Dang, excellent video. I got some of these over the summer that hadn’t used them too much yet. Your last method looks pretty cool. It should definitely trigger some fish into biting. Looks like it’s in distress. Well done, my friend.
@@TWC6724 much appreciated! I think some people were a little upset that 6th Sense put out these great-looking baits and said “Here ya go - figure out.” Personally, it’s been fun experimenting, and I think there are more methods and tricks left to figure out 🤙
That flipping action is insane! Thank you for these interesting uses for these awesome lures! I have about 7 packages of different styles of these lures and have been dialing them in for Flounder and Red Drum.
My pleasure! I'm jealous that you have the chance to try them out in saltwater. Someone else commented that they were planning on trying out the 9" Panorama for tarpon and cobia 😧
I might try these at Dale Hollow, now in December, Bass are chasing Alewife down deep. I’ve got a bunch but never had them rigged up right. I’m using Silver Buddy and Flutter spoon successfully so will see if these can compete.
@@jboz1435 I think you’ll definitely find success. I like to think of these baits as a finesse alternative to some of those cold water power techniques (blades, spoons, jerks). Those same techniques might be considered finesse techniques when the water is warm, but when it’s cold, those are on the faster side. The Panorama can be fished much slower, which is huge when the water gets super cold. Hit ‘em down deep with the drop shot and free rig and I bet you’ll get ‘em 🤘
You're right about that! Very similar to the free rig, except the distance from weight to hook is fixed with the Carolina rig. Both definitely good options for deep water when they're holding to bottom
It looks pretty good in the underwater footage 6th Sense posted. You'll need to use a fairly heavy weight - (1/2 oz. +) and run the hook up at an angle toward the dorsal fin (look at the RUclips Short they posted for reference). You also have to fish with a fast retrieve to keep the bait straight and upright. The footage they posted is slowed down to about 50%. If I could have found a way to make this work with a lighter chatterbait and fished it with a slower retrieve, I think I would have liked it a lot more than I did.
@@shaunmoeller3288 I fished them on a chatter bait - my only issue is that you have to use a fairly heavy weight and a fast retrieve to keep the bait upright and swimming- it was very 1-dimensional. I haven’t used them on a swim jig, but I watched Josh Jones catch 3 bass totaling 33 lbs. in 30 minutes with that combination. If you have FFS and can find brush piles, I’d say go for it 🤙
To be honest, not impressive at all on the method of rigging. It doesn't look natural at all even when you try to make it look like a dying shad. I have yet to encounter any rig that mimics a natural looking bait fish with the panorama. The only thing which I give it an A is the killer paint job on this bait. I am beginning to think this bait is a solution that no one asked for. And I think 6th sense just created this bait cause it's a cool idea but did not follow through on how to make it work or rig it. I see the potential but sadly, till now, I don't see any viable rigging that impress. As times go on, we will see if this bait stands the test of time or will it fade away in history as the bait that wants to be but never gets to be kinda of thing. But I think your last hack on how to repair soft plastic baits was awesome!
I appreciate your honesty! I think the main problem we all have is the one that you touched on - this entirely new type/shape of soft plastic bait was released, and we were all left to try and adapt hooks and rigging methods which were meant for other baits to work with the Panorama. Personally, I was excited about the experimentation part of it, but I think after a year, it might be time for 6th Sense to come out with a hook specifically designed for the baits. My process was what you saw here - I broke down what the bait is already good at because of it's design. I looked for ways to accentuate those things it was naturally good at. I went as far as to hunt down videos of actual dying shad (surprisingly hard to find), and changed my tecniques to match the action. Here are the main things that I learned: 1. Fish SLOW. When you're fishing slow enough, fish slower. Then slow it down. Real dying shad don't cover much distance. 2. Fish in areas and during times where shad/baitfish are the primary forage. 3. The closest thing we have to a rig designed for the Panorama is the Ozark Rig, but you MUST reinforce the head with clear/hard plastisol first, or you'll destroy the bait putting it on. --- I'm lucky enough to have a pond next to my house with a lot of big bass and a healthy gizzard shad population where I could experiment - I was able to fool the very pressured, very picky gizzard-eating 4-5 pounders in there that normally will only eat topwater lures and expensive glidebaits. I didn't start catching them until I started fishing verrrrrrrry slow.
