As soon as I found out that @StrikeKingLure added to their Bitsy line, I grabbed my credit card and headed to the internet! I have been on an Ultra Light kick for a bit and these baits are going to fall in line nicely.
As always THANK YOU for watching!! - กีฬา
Hey all! Quick update. I went out this morning and fished a few of these. If you like topwater....GET A BITSY DAWG!!! I caught one decent bass and a 4 or 5 dinks, all top water!! What a blast! I also caught one on the Recon before the bite cooled off. Thanks for watching!
I'll definitely be grabbing one of those!
@@bigmouthbrice You wont be disappointed!
Awesome unboxing. You got a lot of great stuff. Actually really love that color from googan the mondo shad. The in line spinner looks really great. Too bad the feathers came out. Well I know from talking with you today you've caught tons of fish on most them Baits. I got to get me a bill Lewis GNat. I've always loved the MR6 from Bill Lewis. Definitely cool they made a smaller one. Solid unboxing buddy 👊
Thanks bud! Yeah man, some great baits! You saw the proof of that. I did fish the Gnat a little. No bites but I am sure it will get hammered. I dont think I ever fished the MR6 but now it's on my radar.
Awesome video Joe👍 Great batch of mini me baits🔥🔥 Good looking baits!
Thanks Jim! I have already caught a few on the Dawg and the Recon. Great baits for sure!
They are good looking "little" baits. I would send that inline spinner back, no reason for that to happen. Nothing I ever tie comes out like that. Glad they are catching you some fish and also glad that you shared this with us. Prost!
Thank man! Yeah I didnt think it was supposed to do that. I may tie them back on myself. Easier than going through the hassle of the return. I hope mine was just a one off issue. Thanks for watching!
They all look good brother! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks Mark!
Hey Joe, good unboxing. Something different. Good luck with the new baits.
Hey thanks man! Yeah, something different and they have already produced a morning of fun!
Awsome baits and that spinner is good looking!!
I think they have a few more in this line up that I need to pick up. So far what I have used, has produced! Thanks for watching!
I live in the big city and heavy pressure. All I use are small baits only.❤
The spot I first fished these is a pretty pressured spot. These produced! Especially the Bitsy Dawg. I can't say enough great things about that lure. I have already ordered a couple of more incase I get mugged by a low hanging branch. HAHA!
They look like they are going to be good!
So far that little top water has been killing it for me! I had a blast fishing that little thing!
About time, brother 😂. Love the video
LOL Thanks bro!
Nice job Joe and just ordered some small baits myslef to give a try. Good to see in your comments they produced for you.
Thanks Larry! I look forward to seeing what you ordered. I had a blast the other day fishing these things. Especially the top water dawg.
Pretty cool to see all those new products. Appreciate ya showing that daiwa 1000 series reel. I need a new ultralight reel and that looks like a good one
Yeah buddy! I have only had the reel out once so far, but so far, so good. I think the LT line from Daiwa is really hard to beat when it comes to spinning gear. Especially for what they are priced at. Kind of the perfect balance of price/quality IMO.
@@ParabellumFishing I agree, daiwa really hits that middle ground, good products.
Great video Joe.
Thanks Rich!
Great overview. The Bitsy Shad would be killer here. Thanks for the unboxing
Thanks Sean! I think the pike would destroy that bitsy Shad! I’d love to see that! lol.
Definitely gonna have to try the Bitsy Dawg! Some really nice looking baits. Thanks for sharing these Joe! Good job my friend! Great to see you my friend!
You really do man! I had a blast with that little thing! Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your constant support!
Great video Joe! I was looking at those Strike King bitsy baits in Academy the other day. Didn't pull the trigger but they do look good. The Bass Pro / Cabela's fishing classic starts on the 7th so I thought I would wait to see what goes on sale. Tight lines man!
