I been following DRT for a while no but they just aren't availible Mike you should start selling them on your site and keep us in touch when you get a shipment
You prolly dont give a damn but does someone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Alessandro Noel Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Very well said Mike. Gotta say...almost a year after posting this video...these words still hold very true. Clearly one of the most innovative baits around for big bass anglers. With the tiny clash and ghost sizes, DRT now provides a nice range of options. DRT is a forward thinking company....I’m not a fan boy or paid....only an avid user and see more design progress coming in the future from many similar forward thinking bait companies. It’s a bitchen time to be a Bass Angler. I’ve been fishing for Bass for more than 35 years and things are changing rapidly with new passionate anglers moving into the scene! With the USA now eating up JDM products it’s awesome to see! Your honesty and passion shows...u deserve to be paid...I never understood why people have an issue w that if the sponsor is worth the praise. Great video! BTW- I’m a sub. Pat
Most versatile bait on the market. One of the rare occurrences where downsizing it, they’ve been able to replicate the same bait in the Tiny Klash. Confidence bait for sure.
@@xMILKISx must not be tuned into the nuances of glidebaits. Swim and responsiveness couldnt b any more different lol. Tiny excels as a bottom crawler standard lip. 9 is meant to b fished frestyle, no lip. All other combos r after the fact gimmicks
Dr Bill funny, out of the 50+ fish I’ve caught on the Tiny in less than a year, none have been “bottom crawling” it. I wouldn’t of ever guessed I was fishing it wrong! Thanks for your insight. I guess that’s why you’re the doctor!
I had the opportunity to get ahold of one, earlier this year. Didn’t get the opportunity to fish it as I traded it off for a toxic whipper snapper and I’ve been kicking myself for it but hey there will always be the option to pick up another, my only issue was replacing the parts. It was always an issue for me finding lips and tails. Hopefully in the future DRT will be a bit more available for replacements. The versatility of the TiK and the k9 was the reason I was so intrigued by DRT in the first place. Definitely need to get another klash product
Saiko they should become more readily available soon. Tomoya had halted production to set up a new warehouse / factory. Once that’s done, production should ramp up to higher levels than ever.
This bait is the real deal! I have a tiny klash in a SmallJaw colorway and is my favorite to toss around my local ponds. Deadwalk is deadly af. Like you said - awesome bait and it catches fish. win.win in my book
Been saying this since they came out! The tiny and 9 are the best tool you can possibly have. Does everything you need with a little tweaking here and there. Or they run amazing straight out of the box.
Damn......glad I saw this, I'm sold. I feel that there is a general respect with your name and in my opinion, if Mike Gilbert backs it...I'm willing to try it out. 🤙
Mike, you mention that maybe in the future we will see interchangeable joints on the baits. Aren’t we already seeing that with the Klash Ghost? How you can change it from a multi jointed to a glide by locking one of the joints.
The clash ghost only has bumpers. I'm thinking more along the lines of locking mechanisms to prevent them from moving. Basically turning a multi joint bait into a glide bait and vice versa.
Mike very good information. I stayed on the fence about purchasing one for several years because I wanted to see if it was all hype. Last year I picked up the Klash 9 DRT/SU golden something or another. This bait is so versatile me being a power Fisher I like to move and yes I loved throwing cranks until I committed to just throwing swimbaits over 5 years ago. I have the low float. Here in Texas some of the water I fish has major pockets of hydrilla and grass. I pull the lip and use the v-tail up and either burn it or use a medium cadence with a few snaps with rod thrown in to trigger bites. Along the weed lines is where this thing is really special with the lip in!! I use the stop and go.....retrieve burn that sucker then stop burn stop. Then all of a sudden wack fish on. For you fishermen and women if you dont know what I'm talking about checkout DRT's UA-cam channel for the Stop and Go. I've even caught fish on the DRT Clone ( It's a sleeper that isn't being widely used) at least where I'm fishing great bait for fishing skinny water. Caught a nice 3-1/2 pounder out at Gary Yamamotos ranch. Sorry for the ramble but DRT makes quality fish catching swimbaits its proven in my book. 👍👊👊👊
I agree! Love the bait....but who has them in stock now? They not easy to find now. Would like to get another one. Been checking every site for months with no luck. Ain't payin Ebay prices either. Any suggestions or know of arrival dates to be in the lookout on drtusa?
I wish any of DRT stuff was available. I’d love to get a Varial handle. There’s a few on eBay going for around $600. Which is insane. Hopefully they release more soon
Scott Strong With The Swimbaits maybe you know something I don’t. I’ve been scouring the internet looking and can’t find them in any size anywhere. I appreciate the reply but it’s a pretty vague statement.
Working Class Zero I got word that they are no longer importing them to the USA. In japan you need to buy into a lottery system to even get a chance at buying one
Love the bait I've owned them before the only thing I don't like about it is that it is very fragile for bait that cost that much money on the SU black market and it might take a year or 2 tell they are at the original price again but hopefully there will be new baits like it in the near future.
They’re awesome baits but DRT really needs to step up production. The resale prices are insane right now. And if you’re lucky enough to get your hands on a bait getting new lips and tails can be a struggle as well, with many of the accessories being out of stock for months at a time. With that said, I would love to see you do a Klash breakdown video discussing the different “modes” and ways you like to fish them. Maybe some footage showing how certain lips/tails change the action. There isn’t a ton of info out there and I feel like that’s something you could present well, Mike 👍🏼
Andrew Moniz they should become more readily available soon. Tomoya had halted production to set up a new warehouse / factory. Once that’s done, production should ramp up to higher levels than ever.
I like the videos a lot and to be honest I wish they would stop making the KLASH and the JOKER for a year or two. Only because I'm in north cal and fish are starting to not react the same to the baits like when they first saw them. How important do you think it is to throw a bait thats rarely seen oppossed to just a "correctly" presented generic bait
The irony is painful. I was LITERALLY looking for a K9 just last night. How the hell does a bait that retails for under $100 end up being sold for $250 and up all over the internet? It's the Deps 250 syndrome all over again!
Considering you think $95 for a swimbait is cheap, I'm guessing you have $2k nailed to wall behind you... They may catch nice fish but Im not trying$100 to my line till I get sum scuba gear. I can't see my self leaving that in the event it gets hung up. The name of your channel is sumwhat misleading... No working class guy drops that amount of cash on 1 lure.
@@WorkingClassZeroFishing I fully comprehend the video, I get the message. I like that the bait is 3 different baits in 1 lure. Before I commit to throwing $95 into my Boulder bottom fishing hole, what lure retriever do you recommend?
I been following DRT for a while no but they just aren't availible Mike you should start selling them on your site and keep us in touch when you get a shipment
Drt is no longer sending them to the USA

