Debo, I turned 66 on wednesday and to be honest I don't think there is anything better than a video done so that just about anyone can watch it and get something out of it. I learn things of critical importance from this channel every time I watch it.
@@DEBOSFishing put some mineral oil in the bag of crunchy old hula grubs and it’s should help them get soft again. Leave them for a few days and they should be good as new
Debo, I've been a subscriber for less than a year now. I'm a huge fan of tacticalbassin and some other channels, but what sets you apart is you're a bank angler like a lot of us. Makes you a lot more relatable. I've learned so much from you man, keep it up. And if I couldn't respect you any more, you earned my trust knowing you're not trying to bleed us for cash. Nothing but respect debo! 👊🏼
Hello Debo, I have been following you since I started fishing late spring last year. I like your explanation of what your doing and the details. I do bank fishing and your advise has helped me out. I have bought a lot of fishing gear and a lot of soft plastics. Thanks for being truthful and no BS. I like your explanation on your unboxings. Thanks
I just realized how well you talk with your hands Debo. I think that is one, of many reasons, people enjoy your videos so much. Keep up the good work and GO HAWKS.
No gray in your beard so I know I am older than you. Glad to see you have a diverse audience, it’s a testament to your style of channel. Fishing, knowledge, unboxing and a touch of humor. Keep up the great work.
Love the unboxings. It’s one of my fav vids to watch. Get to see what’s new, what’s different, and some other stuff I wouldn’t ever think of looking at.
Hey Debo's! Bought some black and red skirts for my old spinnebaits that the skirts dried up and crumbled off. The rest of the spinnerbaits were in mint condition. Can't wait to try them out this spring and summer. Went fishing today. Very windy. Worked really hard to get 5 bass today. All on the Sexy Shad squarebill again. They were all dinks! 74 degrees and sunny. Wind speed up to 25 mph blowing into the North bank. Thought I would just slay them. Not! Just couldn't get a grip on what to use to catch em" The bass are not on the nest yet here in Indiana. Where the Hell are they? Shawn
@@DEBOSFishing There was a mud line from the wind. They fish have just off. You could be right. The spawn could be on. Any suggestions for what to use during the spawn. What is your go to lure? Shawn
Chompers are the best. Great "gateway" lure for people who want to gain confidence with jig fishing. It's what got me hooked on jigs. Good call using old jigs with bad skirts!
Finally had a chance to watch! I always enjoy watching your unboxing viDebos. I might look for the lure cover that you got from tackle warehouse. I’ve been trying crankbaits a little more. And that’s so cool that you now have a PO Box! Might be sending reels to get your opinion and maybe you can do a review?
Hell yeah I got my box in yesterday and I got the wife some gear also so now she is going for the Dinks thanks D always make me and the fam smile appreciate the videos
Debo flukes are so versatile. You can rig it any way you want. If you accidentally put on too small of a hook you can always rig it upside down so hook point is in the belly slot. Better hook up that way. I was using too small of a hook and was getting slammed but lots of misses. I put hook in upside down and definitely made a difference.
Thanks Debo. Have you tried the Yamamoto D-Shad? It's a heavier fluke style/soft plastic jerk bait. What's different is that you can fish it like a jerk bait but it will also sink on the pause and shimmy with a level fall like the Senko. I fish it weightless T-rig on an Owner twistlock 3/0 or 4/0
Definately yes on the Neko, caught my biggest bass yesterday on a Zman worm. Really curious to see how you do on all the red baits. Only used red on lipless cranks, and caught cold water bass. Keep up the great Videbo’s. 🎣🎣
Cool unboxing vid. Just picked up some Berkley bearded crazy legs chigger craws from Bass Pro which were on clearance. Never used them before, so would like to see how you fish the skirted grubs
I like Tactical Bassin and Debo vids before watching, I can just tell you both love this like I do. Keep the honest vids coming! Do you ever fish 9”+ glides?
