What I really enjoy about your unboxings, is that it gives me considerations for lures that I will actually try, and the detail you go into with each lure really answers a lot of questions, and helps me notice things about lures that I had not considered. I really appreciate the shout out!
Thank you for saying you trim the legs to the length of the body! Everyone always says to trim the legs but are vague as to how long. I love it, I'm using it, thank you!
I enjoy seeing new lures! I like the make your own chatterbait stuff! I can’t wait for spring to do some fishing! Looking forward to swim jig/jig fishing and some lipless cranking!
The River2sea frogs have been using the shrink tubing for awhile as well as they are a dual chamber hollow body which keeps virtually all the water out of the body
I started fishing April of last year....unfortunately I'm completely addicted now 🤦. Your channel has taught me sooooo much and I just wanted to say thank you Debo. By far my favorite channel my man. Keep em coming.
I can't stop buying Nates Custom Baits. Coolest lures. Once you start shopping you want all the lures offered and all the bucktail dyes are so vibrant. You end up getting a bulk box or going crazy when they are on sale. All this after you just went to pick up 1 or two chatterbaits or spinnerbaits.
I'm wanting to get into swimbaits, frogs, and soft plastics this year. Just started bass fishing last fall so it's all new to me. I've learned a ton from you so keep the videos coming Debo! Thanks!
@Stoney Lonsome, I started with crankbaits, whopper ploppers, spinnerbaits, and underspins last year. I've since purchased a large arsenal of rods, reels, soft plastics, jigs, chatterbaits, and practically everything else under the sun for bass fishing. I probably have enough gear to last a lifetime now, lol. I'm really looking forward to trying all these new techniques this spring. Do you recommend a particular soft plastic technique to start with?
Always fun to see what someone else is using. Haven't had any luck with the big swimbaits or glide baits. Another suggestion for small frog is the Booyah Pad Crasher Jr. and even smaller is the Lunkerhunt 1 1/2" pocket frog. I've caught some nice bass on these small frogs.
Nice haul...hope you can get some biggins on those swim baits! I’m just looking forward to fishing once it warms back up here in Iowa! Getting that itch
I do like your unboxing videos. They introduce me to lures I haven’t seen, plus you talk about technique, pros and cons, plus you are excited about them. I will try the Pistol Pete in baby trout too. And thanks for clueing us in regarding the other channels. I am always looking for more info on smallmouth, as I have them in Lake Champlain and the many lakes and ponds in the Adirondacks.
Nice haul, Debo. I, too, have experienced the larger than expected fishing order following an over indulgence in adult beverages. Wish there was some open water to throw some of my own new lures. Cheers! 🍻🥃🍸🍹
Love me some tackle unboxings . I went through stocked up ,organized ,and then did it all again . Winter just cant get iver fast enough. I am hoping its like last year and was able to get on some smallies in march .
Looking forward to doing more top water, frogs, wake baits, spooks. As well as my trusty chatterbaits. See if I can slow down and do some worm fishing as well. Hardest thing for me to do, sssslllllooooooowwwwww down. Haha. Great video as always.
I'm just trying to get organized right now I'm getting,swimbait boxes,battle boxes,spinnerbait/buzzbait boxes,soft plastic storage boxes and some tuff tainers for everything else.
I knew I shouldn’t have watched this video , you’re costing me money ....now i have to try the pro series. Just looked it up, the tube inside houses a rattle
DEEEEEEBOOO!!!!!! I FINALLY got out for a couple of hours yesterday!!!! No fishing really. Just breaking in a spinning rig and practicing with the baitcaster. It was almost 80 degrees here in eastern NC! It was wonderful. Spent two hours out preparing to catch some 5’s soon!! Just wanted to let you know it was glorious!!!
Great haul Debo! Alot of great baits you picked up. Good luck with your own chatterbait. Definitely need to up my swimbait game this year also. Keep up the great tips and advice buddy! 👍
That's one of the things I like most about this channel is you're not afraid to try different stuff! I though the GS frogs were a little stiff also. One frog that I've had the best hook up ratios with the a manns frog. They're cheap and you can get them at walmart. Now I'm ready for Spring to see how it goes with all this stuff and your crankbaits. Oh and wakebaits are freakin awesome dude. Especially if there's a lot of muck or grass like in ponds.
Def gotta get some more chatterbaits this year. I got loaded up on creature baits at the gander sale, so I am good on those. Hoping to get more on drop shot, crankbait, and plastic swimbaits this spring.
Love your unboxing always intresting and I always end up buying more stuff so thanx D for getting me in trouble with the wife 😂. Also I agree about @@alexruddfishing and @thesmallmouthexperiance with Ben should be in the 100k subs as well as you and @bassgeek you guys are the best. Thanks for the video my dude
River2Sea Bully Wa 2 is hands down the best walking frog I have ever used, give it a go! I am excited for the video about swimbaits, I too am not succesful when throwing them.
DEBO, nice haul. I liked every one of those you purchased. This year... I've never really been much of a "hard" bait kind of guy, low condidence. I've got tons of them, but no confidence. So that's my goal for the year, crank baits, squarebill, top water, swim/segmented, diver baits etc. I've never really used a dropshot rig either. So these are my two goals for the year. Work on hard baits and the dropshot rig. The hard part will be not to reach for my defaults lol love your vids!
Yes, some else that like G-ratt baits too! I got a mouse last year from them and caught a nice bass off of it and since then I've bought a swimbait rod and reel and I did an unboxing video on it. I just got a sneaky pete in the baby trout color, it is my favorite color of theirs, and I am exited to fish with them.
Haha I just did the same thing and am awaiting my packages. Got a new st. Croix legend tournament heavy rod for frogs which I can’t wait for and a bunch of lures on the way! Check out the jackall kaera frogs, love them! That hybrid crank looks interesting may have to add that on the next order! Also picked up the Jackall ganterel and the s waver so waiting for the Illinois thaw to see how those swimbaits do!