Dude , be sure to get you a Bitsy Dawg if nothing else! I had a blast with that thing. Caught the first one in about 10 minutes and then another 4 or 5 dinks after that. It actually walks pretty good too. I think so far, the jerk bait is my least favorite, but that may just be me. It sinks awful quick for what it is. I'll check out the BP sale. Their bargain cave has had some great offerings in the last few months. Thanks man!
@@ParabellumFishing , I'll give that one a try. I still have some of the Academy brand ultralight baits I need to throw too. They had a four pack of different ones I picked up last year or so. Hopefully this year's fishing classic has some good deals. The past few have been a little underwhelming. On a separate note, I read that Rapala bought out 13 Fishing. Should be interesting to see what they come up with.
@@Paul_T843 I heard that too about Rapala and 13. I imagine thats why the blackout rods, and several of their baits and reels went on a dramatic sale. And for the first time, Rapala has soft plastics. I wonder if they are similar to the 13 plastics. I havent bought any yet to test out. And yeah, the sales have been a little weak this year. Even the TW Christmas sales were a little bleh. I guess they know, we'll buy it all anyway LOL
@@ParabellumFishing I tried to leave a comment earlier, but it looks like it didn't post. You should check out the H2OX 5 piece ultralight kit. It's only around $11 and comes with 2 crankbaits, a lipless, a topwater prop bait, and a walking bait that is shaped a lot like the bitsy dawg, but a little smaller. All the baits in the pack are good quality have have nice paint jobs.
@Paul_T843 hey man yeah, I saw you tried to leave a comment but couldn’t find it. I wonder if that’s something I can order online. No academy here.
Pretty cool little baits ! Nice callie baits < and Bass especially around the spawn
Thanks man! I am looking forward to getting the rest of them wet
Good stuff buddy. Baits look great and I'd say that rod/reel combo will be fire!
Thanks man! And yeah so far, killer combo!
Nice video! I wonder how they will cast on a windy day? Nice looking baits Joe.
The jerk bait probably wont cast well at all. The others have a little more heft to them so maybe? Thanks as always Ted!
That was the sexy dawg jr you compared the bitzy dawg to. The full size ones have 3 hooks and the size difference with the bitsy is massive lol.
You are correct! Thanks for pointing it out. Regardless the size tho, that’s a killer line up of baits 👊🏻
@@ParabellumFishing for sure. Sexy dawgs my favorite walking bait too I’ve got a ton I just picked up the bitsy dawg in bone color last night ready to smash em
@@jonathonsmith3220 It’s a blast catching them on that little thing! You’ll enjoy it!
That song will be in my head all day now😆 Also, love the thumbnail! The skin grab test...lol That jerkbait would be perfect for trout up here for sure! In-line spinner looks really nice except for all the feathers coming off 🤔 I don't think I ever had a spinner lose feathers like that. Someone didn't do there job. That Gnat crankbait looked really good! new rod and reel 💪 Good stuff Joe!!!
THANK YOU! Thank you for noticing the thumbnail. I was proud of that! LMAO. That song got my video banned in Russia. Worth it! I am thinking I may take a stab at wrapping the feathers back on myself. something fun to do and I know I cant do a worse job than they did! LOL. Thanks as always homie!
@@ParabellumFishing I started cracking up when I saw that thumbnail! Definitely couldn’t do worse on the feathers. F Putin 😉
I'm not a fan of inline spinners, but I have used them. They definitely shouldn't go bald that easily. Lol. You got some good looking stuff, but that bitsy shad really got my interest. Also, the theme song for this video really helped my self esteem. Lol
Well, since I used that song, none of my Russian followers will be able to see this video. But, it's worth it so you can rest assured that it is alright to be itty bitty buddy. LMAO. Yeah I figured you would like that lipless. I didn't throw it yet but it's on my short list for sure. That dawg tho, I cant say enough about it. Top. Water. Ultralight. All thats needs to be said.
@@ParabellumFishing the Bumble Bug and crickhopper are the closest I have to top water UL. I was surprised at the comparison between those poppers. I know how small the rebel pop r is. Didn't expect the Strike King to be that much smaller.
