River Savage
Приєднався 26 сер 2010
When I just want to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors, I oftentimes target a variety of species by kayaking, wading, belly boating, and just walking down the bank. My primary addiction is river fishing for smallies and I love using big baits or whatever else I make in the bait lab.
I'm PUMPED to try these JAPANESE BAITS - GEECRACK BELLOWS GILL
So, I'm getting sucked into the realm of Japanese fishing baits and decided to buy multiple sizes of the Geecrack Bellows Gill. In this episode, we go over multiple ways to rig these, discuss things I like/dislike about them and to top that off, we actually catch some nice bass.

I want those baits!!!!
Do you know if the DRT lips and tails work with these?
@realjeffgarrett not too sure about that. I just use the spares that come with each bait.
@@River_Savage How many different lips does it come with? The website says they come with eyes and tails but nothing about lips
@realjeffgarrett i believe they come with 2
@realjeffgarrett one lip, 3 diff tails, and 1 set of eyes.
@@River_Savage Appreciate the info 🙏🏼
Dam ! you putting in work with lure! I only caught one league in the CA delta. And you just chuckin and winding.👍🏾
@bittabrutha31 it was definetly fun putting this bait through the gambit. Just chuck and wind and throw in some subtle twitches here and there. Glad ya liked the vid!
do you ever fish this weightless?
@clancymcintyre3241 i personally haven't but it seems like it would swim fine without a weight. I typically use these along the bottom so adding weight is a must for me. If using them for largemouth, it seems like they wouldn't need a weighted hook when fishing shallow cover. Hope that helps.
I've never fished lures but Im going with a guide on the New with my dad who has also never bass fished, should be awesome
@calebsmith5898 fishing with lures is so much fun. I hope you both get some big fish. I'm heading down there in a couple of weeks my self.
what happen to the dog?
buying this just bc he lives in ohio
If you put a dab of superglue on the shank of your jig head your baits will stay on a little better and longer. Just a tip. 😉
@davidtennant505 that's def a good tip. I just always forget to bring it lol.
put red hooks on them, especially the belly hook -- you will be amazed. I have painted a couple dozen of that size.
@@bobtomlinson8247 I may just try that. I do like red hooks for my spinner baits.
Dope man. Going there next week, what section of the lake were you on?
@joelchase988 man, its been so long I don't really remember off hand.
they do love them glide baits
@@AddictedAngler absolutely 💯
That was a nice fish.
@sjkeener thanks man. Still my biggest ohio smallie and it's gonna be hard to beat .
@River_Savage Heard that! I used to live in Miamisburg. Caught some nice fish by one of the dams right there. I'm new to 6th sense products. They won me with their customer service. I have 2 trace 6. I haven't gotten them in the water yet.
@sjkeener those things work so darn well in the current. The faster the better. Cool you're from ohio and fish the same river. Maybe I'll see ya on the water some day. If ya see me, feel free to chat me up.
@@River_Savage I appreciate the videos. I'm in Alabama now. I don't think I'll ever leave here. I think it's American's best kept secret. Lol
@sjkeener yall have alligators and snakes down there, but also giant bass. Is there any river smallies down your way too?
What stretch did you run...put in /take out?
@@RickMartin-rq6vg I really don't recall since I'm not from that area.
Yes sirr!! Gr8 video my dude !!
@shaungardner6787 thanks man. I wanted to get a few more good ones for the vid but they were being finicky hahaha. I did have a giant blow up when I was dragging the 5.8 over some lily pads but I forgot to stop and save the recording lol.
“I’m either gonna get a giant or a snag on this cast” I heard that😂😂😂 sometimes casting next to the cover isn’t good enough😂
@CarolinaReaperr man I was so pumped when I called that one. Every once in a while I can call my shots hahah
hey really enjoyed the video what Rod reel setup are you using? greets from germany
Glad ya liked it. I think I used 3 diffrent combos. For the 5.8 I used a dobyns fury 795sb with a shimano curado k 200. For the 3.8, the rod is from a local company called little miami river outfitters. It's the neorus model. For the 2.8, I used the phenix m1 7'8 with a shimano vandford reel. All super sick combos I have a ton of faith in.
Ohio fisherman love brother!!!!!
@@endxbiggs right back at ya bud!