Shine Glide is such a good glide bait for the price...I need to pick one up. Just picked up the Storm Arashi Glide and the Gancraft 178(used from Swimbaitunderground but it's in new condition, half price though). Excited to start throwing glides again after a long time away from them. Also, that topwater looks like pike will demolish it! Excited to see you throw it.
winter in Iowa sounds pretty much the same as Montreal weather...sux!! Short days and I dont go on the ice ( went through when I was a kid) so whats left to do?...Shop for fishing stuff...lol now that I got pretty much everything I need , I'm focusing on editing Gopro stuff. My channel coming soon in a theater near you :D
Did some study today with Chatterbaits. Thought I just might share what I figured out. A good friend who is a plumber and has a 650gal.tank in his basement asked me to help him move it. It's like 30" tall by 7' long. We figured out what to use it for 🤔. It's perfect for hydro study!! Shakeyhead rigs, Ned rigs, and now crankbaits and Chatterbaits can be tested there. Today I noticed that when we turn on his pump full blast you can watch what your baits track like when you cast them. If your baits aren't tuned you'll see it hit the sides or roll or whatever. Anyway I noticed that when I'm reeling in a Chatterbait, I can see the silhouette like never before. That's why I don't get bites like I should. I use the Custom models and they are my favorite. When you put on a skirt that mimics the body shape, right?? Well it looks like a mop with no attractive shape so I took the skirt and held it down, then using scissors I angle cut the skirt from the bottom to the top but angled it to make the cut from the farthest point out then cut to the hook barb. That infact gave the bait a fat belly and I took a small cable tie and sinched it down over the Razorshad head so it couldn't come off. Brilliant!!!!! It now runs like a fleeing bluegill and is shaped like it too. Paddle tail doesn't have as much movement but I found a way to fix that too. This tank is really a huge help when it comes to figuring things like this out. Just had to share with you since I don't have a way to share like you do. I hope in some kind of way, this is valid information for you. It opened my eyes better than a swimming pool!!!!
That's cool as heck. I haven't tinkered a ton with mods. I do think trimming the skirt to different lengths definitely gives some cool life to the baits!
@@DEBOSFishing I've used different trailers before on Chatterbaits. Fat Albert grubs, River beaver, & even little Fish Eze. But I found that Rage Swimmers & Razorshad are my 2 favorites. Now when it comes to paddle tail minnows, there's a modification I do. I have a small shafted screwdriver handle I heat up with a torch and I touch it about 1/4 inch up from back of the tail and barely melt a line up & down the bait. On the other side I off set it so not to make the tail so breakable. That allows extremely easy wiggle with less resistance & it makes all the difference in the world!! Usually I don't tell that one but I run across alot of people that tell me a paddletail is a waste of time. Not if you make the right adjustments 😉. I don't turn them upside down but that's my preference. After the spawn, I use a spot of red dye on the bait's head area. That triggers bites really good down here. Today I'm going to the tank to track some cranks I switched out the front hook on. I feel the hooks are a size too small for bass that are on beds. So I'm going to see if that changes the cadence or tracking at all. It's still cold here so I'm going to stay warm and do some homework about my theories. Have a great weekend and I'll holler at you later.👊
I am def going to work swimbaits this year. I want to get a baby bull Shad and give it a try. Also frog fishing I don’t do it enough so that will be another one I want to work on as well, lastly swim jig, I know they work I throw jigs a lot but I need to swim them and work on that. Also just plan and simple fish more this year.
this unboxing was sponsored by adult beverages....lol. Great vid man. I need to catch my first frog fish this year thats one of the many goals for this upcoming year
I'm a big chatterbait guy and spinnerbait I've recently brought my collection of spinnerbaits to over 50 and or chatterbaits to around 20+. Lots of soft plastics for Texas rigging, quite but for Ned rigging and a few swimbaits and jigs. Of course I'm a crankbaits addict lots and lots of them to throw like crazy when the waters warm up a bit lol. I did pick up the same 6 sense swimbait as to and I can't wait to get out there and throw that sucker at my buddy's trophy bass pond!!!!!
Always love a good frog blow up! Gonna be working on chatterbaits and swim baits this year. Kansas ( at least near KC) has been bi polar but this weekend will be doing some pan fishing and just getting out on the water. Tight lines brother!
I have 1 of those 6th sense speed glide looks just like that one just with out the bill i had it all summer and never threw it till pretty much the beginning of winter i ended up catching a pickerel on it but i also grabbed the baby bull shad and the river 2 sea s-waver 168 cant wait for spring
dude thunk you might have got my cart fromTW... but that hack attack frog is the best frog in heavy pads i have ever used. and just got a couple pistol petes because i love the sneaky speak so much (1st glide that i've gotten a bunch of bass on). saving up for thair topwater!
Debo You might experiment tempering the top of a few frogs with your heat gun. I know if I let a frog hang on my rod on hot days they get softer. If you can soften up the top of the frog and keep the belly stiff, makes for more hook ups. I use silicone clear adhesive caulk to seal the nose of my frogs and it reduces the water that gets inside the frog. It works because it stops water coming in and pushing the trapped air out; it works for fixing tears and punctures too. You can’t seal frogs completely because the body can’t collapse if the air can’t squeeze out. I bought some tiny frogs from China and they catch big crappies, rock bass, and perch and even work on Rainbows and Brown trout too. Pennsylvania has 14 different species of frogs. If you research what frogs in your state look like and how big or small they are is like putting money in the bank. Frogs spawn and their Tadpoles are never passed up by anything big enough to eat them. Big nasty water snakes eat little tadpoles and frogs any chance they get. I caught a few and know this to be true; you found out yourself snapping turtles cotton to frogs. I lost a brand new Spro King Daddy Frog the first time I cast one when a Musky the size of a submarine ate it and cut me off like sharp pair of scissors. That things head was clear out of the water and just scooped that frog up like a floating marshmallow, $17.00 dollars gone one cast. You need to get a couple of them jumbo, Bronze eye frogs for your collection. There is another lure you also might give a try; Doug Hannon Snake Lures, 9-inch black is my favorite color, Pike love those things. Glide baits, Bull Shads and pretty much all those style baits are hard to use around weeds and wood. They work in open water, rock and clear water but they hang up real quick when they get near anything else. The other issue is be prepared for long fishless hours between bites. Rotating hooks are harder for fish to pull free from and harder to unsnag too. It is tough dropping a $100 dollars’ worth of lures in one day. That is the reason Musky anglers spool up with 100 and 130-pound braid on Musky rigs. If they can’t bend out the hooks, their custom-made lure isn’t coming home.
