Off topic but a young man at the pond asked me about the Hybrid Hunter yesterday you would have gotten a kick out of it…I said what you know about that he said TH-cam. I said okay who created it for Strike King he answered correctly. Well he said Todd and KVD I was somewhat impressed. He said can I see one I grabbed the box picked one out for him. I walked away with a smile he walked away with his first hybrid hunter. Would have thought he was handed a million dollars by his reaction couldn’t believe I’d give him a bait. My point gentleman, if you see a kid on the bank answer their questions if possible. Might just make your day a little better as well!
Setting the hook like you do is so much easier then just jacking them. I love flipping but with neck and shoulder issues really jacking them doesn't work for me. I learned how to set the hook like you out od necessity and I lose less fish and it doesn't hurt me as bad. except on really food days my ribs hurt from tucking the butt but that's a good pain to have.
I’ve never been much on slack lining. I miss most of the fish. I like to lean into em, I set the hook the same way when I frogging, seems to work good for me.
Todd, looking from a broader angling perspective we've got a bit of a challenge. It is that north American large mouth anglers refer to jigs as one thing. Offshore saltwater call something totally different 'a jig'. And regionally there are variations such as ball heads, hair jigs, tungsten jigs. You name it. It's just hard or impossible to figure out what the original thing was. But if I was to guess, I'd say the larger off-shore saltwater variants is where it started (simply a means to get a lure vertically down quickly to reach deeper swimming saltwater species). In fact, the saltwater variant of the jig, is what freshwater bass anglers would term a blade bait. Or something similar to a blade bait scaled up, and with less sophistication.
On top of it, the saltwater off shoreguys had various riggings for trolling waters. Going back to Buck Perry, you can see that what happen in freshwater, was those techniques of jigs, trolling rigs, spoon plugs etc. That all got adapted to freshwater. And then, when mapping and depth finders became common place, the need to understand shorelines by trolling and using spoon plugs decreased or disappeared.
The saltwater jig now has detachable hooks like a hard plastic bait, except the body is made of heavy metal. Sure in saltwater light penetration through large depths is possible, because of water clarity. Saltwater jigs are 'visual' like a jerkbait, and yet heavy like a blade bait too. Freshwater jigs based it all around a large single hook, that is non-replaceable. The freshwater jig lure is just dressed in some way (the advantage of a freshwater jig seems to be that, it's custom-isable using color and materials). Whereas saltwater jigs aren't.
Yet the point I'm making is the saltwater jig to me, is absolutely a lot closer to what I would consider to be a jig. The structure jigs that bass anglers use are more of a 'target casting lure'. Where anglers develop skill in using them to cast accurately and often. Hence why they're so simple. A basic hook with weight, and dressed to whatever one prefers. However, in the freshwater structure jig there isn't a lot of actual jigging that goes on. It's a bait to place accurately on the target. I just wonder about that, how did freshwater co-opt that name, that's really used to describe a different lure type?
Lastly I'd suggest that modern freshwater bass anglers peer at the old multipliers reels and rods, where it began in freshwater gear angling. And laugh at how un-sophisticated it may have been then. However, look at the saltwater offshore boat anglers today who still fish what is really a jig lure. You'll still see an older style of multiplier fishing reel (which incorporates line levelling wind nowadays). All that freshwater bass anglers did for reservoirs was start with the smallest versions of that then available, and tried to put the jig saw pieces for freshwater angling together. From an original playbook that was created on saltwater.
I went shopping in two locations for a basic bass freshwater style baitcaster reel and rod to match (and a supply of some kind of ball head or lead head hooks of decent quality). And one store had a nice popular brand of baitcaster, like you'd see on Bassmaster. But only one of that item in stock. And to be fair, I couldn't find any of the nice lighter weight rods I'd use to aim and cast a structure jig with (you get caught somewhere in between offshore saltwater rods, and freshwater pike, zander, musky type of tackle). All good tackle and applicable to what people do in western Europe. Fish surf on beaches or rocks, and lake resident pike in freshwater. What it shows is how little penetration that a lot of what largemouth anglers use has, as a type of tackle. In lots of parts of the world still.
@@Fishing0683 Granted, I'm watching from my office. So, I'm a little distracted. But I have been through it three times and haven't heard a depth yet! My wife says I'm deaf. Maybe she's right!
I thought with a flipping setup you want a more shallow spool on reel? I hate a lot of line in reel when flipping. I feel a shallow spool allows for keeping trajectory low on a pitch and low splash. Who knows,.may be different style
Thick bushes sometimes 9 feet deep, a 1/4 probably would never make it to the bottom half the time, plus I can cover twice as much water more efficiently
Too bad the new poppin perch can’t withstand a good hookset. I guess cheap ass strike king saw how much money Spro was making with single fish frogs. It’s a damn shame Todd. Why can’t your poppin perch take a 3lber without breaking the internals? Dogshit quality.
I cant wait to post all the videos of me catching all these fish on the Popping Perch and never having to switch or retie. I lover these comments though keep bringing them. Videos are worth a thousand words.
@@toddcastledinefishing5924do me a favor and open a NEW one out of the box. Not one you’ve had sitting in the bottom of the boat for a couple of years. Not one sitting on your shelf in the garage. A new one Todd. You’ll break it in 5 fish I guarantee. You won’t put that on TH-cam.
lol your gonna be famous. Remember I put everything out on TH-cam, this actually helps my case on how good they are. Gives me an excuse to make a video on them. Thank you
@@toddcastledinefishing5924 Not once did I say the bait is bad. It’s a fish catcher. The new quality is horrendous. Strike king cheaped out. Just admit it Todd. Make your video praising the popping perch. You’ll be right. But you won’t be using a new batch and you know it. Make me famous. Maybe then I’ll get a reimbursement for these broken ass popping perches I’ve bought
Good stuff. Slacklining has never made any sense to me. Dudes are just ripping giant holes in their lip for no reason, and probably losing fish because of it.
Perch, bream, bluegill, bass, large mouth, skipping, flipping, pitching. It’s all the same it amazes me how people get caught up on things that don’t matter. No one else cared

