Had a chance to take a couple of these snakes that was released at ICAST 2018 to do some bass fishing on my SUP. I was quite surprised how aggressive these bass wear attacking the snake.
Dude, what a great moment fishing that Savage Gear Snake! I have a bunch of them and just got ice off the water sources up here in New Hampshire.....but I've been throwing mine and looking at the action just knowing they are going to get smashed! I just looked up some bass catch videos on it, and saw yours first. Didn't disappoint! Interesting you chose that type of "pop reel" technique, instead of just steady retrieve with minimal pops. I love how subjective fishing is, and how we can all learn from each other. Great job here!
Thanks man... love the snake lure. I retrieve both ways... some times the steady retrieve works better... other time the intermittent popping gets them to commit better. I do what the fish wants me to do. lol .... good luck with the fishing.. lmk how you do.!
Just a little word of advice to everyone who reads this comment when you catch a fish with treble hooks do not put your hands in his mouth to land him because once That fish starts to shake those treble hooks will pop out of his mouth and go straight in your fingers I had to find that out the hard way. nice video
I use to be anti bait caster until I started to use heavier line and lure. It just works better. Salt water especially inshore light lures I'm 100% spin.
@@samroot Hehe I have a friend who tried to go form spin to baitcaster but he can't get used to it. I constantly see him untangling his line. But I was wondering why BC fishing is so hectic. I never tried it. Is it faster to handle? Or is there competitive fishing where it is necessary to be quick with the baitcaster?
@@Heineken1712 he needs to use a heavier lure and then balance it. Those bass guys has like 20 combo with different lures so they don't have to rebalance Everytime to hey change lures which means more time to fish for the $$$.
Often a bass will be triggered to eat by reaction. It’s in their nature to just eat…everything! You hear these guys in these videos talking about triggering a reaction bite. Any lure can/will do it. Just put it in the right spot at the right time and set the hook
I highly recommend this bait I use the 8inch rattlesnake and crush it bass can't resist it
Honestly, I had my doubts but the 8" snake catches bass like no other.

Yup and always have pliers and cutters with you 👍
Hi, Sam! Great video and great catch! Are u going back to catfish conference next year?
I am not sure I can make it. It was a good conference.
Good stuff brother that was pretty awesome 👍👍
Nice video man just ordered 1 2day. What state u fishing in?
Cool a bit cold here in Florida so they are a bit deep. Looking forward to get out there soon. Love top water !
Looks like an effective top water lure! Which one do you prefer, the 8 or 12”? I’m thinking of purchasing one🤔🎣
Definitely the 8" ... works pretty good the 12" is probably more for like pike and muskie.
Sam Root Thanks 🙏🎣
@@stevencaldwell838 No problem brotha ..
You just sold me. They should pay you lol
I completely agree 😅
Great action I’m def getting one for this year
It's a blast to fish and it cast surprisingly well.
I can't help but feel like people who use baitcasters are always super hectic with their gear.

Did the hooks ever get caught in the joints of the lure?
Dang...you were slaying them! What test pound line and rod power/action do you like for the 8" snake?
That’s sick
Way too crush it man, I just got the black one excited to go throw it.
nice eats bro. May have to pick up one of them snakes.
Sometimes I think a bass will eat anything. That's an interesting lure.
Jim M I’ve seen them eat baby ducks and baby alligators lol.

Never seen these -- very cool. Is this the 8" or 12" and any specific color? Thanks!
I find the 8' works best for bass. The larger ones I'm assuming it's for pike fishing.
Awesome! What line type(mono, fluoro, or braid) & lb test did you use?
40-50lb braid on a short 30-40lb mono leader.
Sam Root Thank you^^
4:55 😂
Whats a wake bait?
It makes a small wake near the surface. Like a low riding topwater lure.
Do you have a link to purchase the lure ?