Yeah, great thought putting the heat gun to those frogs! Yessir, the long grind with no fish is what turned me off of those big baits. But I want to see the drawing power these things have...🤔
I got a shimano caenan for $35 recently so I couldn't pass that up. It'll look dope with the intenza rod too. I've been shimano brand loyal lately. It just feels like quality man. You the man Debo!
Those Culprit baits are one of their strangest creations,...hands down. Looks like you & I will be fishing some swimbaits this year. I got 2 small ones & that's all I'm going to mess with. They both are H20 Express swimbaits but they look really good so I will give them a honest try. Now those worms you said you were going to be working on your drop shot fishing with, I believe they were made by Venture Baits.... they remind me of the Garlic Worms from way back. I used to wear out some bass on the Fire Tiger color. They disappeared ☹️. They were perfect on a Slider jig. I really liked the 6th Sense Hybrid swimcrank. That color was awesome 👌. I would use it for sure but I've got enough to fish with this year. I'm loaded for bear this year. Only thing I still need is those Lifted Jigs. I got to get some of those by all means. I did get a look at a prototype that is built like a Livingston lure. One of my friends back home has a prototype he's trying out & he swears it is not a Livingston. I believe him but we spoke about all the issues with what they made & it does seem to work pretty good but he won't tell me who it's from. I am keeping a close eye on his studies about it. I like that you did share the box full of Goodies. Makes me want to get back into researching baits again. I tested some cool stuff in 87 -91. Aghhh, those were the good old days 🤔. Well thank you my friend and what is your favorite swim jig??? If you have one. Gotta go, time to see what I can get done tonight. Thanks for sharing your video
I love culprit lures out of clewiston FL, if your ever in Florida fish the South Wall of Okeechobee it's in clewiston awesome fishing loads of monster bass come out of there way over ten pounds , glide baits I never tried, I'll pay close attention to you and see how you do if it worth it I'll give em a try , thanks for sharing your gear you bought
I'll be fishing this spring for the same as last spring and every Freshwater spring before: Rainbow, Tiger, Bown and Brook trout. My Freshwater gear is 100% Trout: Shimano Stradic CI4+ FB HG 2500, Saint Croix Avid 7' Lightweight Fast, moving 2 to 8 pound Fluorocarbon with baits under 3". For Saltwater I have no choice of fish as Dogfish have completely taken over Massachusetts waters... But they are tasty (once you put in the outrageous work to access the meat).
Devo, can you keep something on your table for scale? A ruler, quarter, some everyday item would help. A lot of lures look much bigger on cam.....😳 thanks!
Yooo Debo!! That baitsanity antidote has and absolutely insane action and is an amazing bait! Also the savage gear shine glider 185 is the best size and and 6th sense lures come with triple grip hooks!! Tight lines!!
Your welcome , that 185 shine glider was the first bigger Swimbait that I threw and I gained a lot of confidence with it and stuck a lot of fish ! And the baitsanity antidote tends to nose up on the glide especially if u give it a hard jerk of the reel it looks like a trout surfacing on top of the water, if you don’t like how it noses up like that then change out that front hook with a heavier wire hook and it will flatten the glide out , but it is an amazing bait it’s slowly becoming one of my new favorites ,also check out the arashi glide of you haven’t already very impressive glide
I’ve been stocking up on jerkbaits, and more stuff to do more Texas rigging this year. Have you ever used the Yamamoto shad shape worm for drop shoting? I’ve tried a bunch of different stuff for drop shoting and had very little success until I tried them. They work great and have boosted my confidence immensely for drop shoting just with the one bait. The smoke black and silver flake is my favorite color, works well in clear or stained water.
Its funny you mentioned custom chatterbaits. This winter in Nebraska I have made myself a couple tex-pose chatterbaits for when the damn water finally thaws. I used the game changer trash jigs and just added a blade on the front of it.
I've been swimbait fishing for the last 5 years and I've been catching multiple over 8 in VA, the main thing is you have to relate it back to conventional.
Lol the struggle is real. I said I would wait till spring before I'd buy any more tackle bc I dropped $700 on the black friday sale but two weeks ago I spent another $200. Another great video
Should try more googan baits. I know most people associate it with the "hype" but all hype aside they make amazing lures. There jigs are amazing, and there cranks . Everything has the depth printed onto the lure, I got the mega mystery googan box from karls bait and tackle. It's like 53$ for 90$ worth of googan lures.
I was given a Terminator brand Topwater Frog and it’s Scum Frog soft and the weight is in the back past the hook so it sits almost vertical in the water when you stop it. It’s crazy nice and the best design I’ve seen so far.
Man, I’m from Minnesota, so I feel the pain. You don’t know how many hrs, I spend, looking at lures, waiting for the weather to turn. I don’t know, how you feel about googan baits? But, I’m really just getting into that Jig throwing. And they make, really nice, jigs. You should check them out. Also, 6th sense, swim jigs, are awesome. If you would, let me know your thoughts, on those jigs, if you have tried.? And any recommendations on jigs, in general.
Amputee_Angler here! I received a few new line through baits Savage fears sent me to try, one an 8 inch 3oz trout one a 2 5/6th oz pulse tail line through shiner, I wanna start practicing using my S-Waver 168 to draw in fish then follow up with a smaller Swimbait or keitech and see if I can get some biggens that way, I'm also going to try an Alabama rig this year, but mostly trying to focus on big fish with big Swimbaits this year! Looking for that double digit bass
You need to try the Savage Gear 4D play V2 . It has a crazy action in the water. And they having it in 3 different sizes. I got the 20g slow sink Roach 👌🏽
I like your channel, I grew up in Iowa by Ames, now live in central California. So excited to pick up a retirement hobby and kayak bass fishing is it. Getting a lot of stuff through Tackle warehouse. I picked up two fishing 13 bait casters( inception Z’s and a 13 prototype x spinning reel. The. Reason I bought the 3 fishing 13 reels is because they all came with a free fishing 13 fate black 7’ medium rod. My question is do I have enough versatility with these 3 rods or do I need a different rod now for frogging, flipping, jigging etc? Or will I be able to dress them with different line and get the variations that way? And btw I went nuts on Black Friday TW sale too!
