Caught my first few fish shaking a minnow this weekend. I’ve tried a few different baits with no luck until this weekend I tried the freeloader. That thing is the real deal. All I have is a 8” Helix on the bow with 2D and DI. It worked when following up on missed top water bites and blind casting in the areas I was fishing the top water. The rest of the day I was picking fish of with a drop shot I saw on DI
10:05 the “Super fish roller” 5”-6”.. were revamped to the previous smaller ones. They are built FOR the Owner Range Roller, they too have spots on TOP of the head to run the hook and spots on its back where it’ll come up. There’s three spots you can place the jig head to get more of a hover presentation or a fall head first presentation, but effortless to get that “rolling” action…. I’m catching fish blind casting open water with them(I know the depth and layout goodntbohave been doing quite well.
Dude you give the most detail on lures of anyone. Your a hard core fisherman too and that helps you to know what we need from the lure. You also are on top of what's new. What pound test line for each technique would be a great video too. Thanks man for the hard work.
thanks man, i try to keep it real and just tell what I see. I'm not always perfect about it but just trying to share my take. i run 10lbs flouro leader to 12lbs braid this time of year, in the cold months though i go down to 8lbs leader.
Man Mike I wished u still lived in Florida and fished the Harris Chain. I live in Daytona Bch and miss ur old videos down here. I remember the video where u and ur buddy caught like 48lbs five fish limit cranking deep plugs. I fished the chain a few times when I was a kid. I fished Apopka a lot from the shore back when it was still polluted. I actually always caught fish back then too. I fished Apopka's spring that was cool. I hope u come down and do some more videos like old times. Thanks for ur videos. U have some really technical videos u really explain things for people in very simple ways.
On the RAID Japan YT channel you can see the rigging specifics for each bait down to make and model on the hooks. Been getting the 4inch to roll more predictably by passing the hook through the first notch in top of the head to the honey combs
My guy I ordered them driftfry over two months ago and are on back order till September. Which was expected but am super excited to get them just in time for the water to start cooling down
You should check out the hook up tackle, they’re all about JDM baits and I believe they already have the drift fry. They usually get baits before Tacklewarehouse
I grew up on salmon and steelhead in rivers out west. Then fished all over the world for 15 years. Now in TN, Ive been gearing up and learning bass fishing over the last year or so. The Japanese stuff is SOOO much better . Moves better , hooks so sharp they hook the fish from a foot away. Jackall, Megabass, Geecrack Bellows swimmers plus Net Bait goop. And of course, the greatest topwater lure, the Uma Deathroll. Nothing better than walking to the bank after the suns way up, topwater is done, until that Deathroll gets dragged around. All the Skeeters are like " Gull durnit !! What in tarnation is that thingamajig ?? " " Japanes you say ?? What the hell would they know 'bout bucketmouths ?? " LOL, I tell ya. The real fun is when the Skeeters ask the inevitable question, " how much is something like that ? " I try to tell em they dont want to know. I really do. But the literal explosion when I tell em $89.99 is beyond hilarious. Sometimes being a fishing snob is really entertaining.
Put a little chartreuse on the tail of that Jackall and it's like the color jerkbait I was talking about Saturday Mike. Lol, once again. I love the honesty of you content
"I got like 10 packs on backorder because I'm a degenerate" LMAO My ol lady tells me I'd be better off with a drug addiction every time I get package in from a tackle shop... so I know how you feel. LOL Really cool baits I've had some on backorder myself for a little while now definitely ready to give them a try. Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!
Try fishing the 5 inch drift fry on a 1/4 oz head and keep your rod low to the water with tiny twitches. Most baits you keep ur rod up high. Saw Kyoya doing this. Thanks for all the great videos.
jackall driftfry is cheap here in Korea, about 7dollars a pack. I actually like the fishroller more than the driftfry, I do like the elastomer driftfry
Can you do a video on the ZooPop and ZooDog baits? With them having the soft body and the frog hooks I would think you could throw them into any type cover? I would love to see them in action on some lay downs and tops. I’m out with shoulder surgery so your videos is what I have now! Help me out bro!😂🎣
@@mikeybalzz one of my local store has a few. One is like a Tennessee shad gold/black back with white belly and another with chartreuse belly. If not mistaken the only zoodog was the white belly gold/ black back. If you would like I could pick you up one of each and send them to you?(once I’m able to drive) or you could check out “The Field Athletics” in Jackson Al. They could ship I assume?
@@kennylowe9404 ahahahah, it's all good i talked with the guys at GTO and I guess they're getting them so I'll slide thru and grab a couple. should be in perfect time for the late summer grass bite!
Finally got my j. Drift fry but 5in. version and not in color i want AND for 19 bux. Damn who woulda thot we pay this much for GOTT damb plastic baits.
no one can get it; really 🤣where do you shop? 🤣 Loop knot too; i thought you don't trust snaps yet you trust loop knot $16+ is nothing compares to your boat and FFS unit; not sure why you complaining, if you can afford a $30k+ boat and electronics; but you complain about $16 bait; you confuse me 🤣
Sometimes I think the only reason I have the fancy boat is just because I've been such a penny pincher in regards to everything else I've done in life.
The Duo BR fish and BR head has been another good one for me.
Awesome job Mikey, I need them in my fishing store in Corinth, those hard to find bats

