2011 season some new product our new bait for 2011 is the double dog right here the reason. We called the double dog it's got the two tails on the back right there then of course. These crazy arms on the side neat thing about the double dog is that's different. Than the regular Bulldog is. It adds a lot more vibration in the water has a different kind of water displacement in. This bait actually rides quite high in the water column so. You know rip it over the rock piles. And the weed beds and stuff. You right over the top so. What a bait you know. Imean musky fishing is called come so far in the last. You know in the last ten years with. These new plastics and it's amazing. You know that guys are consistently growing these baits. And you're catching tons of big muskies on these new big soft plastics great. You know on the prototypes alone. Imean there was this fall just unbelievable amounts a big fish going on.

This thing the biggest one being a 56. And a quarter inch I mean it's insane. You know that well thanks for having us grad. Ipre bit big they were an awesome product.

It out wounded in this easy-to-use twitch stick from storm is a brilliant lure for anglers of. All levels of twitch baiting experience on a steady retrieve the twitch stick produces a strong rolling and wobbling response. While the internal rattle sends out a beacon of noise in every direction. That no fish can resist additionally it's super responsive design creates sufficient action from the first crank of your reel allowing an ultra slow presentation. And erratic twitching maneuvers. You feel so inclined. Some days you will need to be. This fancy but it's nice to know the option is there. If required pro tip the suspending nature of storm's twitch state allows. It to be used in an inconsistent manner throughout the retrieve without losing its position within the water column try a stop. And go retrieve with a. Few rod twitches combine the twitch stick seductive colors. And scale pattern you have a perfect representation of an injured bait fish reflecting light in a distressed manner you.

Everybody Brian skate from Cass tackle here with my friend Dan butcher from the outdoor trade show channel. We are going to talk about chaos tackle. And the plastic rubber baits offered like no you're gonna Todd you're gonna talk about. Ifinally got Brian here. And finally get a chance to. This is I've been looking forward to. This for a long time, so I'm gonna let Brian take take. It away okays well so for muskie fishing I mean. One of the top baits anymore is a soft plastic bait. Or a rubber bait we just so happen to have a retail version of. That called the Medusa. It comes in six different sizes the monster which is approximately a pound husky regular mid mini. And then all the way down to. This little micro Medusa which actually could be a heck of a bass out west mm-hmm. We catch a lot of bass on. Even in the Midwest here yeah so the Medusa's is kind of a swim bait pole bait. Iguess the most common. You know most kind of question. Iget is you fish them. And really there's there's no wrong way to fish. One of these baits you can cast. And do a straight retrieve. I mean there's enough going on back here. That just with the tails kicking around there's there's plenty going on to get a fish's attention the. Most typical type of retrieve is sort of pull.

And then pause so you got pull on the bait. And then she comes up yep. That comes up goes down that's. Where I've had my best luck with the Medusa yeah. Where the fish is gonna hit on. One of the real important things. You have to remember. When you're fishing. That way is you give it. That pull and you're reeling back down. You want to keep a tight line yeah. When you're really feeling yeah you're gonna feel. That fish pop and then. You set the screws to them so that's the. Most common way probably. One of the least common ways of fishing one. We actually have on catch deny about doors. We have a video that shows. You can jig you can just do a straight.

And a straight vertical jig. We my friend need caught three fish in a matter of hours I'm fish. That we're following in on other baits which. We wouldn't you see them. We just see them on the locator yeah no they're following in low. And slow and without the locator. You would never know there was a fish there so. He would just take his mid Medusa. He was casting and started jigging next to the boat. And boom caught three fish like. That so that's that's a very underutilized way to fish them. What you can use them. That way but I had heard. They were used is on. They try to think it's a Detroit River Dam the backs up. Where the head waters of Lake st Clair. And then the springtime those guys in 25 30 feet of water.

