Great video guys. Its really informative on the ins and outs of using I1 Baits Bad Boy Blade Baits. I really liked the tip about working the bait 2-3 times when its vertical. I see so many people just reel it up and cast again. I was also happy to see the color Mike was using. When I visited him and asked him his recommendations for Oneida walleye he handed my that same Perch pattern with the bright belly. Love, love, love the Oneida specific walleye videos. Anyone other than Mike or Matt reading this smash a like and subscribe we need to grow help this channel.
What a wonderful comment, my wife and I just read it and want to thank you for the kind words. thanks for the call to action as well, ease feel free to share the video on your social media and with your friends
Glad to help. I'm not on any social media so I can't help there. I can keep talking this up here though. Has anyone here tried to find walleye specific Lake Oneida info? Well there are very few things out there. This is great for us. Can't wait for the trolling crankbaits video...ha, ha, hint, hint. There over 700 subscribers and around 20 likes COME ON GUYS AND GALS mash the like and share the content!! This is the real deal.
Great to see you guys doing an demonstrational and informative piece on the use of i1baits Bad Boy. I know from talking to Mike in the past, the use of 12 - 14lb fluorocarbon leader, between 18 - 20 inches long, also helps prevent the dreaded hook and line fouling. Tight Lines & Screaming Reels fellas
right on Jay. thanks so much for watching and commenting. it was such a pleasure to fish with Mike and learn the ins and out of his bait directly from him
WOW, that's AWESOME 👌 👏 👍 that's my goal, tobhelp people have more fun and success fishing. please feel free to share my videos on your social media and with your fishing buddies #KUTU
My buddy Craig Sleeman educated me a bit on i1baits and Mike…I’m just excited to get my hands on them and give them a try! Maybe a dumb question…but would this be a successful technique say on Seneca River?
I spike with Craig yesterday as him and I talked about filming together very soon in a location still to be determined. to answer your question, Yes they will catch Walleyes anywhere they swim. the only times I would warn you would be around wood, thick weeds or large boulders as it will get hung up very easily.
Hey Matt whats that color you really like to throw in the morning? It's got a purple back and gold belly I think? Is it called Prince? I1 Baits is out of them. I picked up another of your favorites today, Sand Pike. It should be a great Goby imitator down on the east end in the rocks. I think Mike mentioned the Gobies on that end in this video.
Great video. I’m more of a troller and drifting guy. I started using the blades last year and was constantly getting hook and line tangles. I do use fluorocarbon and use the uni knot to tie my snaps on so any suggestions would greatly be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
they do take a minute to get used to, but 1st I'd suggest bumping up line size of leader to 15 lb +/- 20 to 30 inches long. then stop your line before it hits the water to straighten it out. then after a second or two lift your rod tip to feel for the vibration, if you feel it then all systems are go and it should make it to the bottom unfouled.
@@TheAwakeningAngler Do you and Mike use a barrel swivel between your main line and leader? Also what do you use for your main line. Mine is 10 lb P-line fluorocarbon so I just go straight to the snap. I will up the leader to your recommendations and will change the main line if you think that’s a good idea.
im sure you can use straight flouro, I use braid because it casts better, cuts the water and has less stretch. I use 12 lb seagar yellow label flouro leader because it is a little stiffer. and I use a double uni knot between braid and flouro. no snap
Great Video Guys! I just subscribed to the Channel can’t wait to see more!So I’m assuming you guys are Fishing them on a drift with wind in your Face? What do you reccomend for a good rod for Fishing Blade baits? Reel? Line? Leader? snap? Thanks again for Great info, I’ve been trying to find a good Jigging Blade Bait Video!also thank you both for your Service👊🏻👊🏻
thanks for joining the party, Marty. we drift and cast with the wind at our back, much better feel and bottom contact. and I'll answer the other ones in order. Douglas XMATRIX 683XF Rod any 20-40series spinning reel. 10# Cortland Master Braid 10 or 12 # Cortland top secret fluorocarbon the Rosco snap comes with the blade bait in the package, use an improved cinch knot
You obviously know your stuff so I’d like to pick your brain a little. Your in 19 feet of water. How far of a cast are you making? Also do you have a rule-of-thumb for if you were in 30 feet or 40 feet? Do you ever use the cast-lift-retrieve-repeat method on slopes casting shallow and working it deeper? I fish a large bay that slopes greatly from 15 feet to 70 and I get the walleye at ~30ish feet when I’m anchored jigging the bottom. If I'm drifting I catch very large perch. I haven’t been able to figure out if the walleye are either a) holding in a position waiting for bait to come to them b) roaming at a specific depth and they come to me by chance/attracted by the lure vibration/colors 3) they are moving up and down the slope looking for bait. I appreciate your insight
Hi Andrew, let me try to tell you what I think. If you found the depth the walleyes are in then stay there. Or figure our a way to stay in that depth while Drifting. If you're catching Perch your fishing above the walleyes

Awesome information
Very nice video. I love walleye fishing. Thanks for the fishing tips.
Great educational stuff
I'm so glad you enjoy it

Tell Mike I bought some blades because of you

I picked up another of your favorites today, Sand Pike. It should be a great Goby imitator down on the east end in the rocks. I think Mike mentioned the Gobies on that end in this video.
I throw a black with purple scale tape, a black perch with an orange head or the copper perch.

Improved clinch works good on SLIPPERY super line braids..... just wrap it a doz. times. It'll NEVER slip.
