new hot baits for 2024. The Next Big Thing in fishing. Fishing game changers. bass fishing lures.
#springfishing #winterfishing #bassfishing #fishing
Haters gonna hate Hank. You have been the one person that has swayed me toward buying a FFS . So let them hate, you do you and us geeks will keep watching.
Facts
I do have a love hate with it. I miss just flipping or cranking etc. I also want to compete and you have to learn and be good at it. There is a lot of things in my videos, especially fishing videos that I do to prep, learn, and be better at tournament fishing. I want to do it but I have a lot to be better at.
@@BassGeek I suck at tournaments I can have a stellar day even in prefish and tourney days wa waaaaaahh
FFS is great for the average angler who doesn't have decades of experience, but it definitely takes away from the fishing experience. Most people who like it also tend not to play video games as much, so sitting in front of a screen like that is a newer experience.
Good or bad, it's definitley changing fishing (I personally don't believe it's for the better, because it's now a tech arms race in fishing lol) but what it's destroying beyond doubt is tournaments. If you don't have 10k in electronics you've lost, and that's wild to think when half those guys would be loosing terribly if they didn't have FFS...
Hank…including your family is a huge plus. Thanks for your excellent content!
Thanks for introducing your family! I used to fish saltwater about 30 years ago and then due to so much traveling for work got out of all fishing. Having recently moved to Florida, at 76 , I bought a travel rod and started using it the old fashioned way with worms. Then I discovered your channel and started fishing some plastics from the bank of the lakes around here and use plastics 99% of the time mainly because of your videos. Used your Buyers Guide for the rods and reels I’ve purchased to date. Thank you and please keep the videos coming you’re a great teacher!
Hey thank you and you can tell I'm a soft plastics NUT. It's because of the water I fish. It little to no cover, super deep, and crazy clear. I love my wire and hard baits to but there is a time and place for them. It's always the right time for some soft plastics LOL
I'm not even half-way through the video and I'm ready to shop for new Spring goodies!
Just made it to the end.. heard the wife might not be happy, don't forget your PFD!
Just don't get grounded like me.
Thanks for sharing your family
Thanks for showing us all the new
goodies out there.Just be you and don’t change anything that’s not broken.
Cheers
Hey I'm to old not to be me now LOL
Im a new Geek! I watch all the youtube anglers and you’re easily my favorite. You have a very positive, informative, funny and lovable way about you. My kids watch, my nephew too.
Thank you for that message in this video. You handled the haters perfectly. Please keep it up… i look forward to the next video.
Btw…. That bay ruff BR fish slays!!
Hey thank you to all your family for watching and WOW what a compliment to be your Favorite is an honor that does mean the world to me.
I'm a bank angler. I like ur channel because you cover everything. I watch the episode where you showed how to hover strolling from the bank without using a livescope. I went out and tried it and blue my mind I was catching them. Thanks for sharing..
HECK YEAH!!!!!! Man I love it. Thank you.
Thanks for the love towards BassReaper. I hope one day meet you. You're one of the good dudes out there.
Man they are making some killer UNIQUE stuff and have more coming.
Family is everything ❤️
Yes they are and my girls are my life.
First time checking you out and I must say, Great Job Sir!!!! I was a little hesitant at first because of the video length, but I was intrigued by the title. Long story short, I watched the ENTIRE video. Great content, great info, great atmosphere, great EVERYTHING!!!! PLEASE KEEP IT UP!!!! You have a new fan/subscriber. God Bless You and Your Family Sir.
Awesome thank you
Hey Hank cute kids thank for the video appreciate you taking the time to make them for us. . Hey Hank I like all the neat tackle companies you find. God bless you and your family.
Thank you and I love tackle It's problem and thank you and all the Fishing Geeks for supporting this channel other wise my tackle additions would have gotten me devoiced long ago.hahahaha
Love to see the grandkids/family stuff on your videos. What? You've never seen ears, eyes, and a smiley face on a bait? lol. That changing creature by Bass Reapers was funny looking. Should work though. Those Swamp Pro Klinch colors were pretty sweet. And the Fulks Custom Crank blade baits are money! Thanks for the video Hank. #100percentwatchsquad ✌️😎🎣
Yes they are and thank you
Going to a stocked farm pond tomorrow. Got some big rock and standing timber. Gonna be cold but a pretty day, let’s hope I can’t catch a couple on the ole jig.
Man I hope ya catch a TOAD
Another great video Hank! Some really nice baits that you shared and some great information. Really enjoyed watching and learning. Keep up the great work my brother! #100PWS!
Thank you for watching and I love finding, testing, learning.
Love all the new baits and techniques each year and you do a great job of showing all us couch potato's what's new. I appreciate all the leg work you do..#100watchsquad
I just love it. It's why I suck at tournaments I'm just a gear head. I love new baits and techniques.
