- The Deps Cover Scat is a newer lure that is reminds me a lot of a Yamamoto Senko. They are both do nothing lures that catch a lot of bass!

Soft plastic lures are some of the most consistent lures to go out and catch bass. I have heard a lot of hype over the last year about this lure and today I decided to test it out myself.
BassFishingHQ is dedicated to teaching people how to catch more and bigger bass. I will go over different bass fishing tips & techniques that will put more fish in the boat or on the shore. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned tournament angler, my goal is to help you catch more bass.

It obviously catches fish .. but if you threw it in the pool I bet everyone would scrambling!

Cause it looks like your comment? 💩🥱
😂
You betting!

i live in japan and as soon the scat are availabe in shops they get smoked in a day. they works very well! glad i could stock on them at least for a while.
we cant get them in the states either
I've had these in my arsenal for a hot minute now but didn't even think twice to fish it some of of ways you did. Great video man keep these commin
I was fishing a large pond that has several big rocks under water that tend to snag my line. So I casted a weightless senko a little too close to those rocks (just past them). Then retrieved the senko rapidly so it would be on top water and not get snagged as it returned to me past the rocks. A big old bass attacked it like I was fishing a frog!
Can we just admire the skipping skills
Gotta love how we obsess over matching the hatch and buy HD patterned lures…
And then bass eat this thing.
Hahahaha that’s so true
I had that realization with brush hogs
they eat it cause its actually very buggy, and suggestive of many aquatic organisms
Fish are lazy man, if it's hungry and you can put an easy meal in it's face that gets it's attention it'll eat it.
Bass will eat anything. All the different lures and colors catch fisherman.
Man, glad I'm not the only one wrapping lines from one rod around another rod. Had a total scat show on my kayak yesterday morning. Recently found your channel. Now is my favorite. Thanks for keeping it real there man. Especially love you conceptual vids. I now know the difference between coontail and milfoil. Which means alot to me for some reason. Your video on emergent grass was the only one I could find with such good description.
I've done it more this year than any other, started ultralight fishing, that line gets me buggered
I lost a $35 swimbait once when I got the braid from one rod wrapped around the mono leader on the swimbait. Apparently, the braid just sawed right through 20# Big Game. I watched helplessly as $35 sunk slowly into 20' of water.
I was a sceptic at first but after finally putting one on for the first time after I could not get bit on other plastics that should have worked, it was like flipping a switch and the bite turned on like nearly every cast in the area I was trial testing it. Since then it has landed so many bass both LM and SM in the States as well as Mexico Bass lakes. We now stock every size and color available and for good reason, they flat out work!
Best channel on youtube 💯🎣💯👊
I was waiting for you to bite the end off, but you just couldn’t do it on something that looks like that, especially a brown one. Loved it when the line wrapped around, at least I’m not the only one that does that.
Cool review, Tyler! I actually caught a 5.8 pound largemouth from shore on the 3.5 cover scat. She was on a bed and full of eggs, which surprised me because it was mid May and I thought all the fish in the pond were done spawning. I’m in Eastern North Carolina and the spawn was pretty much over by the end of March in the small ponds I fish.
For those of you wondering about ideal hook size:
I use a 3/0 Owner Haymaker EWG for the 3.5" Cover Scat. Great hookup ratio, less rigidity in the bulbous section of the bait which results in more action, and the bait's plastic doesn't tear as much. There is no need to run anything bigger, and running the smallest hook possible reduces the chances of gut hooking the fish - believe me when I say they swallow this thing. The Deps Japan website recommends 1/0-2/0 for the smallest one, 3/0 for the medium one, and 6/0/-7/0 for the big one.
The Fish Arrow Heavy Poop is a similar JDM lure but their plastic is significantly more dense and not in a salty way, so even though the 3.6" poop is roughly the same size as the 3.5" Deps, a 5/0-6/0 hook works best.
I find that if you're going for a slower fall/more subtle presentation/top water versatility, go with the Deps.
If you want a more streamlined fall/more aggressive fleeing crawfish action on the bottom, go with the heavy poop.
He's right about the hard hookset. I use a 7'3" MH Fast rod with braid to a fluoro leader. Reel up all my slack and wack em.
nice video. i hopped on youtube for a couple minutes and i watched you get 100k subs! congrats!! you are the best bass fishing youtuber and you 100 percent deserve it.
Thanks so much. I appreciate that!
Different is always the key! I actually use YT a lot to find older trends. For example if I see that coming into the 23 season some particular bait or a handful are being hard promoted and everyone is like "this is the one!" I cross those off (mostly) and start jumping back in time to see what was hot in 2018-2020 and I throw that. Show them something different! If YT loves x, then a ton of people will be buying and throwing X and I want to show the fish C. Tight lines!
Congrats on 100k subs Ty! Well deserved my man!
Nice report. Going to have to try that new looking adult store lure. Your reviews are great to watch. Thanks boss
Experienced angler here (like most viewers I assume).
This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and thoroughly enjoyed it all the way through. Quality beginning to end. Subbed. 👍
Been using the Scat for about a year , I told my brother this bait was going to replace the senko ... I love the smallest size for clear water . Only downfall is they are very soft and tear easy, expensive bait to blow through...
Saw this video a while ago. Bought them a while ago. Finally used one today & I got a nice bass & a whole lotta bites. Easily out performed everything else I threw out today including every other Texas rug soft plastics I threw out
I used a 1/4 oz tungsten with a 2/0 ewg
I’m going to try a 1/0 ewg tomorrow
Caught a 6 lbs Snakehead with it here in Korea. I casted over lily pads and the snakehead smashed it. Great video brother!
Use a larger screw in spring on the hook . it will lock that big portion of the lure on .
There are so many good jdm stick baits. One cheaper stick bait that is similar to the cover scat is the wiggle stick by duo realis
Try a non EWG 5/0 worm hook with the 3.5” bait and 20# Flourocarbon. That is the system.
best color?
My biggest problem with these and the smaller wones like it is they tear apart very easily as you said, so they don't last long. That is too much waste for the cost of these things!
The second I saw that bait my first thought was it'd be a skipping machine and the fact you can walk it?
Testing Facility.....lure called "Real Majiç" just like it in th1980's made by Coffee out Of Florida it's a beast and it catches good ones..it's a grass bait. Great Video as always

