  • Decided to go out today and fish with an expensive ladyfish lure swimbait. It was an interesting experience fishing with the big swimbait in the saltwater river of Florida

    An 11/0 swim bait hook would be better with that swim bait, but $30 is too much for any soft plastic. I'd rather spend my money on a spool tech swimmer.

    Great video! I agree that it should come with a hook, however, I only paid $15 bucks from 13 Fishing website. Also, I used the recommended Owner Hook and I can retrieve much faster because it 3/4 oz. Also, I'm not the biggest fan of the nose pins that come with it, so I just use toothpicks instead and I place 1 in the body underneath the barb.

    Hi! We’ve been watching your videos we love your channel, we are in love with your X18, we’re actually thinking of getting one currently. Would it be too much to ask approximately what price you paid for it? And did you get it in Florida? We would appreciate your response! Thanks!

    I've got that bait in the blue gill and gizzard shad. Trouble for me is the weight of swim bait hooks is too light. If it was heavier I could reel it faster. Mad yours tore, I guess mine will soon. 😢

    8" 13 Fishing Ladyfish (dark) routinely available online for $8. We fish them bridle-rigged with a 9/0 39948 circle hook and a 3/8oz nail weight glued in the belly for striped bass from Race Point CC to Cuttyhunk to Narragansett to SS Long Island and catch puh-lenty big girlz.
    Caught 38lb Drum on OBX with it last October. Buy 'em by the dozen the bluefish will chomp their tails off.

    What’s your wash procedure regarding washing your boat and gear? Recently went saltwater fishing, rinsed my reels real well so I thought, still ended up having my reel become corroded a couple days later.

    Tie on the “slick lure” and try it down there. Great lure on north gulf coast for big trout, reds and the occasional flattie. It’s like a paul brown lure and a weed less jerk bait made a baby

    Sling it at the Ling.

  • @lowcountrytobackcountryins3049

    How about a big jighead with stout hook for that lady? Probably have to use some superglue too. A lot of better options that you discussed at the end. Not a lot of sense in having to go to all that trouble to make a bait work. It looks awesome though!

  • @Nate-pu7iq
    @Nate-pu7iq 11 месяцев назад

    If that ladyfish was made as a line through with a treble out the stomach I think it would work a lot better and be more durable with the line slot tube through the stomach

  • @lanz2659
    @lanz2659 Год назад

    Any weedless rig I can’t do it anymore I’d rather just have regular hook on top or a line thru.

  • @danielpapp3995
    @danielpapp3995 Год назад

    Honestly if you trim the sides of that paddle tail it will swim better as far as the hooks slot blowing out and not even catching a fish on it that's BS

    The tail of that ladyfish looks too wide, that's probably why it doesn't swim fast.

  • @sedlacekj10
    @sedlacekj10 Год назад

    Can the 13 Fishing lure be repaired by running a bit of braid through it right to left at the center? This could hold the hook into position anyway. I also think this lure would benefit from a size 9/0 hook with a heavier weight or underspin to keep it oriented upright.

    LL - I wonder if a Gambler GZ 8 inch in say icebreaker color would absolutely crush them. 8/0 EWG weighted. I know y’all like the NLB but I bet the gambler would be great. Harken back to your bass fishin days. Lookin forward to a new mini LL.

  • @Wastingtime689

  • @johncampbell1191
    @johncampbell1191 Год назад