Yeah, my bank account does not like tackle Warehouse. Man...I should do a vid on three combos. I did one like that a long time ago! You can do a lot with three combos!
@@DEBOSFishing ahh oh well. If you ever wanna plan a trip out to the south shore of Massachusetts I could show ya around. We do a trip to the Quabbin Reservoir as many times we can fit in a year. That place is a honey hole if you know your way around. But theres plenty of places we could pond hop around to all day too.
What I really enjoy about your unboxings, is that it gives me considerations for lures that I will actually try, and the detail you go into with each lure really answers a lot of questions, and helps me notice things about lures that I had not considered. I really appreciate the shout out!
Thanks man. The appreciation goes all to you. Thanks for always watching and supporting my man 👊
I love drinking and ordering tackle warehouse!
Hahah the first step is that I admitted that I have a problem 😂
Thank you for saying you trim the legs to the length of the body! Everyone always says to trim the legs but are vague as to how long. I love it, I'm using it, thank you!
I use the body as a general rule of thumb. Often times a but shorter...maybe 1/2 to 1" shorter than the body.
I enjoy seeing new lures! I like the make your own chatterbait stuff! I can’t wait for spring to do some fishing! Looking forward to swim jig/jig fishing and some lipless cranking!
Yeah, I'm interested to see if my creation will work. Yes! Bring on the lipless!
The River2sea frogs have been using the shrink tubing for awhile as well as they are a dual chamber hollow body which keeps virtually all the water out of the body
I haven't used any of their frogs, that's good to know. That dual chamber deal sounds good. I'll look those up!
I started fishing April of last year....unfortunately I'm completely addicted now 🤦. Your channel has taught me sooooo much and I just wanted to say thank you Debo. By far my favorite channel my man. Keep em coming.
@tims_always_fishing Yeah I picked up a blk max to learn now I have $250 combo (slx dc on a bass x) 🤦💵💵💵😂
Man can’t wait to see those swimbaits in action!!
I'm excited to see what I can do with them!
Great video, some good ideas for the weeks too come. My comfort bait last year, the Christie Craw by Yum. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
That's a good one! Thanks for supporting the channel man 👊

You're welcome man! Grab some stick baits! Weightless, texas rig, wacky...those things are pure fish catchers!
Been sick this past weekend. This ViDebo has me feeling better! Tight Lines Debo 🎣
Yuck, I had the crud a while back. Get feeling better soon man 👊
Always fun to see what someone else is using. Haven't had any luck with the big swimbaits or glide baits. Another suggestion for small frog is the Booyah Pad Crasher Jr. and even smaller is the Lunkerhunt 1 1/2" pocket frog. I've caught some nice bass on these small frogs.
I've seen those pocket frogs...need to give them a try!
What an epic box! When I saw the title I knew there would be some savage gear baits in there, those new pulse tails look insane!
Yeah, they have some cool stuff out. I like that they come with the hook in ready to go!
Nice Haul Debo! Sweet frogs and swimbaits!
Thanks man! I'm excited to get out and put them to work!
Everybody should be excited for spring froggin! Some places we have pike and musky we use the ducks😀👍
Pike topwater is SOOOOO underrated. I'd do that all day!
Nice haul...hope you can get some biggins on those swim baits! I’m just looking forward to fishing once it warms back up here in Iowa! Getting that itch
Thanks man, I hope I can find some bigs in them too! Yeah, winter sucks...😂👊
I do like your unboxing videos. They introduce me to lures I haven’t seen, plus you talk about technique, pros and cons, plus you are excited about them. I will try the Pistol Pete in baby trout too. And thanks for clueing us in regarding the other channels. I am always looking for more info on smallmouth, as I have them in Lake Champlain and the many lakes and ponds in the Adirondacks.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching my unboxings. I do like trying and checking out new stuff. He'll definitely get you good smallmouth info!
Great video ... working on swimbait game to bought the S wavier .. that 6 sense swim crank looks great 👍 and of course the 🐸
Thanks! Yessir! Let's go find some horses on these swimbaits 👊👊👊
Nice haul, Debo. I, too, have experienced the larger than expected fishing order following an over indulgence in adult beverages. Wish there was some open water to throw some of my own new lures. Cheers! 🍻🥃🍸🍹
Admitting our problem is the first step 😂 Agreed, open water can't get here soon enough!
I truly enjoy your lure unboxing! My wallet not as much. Creating your chatter baits 🤔. I’m looking forward to the video! Spring around the corner!
Hahah my wallet says the same thing 😂👊
Love me some tackle unboxings . I went through stocked up ,organized ,and then did it all again . Winter just cant get iver fast enough. I am hoping its like last year and was able to get on some smallies in march .
I know man, I miss the open water. Yeah, I need to go on more smallmouth hunts this year!
Good stuff brother, I like the looks of that pad perch, gonna have to check it out.
Thank you, Chris! Yeah, I'm excited to throw that one...well...anything in open water at this point 😂 Hope y'all are well out there brother 👊
Looking forward to doing more top water, frogs, wake baits, spooks. As well as my trusty chatterbaits. See if I can slow down and do some worm fishing as well. Hardest thing for me to do, sssslllllooooooowwwwww down. Haha. Great video as always.
It is for a lot of us man! I'd rather chuck and wind all day 😂👊
I'm just trying to get organized right now I'm getting,swimbait boxes,battle boxes,spinnerbait/buzzbait boxes,soft plastic storage boxes and some tuff tainers for everything else.
Yeah...my organization has been crap. I gotta step up my game in that department!
