Thank you.

Will do

It's always funny to me.

Until you drop in the lake RIGHT!

@@toddcastledinefishing5924 lol I've been real lucky so far and havent but I'm sure my day is coming Haha

I know right

You'll like it

thanks

oh yea, if you haven't watched some of my other videos you should of me frog fishing, its my favorite way to catch them.

I'm trying to get 2 videos out a week hopefully I can keep up.

good!

I'm not gonna lie I'm glad I don't have to deal with ICE!

Todd Castledine Fishing It definitely takes some getting used to Especially for a Florida boy like me. At the end of the day I think it makes me a better angle are learning how to fish ultra cold water

thank you

No, I've had this bait for over 10 years and we worked out a way to introduce it back into the market. This is the original that will be hard to replicate.

No, I use a 7'6 rod that is med/heavy to heavy. They hit this thing hard and its not something you just reel into them with. You need to swing on them a little.

trying

I think the hunchback never changed, just a different guy running it.

Regular frog fishing tight skipping sparse vegetation things like that I throw the Cara 7'3 swimbait heavy rod. For mats and things I throw the 8' expert XH Rayburn Special

Depends on time of year and water clarity for sure

I like it best in water over 60 but that's down here in the south. You can never get too hot though that's the good thing.

@@toddcastledinefishing5924 thank sir

Go check out some of my other videos, Florida fishing, Rayburn, some other local lakes. All the other videos I have ever done were on public waters.

Ok will do Todd. I’ve already searched on line four the new product and it appears that it is out of stock or manufacturing has not commenced. I was wondering if taking another crank bait and customizing the plastic bill could have the same affect. Thanks

I highly doubt it, this crankbait has a lot going on other than just the bill, you could try but don't think you will get the same results.

M looking forward to giving this new lure a try. Maybe it will give me a leg up during local tournaments. I will keep my eyes open for when these are available to purchase. I have checked Amazon and they are not available. Thanks for your info.

I remember the old scout I actually threw it a bit. I the scout had more of a wake bait bill that had more of a scoop bill. This is an L-bill shape that actually goes almost straight down then goes horizontal. Go check out the Fishing the Hybrid Hunter, the thumbnail shows a great unclose picture of it. Yes it has a thump but not because of the tension of the bill but how it runs through the water.

@@toddcastledinefishing5924 I watched those videos, yes sir. I am formally from central Florida and being from Fl I noticed you get some bites almost like worming the lure. I Have had success doing that on Lake Toho with a Bagley Balsa B crank over Hydrilla on days the fish would not run down a rattle trap. So I guess the bill is a fixed bill and the roundness of it helps it swim through weeds. I would have loved to have had a crankbait like lure that you could pause over Hydrilla to maybe trigger bites. A swimbait goes thru the weeds ok but disappears into the weeds when you kill it so I think fish give up and turn away at that point. Good fishing to you sir...

The bill is not more weedless it keeps the bait on a horizontal level, that makes it not dive down in the grass as much. This bait is so buoyant that it actually wants to float out of the grass on its own. I do worm it through the grass only because the grass is so close to the surface, but 90% of your hits like that occur on the pause. This is why rod selection is so important when fishing it this way.

Yes and its mainly about the action. We designed the popping perch to have a more versatile action. It can do a lot more if worked correctly.

What is the correct way to fish the popping perch? Looking forward to getting the secret bait, it looks like a game changer.

It's a 7'6 medium/heavy. I'm working with Falcon to get the perfect rod for it. Right now you can throw it on there 7"9 XD cranker, or their 7'6 expert SoCal rod

Heck I gotta get back in there I might catch another one.🤣

@@toddcastledinefishing5924 , wow, that’s a damn fine valid point. Fish on Todd 🎣

