Well then bring it to Miami it'll live better

Getting bites… from mosquitoes not fish😂. This lure definitely looks like it was designed for a Ridley Scott movie. So cool looking. I had a similar experience where I bought a really cool looking bumble bee shaped bait and didn’t end up landing much on it. Switched over to a Trout Magnet in the same spot and started picking up fish right away. I think the other lure was just too big and/or strange looking for them. Great review.

One of my favorites in their ice fishing lineup besides the paralyzer

That lure might be meant for saltwater fishing.

It looks like a tiny Face Hugger from the Alien movies! Lol

Thanks for the video. Are those 3, 4, 5, or 6mm sized jigs per the link.

Thats no perch. Its a bluegill. Its in the sunfish family which also includes bass, crappie, rockbass, and a few others. Perch are not. Some people call crappies perch as well but they are not perch at all.

wrasse matazz !

Hi Fishing Nomad, good video, it's a bummer to see a second myan break off your line

Trout Magnet is wussup! LOVE catching big Gills, new Sub from Indiana.

That's a great spot. Both salvini and jaguars are on my list

Slavini's have been reclassified to the Trichromis genus.

13 fishing makes some good ice fishing baits, I throw them on small tungsten ice jigs all year for panfish in open water.

What state are you in?

Those BG-1 are fun. Very sharp hooks. Victor did a great job on them. Excellent review and 3 fish in less than an hour from the bank is not bad, at all! Great episode!

I think its worth it to point out that warmouth (in my opinion) have a bigger mouth then most panfish. You can lip a small warmouth when caught very easily unlike most panfish. I've always wondered if they weren't mixed with smallmouth bass due to their bigger mouth and longer build. I've also only caught them in the same systems where smallmouth lived.

I picked up a pack to try out recently. Nice sticky hooks. Ive been using a bobby garland itty bitty swim'r and catching gills, bass, and crappie. The itty bittys fall apart easy but they catch fish. I just do a slow straight retrieve, no jigging.

You said bread breast 😂

I returned mine. The mismatched tip was a foreboding. It didn't cast any better than a diawa procyon and was humiliated by the humble diawa laguna. I'm not a diawa guy but was shopping at Academy, and that was their selection of light power rods. The procyon was a super light (weight) rod but had micro guides, and this rod was for flouro line, which made them a handicap. (Edit:) I bought this rod to cast light lures (<¼oz) max distance with light flouro line, and have enough backbone to pressure a 5lb fish. Sensitivity was not on the list of priorities.

Excellent job on this Z-man series. I think most of us, after trying any one of the products, are interested in the others. You did a great job demonstrating the features of each. I am with you on the ideal panfish lure being under 2”. The smaller stuff just has a better hook up ratio for those small jawed panfish. Great catches!

I love bluegill and crappie so much . Easily two of my favorites for eating

I just recently learned that defecating in the water, attracts catfish

I bet the grubz would make a good trailer on zmans flashback mini chatterbait

Largemouth seem to love grubs 😊

Curious if it's just the challenge you're after or truly catching the fish. I was walking creeks and all I thought is how many I'd catch with a simple minnow net. Plan on doing that soon. Saw a darter in a very clean creek off the fox river with a blue band going down from it's eye and some blue bands on the body. Edit: the silence after letting the fish jump was deafening lol.

Definitely a green severum. Awesome catch

WOW!

The Stinger Z is a swimbait who smoked as a child, which stunted the growth of his tail.😂 Those Mayan’s were on fire for that bait. LOVE those shellcracker. Always a highlight when I hook one of those. Agree that the Zman stuff is definitely worth the price point. Very durable. Great video, brother.

Gorgeous Redear - I catch them all the time up here in Erie, PA. That one is darker than the ones we find up here.

Mayan Magnet

I have lived in S.FL my whole life and been fishing all the golf courses, banks,canals, lakes, etc...and the last 10 years or so I can find bream or sunfish anywhere ..its really sad. All we see are Myan Ciclids and Green Tilipia . I have an awesome pond behind my house with lost of peacocks, bass, snakeheads,etc., but all the bass are very very thin. I've been on a mission to find bream to reintroduce into my pond but I just cant locate them. I use to catch them by hand when they were young by using rice to bait them close to shore then snatch em up lol. AHHHH the good ol days

Space Guppy, nice. I’m also a fan of solid body tube baits vs the hollow kind. “Well it’s fish shaped…must be a fish in there”😂 That cracked me up. Beautiful catches, Nomad!

Hey Nomad i’ve always enjoyed watching your videos been. It’s been a while since I’ve seen any, but I’m back and I had a question for you. I noticed that you fish without a bobber Is that a better way? Does it make it more easier if you can your next video tell us about that.

I’ve really fallen in love with micro finesse plastics. Picked up a pack of these recently. Nice video!

🎣🎣👍

Love the Z Man micro baits. Durable like you said but also a lot of cool colors and sizes.I love them on a 1/80th jig or a 1/200th Trout Magnet jig head, sometimes under a fly fishing or Trout Magnet float.

“Unfortunately” what exactly were you expecting to catch with a piece of cut up shrimp? 😂

Just came back from Bermuda I caught a couple of those red hinds good video

Some nice bass and cichlids. I think you may be right about the tail impacting the hookup ratio. Give it another shot one day when the bluegill are present. They tend to inhale those. I was using a size 12 hook, though. Not sure how much difference that makes. Excellent video, my friend!

I'm going there this summer, can't wait. Will have to look into this!

How do you like that St. Croix Avid ?

Use Mule jigs, they have a little keeper on them that keeps the plastic from sliding down.

The color looks like the peach ring gummies.The z-man micro stuff is solid. Several folks have told me to try this Shad. I think Z-man and Nikko both use alien tentacles in their plastics. 😂 Unreal stretch. Some fantastic gills, bass, and a Mayan! Looks like that lure passes the test. You are right, that they are a tad large for the smaller panfish. Great video, my friend.

watching your video makes me feel so relaxed

I have had a lot of the tails clipped off by fish. Maybe I got a bad batch. Skipjack Shad will take the tails pretty often

Caught about 20 mayans on a shadfryz in the Tamiami canal before they finally got the tail off. One of my favorite baits to throw for multispecies down there

These little swimbaits work great in the fall during crappie season. Last fall, I caught so many crappie with the shad fryz. I even got the same avid panfish rod in preparation for this fall

I do hate having to fish lakes with that much vegetation. But as you mentioned you fish where and when you can. Great job getting that mayan out of those weeds. I remember actually going in to a pond and swimming along the line to get a five pound largemouth out of the weeds.

Looks like a fun day. I would have thought that those were coppernose bluegill.
