Hey Mike I just want to say thank you for all the info you share and products you help design. I picked up some of your sunglasses a while back and they were $15 and work better than the $200 pair that are in the bottom of the lake! My most recent purchase is your tackle backpack, it's unreal the amount I can store in this. There are bags out there for much more money and they don't hold this much.
Just got back from Academy Sports in Terre Haute. Drove today it's late February. The weather finally cleared up and in the mid fifties and sunshine. Bought my favorite Braid 30 pound from Suffix 832 in green moss color. Also Spike it scent in Garlic and Crawfish , H2o lipless crank in Red craw, Mustad #4 treble hooks for replacing some old trebles, Z-man Chatterbait 1/2 ounce in Red and Black skirt, Was looking for a Smithwick ' Devil's Horse' twin prop Topwater bait but no luck. Thanks to Shawn Hillers for driving the hour both ways. Shawn.
Ike is the man! Ike has been a big inspiration to me and my career. He's actual one of the guys who inspired me to start my own channel on TH-cam. Thank you Ike for the inspiration and ready to watch your new Prespawn video!
Hey Mike, Ricky out of Fort Worth, Tx. I watched this last night and went to my local Walmart today… I purchased the DT6 and The Rap Shad!! Thanks for this video, I’ll share my catches soon. Tight lines!
The lures to throw, cool. But HOW to throw them, invaluable. My confidence lures are spinners and chatters. But to use a finesse trailer and slow roll the bottom is info I needed. Thanks Ike!
Mike minute 03:51: "I shy away from loud, rattlin crankbaits". Mike minute 04:40: "You have to have this in your pre-spawn arsenal..." And he takes out one of the loudest, rattlin crankbaits that is out there in ther market, the rippin rap. Dont get me wrong, but I am a little bit tired of all the marketing around lures and the contradictions that are out there...
Lipless vs lipped crank baits are vastly different baits it would make sense that based on conditions you would use one or the other , I’m gonna guess Mike might know what he’s talking about, I imagine he has won a few more million dollars fishing than almost anyone in the comments.
@@MrBocephus77 Dont get me wrong I dont mean to attack or disrespect anybody, and in fact I am not even a bass fisherman. Mike knows for sure more than I do. But I notice this contradiction, as well as I noticed that when you see videos about best 5 lures for winter or summer or spring, they end up showing the same lures more or less for each season. Just an opinion...
Like the 'in the shop' I may not use some versions but gets me thinking outside the box and try something different. Its the "Quit doing the same thing if your not catching any fish..... try something a little different!!"
Hey Ike I’m sure you don’t remember me but it’s Brian from Toyota of Vineland. I am no longer there I am with GM now. Just want to say it was a pleasure to serve you and I have learned so much because of your videos! Just want to say thank you for all you do in the community and with your organization. Amazing to meet you and thank you for all your knowledge you share.
Thanks for the helpful video,these methods have been working really well for me lately even though im beating the banks for bass on lay lake.lost my boat in a garage fire last year but i didn't let it slow me down!Good luck this year ike!!
Ike I subscribed long time ago and love your clips and like them always, please make more in the shop clips, they are very helpful specially for starters like me which start a year ago. Thanks
Hey Mike, we used to deliver papers on your street and always adored your boat when it was parked in front of your house. We're from the 'ville and just got our 1st boat. We fish the Allegheny a lot but we're going to Erie the first week of June to fish the bay. Any tips? And did you know Barry from Lawrenceville who would hang at Lock 3 Bait and Tackle? He knew a lot and sold us all kinds of tackle last year. Well he passed away recently. He was a cool and funny guy! Wishing you and yours to stay healthy and all the best😁 Rikki
Great video! I'm down in South Mississippi,some of our lakes are already high 50 water temps, prespawn is full blast, destroyed them twice already this week on a jig, I make my own and been doing work with a green pumpkin/brown/tilapia I made up, they are picking it up and hauling butt with it!!
Don't forget about the indiana blade. If the water isn't straight mud, but it's not clear to lightly stained, the indiana blade is a solid choice to use on a spinnerbait.
Hey, David! Just found a little white and silver skirted spinnerbait. Put a 3.5 Silver paddled tail with silver specks as a trailer. It has Indiana and Colorado blades. Just killed the pre spawn bass up last week. Also used a Redeye Chrome shad. That worked when the spinnerbait quit working. Those blades have a lot more thump than the willow blades the water was mid 50's and stained. Tried a Senko Texas rigged Green Pumpkin color. Just didnt work. But it will. Was looking to see if anyone else came across this spinnerbait that worked. Shawn
I bought a down sized spinnerbait with a Colorado and Indiana blades it's white with silver skirt. I added a 3.5 Havoc silver specked paddle tail trailer. The blades thump harder than my willow bladed Boo ya in Chartruse. Just killed them last week. Crank and crank then let it drop. Repeat! Also used a Strike King Redeye chrome shad. Great bait too. Hope this helps you. Shawn
I'm here in the House....winter is still going strong here, current temp 39, low tonight will be 29, tomorrow's high will be 32, 25, 25, 27, for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.....oh well.
Solid info. I know losing lures is part of fishing. But when I hear pros talk about how you're supposed to "bang" crank baits against structure I think they're trying to sell their sponsors lures.
RE: pre-spawn baits (cool water) South Florida doesn't have water that cool, will they work? Also Mike, South Florida bass ponds & lakes consistantly have a lot of Matted Grass, these baits constantly snag all the muck; recommendation baits for these conditions other than worms?
Thanks for the video. Would you give me some advice. I'm outside philly,i know your from the area. Is the prespawn now or when the water gets a bit warmer. Its still cold out here. Appreciate your time weather you answer or not. Tight lines

Something special about spinnerbaits in the fall too 😉
Never really been into bass fishing always been a bream fisher. Looking to get more into bass these tips are super helpful

and don't forget to change that cadence change up that rhythm!
@@mikeiaconellifishing I need to work on that with jerkbaits big time
Mike minute 03:51: "I shy away from loud, rattlin crankbaits".

