Good stuff man, but stay away from rob approach on videos, like his last one. Not a good image for you man. Get out there and perform in 2024 and crush it. I'm a Milliken fan and I hope you guys can get along.
I will 2nd this. I didn’t think it was a good luck! Probably a good marketing scheme but as your look personally I didn’t like it. I like you and your videos! I know Milliken has took some digs a cpl of times. But me personal I don’t want to be put in a spot to pick sides! I personal own your and his swimbait!

Glad you’ve noticed all the digs the last 12+ months @jessecooper9795. He’s been poking the bear & spreading lots of lies so now he’s getting the attention he’s been asking for
Remember the megabass ISlide262T? The worst glide bait ever made - until you do some grinding on it. I'm not keen on throwing gas on any perceived feud, but I will say I like both Milliken and Z. They are both open about sharing the secrets to their success and I've learned a lot watching both. I haven't fished either bait yet, we are under ice up here but I am more than sure they both will catch plenty of big dumb chunks here in Maine. If I want to know how a bait should be fished, I should take the direction from the designer.. imagine not having videos like these to study?? Ungrateful and close minded anglers should possibly just spend time dialing in their presentation rather than throwing stones at either guys passion project. If you don't tinker w baits, you probably don't give it the time it deserves and have a hundred baits in your shed that 'suck' because you haven't put the time in to learn them. I know I have a few. Just my thoughts and taking wagers on the side for AOY points leaders at the end of the season. Good luck @zaldaingerous I appreciate your hard work. The podcast is always worth the time I spend listing
i'm all about the unloaded version and can't wait to put the loaded to work brother! if you come out with the big boy i will be doing damage on it also! Thank you and Trait for the podcast also , you have great info and really enjoy watching Trait ask those hard questions that everybody wants to ask but never do. Keep up the good work and smash em this year on tour brother! God bless!
I picked up a couple of these and looking forward to using these on Pickwick. These swimbaits look amazing and love the detail and time put in to make these. Your a great guy Chris don't let Rob influence you to be someone your not.
Yo Brian! I built this thing literally with Pickwick in mind. The deep version will catch so many big sacks on that lake! Yea, Rob’s my boy. That other dude has talked 💩 about me in the past and I’ve never met him nor threw darts, so when Rob asked me to hop in his video, I did not hesitate.
Rob absolutely nailed it getting Zaldain to design for Bass Mafia! This man has put the time in and more than deserved to design his own swimmer! When it comes to the big swimbaits there’s not many guys better!
Unlike another line thru recently on the market, the Daingerous fishes consistently at multiple speeds at different sink rates. There's a lot of belly "meat" on this bait if you need to add weight using a glued in nail weights, it fishes the same. Great bait,Chris!
I've recently become a fan of yours, Chris. Just bought a handful of the loaded version, which is to be delivered today. I can't wait to try it out. Caught an 8lber last year out of Possum Kingdom so I'm going to go chase a 10lber. Thanks for dropping some knowledge!
Excellent video - I like the internal single hook concept. Can’t wait to chuck a few around once the ice thaws- bought a few more knowing i may lose a few to the toothy critters haha i’ll keep my eyes out for the perch color 👊🏼
Chris your a awesome angler hope you at least read your comments . Your tips are priceless , i however want to ask and give you a tip if you can find it to listen . Ad one more color to your loaded and even mag draft swimbait . Baby bass , i can't count the bass i have caught on baby bass😢 colored baits not to mention the zoom paddled tail swimbait in the baby bass color . If the accent is on natural forige , big Bass just love small bass 🤔
Awesome video as always man I’m definitely going to pick some of for these northern California fisheries! I can’t wait to take it out to the delta and Clearlake!
I saw a common request to add perch to the color options. If you consider that request, could you possibly lean it in the direction of RAPALA's yellow perch color instead of the more firetiger like color of the OG? Semitransparent would be nice as well. 🤞
Also, one of the most effective colors in the north east is Keitech's Sungill. You don't see many swimbaits in that type of color. Might be a pretty good addition.
@Zaldaingerous if you end up coming this side at an time let me know and I'll Hook you up with some guy's. There are a few awsome pieces of water here , Zimbabwe and neighbouring Swaziland 👍
i have one rod and its 7'2 medium heavy mod- fast i dont drive and notice when watching all the fishing video's most give recommendation assuming that all have vehicles & boats & that truly isnt the case. try to keep that in mind & good luck on this 2024 season..
Thanks for tips. Picked up 2 Pkg's of the 6" loaded swimbaits but unfortunately every square inch of water here is froze over. So ready for the thaw to give them a try.
Is a 7’1” mag heavy/fast action rod going to bust my chance for success with this? I fish solely from a kayak and I picked this rod up specifically for mag drafts when I started getting into swim baits but haven’t used it much yet.
King of swimbait fishin 🙌🏻 how can I get a signed loaded swimbait for my display ! Huge fan ! And most definitely have inspired me to throw big baits so thank you for the content and the love for to big baits !
