My buddy @FISHERYIN hooked me up with a 9″ Berkley Nessie last week to test out. I saw this bait at iCast and was really looking forward to getting my hands on one. Though this bait has stirred up a bit of controversy, I gotta say for the short time I was able to fish it….I like what I saw. Let me know what you think down below.

Ouff. RIP
Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!! lol – and with this video, you may never get another!?! Hmmmmm ……….. #ACMTackle 🙂 Be Safe
Oh man, that’s rough! Definitely gotta do a part 2 on this!
Why not testing the original?? Never give a "shout out" to a knock off!!
At least it wasn't the $80 bait that got broke off… would've hurt a lot more
Only controversy is from haters that can't stand there's a similar bait now to their cultdesignworks.
The prob is Grow is a small company and they could not and still can not provide any product. On back order (or very small runs) for over a year. People that had them sold them at ridiculous prices. This is common in the handmade swimbait world. That's why KGB hooked up with Spro who could mass produce their very desirable Chad Shad with good quality and much cheaper price. Maybe Berkley tried to do a collaboration with Grow and they declined. Who knows. If that is the case it is Grow's loss. I have no prob with what Berkley did, and although this bait is kinda inique, as far as I'm concerned, most of these swimbaits look so similar anyway.
We watched your soul get wrenched out of your body! I could instantly feel your pain. So rough to watch, but such a real side of fishing!
What knot did you tie? Just curious.
People are just mad that they won't be able to flip Flags anymore.
losing $13 vs $90… hmmm
Definitely going to be a player for intro glides / swim-baits especially the 5 and 7 inch. 100% going to pick one up for myself just to see if it’s better than a normal glide.
Did you say you were fishing Smith Mountain? There are musky in there.
That's gotta be some crap line if it broke that easy at 25lb test! I seen Ike's demo of it and it looks sick to me!
I've seen you on Universe so you've had a way to get them. Instead of dropping a little money to do at least do a video on the original Flag 170 first, you chose to make a video and support Berkley's knockoff. By "stay out of that drama" you mean be silent and support Berkley, you could have "tried the bait out" without doing a video. Lost a lot of respect for you today.
The quick glimpse I had of the two looks as Berkley copied the Japanese bait with a few modifications at the nose and tail. But hey it's done all the time Right !!
Oops!! 😂 Now that's the kind of thing that happens to me. Go to do something and have a disaster.
" If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all."
It’s a total knockoff. Berkeley in particular has a history of ripping off jdm lures.
That being said there aren’t many original designs in fishing anymore, look how many senko knock offs there are
Man damn bro😂😂😂😂 I wanted to see you work it and get bit. Well on to the next!
Good review of the new bait !?
"Who owns Berkeley fishing lures?" Sheesh. I didn't know it was that complicated. Welp, it is what it is. There's replicants of most lures out there. The company that has the money to support the ad campaign and bring the most cost effective product to market, wins.
That was rough to watch man…😂
that was a cut not a break lol
Mayne not the worst review video, I mean you hooked what looked to be a monster bass or something. Great video though my dude!!!
That looks like Chesdin. If it is, there is Pike in there. I’ve caught a few in there
Megabass made a version also
