Saran yang sangat bagus👍👍 Terimakasih🤝🙏

Lure colors really are designed to catch fishermen. They way chartreuse looked blew me away considering how popular it is. Then I thought maybe it was it's UV properties...But isnt white also UV reflective.... The mind wobbles...

So simple, so obvious, so overlooked. You keep making me rethink 50 plus years of fishing Steve.

Couldn't agree more w the.swim worm. Just discovered them by accident about 2 months ago and it's quickly becoming one of my favorite worm techniques. Also, love the finger tapping and line slapping ideas, def gonna have to try those. I hate tryin to wiggle the rod tip while reeling and I always feel like it can be almost too much action, esp after seeing your video about how aggressively plastics actually react underwater.

Cool observation. Im curious how this same test will differ, if any , what these colors look like from a bottom view looking up?

Junebug in stained water. Pumpkin, green pumpkin and PB&J in clear water.

Wow… thanks for putting in the effort brother

SOLD, I'll be out shallower earlier next spring.

What do you do when the fish in our pond learn your baits and will not hit then at all?

Excellent point I think we fisherman forget how much mathematics affect fishing in most of us like 80-90% are now using fishing rods OVER 6'6" in length and most are using rods 7'-7'3" in length and any movement of those rods at their grip is going to significantly increase the movement at the tip which in turn will result in an equally significant movement of our baits. Great very helpful information and something so very very elementary it can easily escape our attention but very important it does not

My single biggest problem is trying to not just narrow my color selection of soft plastics down to only 4 or 5 base colors but only 2 or 3 within the base color for example in my lakes Watermelon colors are very very effective but just plane Watermelon is not as effective as Watermelon red sparkle flake and if very bright out Watermelon red sparkle flake with a pearl belly is best but on mostly cloudy days Watermelon candy works better than any other Watermelon color variants and if its a post frontal I almost always end up going through a prety diverse color spectrum before I establish a color the bass want usually I start with Watermelon red flake then try blk sparkle blue sparkle flake then junebug then Okeechobee craw then Tilapia if post frontal conditions I rarely get lucky and the bass like one of the first 3 colors I try. I have heard MANY fisherman 10x more accomplished than I say you only need three basic soft plastic colors of Watermelon greenpumpkin and black/blue and I wish that were the case in my lakes but it just isn't Im sure its due to my lakes see immense fishing pressure but thankfully based on my observations 8/10 guys I see fishing aren't even minimally successful once the weeds take over the lakes by May 7th But oddly I have only needed three different colors of Flukes and one color variant to enjoy utterly amazing success White Ice Ghost shad Watermelon red flake or Watermelon red flake pearl Rigged weedles have enjoyed many many times where I caught 8-20 bass in under 5 hours. Now that Im using a brand of Speedworms that float very well are going to try to see if those in three different colors can be as successful as all other worms I use Hoping a floating speedworm that only the head stays on the bottom and the rest of the worm sticks essentially straight up can fill all the rolls of my other non floating soft plastics worked slowly on or just above the bottom

This explains perfectly why when I fish the lazy small rivers here I don't get the same results from pad fields along the edges as on the lakes and ponds I am usually on. I have been finding fish along channel edges but keep going back to old habits. I am def adding this change of focus to the play book.

The killer color for me as a stick bait is the Gary yoto PB&J.

If anyone wants to know more about bass behavior, what they can see, hear, smell, etc then I highly recommend the book "Knowing Bass". It's out of print so expect to fork over some coin for it.

I know that you are a Strike King guy, but my favorite soft plastic is by a company called @Grandebass they have a Balistic Bluegill color in the Airtail wiggler that just simply wins tournaments

Feakin A Steve, So now I am seeing rigs that are not commonly used around here a lot on other channels, So I stop the vids, turn them off and come here to get your take on them w/ the underwater views of what's going on.

Greetings from Brazil! My favorite stick bait color is the chartreuse Pepper! Nobody talks about that color here in Brazil is by far my favorite.

In the Tennessee River my brother , using blue tinted line while I was using clear line, he was catching 0 fish and I was catching many fish. This was in morning. At lunch he changed to clear line. In afternoon he out fished me.,🎣🥴

just bought a 16ft boat. gonna go to a big empty parking lot and practice for a while..hahaha

My confidence colors in sticknbaits are #1 kalin baby bass #2 junebug

I have so many favorites. So far this year, I'm landing bass throwing a Yamamoto Senko, color 》Midnight. Also, ZOOM Ultra Vibe Craw, color 》New Penny.