I’ve fished above the dam and below the dam on the Roanoke River. there’s really good smallmouth fishing there I love the section just above the dam. Wading in and fly fishing is my favorite but sometimes the smallies are much deeper in the hot summer months and it’s best to spin fish for them. Were you above the dam or below it?
@user-wn4if2ys4o we were below the dam but fished our way up to it. My buddy had a big 5 pound largemouth take a swipe at magdraft right at the rocks on his first cast. Hooked into somthing big the eventually broke him off too. Are there strioers in there too?
@@River_Savage The strippers do migrate up starting in Sept or Oct when weather cools. I caught a 15 lb stripper up there, but it wasn’t far up the Roanoke from SML. Maybe 300 yards or so.
@@WaltLeytham appreciate the info. Would be sick to get a striper there.
WTF is a crawl ? One too many at the pub ? 😂
@@mikem2590 crawdad. What do you call them?
I would definitely buy some????
Shoot me a message on Facebook. My name is Matt Good.
How do you use google earth to find places I fish new river would appreciate the advice
You can just download Google earth pro, find a river near you, and zoom in looking for structure like bridges. Then, look for roads that lead to access that's close to the spots you found. Hope that helps!
Brilliant!! And cheap! Love this and making one for the boat 🤯
Glad ya like the vid.
@@River_Savage already finished it. Made a few additional mods
@@getbittv what mods did you end up doing?
@@River_Savage well my pvc did not thread into the painters pole. Drove a bolt through and added a nylon lock nut. Also got a longer screw (1/4-20). Also put a nylon lock nut on top and the the GoPro tripod mount. Fits fits great and this will prevent the screw from falling through. Probably easier to send pics
Found you on ig sent pics there
Awesome video!!! I just found your channel. Like seeing locals fishing the same rivers. Been thinking about drop shotting. Any suggestions on baits and hook sizes?
Glad ya like the vid and channel. All the baits I got were for a saint clair trip I had booked but the weather messed up my plans, so I figured I'd throw them in our rivers lol. I basically looked for bassmaster tournement results on lake saint clair and bought a crap load of stuff so I really don't know which hooks I used. I know I like having 3/8 oz drop shot weights because you can use pliers and just cut them down to diffrent sizes vs buying dirrent sizes.
It's been far too long since I've dropped by the channel. I like the new channel name. You and your buddy were on 'em. Some BIG smallies and the patterns on them were sick. ...but not as sick as the floating head. 😂 I can't believe you've just discovered the power of the dropshot. Get ready for a fish thumb like you've never seen before.
I'm not really a big finesse fisherman but I bought a crapload of finesse stuff for a saint clair trip that got canceled twice now lol. That weather yall have up there is not wanting to cooperate with my vacation schedulel haha. So now I have an infinite amount of tubes, flatworms, and other dropshotable softplatsics I need to learn to use so I have a better idea when I can make it up to your neck of the woods.
Great video man! That was an awesome day!
Absolutely 💯. Next up, giant night time smallies.
@@River_Savage 100% love that night float bite.
Why do you prefer the irod over the dobyns?? Looking to buy the same rod as yours. Thanks
The dobyns feels a bit spongey, the grips aren't as comfortable, and it's also stiffer then the irod. I fish a lot for river smallies and I don't really get much of a fight on the dobyns. It's good though. Probably better for fishing for largemouth because they get bigger. The irod just feels great to me.
Awesome you’re using that Little Miami rod - maybe you’ll go over the specs a little during the chatter-build video?
That rod is pretty sweet for 150$. It's 6'9 medium fast action. Basically, a sick junk rod you can use for tons of stuff from what I was told. What other specs do ya wanna know more about bud?
@@River_Savage thanks! I guess that’s it, lol. Thought it maybe was a specific chatter rod, but it’s good to see it didn’t need to be.
@@zdeeze dope. Def doesn't flex like a glass rod, but she rips through grass good enough for me.
Nice catches bro!!!
Thanks bud. Def had some fun yanking these footballs in.
Great video! Really started to sell me on a jerkbait/top water rod. Basic M/F rods just don’t seem as crisp, and I love jerks and walking the dog.
Glad I could help buddy. I used a crank rod for years and it made me hate throwing jerks. Now it's actually fun and not exhausting at all. Can't wait to throw some spooks here real soon.
