Really enjoyed this episode. I especially liked showing us how to rig some of the baits. I think pro fisherman like you understand free rigging, Texas rigs etc but I would bet lots of your customers don't know what these rigs are. Since that part is critical pls show more of exactly how you do this. Great videos!

For us long time veiwers the intro is just enough time to either grab a beer, smoke a bowl or grab a snack whichever you fancy lol good to see Griff back although its always a heater!

“F*ck, gimme the stupid catfish”. Lol

I’d add the Jackall Nagisa to the i-motion list. I caught a lot of fish on it this fall. The trout love it too, I even caught a small coho on it.

That Griff guy knows what he's talking about.

The shad tail is pretty " neat".

Griff thanks for mentioning the Nishine Namazu. That free rig catches those fish.

Thank you an excellent presentation. I appreciate the demonstrations in the water feature. Easy to visualize haw the lure will perform in our murky AZ lakes.

Man, I wish I would have seen this before going to pleasant last night. They were busting bait but I could not get them to connect with anything. Griff is the man!

Yoooooo Griff my guy! A man after my own 💚, I can't believe how close our fishing styles are. I fish a lot of the same rigs and baits lol it's kinda cool to be able to relate but that hover shot also works good with the hook rigged to the side of the bait to get a better side to side glide to the bait

Been slaying trout on the 2” shadtail on the zappu bredy. Reminds me of the Keitech easy shiner. Haven’t tried it on it panfish or bass yet but I bet it’ll slay.

Karashi works great in small rivers and creeks to catch multiple species. I’ll have to get more when in stock.

The Deep Tracer is like a Tokyo Rig for glide baits 👍👍

haha been doing hover strolling for a minute now but I use a swim jig or ewg hook to a Berkley power wiggler. An only reason I use that setup is cause thats what Kenta Kimura uses or he uses that maxscent paddle tail and does the hover strolling that way I think its great for suspended bass as well.

You guys are great at marketing... Some guys aren't as articulate as you are.😂😂😂

I bet the shadtail would be awesome as a vertical presentation on one of those decoy belly weighted hooks where you can move the weight backwards so it will fall horizontally

How heavy do you go on the deep tracer for the silent killer 115?

That iWaver 60 helped me win the AZ urban derby at PIR last weekend. It’s legit.

Is the silent killer 115 lip removable? if you add weights you could make it a slide swimmer and get two baits for the price of one

Yes it is removable. And in theory, yes you could add weight and have a slide swimmer.

i love your videos bc i learn a ton... i hate your videos bc i spend a ton LOLOL

I got some of the picro, would you just slow roll it ?

iMotion baits are killer is small ponds and creeks, have had multiple 200+ fish days just walking down the bank of and kayaking small creeks.

I fish those larger Namazu on a shaky head believe it or not- you have to find a wide gap shaky head but it works. You just bounce them along bottom and they look like a little catfish foraging. Tbh I would rather have a ball head but I can't find a large enough one for the big ones. I'm thinking maybe a swing head jig would work to- if you wanted to fish them on bottom. Never thought about a free rig- I'll try it, but I need the smaller ones I think for that. I bet they would work weightless on an ewg to- or a belly weighted swimbait hook.

If you are looking for a ball head try the decoy switch head as it gives you the option to add your own hook and comes in many sizes

What happened to the ryugi hover shot hooks?

I’ve found dead bass with catfish stuck in their throats. The cats lock their 3 sharp spines and bass can’t get them down.

How does hover strolling work differently from something like a damiki rig? Just lighter and more finesse?

@gstixfishing9746

The hover strip works best in the upper portion of the water column while the families is more of a deeper technique

What size hook do u use for the catfish?

@MadMaxx89

2 жыл бұрын

I have been using both 3/0 and 4/0 with unrealistic success. They may seem small but I can say from experience they are not going to nip this bait, if they are going to hit it its because they WANT that suckered. You can tell because they pretty much always eat it head first so you can get away with a smaller hook than you would think. I have had great success with it on a shakey head or football head. Good luck

Silent killer is "silent but deadly"

I fish a river and in the current I saw a injured little white bass swimming on the surface and it looked just like that silent killer. A 6 lb spot came up and annihilated it.

Solid info Griff *opens wallet*