What they'll do is they'll use Medusa's. And down till they can get. It down at 2530 feet no system to just dig them. This is dig'em that guys use. These ins is the speedwell. And Castle Rock dam is. They get them a net in. That heavy that fast water death they'll throw the Medusa's in. That fast water these muskies are just sitting in. That seam you know. Iknow guys that sit there at speedwell dam. And they'll just sit on. That scene with the Medusa's. And they'll catch fish after fish. That they're catching a lot of fish yeah. You know council rock. And people all are prior to the best places in central Wisconsin well to. All our communities. And so speaking of those two spots specifically we'll move on to the next bait. And it's called a Pegasus. Now compared to the Medusa. It doesn't look like much. You know you do with. Some new so you got tails. Everything going on so. What it first came out. Everybody mistook it as a jigging bait right.

And true you can use. It to jig it works just fine jigging but that's about on the list of things. We like to do with it it's its towards the bottom okay. This was made to be a open water deep water casting bait okay. You can cast it out gives it a couple second combat rolling bait. They troll absolutely hit wrong okay yeah but. You can get even work those 15 20 feet down. You know not a straight retrieve. It works like a big rattle trap. It has a little pregnant but. It works like a rabbit trap. What a lot of guys do especially a little castle rock impede well is. They cast these right up into the rocks. They just all right bounce around on the rocks. They crush fish on this bait casting it rights question. Ihave trick to being the plastic. How does it work with sense does. Ithink your sense would work a lot better in your plastics.

Than with your heart never really played around with. That much but it Center big deals today at UPS. They were huge just everybody's into the sense. You know your plastics. Ithink would absorb. You know they would. You know yeah it's it changes don't worry next year it'll. All be different but yeah so. This bait is a casting bait first. And foremost secondly it's a trolling bait. And lastly it's probably a jigging made. It does every single. One of those just fine yeah so. What we did is based on. This profile and it's our third style bait. This is the Poseidon yeah so. This catches fish it certainly does ss again. Iknow a casting bait. And guys certainly were trolling it v token from today's angler up on Green Bay he's caught quite a.

And I'm sure you check out his videos early on yeah. This year he's got a nice 52 inch. Ibelieve one of his clients caught. You actually know Poseidon yeah so the beside. And 10 it's a 10-inch swim bait lots of. You know it rolls side to side it's got a good kick to. This has been catching a lot of fish lately yeah well. We don't want to go too long. Because people don't like to watch right here. What I want to tell people is. This go to today's angler okay. You cele going to catch the vibe outdoors. You can watch Brian catches a lot of fish try to. You catch like big we're going to catch the vibe outdoors go to today's angler. And then I always ask people to send. Me videos to the outdoor trade show channel. And like share and subscribe. Everybody interact with our different are different avenues of trying to share information so there's a lot of good fishermen in. This area and a lot of as making an awesome bait. You know Lee makes top water bait so. We make top bar bass part of the party chaos tackle so.

You guys got a lot of. It we're gonna do a lot. More of these you guys get a lot of stuff so thank. Everybody thank you thanks Dan.

The Devil's horse has been around for many years. And has withstood little changes from. It was first brought out. Something isn't broken don't fix. It generations of anglers have enjoyed. This classic top water lure. And a cult-like following in the southern parts of the United States has a rose due to its unique action the lure has a slow top water slide across the surface as aided by the prop on the nose. And tail we have two different sizes. We have the 3/8 and 1/2 they're. Both pretty easy to throw. They cache really great but. You need to have the right equipment to fishermen. You need about a 6 foot to 7 foot medium action pole fast action with a soft tip but so. Whenever you get a bite. You know you can set the hook. And it's not gonna pull the treble hooks right out of the fish's mouth. Ilike to fish this thing with a fast reel 7 to 8 to 1 gear ratio. Because your popping is slow. You get a bite it's its pretty ferocious they're gonna take. It they're gonna dive. You need to really pick up. Some line you know to set the hook. And get them in the boat line is probably the. Most important part with. This thing because of the spinners on the top. And bottom I recommend throwing it on a heavy mono filament line 17 to 30 pound test. This lures what's known as a target casting lure you're typically fishing this thing around would cover lily pads standing timber grass things. You really can get snagged up in. You can break off mono filament is great. It floats and it's great.