WOW…. What a great video. You have hugely redeemed yourself with all of this content. Nice looking baits that I haven’t seen nor what I consider them, but you have me sold on them. Can’t wait to order them. Thank you for taking the time to share all of these baits with us and your honest opinion of them…
Thank you and I just picked up some stuff that looked cool to me.
Razor needs to get web sight up his work is crazy good
I KEEP TELLING HIM!!!!
Im geeking out seeing all the awsome new baits!! Cant wait for spring!!
Man it’s fun and the wife grounded me
Great haul Hank, great looking baits....
Man It was a fun show this year.
Hank, keep doing your thing. Haters will always hate. I was a bank angler for a long time before getting into the kayak world and you can fish almost everything you suggest from the bank. Sorry to tell everyone this but FFS is here and it is not going anywhere. If you want to use it go for it, if you are more of a purest great do your thing. Don't knock others for fishing with technology. #100percentwatchsquad
Amen and thank you
One tip for you Hank, on the wobble head. After putting on your hook, cut a short piece of shrink tube, slide it up next to the head and shrink it. This will insure that the hook stays on and upright.
Cool I will do.
GIRTH!!! 🤣🤣 everyone loves a lil more girth! Lmaoooo Keep on Hank! Gotta get you on a live soon brother
You know it’s true!
Such a awesome channel! Thanks for everything you do big dog!
Hey thank you for everything you do for me.
Great to see you at Knox Vegas my friend ! Swampro folks are the real deal! Great content 👍 #100percentwatchsquad
Good to see you sir
Nothing makes an angler greater than an angler that cares for his family.
#100%watchsquad
That’s my girls right there
Hank, thanks for introducing a lot of those baits from the fishing show! Awesome baits and colors! #100%watchsquad
Man I spent to much money but I'm happy I did.
Those "squid baits" look like what west coast salmon fishermen call Hoochies. Work well in saltwater for coho and in smaller sizes for lake Kokanee salmon.
I can't wait to put them on a Texas rig or as a trailer on some things. Should be fun.
Great video! Loving the BassReaper Baits! All I use anymore
I love'em man they are coming out with some killer stuff.
Yes.. I was doing that stuff from the bank before it got popular, and I fish from the bank through the week after work and the boat on the weekend.
Love it thank you so dang much!!!!!!!
Probably not the first but I say “If you fish you’re my friend. “.
Hahaha AMEN
Girthy!!! Good work buddy.
Thanks man I enjoyed it.
Very impressed with Bass Reaper Baits; they went out and actually innovated; they could have easily gone out and produced the same old molds but instead they made their own baits. I like small companies that make their own footprint. Thank You for sharing that brand with us; I’ll be looking out for them.
Yes sir they did.
At 82 years old, I have gone to forward facing.
It's like topwater all the time LOL
For God's sake...don't tell Randy!! 😧
😅😅😅
Love family man. Respect brother
Love mine for sure they are the reason I do what I do for sure.
#100percentwatchsquad! Keep doing what you doing big guy. All us true geeks have your back.
What UP DANNY!
Not much Hank. Enjoyed talking to you at the East TN Fishing Show! Love the channel and don't pay no attention to the haters trying to bring you down bro. Love every video you post and always look forward to them.
#100percentwatchsquad Those were some really awesome new toys you picked up! I really like that custom painted whopper plopper. Gorgeous bait!
Yeah that thing was sweet. Thanks man
Appreciate the love!!!
Anytime bro you paint some incredible baits
I think YOU are the next big thing in fishing!!!!
lol I’m already big 300lbs! Hanahahaha
Wow! What a great show for baits and so much more. Maybe I can get down there next year. #100percentwatchsquad
It’s incredible for sure
That creature bait sure is geeking 😂😂😂❤❤
Yes it is. I love it.
i bought some of those cha cha glides from thunderhawk last year. your wife sees the bank account you wont be going to no fishing shows for a while.
I'm grounded.
Sure as hell can fish a hover strolling bait, Damiki rig off the bank...been catchin fish this way for a hot minute...An open mind will catch you more fish😁 Love the new baits man!
AMEN Brother!
Learning live scope is still a challenge. I didn’t master it in a year lol 😢
Nope I sure haven't. But I'm learning and having fun.
Hate to hear about the negativity on livescope that you have to deal with. I sure do love those Glide baits from pulse jigs. I will havento get some because they look great. Hopefully you won't get in too much trouble with the wife brother 🎣🔥
#100percentwatchsquad
Those omega baits are fire!
I love that you can change skirts on the fly.
That looked like a bunch of great baits. Glad you stopped by the @swamprolures booth. I killed them this weekend on their Klinch Shad in LA Smoke rigged with a 1/8oz belly weighted swim bait hook. #100%watchsquad
That's a good looking bait.
