I love Reaction Innovations myself. I think the packaging and their names is just their gimmick and it’s pretty damn funny to get a pack of beavers and see the color is named dirty sanchez or tramp stamp
I’ve never really used Beaver-Style Baits. I’ve tried a couple times and didn’t have much luck. Another great video. Anything that helps catch more fish, I really appreciate. Thanks for the info.
David , I really appreciate that you take time to do these informative videos , all the other guys just put out videos to make money , they really don't care less about their viewers . great work thanks
You really look at it Dudley. A beaver bait really mimics a crawfish in a very specific way. I guess that's why bass love them so much. Good one Dudley.
I love fishing with beaver style baits. I am a fan of the original reaction innovations, I completely understand the not promoting them as the packages have no representation of the sport or bait. I am new to the channel but have followed you and your career for a while now. So glad you are part of MLF now. As I am a huge fan of MLF and BPT.. really enjoying the channel.. keep it up! One more thing you forgot the Biffle bug for beaver baits. Definitely throw a biffle bug! Tommy biffle is like the king of flipping!
That's happened to me using a beaver bait with it balling up. doesn't happen all the time but I've lost fish due to the balling up.. Love the videos. As well as the little nuggets of tricks and tips.
Learning a lot, thanks, there's always exceptions to the rule and no absolutes as well. But when AOY DD speaks, I'm a believer. You said the same when explaining bass behavior during the pre, spawn and post. Keep teaching us
I also usually go with the Pitboss best hook up ratio for me, trokar flipping hook #5 pegged weight depending on where and what. I need a serious showing at mosquito the 21/22, have to dig out of 50th. Did something I learned from you Big D last week and it’s paying off. Next derby’s on portage lakes the 7th LTT event. Thanks for all you share bro, it’s been invaluable to me. God Bless and peace.
Good for you, Mr. Dudley! I too prefer to buy a knock off of the Beavrr-style bait, due to the tasteless imaging and marketing of Reaction Innovations.
I caught a bass the other day and it spit up a large black beetle type water bug. And I think that’s what bass think beaver baits are. Thats my 2 cents. Great video man keep it up. 👍🏼🇺🇸
Timely topic. I have had, just this week some beaver experiences. Using the Berkley Max-scent beaver as a jig trailer, I've caught some nice fish this week, and today I had a mega bass on. I hit her twice but she still managed to spit my SK structure jig. So fun.
You can bend out your hook a little and it will help with your hook ups if you don’t have the bigger J hooks. Thanks David for all that you do for the sport! God bless.
This video was great David, I literally have been trying to figure out why Ive been missing the hook up or losing fish when I'am punching grass mats after I switched from brush hog to a beaver bait and the ball up theory makes 100% sense. Complete eye opener thanks.
Dont worry about the negative comments, yes its gonna happen, but you have great info to share, and for us that use it, appreciate it, dont let the negative have a focus on your channel it takes away from your vast knowledge, and wanting to share it for the future fishing community 👊🏽
David Dudley Outdoors It’s dissapointing that you use a fans blind support to substantiate your views rather than questioning the sillyness of your RI boycott. This video has more thumbs down than ive ever seen on your stuff. Wonder why?
Fisher of Men ! And yet David Dudley... and yourself probably support more misogyny than you realize. Do you watch football? You know... that sport with the scantily clad cheerleaders. Hypocrites.
10 years ago I was a die hard jig fisherman and a co-angler beat me severely pitching the sweet beaver to the same cypress trees I just pitched to with a jig. Long story short he gave me a package of sweet beavers in the payback color and I have been fishing them ever since. My (2) PB’s 9+ lbs we’re caught on a beaver. I never paid attention to the packaging until a salesman in Bass Pro Shop Bossier City told me about the packaging and that’s why BPS didn’t sell them. Although the pictures are somewhat provocative I wouldn’t exactly call them nude. My wife and I are Christians and have morals Currently we still use the baits and hopefully we are not judged or condemned for doing so. We respect ✊ your choice not to use them. Maybe we need to pray about it. Cheers
David Dudley Outdoors By NO means do I agree with or intentionally support pornography or adult nude stores. I know exactly what a beaver is and sad to say that I know the British slang for beaver as well. Perhaps we shouldn’t even use the terminology of “Beaver Style Baits” made by other manufacturers. I know nothing about the man or woman who developed the bait other than rumors. I try my best not to judge people most especially based on rumors. I fall short of the glory of god everyday. I think 🤔 you are a great 👍 father, husband and fisherman. I love what you do for you community and the kids. May God Bless You many times over.
