Controversial New Soft Plastic GLIDE BAIT || Testing Berkley NESSIE (instant response)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ส.ค. 2023
- My buddy @FISHERYIN hooked me up with a 9" Berkley Nessie last week to test out. I saw this bait at iCast and was really looking forward to getting my hands on one. Though this bait has stirred up a bit of controversy, I gotta say for the short time I was able to fish it....I like what I saw. Let me know what you think down below.

We watched your soul get wrenched out of your body! I could instantly feel your pain. So rough to watch, but such a real side of fishing!
Oh man, that’s rough! Definitely gotta do a part 2 on this!
What knot did you tie? Just curious.
Wow!!!! Gotta get my hands on one of those
Dude that sucked to lose a really nice bait like that. Don't feel bad I've had it happen to me alot. And it really hurts. Im definitely buying some of these baits. They look great.🙂👍
Mayne not the worst review video, I mean you hooked what looked to be a monster bass or something. Great video though my dude!!!
Definitely going to be a player for intro glides / swim-baits especially the 5 and 7 inch. 100% going to pick one up for myself just to see if it’s better than a normal glide.
I think they’ll both have their place. Skipping docks is going to be sick with the soft glide.
@@SBFishingI doubt the Flag will be produced anymore. It's a hot bait, but unless you're into collecting, a professional that requires the minute difference in action, or just have money to burn, nobody is going to pay what will soon be considered "extra" for that action and configuration of a swimbait/glidebait.
There simply aren't enough collectors, pros, or wealthy people, in the large swimbait market. That's the problem. If it was something a majority of the bass fishing market consumed, like the chatterbait being in the swim jig category, I can see how Grow Design Works could retain some reasonable amount of market share to stay afloat, internationally at least. But whoever came up with the design and originally invested in it will probably never have another opportunity to produce another game changing design. Why would they? Berkley never even gave them credit where it is really due.
We all know reputation establishes a person or company in the sportfishing industry. It doesn't cost anything monetarily to just give credit to the people they're benefiting from. It only sours the reputation of those that refuse, especially after the current controversy only confirms a previously questionable bad reputation.
Berkley will profit, no doubt. But everyone else loses from the loss of competition and innovation.
I have the 7in and it’s awesome
Smith Mt Lake tournament Saturday morning gonna be my first time fishing that lake on a boat might have to grab me a Nessie today if I can find one
Man, you set the hook like fishing a blue marlin 🤣
What line was that...performed like Trilene???
Knock off or not I feel like we can all generally agree we've bought worse lures for 10-12 bucks 🤣🙄 #WalletVerified
Oops!! 😂 Now that's the kind of thing that happens to me. Go to do something and have a disaster.
" If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all."
Line burn? Flouro?
Did you end up putting a nail weigh in it? I can’t get mine to stay down. I think I have the 7
I honestly couldn’t get the 7” to swim well at all. I had to put nail weights in the 9, but got it dialed.
My fishing buddy bought a new hi dollar lure. First cast and snap! It was loud and gone. We walked around the lake and it was a windy day and I found a brand new lure. It was his. Lol. I got the first, most and biggest for the day. He caught a handful.
Just for laughs I bought one of these at the outdoor shop today and I ran out to my local lake and tossed it around, it's still early up here for bass fishing I feel but I thought the lure felt great and had great action, can't wait to see if a giant pike takes it this weekend
Who came out with the 1st spinner bait and were they hurt when other people introduce similar products to the market?
Controversy? What is it a racist glidebait or something??
It’s a copy cat bait that’s why
Its gender buoyant
All fishing tackle is Co;py Cat!s
@@Southwest.Anglinglegendary comment
It’s a flaming maggot.
Would have love to see a video of the Flag as well. Maybe in the near future?
Yeah, been waiting to get my hands on one.
Have to pick up another one or a few!
I’ve been hitting some big smallies on the Potomac with these great bait
Wish I could get a 3rd person view of that hook set. Dayum.
That was rough to watch man…😂
Nothing like seeing a bait review catch a fish and break off your #20 test on the first fish😢😢😢😢 I still haven’t tried the Nessie, mainly because I haven’t found the colors I want in stock….. should I go searching again 🤷🏻♂️😜🍀🎣🍀 I know this video is from a while ago, but I value your opinion 👍
Caught me 5 different 5lber in the 1 month ive been throwiny the berkley nessie 7
Did you say you were fishing Smith Mountain? There are musky in there.
