Wow, I'm in swimbait/glidebait heaven. Everyone there owes debt of gratitude to the one and only original inventor of the first big swimbait, Allan Cole and the AC plug in the late 1980s in S Calif. We fished with his garage made monster plugs in lakes and reservoirs around Southern calif and clobbered giant bass and stripers for about 2-3 years, until the word got out in the early 1990s. His lure was the first to start this big fish phenomenon, almost 40 years ago
Hey Geoff, Thanks for the peek at the show. It’s awesome to see all the different types of baits on display. Is the show at the same time & place? Please remind us next year. How can I find some of these bait makers?
Great Video, Brother. Cool to see you and Adrian flipping through the Zine. Appreciate you guys mentioning the Trophy Talk Article. Love to pick your brain for Trophy Talk in the future. 🤟
Man missed the show did not know about it that sucks . Need some new baits and would have been cool to meet you. Dam. I follow the hook up every Sunday. That lake you were fishing g here has some very big bass in it have got some monsters out of there that is a great pattern there. My friend and club member lives on that lake . Have some big fish spots to catch some monsters on all your baits and top water . Thanks again for another awesome video. Late
Nice video! I got involved with BIG SWIMBAITS ....Because of YOU! THANK YOU ! I work 48 to 60 hours a week (big baits are expensive) I really don't follow SU, but I would like to suggest ....In your videos let your subscribers know when there is gonna be another swimbait show. Thanks & keep doing what you're doing...
Thanks for watching! I asked the people that ran this event if they were gonna do another one in Texas next year and the answer was uncertain so who knows when the next one is
Missed it this year, last year's was great. Picked up some Throwback Baits Flee Shad, Wake Walker -- in fact, they were the sole reason I went last year. Looks like things have expanded a bit. I've been meaning to buy some of those Handcrafted Lures...they have a def Roman Made vibe.
Bend in the pin kid has a future in making baits. Love seeing young folks hustling and going for their dreams.
Hype bait central! I need to make it to the next one
You won’t
I’ll pay for your flight

I still have the AC plugs, 7”-9”-12” and I still use them. I’m here up in Nor Cal. I’m an Old school swimbaiter!!
Allan Cole is super OG, I have a couple of his ac plugs as well!
It was nice to meet you there!
Likewise, hope you enjoyed the event!

They definitely caught my eye for sure
Great days my brotha!!!! Cheers!! :))

Good stuff!! And welcome to VA!

That would be really cool!
Bunch of awesome baits!
Too many to buy 😂
Great to meet you there!
Likewise, nice meeting you as well, hope you enjoyed the event!
I see u picked up a king for the king. Hopefully they return to fork this spring, I will go if they do. Closer drive for me.
I’m hoping the same! The Texas gathering was sick!
How often do they meet and where/ when will be the next one?
Killer bro!! Sweet baits out there 🤙 dope vid!!
Thanks for watching my dude 🤟
I was there, and it was a great gathering!!!
It was definitely a really cool event!
What a sick video bro. so jealous of all this. love the Chad shad. been smoking them on it. caught 7 today. 3 over 5 on it
That’s an insane day! That bait works magic!
@@crazybassfisher agreed.
I love everything y’all do man. can’t wait to come in the shop and meet you guys. keep it up!
Glad we don’t have stuff like this in Wisconsin I’d be broke 🤣😅 but looks like a fun time!
😂😂 ain’t that the truth
In one of the clips in the background you can hear some dude go 'im a finesse fisherman ' 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
What is the name of the company that you interviewed first? Where the guy was dropping in nail weights?
Fish Everything is his company.
How do us anglers find out about upcoming swim bait meet ups or trade shows?
This one was advertised on Swimbait Universe on Facebook
@@crazybassfisher thank you.
6:34.. take my money. Those look amazing. I wouldn't know what to do. Like a crack head in Columbia
Who’s making the Koi fish Wake bait?
Dammit man i live right near there. Wish i knew this was going on.
Oh really? That’s crazy, I found out via Facebook on Swimbait Universe
Who made that trout glide at the end of the video? I need that in my life.
BLT?
Nice. Thank you
Thanks for watching homie🤟
Wish there was something like this in Wisconsin. Nothing cool in my state. Sad.
Haha a northern Midwest one would be rad though
What’s up with the 3 crosses in the video? Was it held at a church or something???
I believe so, yes
That scales n tales guy needs to learn how to grow a full mustache
What was gonna happen if Adrian got in the way one more time???
That guy is holding back the entire swimbait community to be honest
@@crazybassfisher real
That fish anything glide straight ripped off Bull Shad.
Thanks for watching 🙏
I actually have been making these designs before Mike Bucca had a shad glide
dope
Thanks for watching 🙏
How outta touch you gotta be to display a Nessie at the gathering SMH
😂
Yea first swimbait i bought was the rainbow trout Castaic swimbait.