Those skirted grubs is the only thing that the bass will eat at my honey hole. I use these almost everyday. Pumpkin and dark blue are the juice all day. Thanks for the validation DEBO.
Love the vids my dads favorite color has been tequila sunrise for the longest time. He also got me into fishing and thanks for the best info on fishing here in the midwest.
Awesome tackle unboxing as always Debo. Always want to go out and buy some new baits and tackle after you do these videos. I have 0 confidence on tequila sunrise, have never gotten so mush as a bite on that crazy color. But......if you do a tequila sunrise only video and catch a bunch of fish..... might make me a believer! Those Rage craws looked 🔥🔥🔥
Hi Debo, I have a tip for the kinked soft plastics for you. When i run into this issue i drop the baits into pot of hot water and the baits will straighten right up.
Hula sticks absolutely whoop em around here (SE Michigan). They're not always on, sometimes they prefer the TRD, but when they prefer the hula sticks they just slam em. The ticklers are little short hula sticks, and they like those too. If they're really chillin and don't want to go for it on a nice windy day, you can leave it on bottom and you get good action sort of like a baitfish tail kicking on bottom while he's eating I've just started using the Jackall Yammy fish for my Neds (1/6oz and up, so it stands a little better) and I freaking love them. They have em in a green pumpkin with a lighter colored tail, and I have had awesome luck on those little guys. They cast nicer than TRDs on smaller heads too. Love the vids man.
Hello mr Debo about the fluke you want it jacked up because you want that erratic action out of it you don’t want it straight that’s why I put mine in a small plastic bag so that it can’t lie straight and gets a bend in it. Give it a try also use a barrel swivel so you don’t get line twist. Give it a try I think you’ll like it
Another great video Debo. You always have great unboxings. Have you thought about picking up one of those Favorite Soleus reels? I should have one in tomorrow. And I’d love to see someone I watch throw the big 120 choppo for bass.
I have looked at those. I think there is a version two coming out so I'm waiting. I had a lot of success on the 120 choppo last year. Caught my largest fish of the year on it!
I had my best luck with the ZinkerZ when neko riging, except the weight can be difficult to put in the elaztek. The solution is to heat it with a lighter then insert the nail weight.
i am a og too and like watching u the hula stick is a great bait with many uses red will work all year not just spring.have a great day keep the vids coming.
Hula grubs are one of my favorites. Hard to find in a lot of tackle shops though. I am interested in seeing the productivity of the red swim baits. I got some a while back and just truthfully never had a chance to really use them yet.
You really have and still do put together the best unboxing gear videbo's.... You give great insight on the how and why's that so many anglers try to hide, like they are gonna win the tour and the Classic next year with their hidden secret, when really, it is the same shit everyone has been doing for the last 4 generations lol. Try the Orange and Green Pumpkin from Zman, killer her in SoCal. especially during the craw season. Tight lines D.
Hahab I have nothing to hide or nothing new that others haven't used. I just love to fish and talk about it! Folks like you who support are the only reason I'm relevant 👊 Appreciate it far more than you know man!
@@LeatherNeck1833 if you leave the eyelet if the hook exposed (don't take as much soft plastic when rigging), it can sit on that. Or you can peg the weight, which will keep the skirt in place (like a punch skirt)
@@ryana.7510 Oh, ok...Gotcha! I have a few extra skirts that I may try that with. Thanks for the new tackle tip.👊 Edit: I carry beads in my terminal tackle box that would work perfect for keeping the skirt in place.
when your soft plastics are bent, get one of those little plano waterproof 3400, put a single color of the bent baits in it and lay them as flat as you can. spray with reelsnot or some sort of line/lure lubricant (I found garlic reelsnot works the best) and leave it in the sun while you're fishing. the baits get warm and will relax and a lot of times they will take the natural shape
The kink in the flukes doesn’t matter that thing still has great action and the fish love it still. And I also use a 1/4 oz weight and a 1/0 VMC flipping hook on those trd bugs and it’s fantastic for finicky fish. Tight lines brother...keep up the awesome vids man.
i wanna see you do more top water videos of things you don’t usually thow! so no frogs lol i can’t wait to see if that hula works and if the red works , i too got some red kietechs and chatterbaits and never caught a thing on it
I am pumped to see you have the trd bugz. I have been trying to find them local before i buy online. But i think im gonna have to go online. But im sure thay would make a great jig trailer an texas rig round wood. Caint wait to see them in action.
