    The Daredevil spoons were a staple in every tackle box through the 50's and 60's. They came in assorted sizes and while red and white was the most common color they were offered in other colors. They worked. In the 70's more tackle and more places selling it sort of overran the Daredevils but they are still productive. Thank you for sharing your outings.

      @@TranslucentJuice they are timeless. Once the trend became glamorize successful lures then make them in dozens of varieties the original Daredevils fell out of favor. I like to say many modern lures are designed to catch the angler, not the fish.

    I must say 618, you have inspired me to go back to live bait fishing. When I was a kid I'd take off walking to one of our pools with 4 or 5 poles, zebco 33s and cane poles with grasshoppers or liver and catch tons of catfish. Then when I was 12, my papaw taught me to bass fish with an ambassador 5000 and plastic worms. I'm 60 now and have been bass fishing all this time. Now I've got all my old poles out and cleaned up. Digging up some worms and being a kid again. Hehehe. Thanks dude.

    I've had success with bratwurst and catfish after watching you. One suggestion: I put a chunk of bratwurst in a lady's knee-high hose, pull it tight and knot it. Makes a nice ball of bait. Then cut off excess. Hook through the knot and it keeps the bait on the line. Can usually get several baits out of a single tube of hose.

    I'm surprised you don't use the Ambassador C3 or 5500 with a bait Clicker! For years I used c3's for catfishing in rivers and lakes it makes bottom fishing more efficient because they're just so useful and the tension that the fish feels is next to nothing and the bait Clicker is easy to hear quite a ways away

    If you ever go to Saskatchewan for pike and lake trout, be sure you have plenty of those big Dardevle spoons, red & white and the "five of diamonds", which is yellow with red diamonds, brass back. They'll hit it so hard they take the paint off it. I did a fly-in trip with 50-lbs of gear/clothes/stuff allowed, couldn't take much of anything. The outfitter told me all I need is a bunch of those spoons and titanium leaders. He was right. Well hang in there, spring isn't far away, better times to come. Good video as always.

    • @beemaster666
      @beemaster666 Před rokem +1

      I've caught them on artifical lures. It's more because you snag them bouncing off the bottom though. The meat make excellent bait and if they are around its usually the sign of a healthy river system

    Here in Indiana, the freshwater clam as you called it is known as a "mussel". I have caught many of them in the rivers & Creeks on a Nightcrawler just like you did. With the hook being embedded inside the shell. It's definitely odd and amazing when you catch one for sure. And believe it or not, they're good to eat.