Send me some bladed jigs 🤞🏾
Are you wanting to buy some from me?
@@River_Savage yeah do you got a website?
Savage mode!!!
You know it!
Why does this kind of sound like Tom Brady?
It def does hahah
It is
Dobyns 735c? Or a dedicated swimbait rod
Pretty sure I was using the irod genesis jr swimbait rod on these.
Temu
Love your vids Bro, and I just ordered me a couple of the Tiny Klash from Sugartit, so when they come in, I plan on having a buddy of mine paint them up for me, I cant wait to see if they perform like they did for you !!!
Glad ya dig the vids bud. Painting lures and getting big fish on them is so sick. Hope ya catch a giant on those sugartit blanks.
Very nice!
I want those baits lol
A little late for the giveaway :)
Just found your channel & its killer! Ever try the D walker paddle tail swimbaits by river 2 sea? they crush river small mouth all year long!! Also that story about cutting the deer's throat sounds like the boys was feeling good & bad decisions were made lmfao
Thanks so much. That really means a lot to me :). Never seen those r2s swimbaits but wow, those look incredible. Yea, that was def a bad choice. It felt like the knife wasn't getting through all that fur until it did, then it cut me and the deer like butter hahah.
Thanks so much for the review on it! Great to know, if I ever decide to pull the trigger on it. Keep up the good work buddy! Hope you have a great weekend coming up!
I used to think any crank rod could be used for jerks, I was def wrong and glad I got a good jerk rod.
What rod are you throwing that on? Is it an IRod
I belive it was either an irod Bama special or the irod jr swim.
Great spot for skipjack.caught a few nice smallies there also.white rooster tail and white curly tail are fire!
Exactly 💯. Those fish fight so hard on lighter gear. Thanks for watching!
Definitely throwing my freestyles for smallies now that I’ve seen them CRUSH it AWESOME VID MAN 🤙🏽🎣
Such a fun "thump" when they eat it. Glad ya dig the vid.
Love it!
She's pretty 😍
it's crazy the stor arishi is 45 bucks, bass dash is like 25, and these are 25-30 for 5 and you can get the 4.5 in this
exactly 💯 the bigger 7 inch glides have a pretty sick glide to them too.
@G2GFishing I'm debating starting a company just because that. I'm associated with rapala. 45% off them and their affiliate companies so I got the arishi for the same cost as a bass dash. there are very few original baits. it comes down to marketing and component quality. my hope is to price gouge the name brands while offering a better quality product for the consumer than the Chinese knock off. if I could profit 10k a year from it and pay entry fees off that I'd be happy
@@NRP.fishing sounds like a good deal to me.
The irod rods are damn good for the money .. I still prefer the fury rods for the light stuff. For BIG swimbaits ill stick with the okuma shadow stalker or guide select swimbait rods..
Yessir! The fury worked great on my recent trip down to the new river. I got a few nice ones on the magdraft and getting them in the raft was easy. I almost got a guide select but ended up getting a couple ghost codes as they had an insane deal on black friday. I think it was buy one get one at 75% off. Crazy deal haha
What make these Big Joshy swimbaits special? Cause they can catch fn fish that's why!
Absolutely 💯
Great paint but those TK ko’s could be so much better than they are.
I just picked one up and painted one, i'm curious what your thoughts are? You don't like them, or? I'm sure they're not as good as the real thing. But I paid like $11 for it and $7 for shipping verse $99 for legit DRT. It's hard to beat. Anything specific you're not happy with?
Great trip! This 100% looks like a trip I’d like to do, same guide and all! Looks fun.
Yessir! Both stretchs looked so darn good. I might go back in the Fall or even this summer.
Good luck going down there now, theres a group of guys that fish it in shifts and u cant ever get the wall spot. They keep everything they catch, and if their cooler gets full, theyll take it to their car and grab another cooler. All day, everyday. And if u somehow get the wall spot, they will keep crossing ur line and aggravate u until u just give up and leave. Theyre always there, and theyre destroying the river.
Have you tried letting the game warden know? We went on a week day and got there around 430am to get that spot.
Loved it man! Some great action and some very nice catches. Thanks for sharing and for taking us along! Looking forward to more great content. Appreciate you!
Stoked you enjoyed the vid, bud.
