I got skunked today bank fishing. So I decided to clean the trees from fishing ornaments. Got two frogs,a lipless crank bait,5 bobbers,idk how many weights and hooks,and 2 jigs. That’s a win day for me
Mike, looking forward to fishing this. Just a suggestion for your vidographer, when filming on the water footage on a bright day, have them apply a polarization filter on the lens. It will cut out a large portion of the glare and make your bait footage easier to see. I use them all of the time in my photography work. Thanks again for putting out great content
Ike, you have to address the gorilla in the room. The Grow Design Works Flag 170! So far, the Berkeley design team has acted like they developed the Nessie configuration organically. They're so identical, coincidence is an insult to experience.
Ask the last influencer what happen when he started cutting up baits and comparing. It was a backfire because every already knows theres only so many ways to reinvent the wheel.
@@jnorth5689 no, not true. The lipless crank is a basic geometric design without distinct features. And "the trap" if it was to be patented, would no longer be protected today because they run out after 25 years. LowBrow, seriously, wtf?
@@jnorth5689 ask the Influencers? Pfft! You clearly have no idea what you're talking about, LowBrow. Typical. You probably have no clue what the Flag 170 even looks like.
Is it because Berkeley knows they have all the money in the world to draw out and out spend any IP infringement lawsuits because everyone else in the industry is too small in comparison? That's my guess.
The problem is the japs are all smaller companies that can’t keep up with their jdm and us markets instead of partnering together with the original company or companies they rather take a short cut and cut out the Japanese company or companies and hassle of charging big money for just one bait by time they got them they probably would have to charge around 100$ for one they are trying to target not just the people with good money to waste but even the lower end people who shop for not so expensive products but keep the quality and as far as ik we don’t have international patents or copyrights to stop them from copying it I don’t think japan even has anything that can keep any other companies from copying products just my opinion on this
I am a Swimbait guy, and made a comment on Chris Zaldangerouss bait on Swimbait Universe yesterday and Zaldain chimes in and Called me out talking shit about his bait. His video, he said he had a bunch of time in designing the bait, and I called it a Magdraft 2 from the company that he just left. I just felt saying you got so many hours into something, whys it almost the exact same bait as the freestyle, just stiffer compound. I'm actually jealous that you have that backing to design a bait and that's what you came out with. I know Berkeleys done it too, but not this time! That's a badass, very innovative, absolutely needed bait that's super reasonably priced, 3 sizes, Awesome Bait!!! Ill be getting a few, especially the 9 in! Another thing, it's silent!! Im stoked Ike!!!!
@troycote4503 hope this is a joke haha, this is even worse than Zaldain’s magdraft, this is an exact copy of the Grow Design Works Flag 170. Nothing new or innovative here it’s a joke. Ask Ike who fished the Flag 170 before releasing this garbage.
@@troycote4503this is all Berkley does…and why people should not support them. Don’t reward bad behavior and it’ll stop. Jumped off the Berkley bandwagon when they stole the Gilly design from Issei. The Gill Flat is a great bait and should have been credited for the Gilly but it wasn’t. The Cull Shad and Nessie are both downright stolen designs and I will put money on Berkley releasing a “Shad profile” that will be knocked off from the Grow Design G-Flag 150.
Mike, I had high hopes for the Nessie and I assume the 7 and 9” models are better but the 5” model just does not swim properly. It doesn’t really glide and the only way I get it to work at all is to add a light nail weight & fish it on a light-medium spinning reel with 6-8 lb FC. It can only be fished like a twitch bait or fluke and does not swim like a glide bait. I have heard this from others who just go their hands on the 5” model. Your thoughts? Have you fished the 5” model?
Just looking at that thing makes me want to do the Ike scream! Imagine the fish to be caught on those... Ike, you have to be very proud of that, that's a game changer for years to come. What a pain in the neck the hard glides are and the landing ratio stinks... you know this Nessie is exactly where it's at if you've been fishing big baits. Next Spring, oh my goodness🤫
As a designer I have to take issue with the outright copy of the Flag 170 swimbait. I understand that the industry is largely copy and paste, but that doesn’t mean that it should be. Designs should be improved upon when imitated. This is a case of a large powerful company copying a small companies bait, winning an award for it and making it more affordable, which will impact the Flag 170s future sales and profitability. For Berkley and their pros to claim it’s originality leaves a bad taste in my mouth and is an issue which needs recognition and addressing in the industry.
