    MY PROFILE:
    I started fishing when I was just a young kid and instantly fell in love with Bass Fishing. Started fishing tournaments when I was in high school and have been fishing them ever since. For years I fished every tournament I could enter sometimes fishing as many as 45 tournaments a year. I qualified for the Elites when I was 30 but didn't have the sponsors or money to compete so I turned it down. Got sponsor support later and fished the FLW Tour for 2 years and having been fishing the Toyotas since 2006. I’ve won 5 Angler of the Year Titles becoming the only fishermen to have more than 3 AOYs in the Toyota series. Won numerous events along the way that has helped shape my way into working for Strike King as head of product innovation. Along the way, I picked up a camera and started filming my endeavors. I have now fallen in love with making videos about fishing and delivering it to you. Follow along the journey...it should be an honest and fun ride!

    Man this video tugs at my feelings. This WAS the very best piece of plastic ever. I've caught a very large portion of my bass on this bait for the last 4 years. I'm so disgusted with Strike King about this bait that I go through spells where I boycott them. I don't know what happened to the quality control at SK but starting last spring this bait changed. Every pack now has a few baits where the body and appendages are all bent up. And the mold doesn't have as much plastic in the head anymore which makes it tear even easier. I'm so mad a SK over this because I can go through a couple hundred packs of bugs in a year and now I've started throwing a different bug bait a lot more

    Love your videos, keep up the good work. With the haymaker hook do you use it exclusively with this hook? Do you ever have a case where you use a straight shank flipping hook and snell knot. Asking so I can learn. I through a pit boss a lot with a flipping hook and have decent luck often, but loose a few. Could it be the hook?

  • @DanielBoone337
    @DanielBoone337 6 месяцев назад

    I constantly keep switching back and forth from the standard size rage bug and bandito bug trying to figure out which one i like more but in all honesty i catchem on both. Both are the right profile and action but regardless of which i use the blue craw or blue baby color is freakin awesome and without a doubt my favorite color. Great video as always cant wait for the toledo bend video to come out. I love watching videos on my home lake!!!

  • @dustinwalker8152
    @dustinwalker8152 6 месяцев назад +1

    If you can’t get a haymaker, go with the Ryugi LT offset work hook. Ryugi was actually the first to do the extra strong wide gap hook with the hook point above the line tie. Not knocking the haymaker but I honestly prefer the Ryugi over it, the longer throat extends the life of the plastic, allows for more rigging options when trying to get a specific action out the rigging, and is just as strong and sharp. Also has the coating for better penetration. The Zappu Bellows hook is also a good option.

    Man i LOVE that bait.. I use the regular size and the 3" and only use green pumpkin blue craw, (moon juice-(ON A BUZZBAIT..) BLUE SIDE DOWN IN SLIGHTLY DIRTIER WATER THAN CLEAN, AND THE GREEN PUMPKIN SIDE DOWN IN CLEANER WATER!!! And black blue flake!!! Only 3 colors I use, mainly 2.. but I swear if I'm fishing for more pressured fish, (bed fishing) skipping docks and on a Carolina rig.. that 3" seems to get me a bite here and there when the bigger size won't.. but I use the rage craw probably 95% of the time when im using a craw style bait, great freckin jig trailer.. i can go on n on n on about this bait!!!

    I got my ass kicked yesterday morning/ afternoon. We did have a heavy storm come through & brought a cold front with strong winds, which dropped air temps 15+° . I saw a lot fish on LS but I couldn't get anything to bite. Looked like they were all holding close to bottom & I tried bunch different baits. I didn't throw a dropshot or jighead minnow. What do you do when cold front comes through in springtime? I'm in southern SC so I assume cold fronts affect these fish more than what I was used to fishing in OH.

    So, the one you use most of the time is a 4". Can I throw a 4/0 hook on that one effectively? I'm a jig fisherman and I didn't know that the Spring is the least effective time to use a jig. I'll give the Rage Bug a try as the spawn is about to start here in the Northeast! Thanks
