I think that's an awesome idea on the Yamamoto Yamatanuki with the ring!
I've also had luck with the little Tanuki with a 1/0 EWG on spinning gear. It looks like a tiny blugill to me.
Darren, O-Ring's also work great in the center of a dropshot worm. Saves a few more worms. Going to try a tip you put out there. ๐ฏ ๐ ๐ฃ
Chatterbaits have been slower this year than in the past. Poop baits are the ticket after the top water bite dies for me.
That net around 5:30 was pretty slick. You should link that bad boy in the description too!
i been slamming on a trout magnet, has gotten me perch, gills, bass and a muskie believe it or not in july.
I typically use the swim jig exclusively (along with the Ned) but, yesterday I threw on the chatterbait. I had wind and clouds and remembered others saying throw it on these days. Nothing at first so, I tried something. I casted the Mini Max out and let it sink. My lake has no wood but grass on the bottom so I didn't have to worry about getting hung up. Then, I slow rolled it to make it have contact with the 12" or so of grass in my lake. I wanted to get hung in grass and also imitate a dying bait fish. I added twitches, jerks and stop and starts and, it worked great! I had never had any luck with a chatterbait in the past but, they slammed it yesterday! I must have caught 15 bass and a few yellow perch too. Epic day and a new believer in the chatterbait. Can't wait to go again and try it again!!
Iโve been using the Yamatanuki as a chatterbait trailer. Iโve never gotten so many bites in such a short time.
Do you still fish the chatterbait in clear water as well? Most the lakes that I fish have 5' + of visibility…
Bro, I've been catching some of biggest bass ever this year and all of the huge ones were caught on bluegill pattern Berkeley choppo. I actually caught a pig today on it lol, that bait is absolutely phenomenal!
Jigging a chatterdonkey has been the most productive for me . And I also don't see anybody using that technique.
Sadly, dang catfish like it too.
Can't complain though, usually it's a 40 plus inch flathead built like a vw bug.
Great video and great fishing!! Have a good day and week. Thank you for sharing!
Try mend it for your tanukis as well. I have 20 or 30 that I just rotate and use mend it on overnight.
I get a pack of 7 re-made tanukis for every day and I get like 4 or 5 full uses out of each before they lose enough salt to not be good anymore.
Also, if you wanna experiment, you can take the pearl tanuki and put it into packs with the watermelon, and it will give you a chartreuse top to your pearl tanuki
I just saw a video the other day where a guy used a barrel swivel to keep rubbers from ripping off the hook. Run it up your line before you tie on your hook and then after you get the hook through the front end of the bait, run the other end of the swivel over the hook. Haven't tried it yet, myself, but it could work ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Bro I have caught one bass on a chatterbait this year and I donโt understand what the deal is because they are usually one of my best producers but this year has been a bluegill swimjig โBeast Coast Gorilla in natural breamโ with a Strike King Scounbug Trailer
Ribbed baits! ๐๐ค something about it!
Great information thank you
Swimjig has been my go to this summer. Bluegill color with a Storm Largo shad 3.5โ seems to give it a very nice side to side wobble that the ribbed trailers like the strike king and kitech donโt do. Give it a shot to compare if you can find a pack.
I use a 5/0 Owner 5132 twistlock with the Yamatanuki
Really good video!
I have a green Zman Mini Max w/ Big Joshy craw. Feels a little heavy but good action. Had the Yamamoto Yamatanuki out a little today. Used a Mustad EWG with a bait holder. It stayed on the hook better.
It's cool with my photographic memory, I recognized the spots of your fish hookups on this video lol good job.
