    Only time I’m going to use mono is for one of two reasons, I’m targeting kingfish which is our salt water yellow fin fried train locomotive, the 2nd is for taking kids & learners out on the water, where they don’t care about your equipment and I don’t mind the less expense. Not only that, if they hook up, just a little extra insurance they get it to the neat. I give them a bit of fluorocarbon to hook to help the hookup, but that’s all folks.

    I'm a braid guy also. The first advice I got when I moved into North Dakota was to use steel leaders to avoid getting bitten off by pike. But the problem with that in my mind was that if I did that, pike would be all I would ever catch because everything else would run away from my leader. So I did some digging, and my go-to leader now is 17 lb flouro. I can still catch the more skittish fish, and I have never gotten bitten off, as long as I re-tie after about the fourth or fifth pike.

    So, I've never had success with these baits, but after watching your video, I'm realizing that I have been using them wrong. The other possibility I see is the amount of detail you go into with each name brand lure's attributes. In your opinion, once I correct my technique, how much or little success will I have with my cheap ten-dollar-a-dozen lures?

  • @calebwistad
    @calebwistad3 күн бұрын

    If a bait has the right action and the right buoyancy it won’t matter to the fish how much it costs. 😂 the issue with cheaper baits is typically inconsistency. They aren’t produced very precisely and often one bait runs great while the next sucks. All you can do is try them!

    flouro makes baits lose neutrality - braid requires a leader - I use mono for forgiveness re treble hooks and a baitcasting medium fast action - use only spinning gear if it is windy or smaller baits - I tend to fish for largemouth with Japanese finesse on spinning and bigger or any deeper diving jerkbaits (Smithwick Rattling Rogue or Rapala ) on baitcasting - colder the water the more subtle the approach - and this Big Tip "on a rising bait up size the front belly hook to get better casting, depth and action plus not lose as many fish!!" skin hooking a bigger fish and taking the time to land it or heavier bigger round gap hooks can be more forgiving. Jerbaits, I see most guys throw in open water but I try to glance off cover or tear out of early weed growth like a Crankbait with a snap and longer pauses. these two tips up size hooks with testing for proper buoyancy then trigger fish near cover have me catch fish even in pressured waters.