Mr. Debo, enjoy your videos. I have had some pretty good luck neko rigging the 4.5 quiver. Actually going out to try the 6.5 today. And a bait you should try is the new drop shot bait from missile that has the same tail as the quiver. I used some and Texas rigged them and have never seen so much movement. Can imagine how much more if nose hooked. Look them up. Stay safe and God Bless.
I also have an old package of the Chompers Grubs. In fact the garlic scent/juice leaked out of the bag and stunk up my entire soft plastic bag. I had to take that sleeve out. I might try those dock bangers. My hands might be smelling ripe after that outing.
I still have a ton of the Yamamoto double tail grubs that are just like the skirted grubs from when i lived in Michigan. I used to rig those on the clear rubber headed thing you showed and absolutely crushed largemouth and smallies on the Grand River
The hullagrub isn't forgotten brother. We just don't talk about it. Theres a reason they still sell them. Lol. My favorite is from gary yamamoto. Worth the money. You mentioned the skinny dippers. My favorite way to use them is weightless. Burn it on the surface. It's like a wake bait. That's what they were ordered designed for was swimming over grass. I'll remind you to do it later this season. There was something else I was gonna say but 20 minutes later I forgot. Lol. Sweet unboxing tho!
Solution for the Flukes that have a bent tail: Put them on a bladded jig. I have found that while the straight Flukes work well on bladed jigs, the jacked up tailed ones work even better. The curved tail catches water better and gives it more kick. Try it!
I went out for a little bit a couple hours ago and lost one that was at least 4 pounds. I'm going to try a different spot this evening. Tight lines everyone.
I know how it is Debo, haven't had much luck either lately so I took some of my time and thoroughly cleaned one of my baitcasters thanks to your videos (definitely helped). I would like to see some fluke videos I've never got into them or know how and maybe some chatterbait making videos.
Debo can you make a video on how you deal with ticks for this up coming summer, i went to scope out a new pond location today and had one on me and almost had a heart attack. I just recently moved from Florida to Ohio, so I'm use to having the luxury of having a fishing location near the side of my house (canals and lakes) no actual real woodland areas. Do you have any advice?
The flashy swimmer caught last years pb. They also drew a bite for me in highly pressured water when it was hot as crap last year. That been said you’ll probably have bad luck with them 😆. Also I used the silver willow blade not the bronze Colorado blade.
Great stuff, got to get some under spins to try for sure.I already love swim baits. I also want to try those swamers! Thanks for the video Debo. Can I use a devil horse on my 13 fishing black fate rod? Its a 7 1 med heavy
I picked up some TRD in the bubble gut color. I've been getting more into the red too. Also got some TRD ticklerz. Going to try them out tomorrow. Got one pack in The Deal and man do they look good!! I even bought a new dedicated ned rig combo haha!! You created a monster! Also got some of the TRD craws I'm excited to try.
The scrounger head I never have any luck have you caught a fish on the heavier scrounger throwing it in deep water? I've had no luck! I'm slow rolling it too
Devon an idea for a future video you could do on repairing those old hula grubs is repairing them with some Mend it. The old ones you showed were originally put together with a type of super glue that was why they had hard spots in them. Just a thought. Feesh on.
You should try the damiki armor shad. Just like the fluke but better quality and don’t have issues with bent tails. I have much better luck with them over the zoom.
