That's awesome! Pelican kayaks are highly underrated. I have greatly enjoyed both that I have owned. The fall is usually a very good time on the Leon. Especially later like the end of November. I'll definitely keep you in mind to invite when I'm headed there next. Thanks for watching and commenting, the support is appreciated 👍

​@beardzerofishing sounds good, looking forward to it!

🤣😂👍... just when we thought their chatter was nice, turns out that they are talking crap 90% of the time! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

Thank you kindly! The support is always appreciated greatly 👍

Those topwater strikes never fail to bring a smile. I absolutely love when the frog bite is good! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

Can't beat that deal! Hopefully you enjoy it as much as I have. It helped me to catch my previous PB last fall and it was epic!!! Thank you for your comment 👍

I haven't had much experience with saltwater fishing. I have tried Berkley Vanish in a heavier rating and did not enjoy it at all. If I remember correctly, it had a ton of memory which really surprised me. Casting was not great with it either but, I only tried the one and not a bunch of different weight ratings to play around. That price tag is too hefty for me to play around like that with it 😂🤣👍. Thank you for your comment! Wishing you tight lines and good fights!

That is awesome information that I really hadn't given much thought to! Thank you for your comment!!!

At the end of the day, we all choose what is best for our personal fishing styles and techniques. At 7:1 that is a relatively fast reel and wouldn't be one that I would complain about lol. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

Thanks bro! I was a bit worried that this video would be a little volatile lol. It would seem as though I was wrong with almost 500 likes vs 3 dislikes 🤔

I have always kind of known they have memory, I just didn't know how well it actually was lol. Live bait definitely works well! Normally I don't use live bait like minnows, mostly for the difficulty it presents to move around on the bank with them while keeping them healthy. It's also hit or miss on even finding them in my area, only a handful of shops have them and they sell out quick! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

Thank you kindly! The support is greatly appreciated 👍

It is definitely Smallmouth candy 🤣😂👍! The drop shot is something I don't use alot down here in Texas. Normally, it's because I only have my baitcasters with me to not overcrowd myself on the bank or in the kayak. Thanks for commenting bro 👍

It is really hard to mess up the drop shot rig, even for beginners! More specifically I was talking about the weight, but it's not a problem if the worm touches down too, especially if it is weedless like in the video. If you know the depth, you can count approximately 1 second per foot to sink. So if it's 10ft deep, count to atleast 10. Otherwise, you can just leave your spool open to release line for a while. Another way is to watch the line as the lure is sinking, when it hits bottom, the line will stop pulling away from you and go Slack. Hopefully this helps! Thank you for watching and for your question 👍

The drop shot is definitely something I forget to use quite often. Then when that bite gets tough and I tried everything else... that's when the light bulb comes on lol! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

Thank you kindly! I thought it was definitely a relevant story to get the idea across.

I'm definitely ready for that first strike! Been fishing it every chance I could for a good chunk of time... just waiting on the bass to be willing to play ball lol. Solid weight guess, I'm hoping to catch a quality bass for my first one. Thank you for watching and commenting 👍. The support is always appreciated greatly!

😂🤣👍 Never heard that saying before but I could certainly get on board! Thank you for watching and commenting 👍

🤣😂👍 Thanks! I don't do that trick too often but it's always kinda cool when I do lol.

Thank you kindly! It was something new I was trying and almost instantly messed around and caught a PB on it 😂🤣👍.

Absolutely! Often times the "Big Industry" perspective can make it seem like certain aspects are important and you must have them... or else you won't catch fish lol. This is one of those things that is absolutely true but immensely unnecessary to pay attention to! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

Thank you for all your support! It is always appreciated 👍

Thanks for watching 👍

Solid guess 👍, definitely extremely likely to be in that range! Although I wouldn't mind catching a mammoth 10 pounder for the first catch on the glide bait 🤣😂👍. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I'm not sure I understand.... do you mean literally couldn't, like it wouldn't let you?

It is always a fun experience out at Tradinghouse! I have caught quite a few bass on the few trips I have made there and also made an epic discovery about bass behavior! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

Thank you kindly! Solid guess 👍 on weight... we should see real soon I hope. Although it would taste a lie to say I wasn't hoping to slay a 10 pounder for the first bass on the glide 😂🤣👍

Solid guess 👍... absolutely possible as that is in the range of the average bass I get from Stillhouse! Thank you for commenting!

And I would say that I greatly appreciate your confidence in me lol. Last fall I caught one about that size and it became my new personal best! Then a few days ago I caught one that was 7 pounds 4 ounces, it now sits as the new personal best. 6 pounds 8 ounces is a tall order to fill but absolutely possible on a glide bait! Thanks for commenting 👍

Solid guess 👍. I have been casting the BD Glider for a good chunk of time on every outing, learning it and developing a feel for it. Now I'm just waiting for the fish to play ball with it lol. Any day now... best of luck!!!

@@beardzerofishing I started using some last year. Got 1 about a pound, no luck after that.

@Paul_Kasper 🤣😂👍 That was definitely my concern and the largest reason I went with the 7" instead of like a 12" or 14"! Although we have the bass here that could chomp down those big glides easy lol

Thank you for watching and commenting 👍. That is absolutely what the industry wants you to think to make you buy more gear! In a recent short I made, I discussed this very topic. I will always use the fastest reel I can and never intentionally go with a lower ratio to match a bait choice. If you need it to be slower, then your own discipline to crank slower is more than sufficient. Presentation is only a fraction of what a reels purpose is and to select one for only that purpose is not efficient. You also have to fight the fish, often while they run right at you and you need to take up line fast or risk losing it (I GUARANTEE THERE WILL BE TIMES YOU DO). Or perhaps you see something bust the surface right after you just cast and need to hurry to follow up on it. In my experience, I have never complained about a reel being too fast but almost daily that it's too slow! You wouldn't see a race car crew plan their engine build for the Daytona 500 based on the caution laps... that would be madness! Although they happen all the time, drivers use their own discipline and let off the gas for that.

@beardzerofishing In my experience, high resistance baits, like deep diving crankbaits, are very taxing on the wrist when using a high speed reel and less so when using a lower ration.

I throw high resistance lures like a chatterbait, rapala shad rap deep divers and much more but have never noticed a difference of wrist strain with high gear ratio reels. That is more along the lines of physical limitations of the angler and is definitely something to be taken into consideration. At the end of the day, we all want to use what is comfortable! My video is more so geared towards just the fishing aspects and not towards personal preference for comfort.

@beardzerofishing You seem pragmatic and logical in the way you fish. Made me think and earned a sub. Tight lines! 🙂🎣

Thank you kindly! I take that as a very high compliment and greatly appreciate your support 👍. Wishing you tight lines and good fights!

🤣😂👍 Thanks bro! I figured I would share that since braid is a bit pricey... I know the one I use is $20+ for 500 yards. This doubles the life I get out of it and cuts cost in half... leaving more cash for wild things, like a big glide bait lol.

Thanks Mike! I thought I would try it out and what do you know lol. I had only made a handful of casts with it too! I had fished another chatterbait all morning with a Rage Tail Swimmer and nada. I also was using a different retrieve with the frog and was kind of horizontally jigging it along the brush to keep it in the strike zone longer!

Thank you kindly 👍
