What # Fluorocarbon do you use on the Hybrid Hunter? Do you ever fluctuate with different line sizes or do you stay with just one size for all conditions? Thanks buddy
20# Sunline Sniper always it really doesn't matter if you downsize, you might get 6 more inches but give up the strength. The way they hit it I wouldn't give up that
I have one of these exact original strike pro baits but have only thrown it 1 time maybe. I didn’t realize what I had but I will be throwing it now for sure!
I appreciate your integrity Todd, much respect!! I think it worked out the best way possible. I have a couple old baits like that myself that they dont make any more that catches em good!! I look forward to seeing these baits hit the market and I've been looking forward to the big reveal vid. Well done!
I’ve watched all your videos I can find. But no mention of time of year when it’s best. Pre spawn? Fall? Post spawn? Heat of summer? Winter? Water temp?
Cold is always better because they are shallower during the prespawn and fall. However, if they are shallow and dead in the middle of summer they’ll eat it
Very good story behind this bait. I have had things that worked so good before that you are torn between showing a buddy and keeping it to yourself. Good video.
I cant believe all of the haters on here . If you watch and LISTEN then one would see that you are pretty straight forward and honest about what you are pushing . you have made no false claims , you just shared the truth . im in 100% . What type action rod do I need ? im assuming a good crankbait rod but maybe you could enlighten me on that . Thanks and I love your content and I will be tuning in whenever you make new videos .
Todd, As you know I am a big fan and a supporter, great job on video, and yes, I know how hard it is to release stuff like that. I live on the coast and frequent T-Bend , but I throw many things for Redfish that no one throws for a reason, stuff from the past that TIME forgot , but the fish did not. Good job, keep up the solid format you provide. Brad
im sure you already know but i really feel like you should be putting links to purchase all the gear you use in your video descriptions at the bottom of the video {rod,reel,line, terminal tackle, lures, clothing, etc.}. much in the way tacticalbassin does on there pages. that being said, love your videos todd! really wanna see you qualify for the elites. good luck the rest of the season, hammer!
Thank you for sharing this Todd. Huge respect for you. Its really nice to know there are still a few honest guys out there in the fishing industry doing things the right way and for the right reasons. In the long run this kind of attitude is what gets people to be brand loyal and they can pick a lure off the shelf knowing it has street cred. Cannot wait to try this bait in South Africa, it will be a game changer. P.S. You need to visit South Africa. We have some of the best Bass fishing in the world.
Yea 6th Sense tried this an was close but not close it catches fish but it doesn't have the same hunting action as this bait. I know a couple people. Jus leave it at that. But man I like the way u operate. If u come to Alabama, let's fish I can put u on some 5lb plus spots.
New scribe here Todd, glad I found ya and admire your humble personality. Just wondering, did this lure help you win the tournament that you are now banned from? =):§
Hey Todd, thanks for setting down and providing your perspective and insight in the background behind the date. Really looking forward to seeing it and trying it. God bless!
Yes, I'll start making videos on them. I've already been throwing them in some of my old videos I just had to keep them out of the picture until they we're ready to release it
Going to try this , been looking at those style baits. Just seen this bait on TRF channel and talked you up good so I’m going to get a few thanks man! Man look bait company’s are never make a perfect bait until someone can make a bait that moves and looks like a real fish to the T. And when that happens everyone is going to company that lol. I just have a hard time trying to buy cheaper looking baits like Walmart’s brand . What you think about cotton cordwells baits? Love to see a video on those.
Todd, I love these stories that tell the behind the scenes of the business and your career. Your honesty is so refreshing. Thanks buddy for all you do!!
We are gonna have some different colors for sure. This thing is different and it acts different than a crankbait so certain colors are going to be better than your usual crankbait colors. This bait will surprise you.
Thats pretty awesome,Todd & like you said its a win win 4 all of us.If you get a chance let me know if I got this;so its a shallow crank with the most insane,off center-line hunting action EVER-EVER EVER..I'm curious as to the weight of the bait itself.Regular squarebill gear or more the heavy crankin set up?
BlueCollarBassFishin Brian heavy cranking stuff but not really a cranking rod I use a specific rod a long worm rod that’s not really a worm rod. I’ll try and explain it sometime on video.
I will say I wish this wasn't coming out. We both know Casey's isnt the same as the Bubba. But we also both know there is one specific color that Is the best, is SK coming out with that color? I'm not even going to name it here.
👍🏼 well we know once it’s released all of East Texas will have them and the fish will get conditioned to them I’m assuming. Will it be available in a silent and maybe a different type of rattle later? I know the hard knock has a lot to do with the original design but it may be worth it to experiment with some different models and see how they do.
You're letting it out because 6th sense is going to claim they're the first...the best...the googans copy, strike king copies, this, that, the other...dude you swing em'!!! Love it man!
There is absolutely no way that u can convince me that strike King can make a bait that will be better than 6th Sense in any way. Especially its components or in its colors. Also, if a company stops making a bait because nobody buys them and another company tweaks some shit and puts their sauce all over it and sells it now and sells good, is it really a problem to give people a new badass bait that you can actually get? Is it really even the same bait? I think the swank stands alone and will not be out performed by a company like strike King. I think you probably fucked up copying the strike pro and not the swank.
We didn't copy the Strike Pro, but thanks that was real informative. Oh yes I forgot people did not stop buying them. They sold out, they are one of the most sought after baits on the internet. In the video I said we aren't copying them we are licensing the bait out. It is literally the same bait that everyone is after. Real News
Todd, it’s great to see that you have your own channel. Loved your appearance on Zona’s tv show! Your reputation as a guy that does it the right way is well deserved and your content is entertaining and enlightening. I wish you the best in the bass fishing industry 🤝
![NISAMANEE - TADA (ท้าดา) [ OFFICIAL MV ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/hcQHEPMmJpU/mqdefault.jpg)
I have been throwing strike pro hunchback lures for years. Cant remember when I started using. Found a guy in Houston that is a distributor
Todd I just bought the JR Smooth and cannot wait ti test it here in TX. Blessings!
Good luck
Yo zuri 3D flat has a similar lip . My little brother uses it and bass love this thing. Way smaller bait though
The lip is only half the deal, weight, buoyancy, balance, noise. It's got some things working for it unlike anything else.
Great "inside baseball" discussion, appreciate it.
No problem
You should have them make it in more realistic colors like a bluegill
Todd I love this bait. First tourney out with it won first place and big fish. First fish caught went over five pounds….
That’s awesome
What # Fluorocarbon do you use on the Hybrid Hunter?