You know scat is another word for 💩 but it obviously produces and I could see the baby one on a ned rig working well. Love the vids and this channel
Yup I can definitely see the small one working as a Ned
Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the Ned though? Those scats are heavy chucks of plastic that sinks pretty fast by itself. Maybe in deeper water I suppose or if the bass want a faster falling ned?
These work best with a BB size SplitShot at the tip/Texas Rig style. You will thank me later. I caught my P.B. 11lbs 2oz at the Delta in Cali💪
It looks a lot like a phantom tackle fish stick which came out shortly after the sluggo came out and it got a lot of bites but it was hard to hook them cuz of the plastic was tougher than it probably should have been.
your skips look effortlessly!
You should check out the D.O.A DT7. Very similar to this but it doesn’t sink
It’s single hook you can walk it or wake it and the plastic is like a frog lure very durable
Those are very similar to a local Dallas Tx. bait made back in 1992. The Phantom PHish Stick. I still have some and they were a great bait. Looks like a soft zera spook.
We've been using these and the Heavy poop baits this year. My wife catches lots of shorts on the 2.5 purple. I tried the 3.5 Christmas or dark with blue flakes and it doesnt do as well. We have done much better with our berkley Chigger Craws.
It has replaced the senko for me. I'm to impatient these day for a slow sink line watching thing, and the way I fish, and I have found these as a compromise for me, when the senko bite is on. They sink faster and are like you said more versatile. It's still a "situation" bait like the senko but a lot more versatile. And they bite it. We like the 4 in best on clearlake but have found the medium size works better on the deeper Clearwater nor cal lakes. Cheers good review
Congrats on the 100k subs! Great channel, you’ve worked hard and deserve it!
Thanks Randy! I appreciate it
Tackle warehouse is out of 3.5 with no back orders,gonna try the 2.5
thanks Tyler! Yep i saw the price on those few months back and thought ‘no thanks!’. Of course that’s before i saw you fish it and learned more about it. 🙂 I may have to try them now. haha
Definitely grabbing done of these ASAP!!! Thanks for the info and tips
Just subscribed. As a new angler, hopefully your content isn't too advanced.
Could you list top 5 lures/baits best for fishing in lakes or rivers? Your top 5 lures/baits, link where to buy please. Thanks a lot!
thanks for posting this. they're already out of stock on almost every color. is this bait sold anywhere other than their website?
Those white smaller ones would be great for bed fishing
Thanks for the tip on this new plastic. Who carries them? I would like to get some of the different sizes.
Do you realise adding salt by the manufacturer isn't because it's an attractant.
It actually deteriorates the lure quicker so you buy more often.
Also makes the plastic tear easier too.
It's a weedless Zara spook mixed with a soft plastic jerk bait Glide
"Is the a bass, no that's grass." That's me. My life.
We used to use a “Fish Stick.” Fishing grass . Similar shape. Have not seen it for years.
Thanks Tyler. The shape of the bait being weight back so prevalent I think it's made to sink away from you. Could be interesting .
If it’s anything like the Senko then it will tear very easily and you will go through way too many for the money.
I’m sure there are alternative lures to this one too just like there are for the Senko.
Thanks for the info and video.
Thanks for letting us see what it looked like underwater
Congratulations on 100k!!!
Thanks so much!!
I am such a worm fanatic,,,ordering one now. Thank you as always for the great tips. Tight lines...
Dude, you're an amazing fisherman. I love watching you.
I'm having so much trouble bank fishing for large mouth bass. I'm using a 5 senko wacky rigged and only caught 2 bass in 60 hours of time.
I'm hoping it's bc I'm fishing areas where fish are too pressured. Have you experienced this?
I have the same problem at some of my local lakes. I honestly think it's just because they're heavy pressured areas and I know there are some very nice bass in those lakes. I think trying some finesse fishing might help.
@@austincasner7389 thanks i appreciate it.
I actually just went with a ned rig and a small 3 inch worm with a smaller pole...it worked! I landed 5 large mouth bass ( small ones) but action is action.
Thanks for the tip!
@@Apex7x That's awesome and you're welcome.
I have a few bags of these and haven't tried them yet. Maybe the Owner Beast hook?
Looks like something I need to add to the arsenal! Congrats on 100k Ty 👊🏼 killin it man!
Thanks for the Info👍 so close to 💯.
