- Today we continue the conversation about knock off lures and the state of the bass fishing industry! Give us your thoughts down in the comment section! You can visit our online tackle shop at dreamcatchersfishing.com/
Love this video and the previous one
Just bought a knock off tiny klash. Don’t feel bad what so ever. First of all it’s $100 and I get that a ton of time, effort, and research go into making them, but I still think that may be a little steep. More importantly if I wanted to get my hands on one for a $100 I couldn’t. To get a decent pattern it’s more like $180 up.
Holy cow I’m so glad I found your channel!!! Im so sick of these pro CZcams channels! I need real information. I have to find my own way because I feel missed lead in bass fishing. But I will be checking your channel out bro. God bless.
Thanks man. We are tied to nobody, we just like fishing what we feel like is the best equipment for any scenario! No brand loyalty, just loyalty to the game!
@@Frostin_Austin can you do a video of your lures of choice year around. And something on weather conditions. I fish three PFAs in my area of Dublin and Eastman ga, and they get a lot of pressure. I have a hard time finding bass and getting bites. It’s hit and miss. I think I have the answer ( slow down and use finesse baits) but like to see what you have to say on the matter. And lastly, I would love to start a bait shop in Laurans co Ga but I have no money lol. There is a bait shop here but they are rapping folks since there is no academy or bass pro in Dublin. But one day I can. God bless brother.
Dang. Facts!!
Loved this video. This was the one that got my sub finally
No offense intended, KVD did say he was using a duo spy bait. The stunna isn't a knock off unlike the Lucky Strike.... it has different action (sinking) than mega bass, and FYI Hank Cherry was already under contract with Berkely when he won using the mega bass. In fact the reason he wasn't using the Berkley Cutter jerkbait was its poor castability. He went in and they discontinued the whole cutter line and they redesigned what is now the Stunna. Strike king bought a license to the rage tail paddle design patent - guess what? So did googan. Evergreen aka jackhammer bought a license from z-man to produce their own chatterbait..... so did strike king for the thunder cricket. The true knockoffs aggravates me as well but please inform yourself and point your finger in the right direction because you do have a good channel. Again please take my comments as informative not a bash because that's what I intended.
Preach brother preach. Everything you stated is why I stick with the OG lures. It's the OG lures that made that luer so popular if they didn't catch a crap ton of fish they wouldn't have taken off like they did.
The knock offs are NEVER as of the same quality. I got a ko tk just because my buddy painted it and I never use it.
These guys put so much of there time to put out good quality baits. I 100% agree with u
Nothing but facts here! 👍👍
Amen to this video!! Wish the industry would get behind this. But Ive been fishing for years and these last couple years Ive caught more fish on the Krackin Kraw, i know nobody wants to believe it but I always try the rage craw first, idk if its the scent or the action of the bait bc the k. kraws are a lot softer than the rage craws they do not last long at all. But I still like the rage craw more bc its Original, 6th sense is knocking off megabass with everything they make and it's weird nobody will talk about it..
Love your videos and your comments. I'm a Shimano reel / ALX rod guy though. Great comment on BPS. It has been really obvious in the catalog most of all. Years ago the brand names dominated the pages, now every section leads with the BPS brand and then maybe one page of name brands after the BPS stuff.
If the originator is holding back production and hacking up the price well then someone else can now take advantage and make a knock off for cheaper . What most people don’t realize is these bait drops and unavailability is done on purpose to drive up the cost of the original. Most of these baits are cheap to make and produce but they want $100 - $150 each . Plus now tons of people are buying up to resell on secondary market .
I agree 100%. I refuse to support Berkley for this reason and you will never catch me throwing their Cullshad...
I 100% agree. I have lost so much respect for people in the fishing industry. ICAST this year was a joke. The Berkly Gilly Best of Show. Give me a break. That bait has been around for awhile. But because a popular angler attaches his name to it people go nuts for it like teenage girls do for a boyband. It's one thing to copy and bait (still not cool) but to get an award for copying a bait! that's disgusting. Then to watch " respected " people in the industry suck up saying how innovative this person was to create such a bait. How hard was it to go to Japan and take someone's ideas and hard work. Also, Googan bait are made cheaply on purpose. It's actually a very brilliant marketing move. They were made for their CZcams followers who are from the ages of 10 years old to about 18 years old. They would tell their parents they want to be like their favorite CZcamsr and convince them to buy them. Parents who wanted their kids to go outside would pay any amount of money for these baits just to get little Jonny off the video games. Parents think these guys are famous their baits must be the best not knowing the same thing right beside them cheaper from Strike King. A kids attention span is about five minutes. Sell them at a higher price so you a least get them for a few bucks just incase they loose interest or, if they stick with it they become brand loyal and buy them forever a whatever price you want. Look at the pros they sponsor. It's brilliant absolutely brilliant. Great video..