I have one of these exact original strike pro baits but have only thrown it 1 time maybe. I didn’t realize what I had but I will be throwing it now for sure!
What color is it?
Todd Castledine Fishing its a off white with yellow on the belly and grayish back I believe!
Sweet shad I believe, we are bringing back that color
Thanks Todd for shooting straight forward.
Yes sir
Amazing bait. Have caught good fish on then this year
I appreciate your integrity Todd, much respect!! I think it worked out the best way possible. I have a couple old baits like that myself that they dont make any more that catches em good!!

Next couple videos will be me on the water with them.
@@toddcastledinefishing5924 looking forward to it!
I can’t find one video on when the best time is to use it. Productive year round?
If they are shallow yes
I’ve made quite a bit of videos on it
I’ve watched all your videos I can find. But no mention of time of year when it’s best. Pre spawn? Fall? Post spawn? Heat of summer? Winter? Water temp?
Can you post a link to the video?
Cold is always better because they are shallower during the prespawn and fall. However, if they are shallow and dead in the middle of summer they’ll eat it
Very good story behind this bait. I have had things that worked so good before that you are torn between showing a buddy and keeping it to yourself. Good video.
Chris Foley i struggled with this a long time and to be honest still do but it’s time I think

Your videos have become some of my favorites just because of things like this. Keep makin em bud 👍
Will do, my next 2 videos will be about the Hybrid Hunter on the water

Don't let the saltwater baits out of the bag, I throw a bunch of those. I bet we throw some of the same things, and your right no one throws them.
Found a couple at academy sports 4th cast had one kill it tried to snatch it instead of sweeping
Most guys are saying they are to find right now
im sure you already know but i really feel like you should be putting links to purchase all the gear you use in your video descriptions at the bottom of the video {rod,reel,line, terminal tackle, lures, clothing, etc.}. much in the way tacticalbassin does on there pages. that being said, love your videos todd! really wanna see you qualify for the elites. good luck the rest of the season, hammer!
Thats coming soon I promise
What is the color called thats in the picture labeled "Hybrid Hunter"?

Senkomaniac that’s my goal tell everything like it is, be transparent, be honest, some won’t get it but that’s ok.
Thanks for the honesty
You bet

@@toddcastledinefishing5924 yes!
New scribe here Todd, glad I found ya and admire your humble personality. Just wondering, did this lure help you win the tournament that you are now banned from? =):§
Yes, it was what we caught all those fish towards the second half of the video.
Todd Castledine Fishing You think there’s a connection? I can possibly see one.
no connection, they just want to cater to a different crowd. Thats their MO.
Thanks Todd. Takes a lot to share something like that with the public.
Great stuff Todd, I was wondering about this subject myself......transparency is always the best policy.....like it or lump it lol
Totally agree, that's the kind of things I'm trying do on my channel.
Watching you fish that thing really peaked my curiosity, you should send me one of yours to try for myself 😉😂😂
Hey Todd, thanks for setting down and providing your perspective and insight in the background behind the date. Really looking forward to seeing it and trying it. God bless!
Good, I'm glad you enjoyed
Great explanation. Will you be explaining what the best conditions are for throwing it? In your previous videos looked like over the top of grass.
Yes, I'll start making videos on them. I've already been throwing them in some of my old videos I just had to keep them out of the picture until they we're ready to release it
Hey bud, congrats on Champs. (I'm the guy you talked to at the ramp before you launched that morning)
Thanks, I'm working on that video now. The beginning is funny to me. Its a lot of us talking in the dark trying to figure out where to go.
Going to try this , been looking at those style baits. Just seen this bait on TRF channel and talked you up good so I’m going to get a few thanks man!

