This Japanese Soft Bluegill Glide Bait Is A Game Changer!

[@brandonscordino1080]

Please keep making your videos. I learn more from you than any Swimbait blog on the interweb.

[@scotte3728]

This will be the ICAST 2025 best soft lure. But it’ll be made by Berkeley and “designed” by Ike

[@mikeschulz5070]

I’m sure they will knock it off some how

[@richiekamtan9209]

Sad thing is that might actually happen smh

[@Daiwa_Is_King]

Berkley and bass pro shops are the kings of knockoffs

[@troycote4503]

I have money on you being right. I actually congratulated him on the Grow design copy before I ever seen the Grow Designs, then I saw it, went back to the post and left him a piece of my mind, and the history of Berkley stealing everyone else's designs.

[@JonSmith-s7z]

Finally a fisherman that treats the fish with respect when releasing them.

[@telefunkenyou47]

I’m from the Bay Area, Ca. The only three bass fishing channels I subscribe to are Crazybassfisher, Tactical Bassin’ w/ Matt and my old friends at BamaBass. I’ve been a sub since you were a little kid showing off your tackle. I’m Sansei and i’m still blown away that you speak some Japanese, G! My parents couldn’t speak Japanese!

[@JohnB-JNBconstruction]

My baits came in today, so after watching them in the pool and getting a bit frustrated...I came back to watch this video. Excellent tips!

[@jamesg1425]

That's the craziest urban fishing I've ever seen. These fish really want this bait! Incredible man

[@RoseCityBassin]

just went and ordered one immediately !! nice sale too 24% off ! im hyped !

[@neilljb]

24% where at?

[@eddiehfishing]

Great breakdown of the lure thanks man

[@Daiwa_Is_King]

Great breakdown of this bait Jeff, it’s definitely gonna be a staple in my arsenal. Thank you for sharing your knowledge it’s always appreciated. Tight lines !!!

[@zekethefishgeek8690]

I enjoyed the video. Thank you for taking the time to make it for us to watch and learn from it.

[@alcav54]

I got two of them in the$199 Bento box and I can’t wait to take them out for a spin this spring!

[@johnmango6056]

Got 2 of these in the holiday bento. Looking forward to trying them out. Thanks for the info man!

[@bobfishnut]

I see a new Dark Sleeper in the works coming out after this bait gets into people's hands. Great job helping us all with explaining and showing us how you made the bait improved.

[@BxErock]

Another great video, Japan has all the cool baits.

[@TheSk8deshtruction]

Awesome video! I just got a pair from the Christmas bento and I wasn't sure if the hook was meant to be stuck into the bait since there wasn't a slit or slot. I really appreciate you showing how you pin the hook to the body as it makes perfect sense almost like it's how it is supposed to be! I am going to use small staples since they already have a similar shape to the pin you used and I can be lazy and not bend anything!

[@Brannok812]

Your explanation of the lead designer's backstory explains why I first thought you had a Gillroid, LOL.

[@imadeitto5051]

Very instructional video, Geoff. Thank you.

[@Mr.BigPerch]

Why you not use a neodiun magnet to hold the hook in place?

[@telefunkenyou47]

Some of your first videos were at this park. I had their paddle tail version of this bait. I love to fish bluegill swimbaits right after the bass have spawned and are looking for some payback. And fishing the inside of grass as it’s coming in have been some of my best fishing experiences with BG wake baits.

[@ogjmcnutt9756]

Good video its been awhile since you been on the bank doing some fishing good bait sharing as usual

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Great vid Sir.👍🏻 And tgats a nice lookin bait. Might have to order a couple

[@JonJonsOutdoors]

Fantastic vid! I have 5 ready for spring here in OH. The weight input was a huge help and loved all the input as I am a flag 150 junkie & was hoping these would be similar. I don’t know if there is a better pond bait on the planet rn w the flag and was hoping these would be similar bc those are so hard to find!! Thanks G

[@garyplowman5838]

Awesome bait will have to look into one of those thanks bud 👍🏻

[@FreedomFishing]

Bait looks sweet. The wedge tail definitely inhibits the gliding action. Harder inputs and a super high IPT reel gets the bait to cover more distance before the tail has a chance to kick and stop the motion.

[@thesonorandesertangler]

I prefer soft swimbaits over hard swimbaits.This one is definitely making it onto my excel spreadsheet 😂

[@jdean1851]

EPIC" GOOD TIMES! WAY 2 GO" from 32f Idaho!

[@futuresnetworkslive]

Baitsanity Chimera Shad for a wider glide, KGB Chad Shad for a chop.. Awesome vid!! tyty

[@Stinkdog9]

Great info...thanks for sharing.

[@lawrencetortora8703]

Nice footage, what time of year is that?

[@EliteBassFishin]

Chappy bass love those swim baits man

[@lstaples007]

Heck yeah, I'm sold! I want 1

[@BernPisarcikJr]

Thank you for sharing. I have had good luck with the ganteral jr here in nj, so this interreges me.

[@michaelhomdus4945]

Great info, thanks.

[@42fishing69]

I would put a magnet in the bottom of it to keep the hook there.

[@wendellsuiter7869]

looking forward to fishing it.