Nah I wasn’t out there. I wish!
Great video
Had to be a pike or musky thoughts???
Good review of the new bait !?
Look at the hookup tackle video on the flag lure and they don't like knockoff lures
Wow I’m ordering some now 😂
You need to finish the gambler please
The hook set looked a little aggressive to me, but we can't act like we were there with you. Seems like you had a bad spot on your line that made it weak. There is no way 25lb broke that easily unless your knot broke or you had a nick in line. Thanks for showing the little bit of fishing you did with it.
My opinion is that the vast majority of lures are a copy of some other brand, it is what it is. To me it looks as if it is close but did have different build construction. I'd buy the Berkley at $13 before spending $80 on the other.
Might have been the knot or something maybe a big pike idk
Throwing it on a Tranx 300?
Lake Chesdin, has tons of pickerel
At least it wasn't the $80 bait that got broke off... would've hurt a lot more
Oh man that was brutal 😂🥲
still shook
lol what a way to end a bait review. Could this be the beginning of a new style of bait reviews? Fish until you lose it lol
According to the Virginia DNR, they stock musky into that Lake. That's probably what bit you off.
I could be wrong, but I don’t think DNR would stock musky in this lake. Doesn’t seem favorable for the fish. Again, could be wrong.
Man damn bro😂😂😂😂 I wanted to see you work it and get bit. Well on to the next!
Part of the reason I was so bummed was because I wanted to throw it more. It looked GOOD....not gonna lie
It’s called being innovative, but there should be a mutual respect somewhere. Lure product is always changing, but the idea came somewhere first. Giving kudos to original folks in Japan and fish on! Anyways, I hope you do another video please, it’s redemption time
megabas just made one too lol
Wow. Short fight.
Damn either the knot was bad or line was bad. That sucks I would be pissed.
Controversial bait sure, but honestly it’s still a great bait. Berkley could definitely be a little more innovative but at the end of the day it’s a business and they’re here to make money and they sell baits. I use ally of berkley and i honestly can’t complain the cull shad I like better than a magdraft you can fish it a little faster
Pikezilla just stole that new lure
dude you got a shark
If that’s the lake I think it is there are saugeye in it, and they got some teeth on em
So funny, I just caught my first one out there today! Don't think that's what broke me off though.
fall Muskie slayer
They improve the design and release it as theirs. I build products for our government. That's what we do everyday lmao. That's how the world we live in works.
Berkeley stole their idea for sure. They should at least credit the original company
OMG. Broke off. 🙈
that was a cut not a break lol
You right you right.
Idk man I like your videos and what you do, but I just can't get behind Berkely period. Everything they make is a knock off of someone else's hard work and idea. It's not just the Nessie it's the choppo, the Gillie, the general the list goes on and on. Support small businesses not corporate whores who are lazy and make money off of other people's product just cuz they have money and can mass produce it for cheap.
How many GDW Flags you got??? Can I buy one from you?
@@SBFishing lol I've never fished one kinda thought the idea of a soft glide would be a gimmick. I understand the other side too, but damn you seriously gonna sit here and believe that Berkley couldn't have collaborated with Grow so they both are happy? No. Instead they have 🤡's like icanelli (however you spell his damn name) who go on TH-cam and are like look at what ME AND BERKLEY made it was years in the making b.s.
@@morganvanschuyver I'm not backing berkley whatsoever here, just taking a look at a bait I got from a buddy. I agree with what you're saying.
On another note - what makes the concept of a soft glide (regardless of brand) a gimmick? I know for a fact you'll be able to get a soft glide into spots you'll never get a standard glide. Idk, they have always been something of interest once I started fishing glides more.
That’s hilarious. Would did they copy power bait and MaxScent from?
That looks like Chesdin. If it is, there is Pike in there. I’ve caught a few in there
That's exactly where I was, good eye and thanks for filling me in!
That's gotta be some crap line if it broke that easy at 25lb test! I seen Ike's demo of it and it looks sick to me!
toothy critter probably got it. someone commented that there's pike in that lake.
Megabass made a version also
Dude, I just saw this the other day after I filmed this. The Ayu Twitch! I don't think it's available in the states yet but could be wrong. I'm gonna try and get one.
