Good catch!! Yes, I noticed while cleaning up after filming. Occasionally when I tread on the new hook the swivel in the plug will follow and get caught midway in the split ring. Definitely not how you want it to be when the fish hits it! 🎣🐟
will you be doing the tutorial for reading tide and learning where and when the stripe come in and feed? i live far away and i would like something to likely give me a better chance at the canal
Hey there - thanks for watching! I typically don’t go into “spots” but if you watch the videos you’ll see some regular spots I tend to fish. As for the tides, look for low tides near sunrise. These will produce the breaking tides when stripers pin bait in the Canal. 🎣🐟
It’ll start kicking up late August, big push for September and October. November varies, we’ll see how the water temperature holds up as we move through the fall…
For the hooks I use VMC 4x hooks in sizes: 1, 1/0, 2/0, 3/0 and 4/0. For split rings is use SPRO brand in a variety of sizes depending on the size of the lure.
Did you notice that the rings weren't all the way on on that yellow plug? Or were my eyes bad? Good idea with hook protector...

Our plugs definitely need some TLC here and there. Great demonstration Matt
Thanks Jeff - appreciate that! 🎣🐟
Love your videos, keep ‘em coming.
Will do!! Thanks!! 🎣🐟🐟
Those old split rings were still good.
I don’t disagree, but I’d rather change them early than late… 🎣
Great vids Matt. Have you done one on canal tides by any chance and which times of the tide produce the best action?
Hi Joe - I haven’t done a tides video yet but that’s a good idea… thanks! 🎣🐟🐟