I know right
Absolutely 2nd this....can't wait until it's available for a reasonable price..
@@shiftyeyes67k Has there been any update on when these baits will be available ? Really curious, would like to grab this bait.
It’s been a year and still not available lol
The action on this thing is fantastic. I grabbed one for targeting big pike in Scotland and it sure does the trick!
you couldn't have said it any better mike super versatile bait another sick video
Glad to see the videos back Mike! I really do enjoy them and learn alot from em! 👍
My first swimbait fish was on the tiny klash 6.6 bass pattern. The ghost has been a really fun bait to fish, too along with the klash 9 and joker.
Love to hear your opinions and insight! Thanks for the videos man!

@@mfmax3452 cant blame a guy for being friends with somebody that made a bad choice...happens everyday, only difference is this was in the public eye.

Man I'm pumped to try out the 9. What hooks do you put on those the 9 and the tk? Also do you use a snap or split?
Been trying to get one for a long time !!
Nice Video!
Are glide baits over yet?
Oh god...i could watch your videos all night..but if im gonna be on Jordan early tomorrow morning ive got to get some rest...east coast outta here...
So what’s the deal? It’s been 5 months. No baits. Where’s the baits DRT USA?
Can you explain what each lip does I’m looking to get the deepest diving lip
Love the klash 9 haven't tried the tiny klash or joker would love to get my hands on a ghost though.
Hey mate, any idea where I can get a replacement bib for this thing? Thanks heaps.

Jerry Cleary you can get them for retail or close to it. Just gotta make put some effort out and know where to look.
Scott Strong With The Swimbaits maybe you know something I don’t. I’ve been scouring the internet looking and can’t find them in any size anywhere. I appreciate the reply but it’s a pretty vague statement.
Jerry Cleary what size and color are you looking for? Message me
Scott Strong With The Swimbaits how can I message you on here. I’ll message you on IG
Scott Strong With The Swimbaits check your Instagram @jc3bassin
DRT looks to be no more. Link is under maintenance. Can’t be found on Tackle Warehouse.
Hey ,does water temp play a role in in how wide of a swim you want on a glide?
Plenty of hype....why not put more than a 5min inventory out in the US market?
Where can I get some nice swim baits?
Where can I get my TK re wrapped
i’d love to own/throw a klash. they’re just... unavailable. or if you DO find them, they’re double/triple or even more than the retail.
I’m not paying $200 on eBay for one. I’m tired of them being sold out on every site in the US that carries them. They need to up production
It’s not a production problem, they are no longer importing to the USA
2 years later still can’t get one.
Be nice if you could get them
Get that double digit in...
I just watched the video of the action on that thing, and hot damn!!
Always wanted to try them, but i always see people looking for lips and tails. But I know it's just a matter of time before I get one myself
Mike any idea when any of these DRT lures will be available at reasonable retail prices?
julyish
Working Class Zero I got word that they are no longer importing them to the USA. In japan you need to buy into a lottery system to even get a chance at buying one
Awhh man! Its already hard to get a hold of one. Unless you hurt your wallet on ebay. Lost two TKs this year already.
Your lookin like swimbait chronicles dude
I mean it be nice if the bait was available

Only if you could buy one.
What hooks do you use on the 6 and 9
matt ford the Tiny Klash takes st-35 sz 1 and the Klash9 comes with st-35 sz 1/0
Damn where do I find a klash for $90 lol they gonna be dropping more soon!?
Nope they are no longer importing to the USA
These are cool ..... be a lot cooler if we could buy them.
It’s “modular”
Anyone else just hear the second hand prices going up?

Maybe you can hook me up with one lol don’t wanna pay 250 any idea where they can be had at retail price
A breeze on the water but also a breeze to your 🏦
Such a cool idea for a bait. Only thing missing is skins lmfao
95 is robbing. Should be like 50 or 75 top
Stupid over priced. On eBay smh never available
Did you use the FaceApp for this? 😆 jk no shave July 🤘
Used that, 5 hours of Sleep every night App.
Drt is way overpriced, parts r unavailable, and its a mediocre bait not worth the tag. 20 bucks for a replacement tail!? Gtfoh