Greatly respect your stand David. At some point people have to say enough is enough to the moral degradation of our culture. It may seem like a small thing to some but the small things are how we got where we are today. I won’t be buying any Reaction innovation products too many others to choose from.
Thanks for the tips and tricks. I use a beaver bait a lot and sometimes they do ball up on me....will compare the “J” bend of the brand I use with others. 👊🏼👊🏼
The trokar really seems to eliminate the balling up in the hook bend you described. Basically the cutting point is on top and busts through really easily. I waste a lot more baits on snags and such but I think you'd like the hookup ratio.
duane mccarron cartoon silhouettes of girls is exploiting? Who exactly is being exploited? The female figure? Dont go to Italy... ever. You will be too offended by the nudity. Oh and you cant watch football. Cheerleaders are offensive. Oh and you cant buy gas... cause middle-easterners dont believe in womans right. Give me a break.
Try the big bite fighting frog it has a slit cut for your hook that eliminates most of the ball up in the j of a hook. I have the same problem with normal beaver style baits but with the fighting frog by big bite it seems to eliminate most of that and I get a little better hookup ratio.
Personal preference, but i always use EWG superline hook (3/0). My hook up ratio is great. Try both and decide for yourself, that's the beauty of fishing!
Thanks for the beaver breakdown. I tend to use these on bluff walls and rocky points with some success. Like you said the hook up ratio seems off on these but I do get bites. I'm not sure if you use tubes much but up north where I live they are good with the smallies. I haven't used them much but my fishing partner is keen on them, if you have some suggestions on them I would like to hear it. PS: never noticed the packaging on the reaction innovation baits. I guess my mind was more on what was in the pack:)
Reaction Innovation has changed their packaging. I use a ton of NETBAIT products, I love the Paca series, but there are a few things RI makes that I love to use like the Pocket Rocket.....that’s about the only one I use from them
Great info everything helps for sure! If you get time do the video on the chatter bait opposed to throwing a spinner bait. Also difference in a Jackhammer than just the regular. Other than 15.00. Two things I hear so many different opinions on these things. Thanks for passing along you knowledge to help us fish better.
Not sure why but beaver baits and I are not friends... decreased hook-up ratio is definitely a factor but I feel like craws just do better. I really like your tackle videos, keep em coming mah friend!
Good video David, I have had good luck with the Pit Boss. Can your next video be "How to catch bass on the North end of Lake Gaston"? I have a tournament there next weekend and only had time to spend last Sunday there .LOL
I've used reaction Innovation and didnt have a clue about that wow.But recently I've been liking the BPS Riverbug it's a beaver style bait .Have you ever tried them and what's your thoughts David.I have no idea why you dont have more Subscribers .You give more tips than anyone on any channel period 👍
I love that z craw for punchin', only problem I have is not enough places I can punch. What little bit I've done, oh man that is so addictive, I could punch all day if I had the water for it!
Great video DD. Question....I was thinking about what you were saying in regards to hookup ratio and I was wondering if using an EWG and tec spose it would land more fish than a round bend or straight shank since the hook point is already through both sides of the beaver. Just curious of your thoughts
It was a package that was given to me 10 years ago and was tucked away in my extra tote. I haven't bought a package from them since he first came out and I got convicted!
👊👍respect for not being afraid to say how you feel about reaction innovation and using a diffrent company for it. Personally doesnt bother me but respect all the same
David I use beaver baits a lot but have always used an EWG hook with them. I was very surprised when you said use a straight shank j hook for them. Would you mind explaining why an EWG hook is not your preferred hook for this bait. Thanks man. I know the response might be long and if it’s to time consuming for you to explain I understand. But I’m very curious.
Not sure why you would use a straight j hook on a beaver tail which gives no room for a bait of that size to push down out of the way of the hook. And if you hook a beaver tail bait properly with a offset hook where the hook lays across the top of the bait where all beaver trails have a groove on it where the hook lays. Then when the fish bites it don't bunch up in the hook instead it literally pushes the bait down and out of the way of the hook.
I actually care more that you have an opinion than what others might think of your opinion. With that said you're wrong... Nah, just trollin'. Now you mentioned a wide J. What size? 3/0, 4/0, or bigger?