I never said it's not brilliant! They have their strategy mapped out well, I just scratch my head at the copy cats!
Ime trees & rocks break rods..
The anglers brain is more important than the lure.
Awesome video, I’m a tackle junkie and love tackle from Japan! I purchase from online Japan tackle shops and the quality of the lures is never in question! I’m not saying that there are no knockoffs in Japan just look at the soft stick baits (Cover scat, Poopstick, Ima Ripper). Thanks for your perspective 👍
Yep everyone does it...even 6th sense., I hate when the pros do the rod, reel and line switching from year to year.... My understanding is that strike king forced their pros to use Lew's or they would be dropped
It’s annoying
I have only been watching your channel for a short time. I think I first saw you on a Smallmouth Crush Live. You have become on of my favorites in short time. Your willingness to express your honest opinion vs holding back like so many others is truly refreshing. I hope all of you businesses continue to prosper in 2022
Thanks for following and thanks for the encouragement!
Truth in what you say. I fish touraments and have no sponsorship. I fish with what works. I use Gloomis, Shimano reels, Zoom plastic's ECT. I know shimano's last, I have some that's 30 some years old still going strong
That's the way it should be. Fish what works!
I don't like entry level daiwas..but the rest are high grade reels..
When I refer to Daiwa I'm referring to the Tatula Series and up!
Daiwa and Shimano are my favorite brands of reels. I haven’t fished a general. Does the senko have a better shimmy on the fall?
So your saying the 11 baits for a penny from Salt Strong is a knock off or not worth it??? Haha, hope all is well, love the honesty, need more of this!!!
PREACH!
Austin Great Video and agree. Can't get away from that Daiwa equipment! Great Stuff
Haha love it! OF COURSE its me when I'm not catching fish! Who can say otherwise with a straight face!! If I am not catching I am either on the wrong part of the lake, on the wrong lake, fishing the wrong time of day, fishing the wrong depth, throwing the wrong STYLE of bait not brand, working the bait wrong... or doing one of 100 other things wrong that I cannot think of off the top of my head! Keep up the good work, Austin.
About time. Thank you
I’m with you 💯 and my son produced all the television and livestream for FLW for 16 years and I went to tournaments and was even a boat driver and I believe in integrity and I have been a follower and sub of your channel for only a couple of years, but I’ve respected your honesty always.
“ Cream always rises to the Top “ and I’ve never used a googan brand product for a reason, I’m a super fan of ZMAN,and Megabass, Nishine and some Strike King. I’ve been fishing since I was 4-5 years old in Kentucky and I am retired now in Raleigh NC. I’m hoping to get my son and plan a guide trip with you now that I’m retired 🤷🏻♂️😎🎣🔨🎣🙏 God Bless You 🙏
Thanks for the love! It’s a stain on the industry, I just believe guys can be honest and give credit where credit is due! C’mon we’ll go beat’em up!
I 100% agree with you that there is dishonesty and misleading in the industry by pros and reps. $$$$ is driving that and will always….therefore I really don’t pay much attention to any sponsored fisherman or rep when it comes to specific items (lure, line, rod, reel, boat, etc.), but will listen to general knowledge or techniques.
However, as far as the lures. The consumer will always benefit from competition in the industry (even knock offs). There is a fine line between “knock off” and innovative improvements or price point alternatives. However, all of it is industry competition and benefits the consumer with price options and lure options……as long as you know what you are buying and you understand you are not getting a Megabass when you purchase Berkley. If Zaldain markets a googan swimbait is better than Megabass then that will ultimately reveal who he is, but again…don’t listen to someone getting paid when they are talking specific products. Talk to those with experience using the product but doesn’t reap any benefits from it other than more fish in the boat!
Googan Baits = "Hold My Beer"
You're saying what many of us have been thinking.
Knockoffs are a big problem in the big Swimbait scene imo
Agreed, I’m INFURIATED at the DRT knockoffs the most!
I can't support what I can't get. There all over Swimbait Underground or Universe, but it's either used or someone trying to flip it. No body wants to buy a used or new car over msrp right? DRT has no excuse of supply even before covid, for a plastic bait.