I knew I shouldn’t have watched this video , you’re costing me money ....now i have to try the pro series.
Just looked it up, the tube inside houses a rattle
Ahhhhhh! I wondered why the damn thing was clacking. Yeah, that tournament series is great. Thanks for the suggestion and hope you're doing well 👊
DEBO'S Fishing
Ughh , soon as old man winter goes away and open waters reveal themselves ill be doing much better .
DEEEEEEBOOO!!!!!! I FINALLY got out for a couple of hours yesterday!!!! No fishing really. Just breaking in a spinning rig and practicing with the baitcaster. It was almost 80 degrees here in eastern NC! It was wonderful. Spent two hours out preparing to catch some 5’s soon!!
Just wanted to let you know it was glorious!!!
Hahah man...making me jealous of that weather!
Lol. That intro. I felt that.
Happens to the best of us 😂👊
Great haul Debo! Alot of great baits you picked up. Good luck with your own chatterbait. Definitely need to up my swimbait game this year also. Keep up the great tips and advice buddy! 👍
Thanks, I'm interested to see how that chatter does! We'll learn the big swimbait game together man!
That's one of the things I like most about this channel is you're not afraid to try different stuff! I though the GS frogs were a little stiff also. One frog that I've had the best hook up ratios with the a manns frog. They're cheap and you can get them at walmart. Now I'm ready for Spring to see how it goes with all this stuff and your crankbaits. Oh and wakebaits are freakin awesome dude. Especially if there's a lot of muck or grass like in ponds.
Yeah, we'll see how those frogs do. The scum frogs are great too! C'mon spring!
Love the un boxing looks like you grabbed a bunch of cool lures.
Thanks for watching! I'm excited to test them out!
looking forward to buying some crankbaits, jerkbaits, and swimbaits this year. Great video dude, keep em up
All are fun to fish! Good luck this year man!
@@DEBOSFishing thanks dude. You too
Def gotta get some more chatterbaits this year. I got loaded up on creature baits at the gander sale, so I am good on those. Hoping to get more on drop shot, crankbait, and plastic swimbaits this spring.
They were money for me last year!
Nice looking baits Debo. What ever The fish will bite lol. Going to work on the frog game. Keep up that awesome content
That's what I'm saying too! If they'll eat it, I'll throw it!
I’m such a tackle junky so I love watching these kinds of videos!
I am too man. It's always cool to see what other folks pick up.
Never heard of green pumpkin crack!!.. Lol .. But killer video as always brother.. An the culprit 3.5 is killer pitching around cover..
Nice! I'm excited to try those culprits! Stay good brother 👊
Love your unboxing always intresting and I always end up buying more stuff so thanx D for getting me in trouble with the wife 😂. Also I agree about @@alexruddfishing and @thesmallmouthexperiance with Ben should be in the 100k subs as well as you and @bassgeek you guys are the best. Thanks for the video my dude
Yeah, we're not going to talk about what the wife says...🤫 Yessir, all those guys/channels should be over 100k!
You were 100% relatable in your intro! 😀
Hahah happens to the best of us 👊
The googan squad filthy frog is a great all round frog. The nightclub color is my favorite!
River2Sea Bully Wa 2 is hands down the best walking frog I have ever used, give it a go!
I am excited for the video about swimbaits, I too am not succesful when throwing them.
Another vote for the River2Sea! I gotta pick some up! Yeah, I gotta work the swim game more this year!
The savage gear glide is one of my favorites! If you throw some smaller hooks in it for a slower sink and you’ll get bit more.
Ohh...good tip man! Thanks for leaving that! I'm excited to try the big swimbait game out!
DEBO, nice haul. I liked every one of those you purchased. This year... I've never really been much of a "hard" bait kind of guy, low condidence. I've got tons of them, but no confidence. So that's my goal for the year, crank baits, squarebill, top water, swim/segmented, diver baits etc. I've never really used a dropshot rig either. So these are my two goals for the year. Work on hard baits and the dropshot rig. The hard part will be not to reach for my defaults lol love your vids!
I had the same problem. Best way around it is to take ONLY those rigs with you. It's tough but it pays off. Good luck man 👊
Thanks DEBO!
Yes, some else that like G-ratt baits too! I got a mouse last year from them and caught a nice bass off of it and since then I've bought a swimbait rod and reel and I did an unboxing video on it. I just got a sneaky pete in the baby trout color, it is my favorite color of theirs, and I am exited to fish with them.
Nice! I love that G-ratt swimbait. I'm excited to throw them more this year!
Haha I just did the same thing and am awaiting my packages. Got a new st. Croix legend tournament heavy rod for frogs which I can’t wait for and a bunch of lures on the way! Check out the jackall kaera frogs, love them! That hybrid crank looks interesting may have to add that on the next order! Also picked up the Jackall ganterel and the s waver so waiting for the Illinois thaw to see how those swimbaits do!
Nice man, that will be a good stick. Yeah, I've heard the Kaera frog is money!
That's fine, unboxing videos are always fun to watch
Just started on stocking up swimbaits and wakebaits also....cant wait to see your swim/wake bait fishes......
I hope I can find some on the swimbaits! 😂 Thaks for the support man 👊
Shine Glide is such a good glide bait for the price...I need to pick one up. Just picked up the Storm Arashi Glide and the Gancraft 178(used from Swimbaitunderground but it's in new condition, half price though). Excited to start throwing glides again after a long time away from them. Also, that topwater looks like pike will demolish it! Excited to see you throw it.
Yessss! Pike topwater is too dang fun!
winter in Iowa sounds pretty much the same as Montreal weather...sux!! Short days and I dont go on the ice ( went through when I was a kid) so whats left to do?...Shop for fishing stuff...lol now that I got pretty much everything I need , I'm focusing on editing Gopro stuff. My channel coming soon in a theater near you :D
Yeah, shop for fishing when you can't go fishing 😂
I got one of the Pulse Tail Shiners too and for the same reason you got it, weedless bank fishing. It’s supposed to come today, can’t wait to try it.