@nextlevelangling Great input bro, glad you are crazy enough to try it all and report back with your feedbacks. Thanks for sharing! It's such a good looking bait and it will be a pitty to see the most natural way to rig it is on its side. Like I said, 6th sense did not thought of how to rig it and just release it out to the public. This is not a solution to catching more fish but just created a problem that no one asked for. If I need to reinforce the nose of the bait on an already not so good bait in the beginning, just so I can use it with the Ozark rig, I would skip it entirely. Too much work in my opinion and not worth doing. I will repair it if it's broken, not fix a problematic bait right out of the box. It doesn't seem to make sense. "6th Sense" However, you are doing God's work on the rigging technique. Hope to see you explore into new and existing bait in future videos. I think you have a good thing going on for the channel if you stay on this direction. Tight line and wet net buddy!
@@seanleau Experimenting with baits/tackle/gear, combining tactics from different disciplines, and learning/creating new ways to catch fish are my favorite things to do - there will definitely be more! Thanks for watching 🙏
@ Just happened to stumble back on this conversation, and I'm happy to report that 6th Sense released a pre-rigged swimbait version of the Panorama :) I believe it's currently only available at Dick's Sporting Goods, but should be available on the website soon.
I relised when there on there bed they will hit anything and I have proved it I threw a a real spoon that u eat with and got hit didn't have a hook so didn't land him but it got hit
@@danieltrout9003 For me, they’re very situational. There are far better options when the water is warm, but when the water is frigid and the fish are keyed in on shad in late fall - winter, they were effective for multiple species. It’s a very slow dying baitfish imitation - if you fish it when the bait is slow and dying, they’re effective 💯
@ I used them from April to October off and on. I was looking the next big thing. Watched a lot of videos and read allot of reviews. They don’t meet my expectations. There was literally zero action on any of them.
@@danieltrout9003 believe it or not, that’s how I used to feel about a bass jig. A presentation that allegedly catches bass everywhere for everyone. Tried it for months with very little success. I watched several videos and finally realized that I was fishing it way too fast - it was moving wayyy more in the water than I thought it was. I refined my technique, and now I’m confident in the jig. You might have been closer to figuring it out than you think!
I've been thinking about drop shotting my 9" 'rama for a musky pretty much since the moment I ordered it lol. I'm thinking about reinforcing the head with plastisol, using a 6/0 - 7/0 drop shot hook and a little 2/0 steel wire treble stinger underneath --- 4 oz. drop shot weight. One day!
@@CaptDavesSportfishing haha 😂. Aside from the corny “As seen on TV” advertising, the Banjo Minnow is pretty legit! I totally agree with you though - baits don’t NEED to be ultra-realistic, but I’ve seen them make a difference in clear pressured water. I also love me an old school spoon or inline spinner though, and those aren’t even mildly realistic
Tell us how you really feel! 🙂 I would say they're a situational bait for sure. For me, they're effective in clear, cold water, especially when the fish are keyed in on shad. The shad and crappie colors definitely worked best for me, and northern pike CRUSH them. I'm actually planning to specifically target northerns this year with them, since they won't leave me alone anyway. On a side note, I don't know if I'd put these in my kid's bath, based on how they smell 😅
I've seen some underwater footage or Panorama on bladed jigs (looked pretty cool in slow motion), but I found out pretty quickly that you need a heavy weight and a fairly quick retrieve to get them to stay upright and swim, and I just think the baits are much more suited for a dying shad presentation than a live one. Sideways is definitely the way to go in my opinion, and it's also the natural orientation of a real dying/injured shad.
I thought that this was very informative, way better than many higher sub channels. Question- hook size recommendations for the first rigging method, for 3.5” and 5” sizes?
@ It depends on how you're rigging it, but for the weightless presentation, a 4/0 hook is good for the 5" size, and if you're using the 3.5" - it's good on a 1/0 Hover Rig or a size 1 or 1/0 drop shot hook. If I drop-shot with the 5", I'll typically use a 1/0 or 2/0 drop-shot hook

Hey buddy what was the liquid plastic to fix the baits that was also a great tip

You're right about that! Very similar to the free rig, except the distance from weight to hook is fixed with the Carolina rig. Both definitely good options for deep water when they're holding to bottom
That 9 inch bait would work great for tarpon and cobia down here on the coast in Florida.

So nobody fishes them right side up. This is nothing new.
I've seen some underwater footage or Panorama on bladed jigs (looked pretty cool in slow motion), but I found out pretty quickly that you need a heavy weight and a fairly quick retrieve to get them to stay upright and swim, and I just think the baits are much more suited for a dying shad presentation than a live one. Sideways is definitely the way to go in my opinion, and it's also the natural orientation of a real dying/injured shad.
I put mine right side up on the mini max bladed jig using 2.8” size
