YES Debo, do a Best of Gear video too!!!! Best spinning rods and reels, best baitcasting rods and reels, and ESPECIALLY best lines! I want to hear about the braid you like to use on both your baitcaster and spinning reels, do you use the same braid on both? I'd also like to know if you go straight fluoro or mono on any reels, and why. Finally, what leader line do you like to use with your braid? Equally of interest, what knot do you use to connect your braid to your leader? You don't need to do a knot tutorial, but I'm curious about the knot my favorite TH-camrs use. I have actually committed myself to learning and tying the FG Knot to connect my fluoro to my braid.
Best fishing TH-camr there is. Glad I found your channel earlier this year and have learned so much from you. Thanks for all the great content and all the best in the New Year!
Really like your reviews of tackle. No hype, no bovine puckey, just an honest opinion based on your experience with said product 👍. Please do a vid about the best/worst rods and reels. This was a fun vid to watch.
I like that you covered mid-priced variants of these lures. I buy most of my tackle based on Tactical Bassin videos but they tend to like the premium brands which can be painful on the wallet.
Agreed 110%!!! Im not buying a $25 jerk bait fishing from the bank and I can’t go get it.🤦🏾♂️ they are really but good but i wish they would do a “budget friendly” section
I gotta agree with the powerbait craw, it over all felt to big, bulky and stuff. I did catch a few on it the day we stopped at that fishy spillway. I feel like a proud poppa to hear you walking so much about the war Eagles, the spinner baits are amazing. I like how they run in the water and the durability is great. Ps, river to sea, I have the Ish Monroe version. Those come with the rattle on the back, I told you for a solid season and a half about how awesome they are. They last both of mine are all piked up and filled with holes. I have nothing bad to say about them
Because of you dizzle have gotten into the finesse feeshn. Recently got some of the lucky craft baits and provoke 106 and can't wait to try in the spring
Yes best and worst gears is definitely something to make a video on. Perfect , so many lines don’t live up to their stats breaking point , reel falling apart, and rods like dizzle (line guide snaps off )
Good vid dude! If I had a best new/worst new lure of 2020, I think I'd have to go with the ol stickbait as best, never used one before this year and it caught me tons! For worst, I'd say the drop shot, but maybe I just haven't had the right color yet, not gonna give up!
I didn’t get to do much fishing this year because of work. So I spent more time watching fishing than fishing. The bulk of the fishing I did was at night. Most days I spent fishing daylight hours was off shore deep water spots. There is a big difference from bank fishing in lure choices. Two lures I used that are unusual; but have been around a while; are a floating Rat-L-Trap and a Z-Man Elaz-Tech Pop Shadz. I fished water where it was only a few feet deep and dropped into 20 feet deep in just a few yards. Casting blind is a good name for what you do at night. You hear a big splash and cast to the sound. Maybe nothing happens for 20 casts; then you hear loud splash and feel your rod being jerked from your hands; it makes things much more interesting. When your drag starts letting line out like you hooked a passing car it’s a Striper; if it bulldogs it’s a bass; both are great fun. Now; I know you had bad luck using Dark Sleepers; the secret is get some smaller ones in quarter ounce. Don’t work them like a jig; work them like a swimbait. And most of all; don’t buy the ones that cost $7 dollars; buy the Chinese ones that cost $2.50 and order some now. They work best in clear water and they catch everything in spring. They are just fineness jigs in disguise. Don’t let them fall into the rocks; swim them above the dang rocks. (Float-N Trap ⅓ ounce) (Stumpknocker 3-inch) I used single inline hooks too. My Buddy is still figuring out how that works; but it does. I was catching two to his one and some nights his none.
The gear video should be fun! Hope you get to it. I’m shock I didn’t see a chatter bait on your list. That was my go to this year! I was smacking them all over the place!
My stand out baits this year was the Z-man hula skirt (junebug), Zoom flukes(Pearl), Scum Frogs(All of the colors and sizes), Whopper Plopper (Loon &Bone 90). Would love to see the best/worst gear video! Happy New Years, Brother ...be safe, and tight lines!