Yes! Let me know how you like it! I have ice here still ☹
Will do, we’ve been fortunate in PA so far, Ice hasn’t lasted very long. Fishing is good, catching is bad.
Looks like we’re both starting the big swimbait grind this year
4 of us 😂
Well we can all learn together! 😂👊👊👊
Same here guys! Let the wallets open up 😥
Debo
Your gunna ❤️ those culprit baits ! I have been throwing those for a couple years , they go great with ewg hook ..
Nice! They look sweet. I haven't seen them before so I wanted to try them!
Great to see a DEBO upload. Love your content
Thanks man, appreciate you watching 👊
Did some study today with Chatterbaits. Thought I just might share what I figured out. A good friend who is a plumber and has a 650gal.tank in his basement asked me to help him move it. It's like 30" tall by 7' long. We figured out what to use it for 🤔. It's perfect for hydro study!! Shakeyhead rigs, Ned rigs, and now crankbaits and Chatterbaits can be tested there. Today I noticed that when we turn on his pump full blast you can watch what your baits track like when you cast them. If your baits aren't tuned you'll see it hit the sides or roll or whatever. Anyway I noticed that when I'm reeling in a Chatterbait, I can see the silhouette like never before. That's why I don't get bites like I should. I use the Custom models and they are my favorite. When you put on a skirt that mimics the body shape, right?? Well it looks like a mop with no attractive shape so I took the skirt and held it down, then using scissors I angle cut the skirt from the bottom to the top but angled it to make the cut from the farthest point out then cut to the hook barb. That infact gave the bait a fat belly and I took a small cable tie and sinched it down over the Razorshad head so it couldn't come off. Brilliant!!!!! It now runs like a fleeing bluegill and is shaped like it too. Paddle tail doesn't have as much movement but I found a way to fix that too. This tank is really a huge help when it comes to figuring things like this out. Just had to share with you since I don't have a way to share like you do. I hope in some kind of way, this is valid information for you. It opened my eyes better than a swimming pool!!!!
That's cool as heck. I haven't tinkered a ton with mods. I do think trimming the skirt to different lengths definitely gives some cool life to the baits!
@@DEBOSFishing I've used different trailers before on Chatterbaits. Fat Albert grubs, River beaver, & even little Fish Eze. But I found that Rage Swimmers & Razorshad are my 2 favorites. Now when it comes to paddle tail minnows, there's a modification I do. I have a small shafted screwdriver handle I heat up with a torch and I touch it about 1/4 inch up from back of the tail and barely melt a line up & down the bait. On the other side I off set it so not to make the tail so breakable. That allows extremely easy wiggle with less resistance & it makes all the difference in the world!! Usually I don't tell that one but I run across alot of people that tell me a paddletail is a waste of time. Not if you make the right adjustments 😉. I don't turn them upside down but that's my preference. After the spawn, I use a spot of red dye on the bait's head area. That triggers bites really good down here. Today I'm going to the tank to track some cranks I switched out the front hook on. I feel the hooks are a size too small for bass that are on beds. So I'm going to see if that changes the cadence or tracking at all. It's still cold here so I'm going to stay warm and do some homework about my theories. Have a great weekend and I'll holler at you later.👊
I'm looking forward to some top water. I never had much luck with spinner baits, so that is one of my goals this year.
Awesome! The spinnerbait is one of my all time confidence baits. Keep grinding with it and you'll get some!
Love the video and the channel! Come on down to Florida anytime if you want to fish for large mouth in the winter. Your always welcome.
Man....I need to find a way to travel during the winter...🤔
I am def going to work swimbaits this year. I want to get a baby bull Shad and give it a try. Also frog fishing I don’t do it enough so that will be another one I want to work on as well, lastly swim jig, I know they work I throw jigs a lot but I need to swim them and work on that. Also just plan and simple fish more this year.
Yeah, simple fishing is where it's at a lot!
this unboxing was sponsored by adult beverages....lol. Great vid man. I need to catch my first frog fish this year thats one of the many goals for this upcoming year
Haha yeah, beer and late night tackle browsing do not mix...😂👊
Looking forward to the swimbaits. They are one of the few lure I haven't tried too much.
Yeah, I haven't gotten into the big glide game much. We'll see if I can muster a dink or two on them 😂
I'm a big chatterbait guy and spinnerbait I've recently brought my collection of spinnerbaits to over 50 and or chatterbaits to around 20+. Lots of soft plastics for Texas rigging, quite but for Ned rigging and a few swimbaits and jigs. Of course I'm a crankbaits addict lots and lots of them to throw like crazy when the waters warm up a bit lol. I did pick up the same 6 sense swimbait as to and I can't wait to get out there and throw that sucker at my buddy's trophy bass pond!!!!!
Nice! Wish I had a buddy with a trophy bass pond 😂👊
Always love a good frog blow up! Gonna be working on chatterbaits and swim baits this year. Kansas ( at least near KC) has been bi polar but this weekend will be doing some pan fishing and just getting out on the water. Tight lines brother!
Can't beat frog blowups in my book!
I have 1 of those 6th sense speed glide looks just like that one just with out the bill i had it all summer and never threw it till pretty much the beginning of winter i ended up catching a pickerel on it but i also grabbed the baby bull shad and the river 2 sea s-waver 168 cant wait for spring
Nice! Slowly building the swimbait collection too! Let's both find some biggins on the swimbaits this year 👊
💯💯 im hoping to brake the pb of 6lbs this yr
Lovely video Debo you need to do a unboxing every week 😂😂😂😂
I wish I had enough money to do that and I would 😂👊
dude thunk you might have got my cart fromTW... but that hack attack frog is the best frog in heavy pads i have ever used. and just got a couple pistol petes because i love the sneaky speak so much (1st glide that i've gotten a bunch of bass on). saving up for thair topwater!
Nice! I'm excited to toss that hack frog!
