Kory Potter I feel your pain.... my fishing partner asked me one morning why I only throw soft plastics... because that's all I can afford to break off ....
That isn't a fair comparison. braid will win hands down every time versus mono. Great suggestion, but its got to mono y mono (hehe), fluro vs. fluro, or braid vs braid.
Can’t really compare braided line to mono line. Braided line doesn’t stretch and also rarely snaps. Mono line snaps very easy but also can stretch so doesn’t snap 100% of the time.
Those "cheap" swim baits do well for me. I use them all the time. Sometimes it just depends on the setting and water, or even the operator. Also, they had other, more natural colors of the soft swimbait, so they could have "matched" if they wanted to. Don't knock it when you don't start with an even playing field.
You need to get it by rilling it in slower and kinda pulling it back at the same time so it would look injured and it i would be a easy target for the fish
That feeling when you are hooked and you pray that the bass doesn't shake. lol Oh god.. I know that feeling. The relief you feel when you come out unscathed.
STORM lures are the best cheap lures I have ever used. The eyes don't fall out and the plastics last 3x longer than any other cheaper brand. I'd say that they are as good as expensive baits in my opinion.
@BobTheBuilder, What usually kills my Storm sunfish is bluegill nipping the tails off. If the tail survives, I get 1000's of casts and dozens of bass out of each bait.
Burstahh yeah I have some of the $1 bait but haven’t really used em yet because I have my $4 rattle trap on my line now. I see no point in having such expensive baits besides catching a few more fish. All I even have is a spare rattle trap I bought a few years ago and I don’t plan on opening it, a spinner bait (which I also don’t want to open), and a crank bait with a bill on it (which I am not opening either). Also a few cheap plastic baits
The nice thing about those is that you can swap the skirt and/or blades and have a nice custom spinner for like $3. Just wish they made them in more than one size.
I love videos like this, because if they both perform well, even if the expensive is better, unless it's 100x better, its better to have more of the cheaper ones, at least for me since i tend to lose hooks and lures like nobody's business. Also, I could buy 10 or 20 different kinds of lure and be set for year round fishing instead of having one (admitedly versatile) lure.
Hey Flair, I see all the comments hating on the cheap swimbait u used in this video but all I know is that I've caught a bunch of nice 4-5 lb largemouth on them and also some really nice pike on the storm swimbaits up in new england!!
Fishing lures are a little like American politics; made pretty to catch the fishermen, and not the fish. People seem to be unaware that most colour, particularly red, disappears in a few feet of slightly murky water. Predatory fish usually look up against a bright sky, so black is often the colour to use, presenting the best profile, especially in low light conditions. But plain black wouldn't catch many fishermen, now will it?
Flair I love your videos bro you are freaking hilarious 😂😂😂 but hey see if you can come up go North Carolina and fish Hyco Lake it's right on the Virginia Carolina line pretty much. Heard there was some pretty big bass in it. Would love to see you slay them. Keep kachowing my man
Nathan Dix Hey man. I live here in Halifax County. It surprised me to see someone who is pretty close and who fishes a lake that only 30 minutes away from me.
Did this man... just say chemistry? 🤔😂
😂
Jake Jennewein 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
When?
Biside 1:22
I was never that good at chemistry?!?!😂
I thought the same way I was “ the fuq” wait replay that again
I'm not sure if he was serious about that.
I think it was a joke
r/wooosh
Math much???????
Y'all should have switched baits half way through the fish and make sure the angler isn't the problem.
I was thinking the same thing that would have made it fair
Graham Boyz outdoorz Graham would’ve made it Flair*** lol
I was thinking the same thing that he should have switched the bait.He is lying.
Goture Fishing Tackle shut the fuck up
Ya beat me to it. I was going to say the same thing,
You should do a Muskie fishing video with big swim baits. Thumbs up if you want Flair to do this!👍👍🐟🐟
3:56 flair being hella dramatic😂 fr tho, u acted like u flipped a ten in the boat😂💀
White Rain605 right that's why I like flair's videos he like a little kid with every fish it's awesome
Peric moment
I remember my 1st 2lber
Ashton Robinson lmao true

11:14, fish definitely got concussion😂
charlie roberts and that’s funny why?
Made me laugh thanks!