@@bayoubuckoutdoors yeah but both of those still dive. This dawg, floats and walks. Even the dinks get good blow ups on it! Yeah it’s small but not as delicate as the rebel creek sized popper. If that makes sense?
@ParabellumFishing yeah it makes sense, and I should add, those 2 rebel lures are only top water the way I use them. Lol. I'm seriously considering looking into the bitsy line. I've never been a very good dog walker, but I could figure out a way to make it work for me. Lol
I'm pretty excited about that bitsy dawg I've got a pond in mind it should slay them at. I've never had an inline spinner where the feathers came out like that it has to be a bad one. Great video Joe glad to see your channel doing so well!
Yeah that spinner is a dud. I think I'll try tying the feathers back into place. and bud, absolutely get the bits dawg! I haven't had that much fun fishing in a long time! The biggest one was only 1 lb 13oz, but on that new light rod and 6 pound test, what a blast! Even the dinks I caught had little top water blow ups. And thanks man! It's a fun ride!
Man I’ve been itching to get to bass pro to pick some of these up, they look awesome.
So far, I can say definitely get the Dawg! The jerk bait was ok in the water but not my favorite. Thats all I got a chance to throw so far.
Bitsy jig has always been there with my maribou hair jigs. They are great for around the pier.
The whole world of ultra light is pretty cool! It can definitely make a catch more challenging and exciting.
I see the soft plastic micros becoming more popular for more than just ice fishing anymore. The hardbaits are simply insane and have great detail for their size.
Love that bitsy jerkbait! The old flicker minnow/shad used to be the “small” version. Now those bitsy jerks look awesome!
Definitely something I’m going to look at more in the future. Thanks for the recommendation on the rod and reel. That new Piscifun Carbon Prism definitely deserves a better pairing than what I currently have. I’m gonna have to give it a try.
Great video Joe!👊💥🎣
I tell ya bud, I had an absolute blast catching dinks on this stuff last weekend. The Dawg is my favorite! If you only get 1, get the Dawg! The jerk bait looks good, but didn't perform as hoped. Sinks a little faster than I thought it would. But still hooked a fish on it.
The Duckett rod is pretty nice. A little stiffer than the Presso in my last video but it's also rated for slightly heavier lures. I too have been buying the UL plastics. just too much fun not to and almost a guaranteed no skunk.
I almost grabbed a Piscifun reel to pair up with the rod, but the Daiwa was on sale. I have heard some great things about their spinning reels. I am sure I will add one to my arsenal sooner or later.
Thanks Joe!
Very cool baits, cant wait to see what you end up catching on them.
Probably more dinks. Lol. Thanks Shane!
That little red eyed shad is looking pretty sweet, that popper looks good to, not sure about the others- I would probably have to break out the spincast to cast them though. Nice video
the shad is 3/16 oz. I would bet you can wield that easily on the black max. Some of the others tho would probably be much easier on the spincast. So far, the top water dawg has been my favorite!
Great video buddy keep up the great work and I really enjoyed seeing this
Thanks man! And thanks for the heads up on the Gnat. I didn't get anything on it yet, but I did throw it around and I like what I saw.
Those Tiny Baits look great, and as I can say from experience, big fish also like tiny baits. Just imagine a 4lb Bass on one of those! That's unfortunate about the feathers coming off that inline spinner, but just about any thing will hit an inline spinner. I haven't used my Ultra-light gear in a long while, might be time to put them back in play, at least until the pads and grass grow in, Haha.
You are right about that! Heck, the big one I got was less than 2 pounds but I haven't had that much fun reeling in a fish in a while! Definitely get them out while you wait for the pads to come back.
"Not enough fish catches on video...." Boy, I know that feeling lately!! Great video Joe, I like Strike King products, but I think Parabellum Baits might be an even higher quality!!
Aww shucks! Making me blush! LOL. Thanks bro! These may be smaller than you would be happy with, but they do catch some fish!