Awesome! Always giving me good items to add to my TW wishlist!! Good viDEBO as always! Hope you’re doing well! PS- I had a Savage Gear glidebait split apart on me last fall (19 dollar lure) Thinking back it definitely landed on rocks and docks both several times. You made a good point and I’m definitely going to be more cautious
You compared the cane walker to the gunfish and that was exactly right, the gunfish 117 has more of a “one knocker” sound to it. The gunfish walks amazing, spits great and the colors just make it worth it 100% American Shad is my favorite LC color because no one else makes one exactly like it
I know what I’m about to spend all my fishing giftcards on now lol. Wanted to use jigs more and really appreciate how you talk about the eyelet design. Always respect your honesty with all lures 👊🏼⚖️💯
Was surprised at the success I had on the Rapala Rip Stops , I'm a vision 110 guy but they slayed them this year, caught most of my big fish on the jackhammer no surprise there , my best topwater this year was the Evergreen SB 105 and my best lipless this year was the Yozuri Rattlin vibe, I literally caught over 200 bass on it and my PB striper
My best performing lures of the year were shaky head (specific standouts being the Missile Baits Quiver 6.5, Roboworm straight tail worm in SXE Shad, and the Powerbait Water Bug in coppertreuse), the Terminator finesse and pro series jigs (Terminator makes some of the best jigs IMO but they don't seem to get talked about much), the Berkley Wakebull, KVD Toad Buzz, Sexy Dawg, Zman TRD BugZ, Biospawn Exoswim in sungill, Rabid Baits Rabid Craw (they aren't very durable but the hair tipped claws is unique and certainly catches fish), and the Googan Trench Hawg. But my number one bait has to be the Strike King Shim E Stick. It's just a stick bait but it outperformed every other stick bait I fished this year. The baby bass color in particular slayed 'em. I caught my PB 5lb 1oz using one on weightless Texas rig. A surprise I'll throw in is the Karl's Amazing Baits line of lures from Shop Karl's. For more of a budget house brand they're actually pretty solid quality. Least favorite and/ore disappointing baits for me were the Lunkerhunt Phantom Spider (actually got some blowups but couldn't get a hookup and it just takes on wait and doesn't work consistently) and, similar to your disappointment with the Champ Craw I was letdown by the Jordan Lee Champ Minnow drop shot bait. I got it in the HD bluegill and the bait looks super realistic, but I don't know, it doesn't seem to have very good action and I just didn't catch as much as I expected. Chatterbaits in general were down for me this year too. I caught some nice ones last year but this year I didn't catch a single fish on a chatterbait. I'll go ahead and add the Googan Zinger as well. It seems like a quality lure but I couldn't get even a strike on it let alone a single catch, despite spinnerbaits being one of my favorite confidence baits.
Also I had good luck this year on some gary Yamamoto spinnerbaits that Walmart had on clearance in a random spot I noticed grabbed a few they where killing it and also the classic rebel pop-R for me on those early morning late night calm waters
Man where do yall find these war eagle jigs???? I can't seem to find them anywhere without going online. Great video bro, I really like the kvd sexy Dawgs too(don't sleep on the Jr., it's money too)and love the war eagle spinners too, been using both for a few years now
Debo my favorites were live target bluegill square bill, *silent orange and yellow storm square bill, had a jerk bait from lucky tackle box i did good on and i don't know the name and cant get another, *Berkley bullet pop in bluegill color, a jenko walking bait, pop r as always, really impressed with punching the z man turbo crawl in the green pumpkin orange, and a smaller fire tiger looking strike king spinner with indiana blade. The bust baits this year was the scum frog, and chatter bait. I had one okay day with the chatter bait. All around bad luck with frog all together and i usually always do good with frogs. Still working the big glide baits and swimbaits with no luck yet. Except for the jackel gantrelle i dis really good on beds with it. Once they left beds i didn't do a thing with it.
