Can't wait to get them up here in Canada. My bags are already overflowing with the Jerk and Freeloader and Mayor. Smallies and walleyes love them. Ding!👊
Freeloader has been my go-to this year...guys don't sleep on the mayor on a swim jig. Can't wait for the mooch!! Fantastic line of baits...great job Jacob
I got hooked on the gizzard shad freeloader this year from smallmouth to walleye. I'm in TN. I CAN'T WAIT to use these in the same conditions as the freeloader and see what happens. Thank you for making a awesome line of "swimbaits"
I was so stoked for these. I looked weekly, hoping they would just appear at Bass Pro or somewhere but I gave up and reluctantly got some 6th Sense jungle minnow, which I fell in love with I still can’t wait to try the mooch minnow
I got some Moochies and had my first 100 fish day. They weren't all giants or keepers, but there were some 2-3 lb spots and a 14 inch Crappie. And I only used 3 because they pulled the tail off of 2. But I put them up for dropshot baits. I did start saying "got'amighty" and "big dawg" after getting them. 😂
Preordered these from Tackle Warehouse after ICast, been eagerly waiting for them to ship. Saw that my local Bass pro just got them in stock today and had to make the trip, couldn't wait any longer lol. After an employee and me searching the fishing section for at least 15 minutes he found them hiding in a tote. They hadn't been put on the shelves yet, but he allowed me to dig through it and pick out the colors I wanted. So shout out to the customer service at Bass Pro for helping me when most places would have just quickly looked at the shelves and said sorry we don't have them yet. Can't wait to throw them around tomorrow and hopefully doinky whop biggen!
Just got mine this past weekend and wow caught 13 bass before changing baits and that was only because fush broke off on timber. Super durable and produces.. caught 20 plus. Fantastic
Fished this past week with a friend for almost 7.5 hours throwing many different lures. We only 3 decent fish and a bunch of drinks With about 40 - 45 left to fish we went to the Mooch. In that last few minutes we caught 8 or nine decent fish.
Nice! Rapala sure is lucky to have the ambassador of U.S tournament fishing on their team. You’ll help sell the shiaTT out of that bait! C’Mon Berkley, step it up!😂
@@caseyhepler2806 I really like gizzard shad, Tennessee shad, also sungill and perch. I’ve caught them on all of them but that’s what I’ve had the most luck with
I’ve got a video idea! new vs old… kvd vs wheeler on my home lake… the armpit of ohio known as alum creek… I know you’ve fished it but its an entirely different lake now! take kvd there and 1v1 him ffs vs the king of cranking!
What about the VMC hybrid swimbait jug head? Is that the deal for the freeloader and the mulch minnow. I wish they had a more finesse head than the three eights
I put 12 packs in the boat and im finna put work in on Dale hollow in a couple weeks 💪😎 i mean got almighty son i cant wait, i rigged one up on a range roller head and have it sittin in my truck to play with while i drive 😂
Different packages than retail? 6 in a pack instead of the 8 baits like it shows in the video? Also in more of a freeloader style package instead of the mayor clamshell?
@@ryanwiedle5296 Good catch! Rapala had to go down in bait count and change packaging so they could keep this bait at $5.99 at retail and stay consistent with the rest of the Crush City line
My first trip out with the new mooch minnow and I caught about 40 on a single bait plus a 14 lb striper. We ended the day with 100 bass on Lake Russell. I caught a few fishing vertically, but most were caught throwing into a school and they would grab it on the drop. Not too shabby 😁. Thanks for all the great details you share.
Ok... let's be clear. I'm not a hater. I'm poor. I can't afford 5 or 6k for ffs. It's all I can to own a boat. How do I make this bait work without playing the video game? Can I make it work blind casting?
Do like I did bud I don't have alot of extra money either and it is tough to follow every trending thing but... if you have any credit at all grab a credit card at bass pro shops and buy the garmin and get on forward facing sonar it's so fun but if your credit isn't there look for birds diving like sea gulls or loons and just start throwing through the birds and bait balls thats below them. Other than that just throw something else hahaha
Fish your normal spots… drop the bait and jig head over the side of the boat, use the “countdown trick/technique” and cast to the deeper side of your structures you are fishing, as well as the structure! That’s it, hope it helps!
Ok? Folks; I am lost did he recommend a jig head did I miss it. Or are we waiting on spring for the tungsten jig head. I mean I saw the budget one. But which VMC is he recommended. I got 3 packs of minnows now I wanna fish now.
@@randallrandolph4977 I really like the tungsten head that VMC is coming out with. The vmc sleek head is a good option now and I also like the Northland tackle Smeltanator that has the 2/0 vmc redline in it.
Need my hands on these bad boys 🔥
Can't wait to get them up here in Canada. My bags are already overflowing with the Jerk and Freeloader and Mayor. Smallies and walleyes love them. Ding!👊
Thanks Jacob for the demonstration on the different baits & trailers.