I love these unboxing videos
Thanks for watching man 👊
Debo
You might experiment tempering the top of a few frogs with your heat gun. I know if I let a frog hang on my rod on hot days they get softer. If you can soften up the top of the frog and keep the belly stiff, makes for more hook ups. I use silicone clear adhesive caulk to seal the nose of my frogs and it reduces the water that gets inside the frog. It works because it stops water coming in and pushing the trapped air out; it works for fixing tears and punctures too. You can’t seal frogs completely because the body can’t collapse if the air can’t squeeze out. I bought some tiny frogs from China and they catch big crappies, rock bass, and perch and even work on Rainbows and Brown trout too. Pennsylvania has 14 different species of frogs. If you research what frogs in your state look like and how big or small they are is like putting money in the bank. Frogs spawn and their Tadpoles are never passed up by anything big enough to eat them. Big nasty water snakes eat little tadpoles and frogs any chance they get. I caught a few and know this to be true; you found out yourself snapping turtles cotton to frogs. I lost a brand new Spro King Daddy Frog the first time I cast one when a Musky the size of a submarine ate it and cut me off like sharp pair of scissors. That things head was clear out of the water and just scooped that frog up like a floating marshmallow, $17.00 dollars gone one cast. You need to get a couple of them jumbo, Bronze eye frogs for your collection. There is another lure you also might give a try; Doug Hannon Snake Lures, 9-inch black is my favorite color, Pike love those things. Glide baits, Bull Shads and pretty much all those style baits are hard to use around weeds and wood. They work in open water, rock and clear water but they hang up real quick when they get near anything else. The other issue is be prepared for long fishless hours between bites. Rotating hooks are harder for fish to pull free from and harder to unsnag too. It is tough dropping a $100 dollars’ worth of lures in one day. That is the reason Musky anglers spool up with 100 and 130-pound braid on Musky rigs. If they can’t bend out the hooks, their custom-made lure isn’t coming home.
Yeah, great thought putting the heat gun to those frogs! Yessir, the long grind with no fish is what turned me off of those big baits. But I want to see the drawing power these things have...🤔
I got a shimano caenan for $35 recently so I couldn't pass that up. It'll look dope with the intenza rod too. I've been shimano brand loyal lately. It just feels like quality man. You the man Debo!
Nice! That's a hell of a deal for that reel! The intenza feels good!
Those Culprit baits are one of their strangest creations,...hands down. Looks like you & I will be fishing some swimbaits this year. I got 2 small ones & that's all I'm going to mess with. They both are H20 Express swimbaits but they look really good so I will give them a honest try. Now those worms you said you were going to be working on your drop shot fishing with, I believe they were made by Venture Baits.... they remind me of the Garlic Worms from way back. I used to wear out some bass on the Fire Tiger color. They disappeared ☹️. They were perfect on a Slider jig. I really liked the 6th Sense Hybrid swimcrank. That color was awesome 👌. I would use it for sure but I've got enough to fish with this year. I'm loaded for bear this year. Only thing I still need is those Lifted Jigs. I got to get some of those by all means. I did get a look at a prototype that is built like a Livingston lure. One of my friends back home has a prototype he's trying out & he swears it is not a Livingston. I believe him but we spoke about all the issues with what they made & it does seem to work pretty good but he won't tell me who it's from. I am keeping a close eye on his studies about it. I like that you did share the box full of Goodies. Makes me want to get back into researching baits again. I tested some cool stuff in 87 -91. Aghhh, those were the good old days 🤔. Well thank you my friend and what is your favorite swim jig??? If you have one. Gotta go, time to see what I can get done tonight. Thanks for sharing your video
Yeah, I'm really excited to try those culprit creatures!
Yeah, I'm really excited to try those culprit creatures!
I love culprit lures out of clewiston FL, if your ever in Florida fish the South Wall of Okeechobee it's in clewiston awesome fishing loads of monster bass come out of there way over ten pounds , glide baits I never tried, I'll pay close attention to you and see how you do if it worth it I'll give em a try , thanks for sharing your gear you bought
I'll try to share any tips I figure out with the glides. New to them so...it may take a while 😂
I’d like to see a video of the bosses reaction to all the darn boxes coming in the door, I’m going shopping now thanks
The post office leaves my packages in an undisclosed location to protect me....😂😂😂😂👊 Luckily my old lady is USUALLY cool with it...🤫
I'll be fishing this spring for the same as last spring and every Freshwater spring before: Rainbow, Tiger, Bown and Brook trout. My Freshwater gear is 100% Trout: Shimano Stradic CI4+ FB HG 2500, Saint Croix Avid 7' Lightweight Fast, moving 2 to 8 pound Fluorocarbon with baits under 3". For Saltwater I have no choice of fish as Dogfish have completely taken over Massachusetts waters... But they are tasty (once you put in the outrageous work to access the meat).
Devo, can you keep something on your table for scale? A ruler, quarter, some everyday item would help. A lot of lures look much bigger on cam.....😳 thanks!
Yooo Debo!! That baitsanity antidote has and absolutely insane action and is an amazing bait! Also the savage gear shine glider 185 is the best size and and 6th sense lures come with triple grip hooks!! Tight lines!!
Boom! I'm happy to hear all of those things. I'm excited to get to work with the swimbaits this year!
Your welcome , that 185 shine glider was the first bigger Swimbait that I threw and I gained a lot of confidence with it and stuck a lot of fish ! And the baitsanity antidote tends to nose up on the glide especially if u give it a hard jerk of the reel it looks like a trout surfacing on top of the water, if you don’t like how it noses up like that then change out that front hook with a heavier wire hook and it will flatten the glide out , but it is an amazing bait it’s slowly becoming one of my new favorites ,also check out the arashi glide of you haven’t already very impressive glide
The mini bull shad is one of my favorites.
I’ve been stocking up on jerkbaits, and more stuff to do more Texas rigging this year. Have you ever used the Yamamoto shad shape worm for drop shoting? I’ve tried a bunch of different stuff for drop shoting and had very little success until I tried them. They work great and have boosted my confidence immensely for drop shoting just with the one bait. The smoke black and silver flake is my favorite color, works well in clear or stained water.
Hmmm I'm not sure. What is the name of it?
DEBO'S Fishing Yamamoto shad shape worm, it’s called a worm but it’s really a straight tail minnow.
