Doooooode, the Pit Boss is my #1 soft plastic. It's given me many, many 50+ fish days!!!

[@christiancognigni6234]

This really is the whole enchilada on color strategy! Fantastic video, Ike!!! I LOVE those Spike It markers. LOVE THEM - If you have 5 minutes to try something - grab a green pumpkin swimbait and use the chartreuse marker to make yellow perch bars on each side... then touch the bottom in a couple spots with the orange marker and you have instant yellow perch!

In a pond full of generic anglers- Mike adds color & contrast!! Thanks for another great video!

[@dawnparker2014]

Always a pleasure watching your videos. Here in Florida it's always a battle to pick the correct color.

I’m right there with ya man lol

I appreciate this video man. Sometimes i just throw a bunch in my backpack because I don’t even know what color the fish want. Sometimes the pond will be smashing and sometimes not a single bite lol. I’m going to keep this in mind with my color selection on my baits and see if it helps with the hook ups.

[@Old-School-Bassin]

Ike you’re a nut job, (Your thumbnail pic are hilarious!), but I love your videos because they make me a much better Angler! “I Like Ike”

Good info Mike love your Channel

[@Bj-vi3tq]

Awesome video, Mike. I'm all about the California 420. I also love a redbug in hot water, like dragging a worm in 8'-15' or in the evening. What are your thoughts on redbug?

[@mariodavidmataspaul9784]

Gracias Mike ❤

I have a small pond with brim,catfish and largemouth bass in NC,plus tons of frogs and turtles. Water is usually fairly clear with a tannic tinge. Recommendation?

[@samuelstrickland3678]

Have you done or can you do a video like this on hard bait color selection as well?

[@moepizl]

Hey mike. Im from ur neck of the woods. Huge fan since atleast '02 '03. Wat would u recommend for the rancocas in the Burlington county areas

[@davemccann3730]

What size EWG hook do you use in the Powerbait Gilly?😮

[@stevelanier6293]

Will that apply to hard baits as well

[@jenlvjim]

Does anyone know if the spike it pens work as good as the dip?

[@scottsamuels8245]
