Most interesting bait there Z-man coming out with another unique bait. Glad to see you are better man. 👍
Thanks man, one day at a time!
Z-man is the best fishing lure brand ever. Best soft plastics and the most unique hard baits.
Yes they are! Agree💯!
I like these lures especially for night top water. I found the retrieve that works pretty well is, burn it, then abruptly stop for a second, and as you're restarting pull your rod to the opposite side, so you're creating a zig zagging pattern, kind of like walking the dog. I've caught a few doing this. Have caught nothing with a straight retrieve.
I’ve caught on both, but I have to agree with you - the pause on this REALLY attracts the strikes. 👍
You just gave me a great idea for Drone footage!!! That is definitely a unique lure, thanks for sharing.
Glad you liked it and thanks for checking it out Rick!
Bass are going to bite this as something they haven't seen. It's a new idea on the topwater concept. I will definitely buy a few of these.
Agreed! They are definitely an interesting bait and I look forward to putting it thru more tests next season. Thanks for stopping in!👊💥🎣
Just picked up a few gettin out tomorrow first light💪🎣😎
Sweet! Let me know how you do!
Cool looking bait. Love the action. I can always count on you Joe. I’ve been wondering about this bait. Thanks buddy.
Thanks Joe!👊💥🎣
Hi Joe, nice review video on this new crazy looking topwater bait from Zman!! My friend @Henri-Vine Fishing recommended your videos!!
Awesome! Welcome to the channel! Henri is good people💯
@@live2fishofficial Thank you! Indeed he is a good guy!
Those hooks look awesome! Love the fall fishing. You're back!
Definitely hooks that won’t need to get swapped out!
Great show and tell and review on this lure Joe. I like the action and its look! Will need to get a few of those for next seasons top water.
Glad to see you back on your 2 feet recovered from Covid. Tight lines my friend.
Thanks Henri! It was some much needed therapy outside today for that one, but I’m definitely paying for it…glad you enjoyed it!
@@live2fishofficial is it okay with you if I share the link to this video on my Facebook page?
@@HenriVineFishing always - thank you!
That thing looks crazy, but I’m sure catches fish. Great to see you back at it.
Thanks Rich!👊💥🎣
I just came across one of these at Dicks. Last and only one they had. Found some other colors on Amazon. I target northern snakehead. Generally we use weedless setups for them because of the habitat they like, but these things are going to tear them up in particular situations. They are notorious short strikers. They miss a lot. With the treble hooks they just gotta get close lol
My concern is durability. Snakehead are rough on lures. I’ve had them bend even heavy duty hooks. We’ll find out Monday. I’m excited for the potential on this one.
@@cryptobotboi4459 we don’t have snakeheads here but we do have bowfin, but I’ve yet to catch one on them. While largemouth and smallmouth bass aren’t nearly as vicious as snakehead, I can tell you that they’ve held up to some pretty strong hits.
Let me know how you do with them and if you run into any issues. Tight lines!
really beautiful! Thank you for sharing this wonderful footage!
You bet - glad you enjoyed it!
Very different looking topwater lure. Looks pretty good in the water for sure. Thanks for sharing with us Joe! Hope you are feeling better brother.
Thank you Chris, appreciate you checking it out!
Have never used a buzzbait, inetresting looking lure. Great video Joe
Thanks Sean! We will see how the pike and muskie like it here
Thats a cool looking lure! Nice to see you back!!
Thank you!
Great to see you back at it and nice review. That is really different looking and looks like something that might work on Cod. Hope your feeling back to 100% soon. Cheers
Thanks Larry! I’m about 60%, but moving in the right direction finally.
glad you're back at it! Looks like an interesting bait. Way to demo it :)
Thanks Mike! One day at a time, trying to get back to normal
Awesome review Joe!!! It's definitely some thing different and I believe it will get bit!!! I'm glad that your feeling better brother!!! I'll definitely have to check it out especially since my favorite topwater bait is the buzzbait!!! Keep doing what your doing brother 👍
Thanks Patrick! It’s definitely unique and I think that’s an advantage when it comes to throwing something they haven’t seen (or heard) before. Tight lines man!
Good stuff. Now where have all the bass gone😢?
Thanks Joli - if I had the strength to get my UltraSkiff out there I’d be hunting them deeeeeeeeep! Unfortunately I think I’ll be done for the season now…
How’ve the backwaters been treating you?
Watching a guy review this lure in saltwater, the redfish were definately attracted to it, but the fish kept coming off. Not sure it will effect bass hookups, but it seems that the rear hook needs to be longer because of the blade. The only ones he landed had the middle hook in them.
Thanks for the review
Thanks! I’ll have to check that out. The first time I saw them I thought of that. I thought the blade would be like those dental X-ray slides they put in your mouth, but for the fish as it’s trying to strike from behind and getting in the way of that treble hook.
Thanks for watching and the feedback!
Great review of the weirdest lure on the planet
Thanks Kumbo!
