I feel like the only way to fish these is to yo yo them, they way they swim is way better to jog them than to straight retrieve. Definitely try the Gobius.
That is a great recommendation! That is one of the few remolded ones I haven’t tried and you’re right I am sure the durability on those are much better.
I appreciate it! I try to fish out of the kayak and mini boat as much as possible to find new spots, but when I have limited time to fish nothing is easier than the bank.
By no means is it ideal lol. There are plenty of sites that will tell you what is “best,” but I use a 6’10” medium heavy moderate fast Lews rod. I like the moderate fast because I can throw the bait a little further and there is a bit more give when there is a mush bite so I don’t immediately pull it out of the fish’s mouth. The reel is a lews speed spool super duty wide which I like for the capacity of line and casting distance. And line is just 17lb fluoro. But if I am fishing the 2.4 inch dark sleeper the whole set up is downsized.
I feel like the only way to fish these is to yo yo them, they way they swim is way better to jig them with some small quick snaps, than to straight retrieve. Definitely try the Gobius. Also ever try putting “extra” super glue on the eyes when they are brand new?
In the past a slow straight retrieve with occasional pauses to let it fall to the bottom has been the most effective for me. Goes to show it’s always a benefit to try different retrieves and adapt. I will definitely be getting some Gobius, but might have to wait till spring to use them! And I have never tried supergluing before using them. Great idea!
My best pike bite last year in fall was on a jerk bait. I usually alternate baits for pike pretty often if not getting bit. Lipless crankbaits and soft plastic swimbaits would be my other favorites. Live bait is always a good option too.
100% agree and definitely a trade off with these lures, but if I had to choose destroying a $6 lure or catching no fish. I am picking fish every time 😂
yup this is true. I use these in the cooler months. The dark sleeper and/or a lipless. Both get the job done
What size lipless do you use during the cold months
Absolutely!

Have you tried z-man's version of a goby? Maybe more durable while still being very soft....

No one on RUclips bank fishes lol thank u for that awesome video I definitely followed

Nice - what rod, reel, and lime were you using?

Never fished it that slow!! Have to try now before ice
Good luck!
What to use for pike in late fall.
My best pike bite last year in fall was on a jerk bait. I usually alternate baits for pike pretty often if not getting bit. Lipless crankbaits and soft plastic swimbaits would be my other favorites. Live bait is always a good option too.
love how it looked like, but lose the tail and eyes easily, still great video though

Zman gobius are way more durable
Had to get some to try 😂
Clumsy unhooking, bad treatment, amature
I’ll work on it 😊
@@608fishing Fine, tight lines
not a true fisherman. if you really a tru fisherman you dont release what you catch. you cooked and eat them.. bye.
To each their own as long as it is done legally 😊
@@608fishing yeah good luck with that. People usually like to see them fish and then cooked and eat them. hope this help you.
Do you know what catch and release is?
@@ucxx_CoD yeah recreational fisherman. not really the true fisherman.
@@ucxx_CoD yeah recreational fisherman. some kind below the true fisherman.