One of the ones I got from your channel is the chatter bait custom from tackle warehouse. Better colors and better action than the normal chatters but not the crazy Jack hammer price. Good stuff. Also I had a ton of luck on that reaction innovation pocket rocket on a wacky rig. Before I got a casting combo, this was my go to light tackle bait for spinning rigs. Sleeper pick: the Booyah pond magic spinner bait. Way smaller size (1/4 oz I think? Maybe 3/16) makes the blades spin at slower retrieves. Good for those neighborhood ponds with guys beating the banks most weekends.
Two of my big standouts this year was the megabass spark shad and the evergreen jackhammer. The spark shad on a Okashira or the Okashira screw head absolutely caught fish. Most guys fishing the area I was in couldn’t believe the numbers and size I was catching on this. Best colors were real and Hiuo did the damage.
I had the rust issue also on a zman chatterbait and a EWG hook. I had a Yamamoto plastic on them both and they both rusted. Its the only common denominator I could figure out on my end.
My best bait for 2020 hands down was the 6th Sense Curve 55, what a great little crankbait. I also flipped and pitched the 6th Sense Stroker Craw and did very well with it.
Sixth sense baits are pretty great. I have a really hard time fishing my megabass baits unless I know the water. I lost 5 in a weekend trip and it stung.
The Choppo and A3 anglers clear bladed tungsten underspin caught me some pretty good fish this year. Didn’t get to fish a whole lot since our public waters got shut down due to covid
I love these videos! I think I had the hardest time fishing a shaky head this year and I had the most success with a fluke. I’m gonna try a Ned rig and those KVD waking baits this year and hope they are good for me here in Illinois as they are for you in Iowa.
Those lunkerhunt reactors are garbage. Saw them on clearance at my local shop and immediately knew why, no action at all under normal speeds. Had the same experience where you really had to haul the rod up and reel quick. Took the hooks and split rings off it to use on other baits as needed and the lures I added to a sorta wall decoration I'm working on. Have been really impressed with the newer berkley lures, especially their jerkbaits called the skinny cutter I think. Suspends really well.
The Chatterbait really started to work for me in the late fall. Twice I caught 2 5 pounders then a 3 pounder back to back on a Z man CHARTREUSE and White with a Spike it dyed White fluke with CHARTREUSE garlic dye. The fluke movement is better than a paddle tail. The bigger bass love the way it moves with the vibration of the blade. Shawn.
Great Video. Especially appreciated the finesse jig section. We Like what we like; some of the baits you love, I personally may not and I’m sure that it’s vice-versa.
One of my favorite videos of the year right here!
Means a lot brother! Thanks for taking time to watch 👊
Would love to see the best/worst gear too!
I love the honest opinion of baits that you actually used. Too many people just sticking to one company and bashing everything else.
☝🏼this
Definitely would love to see a best and worse reel/gear of 2020! The underspin somehow worked for me this year. More than the t-rig or drop shot.
YES Debo, do a Best of Gear video too!!!! Best spinning rods and reels, best baitcasting rods and reels, and ESPECIALLY best lines! I want to hear about the braid you like to use on both your baitcaster and spinning reels, do you use the same braid on both? I'd also like to know if you go straight fluoro or mono on any reels, and why. Finally, what leader line do you like to use with your braid? Equally of interest, what knot do you use to connect your braid to your leader? You don't need to do a knot tutorial, but I'm curious about the knot my favorite TH-camrs use. I have actually committed myself to learning and tying the FG Knot to connect my fluoro to my braid.
Definitely do rods and reels!!!
I really liked this video. As a newer angler, it’s great to hear some advice on what lures generally work better than others.
Get this man to 100k this is by far one of the most down to earth fishing channels
Appreciate that a lot my friend +
I agree 100%
He's here now
Yes, do a gear rig too. I always enjoy/trust your honesty! Thank you! Go Hawks!
