I’ve read some comments on instagram and some think this is because he did well in the opens. I can assure you no one at googan paid a single bit of attention to who was doing what last year in the opens. This is about getting things straight and we are making massive changes in 2024
@strangleholdoutdoors seems pretty successful too me 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Yeah fuck dem hatter
@@strangleholdoutdoorsyour mom sucks, but that’s about the only good thing about her
So does your mom@@strangleholdoutdoors

6 sense is terrible worst baits I've ever seen
“Not worth my time responding” as he’s responding
Kat Williams got everybody riled up
Is that the true
I really hope this isn't the new meta for 2024....kinda depressing.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
What did Kat Williams do?
Guys they called each other and said lets create fake drama between us. We all stay relevant, views are boosted, baits will sell on both sides, everyone will argue and fuel the fire.....its brilliant.
Because drama and what group you belong to are more important than just fishing and being cool to everyone. This is social media fishing 101.
Some things have to be said
this is what the UFC fighters do sometimes.
@@outofbody6797what are some examples of this? Haha
@@Beenhereawhile1001i mean this isn’t just fishing it’s quite literally EVERY SINGLE category possible on social media even the most MICROSCOPIC ones.. The saddest thing about it is the outrageous amounts of people who are SOOO into the drama going on between people/groups they have absolutely 0 to do with whatsoever that don’t even know they exist that it’s guaranteed to boost your numbers drastically compared to your current average and half of the new numbers had never even heard of or seen either of the people/groups involved in the drama before the drama🤯it’s honestly mind blowing what the world has come to nowadays 😂
Fishing industry is now filled with middle school drama. Awesome!
That that happens when you have sissy CZcamsrs running the show
I miss when fishing was peaceful, now it’s all business for these cats.
Wow, y’all put a tube through a magdraft. That’s awesome, I mean this is a miracle in the industry. Good job Chris!!
😂🤣
😂😂
So innovative, Chris. I sure didn't see that unbelievable ingenuity coming.
Bait of the Century.
Like a Jitterbug in the 20th century....
Didn’t Zaldane just copy defiant fishing for his swim bait? The irony in this video when every single googan product is just a ripoff lol.
Pretty terrible take
@@LunkersTV I don’t expect you to agree with my comment. The ego is too big lmao.
@@LunkersTVWell talk about the lawsuit from Strike King and how you guys ripped off their rage tail design
Yea talk about it
@@LunkersTV He could never admit to anything negative he has too big of ego and is going to wreck this company. heck CZcamsrs are leaving Googan behind in mass and Googan cannot even get youtube press without attacking a really good fisherman who actually fishes in his video. Nothing Googan does is original and they are just copy cat, second rate products. Go for Strike king over googan any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
“I don’t care what so-and-so said about me 3 years ago.”
*Makes video all about what so-and-so said 3 years ago.*
These are my favorite kind of people.
Even cooler is the person who talk crap about other brands and their products then release a broken swimbait and will COMPLETELY ignore the failure after the first week as long as he got his money.
@@JanoyCresva Or if you fish the bait properly it works just like it is suppose to work.
@@JanoyCresvaMr. Cresva how are you? Big fan.
Exactly
You mean to tell me that in a competitive industry, one manufacturer points to another and says “they copied OUR design!!” When in fact, the original design was made by YET ANOTHER company YEARS/DECADES AGO????
Shock and Horror!! Well, okay… not that much shock….. or horror.
This guy has become cringe, he's a user.
@@Dawgrum I think Jon is a good angler, but most of them don't even fish anymore. Plus he was jealous of the ones that did and cut them. Idk how a bunch of guys who don't fish, and one that plays around his house all day drive a fishing brand. I think they got fat and lazy
I agree.
LFG is the only one worth watching.
@morganlife7787 jon b. still puts on one heck of a production style show but lunkers calling a bass master elite "irrelevant", peric who's just living life isn't bad, flair is rinse and repeat, lfg is still entertaining.
He was cringe from the very beginning
Everyone saying his new swimbait is trash when he literally made a long video explaining how to use it and get the action out of it. And the funny thing about it is he will use this "junk" swimbait and kick ass on the elites while ole Zaldangerous is lucky to break the top 30 the whole season with or without his version of the swimbait
Word
Plus, Zaldwhateverthefuck is sponsored by that Trump-loving racist coffee company.
This is giving real teenage girl drama vibes.
None of those baits compare to a Mepps 3. Those things catch every fresh water fish known to man.
Preach. I could stock a tackle box with nothing but Mepps spinners and probably never need anything else. Buuuuut what's the fun in that 😅
Yep.....Mepps and the ole' Daredevle spoon, I'm good to go.
