What I Wish Someone TOLD ME About Fishing the YAMATANUKI

[@kyleturner4231]

Alright, I'm convinced. I tried it this evening in some heavy riprap that I'm forever getting hung up in and caught 3 right away. It falls down in the rocks and you can pop it right out. 3 fish landed and zero break offs in rocks. This. Bait. Is. Rad!

[@wendellfishing]

Boom! That's what I like to hear. Get Some Brother!

[@jeffreya.greene6999]

Great Idea to Get All you can Out of Each Piece & Great Choice on the Hook!!!

[@wendellfishing]

Nothing but the best!

[@HomesteadOnThePreserve]

Catching bass on demand, that's what's up!

[@wendellfishing]

Brings some cred to the video :)

[@lowlifeangler]

Nice video brother! I need to try baits like that when the frog 🐸 is not working

[@wendellfishing]

Yeah.. I was surprised.. That Pop Frogz is another one I go to.. Usually before I head over to a frog

[@lowlifeangler]

@@wendellfishing Yeah, I have a Googan frog , Booyah pad crasher Frog and those solid Ribbit frogs for thick coverage. I want a ultimate frog by Live Target. Bur I really need something to punch through the coverage. Thank you for the video. The Expo had tons of bugs and critters for that

[@user-fd2bv5gs7o]

Great vid and tips! Definitely gonna try those baits!

[@wendellfishing]

niiiiiice!

[@wendellfishing]

Right on.. hope you grab a slab with em!

[@sarinadouglas]

I ordered the combo pack and rigged it. First cast I caught a small LM. It’s amazing what a small bass will try to eat. I also fish Ohio waters. Dude I woulda never thought that that thing would catch fish. Great video and thank you for the intel!

[@wendellfishing]

Right on! Congrats!

[@ernestgarcia755]

Thanks for sending me the link to your video of how to fish the lure, also how to get the most out of it by rotating it on the hook, I ve got to go get some and hopefully catch a few bass ! 🎣

[@F37K]

Sweet kayak brother! I love watching ppl slay bass on cheap, inexpensive lures/baits!

[@wendellfishing]

You got that right!

[@TrueNorthOutdoorAdventures]

Super informative! You’re gonna have nothing but confidence lures before long😂

[@wendellfishing]

That's the plan!

[@lewsgolffishclub]

Really good smallmouth lure for sure!

[@wendellfishing]

For sure!

[@BriantreVino5]

Great video! Im going to have to try those lures out. Thanks for your channel!

[@wendellfishing]

No problem 👍

[@jesussaves4770]

If you add a wacky rig o ring to the top where you insert the hook it squeezes the Yamatanuki better and saves the tip from ripping a little bit. Just sayin’. Maybe try it. I have seems to work. I have gotten a ton of bites on the Yamatanuki but frequently miss the hook set. I’ll try the 5 hook instead of the 4. Thanks for the video & great stuff!

[@colbynovar]

It was my go to bait last weekend on Lake St Clair for smallmouth, landed several fish in the 4 pound range, none over 5. Just wish the bait was a bit more durable. I could only find the 2.5 size, had a couple of fish really inhale it, I think the 3.5 would have been better.

[@wendellfishing]

For real... those things fall apart if you look at them wrong

[@theoutdoorhistorian]

I love this video! I just picked some up today but haven’t thrown any yet.

[@wendellfishing]

Awesome! You are going to love em

[@kyleturner4231]

I like the idea of this bait. Kinda like a stupid tube/senko hybrid. I love how simple it is to rig. I think I'll pick up a few packs to try out this weekend. Thanks for the information and tips.

[@wendellfishing]

Heck yeah brother.. also, something that is not in the video.. when you are reeling it in finishing up the cast. Give it one last pause before you pull it into the boat. If you have a follower.. they will nail it . Just picked up an 18 this past week doing that.

[@BeardedKayakFishing]

Just ordered some. Time to see what the excitement is all about😀

[@wendellfishing]

You are about to find out brother.. got 10 this morning on them.

[@gregchilders7643]

I have been using the 2.5 yamatanuki on bfs for pond fishing here in NJ. This bait is fantastic

[@wendellfishing]

Heck yeah! Get some brother!

[@geostrong3606]

What size hook thk u

[@gregstabryla9945]

Looks great but I can't afford every new thing. I carry too much stuff as it is. (I'll probably still get it). BTW, a medium power in those pads? Wow.

[@wendellfishing]

Yeah.. I carry too much as well my friend. What you can't really see is that I am fishing a huge open hole. I was in the pads to keep my boat from moving around.

[@gregstabryla9945]

@@wendellfishing I use the same strategy as well.

[@zachw3557]

I almost boughtvthese yeaterday

[@wendellfishing]

They are sick man.. really great bait for me where I fish in NE Ohio

[@adammitchell3462]

I just received a pack of the large yamatanukis and was very surprised at the weight of these things...I kinda wish I would've ordered the smaller ones

[@wendellfishing]

The Large ones pick up some big fish!

[@JC-Ivy]

Trying using it as a trailer on a micro jig. I’ve been using the zman and it’s a killer combo

[@wendellfishing]

ooooohhh... Trailer... thick and juicy

[@richardsousa2625]

Hey does anyone have a good trick for kayak cleaning? I normally spray mine down after every trip but I forgot once and now that scum line isn’t going away.

[@wendellfishing]

I read somewhere that multi-purpose foam cleaner (vehicle carpet cleaner) takes it right off in seconds

[@richardsousa2625]

@@wendellfishing here’s to hoping 🤞🏼

3:48 is bros paddel upside down?

[@dekelsey17]

Great video! I need to try this lure! Thank you! Which length is better in your opinion?

[@wendellfishing]

I start with the 3.5... and then when it rips at the offset bend.. I cut the end, put a heat gun on it, and downsize my hook to a 4/0 and fish the 3 inch Yamamoto, and then I do it again for the 2.5 inch :)

[@quelchx]

Random comment -- if your ever bored could you make content with tips possibly about good lures or ways to approach scouting/fishing new bodies of water in kayak? I come from bank agling and got into offshore angling this month and its an interesting transition between finding fish and what i throw offshore compared to inshore. I would watch it and i bet alot of people like myself transitioning would too

[@Acousdestruction]

Just ordered 2 packs.

[@wendellfishing]

You wont be sorry

[@jona5782]

Just got three packs, now I need to try them.

[@wendellfishing]

Right on brother.. tell me how they work for ya

[@jona5782]

Used the 3.5 black and blue flake, and got skunked. Tough pond tho always struggle. I did feel like they got hung up a little just because of the size. Will try again at a diff spot.

[@eddiedamionfitzgeraldricha861]

How do you figure this lure costs $1.25 . and if so where do you buy them

[@wendellfishing]

$10 for an $8pack on Amazon. geni.us/Yamatanuki (Amazon)

[@lowlifeangler]

Don't listen to him, just buy several packs of Yamamoto Yamatanuki. Twitch it on the bottom then see what happens. Then you be shaking your head, really? It was my fault I didn't have one tied on before launching the kayak.

[@wendellfishing]

:)

Me taking notes: “So hot….”😂😂

[@wendellfishing]

Drop it like it's hot SGT!

@@wendellfishing In high school we used to listen to Little John and the East side boys in the club. Now y’all watching him on HGTV like vanilla ice lol I never saw that one coming for either of them 😂🤣
