Great video I remember the commercials for this bait and others makes me laugh but their will always be a gimmick but every once and a while we might find a gem!
There’s plenty of places in the Carolinas. If youre new to kayak fishing id find a local Facebook group or a friend, so youre not out there alone the first few times
If you kayak is fairly easy to transport than about any place you can legally access a body of water is a fishing spot. I've used Google maps stellite to find little ponds and spots that wouldn't even be spots for boats or even shore anglers. Give that a go
@@ryanfrancis3625 I'm I'm San Diego CA. It's a dry place and most of the lakes are impoundments and reservoirs. Ponds n back waters are not too common. But I've found some access points in to the San Diego River and in to old sand extraction pond quarries. Some times takes some bushwhacking to access.
OK, so I wet my pants laughing so hard. On your FIRST cast you catch a pugnacious little bruiser. Then another. And another. And all of a sudden, Roland's gimmicky helicopter lure isn't so gimmicky anymore. I was really surprised. I remember the commercials, and the lure looked so ridiculous on TV that I wouldn't buy any. Who da thunkit? Great video, really loved it. No way you can label this the worst lure on TV though. It's a secret for your next tourney. Oh, and the "on the water price" should be about $20 each, unrigged. Go for it!
Yeah.. I was surprised TBH. Givin them the ol razzle dazzle.These new fish have only heard of this lure over the dinner table passed down from generation to generation
Many bass baits look rediculous. Some make it in to wide acceptance and use while others don't. What did you think the first time you saw a senko? And then one rigged wacky? Creature baits all look alien parasites to me.
Just found 4 of these in my tackle box from when I was a kid. Watching all those Saturday morning fishing shows got me. Mine are bright yellow. I was gonna write them off but now I’ve gotta give them a shot.
I caught soooo many fish of these in the 90s. My dad ordered them and surprised me with them. I loved them and wish I could buy some now! I used every one of the kit. Hammered bass on them!!!
I had these back in 94-95! They use to be the best fishing heavy lily pad areas. I caught tons of fish on them running them top water like a buzz bait. I actually miss lures like these cause you could catch a ton of fish on the same lure unlike a lot of plastics today.
O' man, that was such a fun video! You did surprisingly well too! I think the silver or gold with glitter would be great because they mimic baitfish like Golden Shiners if you have them in Ohio.
Helicopter, banjo minnow, and the flying lure are all great lures. Wondering, is there any lure you have tried and tried but never caught a fish on? There was one called the zip lure (blade bait) that never caught me anything but weeds.
Oh.. I am sure there are.. but I am a dog with a bone.. I usually won't give up until I get one on it. I am really liking the retro lures.. so you may be seeing more on them in the future.. some of them are so ludicrous, it may take a while to land a fish on em
That was interesting, would love to watch the VCR tape, is it up renting it out,,LOL , . I have inherited my older brothers tackle box after his passing, and he had these lures in the box too, never thought to try as the shape and colors did not strike my attention but never toss them, will have to rethink it now, ,,had to chuckle too because my brother was always watching those info-commercials like it was gospel during the cable TV days. Great video.
So... true story.... The infomercial that they ran to sell that garbage, featured a record 18+ lb bass that was caught somewhere in TX. They plain said in the infomercial that that record bass was caught on the helicopter lure. Well, I had already seen the episode on a fishing show where that same bass was caught... but it obviously NOT caught using that lure. What a scam.
Damn Son!! Ill buy those off you for $5 each. Seriously tho. What did you think the first time you saw a wacky rigged senko? Or a fat ika? Did you a surface retrieve? Might be s bit like a stealth whopper plopper. Prop baits look pretty rediculous.
When my dad passed away I went through all his stuff in the garage. I found a pack.of, I think, as seen on TV Flying minnows. Still haven't tried them.