That Swamp pro bait is an epic baits mold. Hardly innovative since every bait maker can buy. Still a sweet bait though
Still a sweet bait agreed
You remind me so much of an old friend Billy Westmorland.
He must be a great dude 😂
Bass Geek I live in South Georgia, and without fail
After a big rain and the bottom of my local ponds get stirred up I struggle catching anything until the dust settles so to speak,
What can I do after a rain in the ponds when the water becomes very muddy to locate and get fish to bite
In the summer that can be a good thing IF the pond is clear. They will most definitely move tight to cover or structure because they are used to using their eyes to track pray. Stirring up the bottom can also put the bass in a negative mood due to the amount of sediment in the water which irritates gills. So first try to find clean run in. Second try to find and drop, deep spot, grass, wood, rock, etc. shallow and I mean 1foot deep. They will go to the bank
that helps a lot. I will try that for sure. thank you again for the insight@@BassGeek
Wow!!
Thank you.
The Japanese bait タコベイト (or “tako beito”) means octopus bait 🐙!
Awesome thank you
Hey have you tried any of Bizz baits stuff tried there ned dizzy plastics last year was pretty impressed
Yes they are extremely nice baits. I’ve gotten to meet them several times now
Nice haul Hank
Thanks I think we can find a winner in that group.
I can't wait to test'em out.
Yes❤❤
Yes indeed.
What was in Vegas? Wish we had known!
Knox-Vegas it’s what we call Knoxville
Ah-HAH! So YOU'RE the reason all the stuff I was looking for at Swampro was sold-out! 😂
Hahahahaha sorry
That Klinch Shad looks money
OH man I have a plan for it. hahahaha
I respect that you talk about all fishing techniques. I understand it's your job and livelihood. It's healthy to disagree in a civil manner. Livescope takes away the magic of fishing. It's so boring to watch people stare at a screen. But I'm not critical of you. And I'm sure a lot of livescope baits can be used without livescope. Just my respectful opinion. Love your channel.
It depends on how you approach it. If you come at me with a closed mind having NEVER seen or used the tech then your opinion is unfounded and based on rumors and theories. You’re feeding into a mass hysteria. Next anglers tend to forget that NOT all water is like their water. Most DONT fish the SUPER highland reservoirs That I fish. Where the bass move completely offshore in schools and roam in open water in the summer. Third it’s about CATCHING. No one has ever fell in love with fishing UNTIL they have caught a fish. CATCHING is what sets the sport of fishing apart from hiking or pleasure boating. Plenary of people love the outdoors but they don’t love bass fishing until they catch one. Then it’s an addiction. People have been staring at screens WELL before live scope. Go back and watch videos from years past if it’s offshore or deep lakes maps and 2d played.
That 4.3 Klingon is interesting
Yes sir I can't wait to test'em out.
I can’t find the Bassreaper panfish bait
Look at their website and it’s the micro minnows and the spikes
Can you show the action of these underwater?
That’s a lot of baits
#100PWS whether it’s fishing or the family. I’m always learning something!
Me to sir I love it.
But bass geeks love reviews with underwater video. 👍🏻
We are working on them but every bait in this video? That's a lot.
Man you showing us baits we've never er even heard of so don't worry about them unstable individuals and let's get down to business Mr. GEEKSTER 😂❤ don't worry about the haters ❤❤❤❤
I don't I just want people to know this is how it works we cover it all. Or at least make a very poor attempt to try. LOL
Livescope! What is this “Livescope” you speak of?🤔
Hahahaha I wish we could just be o we it already
Well glad my wife just says do you need more cuz i have lots of baits but i brought home a 40k bass boat didnt tell her
OH man. You are lucky she didn't try to match ya. LOL
@BassGeek she was part of the new boat buy this year she said well your going to buy it either way. She can spend her money on what she wants as long as bills are paid is the motto
Got to collab with you sometime
Where you from?
@@BassGeek Greenville North Carolina I see and talk to you every year at the expos
I am your geek highway really like you fishing shows that you do and you know what I don't make fun of what you do you are a you just teaching us how to do different stuff I don't know why they did that to you
Hey it’s fine. You know you’re doing something right when you have haters!
Bank tips, drop shot, all tips are welcome to me!!! #100percentwatchsquad
Thank you!
Proven fact. Lures catch fishermen and not necessarily fish
Very true but ya never know which lures catch fish unless you get caught a few times.
For every great angler there’s an even better wife.
You got that right.
Quit putting these videos out, I'm running out of money! Lol
LMAO!!!!
Thos3 4.3" Klinch baits are actually the 4.3" Epic Slay Bait by @epicbaitmolds Anyone can grab the mold and make those baits for them selves in amazing custom colors! It's such an awesome bait!!! You will enjoy fishing it!! Works best on a 6/0 Weighted Swimbait hook like the Owner Beast Hook. Tight Lines!!
I'm sure I will.