That’s a lot of frogs, which is what I am gonna work on this year. Plus, the Alabama rig I just got
Yeah...I have a froggin problem 😂 I've still never tossed a single A-rig...I need to!
Debooooooo. What you got on my swim baits ?? Haha ha
Its funny you mentioned custom chatterbaits. This winter in Nebraska I have made myself a couple tex-pose chatterbaits for when the damn water finally thaws. I used the game changer trash jigs and just added a blade on the front of it.
Nice! Those would be awesome jigs on there too! Let me know how those work!
I've been swimbait fishing for the last 5 years and I've been catching multiple over 8 in VA, the main thing is you have to relate it back to conventional.
Nice man! Hope I can find an eight lb large face this year!
River2sea S-waver 168 is a straight up boss swim bait. I’m diving into the spring Alabama Rig bite for the first time
I got a couple and tossed them last year...never hooked up. I need to put more time in on them!
Lol the struggle is real. I said I would wait till spring before I'd buy any more tackle bc I dropped $700 on the black friday sale but two weeks ago I spent another $200. Another great video
Dang! Yeah, I've spent more than I should. Oh well...you only live once.
Love those lures
Thanks 👊
If you want to switch to a smaller profile but still attract a big bite Jackall Kaera is a fantastic frog ! You should try it ! It’s killer !
I have heard of that one. I dont own one though. I'll add that to the radar!
DEBO'S Fishing hopefully I get to see a Debo review on it ! 😁🙏🏻
Should try more googan baits. I know most people associate it with the "hype" but all hype aside they make amazing lures. There jigs are amazing, and there cranks . Everything has the depth printed onto the lure, I got the mega mystery googan box from karls bait and tackle. It's like 53$ for 90$ worth of googan lures.
I hope you get some trophy feesh on those lures good luck
I hope so too! Or at least some really angry dinks 😂👊
I was given a Terminator brand Topwater Frog and it’s Scum Frog soft and the weight is in the back past the hook so it sits almost vertical in the water when you stop it. It’s crazy nice and the best design I’ve seen so far.
Love the live target frogs as ell as the river 2 sea. Want to try the Jackal frogs too.
Yeah, I need to check out those River2Sea frogs!!!
@@DEBOSFishing they will take a beating and keep going. Hooks super sticky. A little low to the body though. Had to bend them out a little.
Can you do a video on your rod and reel arsenal? And/or your swimbait/glidebait setup?
I'm going to do my swim/glide setup tonight! Watch for that to drop tomorrow!
I feel your pain, i havent really been fishing for the last couple of years, and im getting ready for the coming season.
Awesome! Glad to hear you're getting back into it!
Man, I’m from Minnesota, so I feel the pain. You don’t know how many hrs, I spend, looking at lures, waiting for the weather to turn. I don’t know, how you feel about googan baits? But, I’m really just getting into that Jig throwing. And they make, really nice, jigs. You should check them out. Also, 6th sense, swim jigs, are awesome. If you would, let me know your thoughts, on those jigs, if you have tried.? And any recommendations on jigs, in general.
Jigs probably catch .more big fish each year than any other lure! I haven't tried their jigs yet.
Amputee_Angler here! I received a few new line through baits Savage fears sent me to try, one an 8 inch 3oz trout one a 2 5/6th oz pulse tail line through shiner, I wanna start practicing using my S-Waver 168 to draw in fish then follow up with a smaller Swimbait or keitech and see if I can get some biggens that way, I'm also going to try an Alabama rig this year, but mostly trying to focus on big fish with big Swimbaits this year! Looking for that double digit bass
Nice! I'm in the same boat as you man!
Bro those drop shot finesse worms look legit!
I thought they looked sweet too. I'm excited to toss them.
GOOD STUFF, DEBO!
Thanks man 👊
You inspired me to order a big box of lurea haha
I take no responsibility for your lure purchases 😂😂😂👊👊👊
love to see what other guys are trying
I know! I think that is always interesting too. Maybe I'm too much of a gear nerd...💁♂️
You need to try the Savage Gear 4D play V2 . It has a crazy action in the water. And they having it in 3 different sizes. I got the 20g slow sink Roach 👌🏽
I haven't heard of those. I'll check those out!
I got one of them Catch Co bull shad's last season, and caught my PB on it. I'm totally sold on them.
Damn! That's awesome man. I got a couple and they do look good in the water!
Debo, I'm almost wondering if those tendrils on the Culprit bait would make for decent Ned Rig baits once the main body gets wrecked.
Hmm, I think they would be too small for that. Maybe a finesse drop shot of some sort...🤔
Interesting I think I wanna make my own chatterbaits now.
I know, right!
Yeah, it makes for some cool options! Let me know how it turns out!
Throw those glides bro ! Build your confidence. Kung-Fu style 🐉🎣
I like your channel, I grew up in Iowa by Ames, now live in central California. So excited to pick up a retirement hobby and kayak bass fishing is it. Getting a lot of stuff through Tackle warehouse. I picked up two fishing 13 bait casters( inception Z’s and a 13 prototype x spinning reel. The. Reason I bought the 3 fishing 13 reels is because they all came with a free fishing 13 fate black 7’ medium rod.
My question is do I have enough versatility with these 3 rods or do I need a different rod now for frogging, flipping, jigging etc? Or will I be able to dress them with different line and get the variations that way? And btw I went nuts on Black Friday TW sale too!
Yeah, my bank account does not like tackle Warehouse. Man...I should do a vid on three combos. I did one like that a long time ago! You can do a lot with three combos!
I have the exact same bull shad. I haven't had luck yet because it's icy in mass right now. But that swimbait has great action.
Yeah, get this ice outtake here...I'm ready for spring!
@@DEBOSFishing you're telling me dude. You anywhere near Mass?
@@peter_420 nope, I'm down in Iowa.
@@DEBOSFishing ahh oh well. If you ever wanna plan a trip out to the south shore of Massachusetts I could show ya around. We do a trip to the Quabbin Reservoir as many times we can fit in a year. That place is a honey hole if you know your way around. But theres plenty of places we could pond hop around to all day too.