My standout lures were the super fluke and a swim jig. I'd love to see a best and worst gear of 2020!
Best fishing TH-camr there is. Glad I found your channel earlier this year and have learned so much from you. Thanks for all the great content and all the best in the New Year!
Appreciate that a lot my friend 👊
My wife: Debo looks like that guy from Backstreet Boys.
Me: AJ?
My wife: Yeah! Every time I see him I think of Backstreet.
Me: 🤦🏻♂️...(why?)
“Backstreets back all right!”
I would love to see a best and worst gear of 2020 video. also the blooper video you talked about during the live stream.
Now we need the “Best of ‘20” outtakes and blooper reel. Last year’s was great!
Lunker hunt gets hype from their cool looking top waters but honestly all their lures aren’t the best quality and don’t perform very well.
Yeah they are hit or miss some of there stuff is nice but others aren’t
I had great success with the spider. Absolutely killed it with that bait.
Yeah totally agree had a lot of lures that were actually great but were done for after the first fish
Debo can you pls start listing the names of the products you review so we dont have to take notes? That would be so helpful...thank you in advance
Really like your reviews of tackle. No hype, no bovine puckey, just an honest opinion based on your experience with said product 👍. Please do a vid about the best/worst rods and reels. This was a fun vid to watch.
You nailed it man, that's all I'm doing 👊👊👊
Love it man! Always giving that personal feedback without knocking or bashing.
I like that you covered mid-priced variants of these lures. I buy most of my tackle based on Tactical Bassin videos but they tend to like the premium brands which can be painful on the wallet.

I’m I crazy or did you guys also use and have good luck with the Keitech finesse jigs as well?
Love the war eagle spinnerbaits, they run amazing
@@briano3767 they caught some in a recent video
@@briano3767 Debo might have used them, I haven’t
@@briano3767 yep, those keitech micro spin jigs are awesome!
Because of you dizzle have gotten into the finesse feeshn. Recently got some of the lucky craft baits and provoke 106 and can't wait to try in the spring
Yes best and worst gears is definitely something to make a video on.
Perfect , so many lines don’t live up to their stats breaking point , reel falling apart, and rods like dizzle (line guide snaps off )
I haven't used any of the Lunkerhunt that has impressed me. Please do a best and worst gear. Rods, reels, line ect. Good video 👍

Love it great show on Baits, and Lures, Yes I think the best and the worst of gear would be interesting? Thanks for Sharing

i love these type of vids debo !
By far my favorite fishing TH-camr
Means the world to me man!
Love the video Debo! My wife, not so much, because I’ll be adding to Tackle Warehouse’s end of year bottom line. Happy New Year to you!
Awesome! Always giving me good items to add to my TW wishlist!!
Good viDEBO as always! Hope you’re doing well!
PS- I had a Savage Gear glidebait split apart on me last fall (19 dollar lure) Thinking back it definitely landed on rocks and docks both several times. You made a good point and I’m definitely going to be more cautious
Would love to see a best/worst gear video OR a how I organize by tackle when I go bank fishing video
You compared the cane walker to the gunfish and that was exactly right, the gunfish 117 has more of a “one knocker” sound to it. The gunfish walks amazing, spits great and the colors just make it worth it 100% American Shad is my favorite LC color because no one else makes one exactly like it
Debo, you gotta try that GB air tail rattler on that Neko rig. Smashed em on that this year. Great vid.
Awesome vij! Can't wait best and worse rod and reel set ups. Have a happy New year!
Great video. Glad you picked the provoke as one of your favorites. Keep them coming! Watching from Nebraska.
I’ve had poor Luck with lunker hunt products
Cool ideas and poor quality. I can normally catch a couple fish on the lures then they get trashed
Love the videos Debo, a list of gear used or mentioned in videos in the description would be awesome
I know what I’m about to spend all my fishing giftcards on now lol. Wanted to use jigs more and really appreciate how you talk about the eyelet design. Always respect your honesty with all lures 👊🏼⚖️💯
Oh Look, Debo is taking tackle and me with a Tackle warehouse gift card! 😎
great video ! i agree with everything🤙🏽 i ordered a bunch of booyah jigs and most of them were rusty .