thanks

It will be introduced at ICast

Grosse Savanne Louisiana

sounds good

Hybrid Hunter

New sub. Thanks

Its a cool place for sure

@@toddcastledinefishing5924 I told the wife that is where I wanted to fish for my 75 birthday. She called and they didn't sound to accomadating, must have to be somebody or know somebody. I watched online The Hack just creamed them with a frog a couple of years back. Just found your site a couple of weeks ago, your doing a great job keep it up. The one thing few talk about is what type structure and cover your fishing. That'd help the High Schoolers and the College Boys connect better. You should ask your viewers to share their most challenging tournament they won and how they won it. Mine was T-Bend in the Houston Bass Club back in '78 or '79. The lake was 10 feet high water all up in the people that live there's ponds. All the bass for a weekend pounder seemed to have moved 20-30 feet back up in timber way out of reach with all the buck brush and the previous years growth. Finally came up with a plan, straight worm (back then that was a Creme Scoundrel) with a 1/2 ounce sinker pegged. No braid and all I had with me was 17lb mono. Braid didn't exist yet. I cast them into the tops of trees as far back as I could throw it. Jiggled it down through the tree, and started smacking the water yo-yo ing it. We won the tournament had to have two limits 20 fish. We culled every skeeter knocker we had caught, and already had double limits. We went to weigh in with over 64 lbs first day. Second place team only had 35. Me and my buddy named that tournament HANG EM HIGH. Throw um in there get em on, crank them up out of the water and then let that big Mercury go in and get them. A few new scratches, but do you wanna win - right? Thanks again for all your hard work. And best of luck to you the rest of the year.

I bet you have

Just a preview, I'm doing other videos that will showcase it more. End of the video has me catching some big ones on it. So yes you might have missed some things.

@@toddcastledinefishing5924 Ok cool...didn't have time to watch the whole video. Look forward to seeing it more in depth

@@xDx0xUxGx I'm doing a 2 part series on it starting next Monday or Tuesday. I shared the boat with a writer during a Strike King writers conference so you can see me catching fish on it, talking about it while doing so things like that. I'm sure in the next weeks I'll do a sit down with it and just talk about it exclusively. Other video "HOW TO FISH GRASS and CATCH BIG FISH" "Best Crankbait ever exposed" even some of my other videos "BASS TRANSITIONS" I'm throwing it in tournaments like the BASS OPENS. I just had to hide it. Not a lot of explanation on it as I wasn't allowed to talk about it at the time. You can however pick up tips on just how I work it and how good it is by just watching. I always want to show people sometimes instead of talking about it. I always felt showing someone is more proof than talking about it.

@@toddcastledinefishing5924 It was my first time watching one of your videos and I guess I'm just used to who I normally watch. They'll sit down and go over all of the things I mentioned in my original comment..basically a very in depth what/when/where/why/how, then they get up and fish with it.

Don't sleep on the regular size ones.

Yea he is.

Nope!!! I was the first person to throw this bait over ten years ago. I kept it quiet for a long time and with the help of Strike King we we're able to bring back the original. Thats why they tried to revamp it because its very hard to capture what the original does.

I was the one that originally brought that bait to the US. Since Strike Pro (US) never did a good job and they ended terms with them it was really never utilized. I'm still in good relations with the overseas SP and since they had no problem with me we worked out an agreement to sell them through strike king, its a win win.

I have most color I catch fish every time when I go fishing I have never problem with that I wish strike pro make them I give strike pro ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for the most crankbait they make

I forget to tell you the deep diver crankbait electric shad awesome crankbait

Thanks I actually designed a lot of the colors that were on the original. It's a good crankbait, crazy fact they didn't want to come back out with this crankbait when we asked. They said it was an old bait. We had to beg them to do it back in 2008.

wow, I've never heard anyone talk about that bait, WARMOUTH WOBBLER in Electric shad was killer. We also made the hunchback popular, at the time it was designed for red fish and trout, first time I took it to Rayburn I knew it was something special. I loaned one to a "friend" for an ELITE event couple years later he took it to his bait company and they knocked it off. This industry is cut throat.

Sort of we got the agreement to go ahead and make the original. Its gonna be called the Hybrid Hunter. I was the first person to bring this to the US. Strike Pro (US) never did a good job and they ended on bad terms but I'm still good with the guys overseas.

Todd Castledine Fishing gunna have original colors ? Smooth etc?

Yes some of the same, smooth for sure as it was one of my original colors I drew for them. There will be some new and some old. I think we have 12 colors picked out.

This bait is something I brought to the US over ten years ago. Luckily my relationship with the old company and my partnership with Strike King we we're able to bring back the original. The 6th sense is a copy of the old one that was originally mine. Thats why they revamped it lately trying to get closer to the original. However this bait has a lot going on and its very hard to remake correctly.

Sweet. Looking forward to seeing what it’s all about

@@toddcastledinefishing5924 I dont know i would like to see the original paten on it cause i know 6th sense version isnt original even though i like it but rapala and 50 other companies have made the similier Crank bait and i have seen it a few times in the last 30yrs of fishing i have seen it pop up again and again it trends for a while and then goes away maybe Strike Pro is original but i truly dont think so if you say 10yrs i have one close to the same thats older in my old lures box right now! and one from rapala thats about 10 yrs old also ..

Too late

Todd Castledine Fishing still sucks lol