Incredibly fun video, great stuff!
Thanks boss! Appreciate it.
I had these when I was a teenager the silver fleck one was the best I caught alot of 3-4 lb bass on them .
Time to bring them back to life!
@wendellfishing actually I wish I still had mine , I lost them in a house fire back in 2017 along with alot of great fishung lures ....
Oh man.. sorry boss @@SLYFOXFISHIN
@wendellfishing it's OK brother no body was there or got hurt things can be replaced for the most part. People can't.
Great video I remember the commercials for this bait and others makes me laugh but their will always be a gimmick but every once and a while we might find a gem!
I watched the video all the way through recently. Love it as well
Funny this gimmick actually worked well, I think we were all surprised.
how do you find places to fish like that with your kayak, i live in charlotte,nc and man i just don’t know where to go

Great replies already. But google earth pro can be your friend

I’ve been absolutely loving this channel and it’s helped me a lot as a beginner kayaker. Thank you for the content and keep up the great work💪
Right on brother! Any time for a fellow Yakker!

Resurrect that lure!

You can still find some kits on Ebay!

Found my time capsule at a flea market for $20! Gonna take me a while to go through them.
Had the package as a teenager. Only caught branches. Never even got a strike lol glad it worked for you
I used to wreck bass with the helicopter lure. When they weren't biting anything else, I'd always try the helicopter. Never disappointed.
Love it!
O' man, that was such a fun video! You did surprisingly well too! I think the silver or gold with glitter would be great because they mimic baitfish like Golden Shiners if you have them in Ohio.
Thanks boss.. I surprised myself TBH
Can’t believe you didn’t fish this with your pocket fisherman rod and reel combo. 🤣
In time my friend. in time :)

Unbelievable I’m laughing my ass off. Go Roland!!
:) I can't believe it either
I saw these many years ago at the Ceasars Creek flea market
And you bought them correct?
@@wendellfishing No , but a bought a Rapala lipless crank. Then went straight to the Ceasars Creek spillway, 2nd cast 16" walleye
Oh man........ If you melt it down, you could probably make some decent stickbates.😂
I don't know.. they did well
You earned yourself a new subscriber after two videos
Oh man! Thanks a ton brother!

Thanks boss and sorry to hear about your brother.
Awesome video, always love your content. New to kayak fishing. What are the three rods AND line you would recommend to carry on your kayak. ONLY! 3
Well, it would depend on your style of fishing. But I can answer your question with this video ruclips.net/video/ZhXVdOCy1aU/видео.html
Do you ever keep any fish you ever catch? I am trying to find a good stringer to attach to my kayak.
I really don't keep fish.
Yeah, I had the helicopter lure back when it first came out but never got a fish on it
I had these when I was a kid and expected to catch monsters! I never had a bite! 😂
:)

Yeah.. that crap happens all the time
Hahah buddy they still sell these on Amazon...80 bucks! You got a deal!
Niiiice! I am having Retro Bassin on the Kayak Fishing Obsessed Podcast soon! Pumped to get into all of the retro lures
@wendellfishing Heck yeah! That's awesome!
Damn Son!!
Ill buy those off you for $5 each.
Seriously tho. What did you think the first time you saw a wacky rigged senko? Or a fat ika?
Did you a surface retrieve? Might be s bit like a stealth whopper plopper. Prop baits look pretty rediculous.
When my dad passed away I went through all his stuff in the garage. I found a pack.of, I think, as seen on TV Flying minnows. Still haven't tried them.
I hear ya.. it looks crazy.. but they hit it. I got most of the hit letting it fall and then tugs. Wild
I have Retrobassin on the Kayak Fishing Obessed Live show soon. Gonna be a good one
@@wendellfishingAwesome, I watched Retrobassin before on his top water Jitterbugs vids before
Roland Martin would love this video
:)
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
I actually have a helicopter lure. I’ve caught a 1 pound bass on it
Niiiiice!
@@wendellfishing thx
Maybe the success you're having with this bait is because pressured bass have never seen it before? Maybe?
they have only heard stories of this lure passed down from father.. who heard it from his father
Can yall help me remember a lure? It was a popper lure with a pull string that made the tail swim
Ahhh.. you mean the POWERPAK :)
@@wendellfishing thank you!!!
They caught fish forme
🤦♂️
Can't believe I caught one on the first cast!