Great video. I throw the rage craw and googan craw interchangeably depending on color availability. They are the exact same bait to me, but you are dead on about the rage craw lasting longer. The krackin craws are just a little softer plastic and get wrecked a bit easier.
Same, I’ve used my fair share of the crackin craws when I’m sold out of SK rage craws. I just can’t stand somebody saying “they’re better” and have nothing to back it up other than touching themselves while watching some fisherman with 1Million subs catch a starving pond fish on one.
Not going to lie. First time checking out the googan baits, my brother and I thought, dang...they stole strike kings perfect plastic formula.
Well said!
I want you to dream.... that's why they call you the dream catcher 😁
New subscriber just watched video I'm so glad you made this I'm 60 years old been bass fishing for long time it's getting out of hand some original baits they stop making because of this thanks for video
Great points, definitely spot on, a lot of copies out there and the originators get swept away. I’ve made lures my entire life, early on survived my Mom after she found out I cut the end off one of the spoons in the kitchen and made a lure out of it. That was almost fifty years ago after seeing a spoon lure in a picture and couldn’t afford to buy one, so I made one and it worked. It’s ok to make them for yourself but if you going to sell them, give credit where it’s due and compensate the originator, that’s the right thing to do. Greatly enjoy your videos and look forward to hearing more about your new business venture.
Awesome! Love that story and I’m excited about the business venture! It’s going to change the industry!
I recently started buying my baits from local bait makers and it is amazing how creative they are, not to mention they will make a bait to you exact specifications. Plus, keeping money flowing in the local economy. That’s for the video!
Thank you for your straight up honesty, love it! All about the money, not integrity.
Good guys no doubt but industry is headed in the wrong direction, fun has become a sellout.
It’s crazy that some of these brands say their the best when they are not.
Is a Megabass 110 an improved knock off of a Old rebel, Rapala or Smithwick. Is a duo realis spybait a sinking devil horse? Most of the Japan brands try to make improved versions of the best out there. The whopper plopper is a knocked off muskie bait that is 40 years old.
I agree there are innovators and there are a lot of copiers. The 13 fishing jabber jaw and 6th sense axis were both innovative and different. The Stunna not innovative. Maxscent and power bait innovative.
There’s definitely some give and take from every company.
Right. And every square bill is a knock off of the Big O. No one gives credit to the originator. Why hate any one specific company? Full disclosure: I'm sponsored by MTB/Catch Co.
@@TheOutdoorDude The Big O still was and is a good lure and was innovative.
Simply there are well made lures and junk , also innovators and many copiers.
I am not that familiar with MTB / Catch co other than I think it is based here in the Chicago area and Ike reps it.
@@lightningmusky5286 The Big O will always rule! I ALWAYS keep a few in the box. Catch Co collabs with Googan baits on most of their hard baits. In good faith I have to reveal I'm biased. BUT I've been making videos for years and used their products before I was sponsored. It's been my experience that they are really good products.
@@TheOutdoorDude Nothing wrong with that, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Many people think of the Googans as the MTV Jackass fishing. They may be successful but a lot of people don’t respect them. It is what it is.
You are 100% correct.
I agree with everything you said. That’s why I like the G Man. He was catching fish using a non sponsored bait, called his sponsor and asked” what do I say when they ask what I was using” . His sponsor said tell the truth. And he did. Hats of to both Gerald Swindle and his sponsor. As for as innovation cut back on the profit margins. Not just in the fishing industry but everywhere . Love the videos. Keep up the outstanding job
100% spot on! Great Video!
Wait it’s me, not the baits?
I like you keeping it real.
Truth bro!!! If a company expects a pro to lie on their behalf so they can make a dollar it’s wrong. Whatever happened to integrity??
That’s what I’m saying.
They have ko blanks for bait painters to paint them as well but we don’t claim we design them make them but at same time I do create wood baits as well and yes it takes time
Austin,, everything you said i completely agree with you, it bothers me as well and I won’t buy any knock off bait only the originals,,, I’m annoyed now that the megabass dark sleeper is now getting knocked off ,, ugh. ,,
They’re all getting knocked off.
@@Frostin_Austin it’s a damn shame man,,
There's certainly something to be said about the number of knockoffs. That boils down to price. This past year I started fishing with a Nikko Hellgrammite. A lot of stores won't carry them because they don't want a product that is going to last. They are also $8 for a pack of four, to me they're worth it but to others they probably look overpriced. You never know how something is going to perform until you try but it's kind of hard to try things that are a limited production or are scalped to the bejesus...