Good luck putting a nail weight in elaztech...lmao that seems like it would be impossible. Kind of like trying to put a CPS spring in elaztech. Brian Latimer acts like you can put a CPS spring in thing(sponsored, of course he does) but even he had to cut to the part where he was finished because he was struggling so much(his recent swimbait video). As far as ned baits go, elaztech really is fantastic. Catching a few dozen fish on 1 bait is pretty awesome if you're on a bunch of fish. With Z-mans swimbaits I wish the tails would kick at lower speeds. I'd totally be using them all the time if I could use a slow retrieve and still get a kick like I can with regular plastics.
Yeah, we'll see how that does. I got somw neko weights for those. Someone said heat up the end with a lighter and it makes it easier...I'm going to try it@
I hesitate to use a fluke, because I fish stained/dirty water all the time. I figure I’m better off with a regular jerkbait, since it will dart more and has rattles. Am I wrong about that?
Hey Debo it would be cool to do a unboxing on nothing but clear water lures or maybe just a video of some clear water lures you have because I fishing clear water it’s it’s hard to get bites sometime!! Also been fishing at lake amistad here in Texas and for the most part where we been fishing it’s clear rocky bottoms!
Debo have you seen the Berkley champ craws? I just found out about them. Picked up 10 packs. Think they are going to replace all of my craws and trailers. Can’t wait to go out and try them tomorrow. Love the unboxings!! You must have soooo much stuff at your house. Lol can we see a video of your supply’s and how you organize your tackle🎣 🎣
A little of the topic, but when you did the distance test on the Spool Hi Speed bearings, did you use any reel braking or was it all thumb. I love all of your videos, well, almost all.
Good stuff, I tried some of those skirted tube grub thingies last year, the berkley power bait version. WOW were they stiff. Hardest soft plastic I've ever felt.
Debo you keep buying new things and then I want to buy them to try and steal some of the Debo voodoo! I want to see you try and do a challenge again sometime. Absolutely love your 5 fish on the 5 beginner baits challenge video. Either way man, keep it up!
Nice box of goodies. By now I should know better but every time you have an unboxing it seems an online tackle order magically emanates from my iPad. Weird, I know😜. Wanna try some of those skirted grubs. They look like they’d work where I fish. Peace bro.........
bait wallets are amazing I don't use them on my rods instead, I prefer to use them to keep any baits with exposed hooks in my pocket and it lets me turn my bottle holders on my tackle warehouse backpack into more storage for my favorites that I use often.
Been having some tough time these past couple days too.just went out Monday from 9-5 and had one bite on a Ned rig, lost it at the bank. Guess i gotta go out again lol.
Out in my area, the zoom grape trick worm is my go to(but found out its discontinued), spent 2 hours yesterday on a drop shot(my fish finder) with a green pumpkin and then with a kinda watermelon red flake worm, not a single bit. Then I put on that grape and bam next cast got one, it's like the 5th time that's happened.i always kill it with the grape, I have never caught in black and blue and I have some pretty muddy reservoirs and ponds out here.
Best things about Debo:
1. Unbiased
2. Neutral (not “hyped” nor is it “boring”)
3. Relatable
4. Great explanations
5. The beard

when your soft plastics are bent, get one of those little plano waterproof 3400, put a single color of the bent baits in it and lay them as flat as you can. spray with reelsnot or some sort of line/lure lubricant (I found garlic reelsnot works the best) and leave it in the sun while you're fishing. the baits get warm and will relax and a lot of times they will take the natural shape
Nice! I like that approach!
The kink in the flukes doesn’t matter that thing still has great action and the fish love it still. And I also use a 1/4 oz weight and a 1/0 VMC flipping hook on those trd bugs and it’s fantastic for finicky fish. Tight lines brother...keep up the awesome vids man.
Good because I'm throwing these things as-is 🤣👊
I like my flukes to be kind of funky and bent. Makes the action more erratic. No need to boil and straighten them, they still kill when crooked.
That's good Because I'm not going to boil them...im throwing as is! 😂 #flukeproblems 🥴🤣
I'm excited to see you use those tequila sunrise/orange flake Rage Craws. I've been thinking about getting some myself.