It doesn't get hung up around. These spinners I recommend braided line as well. If you're fishing really heavy cover but braid has a tendency to get hooked around the spinners on the top. And bottom it can cause. You a lot of problems right. Now we're in Florida which is. Where the devil's horse is probably the. Most famed at let's talk about. You work now you're gonna fish. It just like you would a traditional popper just cast. It out let the Rings dissipate from. It pleases that popping it with slight twitches of the rod tip. You let the fish dictate. They want it sometimes cold front conditions. They just want it barely pops just to make a little bit of disturbance sometimes they're really aggressive work. You know really get. That bait moving and creating. That bubble trail there's. One callosum it's made out of wood which gives. It a completely flat lay on the surface unlike. Any other plastic top water prop baits.

It comes in two wave variations but they're. Both in the same length. This gives the lure two different distinct body shapes. That apply to different situations. Most people believe the smaller size appeals to smaller fish. And the bigger vice versa but actually the larger size is better for windier conditions. When there's more chop on the surface. Because it's more buoyant. And since the top the water with a higher posture. You can work more effectively during rough conditions the color patterns are standards. That have been in the Smith wick catalog for many years. This is simply they consistently catch fish.

With top water focus. And precision design the ex rap drop represents the first ex rap in the productive prop 8 categories with a long history. These baits have proven their effectiveness year after year by simply adding ex rap attitude. We have taken a really good bait. And made it great primary went fishing top water around grass lines. And shallow cover a. Few twitches of your rod tip. And the ex rap prop jumps into action counter-rotating stainless steel blades churn spit. And gurgle grabbing the attention of. Any fish in the vicinity. Whether fishing with a snapping pod straight. Or shredding retrieve the blades ensure a straight track back to the boat ex style finishes with internal laser etched scales in holographic oil offer an impressive flash pmc black nickel hooks. All around with a flash feathered teaser tail dangling off the rear internal long cast mechanism ensures. You can cast into the. Most timid of fish without your boat spooking them the ex rap prop from Rapala.

This is the repeller skitter pop it's. One of the repeller top water series which means it's a surface lure the way it's designed it's got a high Boise balsa body. And it's got a plastic cup face which is going to impart. That popping action. Where the name comes from got the VMC hooks with the crystal feather on. And a very reflective paint finish on. Another lure that's really good. If it's going to be sitting stationary it's going to attract a lot of light. When it's on the move it's going to get a lot of light flashing off. It the way to work these guys is as the name suggests it's a popper so. You want to cast, and we're just going to do what's called pop. And stop where I'm going to draw the rod tip down get a big push of water out of the front. And then I'm going to pause never be afraid to pause with a surface law I'm gonna pop. It again pauses pop pause. You can leave those pauses for a variety of different lengths sometimes really curious fish will come up. And look at they might sit. And look for some time before. They like said smash. It pop pause it's a really good technique very easy to use. You don't have to have. Any high level of skill to get the. Most out of this lure but. You can also adopt another technique.

If the fish are a little bit slow. That they're looking at the lure, but they're not actually hitting it. You can try a different retrieve. Where we're just going to up the tempo a little bit. And I'm just going to do what's called a little pop pop. And I'm just bouncing the rod tip just getting the line to go tight. And I'm creating a series of pulsing wakes as I'm bringing the lure in that's creating a beautiful little v ad in the water there. All the bubbles out the front it's making a lot of noise under the water the fish are going to be interested in. It that's a great way to get fish. That are just looking at your lure to turn. And take it that's the repeller Skeeter pop. Or an excellent service law very easy to use. You throw those out crank them back in you're going to catch a fish.

