Somebody please tell me how to find the description below
Thank!
Another awesome, insightful and educational video Jonny!! Appreciate all the effort it takes from scratch to production.
Excellent video on one of the toughest fishing conditions out there. Especially like the part about judging your fall rate on your baits. Such an obvious solution to find the fall rate when for 65 years I've just guessed.
Awesome content,love your videos.
Great video. Thanks for sharing the info
cool
Love my black maxes. I Have 2 that I've had for the longest of all my reels. And have landed many good fish with them. I agree . They are a good product for the money ,and work for most applications. I have heavy gear too.but these take a licking and keep on ticking.
Fuckin killin it on this channel. Instant sub.
I really ejoy your videos. I have been watching them for several years and have learned a lot. I noticed in this video you are wearing a wedding ring. Did you get married? If so, congraduations! Will you be making some videos with your new bride?
Thankyopu and Good luck.
I keep seeing your black max reels, but I don't see you mention the reel grips on the crank. What are those? Upgrade? Thanks!
i really love fishing,,hop u will give me one of your fishing rod,i cant afford to buy,,😥
You’re a master teacher! Thank you!
10 years!? You're 16 for goodness sakes 🙂
Don't ever graph over a spot 3 times. That's terrible advice. Twice is plenty.
Great stuff.
Excellent. Precise detailed info. Thank you Jonny.
All the comments have said it. Great science, method, observation and technique, and hard work. Thank you very much.

Good info!!
The only issue I have with this guide is other anglers who will pull up to your hole that are consistently catching fish after you've been working so hard on graphing it. Do you have a guide for that Jonny?
Great video ! I've been thinking of using swim baits more here on Rayburn this video pushing me to trying more…as to the black max reels that's all I use now .. They'll cast a mile and cleaning them regularly will give you several years and for the price it's hard to beat and the fish don't care…..lol… Thanks
Your videos are the best instructional videos out there. Thank you so much for all you do for us. You have a PHD on fishing for sure.
absolutely excellent video and incredible in depth presentation!
The fall rate technique helped me alot across the board. I have had tremendous luck lately with a KeiTech 4" easy shiner swimbait on the drop shot.
Great videos. Adding your channel to my fishing subs.
👍 very helpful
A ton of information. My buddy told me about your channel and I must say, I am a sub from now one.
I’m now looking at topo lake maps and adding waypoints with Navionics before I go to the lake…for the first time in my life.
Thank you, thank you, sincerely thank you for all you do, Jonny.
Did you cut off part of the head of the Magdraft?
Good stuff ! I tried some of the swimbait techniques and they worked .
Great tip will be throwing swimbaits on jigheads more