Man...that color is MONEY! You'll Definitely see them soon!
i wanna see you do more top water videos of things you don’t usually thow! so no frogs lol i can’t wait to see if that hula works and if the red works , i too got some red kietechs and chatterbaits and never caught a thing on it
WHAT? Get that no froggin business out of here! 🤣 I'll definitely be tossing more Topwater since that bite is finally picking up!
I am pumped to see you have the trd bugz. I have been trying to find them local before i buy online. But i think im gonna have to go online. But im sure thay would make a great jig trailer an texas rig round wood. Caint wait to see them in action.
Yeah, I think they would work for all of those! I'll be tossing them around soon!
Mr. Debo, enjoy your videos. I have had some pretty good luck neko rigging the 4.5 quiver. Actually going out to try the 6.5 today. And a bait you should try is the new drop shot bait from missile that has the same tail as the quiver. I used some and Texas rigged them and have never seen so much movement. Can imagine how much more if nose hooked. Look them up. Stay safe and God Bless.
I think I have a pack of those! The bomb shot I believe is what it's called.
I also have an old package of the Chompers Grubs. In fact the garlic scent/juice leaked out of the bag and stunk up my entire soft plastic bag. I had to take that sleeve out. I might try those dock bangers. My hands might be smelling ripe after that outing.
Man..that sauce is nothing to mess with!
I still have a ton of the Yamamoto double tail grubs that are just like the skirted grubs from when i lived in Michigan. I used to rig those on the clear rubber headed thing you showed and absolutely crushed largemouth and smallies on the Grand River
Scrounger head with those! Nice! I'll have to try that!
Dude, put any of those flukes on a donkey rig! 🔥 Checks in the mail!🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha I haven't fished that. I honestly just need to toss the fluke more!
The hullagrub isn't forgotten brother. We just don't talk about it. Theres a reason they still sell them. Lol. My favorite is from gary yamamoto. Worth the money. You mentioned the skinny dippers. My favorite way to use them is weightless. Burn it on the surface. It's like a wake bait. That's what they were ordered designed for was swimming over grass. I'll remind you to do it later this season. There was something else I was gonna say but 20 minutes later I forgot. Lol. Sweet unboxing tho!
Yeah, I haven't dont that for a while. Did it a few years back with the gambler EZ and it was great over grass!
Grubs are so underrated. Seems like baits come in waves. Caught so many good fish with grubs as a kid.
One of the best all around fish catchers!
Solution for the Flukes that have a bent tail: Put them on a bladded jig.
I have found that while the straight Flukes work well on bladed jigs, the jacked up tailed ones work even better. The curved tail catches water better and gives it more kick. Try it!
Yes! They are good on a chatter. That bent tail wouldn't matter with all that movement and shaking!
I went out for a little bit a couple hours ago and lost one that was at least 4 pounds. I'm going to try a different spot this evening. Tight lines everyone.
Fluffyguy958 man tht sucks me too I was bed fishing and he spit my hook right as I landed him, he was a solid 3 pounder
At least u have consolation knowing what they hit on and r Still There!
Hate it when that happens man. I've lost a few good one the past week and a half...😔
I know how it is Debo, haven't had much luck either lately so I took some of my time and thoroughly cleaned one of my baitcasters thanks to your videos (definitely helped). I would like to see some fluke videos I've never got into them or know how and maybe some chatterbait making videos.
Thanks man! I tossed the fluke a bit this weekend. Hope to throw it some more soon!
Debo can you make a video on how you deal with ticks for this up coming summer, i went to scope out a new pond location today and had one on me and almost had a heart attack. I just recently moved from Florida to Ohio, so I'm use to having the luxury of having a fishing location near the side of my house (canals and lakes) no actual real woodland areas. Do you have any advice?
Ughh....I HATE ticks too! Long sleeves, pants, rubber boots, hat...spray off on your clothes!