I love the light tackel stuff!!
Me too! Even the dinks feel like tanks on light gear
@@ParabellumFishing yea buddy!!
Nice video Joe, hey what ever happened to that reel that started making tons of noise, be safe
Thanks man! That was that Kast King reel. They did send me a replacement pretty quickly and their customer service was great. The replacement however, worth $25. Not a penny more LOL
Well, other than that spinner where the feathers were falling off...everything looks solid.
I'm skeptical about the tiny jerkbait, but I'd love to see what that could do. All great ultralight stuff.
Looks like the video is gaining a lot of traction as well. Congrats, man.
Yeah, that spinner could have been built better, but it has caught me several fish, so I guess they dont mind.
You are right to be skeptical about the jerk bait. Not a big fan honestly. It sinks. And it sinks quicker than it should for its size. It doesnt function like a jerk bait, more like a crank bait. I did hook a bass on it, so it technically it works, but not my favorite in the line up.
Yeah man this vid broke out ! I didnt see that coming. Must be the good looking guy in the thumbnail LMAO
They also make a bitsy minnow
I got one after this video but I haven’t fished it yet. Do you know if it’s any good?
@@ParabellumFishing It is ok. I find the front and back hooks constantly get snagged on each other or the front hooks get caught on the line. I am going to try some suggested mods on it such a smaller front hooks and a weight dot to have it dive down deeper.
Yep, definitely gonna be getting some of each of those for my creek adventures! I'm telling my wife it's your fault I've gotta buy more tackle 😂. Good stuff Joe!
That's fair, I blamed you for the new rod! LOL I was a little skeptical at first, but that rod handles the fish just fine. Comfortable to throw too. Thanks for the recommendation.
@ParabellumFishing 🤣 I ordered the bitsy spook, trap and popper along with some other stuff as soon as I finished your video! I love my crappie slayers, I've got the 5'6" and the 7'. I use the 5'6" the most.
@@BreamBassBeyond I think they'll work great in the creeks for you! I wanted the 5'6, but it was out of stock. Also why I ended up with the 100 size reel. little longer rod can handle it. And Daiwa tends to run small anyway. Funny how we all watch each others videos, and it ends up costing us all money! LOL
Nice video!!! New subscriber I found you threw Neilbone fishing
Awesome thank you! Happy to have you! Neil is a good dude
Ive fished my whole life and the in line spinner has landed many bass in my boat, I've actually had faaar more luck on an in line with bass than I ever had a traditional bass spinner
Man I was out fishing this one today and hit bass, bluegill, and a cichlid. It may be my new favorite lure! lol. 👊🏻
Just subscribed after stumbling across the video looking for bfs baits. Awesome video on details! These are going to be awesome paired with my newest toy. I have a KastKing Zephyr with 8lb test Suffix 832 paired with a medium action 7ft Shakespeare prolight till I can decide on a 7ft range ML or L action rod.
Thanks for subbing man! I hope you like what im putting out. Sounds like a great combo! I have a Zephyr spinning reel and I really like it. All my light baits are thrown on spinning gear for now. I haven't taken he plunge into the BFS world....yet! LOL. So far on these baits, I LOVE the bitty dawg. I am not thrilled with the jerk bait. The lipless has caught multiple species. Thanks again for watching and welcome!!
I fish BFS and traditional baitcasters and i can tell ya, that the bait that catches everything is the Strike King Mr Crappie Electric chicken. Everything hits this bait from bluegills to stripers.
One of my favorite small plastics is the Strike King Joker. I have caught everything from bream to peacocks with them. I ordered a pack in electric chicken recently. Ok you are the right guy to ask this, did they change their electric chicken pattern? The pack I ordered was a pink body with green tails. Not the swirled laminate electric chicken I am used to.
@@ParabellumFishing the packs i bought have the pink grub looking main body with a green paddle tail. Unfortunately I just started using this bait around 4-5 months ago so not sure what they looked like before. This bait have saved me from skunk days and has become a crutch bait for me, lol. Just subbed btw.
