What Is The BEST Color Paul Brown Corky For GIANT Trout! (I GOT ONE!) Does Lure Color Really Matter?

Hey guys in todays video we are doing a fishing experiment to see if color really matters! I take two Paul Brown Corky colors with me that are the exact opposite to see if the fish will favor one color over the other! The results were surprising and we were able to catch some quality fish. If you like these wade fishing videos for big trout please let me know! We are still chasing after that true Gator Trout but we gotta just keep grinding! Hope y'all enjoyed this video! We caught an even bigger one in the next video!

Its so awesome when I find channels from my home town! I visit Corpus as often as I can. when I was a kid only the old men using these lures because I could never afford them lol. I am addicted to flat baits but these are so fun to use because of all the varieties. Really nice to meet you and your channel.

[@blakecasares1700]

That purple does work those trout head shakes were crazy bunch of studs 😂

[@jamesscarberry3128]

😂🤠 anyone who hasn’t done it needs to quit fishing because the thrill is gone. Great video 👍 I love it when they are coming at ya with their mouth open shaking their heads most of the time it’s a good one .🐟 gotta put the pink in the rotation!

[@StixHD]

Yeah the head shakes on the big ones are something special. I need to try pink more often!

[@omcbob37]

Nice fish on the purple. That color has always done well for me, but I was surprised to see how well it did under bright sun - I normally throw the purple under a dark sky or dark water conditions. Keep the vids coming.

[@StixHD]

Yeah purple did good early

[@biglesthomas1837]

Great video, the big girl showed up and showed out! That purple is the truth; it's a must to re-do this one just to see if the lighter color does matter. Love to see the pink and tequila sunrise go up against each other. Keep up the great work; the slow-motion is awesome to see the head shaking that is so cool. 👍💯✌🏽

[@StixHD]

Purple is one of my all time favorite colors lol. More good videos on the way!

[@alfredcanela6983]

yep

[@raulperez6683]

big fan stix! I follow alot of KZbinrs and i truly believe you have what it takes to be at the top of fishing on youtube. keep that up!

[@StixHD]

Thanks bro that means a lot! Gonna keep grinding and continue to try and put out good content! Got a lot of good things planned

[@JLU24DR]

I love how at 6:45 in the video you can hear that big sucker strip line before you even get to set the hook.

[@ssmacdaddy]

Very nice!!!! Dam them fish are solid!! The corky gave you the “ hasta la vista” 😅😭😭

[@StixHD]

Yeah quality bites for this video. I'll take those two bigger fish than a bunch of dinks any day of the week!

How about comparing Red vs. Chartreuse. Great video!!!

I got that T-shirt too man! It happens to all of us!!

[@Mike_The_Hog_A_Nator]

I was smoking huge 20" plus size Spec's using the Paul Brown Texas Chicken Fatty off the Quintana Jetties in late June 2022. Limuted out in 10min flat & started culling the 17" to 19" Spec's in Clear water & waist deep. 3 days in a row I was smoking the Trout! I had guys offering to buy my Fatty for $50 but it's all I had. Then a huge 26" plus came up just as I was about to pull it out & make another cast. He grabbed the whole lure, turned & snap! It was worth loosing a lure seeing that happen! Cut it just above the knot. I've never had 1 spit the hook either. I have all the Paul Brown's now. I'm a Paul Brown Fan boy now for huge Trout. If there's Trout in the water? They'll pull that Rod out of your hands! I was catching at dark just before daylight & after sunrise to 10a on that TX Chicken. It was beautiful 🤟

After you caught a 30" Damn I wish that would have happened to me 😂 Should have retired that corky

[@chancekammerer1939]

@@StixHD that was the plan! But one more cast what could it hurt......😅lmao

[@wreckanchor]

There must be solid sandy bottoms and very few drop offs in the gulf for all this wade fishing? Here in the Chesapeake if you step off the bank into the water you might sink to your knees in mud or step off a 3 ft flat into a 20 ft drop off.

[@StixHD]

Yeah tons of flats here in South Texas. A couple channels and drop offs but nothing crazy like y'all got over there. I've been in knee/thigh deep mud multiple times lol.

[@albertochoa1922]

What wading belt are you using??

[@BrscMC]

my last trout video, I was fishing a new topwater lure and after catching my first trout. I made the same mistake. had to walk through the feeding trout to get to my lure. 🤦🏻‍♂️ waded a ways away. came back around and found them there again, caught them on dsl though.

[@mikemaynard2044]

interesting retrieve....looks like up and down then a drag? Can you desribe your retrieve style please

[@laketogulffishing]

That bite was insane!!!

[@coreylett5728]

Love video. Monster trout Those corky are amazing for big trout. I'm curious to find out if they work as well in the summertime. If you get a chance please put out a video later this year. Using corky's at nighttime fishing and summertime.

[@StixHD]

Thanks bro. I definitely will! In the spring/summer I will switch over the the "floater" I plan on making some videos using the floater and going over them.

[@YAKINGWITHDREW]

One and done that corky didn’t have a chance lol! Good stuff bro!

[@FishiganMilligan]

Definitely some solid trout there brotha! Purple is one of my favorite colors for trout too.

[@StixHD]

Thanks bro appreciate it! Purple always does good for me

[@davfinport]

My best fishing trip ever I caught a couple of 25 + trout in the surf at 3:30 am full moon. I could have caught more if I wasn't so drunk. Knock off Tsunami corky with glitter in the belly, pumpkin chart or something. In between the beach and the 1st bar! Big dogs are out late (early). This was Galveston, so huge fish for this far up the coast.

[@davfinport]

FTU had the knock offs on sale for like a dollar a piece, the only reason I had them. PB corky is in a different league, no disrespect!

[@mikemaynard2044]

Great wading trip. Did you use the new laguna rod? How about giving the specs on the new laguna rod you have now. Would love to have one. Is it the 1,2, or 3 and what length? Medium light?

Thanks bro appreciate it!

[@YayaOrchid]

What is your opinion on using 10lb braid on bait casting reels? Most mention to use 15-20lb as it doesn't dig into the line spool.

[@StixHD]

I've never used anything under 20 lb on a bait caster so I'm not sure. 20 can dig pretty good if you get a backlash. I'm sure 10lb would be worse. I use 10 lb braid on all of my spinning reels though!

[@YayaOrchid]

@@StixHD thank you

[@davidmacdonald2876]

Have caught trout on so many different colors over the years. I believe lure colors and patterns for the most part are more for catching fisherman rather than the fish.

[@rickyavner]

That's one reason I always carry atleast two of each color lures

[@StixHD]

I always carry way too many with me lol. But since I was filming this video I only took two so I would stick with it lol.

[@simonemidy6158]

Looking at a lews for a Laguna medium light. That ultra light 4.0oz pros Cons? Other lews baitcast to consider. Have the money $. Just not sure which one. Thx

[@StixHD]

Its crazy light. Have only had the reel for a couple of months but I like it so far.

[@jeremyortiz888]

My two favorite colors to throw especially that white and I’ve thrown them off 3 times like that also 😅

[@greogorybilliot1435]

Great video. Why were you bending the front and back of the corky?

[@StixHD]

You have to fix it after every hit to make sure it will run straight and have the action you desire. Here is the best video out there explaining how to use it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIuldn55j9qEmMU

Never seen anyone advocating releasing over 20. I have always done that with anything over 22”. Sent a nice 23.5” back today. Did happily keep a couple 20-21” fish today though. From all the research on growth charts I have seen, 20” seems a bit excessive. Would you mind explaining your reasoning? I am always open to reconsider my opinion.