The flashy swimmer caught last years pb. They also drew a bite for me in highly pressured water when it was hot as crap last year. That been said you’ll probably have bad luck with them 😆. Also I used the silver willow blade not the bronze Colorado blade.
Nah, I've had a ton of luck on the flashy swimmer. I was just re-upping my supply!
Great stuff, got to get some under spins to try for sure.I already love swim baits. I also want to try those swamers! Thanks for the video Debo. Can I use a devil horse on my 13 fishing black fate rod? Its a 7 1 med heavy
Yeah, underspins are money around here. Sure, as long as the hooks are stout. I'd use mono for the stretch.
I picked up some TRD in the bubble gut color. I've been getting more into the red too. Also got some TRD ticklerz. Going to try them out tomorrow. Got one pack in The Deal and man do they look good!! I even bought a new dedicated ned rig combo haha!! You created a monster! Also got some of the TRD craws I'm excited to try.
Hahaha I told you man! It's funny how a bait can grow on ya!
@@DEBOSFishing its so true!!
I just gotta say, it’s extremely hard watching your videos... you know because of the Hawkeye hat lol. Love the unboxing videos my man
Hahahah oh man...hating on the hawks! It could be worse I suppose 😂👊
The scrounger head I never have any luck have you caught a fish on the heavier scrounger throwing it in deep water? I've had no luck! I'm slow rolling it too
I can't keep that soft plastic lip from moving around and falling off.
I haven't fished them deep. I don't do a lot of deep fishing. I know the guys who do fish it SLOW and close to the bottom.
The x zone swammer is a phenomenal swim bait. Awesome on chatterbaits and weightless rigged
Devon an idea for a future video you could do on repairing those old hula grubs is repairing them with some Mend it. The old ones you showed were originally put together with a type of super glue that was why they had hard spots in them. Just a thought. Feesh on.
Interesting! Yeah, I've actually had a few ideas with mend it...like...creating my own lure...🤔
You should try the damiki armor shad. Just like the fluke but better quality and don’t have issues with bent tails. I have much better luck with them over the zoom.
Nice! I'll have to check those out!
Great video bro and you will love those NED ZONES
Nice! I'm excited to throw them!
Good luck putting a nail weight in elaztech...lmao that seems like it would be impossible. Kind of like trying to put a CPS spring in elaztech. Brian Latimer acts like you can put a CPS spring in thing(sponsored, of course he does) but even he had to cut to the part where he was finished because he was struggling so much(his recent swimbait video). As far as ned baits go, elaztech really is fantastic. Catching a few dozen fish on 1 bait is pretty awesome if you're on a bunch of fish. With Z-mans swimbaits I wish the tails would kick at lower speeds. I'd totally be using them all the time if I could use a slow retrieve and still get a kick like I can with regular plastics.
Yeah, we'll see how that does. I got somw neko weights for those. Someone said heat up the end with a lighter and it makes it easier...I'm going to try it@
I hesitate to use a fluke, because I fish stained/dirty water all the time. I figure I’m better off with a regular jerkbait, since it will dart more and has rattles. Am I wrong about that?
Hey Debo it would be cool to do a unboxing on nothing but clear water lures or maybe just a video of some clear water lures you have because I fishing clear water it’s it’s hard to get bites sometime!! Also been fishing at lake amistad here in Texas and for the most part where we been fishing it’s clear rocky bottoms!
I sometimes struggle with really clear places too! I'll try to do a vid on what has worked for me!
Debo have you seen the Berkley champ craws? I just found out about them. Picked up 10 packs. Think they are going to replace all of my craws and trailers. Can’t wait to go out and try them tomorrow. Love the unboxings!! You must have soooo much stuff at your house. Lol can we see a video of your supply’s and how you organize your tackle🎣 🎣
No, I haven't heard of those. I'll have to check them out. I did an organizing vid not too long ago!
Debo let me tell you, my basic MTB was great this month! i liked all four items and got a lure that i never would have bought.
