@slaychild1 if you're referring to the glide bait it's a DS Custom salty shad 8" glide bait. Otherwise I was just using a 1/4 oz hookup bait.

In this video I'm using an Old Town Sportsman 120 PDL, this is my saltwater kayak.

I have fishing pliers with me all the time, the split ring pliers are just more comfortable to use for some reason. 🤞

I had a garmin 93sv with the lvs32 livescope in this video

Sorry man this is just what makes fishing interesting for me personally. TH-cam has an option to not recommend a channel to you anymore, just select that option for my channel and it shouldn't show up in your feed.

then add a stinger above or below the hook

@@zygardiousyt9981 I've caught a bunch of spotties on the rigged version of the 6" magdraft. Have you ever caught one on the actual beast hook and not the stinger? I've fished the 8/0 beast hook and have gotten a bunch of bites but it's almost always tail bites and they've never gotten hooked by the beast hook. I've gotten a bunch hooked when I move down to a 5" spark shad with a 6/0 beast hook .

9/10 times i usually hook up on the stinger

@@marshallhirashima3633 thanks for pointing that out. I'll treat those drinks better going forward. I feel the same way about how the warbaits folks treat their bass.

DS Customs 12" Trout

It's the DS Customs Salty Shad, weighs about 3.5oz. I think it's meant for big calico and yellowtail but I replace the hooks for much thinner wire hooks for spotties to increase hookup. It's probably a bit more than 3.5oz with the original hardware.

It's holding up well so far, gotta wash it real good after using it though, I've already have hooks rust out on it.

@@CaydenMatro regular lip, gets down about 9'

Sup Gary, yeah I'm pretty sure I remember you, I saw you like twice in Basin E during foot patrol. Last time we were talking about kayak fishing too!

@ yes sir that was me keep the videos coming bro, I haven’t fished MDR in a while might have to take a trip back to the docks

The SPRO KGB Chad Shad is really good, at $60 the price might still scare off beginners. Bullshad just released a ABS version of their Trick Shad (so it may be hard to find) which I think goes for around $40, I have the resin version and it's the most stable glide bait I've ever used. Otherwise there's the tried and true River2Sea S-waver which goes for like $20. If you're targeting spotties I don't think they're that picky and any of those would work.

Thank you cheethoe, love watching your videos

@@DominicDoanFishing 😂

I totally forgot I had this video set to release today

@ lmao

Reel is a Shimano SLX XT 151. Rod is custom built by me, but it's a 7'3" Medium Heavy, Fast action rated for 1/4 - 3/4oz

@ thank you

20 is not too light, that's what I use most of the time when spotty fishing from shore unless I'm using my bfs reel.

I never keep Bass, especially Spotties, I want to catch them again when they get bigger and not decimate the population. Also, I've tried Sand Bass and Calico years ago, not a fan.

@@cheethoe Appreciate your reply! Tight lines!!! 😊

Thanks, my only fan 😂

@@cheethoe 😂. You have many fans on of

I typically use a 150 size reel for spotted bay bass fishing. In this video I used a 70 size reel (shimano SLX 70 MGL)

@@cheethoe thanks for the quick response brotha. What 150 size reel do you use for spotties?

@@FranciscoRuiz-wy1el Usually a Shimano SLX XT or DC or Curado

@@cheethoe appreciate the info. What kind of rod do you go for a 7 footer medium heavy?

@@JerryAvila-sc1mn thanks, did you ever figure out the bite off your kayak?

Thanks, felt good to not 🦨

Haha yeah, I had to give you a shout, you helped inspired me to finally make the trip there. Hopefully next time I hit it up the bass will be chasing and feeding.

@@cheethoe oh ya next time you do go I bet they will, maybe invite me next time too 😂

Haha, everyone is asking the same thing. I still use the hobie for freshwater fishing, I'm using this old town PDL 120 for saltwater. Launched out of Redondo and made the long trek to PV.

@@cheethoe Should set up a meetup. Saltwater xi3 anglers only 🤣

Rod I built myself, but it's a 7'2" Medium Heavy, Fast action blank with lots of backbone. The reel is a shimano curado 151HG, great reel, super smooth but the saltwater definitely messes it up. I keep spare bearings at home and service it often.

@@cheethoe would a medium light rod suffice?

@@Anythingandeverything1111 you can use just about any rating rod really, a medium light would only be a problem if you had a heavy hook to drive into the fish or if you're trying to pull them away from structure.

Thanks for the well wishes. The boots I'm using are NRS boundary boots, they are waterproof and amazing, but they are like $120 bucks, which to me is expensive. For reels, I'm probably the worst person to take advice on, I'm using mostly freshwater Shimano SLX or Curado and I'm constantly servicing them at home because they get soo corroded and locked up. I buy bearings in bulk to replace them. Rods I build my own rods these days, but in general I use a 7'2" MH fast action blank with lots of backbone. For lighter baits I use a BFS setup, shimano zodias BFS rod paired with the shimano curado bfs reel with 10lb braid and anywhere from 8 - 15lb flouro leader. For my swimbaits I build my own rod, but it's an 8' Mag Heavy rated for 2-8oz, moderate fast action. And I pair that with a shimano Tranx 301, 65lb braid and 20lb flouro leader.

@@cheethoe Thank you for your reply and boots recommendations! Wishing best to you and your fam!

Thanks man, I hope you've still been fishing! For the TM I just swap back and forth between the two kayaks.

Thanks!

Yeah my old town was my "buddy" kayak I reserved for friends. I decided to start using it for all my saltwater trips.

My Hobie is my freshwater ride, my old town is my saltwater ride. I get my Hobie tagged by the local lakes so I can't use it in between freshwater trips.

@@cheethoe i see. generally speaking, which ride do you like better?

@@honeybadgervoodoooutdoors7305 Yeah they both have their pluses and minuses. I like the Old town because the hull seems more water tight and I can move the seat waaaay back so I have more space up front. But the rudder kind of sucks and there's a major lack of rails and storage areas up front. The transducer install area sucks too. Also for car topping the hull shape makes it super hard to get it on top of my car. Generally I prefer my hobie, everything is way better thought out, lots of storage areas, lots for rails, good rudder, the loader accessory, guardian plate for the transducer.