my ole lady has one of those in her sock drawer but it's pink and like 9" I didn't even know she fished
I love the content on this one bud! I'm definitely going to get some of these
Looks like a great bait for a co-angler. Gotta try it!
That is really cool....thats a lunker killer
These are great for shore fishermen. Especially in pressured areas. You can cast these things a mile. Way out to where fish may hold away from the reach of most fishermen. With the finesse presentation and atypical appearance…they get bit. I’d say you almost cannot fish these things slow enough.
You might have better luck on the screw lock hook if you swap out the screw lock for a larger size. Less likely to tear out.
I'm gonna try it.
Lol. The old “wrap around your rod trick.”
Is a completely different bait i use them alot and i don't see how can compare to a senko i love the 2.5 you can check also heavy poop from fish arrow
I haven't tried the cover scat yet but I've seen it for a while now. Definitely a odd looking bait but I don't doubt that it will get bit. Catching bass on a terds! I use twist lock hooks all the time, I'll use them on flukes, worms, ext. They definitely save on baits
Your skipping ability is not human
Ty, another great. Video Your videos have amazing content and quality. Let me congratulate you on 100K that will happen this week!, It is well deserved!!!
I love Puma socks too
Congrats on 100k!!!
Great yellow!!!!
Great looking bait but I’ll wait for the knock offs to come out at a lower price . I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before other soft plastic companies come out with these
Haha, I had the same thought
Probably gonna be like the Yamamoto senko in that the knockoffs are more durable, but nothing beats the og in my opinion
@@brycerush98 I refuse to pay a Buck a worm for Yamamoto worms . The Yum Dinger catches fish consistently for more than 1/2 the price and you’ll catch more fish per bait ( in my humble opinion ) We fish what we have confidence in . Tight lines
So what size hook do u suggest for the diffrent Lengths of the soft plastic
Congrats on 100k subs
My wife has one of those in her top dresser drawer. Does it take batteries like hers?
Man I don’t know how botany it is but I bet it would make a good punch rig I’d say you could throw that in the jungle and get it in and out no problem
Sure looks different. At least your catching fish. Thank you for sharing 👍
Before the senko there was the sluggo kind of reminds me of a short fat sluggo. I dont think it will replace the senko or stickbait anyway. they are too versatile really and i dont see that being fished wacky rigged as well etc.
That 4" would replaceme asap.. I'll stick with the 3s and minus, play it safe..
No, nothing will ever replace the goat
Need some cover craw vs actual lure
Had no clue my ole lady was enjoyed fishing lololo
Nothing will replace the senko entirely. It's too simple a bait that just works.
I absolutely agree! No replacing the senko but this was a fun bait to mess around with
@@BassFishingHQ I love trying new stuff too. Sometimes all it takes is showing them something different
@@mmancino1982 absolutely! Thanks for watching
Sooo... it's not about how big it is, it's about how you use it? lol
Joking aside, I actually love using these. I'm in MN and these absolutely kill it on Minnetonka and Mille Lacs
Nothing will replace the senko. But I will have to try these. Love the vids bud, keep it up.
The Ika is on par with the senko for me.
What size hook works beat with a screw lock?
Man I wish I could skip baits as good as you can
"I dont like plastics that tear up easily"
Tyler, as someone who has thrown a cover scat all season, you're gonna rip up some plastic, super glue is your friend!
That bait reminds me oh a senco mixed with a Ned rig
Very Similar to the tongue slapper in my opinion. It has been around since 13"
needs some corn kernels for the fish bite to be on
2.5 inch scat weighs 6.6 grams, 3.5 inch weighs 16.5 grams, and 4 inch weighs 26 grams. 7 grams is 1/4 ounce.
Lady and gentlemen -- the Turd Lure!
When all else failed.... pull out the Turd Lure!
dont tell em about the hairy dice. Leave some japanese lures for the rest of us ;)
Looks like it's good one for drinks or you need to move to a new location..
That Japanese tentacle anime is leaking into fishing lures, was just a matter of time.
It's a new version of a tube jig but with a solid body and no tentacles.
Ya my wife has some of these in her top drawer.
Love the odd Japanese bait videos. That thing is the goofiest soft plastic I've ever seen. But if it works that's what matters
What type of fishing gloves do you use? Thanks Tyler.
They are my own brand. They will be out in a few weeks!
@@BassFishingHQ cool thx!