That cheap one is my favorite swimbait! The bass and bigger bluegill go nuts for it!
just someguy and walleye n pike
The struggle is real when the cheapest swimbait they bought is the only swim bait I have 😭
Kory Potter I feel your pain.... my fishing partner asked me one morning why I only throw soft plastics... because that's all I can afford to break off ....
I have the same bait as the cheep one it’s hella bice
Grizcrisp3 outdoors same
Grizcrisp3 outdoors yea.... kinda hard for buddy to catch fish when he is filming for Flair.... not a fair comparison.
Hahaha and i though i was used a badass bait then this guy comes and classified it as cheap😭
How to be a TH-cam fisherman:

"Around a dollar each... I dont know i was never good at chemistry" 😂
Or 5/3 of a dollar each. Let's just say $1.67 plus tax and get it over with.

So how expensive did the expensive bait ever end up being?

hi
When he said "I was never that good at chemistry" 1:20
I LITERALLY lost it💀💀💀😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍😂😂🙌🙌🙌
I bet you laugh at everything.
Love the cheap vs expensive topic keep them going
Just started watching and I’ve never seen Flair without a beard until now, who knew he was such a fine dime 😳
Facts tho no homo
If he had 1k subs I bet you wouldn't think that
I wasn’t paying attention I just see fishing I click and I didn’t realize this was flair
Caden Benton 😂
victoria sumner I subbed to you because your comment it’s funny so ya😁
''I was never good at chemistry'' 😂😂😂
Do a really cheap rod and reel vs a really expensive rod and reel then use the same lure and line on each of them
And maybe a middel one or average price?
,
3:20 he sounds like faze banks
Charlie Murphy r u eddies brother?
@@mattclark386 He'd have to be a ghost...
Do a cheap vs expensive fishing line challenge?
Get some real cheap mono vs braid or fluro. Just a suggestion.
That isn't a fair comparison. braid will win hands down every time versus mono. Great suggestion, but its got to mono y mono (hehe), fluro vs. fluro, or braid vs braid.
Can’t really compare braided line to mono line. Braided line doesn’t stretch and also rarely snaps. Mono line snaps very easy but also can stretch so doesn’t snap 100% of the time.

Expensive vs cheap 👍👍
I'm more of a soft plastics
California Bassin TV
Do a cheap senko vs. expensive senko. Absolutely enjoy watching the Googan Squad
Thats my buddy that left work to come to the lake!
Expensive vs cheap is always fun!! Pls make more
You need to get it by rilling it in slower and kinda pulling it back at the same time so it would look injured and it i would be a easy target for the fish
“I was never good at chemistry”😂😂😂
Kachowed, a word I'd be happy to never ever hear again.
I noticed it
Kachowed
Jose zamora you kachowed it
I love how you said, “I was never good at chemstiry,” when it was a math ordeal.
flair: calculates a simple math problem in his head
also flair: i was never good at chemistry so idk

