Let’s go ordered a couple jerk baits and a new evergreen combat stick jerk bait rod on the double dip deal. Can’t wait to get it out on the water. Thank you Ben and everyone at the hookup you guys are the best !!!
I’ve been absolutely smashing them on the raid two-way specifically in any of the floating colors really doesn’t seem to matter on the color much just throw it by itself on an unweighted, strolling hook and just twitch the rod and let the magic happen🎉🎉
Our historic cicada hatch started to occur about end of April-first week of May..it started to wane about the third week of May...and by the first week of June the cycle had essentially come to an end. The one detail to note is that the lightning bugs started to flicker at night at about the same time that the cicadas hatch started coming to an end. Bear witness, it is a sign of many changes to come, good and bad...such is life, then, now, and to come.
i never pop my honker! that's how you get water inside! i love my teckle frogs specifically for their engineered tails (sprinker, honker) mixing in a steady and erratic retrieve really gets me big strikes! i love them simply for the ease of Not having to work the frog extra; like other frogs!
I've experienced 2 massive cicada hatches recent years from north to south. In 2021 we still lived in southwest Ohio, a 17 year cicada hatch called brood X. Then again this spring in southern SC called brood XIX, the hatch in Ohio was significantly more cicadas than this year in SC & there was millions here. I thought the cicada hatches would affect fishing & make top water bite fire! But that was not the case in my experience. I seen zero difference in top water bite either times. I even went as far as catching cicadas putting them on a hook & using live buzzing cicadas on surface to catch bass & see whatever would eat them. I fished crystal clear water, to pretty stained waters & most of time bass would come investigate & turn away? It wasn't what I expected!? Sure some bass would eat them, but they were not targeting them any different than anything else. I think we went from winter to spring & summer & fishing got better as it always does. I will ignore any cicada hatches in future. People try to compare it to a mayfly hatch & I don't believe you can. Mayflys hatch every year, & cicadas only do every so many years, their not a consistent thing.
I have some really good days when the smallies are in the mood for cicadas. Lately that little lucky craft pencil walker has been crushing them. The big ones fall for the smaller baits and the little ones can’t help them themselves. Makes for good time. Also does the spin nuts give you a lot line twist?
The GH haruzemi is awesome for stillwater, was disappointed in its performance in current. I will say it’s hard to catch bass or trout on the damn thing when a bluegill hits it every time within a second of it hitting the water. 😂
The periodical cicadas you're referencing have 13 and 17 year life cycles, not seven and ten. Also, most of them are already dead by mid June. Still love you
All I know is in the far north east of the US. I’ve been catching absolute toads on a KutR tail senco from Yamamoto..these just happen to be from about 2003…my father was an amateur pro in MLF and other BFL’s ..why don’t we talk worms because alot of lakes I fish to catch quality, it’s gotta be a worm on the bottom… not everyone lives in the south and mid west. What about NY. You know how many big bass fisheries we have besides the Great Lakes , we could use a little more appeal in variety to plastic bottom baits ..top water catches good ones for sure. But some Neko talk and Free Rig, Texas rig talk would be dope, it’s been a minute
THE HOOK UP TACKLE IS MY HAPPY PLACE !!!!!!!
O.S.P CO-BUZZN’ in Shikader magic, Abra and Kanabun are smashing em.
Excellent 👍👍

Thank you for your business!
Just saw this video. The Evergreene Gizmo is perfect for the Cicada hatch.
No crazy cicadas in the northeast this year, but in 2021 we had a big hatch and were getting them good on anything Heddon Torpedo-esque
When can we get a Bug bait Underground shirt?
Pre orders will open up next week 😂
Yes!
I’m very suprise a dice bait wasn’t mentioned in this. Or a reef runner style bait for smallies
Great option
OSP Orikanemushi Daddy, or the OSP HP Bug. Bass love slurping them off the top.
👍👍

Every big swimbait needs a Cicada pattern to make the King happy!

What line are you throwing the tiny NZ on?

Black bone baby pop x is great for a cicada bite.
Curious if you guys have any plans to carry the I-wing fry??
No. The wings melt.

Try just drifting it in current. They destroy it

Siglett rules. I think it has a better crawling action than the competitors and I feel like it casts better because the wings fold in to the body.
It’s a great one!
Krazy Krawler
How about a box set
This video BUGS me !! 😂😂
