What I WISH Someone Would've Told me about Lipless CRANKBAIT Fishing

[@caseysaunders2137]

Good vid. I'm a huge lipless crank guy. I throw em all year long and while it's known as a fall or pre-spawn bait I've caught some chunks in the hottest parts of summer many times.

[@TimSnitch-v4d]

Bro you love to teach reminds me of Roland Martin you've become og fisherman by being so open with your valuable knowledg. Much thanks my dude!

[@brianpierson7708]

Dude is the double OG of Bass fishing on KZbin go back and look been here from the way way back before the way back

[@mikeybalzz]

Bro Eoland is on another level I probably know 132nd of the stuff he does LOL but I just try to share what I got

[@AaronKellerFishing]

So excited for this one. I don’t have too many grass lakes where I’m at but a lipless is something I want to get better at.

[@Cjdklh]

Same, I have a few lakes with grass near me, but lipless cranks are something I've never had a ton of confidence in.

[@rogerglasco5941]

Great crankbait video. Really enjoyed it.

[@areddfishing7473]

Thank you for this! Someone who struggles with traps i appreciate this. I never have had a lights out day on a trap ever.

[@mikeybalzz]

Cool I hope it helped

[@brandonhavis8526]

Bringing the juice, Mikey! Probably my favorite way to catch them in the late fall and winter.

[@BassAngular]

Thanks dude! I don’t have many grass lakes in my area but know I need to get better with traps.

[@mikeybalzz]

That's the one sneaky thing about trap fishing, you really actually don't need grass you just pretend like it's there and rip that thing

[@dalemayes3854]

Thank you so much for your help and information 😊

[@mikeybalzz]

Thanks for watching hope it helped

[@rickyreynolds9056]

I needed this in my life! 💪🏻

[@jasoncowick2376]

I’ve been loving a mh moderate rod with my lipless lately. Interestingly the same company makes my favorite lipless rod and my favorite lipless too!

[@gameon2081]

My man, in the south, especially Florida, you know the lipless crankbait is a must. You have to throw it during December thru February. 👏👍 Love your vids, I not even for how long now been following but keep going, dude.

[@mikeybalzz]

👊

[@bassmedic]

those traps work. caught my biggest bass on guntersville last year on a trap.

[@shelbymcelroy4525]

That shad was freaking massive!!

[@caseysaunders2137]

Biggest I've ever seen. That lake might be ideal for big swim baits

[@bobbyhogan9207]

Thanks for the tutorial dude 👊 Looking forward to Part 2. 😎

[@mikeybalzz]

👊 thanks man will drop next week

[@ronfeltonfishing]

Always good content

[@mikeybalzz]

Appreciate that bud

[@Juston-x4m]

Great video man, thanks

[@Liz_Zervos]

Right on. Puff puff pass. 🎣🎣

[@makinbigbassmemories6450]

Great 👍🏻 information were ever you are fishing this time of year

[@GR8smallie_angler]

I’ve been watching your videos here and there. This is by far my personal favourite. I’ve never really learned, nor have I really used these lipless baits here in Ontario Canada. I now subscribed to the KZbin channel. I’ll be tuning in to more of your videos. Can you compare the lipless steel version of the blade bait to the ones you’ve use today? Cheers

[@mikeybalzz]

Thanks for the sub man definitely tried if you have early milfoil growth up there when it comes to Blade Blades versus a leafless I usually fish them a lot deeper and treat them more like a spoon that you fish horizontally

[@Crankinstien]

Great video sir!

[@mikeybalzz]

Thanks for watching

[@nathanellis914]

I literally just threw a few red Thunder hawks in my tackle warehouse cart then I saw this video on my KZbin feed.😂

[@rogerclark-gi1hj]

With cold water I've had great success with a square bill

[@CommonSenseFishing209]

I wish someone would have told me you can work them like jigs. My FAV way to use em. I always thought you either had to reel em or yo yo vertical. LV500 has been hands down best lipless for me. I got tons of videos smashing monsters on lipless. Or as i like to call em Rattle Traps. All of em.are called rattle traps to me lmao. Kind of like used say hey lets go play nintendo when you might be playing sega or ps1 or 2 etc.

[@SpookyRedz]

Can I ask u why u don’t like the Red Eye Shad ?

[@justinmerritt388]

I dig it

[@mrlahey373]

How do you like the revo sx coming from mostly slx's?

[@garrettparker7885]

What’s the water temp down there right now ? I just fished nickajack today right above the dam and it was 38.9 degrees 🥶

[@Yeahyeah-catch-the-fish]

Lipless cranks is something I've always wanted to be proficient with. My lakes have limited windows for the presentation.

[@danmonahan8594]

You need to try a Scenkostix Chattertrap rod. I know they are pricey and cheap just like you but I will to spend the money on Alex’s OG 7’4” MHMF OG Chattertrap for the trap and a 7’6” Mag MHMF for a chatter donker I know you like transparent traps but Chrome and blue back is my confidence color

[@mikeybalzz]

Alex is one of the coolest guys and he makes a great product man I just love the bend on that xd3

[@Efishnseetv]

Hey Mike! I’m thinking about picking up an old 95 bass tracker tx17 on fbm… is there anything I should worry about with it being a riveted hull or anything…? Would love your input 🤙

[@mikeybalzz]

They are great boats but they are riveted so you need to be a little careful about slamming them into big waves and things like that but it's nice because they're very easy to modify and extend the deck only downside is battery space and Storage gets a little tight

[@Efishnseetv]

@ thanks ma dood! Ya it be my first boat so I was thinking of getting something older/cheaper even if I need to watch tiny boat nation vids and do some work to it… lol

[@dontnonowuno9953]

I seem to catch at least one eight pounder every February on a red lipless in shallow (3-6ft)grass . Hopefully i dont jinx myself by saying that!

[@dylanmcmurrey510]

Conveniently dropped this video right before the Rat-L-Trap tournament on Guntersville lol

[@mikeybalzz]

That may or may not have been intended LOL if you're fishing at good luck out there

[@crowe1974]

I so can't wait till the ice melts. Ugh....

[@patricklambert5622]

Shouldn't have shown that powerline tower in back ground!😂

[@wolverinex4243]

Get me on that boat and I will show you how it's done.

[@northernbassalliance1442]

Throwin a trap in MN you better have 100 of em lol. Pike steal 4 or 5 every trip. I hate it.

[@mikeybalzz]

They are the worst and they seem to love really expensive Glide baits too LOL

[@jdean1851]

AWESOME" THANX from Idaho! BE LYK MIKEY-IMO!

[@mikeybalzz]

Thanks bro

[@raytubach8988]

You’re one, Wyatt…

[@wolverinex4243]

It's a bunch of nonsense to me. Thunderhawk? Lol. Can't even take yall serious.

[@dgroves85]

Balls to the wall
