Great video within a video. It’s a stinker when the fish works a hole in the worm.
I like the suggestion that this worm can be rigged multiple ways.
Your NRX+ must be a joy to use.
The membership and December code are awesome. I share it every chance I can
I picked some of those up last month. I haven't had a chance to use them yet. Thay omina deal is killer thanks for the headsbup
Hard to beat Owners Ultra series. Really like there centering pins on there baits. Whoop whoop thanks for the tip on omnia premium
Got the Omnia premium, thanks! 👍🏼
I'm all-in on Omnia now. Can't wait for them to start stocking Beast Coast. I learned about them from your channel and now they're my first stop for everything.
Beast coast is coming soon!
That 852s is amazing I agree. Also heard the xbites is an amazing shakey head rod which would make sense with the tip on the rod. Gonna have to try that out.
Interesting!
Xbites is a swimjig rod. It will feel like a noodle shaking that baby!
I can't wait to try those out keep looking at my local shops and that havnt found them yet
Onmnia has em! Links are in the video description.
Good video. But your issue with the hook pulling through the smh worm has me puzzled. Don’t you have the same issue with the wiggler? I just started using zman plastics last year and they have held up better than the other plastics I’ve used. I haven’t tried them on a shaky head yet though.
I’m the first to comment!!! Love your videos. How do u think the Shimano Expride Casting 7’ medium heavy will perform as a jerkbait rod? Also I got the Shimano Expride B spinning 7’ medium after watching your review. Thanks😊
I've not personally used the 7' MH, but I think for jerkbaita you should probably go with a medium power.
Bought some of these ealry this last summer and knew they were legit when my 12 year old kid caught a fish on one before I even had the trolling motor in the water. I primarily used them with senko style baits. Only bummer is I learned that true Yamamoto baits, with how salty they are, will really rust the hook if you leave them rigged a while. Overall great jig head.
zman plastics give me trouble when i trig them sometimes they ball up around the hook. Ever have that problem? thanks for omnia tip
SMH jigs are sweet wish they were tungsten but just ordered 4 more packs. Got my biggest of the year on these today and never had hook keeper problems
I picked up some Zman shaky heads that have the bigger collar for the bait keeper maybe that would work better and some super glue ?
Got a question not related the to content of the video. Looking for a single rod for all types of 1/4-1/2oz but mostly 3/8-1/2 jigs but mostly casting and ball finesse with the occasional football jig or swim jig in a pinch. I bank angle in ponds and lakes with submergent and emergent grass and wood. Very few rocky sections. Reel TBD but looking at JDM Shimano SLX DC XT or Curado MGL 150 but open to suggestions on that as well. Have been considering the Expride B 7’2” MH or Megabass Orochi XX Braillist but 7’5” may be hard to cast at times from the bank
SMH fan here. Used it a decent amount this summer. Maybe I haven't caught enough fish on them but I've never had that issue with the worm sliding down.
Just my personal experience for sure.
@@PunchFishing watching one of latimore’s smh videos, he seemed to have a much smaller amount of worm for the hook collar to hold on to. It seemed like he only had maybe an 1/8”, maybe that was the difference ?
@@pdfahie Yes, I believe he specified to let the keeper come completely out of the worm.
Thanks for the info. You could also just cut 1/2 inch off the worm at the top and you are good to go for a while .
True!
Have you handled the new Expride B medium by any chance? I know you have/had the Expride A. I've seen reviews saying the B is stiffer/heavier than the A's. Meaning a M Expride B is more like a MH. I was looking at the 7' M Expride B for shaky head but don't want it too powerful like a MH.
I got the 7'2 medium heavy casting rod and it's essentially a heavy
@@GaryAnderson87 Dang. So the 7 M will likely feel like a MH I bet..
@@Twangtown7 Yeah, I have a buddy with a 7'2 medium light spinning and he says it's like a medium
@@GaryAnderson87 Appreciate it!
I have a medium light... and it's a medium!
Tried the SMH this year, and didn’t care for the hook and plus one of the hooks rusted out after one use. I will stick to the Owner & Dirty Jigs shakeyheads.
I use the owner head and grande bass worms too great combo. Tried the SMH stuff too. I like it too but still like the other better.
Yeah, I'm not going to fully "convert" away from my usual shaky head setup.. but the SMH isn't terrible.
@@PunchFishing no I like it but I love the grande bass worms though that tail stands straight up and wags!
Do you think that bait keeper would be good for non-ZMan plastics or would it tear them too easily?
I think it would be perfectly fine for any finesse worms
Great video
Thanks!
Brian, how would you compare the NRX 852s to the Megabass Orochi XX Shaky Head rod with respect to power and sensitivity ??
I've not owned that rod personally. No reason to get it when I have a couple 852s.
@@PunchFishing makes sense, just know you've done two reviews on Orochi XX spinning rods and have said they are second to none, ie the best rod people have ever made. Just wondered if you'd fished the shaky head model.
super glue the worm to the head of the jig and that should take care of the problem . i use a drop of glue to hold all my zman plastics works great
Great tip! I usually dab some glue but I often forget I even have it in the boat
Hi, what Is the difference between Ned rig Rod? Thank you.
the NRX+ ned rig rod? it's more of a true medium light power
@@PunchFishing yes, what Is the difference between nrx+ ned rig or shaky head nrx+ rods? Thanks
Did you throw it on an ower hook
Try a little super glue as B. Latz reccomends to do. slippage problem solved
What reel are you pairing with the nrx?
Currently it's a previous gen Exsence 4000
@@PunchFishing isn't it too big for such a "finesse" rod?
That's one thing I never heard anyone talk about ya obviously zman last awhile but if that plastic has been on a hook for awhile it's almost like having your ears pierced after awhile the hole just stays open that's how zman plastic is
Super glue should help
DEC CODE NOTE WORKING
Some items are code protected, like Megabass & Shimano. Also it's a one time use code (why I have a new one each month).
@@PunchFishing that's why I had s shimano rod in there
Thanks
ill just super glue it to the head
Does OMNIA PREMIUM include Free international shipping. But before i make any order i must call Mr Joe Biden. Maybe he can change US $ to €uro currency change rate a bit in favor of Europe?
My money is going JDM since a few months: bought a Steez A HLC and another Destroyer P5 by Christmas i guess 😏👍 (3rd spinning rod of the P5 family) 🤘😆🤘
Thumbnail says “SHM”, grammar Nazi in me couldn’t resist sorry :(.
Ahh I'll fix it. Thanks!
