Awesome video, My buddy has the baby bull shad which has decent action, but sinks like a rock, I've seen him catch a 2 on it, but that's only a dink. I think they have potential, but the whole injected mold swimbait thing generally is inconsistent. (they're often hit or miss, the higher end baits really make a difference) My answer is just buy a deps 250 (expensive, but the most exciting bait to fish ever).
I bought an mtb and got the mike bucca bullshad in the green color. Only caught one dink with it. However your pro tips about fishing it might be helpful in the near future.
Nope, never used one but then I'm 🇬🇧 and we don't have Largies, Smallies, Spots, Stripes or hybrids here. It's why I love watching all your vids and the Googan Squad stuff, fishing my way across America vicariously through you guys! Loving the content as always YakPak! 🇬🇧 🙏🏻 Namastè 🙏🏻 🇬🇧
Love both baits and use them both on a regular basis. Both of these swimbaits are super easy to use too and I think that’s one thing that draws me to them. They can be thrown on a 7 foot medium heavy so you don’t even need special gear to use them. Anybody can buy these baits and go fish them cause most people who fish for bass anyway have a rod of that length and power. Both are awesome little baits. Great video man!
KvD is the Michael Jordan of fishing, icconelli , Roland, Jimmy these r actual Champions people who have won things not regular fisherman and they don't have a million subs
I use an Abu Garcia black Maxx left handed bait caster and all of my spinning reels are left handed. I also have right handed bait casters such as a penn 309m and some other Abu Garcia 5000 to 7000 series. I love my left handed over my right handed but I use all of them and just love fishing period
I'm right handed and I use left handed all the time. Last year I got a curado DC right handed because that's all they had. Now I know how to use both. But I still prefer using left hand reels, it feels funny feeling with your right hand
My shamono spinning combo is a left handed reel and my baitcaster is right-handed and I hate switching after every cast and I have been trying to find a left handed Abu Garcia black reel
I fish both left and right hand baitcasters mostly left handed tho because my strong hand is my right too hook set fish hard kind of like when your playing baseball and you throw with your right and catch with your left
@@Sammm1473 nice try lil fella, too bad I dont fish for crappie . That was just the biggest I've caught so I took a video of it . Googan junk doesn't catch big fish 🤣🤣🤡
That's what I did with baitcasters just had lefty and righties that way I had to learn both now it's nothing to use one or the other same with when I was in and would qualify on m4a1 I could shoot both lefty and righty lol people looked at me like I was crazy lol it was real nice when I could switch for the 240 and 249 lol
What a challenge with all that grass . I guessed the googan swim bait it sure did preform and do the job . I never fished googan baits if I do I’ll use code yak pak for sure . Thanks for giving your Chanel the same dedication you gave to our great nation it shows love the content vet to vet thanks for your service my brother 🤜🤛
Did you say the line size and type your throwing? Just wondering I'm about to buy my first swim bait ever because of this video! Just started bass fishing couple years ago! I grew up catfishing and trotlines!
Ayeeee YakSquad to the 🌝 250k incoming! Trying to get to 5k myself this year so on the grind daily 😎 love the swimbait fishing brotha! Always brings in those big boys
Hey Tj I’m kind of new to bait casting gear so any recommendations on how to get better at casting and stuff like that?my combo is the lews xfinity bait caster hope you can help!
It's definitely harder then what I thought.... being a spinning reel I reel with left hand ... but I use both and it took a little getting used to it.... it definitely does feel weird
I like the googan contender but unfortunately I only have it In white on both sizes plus a baby bass for the large but I catch more bass with the catch co bullshad in gizzard color. But for quality the contender is better and hooks comes razor sharp 8/10. But the bullshad has more of a realistic swim motion 8/10 plus I i caught a tilapia by the spines I have proof if you want to see . I'll go for both products
Who else has used either of these Swimbaits?

6:22 where it took everything you had not to break the rod, felt that brother. Felt that deep.
Thanks for another great video
5:37 I’ve went fishing recently with a rattle trap and all the fish I cought were on the back hook
1 minute uploaded and already got 100+ views. That’s what’s up bro! Love to see the progress and love the vids!

