i like that u mention the fish. it's gonna make it easy for me to remember later

[@SteveChenFishing]

Thanks for watching bro!

*My Grandfather used to say.."painted lures are to catch Fishermen, not fish"...He's been gone for over 40 years. Nice to see his words still ring true. This video is a rare and valuable look into the world of fishing lures. The fishing tackle industry has been ripping people off for decades and it just keeps getting worse. A little truth saying, exposing some of their tactics is long overdue*

[@SteveChenFishing]

Respect to your grandfather, he is 100% right!

[@johnlayne6948]

Good video ! You catch lots of fish. Can you show me how your jigs are tied on your line.

[@SteveChenFishing]

Sure. I usually do a figure 8 loop with 1mm diameter. Let me know if that’s clear enough for you😎

[@myhalfacent7408]

Bro I love your videos, especially when you use ur under water camera catching crappies

[@SteveChenFishing]

I’m glad you enjoyed it. Will try my best to shoot more underwater videos 😆

[@Tackle2thePeople]

Great video! Nice experiment to see which they prefer. Recently I switched to a slip bobber rig to target crappie here in MA. Only bass so far, but feeling optimistic!

[@SteveChenFishing]

Great! Good luck my friend. I’ll start fishing in MA this summer😁

[@matthewxu8859]

Great video man! I noticed that a lot of the small fish ate the painted one, very interesting.

[@SteveChenFishing]

Cool! I wasn't paying attention to the size, good find out!!!

[@BastaGenug]

Nice work. Love the 3way rig will have to give it a try soon.

[@SteveChenFishing]

Thanks. However the 3 way rig is only good for test, you’ll get it twisted most of the time🤪

[@AnglingSpiders]

Good video, looks pretty even. Also a pretty successful trip. Well done.

[@SteveChenFishing]

Thanks buddy! It is pretty even, I was actually believing that painted should perform better🤣

[@GaryTheFishfinder]

I really enjoy it my Friend 24 fish and all good size fishes good Job Buddy 👍👊🙂🎣

[@SteveChenFishing]

Thanks bro! Next video I’ll compare the 1/16 and 1/32 oz jig, stay tuned! Tight lines!

[@GaryTheFishfinder]

@@SteveChenFishing go for it tight line 👊

[@SteveChenFishing]

Will do!

[@Jerrik0]

1/16 vs 1/32 would be an amazing video!

[@SteveChenFishing]

Please stay tuned 😁

[@dragonbob2924]

Nice video. I actually bought some unpainted jig heads 1/32 ounce jigheads and watermelon sexee tail shads today. Looking forward to using them.

[@SteveChenFishing]

Wise choice! Tight lines!

[@keithandrews8157]

Do you have a video for that double jig setup?

[@SteveChenFishing]

I have a video for single jig setup.
Double is just putting a three way swivel connection 😀

[@jeffgao4862]

@@SteveChenFishing great video and thanks for sharing. Is it better to make the two jigs different lengths or same length like showing in your video? I tried to tie 2 jigs in one line (the main line). Which way do you think is better? using two leaders or tie two jigs in one line? Thank you.

[@SteveChenFishing]

@@jeffgao4862 that’s a good question. On the same line up and down two jigs is much better. 1. You can target different depth, 2. Less tangled. I was doing it the same depth with 2 lines only because I want the jigs to be in the exact same position(depth) to make fair comparison.

[@matthewc9965]

Enjoyed the vid 👍🏽 🎣

[@SteveChenFishing]

Thanks, so happy to hear that my friend!😎

[@KayakFishingWithMark]

Very nice and informative Steve. I still need to work on how to use artificial on crappies. Maybe im doing something wrong! :(

[@SteveChenFishing]

Keep trying you’ll like it!😃

[@user-ik6vz7rz2k]

😮

[@Dameflame54]

How deep is your slip bobber set?

[@SteveChenFishing]

Usually 3-5 ft

[@Ace-od5mv]

Both jigs were so close together. Maybe try 2 jigs at 2 different depth and then switch the jibs.

[@SteveChenFishing]

Good idea. I was thinking the same in the beginning, however sometimes the depth you fish is crucial for the bites, so instead I put the jigs same depth same location same time to make it fair enough 😆

[@Steve-rr3gc]

I just asked another RUclipsr if it mattered whether jigs heads were painted or not. I get tired of dipping the jig heads I make and wondered if it really mattered. But you have to fish them at the same depth to make it fair comparison