Waiting on Tackle Warehouse to deliver them! Been on order since ICast

The amount of walleye and smallies i’ve caught on The Mayor swimbaits is crazy. Crush city baits are great.

@@pinnerbaitfishing that’s great to hear!! Thanks for commenting 👊🏼
I love the electric shad, it would be sweet to see that color in the freeloader as well. I'll definitely be trying these soon
they have it in the freeloader
@matta4110 I haven't seen it. I use the gizzard shad all the time but I also haven't bought any in a whil
Wheeler Fishing Awesome video thank you 👍👍👊I have some mooches and a bunch of owner range rollers will they be good on it?
My seven-year-old son said you are too good to us. Thank you.

@@rodcashman4793 👊🏼
Jacob big thanks to you and Rapala for doing soft plastics. Can we get the Crush City Heavy Hitters released to the US market?
I've already caught quite a few on the Freeloader. Can't wait to get my hands on some Mooches.
@@guardiansofdisciples2918 👊🏼
Thanks for showing use things to help use.
@@MikeMcamis for sure! Hope you enjoyed the under waters
What reel should I throw a mooch on? A 2500 vanford?
Absolutely hammered the walleye with this bait in the Ohio River in the Pittsburgh area
@@robertkuzak9311 they like him a lot!
I just got a huge order in can’t wait to get out there and try them!!
@@timhigdonoutdoors5276 hell yeah! Let me know how it goes
Bought 5 packs of them at basspro. Fished them yesterday on Clarks Hill and destroyed them on a rolling strolling head. Great design/ bait JW.
@@PJHambrickfishing That’s awesome to hear! 👊🏼
I’m with you, when it’s kinked it doesn’t have the right profile and profile is everything
Just ordered about six packs can’t wait to try them out
Do you have any tips for fishing them in a river?
Nice! Rapala sure is lucky to have the ambassador of U.S tournament fishing on their team. You’ll help sell the shiaTT out of that bait! C’Mon Berkley, step it up!😂
@@GR8smallie_angler I’m just happy Rapala gave me an opportunity and they listen!
Jacob going to call Academy Sports tomorrow and see if they have them here in Fayetteville Arkansas. 🎣🦌🦃
@@mikebailey2119 👊🏼
WOOOOO PIG! ✊
Just picked up a few packs of the juice. Cant wait to put it to work soon.
@@MusicCityAngler Keep me up to date on how it goes.
Do I need a ball head jig head to get the roll or will a more sharper jig head work too?
@@mattmyers2768 it will work on both but I like a ball head a little better
@jacob wheeler what was the setup you were throwing before modifying the minnow? The spinning combo..
@@Sydney112498 that rod is a 7”1 Med select series rod that I designed. It’s really more for a little bit larger baits
@ ok and what spinning reel and line do you use/recommend?
Recommended colors for walleye?
@@caseyhepler2806 I really like gizzard shad, Tennessee shad, also sungill and perch. I’ve caught them on all of them but that’s what I’ve had the most luck with

