Tiny Savage Gear 3D Blue Crab... is it good? (Lure Review)

[@pdoty13]

Just a drop of super glue will keep the little crab in place. It’s worth keeping on the boat, very useful for lots of things

[@blakezhuko3906]

I use one of those with a small strip of crab flavored fish bites. The reds and black drum go freaking crazy over it.

[@iChinQ]

Lure reviews might be my hands down favorite vids of yours, next to big snooks under docks of course

[@justin_menendez]

Thanks EJ!

[@notme6323]

Salt Strong put together a good video on this lure. I would recommend checking it out. Best fished just dragging across the bottom by sweeping the rod tip, or a slow retrieve winding the reel.

[@TheDjScotti]

I caught a Snook one time that had 17 baby blue Crabs in its belly ! About the same size as that lure !

[@justin_menendez]

interesting!

[@MrJoshdeuce]

Dude, that's a lot of baby crabs. Holy crap!

All your videos I have come to find you are the master at sight fishing! You make it look too easy! Continue doing what you’re doing! Great material!

I’ve been wanting a gheenoe for 2 years now. I’m buying a truck first, but I’ve officially built a “gheenoe” out of a fiberglass canoe. I cut the back off at a bulkhead and built a transom out of plywood and fiberglass. 15’ 5” long and it holds a trolling motor well. 45 pound thrust should push me along just fine in the backwater!

[@bipedalhominid6815]

You dont have a gheenoe. You have a flat back canoe. Gheenoes have a planning hull.

[@noahjohns7954]

@@bipedalhominid6815 I said “gheenoe” in quotes because it’s similar to one but not one. I could care less what anyone says about it let alone you, I styled it after a gheenoe and it works for me.

[@777sgiles]

You know probably the mangrove crabs fall from the trees sometimes and the fish are just waiting for that opportune moment. I watch Richard Gene the fishing machine and he has a tip to keep your soft baits up on your hook. He wraps some tooth floss around the hook then a drop of superglue then slide on the soft bait and let it dry. Works like a charm! Thanks for the great reviews.

[@superajchan]

I wanna get a gheenoe so bad man every one of your vids makes me want one even more! Love the vids bro I can tell there’s so much effort in your vids that’s why I watch all of them no matter what and look forward to it. Keep up the hard work man, we all see it

[@RustyReels]

I have these in my tackle, I just haven’t used them yet. Looks like I need to get them out!

[@2587scott]

The hook saver could be used like the rubber pieces on the hook of the NLBN mullet lures to achieve saving the crab from falling off the hook. Use a lighter to heat shrink it once you have it in place. If you think the hook saver piece is too big you could use scissors to cut it to an appropriate length. Also, you have a great channel here on KZbin! There are many of us that believe you should be getting more attention, views, likes, and subscribers. KZbin, it is time to bump him up!!!

[@johndovellos2661]

Great fishing! Did you use any scent?

[@remnard1]

Youre supposed to leave it on bottom and work it slow. Just pitch it ip against the mangos or pilings n let it fall. They’ll usually hit it on the drop.

[@jonkennard8272]

Exactly my thoughts to

[@kateskrmetta2022]

I love lure review and I don’t use lures much

[@christophermarinel5080]

Interesting to hear you’ve never seen the reds school up. Where are you fishing out of, kinda looks like Sebastian area? I grew up near Orlando and used to grind the flats in mosquito lagoon, the fish definitely like to school up more it seems like when working the flats, it’s a strength in numbers move is my guess, also the fish don’t gotta worry about having a big presence as they’re normally feeding on shrimp/crabs on the bottom. If your used to fishing mangrove bank lines I can see why you’re used to only seeing small groups of fish. You should def give the lagoon a shot sometime, it isn’t abnormal to come across schools of well over 100 fish, especially this time of year.

[@pdoty13]

IRL and ML have had huge grass die offs and the the fish numbers are way down. Not sure how recently you’ve been there, but it isn’t what it used to be.

[@chrisjones720]

@@pdoty13 I’ve been hearing that too

[@christophermarinel5080]

@@pdoty13 I fished there a good amount this summer but honestly spent most of the time catching snook, tarpon and reds in Haulover. I’ve fished the lagoon for the last 15 years and haven’t seen a snook/tarpon bite as good as this year on the positive side. The reds are definitely still there, but you gotta know which flats still have grass(not many) But youre totally right, many grass flats have died off, mainly 2.5 years ago, which sucks because the flats are my favorite forsure. I’ve seen flats die off and come back a few years later though so I am optimistic at the least. Tight lines

Hi Justin, Great video bro , just wondering why don’t you use a net to get the fish into the boat especially if there is a chance to lose it ? W and wondering what part of Florida you’re fishing ? Thanks

[@justin_menendez]

I don’t use a net in my Gheenoe because it’s just too much to keep in the boat. I see it as something that will get in the way while fishing.

My guess is in the Cocoa Beach area (1,000 islands). Not a lot of places have that many tiny islands, plus the water looks mediocre in terms of visibility. Been fishing the Indian River (north of the Beachline) and it's pretty clear. The farther you go south, the water clarity has been declining...just my 2cents.
