I used it at night. I try to cast it up on the bank and drag it off like Griff does his buzz bait. My other staple is a short arm spinner bait fished the same way, but then letting it drop down those stair step ledges.

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Awesome! I've never thrown the Sprinker at night but I will try it now!

[@Bobby2778]

What size hook are you using on the magnum beaver? 6/0 or 7/0 I guess? Man, I always saw anything over 5/0 as a friggin tow truck hook until I started wanting to throw these big plastics you guys talk about.

[@clintnelson4759]

What do you guys use for mosquito repellent at night?

[@seangoff9578]

Love how he clarified that they fish both AFTER DARK and AT NIGHT. got it bro. 😂😂😂

[@ethanwilliams7331]

What size hook for the 4.8 bull flat?

[@KriticullCTRL]

Man, AZ heat is no joke! I would be hibernating during Summer when it comes to fishing LOL

[@jamesfrady8740]

Great job. What free rig weights and what size you use

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

I use 3/8 and 1/4 99.9% of the time. The brand doesn't matter.

[@Jcestanley]

You guys just did a video on my last order lol except for the gong and iwing...haven’t really gotten the balls to throw those yet.

[@johnathonsnape-mclean3457]

Id go a little more finesse with a wake bait earlier in the night, i also prefer the whopper plopper over the buzzbait and would throw it later at night (caught my pb 15 min before midnight on a whopper plopper lool)

[@mindyvansickle3527]

Another fire video whats you're favorite osp buzzbait

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Buzz beat two!

[@morganvanschuyver]

Caught a 7 and a half pounder last night slow rolling a 3/8oz chatterbait on bottom from the bank. The bigs come out at night.

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Hell yeah! Nice one!!

[@swamp_rat_fla1126]

[@morganyoder4277]

I just got a grand buster k from japan which is the bigger version of the slither k. What're your thoughts on it, it seems legit?

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

No idea, havent used any of the grands. They should be dope!

[@morganyoder4277]

@@thehookuptackle_usa that’s what I’m hoping. I guess I’ll update you on them then. Looking forward to getting a toad. I can only imagine how well it will walk after seeing the original slither k.

[@stoneysdead689]

Does the free rig get snagged easily? I've got a new spillway I'm fishing that's just full of snags, and huge bass- so I gotta figure out how to fish it without going broke. First time fishing it, yesterday- I hooked into a giant and lost her but- I also broke off like 4-5 different baits- none of them were cheap. Lost a shaky head even- which is generally pretty damn snagless. Lost three different jigs, an underspin- that one was 100% my fault, bum cast- and the list goes on- it's rock and wood, lots and lots of both- and a pretty stiff current out toward the center.

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

It's the least snaggy rig I know of.

[@stoneysdead689]

@@thehookuptackle_usa Sweet- just bought some of the free rig weights and some dolive beavers from you guys- and a Pulse cod, maybe I can get her to bite again.

[@kellymoore4517]

What kind of Moon phase do yawl prefer for a nite out on the water?

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

I usually don't care, but since Geoff has jinxed me now I prefer no moon.

[@davide.8176]

Love it, you're slowly drawing Griff out and he's getting a little more comfortable in front of the camera. You got to pull that experience out of him like pulling teeth. He's what basketball players refer to as a gym rat, dedicated motherfucker.

[@youtubzkoz]

Thoughts on glow baits at night?

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

I think maybe for smaller waters/ponds they could be really dope!

[@raymondpadilla65]

Im shocked you guys get bit on dark colored reaction baits in Clearwater?

[@Shawn_Lai]

Oh... Anetik sun shirts? Are THE BEST sun shirts ever made. Flat out. No competition. After wearing them I don't even want to wear a different brand, they should have a hookuptackle code because I spent a stupid amount of money buying shirts for every day of the week.

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Agreed! I'm glad you gave them a shot and have been loving them!

[@stoneysdead689]

Ended up with some SK Wake Shads- does anyone know how to fish these things? They're like speed glides almost, but they're wake baits so- they just run a few inches under the surface. They swim like a dream- straight as an arrow an extremly fast, can burn them on an 8:1 and they never blow out- is that what you do with them? Burn them over grass or something? The Jackal Mikey and Mikey jr. seem like the same kind of bait, I have both but I don't know really how they're intended to be fished either. Also have the speed wake by 6th sense- same thing- no idea how to fish it. I bought them all because they looked sexy as hell on the rack- yeah, I'm not a real bright guy- just love to fish. Can anyone help.