Todd, When will this bait be out for purchase...
I'm hoping for the fall, this little virus is could set things back but hopefully not.
Luv it keep it open keep it honest! 💯
Todd, I love these stories that tell the behind the scenes of the business and your career. Your honesty is so refreshing. Thanks buddy for all you do!!
Thats the goal, I hope some guys really understand that.
I am a fan of yours I live in Lufkin and fish Nacogdoches 3 to 4 times a week sure would like to fish one day with you
Natural Shad is a must. And can we please get the Lavendar Sexy Shad color back lol
We are gonna have some different colors for sure. This thing is different and it acts different than a crankbait so certain colors are going to be better than your usual crankbait colors. This bait will surprise you.
Great I'm looking for it I have some original I need more color when coming in the market??
Trust me you'll like the new colors
@@toddcastledinefishing5924 when going to be released
@@toddcastledinefishing5924 what.s it called and the best colors top 3 colors
Can’t wait to get my hands on some. What is your top two colors in the bait, and how do you like to use it? Thanks. Keep up the good vids man. 👊🏼👊🏼
Colors can be tricky as it depends on water clarity, in the last video I released today I threw the blue craw color for the first time.
I'm SO glad you made this video. Man you've had a hand in some of the most awesome baits out there. I want the good ones now lol!!!!
Thanks
Straight up talk, love it, thanx for the heads up on the bait man!!
You bet

I don’t know dude, that still looks a lot like the Bubba from Strike Pro
??????
You gotta know I’m kidding, right? Anyway, really enjoy the channel & looking forward to more great content (and the lure, of course).
@@markstivers3383 It is obvious you did not watch the video whole because Todd explain it all very clearly.
Vince- sorry if the ironic humor was a little over your head
If it’s better than the swank 77 I can’t wait to try the real deal!!
I trust your judgement, so if you are backing it then I'm on board.
I'm definitely on board, quite a few of my videos already have me throwing them I've just had to keep them under locks until now
Ok now you talked about it shut up no more talk of it great vid I yea what colors do I need
All of them🤣
Thanks Todd.
no problem
I love Your content! Keep it coming.
Will do
Thanks man, really enjoy your channel! New sub
Thanks man I appreciate it
You said ask anything Biden or trump
What do you think😂😂
Todd, Love the videos. What depth does this bait run and what seem to be the better colors so far?
2 to 5 foot, kinda depends all on water color, and time of a year
I will say I wish this wasn't coming out. We both know Casey's isnt the same as the Bubba. But we also both know there is one specific color that Is the best, is SK coming out with that color? I'm not even going to name it here.
chance huiet there are colors that I don’t think anyone knows about to be honest.
Where can we get them and when?
Where? everywhere in a few months, don't know the release date that's over my level.LOL
You really explain what your doing
Is it a rubber worm.....damnit man
👍🏼 well we know once it’s released all of East Texas will have them and the fish will get conditioned to them I’m assuming. Will it be available in a silent and maybe a different type of rattle later? I know the hard knock has a lot to do with the original design but it may be worth it to experiment with some different models and see how they do.
Thats the plan, not gonna lie its gonna be hard at first.
You're letting it out because 6th sense is going to claim they're the first...the best...the googans copy, strike king copies, this, that, the other...dude you swing em'!!! Love it man!
Thanks
Meh not to be that guy but I’ve got a crank bait that is probably the best and that’s a bold statement
Awesome!!!!!
6th sense did a horrible job of trying to mock this bait 😂😂
Can u even get one anywhere.watched ur video.when will they b out.
Bobby Thrasher no not yet hopefully by this fall
When can I buy some ???
I’m sold! Ready to stock up!
Todd, how much for one you already have? Im too hyped lol
I've been offered a lot. LOL
Long story short I have some from strike king and rehearsal before you do anymore
ok
I'm ready!!!
Will this nappy end up being called the “KVD” bubba or hybrid?! Haha. Man SK puts KVD on everything!
No I think just the Hybrid Hunter, but you never know
Todd 6th sence lures copied it and they call it the swank 77x
Well you get a % be my thinking mmm
of course. as he should.
Still won't out fish nightcrawlers
Probably true

we still have very few but be looking for them
So who cares?
