Hey everyone, I’m trying to get this channel to hit 1000+ subs by the end of 2021. If you enjoyed this video, make sure to hit the subscribe button and like this video and we will grow this thing! 🔥
If you tip it with shrimps , you are defeating the purpose of the challenge IMO
Good point🤔
The Fish Bites or FishGum makes the Smell of the Bait Better.. They last Longer and have cloth mesh inside.. Trust Me.. The stuff works Right by itself Without "tipping it" with Real Bait ..
I agree completely
Accurate video. Why? Every fisherman has said "I'm going to try (or compare) ______ today". Yeah man, when stuff isn't biting, those challenges, etc go straight out the window. So which is better Fishbites or Fishgum? Answer: yes
True lol I plan on redoing this eventually but rode with the punches
I like gum better than bites because the gum disperses faster. fishbites last forever that I usually have to cut them off. Gum usually catches more than the bites as well.
Crazy weather and nice whiting
Thanks Pablo!
Nice video brother surf fishing is fun but we don't really have much surf here. Always boat traffic and jet skis.
Thanks! I think If I go further down that island it might be less traffic because I was right on the corner of the pass.
I havent used either, but i definitely will now! Thanks for sharing
I like both. I did just order more fish gum though just in case after seeing a dude win a pompano tournament using that and sand fleas haha
Nice comparison and a great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! 🤙
Ive only been surf fishing once your really making me want to do it myself thanks for the video man👌
I’m a newbie to surf fishing as well haha it’s fun running to your poles bouncing.
@@RustyReels it looks like it dude
I'm a big fan of 4500-5000 class, spinning reel, 8-10 ft. rod. I'm going to give fish gum a try.
Thanks for watching!
Nice vid man! I was curious about that gum. I know a lot of people use it up here in the panhandle and do have a lot of luck with it. I was also wondering if that weather was gonna get too crazy to keep you from getting back lol
Yeah luckily it cleared up 😂
Great video, hope to see some more beach videos soon!
Thanks Peter!
Mannnnnn, that weather changed QUICK. Good video brother.
Thanks man, the video and sound quality bugged me but I figured I’d release it anyways
glad to see you with a quantum reel ... how do they hold up to saltwater fishing? i know this is almost a year ago.
It’s somehow still alive I think but I haven’t used it in a while, they make good salt reels too though like the Quantum Smoke
When you tip the bait with shrimp, aren't you just fishing with shrimp that also has fish bites or fish gum on the hook?
Yeah essentially but I feel the combo works better sometimes than shrimp alone, or at least old dead shrimp.
My man getting that beach cardio in! 👍🏽😎
Haha that’s the funnest cardio for sure 🤣
Another great video!! Just curious on what rod/reel setups you use. Is the blue one a Penn Wrath? Also, we’re you down by the point at Honeymoon Island? I’ve been there few times and caught a monster snook from the beach using Penn Pursuit 4K on an Ugly Stik Bigwater.
The blue one is penn pursuit 3 2500 on a sixgill akylos. Definitely not for the surf but I don’t have a lot of surf gear yet haha the other small red one of penn fierce 2500 on an ugly stick carbon. The biggest one is a Daiwa BG 6500 on an ugly stik big water heavy and the old quantum one is just a cheaper combo but it’s still alive and kicking haha
@@RustyReels the Bigwater is a great rod. I’m also looking to get a good surf setup.
Hey bro you'll get there....just keep doing what you're doing 👍🏾 I've never tried the fish gum but I'm seeing a lot of people going to it. I'm used to the fish bites, even though I haven't had much luck on it but on occasion I'll have something pick it up....usually a catfish or stingray. It works, but like you said, you never know what mood fish may be in when they eat so you just throw anything you have at them if you can(a kitchen sink too if you can help it lol!)
Haha thanks man! Yeah I’ve heard the clam fishbites have been good lately too but I haven’t tried that flavor yet
@@RustyReelsthe clam flavor is okay but personally I prefer the shrimp or the sand flea flavor...just seems to get a better response from those two. Pompano are kinda fickle fish to me....they want clam one day, then switch completely to sand fleas the next day! A pompano jig is good for a backup plan too in case they sometime just want to be buttheads lol!
Awesome video again keep the video’s coming: I always use fish bites .
Thanks Victor!
I LOVE FISH GUM AND THE CREATOR - OWNER IS A GREAT GUY
He seems like a good dude
Fishbites for some reason works better in Cali, haven't had any luck with the brittle fishgum
Awesome!
I think if you just wanted to take a big ole chew of it the Fishgum would be better. It’s softer and doesn’t have that fiberglass mesh backing material to get in your teeth.
This is a good point
If you catch a remora whatever big fish he was hanging on is around as well-shark or cobia or something.
I was kind of wondering about that lol
@@RustyReels yeah if you catch an 18” remora get out of the water! 😉
@@p.e.muehleck8370 😂😂😂 good to know!
Great fishing video
Thanks Eric!
Love the videos bro 💯💯💯
Thanks Vernon!
When they are tiped with shrimp, it doest matter what it hit.
Mixing both together what’s the point of that.
I have a feeling you want fish gum to win. Ya get rid of the bass tackle lol.
Everyone loves going after shark who don’t know how to fish. Where’s the shark rod ?
I don’t have a HUGE shark rod yet haha my biggest setup so far is a Daiwa BG 6500 on an ugly stik big water. For some reason both together was working that day lol
I pulled my headphone out at one point and stared at it like, what is going on here?? Then you mentioned mic issues :D
I know, I almost didn’t release this episode lol
tipping the hooks with shrimp ruins the test.
I agree, I gotta redo this haha
Where in Tampa is this ??
Clearwater
Nice video!!! From Brazil
Haha I know! 🤙
Fish gum is way better , sells out as soon as it comes back in stock! Fish bites are made by a bunch of rude alcoholics in my town of St augustine fl.
i hate every person that put real bait on this test. fake bait with shrimp, you are fishing with shrimp
I love fish gum
I just bought another one in pomp candy color and I’m starting to like it more and more!
Kinda of a flawed test....nonetheless enjoyed u catching fish...and the pomp that gotta away.
I agree, I think I might do another one of these sometime haha thanks for watching!
I saw on another CZcams channel that Remora taste like Cobia.
Dang I might have to try it haha
It actually does we kept a remora and told all my buddies it was cobia could belive how good it was
I don’t even see fish gum anywhere. all I see is fishbites. So fish gum not that good then.
It’s based out of the panhandle so you have to get it online. It’s not as big as a company as fish bites yet.
Are you using circle hooks?
Hey man! I’ve been wanting to try your rigs haha I’ll have to hit you up on Facebook. These were the tsunami cheap pompano rigs from Walmart with the #2/0 circle hooks they come with.
@@RustyReels I JUST BOUGHT THESE FOR THE SAME BAIT ALSO LOL
Nice 👌👌
Thanks!
Didn’t look like much fun. Think I would have gone back home. Didn’t enjoy watching it much
😂
your camera angles are bad in your chest dude. sorry for that
@@mechanic350 I agree lol I just bought a neck one that seems better. In some videos I wear a head one