What a wild lookin bait! Great review/test run. I got one of these the other day and I was pretty bummed about the color selection. I think bone and black are the only ones I'd ever try. But it looked good in the water for sure. Just mind numbing how slow you have to crank it compared to a WP or even a traditional buzzbait. But it definitely caught some fish. I think this is going to be some pike candy for sure.
Thanks for checking it out Jared! Yeah, for all that weight it really shocked me how quickly it planes and doesn’t need to be cranked that fast. I’m shocked people would sleep on this one - it’s gonna get slammed 💯!
I've been following the Hellraizer since ICAST 2022 haven't seen it locally in my area yet and I look frequently...!!!
Same here - been trying to order these since July and FINALLY got them! Well worth the wait, I just hope I can get some action on them this season.
Great production!
Thank you!👍
Here for it, broski!
LFG!👊💥🎣
@@live2fishofficial "Looking For Gays"? Okay (Shrugs)...what should I say now?
"You got me pegged!" ? hahaha
@@Maplecook 😂🤣
I’ll clean it up for you! “Let’s f$&@ing GOOOOO!”
@@live2fishofficial I'm just being a sh*thead with ya...lmaoooooo
@@Maplecook not you!? Say it isn’t so!
I bet that would work awesome for pike or tigers…. One time 😂
😂🤣
I missed this one and I really want to try some of these lures here in Australia, I actually found some similar stuff at one of the tackle shops near me 👍🏼
But not hellraiser, that is something I definitely want to try find these in the future
Definitely something I have only seen so far on Live 2 Fish, you definitely had that right haha
That's a pretty cool action it puts off I really think it will catch our Aussie bass just as well 👍🏼
Since it's sinking you could also use it sub surface which is pretty cool, or even a stop start retrieve, plenty of options for that thing...
Can't wait to see you catch on it 🎣
It’s definitely unique! I’ve been trying our various retrieves, but I can’t get it to do much sub surface because that blade action is so prominent that it surfaces quickly.
I am having some fun with it treating it like a jerkbait. It falls and sputters really well.
Thanks for watching!
Those lures look great but they're not strong enough for saltwater. I saw a guy catch redfish on 2 of them and the lures were ruined. The wire broke. I hope they'll fix it so it's good for snook and stuff.
Never thought about their limitation in saltwater and the species there. Good point!
Played around with it on a few ponds so far nothing doing. Its definitely wonky and hard to keep it a consistent float. But ill try in brackish water soon
What type of rod and line have you been using? I haven’t had any issues and am enjoying working out different retrieve styles.
@@live2fishofficial falcon rod 7' medium heavy 20 lb braid suffix. Maybe need to swap to fluorocarbon? I can keep it up but I have to reel it faster and then the action is off.
@@DV87777 I run about the same rod but I am running 12lb fluoro. That may definitely be the issue.
@@live2fishofficial 👍
Cool concept. Was it creating line twist or was it just the way it looked in that one clip? Definitely looks like it’d be effective
That was actually the fluoro memory from the palomar knot. It coiled up as I tightened it up. Moistened it but it might have had too much friction.
The weight on the lure keeps it tight when casting and it doesn’t hang up on itself at all. Very good design!
Gonna want to change the hooks and the wire connecting the plate on the back is not very durable.
You sure? These hooks seem pretty stout and super sticky
Hey buddy! Good to see ya on camera again. Hope you're feeling better. Great review on your part, but, this is a pass for me. I'm a big fan of Zman overall but this one just doesn't do it for me.
Thanks Joe! I was skeptical right up to the first cast. Once I felt that vibration and felt the action I knew this would be a killer topwater lure here in MI
Great lure but got to wind it quick! Use a fast reel👍
It actually surprised me how slow of a retrieve keeps it on plane. It does sink fast tho. Hope you had a great birthday my man!
@@live2fishofficial I did and Thank you Joe!
Have you had any problems with the blade and hook part breaking off on the back? I've watched a few videos of the back part breaking off because of the wire weakness.
Not at all. I have several of them and have had zero issues with that. If I do, I’ll be sure to put it out there!👍
@@live2fishofficial thanks for the info I guess the guy who was breaking his was catching red fish on them. Guess these are mainly designed for bass.
@@davidkendall7333 that would make sense. I know another guy was having an issue with snakeheads, totally understandable.
I will say that is A CRAZY design. Im not sold on it just cause its a little different. But it is 1000% something the haven't seen.
The best lures a pan often be what the fish haven’t seen yet either. Thanks for checking it out!
Magnificent job with the review of the product bro! I am not exactly feeling the lure design though... especially at even 12 bucks that thing is ugly 🤣😂👍. I would have to see it producing tons of fish to overlook the ugly for sure lol. Anyways, hope you are feeling better bro!!!
Thanks man! Yeah, it sure has a different look, but I’m betting the bass haven’t seen anything like it. Just like the whopper plopper years ago, I think this will be a big producer topwater just for its different approach.
That thing looks crazy, but I’m sure catches fish. Great to see you back at it.
