headed up to hubbard lake myself for a couple weeks. Haven't had much success there in July the past few years besides the occasional biggin on a drop off with a ned rig. Staying on the north side near east bay. Is it too late to use a cindy? Maybe we aren't fishing deep enough. No electronics on the boat besides a gps lake map on my phone. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Heading to Windermere Lake in Ontario this week. Coming from Va I have 0 smallie experience and don’t think I’ll be taking my rig so I’ll have limited electronics. But seems like you can catch them good without all the fancy stuff

Love the underspin I have the ball heads but never used them yet I will have to try this Cindy rig

Ben I need to refill my spools ...should I use backing for my fluorocarbon and braid rods and if so what line and size ?

👀👀🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍

Love that bait

Is a 4000 size spinning reel to large for these lighter and longer rods?

The sure spin lose the barrell spin and blade all the time got 3 missing in my box

Could I throw one of these on bfs?

Amazing video.......going to try in north southern ontario. Thx man

been doing these techniques for the past 12 years. I custom make a similar but better underspin. it was a good ride with almost no other anglers using these techniques. THEY WORK.....some days way better than others

Guys, he’s lying. These don’t catch fish. Just keep throwing your wacky rigs. 😅

The cindy seems almost exactly like a hair jig, would you say they are interchangeable?

Great video Ben amd I got my hands finally last month on the Great Lakes Finesse Underspin in both silver and the gold blades. I only picked up spicy melon as I have so many different small plastic style swimbaits to try the underspin with. I really like the Megabass okishira screw head and will use that with similar straight plastic swim baits like the Cindy Rig. Will hopefully get out end of July as going on vacation for over 2 weeks so no fishing till I am back. Can't wait to try them out and keep the great videos coming!

Good breakdown when to use which. Curious how you decide when to pick up a Cindy vs a hair jig?

😎👍

Thanks Benjamin… I bought all that stuff last year, was afraid to use it. So small..lol. This gives me a little confidence to get out and throw em. Fish on sir! 🎣

Rocking the Finn Fishing hat! That must make Ty happy

got a tournament on Candlewood and i think these will be a player.... I have $100 bucks in gift cards to bass pro and i think ima just smoke them on Great lakes finesse stuff lol 🤷🏾‍♂

First comment and view Lfg!

He sounds like caseoh

Hey Ben, my channel is based out of Southern Maine. We fish for a lot of River Smallmouth Bass and practice catch and release. My goal along with my peers on this channel, is to catch some decent sized Smallies. I don't have any videos up yet but there are some coming soon. If you wouldn't mind subscribing it would be a huge help! and if you want to possibly in your next video give my channel a shoutout.

24:15 L O L so what you’re trying to say is, the fish will be everywhere? That’s a very long way to say that.

Awesome

Great video! Having fun is what it’s all about.

And I thought my boat was dirty! 🤣 I love fishing Hubbard. Thanks for taking us with you!

Congrats on 2nd! Keep up the hard work and thanks for the Omnia app tip. Been using it for the past month and its been really nice with all the conditions/map layers and the rewards for shopping

What team fishing series is this?

Loved it! Great content 🎉

What’s the original of that soft plastic swim bait you really like

Nice job guys!!! What lures were you guys using on them bedding smallmouth?

Nice job guys!! What lures were you guys using for them bedding fish?

Loved the video great net job lol

Thanks a bunch Ben for taking us on your tournament adventure. I’m so glad you and your partner did so well. Getting a second place finish🥈 is pretty darn good. It’s even nicer when the best played plans actually turn out great- well done!👍🏻 😊

thought you had a silver phenix?

Glad I saw this video before my tournament this week. What rod are you throwing the Cindy Rig on?

Champion is the best. I have a 202

I’ve always said that Hubbard lake reminds me of a mini Burt Lake. Laid out very similar. The mayfly hatch can be a fun time if you can it just right with the weather!

This was a great insight to your approach on breaking down a lake before a tournament. I think your strategy sounds sound but topwater bites can be temperamental when you get weather changes. If the wind blew, I would be flinging a chartreuse and white spinnerbait. It has always caught me quality fish and that’s what you need in a tournament. Good luck!!👍🏻🍀

Love these types of videos, little combo of tourneys and live tips!

Can you explain why you said you weren’t going to mess with the east side cuz of the wind. Was the wind east to west or west to east?

You're video are extremely good and very practical if the viewers listen and apply . I'll be up north Mi the week of the 23rd. Mullet/Burt and Long lake alpena. Thanks for the help.

Will you do a follow up of you throwing these baits and the results?

What about skirts

Cracking the code!!

Pretty sad that you’re pushing Temu rip offs. I’m all about budget fishing, but all these products are just basically stolen from people who put tons of time and money into designing them and making them. Then marketing them and paying fisherman represent them. It is no different than someone taking all your videos from KZfaq and just changing your name by adding a number on it or something and creating a new account to profit from your work. This is what makes real products so expensive. They have a short window to make money because people steal their designs. So then they are forced to cut on other things like packaging to try to bring you a product that they poured their heart and soul into.

Ive fished successfully on less as a kid so i find these videos like this and mystery tackle dollar store lures irrelevant and stupid. Of course you can find a few stupid hungry fish.