@@SuburbanAdventures yes sir
@@SuburbanAdventures Probably caught more fish on the old red and white daredevle spoon that any other I have ever used. Could not agree with both of you more.
Create conflict, create a competition and baits fly off the shelves. Robs pretty fvcking smart. He could care less about the old video he just showed us marketing 101
No his marketing people gave him this info he is just the platform. Come on man
All day he is the entrepreneur master
@patrickhagan8244 He was doing this long before he had marketing guys, cmon boy
Go watch Rob on Zaledangerous' podcast, and he talks about how he started Googan Baits....then come back here and tell me he's not the brains behind the marketing. I'll wait.@@patrickhagan8244
czcams.com/video/vD1F8b5ExAU/video.html
Great video but couldn't help but notice in lab gear he looks like jessie from breaking bad 😂
The haircut did it
First thing that I thought
Googan sales must be pretty low for this video to come out 🤣🤣 try to jumpstart some interest
Yea took 4 years for him to put that video out. Huumm lol
I mean it's not even the end of January and there sitting at 10 million in sales they seem to be doing just fine
My local academy just put 90% of all the Grogan baits on half off sale and reduced the Grogan section by 80% and filled it with 6th sense stuff 😂
This makes me not want to buy Chris’ new swimbait.
I wouldn’t
@@kerrycooperfishing2732 I like Chris… this video just seemed like a slam to plug his bait.
@@kylebrandstattfishing7270agreed. The loaded swim bait sales must be not doing so well AND got released very shortly after the hang over.
@@kylebrandstattfishing7270how do you like Zaldian? Like serious question what is there to like about the guy?
@@biggiesmalljaws I guess I just don’t hate him… I wouldn’t be disappointed if he won a blue trophy. And I like Trait.
It’s funny how he is knocking the hang over when he isn’t using it right he even used a clip from the video of Milleken telling people how to use the bait and not knocking the dangerous swim bait but it likes to swim up and it don’t swim straight also funny how it took 3 years to respond
Over/under on Blauket making a video about this?
dont give a shit what that commie says, but he no doubt will
No comments about FFS, so unlikely
It’ll be about a co-angler casting 3 inches over an invisible line.
Anyone else love when 2 shitty companies fight😭🤣
Having a product being sold in Walmart is not the mark of a shitty company otherwise we would all have something in wal mart
Shitty people or product? I don't know much about the people at either company so can't speak on that but both companies have some excellent baits. 6th sense crankbaits are legit. Googan soft plastics are legit albeit not very durable.
Googan soft plastics are the best on the market. Not very durable but they catch fish.
@@deltadiggers6923bruh, you need to explore more brands if you think Googan plastics are the best on the market. LMFAO
@@deltadiggers6923damn sure not the best on the market but also not terrible and either is sixth sense.
Ain’t got shit in the Banjo Minnow 😂😂😂😂
Caught my biggest bass on a banjo minnow
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Facts 😂😂😂😂I remember that sound they was using when the bass ate it
I'd fish a banjo minnow over both shitty companies this video is about
Fun fact the banjo minnow infomercial ended with "you will catch more fish than ever before guaranteed"
Rob, since I see you’re ready to air some things out. Can you air out what’s going on with a lot of Googan influencers and pros leaving the brand? Thank you
“Influencers” are quickly becoming whiny babies and the Fishing CZcamsr trend is on a downwards slope. The reason they have reduced the pro staff is they really aren’t worth the cost. Exceptions being Chris Zaldain. He has a huge social presence and he knows swimbaits backwards and forwards.
Watch his podcast episode with Zaldain he explains why the stopped sponsering pros
@@TheIltzschcouldn’t you just say it
Is a long pod vas and he went with a lot information about and why! Is a good pod cast👌🏽
@@AW-yv9sqno because you need the context to full understand what he is saying. Go watch it.
Zaldain, correct me if I am wrong, but didn’t Defiant already do a single hook, line through swimbait? Not only was it a single hook, BUT, you had the option to add a single hook stinger to it.
🤔
When all is said and done, people just need to realize that all these baits are simply tools we have to fall back on. Being brand loyal to one specific company will only hurt yourself if you are a tournament angler. Ask any pro. Sure they are sponsored and those are the baits they talk about but its the baits they buy and have found, Custom baits especially, that they will not talk about. It is no different than someone using a lowes or walmart home brand too vs say a Dewalt or Milwaukee. Its all in when and where you use the tool. Most baits cant be patented so even if they do copy each other, thats sadly the industry we are in. No body said it was right but it is the truth. I wish we could put more towards growing the sport in a positive way rather than dividing it even further
I’m still surprised most people don’t realize how many thing we use in life are all made in the same factory overseas. Same thing just different packaging….lol
Why they are made in Texas buddy. Do research googan is 100 percent overseas while 6th Sense makes over 75 percent of their products in Texas
Your videos have done so bad that you decided to make this one to bash someone else’s take that you claim isn’t important enough?
wow, watching new videos from lunkers and uncut angling on the same day, what year is this? keep it up!