@@SBFishing plenty on jpangler
2:56 is when the review actually starts 🫨
TBH there is no honour in fishing companies, I developed a very unique drop shot bait when drop shot was new , got coppied really fast , everything good gets ripped off.
Should of just fished the day out I dont care if there if there is a topic or a tournament you make good fishing’s videos
Of course I did. Just caught 3 small ones the rest of the day and missed 2 on a glide. Nothing much to write home about and I felt I could put this vid together a little simpler without it
Would love to try that for musky
100% reminds me of a glide version of a Poseidon
Even if it’s a knock off from a jdm bait but it’s a fraction of the cost plus more easily obtained then it’s a win for me.
But the flag lure is more durable than the nessi
That's why you don't LOCK down the drag... if you set the hook and the drag doesn't slip a little at the end its too tight.
No controversy due to the fact the fact that the only similarity between the Nessie and the Grow Works is the shape! Different tail fin, different plastic, Nessie has har plastic keel fins and a hook clip, Grow Works doesn’t! Also, plastic glide baits have been around ( mostly in Japan ) for 10 years! Hopefully this clears up and thought that Ike and Berkley copied or ripped off Grow Works… they simply saw a great bait, redesigned it, and filled a gap in the American market! This has been happening in the fishing industry since day one!
I think the controversy surrounding this bait is stupid. We aren't out there complaining about the multitude of options out there for regular glide baits, crankbaits, or jerkbaits. Berkeley is bringing the soft glidebait here to the US market in an affordable version with the production power (that Grow Design Works lacks) for many more poeple to have the opportunity to throw it.
The quick glimpse I had of the two looks as Berkley copied the Japanese bait with a few modifications at the nose and tail. But hey it's done all the time Right !!
Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!! lol - and with this video, you may never get another!?! Hmmmmm ........... #ACMTackle :) Be Safe
🐢
There's snake head in Virginia
Not sure if they've made it down this far yet. I've caught some snakehead further north (potomac river, occoquan rez, etc) but never down here.
You have northern pike there lol they will snap you off fast lol
use trilene🤣
Thats why you dont set the hook really hard im a bass fisherman i also fish for catfish but i seen tons of bass fisherman either break their line on a big fish or break there rod i swear people need to learn how to fish better
Also always set your drag around the middle not too loose or tight so you can set the hook without so much resistance
They definitely ripped them off
There are a million brands of baits and they all copy each other. It looked like Berkley changed it some as they usually do.
Controversial opinion: Flurocarbon is the worst line ever made! I only use mono for subsurface baits and can count on my hand how many times ive broken off in 10+ years of bass fishing. Fluro is brittle and breaks way too easily. Probably a pike in your case but i just see fluro break wayy to often. Milliken breaks off a lot using fluro.
First time ever breaking 25lb fluoro for me
I agree. I've had nothing but problems with fluro
Fluoro needs to be changed out almost weekly...there's not a controlled stretch with fluoro, so every time it stretches, it weakens...pros use it, as they feel it's more invisible & sensitivity...When it's free, u can do that & have time with no job...in reality, bass couldn't care less about seeing the line...hence, giant treble hooks on swim/glides, wires all over an A rig, etc...many others...big swim/glides, rats, all hard baits...I'm 100% mono & change to fresh line about 3x/year
@@andybales7318 agree with that statement. Lotta good points there! I hate fluro, mono all day baby. Never any problems!
I've never had a problem with fluro
Sorry man. Your heart just sinks! Get another!!!! Test again pls
This shit Was so funny
It’s a total knockoff. Berkeley in particular has a history of ripping off jdm lures.
That being said there aren’t many original designs in fishing anymore, look how many senko knock offs there are
Bro 6:03 you still had ur lure stop fronting dude
lmao what
"Who owns Berkeley fishing lures?" Sheesh. I didn't know it was that complicated. Welp, it is what it is. There's replicants of most lures out there. The company that has the money to support the ad campaign and bring the most cost effective product to market, wins.
Literally? Carl Icahn owns Berkley Fishing.
You definitely got bitten off by a pickerel or bowfin. I’ve caught several big ones in there
There are bowfin in there?! Makes me feel slightly better about breaking whatever that was off.
@@SBFishing yeah they’re pretty rare tho. I’ve only caught one. The pickerel get huge in there. My dad caught one about 5lbs a few years ago
Smith has huge muskys....