yeah but....he's there and you're ahhhh not there....you're here.
Bro you make a drinking game out of that ..
“It was fine.”
“RELAX!”
I remember being that excited when I caught my first bass too.
That was not his first bass. It was his first swim bait fish
I get that excited every time I catch my first fish of the day. If you're not getting excited, you're doing something wrong. Fishing is FUN!
10/10 for committing to that Pike. “Not on my watch”!! Thanks for posting.
14:54 he probably didn't run away for the love of God 😂
2:36
He is giving me the look like, hell yeah
*IM EATING PIZZA FOR BREAKFAST*
Dennis Playz I looked at your comment right at 2:36
“I was never good at chemistry” Me, a chemical engineer- “bruh that’s maths tho”
@Johnathan Lo lmao fr
Throwback to when Flair didn’t start every cut of the video by saying “shhheeeeewww”
Almost a $100 Pike snack!
Yeah, pretty stupid using that up north without a leader. And a net.
He freaks out over a 2 pound bass, “omg I think it’s a big bass dude”
That feeling when you are hooked and you pray that the bass doesn't shake. lol Oh god.. I know that feeling. The relief you feel when you come out unscathed.
You should turn this into a series of cheap vs. expensive like lures, rods, reels. etc
Flair fishing swimbaits = 👌 Welcome to our Cali ways
these guys need to get more into the big swimbait game. they always be like "nah man I can use my cheap one and catch em." need to get a deps 250...
Can we just talk about how he said "I was never good at chemistry" and he should have said MATH🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅😅😅➕👩🔬
Dude that other guy sounds JUST LIKE FaZe Banks!!!!
Who else thinks flair has lost some weight
Like if u agree
Sam Crocker he just cut his beard and it makes him look smaller
Look now

Flair out here condoning me buying expensive fishing lures, my girlfriend isn’t gonna be happy... lol
Imagine in the epic intro he tries to do the ya her pet thing and then just falls in the water!😂😂😂😂😂😂
I would love to see more of the expensive vs cheap videos
The pack of storm swimbaits right above the pack you picked up have caught me a ton of bass!
Got a pack myself
STORM lures are the best cheap lures I have ever used. The eyes don't fall out and the plastics last 3x longer than any other cheaper brand. I'd say that they are as good as expensive baits in my opinion.
BobTheBuilder I know I've coughs my pb bass (15lbs) on the same cheap swimbait the bought
Yeah I caught a 21 pounder on a pumpkin seed
It was a fateful day that day because my Jon boat flipped all of my electronics broke and I caught the bass at the boat launch
@BobTheBuilder, What usually kills my Storm sunfish is bluegill nipping the tails off. If the tail survives, I get 1000's of casts and dozens of bass out of each bait.
Imagine getting hung up and losing the $100 bait. Lmao, I'll stick to the $1 one caught plenty of fish on that same one.
65lb braid bruh
Guess whp actually did loose a $100 bait. Not swim bait but it was at leasts a 6 pound cattie
If that happened, I’d be taking a swim
Burstahh yeah I have some of the $1 bait but haven’t really used em yet because I have my $4 rattle trap on my line now. I see no point in having such expensive baits besides catching a few more fish. All I even have is a spare rattle trap I bought a few years ago and I don’t plan on opening it, a spinner bait (which I also don’t want to open), and a crank bait with a bill on it (which I am not opening either).

“I was never good at chemistry” 😂😂😂😂
Do a cheap reel vs expensive reel so we can see how a low budget reel holds up opposed to a more pricey one.
Do a expensive spinnerbait vs cheap spinnerbait
I've caught a ton of nice bass on a $1 blue and white spinner from wal mart bulk box.
The nice thing about those is that you can swap the skirt and/or blades and have a nice custom spinner for like $3. Just wish they made them in more than one size.
Yes he should make a spinnebait video
I lost it when you said relax😂😂
Do a expensive spinnerbait vs cheap one challenge
I love videos like this, because if they both perform well, even if the expensive is better, unless it's 100x better, its better to have more of the cheaper ones, at least for me since i tend to lose hooks and lures like nobody's business.

Do the black max rod verse a expensive rod
lol black max reel or combo
Yep
M&E Outdoor Adventures Hey my black max reel on a 7 foot vengance rod with 20 lb braid is a pretty good setup for about $90-100 all in all
This is my first combo baitcaster and i like it..
Cheap VS expensive is an awesome idea, people all have a different budget!

I was never good at chemistry anyway😂😂
"Oooohhh You're Kachowwed Dude."😂😂
9:00 one time my cousin caught a bass that was legit half the size of the lure he was using lol
So the fish was smaller than the lure?
JOHN-117 half the size
