I've been on this bite for maybe ten or fifteen years. When I say match the hatch it's about matching the approximate size and prey. I do the same with my hard baits. It works for me. Glad you put this out for every one in the IA family. It wears me out hearing "they're not biting, how are you catching them?"
That’s what “match the hatch” literally means and it’s so simple. A lot of people get caught up in what’s in the magazines and commercials and pros who go hard on promoting the next new thing instead of learning to use tricks and techniques that work for your particular waters and what the fish are doing at the time. It takes some out of the box thinking and diy ingenuity sometimes. Modifying lures is fun too
Aron Martens was so tuned in, he developed his own color pattern that eventually became an industry standard, like June bug or fire tiger. Anytime you see the term "Magic" in the name of a color pattern, It's because of his color pattern, and commercialized by ROBOWORM under the name "Aron's Magic".
I just got some 1/8 scrounger heads from Picasso. I got Amart on the package. I still watch him doin the hawg snatching, and his details are well worked out. you can tell the focus and control he had to figure out how the bites are happening, from where, and then he would execute what he just observed, and hook another one. Master of patterning bites.
I fish in Lake of the ozarks and those work amazing man my friend used the Berkeley 2 in a 1/2 inch And the 3 inch Berkeley menos work amazing everything eats them and I mean everything Smashes on them!!!! I will have to get some of the zoom and try those I love your videos by the way very thorough
That little fluke should be a killer for the saltwater, snook and other fish around lights at night when the glass minnows are around will only eat a little bait. It would be awesome for the flats too for trout and flounder. It could be a good trailer for little bucktails or spinner baits or chatterbaits too. I just moved to the VA Beach area and there's lots of fresh and saltwater fish that should bute those flukes. And I didn't know about them. Have you tried the little Gulp minnows? They look similar but have scent. I didn't have any luck with them.
randy, this pass spring i took one of my 6" albino magdraft and put a line on each side with a red magic marker, and they ate that thing up over the straight albino

Randy just curious. I've noticed your channel is a bit more on the positive side lately, and the titles look less and less like clickbait. Has this affected your views either way? I know that im more inclined to watch now, but the general youtube viewer may be different.
I'm not a believer in "match the hatch" there are millions of baitfish in a given lake. Why fish with something that's identical to the other millions of baitfish? Your odds of a fish hitting yours is slim.. I will say mimicking the color of the baitfish is a good idea, however i like to fish a bigger size to stand out from the crowd...and im a firm believer in big fish=big baits
It's very important all these nuances are documented. Aaron was a beacon of knowledge. Was truly dialled in when it came to lure control.

Yes, some think it's to look just like the prey. For me it's all about the size.
Great tip. Makes me feel that I’m bass and crappie fishing all at once.

Thanks Randy. Have to try it out. 😁👍
Awesome video
Aron's Magic is still one of my favorite go-to color patterns for finesse fishing. Especially on drop shot, deadstick.
Thank you so much for that knowledge. I fish at a really pressured lake i think that is definitely gonna catch me some fish.
I hate finesse fishing but always watched Aron his skill was unmatched.
Richard Gene has a few videos fishing these tiny flukes the same way just small pops off the bottom, they catch everything!!!
Great Video

Randy we been using them for around 15 year for crappie and stripe but we have caught some nice bass on em ti

Nice upgrade on the background.
I catch speckle trout on it , fishing a double rig , tight lining but working it off the bottom
Dang I’ll have to try that!
@@MrHabitat009 thanks , yes definitely try it for specks , it works good on the bottom and under a four horseman cork too

Why did you hook the fluke sideways on the drop shot hook? Secret tip??
Thank you for sharing ( now subscribed)
That’s my favorite color and put on a Kalin darter head 1/8 oz or 1/4oz.
Tiny fluke is 3 inches per Zoom.
How can you use a bait for over a decade and not know how long it is??? So dialed in but so clueless at the same time? Almost unbelievable.
Good bait but the Gulp Minnow catch a lot more fish.
I miss Aaron! Still hurts to think that he was taken way to early in life ! He had so much to give !🙏🙏🙏🙏

Try them on a double fluke rig in a finesse setup (small line diameter, finesse spinning rod and spinning reel). 🎣🎣🎣
