This Bizarre HOMEMADE Bait is THE MOST EFFECTIVE Shallow Water Lure I've EVER used...

[@jacobjacques9776]

Love how ur helping us save money in this time that we all need to and helping us catch more fish.thank Ben

[@scottsavoca3489]

I have seen this same video for 6 months and yours is the best and most honest in tone and approach everyone else acts like they just created this I respect honesty

[@clintonbruning]

This a trip I really wish I could have been in the boat with you. That was unreal action. And that’s a really simple way to replicate some crazy expensive baits! Thanks Ben 🤙🏽

[@macking4942]

i see how he makes them and see he is using a 1/0. but... how are you rigging that? Hook is sitting in back? weight less? would love more detail.

[@dustinelder1453]

Ben, you do you and what you enjoy 👍 I just wanted to take a minute to say how much I enjoyed this video. I've been watching for a few years now and I feel like this video was close to what I "fell in love" watching on your channel. Keep catching them! I like watching your videos and my son (now 5 years old) and I have been watching together for the past 2 years. Love it man!

[@jimk4267]

Check out the Dan Gapen Ugly bug. Been around for 50years. Still available. Dan was a smallmouth savant Used them for many years...forgot how effective they were. Thanks for sharing

[@JCSeely]

What's with your depth on live scope top left corner. Its all over the place 20-60+ feet and your stationary?

[@UnmatchedE]

We appreciate Mr Milliken. Thanks for all your videos

[@coreystanfill1893]

One of my favorite baits of all time was a black n blue GENE LEREW ELECTRIC SALT CRAW. The salt would fall out of them. And floated pretty well on a Carolina rig

[@bentrod5815]

I’ve used this truck for dressing up Steelhead worms, they love the tentacles as well.

[@Everydayfishing]

Super cool idea! Definitely going to give it a try. And yes, I have a row of old spinnerbaits hanging on the bait wall in the garage because "I might need the parts" - so this is perfect 😂

[@kenolswfski2511]

How are you rigging this ,how is it weighted

[@FuManDrew365]

Every single one of those smallies was a fighter jumping 4 5 and 6 feet outta the water shredding clouts left and right lol.. awesome video bud

[@PSPSALES]

That was insane.... I wish I would have had some of those up on the ST Lawrence ! Damn ....

[@codem0de]

Major savings. Same effectiveness, it seems. Cheers, Ben. Gonna try this.

[@maxcole3930]

Matt Stephan had vid on making these with stick baits few months ago made some after watching Matt's vid & used standard stick baits & other types of worms like Shakey head worms/ thinner body's

[@bassketchum]

Good on ya for giving JDM some credit though! Japanese baits are innovative.

[@1jimif]

Thanks for the tip Ben. I used a tool for picking out birds nests I got at bass pro shop, but you could use a sewing needle with a large eye, a thin wire from a bread tye or anything pretty much to pull the strands of silicon skirt thew! I also modified a couple flukes using the same concept, and they got bit on like the 1st cast!...FishOn....jimi

[@bamadondon0495]

I saw a Japanese angler do the same thing with a depps bull flat. Or whatever the hell it's called, he cut it up into squares, and did exactly what you did and he had some kind of a needle or possibly a piece of wire with a loop on it and just pulled silicone strands through it and was catching the shit out of them. I tried the same thing with the same success.. but I wound up using believe it or not strike King ocho because they're really heavy salted baits. I cut him up about the same size that you did and pulled some silicone strands through it with a big ass sewing needle, now I will for sure cut up a spinnerbait, I've got a night blade that's rusted from hell, she'll do just fine! Thanks for the idea on that.. I was using a 1/0 owner grip pin straight shank. And was catching the piss out of them!! This was just two weeks.. maybe I should strap a GoPro to my chest😂😂. If there was a way to insert picture in these comments you should see all the dead soldiers in the bed of my truck because I tried it at a pond on our farm before I went to the lake with it. But I skipped dock's all day long the other day using the ocho with silicone strands, cut up about 3"-4" sizes.. and caught the hell out of some spotted bass! Stay safe you MFR 😎✌️🫰

[@backcountrybrian3746]

How did you rig it @bamadondon495

[@IdiotAnglerfromIowa]

Going to have to buy some hooks and try this out. Thanks for the info!

[@jameslovelace8958]

I hope you plan to use this in a tournament! I’ve already began to bend wire and cut up skirts.

[@colewhitehead3385]

Man Ben that's so awesome. Great video.

[@alandavis2051]

Are you feeding the hook through the length of the bait or rigging it wacky?

[@vegawowYT]

Came to comments to find out the same thing. Can’t see it in the video. Would assume either would work.

[@tysonprice109]

Ben no 💩 I pitched this exact concept but with actual hair to several companies including Bass Pro Shop and Walmart but none would take me up on it. In 2010

[@brendanlee8287]

Great video. What time of year are you fishing these.

[@Three-13]

Crushed so many smallies it killed the GoPro, epic. Another banger video, ben! What size hook did you find to be your favorite?

[@MillikenFishing]

1/0

[@CODCritic101]

This crushes for river smallis also 😊

[@robbieandliz.p5032]

Dang bro you had em fired up

[@amals51]

Ben, how does the live scope perform in that really shallow water? I ask because I fish a river system that, at times, can be no more than a foot deep in areas, and I often wonder if it would be worth buying one to use on the river. ??

[@johncollett2072]

What kind of hook

[@deschutesdegenerates5260]

I'm gonna throw this on my fly rod for sure 😂😂

[@jimwrigley3304]

Reinforces my belief that northern smallmouth are some of the angriest and dumb fish that swim. I’ll still end up trying this in Tennessee but have low expectations it will be effective.

[@joeparlante7721]

Angry yes, dumb hardly. Many of these Lake Champlain smallies have never seen an artificial bait before and just can't resist. I'm sure fishing in Tennessee 10-12 months of the year will make it more difficult because of the pressure. You should make the trip up north this time of the year, it will be some of the best fishing you've ever had.

Why does the livescope say you're in 50+ ft of water but your like in 10ft or less? Just curious. Still learning livescope myself.

X axis is the distance from the boat. Y axis is depth.

Not sure where you are, but I guarantee if you’re in the USA, you can fish smallies near you.

[@stacykennemur4964]

@@Stonehorn Texas. Yes we have smallies but large mouth is dominant which makes catching smallies tougher. I catch a few here but it’s hard to just go out and get on a smallmouth pattern. Up in New York the population of smallies is greater than largemouth.
