I've had these in my arsenal for a hot minute now but didn't even think twice to fish it some of of ways you did. Great video man keep these commin

[@Nate_Higgins]

Man, glad I'm not the only one wrapping lines from one rod around another rod. Had a total scat show on my kayak yesterday morning. Recently found your channel. Now is my favorite. Thanks for keeping it real there man. Especially love you conceptual vids. I now know the difference between coontail and milfoil. Which means alot to me for some reason. Your video on emergent grass was the only one I could find with such good description.

I've done it more this year than any other, started ultralight fishing, that line gets me buggered

[@unicornsteaks6769]

I lost a $35 swimbait once when I got the braid from one rod wrapped around the mono leader on the swimbait. Apparently, the braid just sawed right through 20# Big Game. I watched helplessly as $35 sunk slowly into 20' of water.

[@Nflguy4949]

I was fishing a large pond that has several big rocks under water that tend to snag my line. So I casted a weightless senko a little too close to those rocks (just past them). Then retrieved the senko rapidly so it would be on top water and not get snagged as it returned to me past the rocks. A big old bass attacked it like I was fishing a frog!

[@vincentgelles3805]

Cool review, Tyler! I actually caught a 5.8 pound largemouth from shore on the 3.5 cover scat. She was on a bed and full of eggs, which surprised me because it was mid May and I thought all the fish in the pond were done spawning. I’m in Eastern North Carolina and the spawn was pretty much over by the end of March in the small ponds I fish.

[@davidbrown-55]

Nice report. Going to have to try that new looking adult store lure. Your reviews are great to watch. Thanks boss

[@threeriverstackle1675]

I was a sceptic at first but after finally putting one on for the first time after I could not get bit on other plastics that should have worked, it was like flipping a switch and the bite turned on like nearly every cast in the area I was trial testing it. Since then it has landed so many bass both LM and SM in the States as well as Mexico Bass lakes. We now stock every size and color available and for good reason, they flat out work!

[@albertojvel]

For those of you wondering about ideal hook size: I use a 3/0 Owner Haymaker EWG for the 3.5" Cover Scat. Great hookup ratio, less rigidity in the bulbous section of the bait which results in more action, and the bait's plastic doesn't tear as much. There is no need to run anything bigger, and running the smallest hook possible reduces the chances of gut hooking the fish - believe me when I say they swallow this thing. The Deps Japan website recommends 1/0-2/0 for the smallest one, 3/0 for the medium one, and 6/0/-7/0 for the big one. The Fish Arrow Heavy Poop is a similar JDM lure but their plastic is significantly more dense and not in a salty way, so even though the 3.6" poop is roughly the same size as the 3.5" Deps, a 5/0-6/0 hook works best. I find that if you're going for a slower fall/more subtle presentation/top water versatility, go with the Deps. If you want a more streamlined fall/more aggressive fleeing crawfish action on the bottom, go with the heavy poop. He's right about the hard hookset. I use a 7'3" MH Fast rod with braid to a fluoro leader. Reel up all my slack and wack em.

[@johngoss3997]

Gotta love how we obsess over matching the hatch and buy HD patterned lures… And then bass eat this thing.

[@PenguinOutdoors]

Different is always the key! I actually use YT a lot to find older trends. For example if I see that coming into the 23 season some particular bait or a handful are being hard promoted and everyone is like "this is the one!" I cross those off (mostly) and start jumping back in time to see what was hot in 2018-2020 and I throw that. Show them something different! If YT loves x, then a ton of people will be buying and throwing X and I want to show the fish C. Tight lines!

[@jamesbarron1202]

Those are very similar to a local Dallas Tx. bait made back in 1992. The Phantom PHish Stick. I still have some and they were a great bait. Looks like a soft zera spook.

[@joeypanel1493]

Been using the Scat for about a year , I told my brother this bait was going to replace the senko ... I love the smallest size for clear water . Only downfall is they are very soft and tear easy, expensive bait to blow through...

[@Jandro_tcg]

Saw this video a while ago. Bought them a while ago. Finally used one today & I got a nice bass & a whole lotta bites. Easily out performed everything else I threw out today including every other Texas rug soft plastics I threw out

[@Jandro_tcg]

I used a 1/4 oz tungsten with a 2/0 ewg

[@Jandro_tcg]

I’m going to try a 1/0 ewg tomorrow

[@DFWdarin]

It looks a lot like a phantom tackle fish stick which came out shortly after the sluggo came out and it got a lot of bites but it was hard to hook them cuz of the plastic was tougher than it probably should have been.

[@mikegardiner3934]

thanks Tyler! Yep i saw the price on those few months back and thought ‘no thanks!’. Of course that’s before i saw you fish it and learned more about it. 🙂 I may have to try them now. haha

Dude, you're an amazing fisherman. I love watching you. I'm having so much trouble bank fishing for large mouth bass. I'm using a 5 senko wacky rigged and only caught 2 bass in 60 hours of time. I'm hoping it's bc I'm fishing areas where fish are too pressured. Have you experienced this?

[@austincasner7389]

I have the same problem at some of my local lakes. I honestly think it's just because they're heavy pressured areas and I know there are some very nice bass in those lakes. I think trying some finesse fishing might help.

[@davidmcdonaldfishing3018]

It has replaced the senko for me. I'm to impatient these day for a slow sink line watching thing, and the way I fish, and I have found these as a compromise for me, when the senko bite is on. They sink faster and are like you said more versatile. It's still a "situation" bait like the senko but a lot more versatile. And they bite it. We like the 4 in best on clearlake but have found the medium size works better on the deeper Clearwater nor cal lakes. Cheers good review

[@bassman6211]

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the Ned though? Those scats are heavy chucks of plastic that sinks pretty fast by itself. Maybe in deeper water I suppose or if the bass want a faster falling ned?

[@CHOPERUS23]

Do you realise adding salt by the manufacturer isn't because it's an attractant. It actually deteriorates the lure quicker so you buy more often. Also makes the plastic tear easier too.

Nothing will replace the senko. But I will have to try these. Love the vids bud, keep it up.

[@1221Ralph]

[@bentist]

These are great for shore fishermen. Especially in pressured areas. You can cast these things a mile. Way out to where fish may hold away from the reach of most fishermen. With the finesse presentation and atypical appearance…they get bit. I’d say you almost cannot fish these things slow enough.

[@rodcashman4793]

Sure looks different. At least your catching fish. Thank you for sharing 👍

[@helotaxi]

You might have better luck on the screw lock hook if you swap out the screw lock for a larger size. Less likely to tear out.

[@Skylers-fishing]

That bait reminds me oh a senco mixed with a Ned rig

[@pitching7577]

If it’s anything like the Senko then it will tear very easily and you will go through way too many for the money. I’m sure there are alternative lures to this one too just like there are for the Senko. Thanks for the info and video.

[@maxcole3930]

I haven't tried the cover scat yet but I've seen it for a while now. Definitely a odd looking bait but I don't doubt that it will get bit. Catching bass on a terds! I use twist lock hooks all the time, I'll use them on flukes, worms, ext. They definitely save on baits