Haven’t even watched it and already know it’s a banger that’s how you know Yakpak makes 🔥
I don’t understand how you and norm don’t have over a million subs you two are by far the best two fishing channels!

Got several Baby Bull Gills, haven’t got a chance to really get my feel but the action is sooo good, Ruby Gill pattern looks 🔥🔥
First time i used the ruby bull gill i caught a 8 pounder in first five casts with it😂
Seeeeeeesh
What’s up norm
SEEEEEEEEEEEEEsh
love videos like this.
also i switched to left hand a bit ago! game changer for me!!
Gotta love the action of those lures, so lifelike even out of the water. A+ content right here!
hell yeah TJ sick video! i got both those baits been planning on doing the same type video for a while!!!
Googan baits,will have to try both of them soon, great videos there yak attack, I keep learning from them.
The pike here in Canada 🇨🇦 are loving them

Watching hockey and yak at the same time. Amazing night.
🏒 + 🎣 = 🔥
Which game? and which team are you rooting for?
@@hamzah3381 bruins
@@paulbrown4200 Lol im from toronto so I think you know what team I'm going for
@@hamzah3381 ewwwwwww
Ive been wanting to get into swimbaits but tbh they are a lil intimidating to me lol. But 🔥 video as always bro
I'm right handed and I use left handed all the time. Last year I got a curado DC right handed because that's all they had. Now I know how to use both. But I still prefer using left hand reels, it feels funny feeling with your right hand
Keep up the killer videos man
My shamono spinning combo is a left handed reel and my baitcaster is right-handed and I hate switching after every cast and I have been trying to find a left handed Abu Garcia black reel
Shimano sorry I missed spelt beforehand
Thank you for ur videos I appreciate everything u put out 💯💪
I haven’t gotten any notifications of your posting. I’m subscribed and have the bell notifications.
Another banger in my last fishing video I kept saying let em go let em grow lol love the vids Yak Pak🔥
Good catches. Good content keep it up.
I fish both left and right hand baitcasters mostly left handed tho because my strong hand is my right too hook set fish hard kind of like when your playing baseball and you throw with your right and catch with your left
You should make a video on the 10,000 fish Head Hunter swim bait.
Lots of love from Longview tx
I just moved from there. If you want to catch some big ones in Longview, go to the pond by Skinners
@@colt_nichols_fishing5700 thanks I’ll give it a try.
Literally the only swim baits I own. Sent you a vid on insta. Just getting back into fishing.
YakPak is awesome one of the best fishing you tubers you and norm
Bro I literally ordered 3 contenders today! Best purchase ever IMO
Not even close. Only if u like losing money 🤣🤣
@@440-fishermandrock8 lmao, nah, money’s all worth it for some bug fish. Not crappie 😬
@@Sammm1473 nice try lil fella, too bad I dont fish for crappie . That was just the biggest I've caught so I took a video of it . Googan junk doesn't catch big fish 🤣🤣🤡
@@Sammm1473
Enjoy catching your "bug" fish
@@440-fishermandrock8 I’ll catch a big one not bug tho
It took me a little bit to get used to it...but I use right and left handed reels...it keeps it interesting
That's what I did with baitcasters just had lefty and righties that way I had to learn both now it's nothing to use one or the other same with when I was in and would qualify on m4a1 I could shoot both lefty and righty lol people looked at me like I was crazy lol it was real nice when I could switch for the 240 and 249 lol
I always hit that like for you and Norm. Every video.
I’ve been killin lately with the Rapala Jointed Shad Rap. When is Googan going to make something similar in size?
SWIMBAIT SHOWDOWN BABY!!!
I have the same color contender and I think it's the best swimbait around
Yessiir they both slayy man keep up the great content 💯
I know yak gonna get it done either way always great videos. But I'ma go with team GOOGAN and say GOOGAN
You should try fishing with a lefthand spinning reel, like you said it feels nice not to keep switching hand
Love ur videos man
I definitely want to pick up a Contender!