Aquatic edges play an all-important role in attracting fish. Most anglers focus their efforts along a timber line a weed edge a current break. Or a drop-off these are places. Where fish can hunt prey. And easily retreat to safety structure. They call it interestingly. Few anglers consider. One of the most expansive edges. That exists in anybody of water is the surface itself. This top water zone is a distinct barrier utilized by. Many predatory species to corral. And trap bait fish when feeding ooh there's a whopper look at. That boy Oh wow there's a big. One whoo look at that beautiful fish look at. That early in the morning okay there. We go look at you last besides the first guy in the morning what a beautiful lass look at. You just smoke that skitter prop ooh really got. It done huh it players out well look at. That we'll get this boy back in the water like looking tap water means that's for sure. Ican tell one thing Rapala does a lot of homework on a lor prior to releasing it to the angling public the Skinner props balsa body has a wounded dive in roll action. It can really trigger. Some explosive strikes the blade has a two-fold effect on the lure. It creates a large bubble train as the bait is pulled forward in the water two. It also slows the rise of the lure. And puts out flash and vibration which. Ibelieve can call fish out of deeper water. Even heavy cover situations the short shank wide gap hooks ensure solid hookups every time.

One thing this is a great top water lure really there's a number of different retrieves. You could do with the Skinner prop right. Now I'm making a lot of rips close together then letting the bait sit aggressive rips letting the bait sit I'm trying to call. These fish out of ten foot of water right. These fish are positioned maybe 10 15 foot down close to a deep. You actually suspend. It out past the deepest edge of the weeds but. What you're trying to do is to literally call. That fish up in depending on their activity level. How long you have to let. That bait sit you have to experiment throughout the course of the day early in the morning the fish might be really aggressive. Ican almost keep that bait moving in very short stops in the fish'll hit the bait at other times as the Sun gets higher.

Imay have to let that bait sit for a longer period of time to be able to call. That fish up out of deeper water there's. One oh good one look at. That guy whoas a better sized. We go tell one thing these guys are really liking this proper today. You know right I happen to be fishing for over weeds but there's a wide variety of different habitats. Where a skidder prop like. This is very effective prop beads can be fished over. Or around a wide range of surface. And submerged objects in the shallows watch for isolated trees lily pads. Or man-made structures like docks. Or wood pylons moving deeper look for expansive flats of rock weed. Or wood top water lures are great baits to quickly comb expansive areas looking for active biters skidder props really shine. When fish are suspended.

And preying on open water forage there are also highly effective in rivers in are the best top water bait to guests choppy wind conditions oh well there. You go whoo look at. That whoo he's a leaper come on look at the size of. That guy really had a good attitude about him come here buddy OOP get the trusty players out. One thing that's uh important. When your top water fishing for just about. Any fish species is the rod. You fish we'll get this guy back in the water dome hair beautiful green. You can see the old lime colored skitter prop is getting a little bit of a workout today's got a real nice sandpaper back. One important aspect of top water fishing is the tackle. You use realistically a bait casting rod is the way to go schooled with 17 to 20 pound test line. This is happens to be Rapala tough line I'm fishing with a Signature Series rod medium action six.

And a half foot in length. It just fishes debate very efficiently. You hook a big fish in heavy cover. You have enough torque to really give it a little bit of leverage with. That bait casting reel inline heavy reclining to be able to pull the fish out of cover it's just a good combination to fish a top water lure oh there's a good. You a sort of slurper ye boys are on. It aren't they come here buddy right. We got about as perfect conditions for fishing top water as. You could imagine a little bit of cloud cover it's about eighty degrees out it's been real stable for the last number of days the water temperature is about as high as it'll get throughout the course in the entire season beautiful bass okay get her back in the water come on here. You know you might ask does color make a difference. When your top water fishing realistically I've seen times. It seems like all the difference in the world at other times. It didn't seem so much the color to make the difference but the presentation of the bait being on the surface.

And the prop spinning the fish are really tuned into feeding on the surface like. They are right now during midsummer so the thing is. You can experiment I think a big thing about color is confidence based on success so. Icarry a wide variety of different colors. You can see right here. This is actually the bottom. What this is suspended bait fish. And bass I'm actually trying to call. These fish out of 10 12 foot of water to come to the surface that's why with. That Skinner prop you got to make a lot of noise let the bait sit there for a. While to literally call those fish up out of. That depth a lot of people would have the tendency to be fishing jigs. Or subsurface baits they're literally fishing below the real active fish there. They are right there. Most anglers realize. That top water fishing is a superb shallow water presentation right. Now I'm trying to call fish. That are suspended eight to twelve feet below the surface a lot of anglers don't know.

