My man we all love you. Congrats for how far you've come on the tube man. And thank you.. thank you, thank you thank you for all the informational tidbits.
Here I am hardly halfway through the video making a comment all ready🎉❤ learning on these baits and feeling the action is going to help my reaction bite
Hey Hank, super informative as always. You may not consider yourself special, but you definitely have a special talent that we all know took years of hard work. Glad to see that it’s paying off for you & hope it continues. We’ll be here.#100percentwatchsquad
Great tips Hank! I can attest to the spoon and the small swimbaits. That Nichols Lake Fork spoon is absolutely deadly! I love the Megabass Hazedong shad for my small swimbaits. Almost caught my PB smallmouth today on it. I appreciate all that you do.
#100percentwatchsquad baby!!! For me, a jerkbait and a silent running squarebill have been tearing them up. A weightless fluke has been something I throw when I see them busting up and it's worked really well!
Yeah this are great baits. Most of the time I would toss a jerkbait weightless but the water here is super clear and the will come from 10-15 feet down to bust shad. Then right back down lol
I've been fishing a zara spook in all sizes since the late 80s and never tied a loop knot with one and still get a wide walk out of one lol. I do fish those a little slow allowing it to go wide where ill fish others a little faster and get medium to wide walking action. The spook and sexy dawg is my two favorite walking baits.
And when it's shad fry (much smaller than normal) I'll throw a Zara puppy with a spinning rod or lighter baitcasting gear. Matching the hatch size and color.
@@BassGeek bro you know I've been fishing a long time lol I've tried loop knots didn't change a thing. Knowing some proper techniques and fishing them at a certain speed can still get the wide side to side action. They was built and designed to be tied straight to them with a regular knot. I would say it probably you cadence style with or without the loop knot that makes the deference. I give them time to swing out wide before a reel burst or rod twitch. Yea I use reel burst techniques alot no twitch or movement of the rod at all. I was taught those techniques by a old retired pro lol. I actually prefer the slow, heavy clack, wide sweep side to side over a fast retrieve tight walk. Seems to catch way more than walking it fast with a tight walk.
There’s that spook again the black and white one I still kick myself for not getting that color and I’ll never find it the next best thing for me to to is to have Ray at Razor baits to paint me one up! Thx again Hank for all the valuable information you share with us geeks!
Can I throw a spook on straight braid or do I need a mono leader? I love throwing a buzzbait on braid and I kayak fish so I’m limited on how many rods I can bring.
Thank you! My top water rod is a Daiwa airdx medium/heavy fast action 7ft. I throw buzzbaits on 50lb power pro braid. You actually mentioned this rod a while back in your video . I believe it’s the best bang for the buck. I kayak fish so I can carry 5 rods comfortably. I only carry one top water rod so I wasn’t sure if I should tie a leader for walking baits with trebles.
Bought a spook jr only because I saw it on your channel and I can't get it to walk at all the action is all messed up. I'm throwing it on a medium rod with a zebco bullet reel any suggestions?
Great video ++
Thanks very much
Thanks for sharing Hank

Thank ya very much and that hazdong is a killer
Good stuff. Just yesterday I smashed 'em on a 5" flutter spoon. Walking bait and wake bait got some action too.
Heck yeah way to go!
I'm not sure but, I think that was more than 5. Great information. On the spot as always. #100precentwatchsquad
Hey 5 good 10 better!
@@BassGeekin total agreement with you. Keep them coming.
I see you rockin the Jbros triple tail!!! The smaller ones make great Shakey head worms.
Heck yeah they do! I love’em
Great info. I love fishing those techniques too. Been getting them on the ribbon tail worms for sure #100%watchsquad
I love to toss that thing into a laydown that has open space under it this time of year.
Thanks man great video I’ve always had better luck with a 8”” dead ringer with a 1/8 weight on it fishing drop offs and even some cover
Love the dead ringer. Great CRig bait also.

Tie a loop it will blow your mind I promise

That’s what I’m gonna do! I only have 2 of them myself
When in doubt fluke out
You know it
Can I throw a spook on straight braid or do I need a mono leader? I love throwing a buzzbait on braid and I kayak fish so I’m limited on how many rods I can bring.
Yeah you can. Just be sure your drag is right and your rod is softer tip. That braid will rip this hooks out if ya lean on it to hard
Thank you! My top water rod is a Daiwa airdx medium/heavy fast action 7ft. I throw buzzbaits on 50lb power pro braid. You actually mentioned this rod a while back in your video .

My three biggest bass so far this year were on The KVD Caffeine Shad, magic color. Loop knots, check. #100percentwatchsquad
You got it and way to go
Great stuff Geek!!!! Keep it coming. You'll make a northern fisherman out of me yet
Hahahaha Thanks man I love it for sure.
Bought a spook jr only because I saw it on your channel and I can't get it to walk at all the action is all messed up. I'm throwing it on a medium rod with a zebco bullet reel any suggestions?
If that rod is to soft you won’t be able to walk it. Are you using mono? Now you have to be sure to snap the rod and give slack back quickly.
Yes sir mono. Would a spinning reel be better?
You have to give yourself some credit because if you weren't putting out quality and informative videos we wouldn't be watching it. Good job!!👍👍
I try but the channel is in the tank so maybe it can be better I don’t know
#100PWS
Thanks Bob! You Rock sir!
Little late now.
Well would you rather know what I coughs then on or what I MIGHT catch them on????
Beginning of the month is preferable. Middle of the month if late or obscure method that works. When it's late month I'm expecting next month's tips.
Big fan of hair jigs!
Man me too!