I need to order some of your loaded swimbaits, I've been looking forward to them sense you talked about them while ago Im really looking forward to your 7-8" version to be honest... Top hook line through swimbaits is where it's at, I've been fishing the defiants pretty long time but we needed one with paddle tail. I've been fishing my 6" baits on med-heavy rods with 14-16lb floro. & I use my heavy swimbait rod for 7+ inch baits with 20lb floro.
I mostly fish grass lakes so the unloaded does wonders for me but I’ll grab a few of these for when I’m fishing rock or anything deep. I have so much confidence in these swim baits to outperform any other ones they just get it done. Also the new 6th sense swimbait swims upside down so you might need to start developing another swimbait that has that action 😂
What’s your go to gear ratio ? I didn’t hear it in the video and I’ve seen reviews that the harness is messing up the line? Have y’all had that issue or is that person just not entering the line right
On the replacement flipping hooks, does it matter if they have the keeper on the hook, i noticed yours is straight shank and was just wondering if a keeper will offset the action or anything?
Great in depth video Z. I watched the video yesterday with you an Rob, Awesome. We're is the closest store here in Azle to buy some? I would like to buy 1 of each color in the shallow and deep version. Is there a code from you i could use if I order Online? Thanks again from your friend here on Eagle Mountain Lake.
@Zaldaingerous Thanks for the Heads Up Z. If you ever have 5 extra minutes an your on 199 by Outdoor World. I would Love for you to sign 1 for me so I can hang the unopened box on my wall of Fame.
Awesome video, great info! Thank you for being an awesome teacher. I watch almost all of your content and I appreciate the work you and trait put in so much man. Reading these comments gets ridiculous. These guys are stupid. Don’t listen to these hollow heads. You just keep doing what your doing and F THE NOISE 💪
Chris just got four 🐟🐟🐟🐟 Do I get a flat billed hat that comes with them heee heee heee 10 pound bass picture coming from Georgia soon your brother Dave
Make the dorsal fin bigger like the megabass dark sleeper/sleeper gill dorsal fin where it hides the whole hook, and make a 2 inch, 3 inch, 4 inch, 5 inch, and bigger ones too like 10 inch. Plllllleeeeeeeaaaaassssssseeee!!!!!!! One thing I love about the megabass dark sleeper/sleeper gill is that dorsal fin hiding the entire but it bigger and a line thru. Plus always wanted a smaller harness and freesty big hollow body swimbait
I just wish I could get that with the big 5 0/t flipping hook and hook big. Right I am using a 3 0/t flipping, and/or 2 or 1 0/t circle hook to hide the entire hook. But I would love just it to moved forward a tiny bit bigger. Right I just have a 1/4 oz weighted screw-lock hook without the screw/lock and slid it through belly and line it up inside where half the is in the fin and then other half in front. I just love this one; I just mentioned. But just would love a bigger moved forward. I would love it to be a top hook harness with (treble, flipping, circle, or straight shank) hook with the Daingerous swimbait and with that big fin. Nose weighted/bottom dwelling/jigging swimbait like the dark sleeper/sleeper gill. 6th sense: whale, sweep, and panorama sismbait. Berkley Powerbait: Cull shad, Nessie, a swimbait like the nessie, Power stinger, Paddlin power stinger, Gilly, and I want a Paddlin Gilly. Megabass Magdraft JDM baits: Ayu Twitcher/Toucher and Hasu River/Raver. Freestyle one of these Megabass. Mike Bucca’s: weedless baby bull shad and I also someone to make a weedless baby bull gill. Please do all of these, some of these, and/or mix and match/make all combinations.
Really looking forward to trying this bait. But man…. I really hope it swims great considering all the back and forth nonsense. I remember your video when you were fishing the loaded bait and it got hung up. You were talking about how it was your “best swimming” bait and you really needed to get that one back. I hope I don’t have to buy three to get one to swim good.
What's the advantage of a 7'9 H vs a 7'9 XH? My 7'9 XH seems to cast and handle the swimbait better, and since it's a moderate, I'm never worried about setting the hook too hard.
@@Zaldaingerous Killer, thank you for the response. Reason I ask is that the BM website says 4/0 but you mentioned 5/0 in the video. Been smoking them on the 6" lately, loving it!
Also was wondering was size owner center pin screw lock pin should I use for the swimbait I noticed there is different sizes I was leaning towards the med or large not too sure was going to order some of the trokar tk178
It’s one we build. It’s solid and what I use, I don’t replace it. We are working on a Japanese manufactured upgrade pack in case someone needs more or wants to upgrade even further but I have zero issues with the hook supplied.
Great video. This is more like it. Please do not get caught up in the drama I believe it’s time for you and Ben to sit down and discuss the impact your are having in the industry. How to help it grow by what you both are doing. Because the league’s themselves are creating enough drama. Now that you will both on the same path. The content you put out could and will push a lot of viewers away. I mean ask yourselves do true tournament anglers really care want to watch a couple of pros Bash each other’s sponsors products. Just tell us how to be productive with that product. There is a reason you guys are called Professionals. Not drama queens.