Yup! Don’t be shy, let’s see that gear old man.
Chasebaitsusa The Smuggler (Sparrow)... I caught a ton of bass with it
13:11
AHA! I knew Debo is really Canadian!
Love the videos bro. You should do the same with your setups/combos.
Thats awesome your wearing a Cornhusker shirt under that Hawkeyes zip up.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Psh...I'd have to be pass out drunk to wear a husker shirt 🤣🤣🤣
I feel like effortlesslessy is my new favorite word LOL just kidding thanks for all the info I’ll be sure to stay away from those worse ones!
Was surprised at the success I had on the Rapala Rip Stops , I'm a vision 110 guy but they slayed them this year, caught most of my big fish on the jackhammer no surprise there , my best topwater this year was the Evergreen SB 105 and my best lipless this year was the Yozuri Rattlin vibe, I literally caught over 200 bass on it and my PB striper
Rewatching this in 2021 in anticipation of the 2021 Best & Worst video.
My best performing lures of the year were shaky head (specific standouts being the Missile Baits Quiver 6.5, Roboworm straight tail worm in SXE Shad, and the Powerbait Water Bug in coppertreuse), the Terminator finesse and pro series jigs (Terminator makes some of the best jigs IMO but they don't seem to get talked about much), the Berkley Wakebull, KVD Toad Buzz, Sexy Dawg, Zman TRD BugZ, Biospawn Exoswim in sungill, Rabid Baits Rabid Craw (they aren't very durable but the hair tipped claws is unique and certainly catches fish), and the Googan Trench Hawg.

I love the war eagle spinnerbaits, and there's another one by striking called the RaZor R blade. My two favorites for now until I try some other ones.
Also I had good luck this year on some gary Yamamoto spinnerbaits that Walmart had on clearance in a random spot I noticed grabbed a few they where killing it and also the classic rebel pop-R for me on those early morning late night calm waters
Great info, I look forward to the “best and worst gear” video.
Hey Debo you should make the the best and worst gear on live so we can all discuss the gear we use.
Would love to see the best and worst gear! Especially your input on line!
Great video, Debo! Would like to see the gear video.
Just subscribed. Good show old chap! Cheers
Man where do yall find these war eagle jigs???? I can't seem to find them anywhere without going online. Great video bro, I really like the kvd sexy Dawgs too(don't sleep on the Jr., it's money too)and love the war eagle spinners too, been using both for a few years now
Yes! Best and worst gear of 2020! I like it!
What baits do you throw a leader on
Hey Debo love the videos keep them coming peace out
Yes please do a fishing gear video. Work in best value at $100 and $200 combos
A lot of my water is frozen but you got me daydreaming about frogging.
Great job! I would love to see the tackle review.
Can you do a review on the Jewel finesse football jigs, don’t see a lot of reviews on them.
Tackle HD Hellgrammite in green pumpkin or black and z man craw in The Deal color were both very good for me.
Definitely like to see a best and worse of reels/rods and combos.
77th. I was hoping for a new video. Best and worst gear of 2020 would be an interesting vid. Keep up the good work, Debo.
I would love to see a video on best and worst rod combos! You rock!
Why the heck do frogs take on so much water and sink?
Actually Debo super bug is my favorite color from Missle baits i love that color and had a lot of luck with the D-bomb in super bug
Good insights. Thanks again Debo. I would like to see a line review.
Debo my favorites were live target bluegill square bill, *silent orange and yellow storm square bill, had a jerk bait from lucky tackle box i did good on and i don't know the name and cant get another, *Berkley bullet pop in bluegill color, a jenko walking bait, pop r as always, really impressed with punching the z man turbo crawl in the green pumpkin orange, and a smaller fire tiger looking strike king spinner with indiana blade.
