The natural color pinfish is probably my favorite live target swimbait I have caught tons of snook, reds, and trout on them. The golden croaker is also money. I will say the hook could be a little more stout for bigger fish.
Absolutely love the lure reviews and this style video thanks for the awesome content Justin !
Thank you!!
I like that someone is testing these baits
I absolutely slay snook on the mullet ones
@@brettstaley3730 I haven’t tried them yet but all of my local bait shops have them
@@Dink_master_fishing get them they are phenomenal but cut the fin on top off you will hook way more fish
After you caught the first snook, I noticed the lure already lost an eye. I put liquid super glue on all the eyes of this type of swimbait. Seems to help keep the eyes from falling out.
👉👌👍
It's disappointing that you'd have to take such an expensive lure and then modify it like that right out of the box
@@alexanderren1097 I put the glue over the eye so it's complete covered, and the liquid glue stays clear. I do the same thing with all my jig heads that have the glue on eyes. If you don't, the eyes will fall off........guaranteed.
@@jimb3457 Yes I understood your first post. My point is that you shouldn't need to do that at all with a lure that's this expensive. They should either make the eyes more robust or put the glue on at the factory.
@@alexanderren1097 I bought a couple expensive ball head jigs a short while back. Used one with a swimbait for about 20 minutes and caught no fish. Looked at the damn thing, and one of the eyes was missing. Forgot to put the super glue on.
I see your point, but a lot of this stuff comes out of China although Livetarget is out of Canada.Maybe they have crappy glue in Canada. Just use the liquid super glue.....and go fishin. Life ain't perfect.
I need more places like this to go with my paddle board great stuff Justin
Great video. Man it does confirm that I would not be one who thrives as a paddle board fisherman. Hopefully you get the Gheenoe back online soon.
As for the Live Target target, you were definitely getting reaction strikes within the first few seconds of the bait landing. I'm not sure how definitive that would be.
I think you'd have to pull a page from Luke Simonds and have that lure on one combo and a same length simple white/perl paddle tail on another. And then just make three casts with one, switch rods, make three cats with the other, switch rods, on and on and on, and catch quite a few fish in the process and then go back and look at the efficacy of this or that lure.
I for one don't place too much stock in lures that try really too hard to be overly photorealistic. I think 90% of the job is understanding the conditions in which the fish will be feeding, then finding those fish in that mode on the day of. I think you can zip tie a treble hook to a mangrove pod on a day like that and catch fish. Other days you could be tripping over fish and they won't bite.
Look like a great day on the water nonetheless. The one thing good about the paddle board is it's nice to be in the back country again.
Nice videos! Love the reviews on the lures. Keep up the great work... see you out there!
One of my favorite lures to use! Nicely done 💪
I like to reel them in just enough that the tail starts to move.
Love the video fella!! Seen you had a penn fantom lp and was wondering what size you’re using and if you had a review on the reel? Thanks for the content.
Bro you make me wanna go catch some snook now 🔥and what is your setup on your rod and reel? And line and line leader
Cut the dorsal fin off. That’s how I’ve had more landed then bites. It opens up the gap for the hook.Great lure and awesome videos!
I did the same with mine. Cut it down a bit and worked way better.
Love your vids bro, could you maybe consider doing a review on the livetarget hollow body mullet. Thanks!
Yeah I’ll try my best!
Your a FUCKING LEGEND Justin 💯🦾👀🤙
That spaceman sticker is SICK!
jmfishco.com !
Ur my inspiration man!!
Amazing shots in this one.. so proud of you
I love you!
Hey Justin, are you familiar with new Smyrna beach
Nice catch buddy
Thank you!
Love the vids bro, also what size and power rod would you recommend for throwing 3-5 inch paddle tails and live bait? Looking at the fenwick elite inshore but don’t know what size
Prob 7’6 heavy!
I clip the top fin enough to expose the hook. Had the same issue with the mullet version of those from live target then clipped em and had no issues
If you take a pair of scissors and gently cut that fin down the ridges to where it's not 1 solid piece yet still looks like it is, you will hook up with more fish instead of that fin having to roll over. 😉
I like your hat bro🤙🏽
I use the Live Target menhaden and Academy Sports Crazy Croaker. Super glue to glue them back together and a gold and black sharpie to color it back up and the eyes. Check out my tarpon catches here in Jacksonville.
I’m a huge fan

@@eccentricsmithy2746 I am not a simp
Thank you!!
Nice fishes 👏👏👏
Does anyone know what baitcaster reel it is? It looks to be either the penn squall or penn fathom. Also any ideas on what the rod is I know it’s fenwick but im curious on what the specs are
Great video! I know this was a year ago but, do you think this bait is heavy enough to get down deeper around bridges?
You gotta put a treble hook on the bottom of pin fish hommie
Those baits won’t run true without you adding a treble hook to the bottom of those baits. Where’s Maggie? Lol
Do you like the live target mullet or pinfish better?
Super vid! Type and test line?
I always rip that top fin off to get a better hook up and it doesn't seem to mess with the action any
🔥 vid
I used a orange color looking 1 its a must have i use daily
Excellent video as usual,
train-horn guy.
Nice train horn.
I put in-line hook on the bottom still haven’t gotten hit on it though. Had a live target mullet too but lost it on the first cast 😢 have you used the live target mullet?
19:19 amazing 👉👌👍 salam kenal dari Indonesia 🙏🇮🇩
Lure review of Slayer Inc Lures??! 👀
Live target pin fish isn't that great. I like the live target mullet way better. I catch alot of different species with it. I even used it fresh water in the Netherlands and caught a bunch of 3-4ft pike with it. I actually had more success with it when pike fishing then any other lure I used. I use my lures differently though, I jerk it to the surface and let it fall, on the fall is where I get most of the hits.
I think sometimes less is more. Sometimes the super “realistic” baits look super unnatural in the water imo
Bro I’ve lost so many good fish off their live target croaker. The hooks are their biggest downfall.

Send me and nldn
Awesome video Bud
Thanks 👍
You need to get you a micro anchor for that thing
That's a beast
