Hi Ben, I've recently discovered your channel and your store. Thanks so much for videos like this. Your breakdowns are fantastic. They are detailed and informative and, I hope, useful (I only say that because I haven't been out fishing to try some of this yet!). My first shipment of this bait arrives today! I'm excited to try them out, so this was a timely video. Thanks again and I look forward to the next breakdown!

Imo what sets this bait apart is the quiver action it has when falling weightless- it falls like a senko. Those front appendages sort of wiggle in place as it falls, bass love that slight quivering action on the fall. If you free rig it the weight pulls it down a couple feet and it's kicking and bucking- and then it just stalls out and starts falling very slowly in a horizontal orientation with that slight quiver= getting bit. P.S.- If you're like me and lie the heavier wire hooks Owner makes a little hook called a "rigging" hook- they're tiny but made from heavier wire so they don't bend out.

My chick got me a mystery box of free rigging baits and there were 4 packs of the 3.5 Dolive Beaver in various colors. Also two packs of 3.5 Dolive stick baits and one pack of the 3.6 HO Shadtail. Super stoked to try this technique and baits!

I love to fish the 3" and 3.5" on the jika rig on perch. Dude pretty nice Videos. When im usa i defnetly come to visit you and buy some great stuff. Greetings from Germany

You guys should do more fishing videos!!! The challenges are cool but even if it's just one of you guys that would be awesome

I just bought my first handful of Dolive Beaver's from you guys a few weeks ago. Living in WI it'll be a few months before I can fish them. They look great, but I kind of hope I don't do well with them. Just because of the $10 for 5 baits would make me go broke eventually lol. Whereas the Sweet Beaver is $5 for 10 baits.

“Nice Beaver!” Thank you, I got it at The Hook Up Tackle.

Ben ever try the dolive beaver on the zappu rpz punch shot I had some success with it last year and it had great action with a very light weight 5.0g. It makes those claws thump a little harder on the fall and then. When slowly swimming it near bottom letting it bounce off cover or rocks with a pause and then lift rod tip and let fall back down. They look great doing that with that hook.

@thehookuptackle_usa

2 жыл бұрын

I used the RPZ last year a bit - and dug it! Definitely a little different look. I also snagged them way more than the free rig, so I don't throw them as much. But - it definitely does what you're saying which could make a difference!

Ben loves the beaver lmfao… subtle lol

interesting 'kicking' action as you described it. seems similar to what me also see with the mayfly hatches. size difference... but similar action.

Awesome video and amazing looking plastic. Do you punch heavy vegetation with this craw as well? Action on the fall is killer.

@thehookuptackle_usa

2 жыл бұрын

You definitely can. These are pretty soft plastic, so if you need a super durable bait for punching these are not the ones. But, the 4" on a Flippin hook works great for me for lighter duty Flippin.

I’m a big fan of spinning gear but I found out these tiny free rigged beavers were more enjoyable to retrieve on finesse baitcasting gear. Got a Loomis 892C jwr GLX from you last year and man that rod can launch these tiny presentation on the nano braid

Hey Ben, which “budget” rod would you recommend for free rig? I’m thinking something in the Daiwa Rebellion line?

What braid are you using. I just picked up the Windbuster to pair with the Exist.

You can downsize the hook in order to burry the knot inside the bait if anyone is afraid of the weight damaging the knot. Can also skip a free rigged beaver with a little practice and get it into places you wouldn't even think of throwing finesse. Buy a bunch of packs and some mend it and that's all you need to catch fish!

Hey Ben - I love my Windbuster too but you really think its more sensitive than the NRX+ or Conquest spinning rods? Thanks again buddy

@thehookuptackle_usa

Definitely more sensitive than Conquest - I’d say on par or slightly less than NRX+, but perfect taper

This may be a stretch…but is the triza ageha sort of a travel windbuster? Could I free rig as well as throw okashira screw heads and maybe a small crank?

Not a stretch! It’s exactly that!

When can we expect an OSP hat restock, or hat restocks in general? I've heard they instantaneously make you a better angler. Also, the LC area's. Slaying trout up here in Colorado with those. Arigatō.

@thehookuptackle_usa

Area's are in - we should inventory them in the next week or so. OSP hat's - everything we have instock now is probably all we're going to have for a while. Unless they come out with something fresh!

Hey, Ben. Any update as to when the Orochi XX Leviathans are going to be back in stock? Trying to get an idea as to how much I need to save monthly and incorporate into my budget.

Interesting. So a free rig is just an unpegged texas rig using a drop shot weight.