Nice! Always fun trying new stuff!
A little of the topic, but when you did the distance test on the Spool Hi Speed bearings, did you use any reel braking or was it all thumb. I love all of your videos, well, almost all.
No, I used reel brakes just like I normally would. Tried to get it with max distance.
@@DEBOSFishing Thanks, I am amazed you can get that distance.
Good stuff, I tried some of those skirted tube grub thingies last year, the berkley power bait version. WOW were they stiff. Hardest soft plastic I've ever felt.
Really! These are just like any other doft plastic. I need to throw them soon!
Xzone makes legit and the most underrated soft plastics!
I'm excited to try the swammers more!
I've used the super bug color for the Missile Baits Ned Bomb (shorter version of the quiver) and caught several. Cool color(s).
Nice! I got some of those this winter to try for the drop shot!
Hey Debo what size is that Xzone swimbait, and what size weighted hook size is tha hook your using?? Keep rolling those vids DEBO!! 👏🏼😁
Got the black cherry too but Big Bite makes swimon. Bright orange, made for chatterbaits.
For the flukes boil some water. Then dip the tail in and after a few seconds pull out.. They come out straight as an arrow.
Yeah, I know about the boiling...just dont want to have to do that 🤣
Debo you keep buying new things and then I want to buy them to try and steal some of the Debo voodoo! I want to see you try and do a challenge again sometime. Absolutely love your 5 fish on the 5 beginner baits challenge video. Either way man, keep it up!
I can definitely do something like that again soon! Thanks for watching 👊
Great Video Debo!! Btw the Chatterbait is getting munched in my neck of the woods!
Nice! The chatter is fun as heck to throw!
Nice box of goodies. By now I should know better but every time you have an unboxing it seems an online tackle order magically emanates from my iPad. Weird, I know😜. Wanna try some of those skirted grubs. They look like they’d work where I fish. Peace bro.........
I know...my cart magically has things appear quite frequently! 💁♂️
I love the Dirty Jigs.
I've become quite attached too!
bait wallets are amazing I don't use them on my rods instead, I prefer to use them to keep any baits with exposed hooks in my pocket and it lets me turn my bottle holders on my tackle warehouse backpack into more storage for my favorites that I use often.
Yeah! I do that with extras I have in my tackle bag. Also allows them to dry out so you don't put it back in the box wirh wet hooks!
Hey Debo. A little off topic but I wanted your opinion on rigging a spinnerbait. Do you prefer a soft plastic trailer, or a trailer hook?
It depends on the size and skirt. Smaller spinners I like a small trailer. The bigger spinners that have the bigger skirt, i go trailer.
DEBO'S Fishing bigger skirt, use a trailer hook?
@@robertbain2435 yeah bigger/longer blades or and longer skirt, I go trailer hook.
I've had good luck with the Missile Baits Quiver on a Texas Rig
4 or 6 on a texas rig with a light flip style hook and a 3/16 tungsten is deadly. I usually keep a d bomb on one and that on the other flip rod.
Nice! I like that idea too!
Been having some tough time these past couple days too.just went out Monday from 9-5 and had one bite on a Ned rig, lost it at the bank. Guess i gotta go out again lol.
Yeah, I got skunked twice before a few great days of fishing. Embrace the grind and keep going!
One of two OG tackle unboxers! You and tj81 need to do one together! Also, do a rod and reel arsenal man...
I'd love to do an unboxing with Jim. He's the ultimate tackle unboxings dude. Ahhh....the rod and reel arsenal...🤦♂️😂
Out in my area, the zoom grape trick worm is my go to(but found out its discontinued), spent 2 hours yesterday on a drop shot(my fish finder) with a green pumpkin and then with a kinda watermelon red flake worm, not a single bit. Then I put on that grape and bam next cast got one, it's like the 5th time that's happened.i always kill it with the grape, I have never caught in black and blue and I have some pretty muddy reservoirs and ponds out here.
I love that black and grape purple color worm!