Agree 100%
What rods do you use? I’m also looking for a good beginner swim bait rod. I have a kgb chad shad and kgb crappie on the way
Very well said Austin!
Couldn’t agree more! I’ll pay more to get the premium baits and support the brands that I feel are pushing this sport forward!
No doubt 🙌🏽
My man over here stepping on toes like its Sunday morning!
Any lure company that has ever made a straight tail worm is knocking off Creme Lure Co....because they were the originators of the first plastic worm.
😂 I mean technically you’re right. I’ve only seen creme in the natural looking worm color. I’m sure they made other colors, right?
One that I think of every time I see an angler lying about a bait I think about Byron Velvick throwing a Jointed Claw at G-ville and saying it was a Livingston Glide bait
OH MY GOSH I remember that! That was ANOTHER BRUTAL EXAMPLE! And then Livingston came out with a piece of crap glide bait. Unreal!
Hey man great vid as always. What do you think about the diawa rebellion swimbaits rod? Thinking about getting one I'm up north don't throw anything to big maybe 3&1/2 ounces.would love to get your opinion. Thanks man
I haven’t used it yet, I really like the rebellions, they’re very light which I like for fish ability but I tend to notice lighter rods tend to have less material. I like (and have) the rebellion finesse stuff but I really like their DXSB for the money (impossible to get) and their elite swimbait rod (also impossible to get).
Well said, I agree!!!
Oh, and to drive the point home...to your point...if I'm not catching fish. It's the fisherman that's the problem. I'll raise my hand.....YEP I've got (fish'n) problems. :-) I need help and that's why I value experts like yourself to solve MY problems.
I appreciate your trust in me!
What is your opinion on dobyns rods? I been thinking of buying one that will throw anything from a senko to a frog. At no more than $200.. now I currently use a googan go to and it is a very good rod so far. I haven't hooked into anything over 5lbs to truly see how it holds up tho.
I have four Dobyns swimbait rods and three Daiwa swimbait rods, the rest of my conventional rods are Daiwa. I’m a real big fan of the Dobyns! Champion and Fury series! You can get them on our website
This is why most people don’t listen to professional fisherman s lure advice anymore.
Austin, Googans have permission from Steve Parks (owns rage tail) to do their designs. In fact Steve designs the baits for googans. Just FYI.
Interesting, I still dont like googan!
This video and topic (such as the Strike King/KVD/Spybait situation) is exactly why I’m no longer playing the “pro staff” game. The dishonesty and games being played regionally and nationally is downright unethical.
You are right in every sense of your opinion and tbh, I’m now subbed to your channel because “real talk” needs to happen right now.
For BP, yes he got screwed by Pure. But now, he’s using elite products and those Alpha Angler rods are amazing. They’re very well known throughout the Northwest ;)
Lol at the “pro staff” guys haha! Dudes just trying to put stickers on their boats to feel special! Grown men looking for their worth in plastic and adhesive… I ain’t tied to anyone, I just prefer using the best from EVERYBODY 🙌🏽
@@Frostin_Austin I was one! Once I learned the "big pro staff" game and how contracts work, I saw the red flags. Ultimately, these companies increase market share on the tails of others. If you aren't pro-level, you're still buying product at a discount and selling product for the company without compensation. Discounts only help for so long lol..
For Swimbaits and product design, it really is unfortunate that we are seeing more knock-offs. But I also think a lot of big bait guys/gals understand that and try to support originators.
"Ethics" in the fishing industry is a playlist you should start, imagine what we'll be talking about in 5 or 10 years lol.
I think swimbait guys are definitely more acutely aware of who the scammers are. But I’ve been thinking about all the problems with the fishing industry and I’m going to keep letting my thoughts fly and they’ll land where they land.
@@Frostin_Austin for sure, I commend you for speaking up. Good on you for doing so! All support here!
You are absolutely correct the pro's have to lie to keep there money coming in. It's ALL practice baby and daily learning all water IS different. And fishing changes daily and the lures are eye candy for catching fisherman NOT fish.
Im broke lol thats why i dont always buy the original…
These days people have no morals integrity.
So sad!
@@Frostin_Austin not all people choice principles over money. Money can change not only ya neighbors but ya character too. Facts..
Awesome video...100% correct!!!
Great video. My opinion is the same as yours I wish they would just be honest and show the love to the baits they're really using. As a side note when it comes to Daiwa, I have about 30 rod and reel combos and 100% of the reels are daiwa and 90% of the rods are daiwa. I'm on the water over a hundred times a year and I'm telling you there's nothing that beats a daiwa product for the money. By the way I'm pretty sure it's John Crews who doesn't have a reel sponsor he also uses daiwa.