Yeah, this is a bunch of product promotion BS.

It don't rattle on the drop.... remember,reaction with noise,then silent drop ,they hit on the SILENT drop,for that ill get 1st place💣💣💣

Solid info, Mike. Thanks. DT-6 IN HIS FACE!
Man I just love the “In the shop” videos!! Also just love Bass fishing. It’s an art really, not another sport like it.

Good group of baits, sums up every aspect of spawn.
Great video Ike thanks for the upload
Sharing his knowledge. That's what "ambassadors" of the sport does. HOF fisherman.
Great video! I'm down in South Mississippi,some of our lakes are already high 50 water temps, prespawn is full blast, destroyed them twice already this week on a jig, I make my own and been doing work with a green pumpkin/brown/tilapia I made up, they are picking it up and hauling butt with it!!
Yessir
I subscribed for the Ike in the shop videos
Thanks for the tips man! Just waiting for this ice up north’s time melt so I can fish open waters!
Don't forget about the indiana blade. If the water isn't straight mud, but it's not clear to lightly stained, the indiana blade is a solid choice to use on a spinnerbait.

I caught a good one pre spawn last year on a old school spinner bait with a Colorado blade it was great
I bought a down sized spinnerbait with a Colorado and Indiana blades it's white with silver skirt. I added a 3.5 Havoc silver specked paddle tail trailer. The blades thump harder than my willow bladed Boo ya in Chartruse. Just killed them last week. Crank and crank then let it drop. Repeat! Also used a Strike King Redeye chrome shad. Great bait too. Hope this helps you. Shawn
Great tips brother best of luck to you this year go get em 🎣💪🎣

I dig that hobie hat! Ike!
When the bass in my pond have their fry with them I like to use a rattle trap to annoy them into biting
Love throwing Ratl traps and jerkbaits prespawn , but also love throwing blue fox super vibrax in silver or gold
I got all of these baits ready I'm just waiting for bass opener
Molix lover! Hell ya Ike!
Great Info Thanks Ike
So pretty much every lure!
Love the video's. Besides Rapala what's your favorite Jerkbait?
Thank's Mike, any preference on prespawn lipless baits? Great videshow BTW!
Ike, try the vmc fatty-Z with shakyheads. As thin section before the tail, and will wiggle. Never heard you mention them. From Kentucky
Mike is the best!!!!
Mike you remind me of Eminem with your beard lol
Next Ike live Guest?!???
😂😂
That exact lipless is unbelievable how many fish it catches
Thanks for the video great go to baits!
Thanks that was awsome you need to make more trick rigs and show us some tips
Awesome thank you for the knowledge
The way mike talks in this video is just like my pastor lol
This is a perfect list for lake largemouth. Would you make any changes for river smallmouth? For example the Delaware River, north of the gap.
Still frozen water here in Chicagoland. We got a ways to go before we can officially say we are in “pre-spawn.”
I'm here in the House....winter is still going strong here, current temp 39, low tonight will be 29, tomorrow's high will be 32, 25, 25, 27, for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.....oh well.
If you ever make it to Santa Barbara ca, help me find the biggist bass at lake cachuma. She doesn't give up her secrets easily!
Solid info. I know losing lures is part of fishing. But when I hear pros talk about how you're supposed to "bang" crank baits against structure I think they're trying to sell their sponsors lures.
Awesome vid been watching since you started bassmasters. You ever gonna go back to elites?
Really great breakdown and as always man you are spot on! Heck You are Mike ByGod Iaconelli so of course you are. hahahaha Thanks.
RE: pre-spawn baits (cool water) South Florida doesn't have water that cool, will they work? Also Mike, South Florida bass ponds & lakes consistantly have a lot of Matted Grass, these baits constantly snag all the muck; recommendation baits for these conditions other than worms?
DT6 in its face!
So you don't want a regular crankbait to rattle loud but you use a lipless, which IS loud.
A caught my PB on a never give up IKE rod
I love dt-6 but my only problem with is they bust so much. I had 3 sinking on me in one day this winter.
Tell Brian the carpenter he can't Dodge me on the 2 V 2 jon boat battle😁
Hey do you ever use the the mistle D bomb and the baby d bomb?
If you use heavier line , will it tighten up the wobble of the crankbaits ?
Why are you yelling at me mike lol
Mike speaks as though he is talking to classroom full of special kids. Lmao. I still watch the videos though. 👍
I was just curious if fishing the drop shot in cold water is a good tactic
Thanks for the video. Would you give me some advice. I'm outside philly,i know your from the area. Is the prespawn now or when the water gets a bit warmer. Its still cold out here. Appreciate your time weather you answer or not. Tight lines
Mike. No Ned Rig for prespawn???
What y'all recommend for worm brands with shakey head?
Jon Boll venom lures.com
First one to like can’t wait to watch
He really held that box up for two hole minutes though
Bro where is your wacky rig senko
Should be helpful for Hobie BOS on Lake Fork in a week. Lol
Pre-spawn a good chance for big bass.
Chatter baits n spinnerbait s. U forgot !!! 😎
How about when the water temperature is 39?
Breaking out of what winter... It was just negative 15.. Lol