Hoping to give back a lil here on the channel. FWIW the Z shimmies WAY more than the Z-Too does on a slack line drop. Doubling the weight on the tail really restricts the Z-Too.

My go to soft plastics are Zoom fluke (Ham Bone) in both the 4” & 5” Sizes Berkley pit boss (Perfection) Bio baits Senko or Yamamoto Senko In a bone color or cream (it’s an off white matte color Or bubblegum. Zoom speed craw in bubblegum, black, green pumpkin magic or Merthiolate Zoom horny toad in black, Ham bone or bubblegum Big bite baits makes awsome swimming worms My favorite color in any of their products is (Sunfish)

Picking the right soft plastics can really have a huge impact on my fishing day. I really like a soft plastic jerkbait like a fluke or Caffeine Shad. Weightless or on a hover rig, they are a big confidence bait for me.

So what frequency (HZ) were each of the baits

I love the Ela-z-tech plastic! The baits are super durable and last forever

I was throwing a beat-up chartreuse salt infused salamander weightless, so I tore off the head and removed its half eaten legs. Then I had a bluegill tear off most of its tail, almost like a thumper tail. The thing was amazing. Depending on how you twitched the tip it would walk like a spook only about a ft deep though, it would dart like a fluke. It would go in a circle like a bent up fluke but it had so many different movements that looked better to me than any of my store bought baits. Has anyone else had something like that happen while fishing?

Everything you said was correct 👍

ok I tried something with the existing blade.... I took a tiny brush and painted both sides carefully with black rubber paint and from what i can hear...what a difference more of a thump than a click

Stick bait, speedworm, craw, boot tail swimbait, curly tail worm. I'm in FL, so Junebug and black & blue are staples.

comment

My favorite color for soft plastics other than a fluke would be watermelon red flake but in a fluke I like white

Thanks

Who let you look in my tackle bag? 😂😂😂 Been swimming a 4" ring worm on a Slider head for years...as far as "sticks", holding the rod horizontal, they can be used as a subtle"jerk bait" at literally any depth .. . It takes some patience to let them sink to the depth ya' want but well worth the time...thanks for your informative, easily understood approach...my grandson, 11 years old, just loves your channel. Tight lines, God bless.

The green stick bait

Finger tap, or line slap your finger; why didn't I ever think of that! I love those Rage swimming worms too. They look pretty tasty on the sink with a slow wagging tail. I was rigging them Neko with the hook weighted close to center...maybe try Waco like your buddy LB.

june bug or black and blue on almost all my plastic

When you said swimming worm i started to smile . Use to use a 6in mister twister worm . Way before there were speed worms and flukes .

I truly believe a wacky worm is a injured or dying bait to a bass It’s an easy to catch bait , that a bass doesn’t have to burn much energy to catch . It’s a lure that dominates since its creation, and bass never seem to get tired of eating . It’s a very slow technique that requires more patience than most can handle , but can payoff Huge , to the bank angler or the highest level tournament angler a Like .

I know, we should avoid brand naming but I just have to mention that Relax curly tails are absolute pike and walleye magnets. I love rigging them on weightless or lightly weighted weedless hook and drag them through and over lillypads for pike on a hot day and for walleye any jig up to 1/2oz works great depending on depth you are trying to get to and how fast you're trying to get there.

Seem like once any fish's predatory instinct or feeding response is triggered, they don't seem to pay attention to any line type. Take nylon trotline for catfish into consideration. I believe it's all about bait or lure presentation.

Those are great picks Steve. I would add in a craw style creature bait like a Berkley chigger Craw. I have done really well on those in either a green pumpkin, or watermelon. Definitely one of my confidence baits.

Favorite plastic for the past 3 years for me - June bug Trick Worm.

Great tips! Thanks again Steve!!

Been a fan of the Strike King 3x/Elaztec forever. Unbeatable action vs plastisol especially on the Z or ZToo, the white (pearl?) is an absolute slyaer on clear water smallies on rock wall drop offs here. I am going to have to give the tube some water time this season. I am def one of the overlookers you mention. TY yet again.

As usual, you’ve got a video that exactly fits my need. Love the content Steve. You’re awesome!

I’d like to see how far away someone talking normally can be heard from about a 3’ depth. I’d also like to see if a huge school of shad actually makes an audible sound like the Hydrowave Shad school sounds like. I’m wondering if those sounds on the Hydrowave are actually real recordings or a man made scam.

Can you please (!) do a video on the swimming worm? I can’t seem to catch anything on them… while I get bit on almost everything else.

Green, RedShad, Black in stained to clear water white in Muddy Water on the worm color Steve. Thank you and God Bless you and your family.