You could call a fish to the surface from. That depth in fact it might be the. Most effective and efficient way to target. These fish you have to realize. These fish by looking up at the surface have a very large strike window beyond. They commit to attack a bait from. This depth the more likely. They are to savagely smash. It throughout the summer. Once a lot of times. These blue gills this bait is suspended way out off. These deep weed edges like. This in the people are literally fishing through the fish. And not catching them a lot of times. What they prefer is. This top water presentation. Ijust had one come up my bed oh look at.

You see him just come up. And crunch on it look at. That holy look at that guy. That fish who came out of probably dead fish was actually probably ten feet down over 18 foot of water. And that's I called. That fish out of a lot of people think. That top water are primarily a shallow water bait like a skitter prop but. Ican guarantee one thing they work in a lot. More conditions than a lot of people would give them credit for I can guarantee. That nominally effective from real big bass look at.

Alright I'm fishing today with resellers Skinner prop. This is a top water lure. What makes it different from. Most other top water lures it's got. This little stainless steel propeller at the back just like the propeller on a boat. That does is your cast. It out the water movement makes. It turns around you get a couple of different retrieve options with. This particular lure it's very handy lure for a whole range of different species the main retrieve is probably the. Most subtle top water retrieve. You can make it's just a very slow retrieve straight-lined the props going around creating a wake you're getting a subtle body roll it's a very nice retrieve calm water conditions shallow water but. You want to spice things up a bit. You can do slightly. More aggressive retrieve. You do a few rips the propeller spins faster throws up a spray. Or a splatter of water the tracks will attract fish from a great a greater distance it's a really cool thing when you're fishing for aggressive fish. You need to get fish tuned into. What you're doing resellers killer prop a really cool copper water lure.

Hey guys I want to juice. You to a brilliant new lure from savage here. This is 3d hybrid pike 3d hybrid pike is a hardware with a detachable. And changeable soft T detail. And under the hybrid Pike here is a great new release system so. Once the fish are hooked. They will actually the lure will actually release. And come away from the pike the stinger here is attached to a built-in swivel. That can actually turn so. When the pike is trying or rolling trying to throw the hooks. They cannot that swivel will just rotate the front hook here. You can choose to leave on. It off the swivel and the stinger clips perfectly up in. This little slot under the belly here as. You can see the 3d hybrid Pike comes with two different tails the paddle tail have. This great rocking swimming action. You can just unscrew. You can see the hot body here has a corkscrew. And then you can just change. That into the crow tail the curl tail may not look natural for the pike but. It actually leaves a very interesting swimming pattern the curl tail is designed so. That the front body doesn't rock. It just goes straight so. You ever watch the pike. It actually has the body quite straight on the swim. This is exactly what will happen with. This curl Taiwan and the curl tail here leaves.

This really provoking an enticing movement pattern the water. And the pipe they just love. It so combine the super realistic features on the 3d hybrid pike with. This great movement pattern. And the super release system here. You have one incredible lure. It comes in two sizes the baby version here is a 17 centimeter. And the big one is a with the paddle tail it's a full 25 centimeters but actually with the coral tail as. You can see comes pretty close to a 40 centimeter lure so 3d hybrid pike from savage here awesome.

This is the x-ray Magnum from a power. If you're after a really strong. And durable blue water. Or saltwater trolling law. You can't go past and I'll tell. You why it features. That internal holographic foil. That enables a strong solid plastic coating and plastic bib on top of. That it's got the fully wire through construction from bib to tail which is really great for improving the Luas strength as well as. That you've got the VMC 3x perma-seal hooks. And 3x split rings these lures are designed to be fished at certain depths for example I've got the X wrapped Magnum 30 in my hands which in the right circumstances an environment can be fished up to depths to 30 feet there are the models in the range. And depending on which. That determines how deep the Louisville go the X rayed Magnum comes ready to swim straight out of the box at up to 13 knots. If you're a big game enthusiast. Or a saltwater fisherman we've got to get your hands on.
