Have you tried a ball bearing swivel on the hooks? You said double split ring I never done that. But it got me to thinking a ball bearing swivel seems like it would help even better.
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved
Great video!! I fish topwater almost exclusively, because I love it. Replace the front treble with a red one. Trust me!! It focuses the strike towards the front of the lure.
What baits would you use for spring , summer , and fall fishing?
I use braid with a fluorocarbon leader. It’s the musky fisherman in me. Plus we have a lot of dogfish and pike so having something bite proof helps. I don’t find it effects the top water action. But I use light hardware and tie it not crimped
That black and gold zara spook in the thumbnail is the secret for super dirty water. Caught so many big large and smallmouth with it here in ny
Finally hooked a largemouth on a popper the other week — it was so satisfying!! It was only about 9 in, but still fun seeing the explosion on the water. Then, not even ten minutes later, I hooked the sane fish!
Man come down to Martin creek state lake in Tatum,TX and let’s fish. I’ll throw you a couple $100 be a hero bro
Nothing is more frustrating than fishing a top water frog.
Just see your video. Trying to order the rods you mentioned. 2nd. Rod for$19. But it was not. No discount price. Why? I'm your big fan.
Thanks for your videos. I've learned allot in the past year.
I heard the feathered hooks get sucked in better when the fish "inhales" the bait. Sounds like a very plausible explanation to me.
My favorite way to fish. Love topwater fishing 💪🏼
When did they go from surface lures to top water lures? 65yrs ago I used surface lures lures.
What size split ring do you add for the double? Any specific brand/model you recommend? Love your videos, thanks!
I don’t know if anybody has asked this question or not. But when fishing mono or braided line what pound test would you recommend for each? Thank you
I love top water fishing….just haven't been able to dial in the right conditions to fish that way.
You mention medium heavy and medium rod types with different lines. What about a medium heavy fast action rod? Which line would be better to use with this rod type?
Your videos are the best. They are all well done and have a lot of great information for fisherman like me. I have learned more from your videos than all the rest put together. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for another great video Ty. Definitely going to try the double split ring trick. And yeah I need to keep it simple
You make excelente videos, and we understand perfect. But could be better,, if You show us how to work it.. throw some of them in to the water. Sorry mi English….. I spect you understand what i'm tring to said.
umm was that a swivel on that split ring attaching to line??? i have always used couple of bobber stops, but not swivel… ????
I like Topwater.
Thanks for the shout out!!
What about a main line of braid, and a mono 6 ft leader?
I dont typically through alot of top water in Indy, nevertheless, I will use this info for sure. With land lock indy, my biggest bass is around 7 lbs. Thanks for your very informative video…..
really enjoyed the video. ty
Great video try putting your feather or your bladed hook on the belly hook they’ll hit that and the back hook will catch him give it a shot it works real good for me
Great info, what about talking about wind, no wind topwater lures?
dude legitimately i have an 11 pound bass in my pond and another thats 14 ponds
Frank Scalish is the man! BTL is the best
Gotta love Uncle Frank
Great video. I’ll have to try a silent top water.
Hello sir I’m new to your app you are a good teacher I really get into your videos can you do something on lipless crankbaits
Great tips thanks!
While it's true, only need a few colors…us lure junkies need them all! 🤣
Speaking of frogs, I find it odd that as bass fisherman it’s a category that we don’t readily include in “top” water. We’ll always say it was a frog fish vs a top water fish. Lol. So funny.
Nothing beats a topwater bite ! When a fish blows up on a bait but misses we call it a MaGoo Fish . Great tips and tricks as always
How about poppers??
I caught some of my biggest bass on topwater
Everywhere in the country? We're still in the prespawn
I’m not here trying to promote my videos but I have a large amount of videos on my channel crushing bass on a fire tiger color popper in super clear water. I’ve never tried the translucent before. But now I might when the fire tiger bite slows way down
Man I’ve been flat out crushing it on the top water! An you are right. You’ll scratch your head more then ever while fishing top water always saying the same thing “how the heck did he come off”
I have trouble with my line getting caught in the front hooks on my top water baits. Any suggestions on how to solve this issue?
Top water is definitely the best
Man you really dig deep into this video thank you for sharing 📹 👍 Wish you the best if your fishing events
I've been trying to spread the gospel on how bass see colors for a long time now. Finally someone has read the same research! Yes! To a bass, chartreuse looks white. And blue looks gray. Kinda funny considering what are two of the most popular colors across any bait. I've done videos on it. I've been blasted on Reddit posts over it. Bass are colorblind kids. Get over it. They don't have super vision.
Everything else you said was great, Very help to new people i commend on your teaching.