They’re the best. The only reason anglers use other brands is PURELY because of marketing dollars!
John crews is sponsored by daiwa but he got a shimano curado dc for cranking to try last year. I believe he is swapping his tatula 100s to new zillions this year.
@@Shawn_Lai oh ok. Last time I heard him talk about his set up I thought he said he wasn't sponsored by them. Admittedly that was a little while ago.
Totally agree with you. Seems.small guy never gets credit for making stuff and than with no copy right laws in China everyone goes to make and change nothing or very little changes. Really shows.wherr.money goes
Its funny when anglers leave a brand like megabass or shimano and the next day 13 fishing makes the best rod n reels lol
No doubt 😂😂😂 I’m like “really” lol SO FAKE
Bruh big st. Croix fanboy here and similar thing is happening with them, they pretty much made every type of rod you could want under the sun but recently have discontinued quite a few of their rods in their upper and middle tiers and come out with a much smaller and noticeably not as nice rods than what they were previously offering at that price point. Covid kicked this off and it's annoying. Also I don't understand the hate bass guys have for savage gear. A european pike fishing centered company came in and made swimbaits similar to a lot of other pike/musky lures with a much better hook up ratio and just kept expanding into the American market.
Dude. Great vid. Only coming up on 10 years of fishing. Never understood the amount of stealing that goes on and no one doing anything legally about it. Took me a while to realize, but eventually got clued into the goings-on regarding lures and lying about what was used (sometimes) in their tournament win. I understand the need for pro anglers to push the products they are sponsoring, but why lie about what has worked for them in the past? or what the OG's are?
Yeah man, it’s a plague and I believe there is honor and enough to go around for everyone to be successful.
Well done Austin. Keep educating, we ARE listening. Greed is one of the biggest enemies to capitalism. American capitalism, free markets and innovation are what makes our country great. It's corporate and personal greed that give it a bad name. Analogous to the gun (capitalism) and the gun holder (greed). Guns are not the problem.
didnt even mention 6th sense already mass producing these glides and swimbaits now, but still charging near what a custom hand made glide costs. swimbait market will become the same way here soon. hold onto the OG stuff though it’ll skyrocket eventually
TRUE
Agree with your perspective, but to be an opposing voice to most of the comments, that's just not how international production works. With few exceptions, pretty much all of these baits are made in the same handful of factories. I get the perspective of the r&d costs, credit to the originator, etc but that's when they need to patent it.
Why don't more patents and patent challenges take place? Because like you said, pretty much everything has been done and most "innovations" are iterative of something else.
All that "look what we innovated" bullshit is marketing. No different than what Apple does. Shitty fact of reality is we have become accustomed to mass availability at affordable prices. Messed up thing is with inflation and all that affordable isn't even that affordable anymore. Anyway, I digress.
i got a on an incredible flipping bite for like 2 months straight last year and i wanted to put this rage bug vs bandito bug battle to bed. i bought all the same colors in the bandito bug that i use in the rage bug and the result were shocking to say the least. i tried to give the rage bug every advantage i could and the bandito bug destroyed it like 5-7 trips in a row. now my brains a pretzel and i dont how to feel about anything.
😂 haha it happens like that sometimes!
@@Frostin_Austin oh it doesn't end there lol. that bite died at the end of september.... i then proceeded to catch over 70 in 10 trip in October on the berkley max scent creature hawg. crazy dude.
Most companies R&D is just Replicate & Duplicate. I won’t even consider most brands products.
You ain’t lying! So sad!
It’s nice to hear a opinion not motivated my capitalism and been loving the vids keep it up 👍🏽
I’m very pro capitalism but I’m also pro honesty! They can intersect in honest business but they rarely do… in every industry!
Santa Claustin is an OG name! HAHAHA! 🤣 it's sad that it costs less to have something made on the opposite side of the world and shipped here than to have Joe Bob make it at the old Chevy factory downtown. Only thing different about the stunna is 2 mm haha. Anything non-sponsor is a prototype lol. Cherry's first he used the 110 and second berkley put the stunna in his hand instead lol. At least he talked up them fusion 19 hooks on the 110 🤣 it wasn't the 110 that did the work, it was them berkley fusion 19s.... 😂 Googan plastics are the softest and not durable. I think strike king has a patent on the rage flange though, that's why you see all the rage copies have an extra bit of plastic.