The bust baits this year was the scum frog, and chatter bait. I had one okay day with the chatter bait. All around bad luck with frog all together and i usually always do good with frogs. Still working the big glide baits and swimbaits with no luck yet. Except for the jackel gantrelle i dis really good on beds with it. Once they left beds i didn't do a thing with it.
You should try that Heddon Chuggin Spook Jr. They are awesome
One of the ones I got from your channel is the chatter bait custom from tackle warehouse. Better colors and better action than the normal chatters but not the crazy Jack hammer price. Good stuff.
Also I had a ton of luck on that reaction innovation pocket rocket on a wacky rig. Before I got a casting combo, this was my go to light tackle bait for spinning rigs.
Sleeper pick: the Booyah pond magic spinner bait. Way smaller size (1/4 oz I think? Maybe 3/16) makes the blades spin at slower retrieves. Good for those neighborhood ponds with guys beating the banks most weekends.
HEY FISHBRO FROM WEST VIRGINIA!,love these vidss
Two of my big standouts this year was the megabass spark shad and the evergreen jackhammer. The spark shad on a Okashira or the Okashira screw head absolutely caught fish. Most guys fishing the area I was in couldn’t believe the numbers and size I was catching on this. Best colors were real and Hiuo did the damage.
I had the rust issue also on a zman chatterbait and a EWG hook. I had a Yamamoto plastic on them both and they both rusted. Its the only common denominator I could figure out on my end.
Let's see that 2021 version!
My best bait for 2020 hands down was the 6th Sense Curve 55, what a great little crankbait. I also flipped and pitched the 6th Sense Stroker Craw and did very well with it.
Sixth sense baits are pretty great. I have a really hard time fishing my megabass baits unless I know the water. I lost 5 in a weekend trip and it stung.
The Choppo and A3 anglers clear bladed tungsten underspin caught me some pretty good fish this year. Didn’t get to fish a whole lot since our public waters got shut down due to covid
Does anyone know if the cold effects reels?
Would definitely love to see a rod n reel ideo
I love these videos! I think I had the hardest time fishing a shaky head this year and I had the most success with a fluke. I’m gonna try a Ned rig and those KVD waking baits this year and hope they are good for me here in Illinois as they are for you in Iowa.
Wow thank you very much it’s seems you use lew’s rods a lot please review them specially lower price speedy stick with full cork ,thank you very much
I would like to see best and worst gear too.
Those lunkerhunt reactors are garbage. Saw them on clearance at my local shop and immediately knew why, no action at all under normal speeds. Had the same experience where you really had to haul the rod up and reel quick. Took the hooks and split rings off it to use on other baits as needed and the lures I added to a sorta wall decoration I'm working on. Have been really impressed with the newer berkley lures, especially their jerkbaits called the skinny cutter I think. Suspends really well.
Good info, I like these type of videos
Oh some of my top lures for this year was the H2O Xpress model crul brown orange craw and googan squad baby banger.
Appreciate the information. planning for the upcoming season will be easier now.
All the best for 2021!
Caught my largest bass of the year on a bladed jig (chatterbait) from Z-Man.
The Chatterbait really started to work for me in the late fall. Twice I caught 2 5 pounders then a 3 pounder back to back on a Z man CHARTREUSE and White with a Spike it dyed White fluke with CHARTREUSE garlic dye. The fluke movement is better than a paddle tail. The bigger bass love the way it moves with the vibration of the blade. Shawn.
Great Video. Especially appreciated the finesse jig section. We
Like what we like; some of the baits you love, I personally may not and I’m sure that it’s vice-versa.
Wouldn’t an o-ring work on the Springer Worm?
If you could find a really small ring. Mine were too big.
Also think best and worst gear video would be sweet!
Would love to see a best and worst gear video.
Oooo please do a best and worse gear for 2020
River 2 Sea Rover was my favorite top water walking bait this year.
Yes, please do a best/worst gear review.
Thanks