This year is just like the love of hip hop lol
You bring the one guy out whose swimbait is a mirror image of the megabass mag draft… what a joke
That’s the point is the industry knocks off everything also zaldain helped Make the magdraft left megabass for googan and helped design theirs
The loaded bait is nothing like the megabass the only thing it is the same is it is a soft plastic swim bait
What is the knockoff called?
@@tobywonkinoby8916 bass mafia
I guess you missed the entire concept of that video????? You do need to listen to comprehend
The loaded swimbait just took defiants 247 and 210 rigging with a single hook and put it on the loaded bait and called it new
90% of ALL baits look similar because they’re all made in China. The hangover does have shitty action. I mean it has to be reeled at a very specific speed therefore its shit because i get half my bites in the pause or burn on a retrieve.
Hey I just wanted to let you know you did a great job putting a hole through the magdraft, do you think you can the googan baits more durable now?
This dude tried to go pro, failed miserably, makes horrible baits and has to trash the guy living out his dreams of making it to the top level to feel better about himself. It’s pretty comedic.
And I used to like this joker...success has ruined him. One of the only people I had subscribed to and then unsubscibed to after seeing how he declined as a human being as his success grew.
Fucking over fellow war vets he served with in Iraq and Afghanistan on business ventures was the cherry on top....
Damn…I started out fishing using googan baits. Have since moved on. This video reflects why….poor quality.
Say what ya want bout dude, but ya gotta admit he speaking Facts.
I don’t like the guy, but he didn’t try to go pro, he made it and it on the Elite Series right now
This video is like saying a comeback 10 minutes after the original indecent, took em 4 years to come up with this one, all love tho really excited to try both the hangover and the daingerous and compare them to the Magdraft and other swims
Not even addressing any of the debunking... But, can we all just take a minute to appreciate Lunker's Dexter's Laboratory outfit here! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah this felt weird
Felt like a kid at school goin “ unt ugh! I had it first! “ 😂.
If I was Flair. I'd be really wishing he had not decided to wear my merch for this!
Facts flair is so out the way he does his own thing
I just buy cheap swimbaits/lures from over seas 😂
I just re sub 😂😂😂 keep these coming
Bringing zaldain in for this is comical, he is out following around Josh jones all over Texas, JJ is a 6th sense guy, Rob tried to make a go of it couldn’t. Now has to go back to the drawing board for failing to cut it trying to qualify, maybe Ben’s Career goes nowhere but it’s gotten farther than Robs already, I have some hogan stuff I have some 6th sense stuff, one brand is better no doubt
My success fishing tournaments has little to no impact on m career as a whole. Tournament fishing doesn't move the needle like everyone thinks. It makes up 5% of the total sales in this industry. Now go back to the drawing boars with that figure in mind.
It has everything to do with pride tho and achieving what you were trying to do, now you have nothing left to do but focus on the 95% of what you think is important, you should stop making clickbaits btw they are complete trash
What’s funny is JJ caught numerous big fish that day and Chris got skunked per his own video lol
He had to bring zaldain in bc he’s not relevant enough in a video alone. Same reason for making this video now they’re just piggy backing bens success
Robs right… tournament fishing doesn’t move the needle as much as we all think, shitty YT videos with a bunch grown men with children running around acting like children made to target young kids who don’t know much along with flashy packaging also marketed towards kids does better. Guess we’ll go back to the drawing boards rob…
I'll be sticking with Strike King. No junior high drama there.
the only people who use googan squad are 12 year olds pond fishing.
This is a common misconception. The average age of our consumer is in their mid 20s
Mid 20's but they act like 12 yr olds....got it 😂
Do more of these, this your niche perfectly captured
Who designed the meggabass magdraft you said in your podcast you all know who did ? Thanks 👍
Get your popcorn ready. I’m here for it.
In other words what's really going on is chris's copied new swimbait isn't selling. (Meanwhile the hangover sold out in several different sizes and colors) and Lunkers TV had to do this video to help out. It's why at the end he said "we good?"
