Great video. Quick question/suggestion: In most videos like this, they always show the lure when it's rigged correctly moving through the water. Could you show how a lure looks when it's NOT rigged correctly and how it moves through the water? I feel it would be a good comparison to see. Thanks again!
Good vid, very informative, only thing I'd say for beginners is that with the paddletails and jerkbait plastics, you can definitely fish them too fast, but no such thing as fishing them too slow. Drag them past the boat 10 times to check your rigging and action.
Thanks a lot man ! Just really getting into fishing and your vids help a lot. I notice a lot of channels just give their personal opinions on topics, where as you actually break everything down and explain how this & that works. Very helpful bud thanks a lot I’m subbed ✔️
The knot I struggle with most! I been watching videos learning new knots because all I know is fisherman knot.... and you can see tying it that your gonna get the wrong action and I could never figure out how to look up what knot goes with what type of lure/bait THANK YOU!!!
this is one of those learning videos that should be in the top 5 so you dont start a bad day because you didnt know these steps...good job guy...turned my catching percent a whole lot better ...👍🙏
A easy remedy for the Knot mistake is to just tie on a power clip or duo lock that matches the lure size. This way the lure moves natural vs dragging to one side. A issue maybe to consider is also scent. While several plastic brands have built in scent, the addition of more scent particularly gel based products for plastics often makes a huge difference. Most anglers apply these scents at the time of angling however if you soak your plastics ahead of time all you need to do is snap on the lure with a clip or lock and your good to go. If you do get the g el on your hands simple basic cheap toothpaste neutralizes the smell and keeps the wife from complaining that the steering wheel smells like fish.
solid explanations! when i started to focus my target fish, not knowing how to swim stick baits properly prevented me from landing my targets for a year and a half!
Chartreuse is the "go to" color if all else fails. White has always been productive. Resembles the color of flesh or squid. Interesting about the red and black. That taught me something. Thanks!
I'm late to the party but this video is legit. Getting skunked all morning until watching this. Have caught two croakers in the last 5 minutes while watching
Always full of useful info. Even though I know it, it's always good to touch up on basics to reinforce it. Once I hit water all experience goes out the window and I just throw whatever and tie whatever knot .
Casting far is a key to catching fish (being unseen, covering lots of water etc.) Using less tackle, lighter hsrdware and lighter line etc. is also key. I just switched from live bait to artificial and can’t cast nearly as far - how do you cast further with small soft plastics and light jigs?
I did learn from you crustacean lures are better in winter months. I never knew this at all. I do know how to fish freshwater catfish, bass, crappie, are my main targets when I was in the ozarks.
I have been watching and learning from your Videos. I have a question that hopefully someone could answer for me. I've asked several times already but no replies. The question isn't about the lure but the line instead. A few months ago I decided to try using braided line. If I'm using 15 lb. test braided what would that equal in mono as far as strength ????????
Just found the channel, great lure breakdown! I enjoy chasing some redfish from time to time. Do you have any informative videos on fishing bucktails? I generally stroke them as you would a big feather prayer jig.
Simple: match the hatch in both size and color. Just copy what you see. Glass minnows around? Small bright lure. Mullet getting busted? Bigger darker lure. Don’t over think it. For lure color I just mimic the water color itself or bottom. Catch a snook up a dirty river and it will be golden and dark but that same fish on the beach will be almost pure white. Fish try to blend into their environment to hide so you should follow that lead if you want a natural presentation. You can never go wrong with silver as most bait fish are that color. If fishing on the bottom (for reds) you can go dark (brown, green, even black) for a crab like appearance. And yes red disappears first underwater, remember your spectrum ROYGBIV with violet being visible the longest and yellow green in the middle.
First cast caught a nice crappie. Five more to follow. Then caught some nice largemouth bass. Definitely worth it, had a great day fishing with these lures.
Morning Salt. What is name of blueish twitch bait lure you are holding and show some underwater foliage how it should move. It looks to me the perfect bait for our river delta in summer. Hi from Holland
Excellent tutorial, I really appreciate the tips. Do you recommended to utilize fast snap clips on with the lures, or will this dramatically affects the artificial bait presentation? Please advice
Great video but seriously, who uses knots to attach their lures? What about snap links? Quick change, your leader doesn't get shorter everytime you change a lure and it is a way much stronger connection than a loop knot. Just saying.....
@@capt.justinwhaley-jwfishin6896 I like to use the Duo lock snaps - you can find loads of manufacturers that make similar ones. For ultralight fishing - lures as light as 2g - I use the 000 size - they don't affect the lures action at all and make it super simple and quick to change lures.
You can see the lures just fine But, on this side of the video they are very difficult to see. An additional camera zooming on the lures, for us that are trying to learn what you are teaching would be greatly appreciated and for many of us, needed. Please consider this for us not familiar with saltwater fishing. Thanks.
Vouch on the 3 inch paddle tail I was at the pier on a slow cold night the other night as I’m typing this and there was this kid there and I was like watch this kid I’m gonna catch one, I throw it out 30 seconds later I got one . Edit it was pearl white and chartreuse down south lure
Never had the patience with any of them to throw them more than 20 times in any location. Sometimes they work, most times they don’t , at least for me.
Several of your videos will not allow me to play them. A message comes up stating that this video is unavailable. Can you fix this for me? Lloyd Doerflinger
I'd have to see a video that shows a knot is doing something to cause the action of the bait to be off. I'd wanna see scientific experimentation via the scientific method to show cause and effect for Why the knot is doing such. If I can't see those things, I'll never believe it.
Negative video. When someone is told they're making a mistake in fishing or any other sport such as this it is a discouragement. Tired of seeing RUclips videos that say "you're making this mistake ". Fishing is supposed to be fun.
Sorry to hear the video/title came across as negative. We'll keep that in mind for future videos. Hopefully, you were still able to get some good information from it. Our goal is to help anglers identify the issues they're experiencing and find solutions.
@@Saltstrong I understand the goal and I'm sure you're channel offers great info but maybe the informative videos can be "how to's" . This would be more inviting. Thanks for your response!
I joined SaltStrong for an entire year @$100 (my mistake) & then quit. Wyatt (on RUclips) is brilliant & worthy! He has helped me more than the entire year subscription when he wasn't onboard with SS. It all depend on one's level of fishing knowledge and time commitment to the subsciption courses (which cost more $$$$). My 1st year subsciption was a waste, and now Wyatt is helping me retrieve my loss. So why join SaltStrong? Better prices on bait, rigs, promo grab "blue-light specials" if your not paying attention because you have other responsibilities? With the brilliant hacks involved (seen here), I'll stick with the free value of SaltStrong RUclipss, unless motivated in Merritt Island, FL otherwise. We're ALL at different levels of experience, so why should I pay $100 subscription for basics SaltStrong provides on RUclips. If I were on the weekly SS committee team, I would suggest potential subscribers go through SaltStrong RUclips video FIRST and then consider joining for advanced courses, discounted gear, and honing in on advanced skills. I wish I had known this first and the joined the insider SaltStrong membership. For me, it was a waste of money taking SaltStrong 1st year membership Fishing Skills 301 before taking Fishing Skills 101or 201. Bottom Line: Learn everything you can from RUclips Fishing Skills before putting money for advanced SaltStrong skill-level protocols.