Love this content. No click bait. Just honest stuff!
appreciate it brother!
Awesome video Mikey. I sometimes nerd out on the JDM sites for cool unique baits.
Mike, The Hook Up Tackle has the Fish Roller 3 and 4 inch in stock now. Pretty much all colors.

Looks like work good on. Core tackle hover rig hooks.
I love trying out new Japanese baits.

The 6th Sense Juggle minnow ain’t bad either. Great video Mr Ballz!
But the Dutch boiz at Spro are good too. The Sashimmy Swimmer in clear is my current go to.

Yeah we're pretty bad aren't we LOL but it's just so much fun buying new baits!

Going to try that out supposedly I got a couple packs of 5 inchers coming so I'm going to experiment with them a little bit
Deps Sakamata on the owner range roller. GTO had sakamatas online a few days ago.
What about hover rig style?
jackall driftfry is cheap here in Korea, about 7dollars a pack. I actually like the fishroller more than the driftfry, I do like the elastomer driftfry
Thanks for another great review!!
Hey Mikey, great vid. What loop knot are you tying?
I only had to be told one time where the hole was at.😂LMAO!I like the lil 3” drift fry
🤣
Hookup tackle for jdm stuff

Get better man! I'm actually trying to get my hands on some they're super hard to get right now

@@mikeybalzzcool! I’ll be looking for the video.
Range roller?
DOESN’t the spark shad have the rolling side to side in defined manner.
The hook up tackle… for those Jdm baits…. They have a lot
What would it do if you cut the bill off
Have you tried the Mach Baits Mach Skooler
No would you recommend it?
@@mikeybalzz those with the Owner Range Roller Jig head work really well for me
Owner Range Roller. Try it.
Got like 15 packs bro LOL I'm bad
@@mikeybalzz lol now I wouldn’t say that’s a bad thing necessarily. Gotta get em while they got em! Just like the haymakers lol!
I got a shit load of both , there awsome
Finally got my j. Drift fry but 5in. version and not in color i want AND for 19 bux. Damn who woulda thot we pay this much for GOTT damb plastic baits.
I tried on perchs but they were not interested at all
When The Hook Up Tackle has had the Drift Fry, they are 12.99
Yeah I think they are just showing up, no one has had them up until a few days ago
@mikeybalzz Great content Mikey !!
Melt the plastic with a lighter. Allows you to put it on screw lock or lock on any head.
Delete this vid! The roller is my juice 😢
no one can get it; really 🤣where do you shop? 🤣
Loop knot too; i thought you don't trust snaps yet you trust loop knot
$16+ is nothing compares to your boat and FFS unit; not sure why you complaining, if you can afford a $30k+ boat and electronics; but you complain about $16 bait; you confuse me 🤣
Sometimes I think the only reason I have the fancy boat is just because I've been such a penny pincher in regards to everything else I've done in life.