Chris Swimbait has sold out just about everywhere once already and is back ordered 3 months. The swimbait you think is crushing has already been stop shipped due to returns. Give it a few months and it’ll disappear
@@LunkersTV I don't think it's crushing. The 3 places I looked has Chris's and doesn't have Ben's. Not to mention 3xs or more colors are offered all sold out. So I don't think it's crushing the numbers do.
love the outfit! Cracks me up. nice work!
Basically like when you get in a fender bender with someone and 3 years later they come back saying their neck hurts.
“Everybody knocks everybody off” yeap pretty much…👀👀
SO you've waited for him to be relevant to respond, this internet shit is crazy.
Well it wouldn't make sense to put someone on the map right? Need to earn that
@LunkersTV instead of 6th sense, they should be called non sense 🤣
How many times did this dude say he would link baits at the top of the description? This is awful quality control for such a significant company. Maybe I’m just dumb and missed it in the description
Why is there a 90-second ad on your video?
Hey here we go. This is exactly what everyone needed. Drama between companies and now we have drama between two pros! Great!
Go buy a lure
1 pro and it’s not lunkers
Only one pro ROB is NO pro
@@Drezzy2 i think hes talking about millekin and Zaldain?
Chris shouldn't have got involved. That was a mistake.
No kidding lmao, dude straight ripped the magdraft
@@YurtYeet You realize he partnered with megabass to make that VERSION of the magdraft right.....he worked WITH megabass. is that really that hard to understand?
I agree lol
@@YurtYeet No he even said that it was his design. He never made it look identical to the Magdraft on purpose.
That was the point of the video, to show knock offs. Clearly the dangerous swimbait is a knock off of the Mag draft.
Touch! Bet that hurt! Love you guys, keep up the good work.
That fact im not subbed means you needed these clix
I'm a fan of the both of you. Good to know that the both of you were using the same factory. In regards to the hangover bait, it needs to be reeled at a specific speed for it to swing right - as with many baits. Simply moving it back in forth in a bathtub will not show how it swims when reeled properly.
It's a copout excuse for a bait not performing right, the real reason is the bait needs belly weighting to counteract the weight of the treble hook up top. It's the top heaviness caused by the treble that makes it what to roll, it's not a unique flaw of this bait.
@@FishingWithBraddersyou can’t rip a line through swimbait get off CZcams and get out on the water
@@Drezzy2 what? Where have I said you can rip a line through? 😅
@@FishingWithBradders he’s saying the speed at witch the bait is reeled is the action it’s gonna give off same with the hook placement you have to swim it just right for it to work
@@Drezzy2 yes, I have watched it and it's still just an excuse for poor lure design. Had it had the correct belly weight to counteract the top heavy nature of putting a treble hook on top, that wouldn't happen and you wouldn't need to retrieve at a specific speed.
I know this from experience, not just believing what someone who has something to gain from selling you the lures says.
Just look at all the top hook swimbaits out there that don't need a specific retrieve speed, that's because they're correctly weighted.
Stick a sufficient treble on the underside where it has an attachment to do so and I can almost guarantee that need for a specific retrieve disappears.
Why responed to a video that is over 4 years old at this point? I would get this video if it came out 4 years ago but doing it now seems pretty desperate
Great Video!!! Loving the satire 💯👌🏼 😂
Love them loaded swim baits Chris designed. Good job! BTW speaking of pros did I see Dustin Connell sporting a different brand other than Googan? Did he leave Googan?
Yep and YakPak just made a video announcing his departure yesterday too!
When was the last time the googan squad has made a good video, beside the Flair episodes in Nebraska.
Wish you would make a bigger dangerous swim bait for throwing off piers for tarpon
7 inch coming soon, then 5 inch, then even bigger ? 👀
So just curious how big???? 7" baits aren't big enough??? Tarpon don't eat Mullet mainly??
@lunkersTV I need a crankbait or something for that sale post lmao 😂
A white lab coat trumps a dry erase board any day 😂
Few years from now nobody will even remember Googan Squad. Only one left true to him self is Jon B
joke squad
Sad truth
Even lfg sounds like a cabelas floor seminar sales guru
Kind of weird to reply to a video that is years old. 😂 I'm not loyal to any brand. I buy what works for me.
Let the truth be told and the respect be given 🫡🎣
Todd castledine actually has a video where he's talking about the creation and design of this bait with strike pro and how it transferred over to strike King so this isn't front page news
Todd castledine was working on the swank before he went to Strike king
Yep, that's his bait
It was a strike pro bait that strike king bought the rights to.
Speak the truth ❤
hey rob hope you cammie an the baby are doing well happy an healthy
I wanna know why you and demo Matt don’t do any videos videos anymore?
