CHEAP vs. EXPENSIVE Swimbaits: UNDERWATER Proof of their Value! (Surprising)

Рет қаралды 115,965

Күн бұрын

We hit the pool with single jointed swimbaits varying in price from $8 to upwards of $1000, to show their differences in action and application underwater. If you're trying to figure out which swimbait should be your next purchase, this video will be extremely helpful. We even found a few cheaper baits to be extremely impressive in the pool!

@stoneysdead689 2 жыл бұрын

There is a place for big wide gliding baits in open water but- the cheaper glide that has a tighter action works 10 times better in cover than the ones that have this wide, extreme glide. The S-waver, the Pistol Pete, Sneaky Pete, and Arashi are great cover glides. And since cover is predominantly what I fish, I stick to the cheaper glides and it works great for me. 6th sense sells inexpensive glide baits so- obviously there is a place for them.

About 3 years ago the first or second time I fished it I caught my official pb 6.4lb largemouth practicing for a tournament and have caught 3s and 4s on it. But that doesn’t mean it’s the best glad out there just saying it catch’s fish

Good vid! The Hinkle trout is 🔥 I Need one! 😜 I have deps and gancraft but never have been able to get my hands on a Hinkle. On those budget baits The 200 Waver is a total different bait than the 168 in my opinion, I consider the 168 just a big jerkbait! The 200 has a way better glide and it dont blow out as easy, It flat out gets bit for a cheap bait

@timlawrence7246 2 жыл бұрын

Quick question about throwing big baits. Do you prefer using braid to leader when throwing a slow sink since you are covering the upper portion of the water column or do you throw straight fluorocarbon across the board? Quick note…caught my some fish burning the bank with my new Trace. Getting more today on 6th sense Black Friday sale to send to be custom matte painted for this winter.

@ryanhill7770 2 жыл бұрын

So many questions. When do you use a snap? Do you ever use a big split ring? How do you know what size treble hooks and which treble hooks are best? How much weight do you add and how and where do you add it? Which paint schemes do you look for? Rotating hook hangers? Braid hook hangers? Line? Heavy mono flouro? Reels and rods?

Braid for sure as a first timer. Line management won't be a big hassle. If you need to tie a long floro leader directly to the braid.
