I got skunked today bank fishing. So I decided to clean the trees from fishing ornaments. Got two frogs,a lipless crank bait,5 bobbers,idk how many weights and hooks,and 2 jigs. That’s a win day for me

[@RworldKM]

That twitch & pause is why the Jackall Dowzswimmer is so killer. Very interesting to see a soft plastic bait do the same.

[@LilDino808]

Glow design works

[@secretbassrigs]

Ike, you have to address the gorilla in the room. The Grow Design Works Flag 170! So far, the Berkeley design team has acted like they developed the Nessie configuration organically. They're so identical, coincidence is an insult to experience.

[@jnorth5689]

Every one who makes a trap acts like they designed it from scratch so what's your point. Every lure is just a copy of another

[@jnorth5689]

Ask the last influencer what happen when he started cutting up baits and comparing. It was a backfire because every already knows theres only so many ways to reinvent the wheel.

[@secretbassrigs]

@@jnorth5689 no, not true. The lipless crank is a basic geometric design without distinct features. And "the trap" if it was to be patented, would no longer be protected today because they run out after 25 years. LowBrow, seriously, wtf?

[@secretbassrigs]

@@jnorth5689 ask the Influencers? Pfft! You clearly have no idea what you're talking about, LowBrow. Typical. You probably have no clue what the Flag 170 even looks like.

[@larryhayes6002]

Mike, looking forward to fishing this. Just a suggestion for your vidographer, when filming on the water footage on a bright day, have them apply a polarization filter on the lens. It will cut out a large portion of the glare and make your bait footage easier to see. I use them all of the time in my photography work. Thanks again for putting out great content

[@troycote4503]

I am a Swimbait guy, and made a comment on Chris Zaldangerouss bait on Swimbait Universe yesterday and Zaldain chimes in and Called me out talking shit about his bait. His video, he said he had a bunch of time in designing the bait, and I called it a Magdraft 2 from the company that he just left. I just felt saying you got so many hours into something, whys it almost the exact same bait as the freestyle, just stiffer compound. I'm actually jealous that you have that backing to design a bait and that's what you came out with. I know Berkeleys done it too, but not this time! That's a badass, very innovative, absolutely needed bait that's super reasonably priced, 3 sizes, Awesome Bait!!! Ill be getting a few, especially the 9 in! Another thing, it's silent!! Im stoked Ike!!!!

[@cliffordbrown7140]

@troycote4503 hope this is a joke haha, this is even worse than Zaldain’s magdraft, this is an exact copy of the Grow Design Works Flag 170. Nothing new or innovative here it’s a joke. Ask Ike who fished the Flag 170 before releasing this garbage.

[@troycote4503]

​@@cliffordbrown7140Spoke to soon! I should have known better. Really sad thing is it won I cast best of show.

[@cliffordbrown7140]

@@troycote4503 No worries! It’s tough when it’s sold to customers as new and innovative. Sad these guys get reward for trash, Icast is a joke

[@Fishing_with_Fincher]

@@troycote4503this is all Berkley does…and why people should not support them. Don’t reward bad behavior and it’ll stop. Jumped off the Berkley bandwagon when they stole the Gilly design from Issei. The Gill Flat is a great bait and should have been credited for the Gilly but it wasn’t. The Cull Shad and Nessie are both downright stolen designs and I will put money on Berkley releasing a “Shad profile” that will be knocked off from the Grow Design G-Flag 150.

[@secretbassrigs]

Is it because Berkeley knows they have all the money in the world to draw out and out spend any IP infringement lawsuits because everyone else in the industry is too small in comparison? That's my guess.