@@nancyzipperer8819 it’s really good for the freeloader but not what I would recommend for the Mooch minnow.
Think it might do well on under spin
@@RonnieSprangerJr absolutely! I didn’t hit on that one for a reason. Got to keep a couple things in the pocket

@@MosesFishing heck yeah! I’ll be up there some point in time in December. That place is so special! Let me know how you do.
Ordering today before they’re out of stock
@@dgroves85 💪🏼
Love the bait! Caught some Saturday on it! Can you PLEASE do an updated loop knot video? (How to tie).
@@FishingwithJackk absolutely! Got it on the list
Troll it on a broken back for stripers too
@@RobbysHobbies93 hmm never thought about that
@WheelerFishing I always put a trailer on them. Usually a bubble gum pink curl or white. Makes a huge difference
Took em out today for the first time and 4-5 cast in i caught an 8 pounder suspended on a tree they get fricken bit

Zoom 6 inch worm was the worst, I complained and got 5 new packs!!
Got my 7 packs put them to work on Thanksgiving
@@Tdcfish heck yeah! Happy thanksgiving week!
I've been using similar baits long before I had my FFS. I did tick off some of my fellow boaters with FFS.
@@darrelllarose5584 oh I’m sure! This technique is deadly

What's up wheeler
@@Gitz-Zum what’s up!
@@WheelerFishingabsolutely killer bait amazing job
Where's that straight gill tho????all the colors but what I need....figures
Would you ever throw this bait nose hooked on a drop shot?
@@twassi3549 absolutely! I didn’t really mention that part
@@WheelerFishing Thank you so much. I have a college tournament on Chickamauga at the end of May!
Come warmer weather out here in cali I'm throwing that fucker waitless
@@RobbysHobbies93 heck yeah! 👊🏼
You would have to start now for that to be a reality.
I'm gonna test it out on stripers this winter forsure 👌🙏
Been working for me here on a 1/8 jighead 🎉🎉🎉@RobbysHobbies93
What is tpe
@@jjonathanhamby8549 it’s basically a very durable,high floating and stretchy material that works really well for curtain baits
I was almost gonna try to not use it bc I know everyone else will be until you said walleye ….
@@Justin_Mooney11 hahaha Walter the walleye can’t resist it!
Hahahah can’t wait to try it man ….. stay dialed out there !!!
Under 1 minute gang😅
@@DeerSznDiaries 👊🏼
So jacob your telling me if I buy this bait I will win and become a professional angler
@@RobbysHobbies93 takes a little skill, but the baits are definitely a part of the puzzle
That tail is a rip from ThirdEye Saumari Swimmer
@@bigdreamin7853 ummm absolutely not!
That's some bull$hit...i get to use a bait for a year so i can catch fish and you can't.
@@techtiger38 I hear ya. I did have to find out how well it worked and I’m happy to say it did pretty well. 😁
OOH. Another FFS minnow. How "HOT" can it be?
Ok... let's be clear. I'm not a hater. I'm poor. I can't afford 5 or 6k for ffs. It's all I can to own a boat. How do I make this bait work without playing the video game? Can I make it work blind casting?
If you have enough electronics to find bait balls you can fish around them.
Yeah, if you can see bait on sidescan or even downscan, you can definitely still use it
I don't have side scan
Do like I did bud I don't have alot of extra money either and it is tough to follow every trending thing but... if you have any credit at all grab a credit card at bass pro shops and buy the garmin and get on forward facing sonar it's so fun but if your credit isn't there look for birds diving like sea gulls or loons and just start throwing through the birds and bait balls thats below them.

@@randallrandolph4977 I really like the tungsten head that VMC is coming out with. The vmc sleek head is a good option now and I also like the Northland tackle Smeltanator that has the 2/0 vmc redline in it.
So sad what you are doing
