Once you start ordering with the hookup tackle you can’t stop 😅 they carry great lures also those guys are just the best. Great unboxing man, keep them coming.
Yea, show the knife collection, I have way to many, more into medium stockman. Dude those look good, I don’t have any of those blade baits either. You sold me on em. Thanks for the video. Happy new year. Good stuff right there.
👊Sweet unboxing! Hook UP Tackle definitely can hook you on their vast selection of quality baits! Need to try some of those blade baits myself. Keep up the great content!
Love those OKASHIRA SCREWHEAD with a 3 in spark shad. Caught some largemouth but noticed It catches more smallmouth. Seems the smallmouth smash them more. 👊🏼
That is a great selection of baits and megabass is unreal with their attention to detail. That lemon color would be a great bait to throw on an overcast day and yea like you said it would be a great choice for muddy waters too. Thanks for sharing!!
Blade baits are super underrated. Treat it like a heavy Lipless and you be fine. Btw if it has multiple holes for snaps the rule goes as follows: front hole=subtle wobble,middle hole=moderate wobble,back hole=aggressive wobble. Basically further back the hole have more action. But I think the front and middle get the most use for me. 99% of the time it’s the middle hole. Which is generally what the single hole is on most blade baits. Another killer bait you should try are tailspins! Or even tail spin blade baits like the 10000 fish death stalker.
The okashira screw heads are pretty cool. If you look at the blades of the okashira one is bigger then the other. This causes the bait to vibrate when retrieved. As far as blade baits the damiki vault is my go to but im jugging them in deeper clear water.
Love The Hook Up.... Great lures ya picked up!! Raid Japan is def a fav of mine. Raid has their own channel. Of course they speak Japanese but the bank fishing content is pretty awesome.
Seems you are serious about change :) The blade bait was THE surprise for me in fall. When nothing worked, this bait got them (European perch, I fish in Germany). As you are a crank bait guy…..you have to try the OSP range (Tiny Blitz, Blitz, Blitz XD etc.) of cranks. From all I have fished so far the OSP are the best. All the best for 2024 and greetings from Germany.
Good video Jim 🤛. Years ago I fish the heddon blade baits I used a steady retrieve and a rip and pause retrieve back in the 70s, caught quite a few on it. You'll have fun😊
We should hookup one day. I'm near Elgin! There's too much hard water right now, but I'll be attending the Chicago Outdoor Expo later this month. Maybe we can connect and talk about where you'd like to meet. Let me know.
Thanks for the updates! Love the knife! A video with all of your knives would be cool. Really like those blade baits. Damiki vaults are my favorites. But they don't come in all those great colors. Love those lipless baits. You've got some fantastic colors. Those Uoze swim jigs look nice. I bought some of those Okishira Screw heads with the blades, but haven't used them yet. Outstanding video and haul! Appreciate you and what you do!
Nice pocket metal! I won a Hogue EX-A05 in FDE and black yesterday. I would definitely be interested in seeing your collection. Fishing and blade content is what I mainly watch. 👊🏻
Hey TJ, haven’t throw too many blade baits, but love the unboxings & eyeballing new lures. Switching things up? Looking forward to another year of content 👊
Awesome video, hope to get out for too long on Sandcrest Lake right outside of Taylorvile IL And try some blade baits like you it has struck up an interest
Definitely would like to see a knife video! I’m just getting into knives myself. Got a couple Benchmades and a couple Spyderco knives. I’m trying not to get too crazy with it because I already spend too much money on tackle, don’t need another addiction!
First, fist bump to you too. I love the hookup tackle also. I can't get a lot from there because it's all pricey but I did get a couple gift cards for myself from there recent sale so I could get 20% off megabass stuff that never goes on sale. I did get two of the blade baits as well as a couple magdraft swimbaits for fun. I do see I should have picked up a couple of the second brand vibrating lures you bought. Looks like it's time to dog into a gift card. Thanks as always.
You know the Raid Level is my favorite lipless. Enjoy. You should have picked up the Spark Shads for the Okashira heads. Enjoy your JDM baits. Nice shirt and of course I stay to the end brother 👊🏽
The Okashira Screw Head does awesome on a 3" Spark Shad. Thank you for diving into JDM. Those Uoze Swimmers are nice swim jigs. Keitechs do great on them as do Largo Shad. I prefer Largos. Good luck! I want to challenge you to buy a Shimano Antares and a J. Loomis NRX+ 854C JWR. Trade up and fish the nicest most sought after rod and reel. $1100 fishing that muddy water. You'll love this set up.
Blade baits cast a mile.I like the feathers to stop hooking the line. Did not know that. I am going to pick some up. I have catch just about everything on a blade. Including big bass.
Hook up got me also to the point where I quit watching the Sunday morning drops, every time I watch one it costs me money had to force myself to not watch
Damiki Vault is great but change the hooks. The OSP Override is my favorite love the hooks on them only a double hook instead of treble but they cove through stuff way better and don't get caught up near as much.
👊🏻👊🏻 I feel you on that $50 gift card spent $200 thing that’s sounds about like me when I order anything. Also would love to see you and Big Mike’s knife collection in a video. I think that would be cool change up video just keeping things interesting. Also on knives. Look up the Kershaw dividend. I got one several years ago and really like it as an every day Carry.
Once you start ordering with the hookup tackle you can’t stop 😅 they carry great lures also those guys are just the best.
Great unboxing man, keep them coming.
Right on brother! 👊
Love the hookup tackle

Great unboxing the hook up tackle gets me every week. Last year they got me for $6000 🙄 I love JDM tackle
It adds up fast! 👊💪
I try not to think about how much I spent there
Megabass bladed swim jig is a super dope underrated bait. 3.8 keitech or 6th sense divine for a tighter wobble 🔥💪🔨
Right on! 👊💪

Thanks for watching! 👊
Great baits and blade🤤🤤

You got it! 👊
Now you need some raid level minnows. I love watching the new video every Sunday morning. And I’ve probably spent more than I should’ve there lol