Didn't you say you were at smith?
Ouff. RIP
that breakoff sucked! 😂
It did!
Nessie gone! Probably a toothy critter
Generally speaking - if you look across the board - somebody has something similar to somebody else. The replication won't stop and moreover, it's not just in the fishing industry, but also in other businesses/industries as well.
We’re in America though not Japan… The same bait will cost more simply cause it’s from Japan and not available. Who cares. 10-200 dollar glide baits and they all lose fish the same.
I've seen you on Universe so you've had a way to get them. Instead of dropping a little money to do at least do a video on the original Flag 170 first, you chose to make a video and support Berkley's knockoff. By "stay out of that drama" you mean be silent and support Berkley, you could have "tried the bait out" without doing a video. Lost a lot of respect for you today.
Definitely gonna get one just haven't had the chance.
You lost respect for me because I haven't been able to get a bait and film a video using it?
@@SBFishing I bet if you posted on Universe looking for one, you'd be able to get one. No one's forcing you to make a video. You're giving Berkley's ripoff free publicity because you knew it'd get you views when you could have wait to show the Flag first. You can't do that and say you're not choosing sides.
What if I got the megabass Ayu twitch next and made a vid? Still losing your respect or does that not count cause it’s JDM? Also a clear knockoff isn’t if?
@@SBFishing If you did your homework, you'd know that Megabass actually had the Twitcher in development before GDW released theirs. The actual origins of that design is only known to those two companies. And honestly, yes, it would have been better than making a vid with Berkley's. It's cool though, don't worry about me, I don't even know why I left a comment, I'm just a random guy on the internet to you.
😂😂😂😂😂
There's too many differences on those baits to even have a discussion, tail tube, eye's looking in different direction those are just two but I see atleast 3 other's, great review the bait got eaten 👍
I own at least 2 of the Baits Berkley basically ripped off. And I must say Berkley baits are better than the originals. The Cullshad destroys the magdraft and bass mafia baits. The only one that might be better is the Magalojohns. The one thing I will say is Berkley Paint jobs suck...thwy only paint half the bait for some reason. The belly is always white. I have even been in regual contact with Berkley about making a 5 inch cullshad and a weedless b4 icast 24 they said it's in the works
The "RECULL" shad better 😂😂😂
@chrisgarcia5462 a million in one month I caught 70 fiah in the same water I fish the magdraft. And I own every size magdraft and every type from the 5 inch to he twictcher amd Raver Asu(Japan only) in ever color. I own every cullshad amd every Spro Megalojohn.
@chrisgarcia5462 the recall not even talking about the fixed version is even better
Nahh...the Magdraft all day
At least it doesn't cost as much as the flag i have experienced when you get broken off expensive lures it hurts
I just wanted to fish it more! 😂
losing $13 vs $90... hmmm
Just buy a original… support small brands!
Why not testing the original?? Never give a "shout out" to a knock off!!
The prob is Grow is a small company and they could not and still can not provide any product. On back order (or very small runs) for over a year. People that had them sold them at ridiculous prices. This is common in the handmade swimbait world. That's why KGB hooked up with Spro who could mass produce their very desirable Chad Shad with good quality and much cheaper price. Maybe Berkley tried to do a collaboration with Grow and they declined. Who knows. If that is the case it is Grow's loss. I have no prob with what Berkley did, and although this bait is kinda inique, as far as I'm concerned, most of these swimbaits look so similar anyway.
Replication is the biggest honor to a bait. Does anyone complain about squarebills or jerk baits being made?? If they think they stole it, then charge $15 also
👀👀
Naw man this ain’t cool..
Yeah an extremely small bait company can charge $15 for a glide bait… they can’t use cheep Chinese slave labor to get their materials like berkley…
Only controversy is from haters that can't stand there's a similar bait now to their cultdesignworks.
I hate the idea that Berkley did not credit the design, and pass it as an original R&D design at icast. Spro and KGB did it right, Berkley has the resources to do it right and choose not to. As a consumer I can understand the thought about price to availability, but as a creator this is very disrespectful and unprofessional. change the item to fishing content and a small creator's unique content being stolen/copied, by a larger media company/influencer with no credit as it sky rockets in exposure and popularity.
Spro also knocked off the coverscat pretty hard at the same time.