[@SROTV..southernrebeloutdoors]

The problem is the japs are all smaller companies that can’t keep up with their jdm and us markets instead of partnering together with the original company or companies they rather take a short cut and cut out the Japanese company or companies and hassle of charging big money for just one bait by time they got them they probably would have to charge around 100$ for one they are trying to target not just the people with good money to waste but even the lower end people who shop for not so expensive products but keep the quality and as far as ik we don’t have international patents or copyrights to stop them from copying it I don’t think japan even has anything that can keep any other companies from copying products just my opinion on this

[@eliothiam6446]

As a designer I have to take issue with the outright copy of the Flag 170 swimbait. I understand that the industry is largely copy and paste, but that doesn’t mean that it should be. Designs should be improved upon when imitated. This is a case of a large powerful company copying a small companies bait, winning an award for it and making it more affordable, which will impact the Flag 170s future sales and profitability. For Berkley and their pros to claim it’s originality leaves a bad taste in my mouth and is an issue which needs recognition and addressing in the industry.

[@TWC6724]

I still want the cull shad! Now this!! I so want this too! Damn Berkley, take my money already!!

[@MainlakeFishguides]

Take my money.... I don't even bass fish but looks like a game changer. Thank you!

[@secretbassrigs]

[@kyleheinz6785]

Dang. I wanted to by every size every color. 😂 that 9” is going to the business. I’m 20 minutes from Okeechobee and 45 from headwaters.

[@kyleheinz6785]

That’s going to be a peacock bass slayer!!!

[@johnowens7435]

Mike, I had high hopes for the Nessie and I assume the 7 and 9” models are better but the 5” model just does not swim properly. It doesn’t really glide and the only way I get it to work at all is to add a light nail weight & fish it on a light-medium spinning reel with 6-8 lb FC. It can only be fished like a twitch bait or fluke and does not swim like a glide bait. I have heard this from others who just go their hands on the 5” model. Your thoughts? Have you fished the 5” model?

[@darkhorsefive0]

I just tried a 5” today that my son had bought. It was useless trying to swim/glide it.

[@christiancognigni6234]

Just looking at that thing makes me want to do the Ike scream! Imagine the fish to be caught on those... Ike, you have to be very proud of that, that's a game changer for years to come. What a pain in the neck the hard glides are and the landing ratio stinks... you know this Nessie is exactly where it's at if you've been fishing big baits. Next Spring, oh my goodness🤫

The six retrieves was a bit over the top. You can do the same thing with any bait. You can say 180 all you want but it never did it.

[@ulyssesm7606]

For new fisherman & gals just learning our art & way of life, it is spot on man. A very thorough 101 lesson & explanation. For seasoned anglers, you stop watching at your leisure. But if ya did that, ya miss how the hook landing went. Perfect for inshore & maybe near shore species. Mike, would it hold up for a bump troll bull or sail? 🤔 Awesome video man! ⚡🎣⚡

I guess my Cull Shad’s done…

[@svn45246]

I use a super fluke and put a nail weight in the throat ( size depends how fast I want it to glide down) how deep depends how much glide I want. Pull and stop. When you pull fluke vibrates with the tail kick, and when you stop, it glides exactly like that glide. I must have caught over 200 fish in the last 3 weeks. Dip the tail into some jj's magic. If they're around, they'll kill that thing. No 360 no active whatever and in a little John Boat. Just run the bank, and when you find a school fire em up drop anchor. Turn off your electronics and enjoy. Sat on 3 schools for hours last few weeks.

When Mike was using it as topwater, it works just like the Jackall Bounty Fish. Cannot wait for the accessibility that Berkley brings to U.S. market. The Bounty Fish is basically an online order with shipping. They also tear way easy, and i'm guessing based on Mike's presentation that it appears as tho it'll hold up better.

[@bassmanmatt]

@secretbassrigs i didnt base my opinion on the presentation, i did based on my personal fishing experience... bounty fish, although an awesome bait, do tend to tear easily. I only stated that they would possibly be better, because of my experience with durability of Powerbait soft plastics. It was speculation based on experience, not a definitive of any kind. And the bounty fish comes in 6"... which based on the bait Mike is showcasing, it cant be but a cpl inches bigger. I also said it "works" like a bounty fish, not that it was of same size or comparative to any other glide bait. Therefore, you're just not able to comprehend my message. It's okay, i realize there are many who have reading issues too