Just came across this video and I like how you stand for your values and won't promote those guys.
I love the reaction innovation packaging and marketing its cool and fun.

Never noticed the packaging before. Was too busy looking at the baits.
same, i actually looked at the packaging for mine and there is nothing graphic just purple scale texture
Same here. Had to go look.
You really look at it Dudley. A beaver bait really mimics a crawfish in a very specific way. I guess that's why bass love them so much. Good one Dudley.
Reaction innovations changed the package graphics. Just solid black on the edges now.

One more thing you forgot the Biffle bug for beaver baits. Definitely throw a biffle bug! Tommy biffle is like the king of flipping!
Thanks for explaining about the beaver baits, especially about the correct hook to use. Keep making the videos i do notes on every one.
I really needed this one. I rarely use beaver baits. I'm taking notes.
Glad I could help Warren
Another great one by the DD himself. Thanks for what you do.
That's happened to me using a beaver bait with it balling up. doesn't happen all the time but I've lost fish due to the balling up.. Love the videos. As well as the little nuggets of tricks and tips.
Love the videos. Always enjoy your explanations on baits and how they should be used.
Thank you Brian
This is the best presentation I have seen
Learning a lot, thanks, there's always exceptions to the rule and no absolutes as well. But when AOY DD speaks, I'm a believer. You said the same when explaining bass behavior during the pre, spawn and post. Keep teaching us
Love the “honest” information you put out there……….Great job, can’t wait for the next video.
Thank you Robby

Thanks David for another great lesson God bless
Dudleyi really like this bait on the spawning beds and on the jig used as a trailer
It don't matter when they are on the bed... it works week with a jig
@@DavidDudley well
Great video! Your opinion is backed by numerous tournament wins as well as AOY’s. Not to mention you fish for a living! Let the haters hate
Great series in tackle cave. I was looking for a bush hog video lol. Thanks for your time.
Might do that!
i Can’t stop watching you are the man
Thanks for all of your information. Keep them coming
I caught a bass the other day and it spit up a large black beetle type water bug. And I think that’s what bass think beaver baits are. Thats my 2 cents. Great video man keep it up. 👍🏼🇺🇸
Could be that also! It's the unknown
I like the Missile Baits Destroyer. Good stuff DD. FLC
You know what they say, if you don’t have haters you aren’t doing it right.
As for me, I’m a big fan of the Missile Baits D-Bomb.
Timely topic. I have had, just this week some beaver experiences. Using the Berkley Max-scent beaver as a jig trailer, I've caught some nice fish this week, and today I had a mega bass on. I hit her twice but she still managed to spit my SK structure jig. So fun.
Thanks for doing this for us. Really helps guys like me
Always a pleasure.
Noticed the bites were more than my hook up ratio. Thanks you for the hook suggestion.
Great video David, love the in depth tackle cave stuff👍
Good job as always. I love that pit boss.it works for me.
You can bend out your hook a little and it will help with your hook ups if you don’t have the bigger J hooks. Thanks David for all that you do for the sport! God bless.
This video was great David, I literally have been trying to figure out why Ive been missing the hook up or losing fish when I'am punching grass mats after I switched from brush hog to a beaver bait and the ball up theory makes 100% sense.
Complete eye opener thanks.
Funny i just bought a beaver style bait and can use all the help i can get, thanks.
Good video David ! We need the ultimate senko guide by the senko sensei david dudley
Hahah Jeff it's coming

Thank you C they really don't bother me I just see stupidity alot in what they comment!
David Dudley Outdoors It’s dissapointing that you use a fans blind support to substantiate your views rather than questioning the sillyness of your RI boycott. This video has more thumbs down than ive ever seen on your stuff. Wonder why?
Thank you very much for the lesson !!! God bless you and your family !!;
Im hitting the like button just because of the comment about reaction innovations. On an equal note, enjoyed the video!!!

Look at the names and colors! What do u think a beaver is? Rumor also he owns 3 adult nude stores

