Thank you so much Tom for all of your time and dedication to giving us content, I’ve watched your videos before and don’t know why I’m not subbed, just did that! Definitely been binging! Thanks Bud👊🏼
Mega live is horrible compared to livescope. I have the LVS34, there's no comparison. My buddy and I compared to his mega live, side by side, and he just sold his mega and bought livescope. But I think Humminbird is a sponsor. He's gotta do what he's gotta do.
Man, I’ve been trying that search bait for weeks now and not a single bite, trolling or casting. Soon as I switch to a jig and crawler I start catching fish. I don’t get it.
If you could only have one bait to fish I’d take a jig hands down because it catches everything. This kid is paid to say and do what he’s told. Nobody really cares what he says or what he catches. I’ve caught so many walleyes I could care less anymore.
I have some of those search baits, haven’t tried them yet, but where I am, nothing works better than trolling the old snap weights and crank baits, or pulling harnesses, either divers or bottom bouncers. Maybe a nice niche rig or a gimmick 🤷♂️
Lot of folks commenting that this just a Erie Dearie.. same basic design, but this has a bunch of improvements.. tungsten vs lead, added rattle, better spinner, swivel to help limit tangles when casting etc.. I wonder, a year later, are these still out of stock, or was that just from them being new?
Grabbed a couple of these search baits. I really like the presentation but have the hardest time casting it out without the whole thing getting folded over. The line always gets caught up in the spinner on the cast and could only get the lure to present right 20% of the time because of it. Is there some secret to preventing the lure from doubling up on itself when casting?
Fair warning for anyone wanting one of these search baits, I work in the fishing department at a Cabela’s. There are none of these left in any Bass Pro/Cabela’s store, and the online order inventory is almost gone too.
Went to the Scheels in EP and they are all out. They said they ran out the day after your first video on these air the other day lol. I guess I wont be able to use these for my fishing trip that starts on Saturday.
@@xZimm11x I had to drive by one today so I stopped in and they have a massive amount of them. Only problem was when I walked out my tire was flat. Now I'm late to my meeting bc of a fishing lure lol.
I have tried EVERYTHING to catch walleyes. And I mean everything. From catching live alewives and using them several ways to worm harnesses to even this search bait. I just can’t seem to set the hook in one. It’s gotten to the point I’m starting to question myself whether or not I’m actually a fisherman. I’ve got a decent boat with the high dollar electronics, poles, tackle, everything. The ONLY place I can consistently catch walleyes is at Oahe. But if I get on to another body of water, it isn’t happening. The guy next to me will be catching them, and I’ll be doing the same thing he is, and not even a nibble. Then I see videos like this while I’m trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong, and it just pisses me off. I mean, I’m glad to see another guy putting in the work and catching the eyes, but dammit, I am too, sometimes more, and nothing. Jeeze. Then you have the 2 assholes shoving weights down fishes throats to cheat and steal money from honest guys, and it just makes me want to….. Well, you know. I guess I’ll keep watching, maybe I’ll learn something eventually 😅
HI- You have to remember the guys you see in the videos live on the lake 24/7. Then they go back and edit all the video with the fish they caught to make it look like they catch fish on every cast. You don't need a six figure dollar boat and tons of electronics to catch fish. Just put the time in and try to enjoy being out on the water and you will start to catch more fish
I feel your pain so much. I know it’s hard Don’t give up. I have gotten to the point of selling my boat and being done. But I find something to keeping going. Get on blog sites and meet good fishermen get more advice then you’ll find some who would actually meet you on the water. Good luck 👍🏾
Used them on Winnebago against a plain jig head and crawler for several days. Nothing on the searchbait. Several on plain jig and crawler or leach. Idk
Now I have ordered all that I need….Fleet and Farm has them in stock on-line. Shipping is expensive but at least they have stock. Sorry Scheels. Your Welcome.

Im cheap and since these dont exist by me i take northland whistler jigs, cut the hook offn and take my jewelers pliers to bend the remaining shank into a loop where i put a spro swivel and a slow death hook. Same thing and i make 2 dozen of them forvthe price of 1 kalins search bait.
Seeing that mega live footage convinced me not get get a mega-live. If that's what I have to decipher to recognize a fish then it's meaningless to me. Nothing more than random noise.
First they have to be in stock to purchased. Haven't been in stock for the last week and a half at the link provided. Luckily picked some up at the local Cabela's store..
ive never fished a bait i can fish in more situations than this bait..... so yes this channel is advertising baits that are very universal and productive
You are killing me!! Searchbaits are on their way!
Man I love your content! Ohio boy here and I use a lot of your methods slightly modified in the chase for saugeye. Good stuff.
Awesome as always. when will you bring back 'Tom Talks'?
Fish and film everything!!!! 118K love it!
Thank you so much Tom for all of your time and dedication to giving us content, I’ve watched your videos before and don’t know why I’m not subbed, just did that! Definitely been binging! Thanks Bud👊🏼
Tom can you put an arrow on your jigg , for some reason I can't really tell where your jigg is. Thanks
It’s the downfall of Mega live vs Garmin panoptix.
Mega live is horrible compared to livescope. I have the LVS34, there's no comparison. My buddy and I compared to his mega live, side by side, and he just sold his mega and bought livescope. But I think Humminbird is a sponsor. He's gotta do what he's gotta do.
Buy a Garmin.
Man, I’ve been trying that search bait for weeks now and not a single bite, trolling or casting. Soon as I switch to a jig and crawler I start catching fish. I don’t get it.
I'd rather jig em up anyway.
If you could only have one bait to fish I’d take a jig hands down because it catches everything. This kid is paid to say and do what he’s told. Nobody really cares what he says or what he catches. I’ve caught so many walleyes I could care less anymore.