Can you tie loop knot with fluorocarbon and will it hold

A BIG thanks to you Salt! Great info.
best explanation I've watched that could be understood easily. thank you
Thanks!
great tips for a beginner angler like to follow THANKS
One mistake I have made is using a too heavy leader. It's best to go light and move up if necessary.
Correct!
Excellent video. Very well done. The video shows what it took me 30 years to figure out. I'm a Punta Gorda Florida native.
VERY GOOD info!!!
Thx for sharing!
This was massively helpful, thank you.
Y’all restocked on the slam shady 2.0 and I had to order 5 packs a few weeks ago.
Great Info, thanks...I had to slow down the speeed to .75% :/

If I could retain only one thing, I'd be a better fisherman.
Thank stars for RUclips vids to revisit and screenshots. I'm braindead it seems sometimes. 🤪😎
First cast caught a nice crappie. Five more to follow. Then caught some nice largemouth bass. Definitely worth it, had a great day fishing with these lures.
Good stuff!
When you mention the lure size depending on seasons, would it still be same in the southern hemisphere? Thank you for the advice
Yep!

Would connecting with an anglers clip help the movement?
Excellent tutorial, I really appreciate the tips. Do you recommended to utilize fast snap clips on with the lures, or will this dramatically affects the artificial bait presentation? Please advice
Fast snaps are easy and quick, how many minnows have you seen with snaps on their face? Make that bait look as natural as possible.
I appreciate your not sugarcoating answers. Thanks again sincerely.
great color visibility explanation
well said on lure depth
Great information!
Thanks bro!
Dang man im just getting into bass fishing seems alot more complicated than throwing a spinner for some trout
If you think bass are complicated wait til you try saltwater
Great video. Although tar 71 I’m out of time and this is too much to learn. Do a video of abridged version 5 minutes
Great video, lots of useful info.
i thought minnows would work better in colder months because scarcity and the fish would be hungrier for them hmm
thanks, i love this channel
Great video, thanks
Caught a 6lber on a senko terribly rigged on a weighted belly hook yestersay lol. Was bent lookin
haha Nice!
Duuuuuude! Great video man! Learned a boat load.
Nice overview and info
Nice masterclass ✌🏻
Thanks for checking it out!
Great info
Great tips!
I've been using them for a while now. but just want y'all a opinion on tactical clips. essentially a small loop knot?
Hardware is more visible to fish and may cause you to not get some bites
If you're using a very large lure, they're ok
Great video
Great salesman
This is awesome!
Tried to join your insider club, but the site isnt working.
Great videp
I've seen that first hand. Same lure, one person catching fish and another getting skunked
Thank you very much for such Brilliant Information
Great video but seriously, who uses knots to attach their lures? What about snap links? Quick change, your leader doesn't get shorter everytime you change a lure and it is a way much stronger connection than a loop knot.
Just saying.....
About the worst thing you can possibly do as a fisherman is use a snap swivel when using artificial
@@capt.justinwhaley-jwfishin6896 Hi,
I wasn't referring to a snap swivel - just a plain small snap, without a swivel.
Sorry if you misunderstood me.
@@nigelridley4864 I guess if it’s small and not noticeable it would come in handy