Good stuff man, but stay away from rob approach on videos, like his last one. Not a good image for you man. Get out there and perform in 2024 and crush it. I'm a Milliken fan and I hope you guys can get along.

17 pound makes sense because in some of the tackle warehouse reviews people mentioned the difficulty of getting 20 pound in the harness.
20 will feed thru nicely, just use the curve of the fluoro and insert the line with natural curve pointed upwards 👌🏽
Can’t wait to get to fish it
Is it frozen over where you are?
Looks like a amazing bait though
Will 50 pound fluorocarbon fit through the hole of the swimbait want to use it on pike here in UK thanks 😊
Sweet!
Locked and loaded 🤌🤌
I’m ready! When we getting an 8”?
5” & 9” coming next. 7” on its way asap
@@Zaldaingerous rite on! 9” is going to be a Brute! Appreciate the response.
Hey Chris I saw u in Moore Oklahoma I have the loaded swimbaits where can I get a flipping hook with no keeper
Good bait.
Just ordered 2...hey Chris, if u see this...these capable of being almost waked just under the surface?
I built them to replace a spinnerbait, whether a light one or a heavy one. If you used to do it with a spinnerbait, these will slide right in.
@@Zaldaingerous awesome, thx. .can't wait to try them
Really looking forward to trying this bait. But man…. I really hope it swims great considering all the back and forth nonsense. I remember your video when you were fishing the loaded bait and it got hung up. You were talking about how it was your “best swimming” bait and you really needed to get that one back. I hope I don’t have to buy three to get one to swim good.
Those were the 7” prototypes (I was still tweaking on) in that video - not the 6” production models
Can you rig it with a treble instead?
Since Rapala acquired 13 fishing, will this change anything for you being sponsored by 13?
I got a bunch of the free style. What’s the best way to rig it it get the best out of it since I don’t have the loaded yet.
Rig the unloaded with a 7/0 1/4oz Trokar swimblade. Killer setup. Lots of head wobble
Hey Chris I got the black back shad color and sometimes my water is stained so will that color work ok, I do plan on ordering the pearl also soon?
Yes that’ll work in stained. Go all white in visibility less than 24”
Thanks man I thought I screwed up and got the wrong color, I was glad to hear you say that was the do it all color
What's the advantage of a 7'9 H vs a 7'9 XH?
My 7'9 XH seems to cast and handle the swimbait better, and since it's a moderate, I'm never worried about setting the hook too hard.
The Heavy just allows you to feel the wiggle a tad better. But there are times when making super long casts I’d upsize to the XH. (TN river chain)
Makes sense. Thanks!
Will straight braided line get caught in the harness when rigging?
I also want to know this
4/0 or 5/0 for a hook replacement?
5/0 on 6” loaded
@@Zaldaingerous Killer, thank you for the response. Reason I ask is that the BM website says 4/0 but you mentioned 5/0 in the video. Been smoking them on the 6" lately, loving it!
Hey Chris I was wondering do you prefer the loaded version or the unloaded version for Florida
Definitely go with the unloaded overall. But if you’re diving into that ffs in FL like some of these guys, go with the shallow loaded
Yeah I normally fish here in Panama city FL area lake called deer point lake.
Thanks brother for sharing hope to one day meet you and be able to fish with ya.
Also was wondering was size owner center pin screw lock pin should I use for the swimbait I noticed there is different sizes I was leaning towards the med or large not too sure was going to order some of the trokar tk178
good good
Very good
Does anyone know what brand of hook comes with it?
It’s one we build. It’s solid and what I use, I don’t replace it. We are working on a Japanese manufactured upgrade pack in case someone needs more or wants to upgrade even further but I have zero issues with the hook supplied.
@@Zaldaingerous Thank you for your response. I'm looking to order some extra hooks to go with it. Were can i order extra hooks from?
Great video. This is more like it. Please do not get caught up in the drama I believe it’s time for you and Ben to sit down and discuss the impact your are having in the industry. How to help it grow by what you both are doing. Because the league’s themselves are creating enough drama. Now that you will both on the same path. The content you put out could and will push a lot of viewers away. I mean ask yourselves do true tournament anglers really care want to watch a couple of pros Bash each other’s sponsors products. Just tell us how to be productive with that product. There is a reason you guys are called Professionals. Not drama queens.
Snell hook make for a better hook up?
Negative. We designed the hook harness to harbor the eye of the hook (with a regular knot) perfectly.
Ugghh im gonna have to order some now.. my poor wallet 😢
Its would be a great bait if you could use it. Bought 3 could only feed the line through on one. Very disappointed.
I guess you have to use 17lb line to feed it so I guess I can't use it for smallmouth thanks chris
I use it for smallmouth all the time