Robs petty is a refined, gentlemanly petty and that's why i love it. Still rocking my Gold AR hoodie.
That's an excellent description 👍
rob is a fuckin goon
Just wondering how Googan and Zaldain is gonna act or explain this after Millikan wipes the floor with GooNs sponsored guys and Zaldain in his first season in the Elites with his baits… 🤷♂️🤷♂️
😂🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥
Already happened first tourney at Toledo, nothing against Zaldain though, I got love for him, but can’t avoid googan baits enough.
Hell yeah Rob Great video!
What’s the difference between that new swim bait and a spool tek
Lures are meant to catch the fisherman not the fish.
way to knock off mega bass body and then call the kettle black. let the market sort it out and get back to production
Dude watched the pod cast where you said you was gonna go after the throats of some of these companies can’t wait to see what Googan does next
That fist part looked like Walter white ready to cook
6th Sense and Googan are both poop. But I’m so glad you made this. People needed to be called out on their BS.
If you don’t know anything about either brands, you shouldn’t be saying that one is calling the other ones “BS”.
@BadersBassin no they both pretty much both suck. Japanese baits are the best. Never needed to try googan because I catch with other baits.
Idk the bandito bug is probably the best soft plastic bait I've ever used, haven't tried their hard baits though
When I first got into bass fishing, I thought Googan and 6th were awesome. 6th had the upper hand to me based on how they looked and Googan looked like preschooler toys as I got more familiar with baits. JDM is the absolute best by far! It’s not even close and both 6th and Googan are garbo
@@Victor797264the googan Dart soft jerkbait was my go to last year..flat out catches them
Carrots
He helped design the mag draft bud 😂
@@TylerNashan carrots
Great Video! Always appreciate your content!
With the weird bill on those couple of crankbaits, did the "original" come out with that weird juked bill, or did Rapala come out with that first? Honestly don't know.
Just take me back to the MTB house and all the good content. All this is for the birds. Great marketing and you all being likeable people with a lot of fans for years, including me, is what sold baits. I personally am not a fan of the baits. But the marketing was/is genius. Can’t deny that. Good luck Rob.
Feel the same.
HS kid drama no need for the negativity. Believe his ego isn't getting enough attention.
No
Yes@@treehunter1
I would like to Googan’s next step be bringing the manufacturing to the USA.
Better be ready to pony up more money to support them
I woudnt have their shit if it was free. @@KidKrappie
That would mean being original. And that will never happen.
@55Dag Has nothing to do with originality, has everything to do with money. They're production costs would triple if they moved to the US. Why do you think almost every major company in the US outsources their production?
Plot twist, theyre all super good friends and playing off a fake drama like Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds 😂
Video killed it! Rob speaks the truth about fishing industry.
Still havent let this go, 4 years later here is my response.
Great video. Took what I already knew and made me even more aware.
I plan to tune in for the fun.
Why are the daingerous sold unrigged?
All of them are designed almost the same. It either works or doesn't. The only real difference is usually where the weight in the bait is whether it's got ball bearings in it or not and the size of the ball bearings along with the material it was made out of so if it floats or not and how far it sinks. Outside that the only other difference is the paint job
Is anybody going to say anything about the super bad ass 3-16 swim bait. It sets the bar pretty high.
I feel like you've said these things a million times. I've enjoyed watching the Googan brand grow and all the success you guys have enjoyed. Keep doing what you do.
I don't buy over priced lures. From any company.
Good for you man! Whatever catches fish for you stick with it. Best part of America is the FREEDOM to do what we please. And that includes buying what you're calling "overpriced" lures. Tight lines.
Just saying 6th sense is overpriced but u buy in bulk during a holiday you'll be set for a few years run ya a bit of money but as long as your smart you basically get a ton of free lures
I’m still rocking grandads lazy Ike’s and crap… still work!
I thought spending 30$ for a big old musky bait was crazy. I still rock a giant 12” sucker minnow on a hook with good results.
That’s why you don’t catch any fish
@@judahwilliams27people catch bass with Lego characters. Fish don't care about what brand you are using.
I have a handful of micro bangers that earned a spot in the rebel box, work pretty well, good baits.
Fully agree on the swim baits that line through with a single hook is the way to go
This is pretty damn childish.
glock should sue sig because they both use triggers and magazines
Thanks for showing my clip in your video bro we appreciate the plug @Basslivesmatter LLC
This is why we are extra picky with what bait companies we work with
Dude. love your CZcams channel. wanted to say: Z-Man Mullet already has the " line thru hook" in their product. its the same swimsuit but with a mushroom style tail.