@@DrinkWetPoopFishing I guess thats the answer then, they have in fact changed it. Clearly it still works LOL but it used to be more of a laminate that bled together. Bobby Garland plastics have the same style. I get the crutch bait thing LOL. I think we all have one. Thanks man! 👊🏻
@ParabellumFishing I use both, yes, I can tell the color pattern is a bit different and the color isn't as bright as it was before. Now, it's more like a darker tone color on both mr crappie and Bobby's. I liked the before color then the Now color. It still works tho.
@@ckong46 oh Yeah absolutely still works. I just prefer the old color I guess. Not sure why they changed it.
Spinners are One of the best peacock bass lures ever, but that one should go back! 2nd to only a small twitch bait!
I never thought to use a spinner for peacock! That makes a lot of sense tho! Thanks man!
@@ParabellumFishing 7 outta 10
Peacocks caught on lures I’d bet are spinners. Most use live bait, I’m not into that. I fished the creeks and rivers in Pa. And we used a lot of spinners in the creeks for trout, a while back someone turned me on to a spinner for the Ps down here and they just flat out eat those spinners! Ima try that mini jekbait, Ps love small fast moving jerk baits as well! Thanks for the vid! Tight lines to ya 🎣
@@barryhowell9 I think most of my peacock catches are on a jerk bait or small paddle tail. I’m not a fan of using live bait. I tell ya tho man I am going to try throwing some spinners at them now. I really appreciate the tip! 👊🏻
@@ParabellumFishing I get em pretty good too on Jerkbaits, actually the YZ 3DS and the Megabass vision110 jr gets smoked as well
@barryhowell9 I like the YZ. I also have good luck with the provoke and believe it or not, the rebel and smithwick jerk baits do a great job too. And I am not too upset if I break one or cast it into a tree.
Does the jerkbait float or suspend? It looks exactly like the Ozark Trail tiny jerkbaits from Walmart that I love. The OT's "suspend" or sink slowly. They slay small bass on light tackle, good multispecies lures as they'll get big bluegills, crappie, etc.
Actually, it sinks. kind of fast too. I threw it for a little bit the other day. I did get a hit on it, but one head shake and he got off. For me, it sinks much quicker than it should for something so small. Not my favorite of the ones I bought so far. I will look into the OT jerks you mentioned. I may have to look online. My local Walmarts don't have a great selection of the Ozark stuff. Thanks for watching!
I am falling heavy into B F.S love the small stuff
I am currently still using spinning gear. I’m afraid if I go BFS, I may go too far and go broke! Lol
@@ParabellumFishing that does happen lol
That lil goon bait looks pert good
pert good fo sho! 👊🏻
Brother can you check on Bass boxing see if he's good he's not posting thank you. Size does matter don't let um bs ya lol
I've been speaking with him all night actually. He's doing well, just been real busy. I know for a fact he placed an order recently that I believe he is planning to show off on camera. I am headed out in the morning to see if can get some bitsy catches on camera!
Contact their customer service. They will take care of you. Service is excellent
Tackle warehouse does have great customer service. I think I’m going to keep it and try to retire the treble dressing myself. For grins and giggles
@@ParabellumFishing contact strike king directly. I was referring to them. I had an issue recently and they made up for it and then some, to be vague. It’s worth reaching out to them
I bet the panfish will have hooks all in their faces
So far, several species of panfish, and some bass!
You got a bad spinner, that's not normal.
Yeah that seems to be the consensus. I think tho, instead of returning it, I may try to tie the travel myself. I can’t do any worse than they did! Lol
The Jerkbait version of these are trash. They dont swim at all. I have thrown them on everything from 2 -6-pound test and they loop hard i the water not swimming true at all.
After fishing it, I kind of agree with you. Not my favorite of the Bitsy line. I thought maybe my line was too big, but if you’re getting bad results on 2 pound, it ain’t the line. Thanks for watching! 👊🏻