Would love to see some underwater footage of the smaller sizes because i got some glides that are 9 inches and glide good get the same glide at 6 inch and its trash
I have a friend that we use to call “nessie” in high school. I’ll let you guess why. When you started talking about “jerking the Nessie” I could hold it together 😂🤣
For new fisherman & gals just learning our art & way of life, it is spot on man. A very thorough 101 lesson & explanation. For seasoned anglers, you stop watching at your leisure. But if ya did that, ya miss how the hook landing went. Perfect for inshore & maybe near shore species. Mike, would it hold up for a bump troll bull or sail? 🤔 Awesome video man! ⚡🎣⚡
I asked around for them… Found some In Sacramento. Ask around? I Don’t have any them Now! I like the trout pattern. Everyone will be tossing the white one… I’ll save it till winter time.
The problem here isn't just that Berkley made a Grow Designs knockoff (they did). The huge problem is that they got you guys talking like its a "game changer", "revolutionary", etc. If you didn't know better, you'd think Berkley just invented this (they didn't).
I use a super fluke and put a nail weight in the throat ( size depends how fast I want it to glide down) how deep depends how much glide I want. Pull and stop. When you pull fluke vibrates with the tail kick, and when you stop, it glides exactly like that glide. I must have caught over 200 fish in the last 3 weeks. Dip the tail into some jj's magic. If they're around, they'll kill that thing. No 360 no active whatever and in a little John Boat. Just run the bank, and when you find a school fire em up drop anchor. Turn off your electronics and enjoy. Sat on 3 schools for hours last few weeks.
When Mike was using it as topwater, it works just like the Jackall Bounty Fish. Cannot wait for the accessibility that Berkley brings to U.S. market. The Bounty Fish is basically an online order with shipping. They also tear way easy, and i'm guessing based on Mike's presentation that it appears as tho it'll hold up better. Plus Powerbait scent, i'm def looking fwd to seing it on the shelves!
Making a judgement on one cast as a presentation and testimony to durability? 🤣 LowBrow Fishing and all his fake accounts! I'm surprised nobody is calling me Randy Blaukat! 🤣🤣😂😂
It looks nothing like the Jackal Bounty fish! They don't even make a Bounty Fish that big! 😂😂😂 Wow! Berkeley must be using bots or fake ratings shills from China. 🤬
@secretbassrigs i didnt base my opinion on the presentation, i did based on my personal fishing experience... bounty fish, although an awesome bait, do tend to tear easily. I only stated that they would possibly be better, because of my experience with durability of Powerbait soft plastics. It was speculation based on experience, not a definitive of any kind. And the bounty fish comes in 6"... which based on the bait Mike is showcasing, it cant be but a cpl inches bigger. I also said it "works" like a bounty fish, not that it was of same size or comparative to any other glide bait. Therefore, you're just not able to comprehend my message. It's okay, i realize there are many who have reading issues too
Damn Mike !! My girl said if I buy ANOTHER fishing lure she is gonna LEAVE . And I'm gonna be jerking more than The Nessie 😂😂😂😮😮😮! Well I'm sure she will find a place to live. LMFAO Can't wait to fish this !!!

Anyone know what's going on with the initial release of these? Was there a manufacturing error or something with the first batch, like what happened with the Cullshad? I've had a couple of these on order with a very popular retailer and the available date initially said "Fall 2023" then it said "Mid-September 2023" then it got pushed back to two or three different dates in Oct, then it said "Nov 7th" then "Nov 14th" then "Nov 22nd" and now it says "Feb 9th." What the hell's up with THAT? How do you have that many pushbacks, week to week, and then go "ohhh..y'know what? We need three more months..."

That twitch & pause is why the Jackall Dowzswimmer is so killer. Very interesting to see a soft plastic bait do the same.