😂 yeah it’s weird for sure! And no doubt, I’m like c’mon man, now all the sudden this is better than that???
Bro be spittin!
The knock offs will never stop it's about the $ & I don't see that changing anytime soon. Agree 100% it's not some special bait that catch's the fish it's the fisherman, of course a quality bait can get a good fisherman more bites but not going to turn a bad fisherman into a good one. Diawa makes awesome gear. I also seen Chris Z went to googan, my first thought was WTF did he do that for!!!??? Leaving megabass for googan was a horrible move!!! U really think thier gonna knock off the magdrafts?? I like pulling harnesses out of 8-10" magdrafts & putting beast hooks in them fish them deeper though cover. Some of my favorite swimbaits rigged like that.
I’ve heard early reports they’re coming out with a mag draft so we’ll see.
@@Frostin_Austin well if you have heard it through the grape vine, then your probably right considering your in the industry. I doubt they will b as quality even if they look similar
#teamdaiwa
Preach!
I agree man but now in days everyone is just okay with it because they can get the bait cheaper and more available and thats what everyone cares about is spending money and how available it is for them to able to buy the bait over and over. But then don't realize the original company that took the time to invent that product and the money. They put into it to refining the bait Is completely disrespected. An everyone will be like "but is it available and easy to buy, oh how much does it cost", lmao. Just because things aren't easy to get and gonna cost u a little more. Oh well thats part of fishing if u want a certain bait that no one is using. Then a company will come and knock that bait off and then sells it for half the price and people will be happy because it makes it easier to get.
You hit the nail on the head
Tatula fanatic 🙋♂️
You and me both hero 😂
I look at all these knock offs and don't even waste my time!
finally someone speaking up about al these clown knockoffs.....SUSCRIBED4LIFE!!!!
Thanks for the love
Bro where the fucking klash 9s go
😭😭😭😭 she gone
Dude I need to bring my tackle bag to you and drop it off and say fix this please. Lol
We can do it and we have done it!
Eh the Stunna is bigger profile and sinks. I get what your saying but it isn’t as close as googan baits they are the king of knock offs but I see what your saying.
Idk I still think Berkley is the king of knock offs and have been doing it a lot longer than anyone else
@@thendricks9499 eh, not a single bait from googan is innovative. Berkeley made maxscent which trumps anything googan has, and will ever do.
Im a big fan of your vids
Sadly you lost me when you said the vision 110s suspend out of the box
They do not
You can take most of the paint schemes and they are slow floats in most water conditions
I put suspend strips on mine
There have been plenty of Megabass videos where if you look closely, even the pros who “preach” it suspends out of the box have suspend strips or dots on the baits
I tune everything different, I replace hooks and add O-Rings to most all of my jerkbaits.
I get what you’re saying but it appears that you are in a tackle shop that I’m assuming you own. So where does the “selling out” stop? You disagree with their business practices, but do you disagree enough to not make money for yourself selling their “knock off” products? If people regularly buying Strike King in your shop stopped buying them and started demanding Googan, would you stop making money or start selling Googan? FWIW, Rage Craws are 1000x more durable than a Krackin Kraw. Don’t even get me started on the garbage “lunker log”.
10000000000%
So wouldn’t that make megabass a knock off to rapala. Considering rapala built a jerkbait long before magabass, who built their jerkbaits in the late 90s. Hmmmmm some companies should being paying billions to rapala then.
I hear ya, but I’m talking about baits that’s look almost identical and have the same action. A megabass doesn’t look anything like a husky jerk and they have totally different actions. Where the Berkeley stunna looks identical to a megabass and has the same action.
@@Frostin_Austin the stunna sinks. The 110 floats. No matter the depth of the 110, it floats.. Hank cherry won the classic on a 110 with heavier berkley fusion hooks. So he “created” a jerkbait that did exactly what he wanted it to do. Not the same action. Definitely different. No different than the cane walker and a shower blows. Same thing. Different sounds. Different reactions. Different time for each of them. I prefer the 110 and the SB. Buttttt.. to me. I don’t agreeing with reaping the benefits. Fish what you like and let all else be what it is. Berkley makes good shiz. I don’t agree with your crying.
after investigating the brandon palaniuk claims you made, he was sponsored by daiwa in 2018, and lost his sponsorship at the end of 2017 with abu garcia. Its great you want to sell daiwa products and all. But that is all you are doing. Its not the verified the "Best Equipment" simply because one pro angler uses their reels and not even using their best equipment, Daiwa Rods. Its just a bogus claim to sell what you are most confident in.
