Using This Japanese Crankbait Trick Catches Tons Of Fish!

[@Shawn_Lai]

Straight FINESSIN it lol. Gangsta Gryff getting linked up!

[@stevetucker7230]

Try a #8 x-rap works good like that. They do this out in the state of Washington for deep smallies.

[@gstixfishing9746]

I did this in lake Washington when I was a kid. But more of a classic Carolina rig style

[@jessehernandez743]

I've been do that technique with small balsa shad cranks since 1979.

[@bigredbass7898]

Geoff and Griff out on the water having a blast. Love it. Its been a rough week but this was awesome to see. God bless.

[@gstixfishing9746]

Yes

[@dant8213]

I've been doing that with a shallow shad rap in the winter months for years, works great when you can't get a jerkbait deep enough

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

👊🍻

[@Bobby2778]

I used to do something like this at CG. I used super slow sinking iWaver 60, and 2-3 feet up I add a 1/8th oz splitshot. Some thing, let it sink, whip it, let it rest, whip it. A lot of times they got it on the fall, but if I made it to the bottom, this was always good for a bite. I’m going to try this out here in NC.

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Let us know how it goes! 🍻

[@dontdoxmebro1780]

Try the deep tracer rig on shad crank similar concept but keeps it off the bottom better. Also you can swim it similar to drop swimming a crank. Different look then a deep diving crank or a soft plastic.

[@NFiltr8Red]

I’ve been doing this technique for a long time, works great on Halibut too

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

I could see that!

[@robertramirez908]

Same here, I tie a dropper loop with a torpedo sinker. Great for socal surf fishing

[@nickkerr5714]

Ha, when I saw this I was like a Carolina rigged crank is a go to for inshore halibut guys

[@brianwilson4184]

Good stuff Griff as always , last time a saw u in a kayak u were swimming . I was in the shop Thursday and you weren’t around. Saw Ben holding the fort down. Nice explanation of baits and techniques. Be safe

[@gstixfishing9746]

Come closer to the weekend

[@gregoriomedellin4197]

good choice on the kayak old Town all the way

[@gstixfishing9746]

I love it

[@MrPhoenix1800]

Have you guys noticed any line nicks or line failure since the line may be rubbing the bottom? And if so does upping the line test help or probably a line that’s better at abrasion?

[@woefman9467]

Wtf 30 sec in and already convinced....cant wait to learn more

[@TerpDerp]

Love the kayak perspective. Do more!

What weight are you using in this video? They come in 1/8, 3/16 and 1/4 oz? Sorry, I heard the answer at the end, thanks. Great video.

[@JoseMartinez-dq4km]

Great video interesting technique

[@gstixfishing9746]

Definitely a fun way to catch them

[@nachopretzel3533]

I've got a tough local lake this would work at. Super deep and small bait.

[@vincentfelix4554]

love how open and knowledgeable you guys are to all kinds of styles of fishing , I'm a big fan of all the bfs content you guys make!!!!!

Thank you for watching! 👊🍻

[@elmanguilimotan9906]

is your boat applicable in Saltwater during windy?

[@justinstruyck9989]

Rad video braddah 🤙🏽 so that's what you were using to catch all those fish you told me about at the top of the ramp. I told my buddy you probably caught all of them on a jig. Oops my bad. 🤙🏽 thanks for the video.

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Thanks for watching man 🍻

[@buzzjet1914]

Thank you. Will use it for smallies, lake trout and walleye. Quick question: you said 18inch leader but it did look more like 30inch unless you have tiny arms!...Could you confirm the length of your leader?

[@gstixfishing9746]

It looks like I have a long leader but it’s definitely around 18 inches

[@ThePlayerh8ter]

What trolling motor do you use?

[@gstixfishing9746]

That’s a 45lb minn kota … not sure the model because it’s built into the kayak

[@johnhodson5120]

Can you show how you'd cast and retrieve that technique? The way he's using it would be illegal in a tournament. That would be considered trolling

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

You can cast it. You can jerk it. You can drag it. However you want to fish it.

[@gstixfishing9746]

Just like a Carolina rig… then jerk it

[@MrPhoenix1800]

You could just peg a egg sinker not sure if that would move but worth a try to not have to have extra stuff in the box if it works.

[@gstixfishing9746]

Egg sinker plus bobber stops = 2 items… Whip sinker = 1 item… definitely less stuff in the box with that

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Plus I know it doesn't seem like much, but the design of the whip sinker prevents 99% of tangles that will absolutely happen with other style weights; especially when you jerk it.

[@MrPhoenix1800]

True didn’t think of the line twist. Gstix I was bringing that up as if you already carried egg sinkers and pegs only. Either way it’s a very interesting idea thanks for the video on how to fish it.

[@jimb1283]

Good one. I guess I have to spend a little more money.

How long does it take to sink that down 50ft?

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Maybe a little longer than it would to get a drop shot down there.

Not a crazy long time…
