Thank you for the video - Just ordered the Mulletron in both Silver and Mossback to try. I started reeling small bait casters with my left hand (many years ago) which is very easy to do. Then you can throw with right and start reeling without having to switch hands ALL DAY LONG. Nice boat and like those reels too. Blessings
Thanks for this video, received some mulletron a couple of weeks ago and unfortunately sprained my wrist the same day. So haven't been able to try them and wasn't sure the best easy to fish them. Now really excited to get on the water and work them.
@@flatsclassyoutube5502 I don’t know if you got to do any of the testing for the Shadtron lt but, if so how do you think it compares or differs from the mulletron (aside from profile)?
Despite the water being clear, the bottom is dark, do you choose a darker color due to the color of the bottom? And vice versa if the bottom was “much brighter/clear”?
Great content as always Capt CA! Do you change the hook to a bigger size like you mentioned with the 6 inch mulletron or keep the stick hook for the 4.5 inch size? Thanks!
C.A. I moved further from the coast and discovered that the lake my office is stacked with gizzard shad eating double digit largemouth. I mainly throw 7-9" glide bait or 6-8" soft bait and my other rod I'll have a jig or a small finesse swimbait as a follow up bait. Right now the bass are keyed in on tiny shad, so I started getting a bunch of bites on 3-4" swimbaits on a 1/8 oz ball head jig. I had know idea that a bait that small could be thrown so easily from the leverage of the bait. I probably landed 5/20 of these. I had some 4.5 and 6" mulletron in my saltwater bag and decided to try it on the bass. It has been deadly, 100% hook up to land ratio. It just gets bit. C.A. have you caught any tarpon on a mellotron lt? Guys down here cut the hook off a jig headed swimbait or grub and zip tie a circle hook to it essentially have a line through. It seems like the short shank and geometry of the hook might survive a tarpon.
@@flatsclasscharters Thanks. I'm a big fan of simplicity, so I mostly throw a 4 inch diesel minnow on 1/4 oz trout eyes, but a bigger, heavier offering would be nice to get down to the big snook we have here in Stuart. Open water and bridges hold some real snookasauruses!
I saw these at store was debating about trying it. Can I use these if I'm a land base fisher? Would these go good with fenwick hmg meduim heavy with a spinfisher 4500?
100% you can. That 4500 is plenty. I’ve thrown very similar lures around bridges and flats with good success, also if you are able to wade, they’re great too
Yes that rod and reel combo will get the job done for sure. Land base fishing not an issue for anglers fishing the Mulletron… I have a friend who wade fishes with it and walks the seawalls fishing for snook
Actually I have both reels and like them equally for most applications. Just so that Bates Goat was on that particular rod… the Bates Salty definitely would be its equal in many applications
Love the bait. Only problem is replacement hooks. Emailed Zman about it and they sent me 1 new hook. Broke off on a red, got the bait back and hook is gone so bait was done. They need to sell them separate. Edit: Just looked at website, seems they are selling replacement hooks now.
Looks good. I'm going to need the perfect flounder lures for 10' or less of water, 4' average, with lots of floating marsh grass drifting around and lots of green kelp and soft corals. It's flatfish time around the Chesapeake but that means lots of stuff in the water. Jigs catch weeds on most casts. Hopefully I can figure out a lure that flounder like, but ribbon fish don't. If you don't know about ribbon fish just imagine trying to fish around a bunch of ladyfish with barracuda mouths. They're in a school, very aggressive, and they have nasty dental work. They shred bucktails and soft plastics. I'm not sure the lure I need exists.
@@flatsclasscharters they're really annoying to me. But some people fish for them and take home coolers full. They're supposed to be very good to eat, but they're so skinny it would take a couple fish to be full.

Thanks C A for the daily tips.
We try hard to deliver
Love all your content. I learn something from every video. Thank you. Where can I get a stool like you use? Tight lines.
Its called the Emperor Stool

Thanks for the great share!
Absolutely awesome bait when out this morning and really used it because of your video and caught some monster reds
Love hearing this news Mark
CA… best of the best!
Appreciate the big vote of confidence my friend

You will like how the Mulletron performs Mike… get healed up soon
These videos make me miss home in port richey keep up the good work capt
I wasn’t fishing that far away from your old stomping grounds
Obviously a little late to comment but it is one of the best skipping baits in either size
I love this bait for skipping docks and overhanging mangroves… you’re spot on Austin!

Interesting hook concept. I’ll look into it.
Mulletron one of my go to baits. Looking for long pants for fishing. Any recommendations?
Aftco or Howler Bros

I see your fishing fish creek at Ozello. 👍
CA, you may have said, but what power and action rod do you recommend?
I prefer MH/Fast
@@flatsclasscharters Thank you for the response and the content you put out. It means a lot to guys like myself who didn't grow up coastal fishing.
It’s too weedy where in the summer where I am to fish the LT Mulletron. What hook works best for rigging the regular Mulletron weedless?
5/0 EWG (Zman Chinlockz) in 1/4oz size
Thanks!
How do yhey skip? I fish a lot of docks for snook but also like to cover open water between docks in the early mornings.
Oh they skip easy… perfect body for rolling low trajectory casts way under the docks
@@flatsclasscharters Thanks. I'm a big fan of simplicity, so I mostly throw a 4 inch diesel minnow on 1/4 oz trout eyes, but a bigger, heavier offering would be nice to get down to the big snook we have here in Stuart. Open water and bridges hold some real snookasauruses!
My favorite skipping lure!
What reel are you using?
Bates Fishing Company makes the best casting reels
Where did you get the stool in the front of the boat? I've got a bad back! I need that for my center console!
Tailwater Outfitters in Tarpon Springs Florida
I saw these at store was debating about trying it. Can I use these if I'm a land base fisher? Would these go good with fenwick hmg meduim heavy with a spinfisher 4500?
They are great for bass I have caught small 1 pounders on them
Spinfisher 4500 is a beast, more than you need. The mulletron has caught me bass to 6-7#'s. I like the zman Herculez even more.
100% you can. That 4500 is plenty. I’ve thrown very similar lures around bridges and flats with good success, also if you are able to wade, they’re great too
Yes that rod and reel combo will get the job done for sure. Land base fishing not an issue for anglers fishing the Mulletron… I have a friend who wade fishes with it and walks the seawalls fishing for snook
What knot are you using to connect to the hook?
Palomar
Cool bait
Tried one yesterday...they dont cast (from a baitcasting reel) ...you have to "lob" them
You will find they cast best on a crisp MH casting rod.
Do you use the Bates Salty for different applications than the Goat?
Actually I have both reels and like them equally for most applications. Just so that Bates Goat was on that particular rod… the Bates Salty definitely would be its equal in many applications
@@flatsclasscharters I’ve seen you use the goat a bunch so just curious if you had the salty being used for something different 👍🏼

Thank you for the great insight and add to this post… much appreciated
I haven’t gotten any replacement hooks yet, I hope they’re better, but the original hooks they come with rust way too easily for a saltwater lure!

Wow… Ribbonfish seem pretty formidable

What retrieve ratio was your Bates GOAT in this video?
7.1
Need more handle on rod
He is using heavier braid than he suggested in his braid video
The braid video example was for my spinning rod set up… casting reels allow you to utilize heavier weight braid