[@mfmax3452]

Would love to fish with you one of these days

[@johnyuschak5317]

Just ordered a couple from the hook up tackle last week , what size treble do you recommend for rigging on the side . Thanks

[@BrandonTFishing]

I've been trying to see if the hook up tackle is open but everytime I go there it looks closed. I remember the hours were 3 days of the week. When are they opening the showroom back up and stuff? Edit: Also great video I've been looking to get a bluegill glide but never knew which one to get! Still watching but I'm glad someone brought this topic up

[@thesonorandesertangler]

You can order online and do in store pick up, but I guess they're still renovating the showroom.

[@bart_niggson]

What color did you use for that bluegill

[@TheAnayal8tr]

Great gill bait ,any rod recommendation for soft beast hook baits

[@shawntitsworth4878]

Jeffery could you give me the make and model of the handle on your Bantam? I love the Bantam but hate how short the stock handle is

[@nickkerr5714]

1:57 You sound like Tokyos most wanted 😂

[@joejoewhite7552]

Great video thanks

[@shawndulany4287]

I bought one when the hook up dropped them and I want to try it out

[@xDx0xUxGx]

I know it's not a soft glide, but what is your opinion of the Tiny Bullshooter?

[@robbiemoody928]

I cut the tail and it lost all action 😂 doesn’t swim at all and just blows out with the slightest input. 3gram nail weight in the belly.gunna keep tweaking cause I love that swim on yours after you cut the tail. I Might need to try lighter line as well I threw a 3gram nail weight on the osakana glide and it’s soooo killer

[@blahblahmilbury]

Which P5 is that? Mk56?

[@JustFishingTV]

Nice break down. Kool flag alternative with the mod.

[@everettbriggs2559]

What kind of glue would you use for these

[@geoffreythekingfishing]

Regular Mend It will work for this guy!

[@yerneight]

How would you describe the drawing power of this one?

[@geoffreythekingfishing]

It doesn't have a lot of drawing power, the fish needs to be in close proximity of the bait with clear water to come and see it! That's because of the size of the bait in my opinion.

[@Zeta-fortnite]

What type of handle is on your bantam?

[@lucas_t7golfs]

Drt varial probably 100mm

[@geoffreythekingfishing]

I use a DRT Varial Handle in the 100mm size!

[@lucas_t7golfs]

@@geoffreythekingfishing it looks awesome paired with the new Bantam!👊🏻

[@Eturnal1111]

And you can get your own from eBay

[@el_weruso]

What's that first bluegill wedgetail bait?

[@geoffreythekingfishing]

I believe it is a fish arrow bluegill bait

[@パール-j8j]

I am Japanese and I’ve never seen Gill Soft sold in tackle shops in Japan.

[@huskiedude9830]

Damn that was sick, but where’s the bug video

[@omarhill7345]

If you could only pick one split ring pliers for your mothers and hinkles and under which one would you pick?

[@geoffreythekingfishing]

What's crazy is that I don't personally use split ring pliers but the only one that I own I bought in Japan. I currently just use normal pliers!

[@橘陸-y9c]

日本語上手😊ヤバイ👍

[@bigfah2506]

Could you too hook it?

[@Basketballjourney101]

YOSHA!

[@RomanFrank]

Have you tried the UFO swim baits or glides?

[@geoffreythekingfishing]

I have not tried anything from them yet actually!

[@RomanFrank]

@ they look pretty sick I’d be interested to see what you think

[@jojoslupski8123]

What pond is this 🫣

[@squonto47]

The one by that highway with the park.

[@jojoslupski8123]

@ thank you!

[@geoffreythekingfishing]

Chapparal Park!

[@archtx9]

How many times have you caught the same fish in that urban pond?

[@geoffreythekingfishing]

Not quite sure but i'm sure it has happened before!

[@cloutmaster965]

Someone needs to make the berkley hook holders for nessies/cullshads available for all softplastics. Would be dope for tyrants, flags, this bait etc

[@blakeherrmann9784]

Sick thanks again. Late.

[@brentbloomfishing]

3.5grams =0.123 ounces or 1/8th 7grams =0.247 ounces or 1/4oz 14grams =0.494 ounces or 1/2oz 21grams=0.741 ounces or 3/4oz 28grams=0.988 ounces or 1oz! Hope this helps someone

[@TheStackboy5]

You could just get a g flag 150 instead of cutting the tail

[@techtiger38]

Not a fan of the Wazzy. My friend Jimmy had one...lost the dern thing on the first cast.

[@Daiwa_Is_King]

Maybe jimmy should learn how to tie knots 🪢 😂

[@shawndulany4287]

Do you put 2.5 to 3 ounces of weight or grams did you mean? 2 or 3 ounces of weight is a ton of weight to put in it. You said ounces in the video so that’s why I asked maybe you meant grams lol

[@youtubzkoz]

2.6 grams

[@geoffreythekingfishing]

Grams! Ounces would be crazy haha

[@ricodog3652]

Just use live shiners

[@braddavis4472]

Them are heathy fish !

[@ILLUMINATHAN79]

🤫 😅

[@timisoutdoors]

Dude. Laying waste out there! #VAMANOS

[@ThroneOfDespair]

He thinks hes turning Japanese, he really thinks so....

[@daviddacuba132]

Wth is the point of zig zag, darth mauling your rod when reeling in the fish? I get if it changes direction you want to fight it the opposite direction, but keeping the rod tip up makes more sense than side swinging it like a baseball bat 🤨

[@McFish_Snatcher]

Sounds dumb to even fish with

[@heatholderinc4961]

I hate this baits. It's terrible