Dude you always have banger videos you and norm inspired me to make my own channel keep up the grind!!
What googan rod would you recommend for throwing T rigs, jigs, small swim baits, frogs
Muscle
The contender definitely, love the action but I want to get a bull shad
What a challenge with all that grass . I guessed the googan swim bait it sure did preform and do the job . I never fished googan baits if I do I’ll use code yak pak for sure . Thanks for giving your Chanel the same dedication you gave to our great nation it shows love the content vet to vet thanks for your service my brother 🤜🤛
Googan. Hands down baby
Nice vid Dude! Greetings from Hungary 👍👍
YakPak underrated!
I caught one as big as the first one on the contender yesterday on the krackin craw
Whats your number 1 lure for peacock
I have the catch Co one it's amazing
Agreed 100%
I caught a 2 pound bluegill on a KVD sexy shad 1.5 crankbait, broke the barb off into my tumb when I tried to get his off lol
Left handed reel gang 🤟
I hope the bull shad catches more because that’s what I got in one of my mystery tackle boxes 🤣
Do a little tutorial on lining up a brand-new baitcaster that be sweet
I have the first one it is a great bait
Did you say the line size and type your throwing? Just wondering I'm about to buy my first swim bait ever because of this video! Just started bass fishing couple years ago! I grew up catfishing and trotlines!
Another banger
Googan definitely
Bullshad cause Bucca has all the science and experience down to a fine art!
My face lights up when I see yak pak posts
Ayeeee YakSquad to the 🌝 250k incoming! Trying to get to 5k myself this year so on the grind daily 😎 love the swimbait fishing brotha! Always brings in those big boys
Bull shad for the win!!
I use the Catch co. on the regular...
Hey Tj I’m kind of new to bait casting gear so any recommendations on how to get better at casting and stuff like that?my combo is the lews xfinity bait caster hope you can help!
When your doing you homework and yakpak post 🏃♂️
🔥🔥
Isn't Catch Co and Googan one in the same?
Right handed guy here and have always cranked with the left, just feel like casting and twitching the rod with the good hand was better
I had a bluegill hit a deps 145.
Yeah boy much love from east tx. I know you love Longview lol I heard they sell good tires
Do you know why my line always gets hooked when I’m fishing the jr contender. I fish with straight braid and maybe I should be using flouro
Yakpak when are you coming to the Midwest?
It’s going to be the Googan contender
Baby bullgill is off tge chain as well little bigger profile than the bullshad whit some badazz action
You talk to much at the beginning of the video but your content is Phenomenal
What pound test are you using?
Yo tj what lb. line do you use with swim baits??
Got em both
Yo Tj what lb line do you use with swim baits??
Are these the jr contender googan bait?
That fish from the contender thoooo 😭🔥🤘🏼🤙🏽🎣
I was throwing the krackin’ craw once and I caught a huge bluegill on it
It's definitely harder then what I thought.... being a spinning reel I reel with left hand ... but I use both and it took a little getting used to it.... it definitely does feel weird
On the next episode of Fishing with Yakpak Alligators attacking from trees lol.
💀🤣 gotta watch out for those jumping 🐊
Lost 2 bass last night. Ever got hooked past the barb? Happened to me last night. Luckily the ER doctors were nice.
I love fishing
what kind of line did you use
I like the googan contender but unfortunately I only have it In white on both sizes plus a baby bass for the large but I catch more bass with the catch co bullshad in gizzard color.
But for quality the contender is better and hooks comes razor sharp 8/10.
But the bullshad has more of a realistic swim motion 8/10 plus I i caught a tilapia by the spines I have proof if you want to see .
I'll go for both products
Yak pak I need more bow and arrow vids pls
grass panda 😂 i died
This is the juice!
I see the beard coming in 🔥 👀
Whats the song in the background?
I got both but have better luck with the contender!!
no but i use some med to heavy rods and reel from the 70s.
And it works
I'm left handed and prefer left handed reels but I have no issues with a right handed reel lol
I know there both Awesome baits. But I think contender. Only time will tell. And haven't used either yet.