No matter wath you said, I preferred listening to Tom then you cause you sound so boring…..
But yet here you are watching his videos, makes alot of sense
Great vid Tom!

Tom what color of the search bait for clear lakes? Thanks man
Let’s see you do a video in Ft Peck Montana!

Use a leader made of heavier mono. The stiffness will prevent the tangles.
Old crank bait trick. Put a coffee stir stick on leaded then tie on bait. Try it and see if that helps
On limited budget. What colors of the search bait should i get for Buffalo Lake Erie walleye. What weight? Thank you
Also fishing Dunkirk Erie area I’ve fished the 3/8ths and quarter in both firetiger and gold and have been getting them trolling worm and leach
Awsome video like alway. thanks for all the info man.

Thanks Tom👍🏻
What mount do you use for your mega live?
Umpan terbaik untuk menangkap ikan 👍
Tom, can you comment on when and what conditions you'd use the 1/4oz vs the 3/8oz?
1/4 less than 12.
3/8 deeper
Quite a neat bait
What kind of worm are you using
Looked like the berkley gulp 3" killer crawler natural color
Gotta try this on leech!
just fished leech.. it sucked.

Tom, my man. Try out o'keeffe's working hands.
In Canada they're all sold out everywhere those search baits!
Used them on Winnebago against a plain jig head and crawler for several days. Nothing on the searchbait. Several on plain jig and crawler or leach. Idk
It's just an Erie Dearie or a Walleye Killer lure.
T looks like a erie dearie
Now I have ordered all that I need….Fleet and Farm has them in stock on-line. Shipping is expensive but at least they have stock. Sorry Scheels.
Your Welcome.
Really I didn't watch this videa to watch him catch fish. I want to see the rigups.
Searching for the sold out Search Bait...😢
Get the walleye nation creations "death jig" it's the original of the jig he's using
I'd like to see a video of just the Mega Live screen and narrated what he's seeing, and pointing out where the lure and fish are...🤔🤷
Why are you taking to him in 3rd person?
@@duggaboy🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey, I'm that third person!
Actually, a little arrow showing me the vicinity of the bait and fish would help my old eyes!
I realize that, with time, and actually looking at an actual Humminbird screen we'd probably all start noticing the lure and fish 😎🎣

Sorry dude, the Kalins advertising is a little over the top.
It's called sponsorship.
Im cheap and since these dont exist by me i take northland whistler jigs, cut the hook offn and take my jewelers pliers to bend the remaining shank into a loop where i put a spro swivel and a slow death hook. Same thing and i make 2 dozen of them forvthe price of 1 kalins search bait.
Seeing that mega live footage convinced me not get get a mega-live. If that's what I have to decipher to recognize a fish then it's meaningless to me. Nothing more than random noise.
I cannot get the search bait to not tangle itself on every cast. 😂
Thread plastic or live bait over swivel and lob bait..... Don't whip it
@@TomBoley well that worked. Caught a northern on my first cast. Not a walleye , but I'm sure there's plenty to come. Thanks Tom.
No idea what you’re trying to show on that mega live. I see nutten.
First they have to be in stock to purchased. Haven't been in stock for the last week and a half at the link provided. Luckily picked some up at the local Cabela's store..
Walleye nations creation has the original of this design if you need more
i fish way to snaggy of areas for $10 a pop lol.
🎣
ive done better with perspective mode than the standard forward facing.
Unreal how gullible fishermen are. 75% of the comments are about them being sold out. Crazy!!
Stupid thing fouls up half the time. No joke.
dont whip it. lob it out.
that will solve that problem
@@TomBoley I'll try that, thanks.
Search bait ?? Really lol this channel
Is Turning more into an advertising tool than a fishing channel lol getting old fast
ive never fished a bait i can fish in more situations than this bait..... so yes this channel is advertising baits that are very universal and productive
What if you don’t have Mega Live ? Are you dead in the water. If so ,sorry you are not worth watching on youtube
It’s an Eerie Dearie From back in the day. Basically same
$9.99 each for Kalins Searchbaits at Fleet Farm. Ouch. Better keep them off the bottom at that price.