I always forget how hyped Mike gets when he gets a good fish. Love the energy!

Thanx Mike, This is what I was dreaming about! A soft, inexpensive glide bait, I can't wait!...FishOn...jimi
I can’t wait to try this on my local lake .It has big bass and Muskie . 😀❤️🎣👍
Savage gear soft 4 play is what i fish with! Also a killer bait

Can't wait to get some!
Super excited about this bait I think it will be a perfect match for New York
What makes it a perfect match for New York?
You also said the Gilly was gonna be great and swindled a lot of people out of money.
Can’t wait to get one
Great looking bait.
Would love to see some underwater footage of the smaller sizes because i got some glides that are 9 inches and glide good get the same glide at 6 inch and its trash
That girly scream near the end there when you brought that bass up is what pushed me over to picking a few up.
Looks fire
Great information. Bassmd
I need to try all sizes
All crap aside. Mike did teach me how to fish the knockoff gilly and it did catch fish well
Hey Ike, look like killer glides..just ordered 3...think 7" is the best all around size for most areas?
Wow that was some reaction 😂
Man, I cannot wait to get my hands on these. What the hell lmao
Good day Mike. Can you use them in river current
Going to be great for offshore livescope
Ike. Will you be the first angler to talk about scent? All stages of the season? Ya know the best kept secret??? Or not? we want to know!!!
LETS GOOOOOO!👍🏻👍🏻
I have a friend that we use to call “nessie” in high school. I’ll let you guess why. When you started talking about “jerking the Nessie” I could hold it together 😂🤣
Just take my money dammit! This is why my wife doesn’t understand why I don’t ever have enough baits.
The six retrieves was a bit over the top. You can do the same thing with any bait. You can say 180 all you want but it never did it.
For new fisherman & gals just learning our art & way of life, it is spot on man. A very thorough 101 lesson & explanation. For seasoned anglers, you stop watching at your leisure. But if ya did that, ya miss how the hook landing went. Perfect for inshore & maybe near shore species. Mike, would it hold up for a bump troll bull or sail? 🤔 Awesome video man! ⚡🎣⚡
I’ll end up buying one. Of course I will. Lol
IKE this looks fantastic I will most definitely have to try try one. What color would you suggest for Kansas lakes ?? Awesome design 👌
Would it be possible to do a video about lake lanier break down? Love you ike!!!!!!!
I think Jackall makes one like that
Hopefully it is as good as the original Grow Design Works Flag 170
Can we pre-order from Berkley? Can't wait to get some...don't want to get caught in a quick sellout!
finally something interesting
I asked around for them… Found some In Sacramento.
Ask around?
I Don’t have any them Now!
I like the trout pattern.
Everyone will be tossing the white one… I’ll save it till winter time.
Ike is a pot of gold
Ike love you man, but you have to quit lying. This is another bait ripped off of another bait already in the market. Such BS from Berkeley
Berkley guys just out here lying about "innovation" on every new bait drop.
The problem here isn't just that Berkley made a Grow Designs knockoff (they did). The huge problem is that they got you guys talking like its a "game changer", "revolutionary", etc. If you didn't know better, you'd think Berkley just invented this (they didn't).
So whats the difference between this am the cull shad? Other than sizes I mean bait wise
Cull Shad is a swimbait! Nessie is a glide bait!
"I helped develop", "Action unlike anything out there!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Will the smaller sizes have the same kind of action as a big one.
YES!!!
I fish alot swimbaits love to try this soft glide bait out!
have u try the grow design works flag 255?
I NEEED Them
That's going to be a killer glide bait!
If there aren't any issues. The Cull Shad already had issues.
imagine discovering the swaver in 2023, we have been fishing river2sea s wavers when no one looked twice at them, had to be 20 years ago.
Hope they don’t end up recalling them like their cull Shad.
Wow finally one of these glide baits and I can actually afford
Was that twitch reel twitch reel
I use a super fluke and put a nail weight in the throat ( size depends how fast I want it to glide down) how deep depends how much glide I want. Pull and stop.