I know if I see a kid on the bank he gets a bait every time.
right on
Now this is what I’ve been waiting for!!! Flooded bushes are plentiful now days here in Northeast Oklahoma and will be for a while
Something tells me this lake y’all were fishing on is up in North Texas ?

No Tink'en around!!!!.... I'm jacked up... love it..
Great insight as usual. Thanks for your time,
Like to see you and Hackney in a flippin contest! I use the 7'6 signature rod which is good enough in Virginia. Have you tried his 7'11 flippin rod?
We miss Hallman
Great vid!
In your opinion, does a person's height make a difference in rod length? I think it does, especially when it comes to being accurate while flipping.
Why the 3/0 instead of the 4/0? Just curious. I assume rage bug do you feel like the 3 fits better
I am wondering the same. Would love to hear Todd address this.
yes exactly its fits perfectly.
Great
Yessir Hallman is missed!
What rod is that?i couldnt understand what he said?
Its in the description as well.

Lews super duty 7'6 heavy
Todd, what color you throwing? 😂
Had to say it after the last video haha
We threw 3 different colors, basically because we ran through so many baits, the one on the video was CRAWDADDY
First fish, u caught, what weight sinker and depth?
What weight was the sinker? and depth? I believe I went over all of those in the video.
@toddcastledinefishing5924 thanks I must have missed I will watch again thanks
Yep u did my bad
@@Fishing0683 Granted, I'm watching from my office. So, I'm a little distracted. But I have been through it three times and haven't heard a depth yet! My wife says I'm deaf. Maybe she's right!
@@barryeslick1967pretty sure I heard him say 9ft on one of the bushes

Why 3/4oz and not like a 1/4oz? Is it because its a reaction bite?

Broken rods is what I see on top of what you see
Never ever slack line hook set. It’s got to be one of the dumbest things in fishing. Always reel it right before setting.
That's not Flipping it's pitching. Two totally different techniques.
Perch, bream, bluegill, bass, large mouth, skipping, flipping, pitching. It’s all the same it amazes me how people get caught up on things that don’t matter. No one else cared
@@toddcastledinefishing5924 Yeah sure lol. Do your homework
Sorry I just started fishing a year ago