I have to say it is my favorite flipping style baits for sure.
Another nice video of you showing stuff
Thanks for the tips and tricks. I use a beaver bait a lot and sometimes they do ball up on me....will compare the “J” bend of the brand I use with others. 👊🏼👊🏼
Once again very good video an I still need an autograph haha have a good year in 2020.
Yessir I Love the Pitt Boss! Thanks David D! #RippinLipsInc.
Really good video really enjoyed it thanks for advice keep up the good work 👍
Awesome big fan.
Thank you Robby
If you happen to get near to Jordan Osborne, bump his boat, he's my Brother in law
I just bought some kinky beavers so excited cant wait to use them
My favorite beaver-style knock off is the Sweet P, by Case Plastics!
Never seen them
Small company
The trokar really seems to eliminate the balling up in the hook bend you described. Basically the cutting point is on top and busts through really easily. I waste a lot more baits on snags and such but I think you'd like the hookup ratio.
I use them on a the wide gap spot remover by buckeye lures with great success.
Love the beaver style baits,enjoyed this baits,and why do most people use straight shank hooks and no longer traditional worm hook and EWG HOOKS?
High 5 David! Appreciate the stance! Exploitive marketing by RI. I prefer Biffle bugs or D Bombs when throwing that style bait
duane mccarron cartoon silhouettes of girls is exploiting? Who exactly is being exploited? The female figure? Dont go to Italy... ever. You will be too offended by the nudity. Oh and you cant watch football. Cheerleaders are offensive. Oh and you cant buy gas... cause middle-easterners dont believe in womans right. Give me a break.
Good tips thanks Aoy Flw champion David Dudley you rock
Thank you Jonhah
Hi man I like these type of video's and that take cave is awsome
Try the big bite fighting frog it has a slit cut for your hook that eliminates most of the ball up in the j of a hook. I have the same problem with normal beaver style baits but with the fighting frog by big bite it seems to eliminate most of that and I get a little better hookup ratio.
David Dudley Outdoors Beaver vs. a Jig?? Which do you like better?
Would an extra wide gap hook help or hurt your hook up percentage with the plastic bending?
I don't like the eatra wide gap. The needle part of the J is to short it needs to be longer! Straight shank flipping
Personal preference, but i always use EWG superline hook (3/0). My hook up ratio is great. Try both and decide for yourself, that's the beauty of fishing!
I would enjoy fishing with you for a simple reason... hear you yell at the fish that don’t get hooked up haha love the videos!
Thanks for the beaver breakdown. I tend to use these on bluff walls and rocky points with some success. Like you said the hook up ratio seems off on these but I do get bites. I'm not sure if you use tubes much but up north where I live they are good with the smallies.

Thumbs up again. David can you explain when you would use traditional jig vs beaver style. Thanks again.
Good suggestion
Great video! Thanks!
Love the pit boss
Good info DD. Can you do a video on pegging your weight? I have noticed some guys put a peg a couple inches above the sinker.
good tips man. thanks
Can you make a video talking about high percentage hook up baits? If you haven’t already.
As always, I look forward to your video
That’s my favorite creature bait out there
Thanks
we all want to catch multiple fish on one bait but a softer beaverbait would i think help landing percentage is that why you perfer the pitboss
Not sure why but beaver baits and I are not friends... decreased hook-up ratio is definitely a factor but I feel like craws just do better. I really like your tackle videos, keep em coming mah friend!
Another good video. I like the kvd rodent.. what are your thoughts on size? I feel like some are too big for where I fish here in Tennessee.
You’re a better man than I brother.
On my wife’s phone it’s in the 2-4 inch range could be craw or bluegill l agree but the 2-4 is important
Good video David, I have had good luck with the Pit Boss. Can your next video be "How to catch bass on the North end of Lake Gaston"? I have a tournament there next weekend and only had time to spend last Sunday there .LOL
Great info as always
Does that same theory apply for the kicker action on a jig trailer? Water temp?
Yes Greg
I've used reaction Innovation and didnt have a clue about that wow.But recently I've been liking the BPS Riverbug it's a beaver style bait .Have you ever tried them and what's your thoughts David.I have no idea why you dont have more Subscribers .You give more tips than anyone on any channel period 👍
What about that EWG style hook?
I love that z craw for punchin', only problem I have is not enough places I can punch. What little bit I've done, oh man that is so addictive, I could punch all day if I had the water for it!

So what are you doing with the package?
It was a package that was given to me 10 years ago and was tucked away in my extra tote. I haven't bought a package from them since he first came out and I got convicted!
👊👍respect for not being afraid to say how you feel about reaction innovation and using a diffrent company for it. Personally doesnt bother me but respect all the same
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment!
Love your vids and congrats on aoy
Thank you for the info big dog 👊🏻
Can you do a video on the phuzzy beaver by riot baits please? (Or mention it on a livestream)
David I use beaver baits a lot but have always used an EWG hook with them. I was very surprised when you said use a straight shank j hook for them. Would you mind explaining why an EWG hook is not your preferred hook for this bait. Thanks man. I know the response might be long and if it’s to time consuming for you to explain I understand.

Did they still make the netbait b bug?
Thanks for ruining Reaction Innovations packaging forever for me David 😂😂😂 never noticed what the designs were til you said something about it lol
Could resemble a Dodson fly
Worlds most purchased “Beaver Bait” is......(drum role)........a Corvette!
ba dum dum tss!
I'm partial to the D-bombs and Baby D-bombs
Yes I like them also!

I agree with the poor hook ups when TX rigged, however I use beaver-style baits most often as jig trailers.
I agree
I actually care more that you have an opinion than what others might think of your opinion. With that said you're wrong... Nah, just trollin'. Now you mentioned a wide J. What size? 3/0, 4/0, or bigger?
Maybe a Leach....
