Nice shirt !! Milman, I have to say this. I’m a Texan, and been taking all your advice, iv been killing it on the big swim baits. The last 2 weeks I have 5 fish over 8lbs !! Sooooo happy thank you for all the confidence.
Love when you come out with a non derby video. I still watch the tournaments but it’s a lot more fun to watch you in your element joking around catching giants. So much more relatable. Still happy for you grinding out the tournaments but I would love to see a good old Cole and Ben antics vidja here soon. Keep up the good work man
Ben, actually tied on a Carolina rig for the first time in like 5 years. Put a hogwalla on there, and caught a few fish over 4lbs in an hour. Guess I need to try not to forget that technique!
Aaron Marten's had a very successful career on drop shot. He's probably the best ever when it comes to drop shot. Changed the game when it comes to that technique
This morning green valley the 🐸 bite was strong. Poor Carter lake is 3 to 4 feet down rite now 😢 can barely get a boat in there. Miss the local vids with you back in nebraska. Always helped knowing what lakes were 🔥
A mix of Hair, Feather. and Skirt make incredible smallmouth jigs. I have one left with a bad hook in a 1/4oz and it was the best jig I've ever used on smallies. I wish I knew who made it but I don't and its like 25 years old and I have it saved incase anyone figures to manufacture it again. There's a market for it at least for me If 6th Sense was to make it.
I’m a new sub Milliken glad to be apart of the MFers. Actually the first video I saw was your hair jig video and I watched the whole thing a couple weeks ago and that’s when I knew to sub. I saw the thumbnail for this video and it had the hair jig and it’s crazy how 6th sense is making them and I might need to cop a couple when they release ;). Possibly more hair jig videos to come too? Loved the video and good luck in the bass master opens!! Keep it up!!! 💪
Mr. Milliken, I'm sorry if this the wrong place to ask this question but, what would be your top 5 swim / glide baits for ozarks lakes? I'm new to the trend and would love to hear your take on what you would use if you could only choose say 5 for year round fishing. Thanks for any response.
Great summer breakdown of lure choices. I just ordered the new released giant 6th sense flutter spoons released this week. Where do those fit in this lineup?
I got real excited for a second, because I thought you were about to show us a new weedles hair jig, but it was a great looking hair jig, uhm why can't it be weedles like a rubber jig? FishOn.....jimi
Do you feel that you rig for several different scenarios and not have to use some of your rig-ups?... curious about the idea of rigging a rod and not finding "heavy brush or rock piles perse" Do you throw it anyway? ( Jus'cause it's rigged)
Hey Ben, great video! Thanks for the tips. I’m currently looking for a versatile cranking rod. Been watching and rewatching your videos trying to narrow it down. What is your recommendation for a shallow to medium crank rod with good versatility? Reel too if you see this. Either way, thanks! 🔥
Please provide the carpet cover that’s own your boat. I know you briefly talked about it long ago and I posted a question on where I can find it. Thanks for all the content! Been an Mf’er for a long time. Keep killing it!
Welp, I'm not the guy in the video 😂 nor am I a frog expert. However one thing I like to do is cut skinny one to two inch strips of pool noodles and stuff them into my frogs. I don't pack them full, but I put enough to float the frog no matter how much water gets in. It makes fishing them way more enjoyable. As for the hooks it just depends on the frog and where I want to throw it.
Hey man love the channel! Watch all your videos. You know any good bank fishing spots near you ? I'm always in that area. My go to spot right now is in the woodlands but I'd like to find some new spots
Alright man, at first I wasn’t sure about you but after this one im now an MFer! (if I make the cut) anyways you had me at thermocline big guy! Tight lines🎣
It has been Hotter than Satan's Taint! But I've seen you catch fish from 2° to damn 102°! Always good shit and looking forward to seeing you up on the 1st place podium Rippin Lips 🎣💥👊🏻.
How do you find the fish in a weedy lake without live imaging? I have a Helix 7 with side imaging, and I'm graphing the entire lake, (80 acre), and nothing is coming up.
I feel your pain. Unless you can see them outside the grass, it's nearly impossible to see them inside. You almost have to just fish for them. Gerald swindle has a video on locating fish outside of grass lines. Good luck!
I love watching all your stuff from tips to educational its all great. But my anxious mind wont let me watch your tournaments cuz i want you to get that W. But keep doing your thing boss.
Ok so because you have told us and have used it so many times I had to give in and use the drop shot 😅 well it happened I had to throw the drop shot and it worked I caught 2 bass in 8 min after fishing all day having hella follows and no real bites, I caught those 2 at 7 pm and I got there at 7am. So Big Thank You for the reminder on the drop shot it saved me from skunking yesterday
Will use drop shot next time tho. I've fished my hole life. Don't hunt. Just use flukes and few other things for bass. Never got into it as much as jig fishing for white perch or big cats growing up. I'm 42 and learning all the ins and outs and tricks and just takn in all I can. I don't care for numbers or really any at all but 10+what I'm learing 85% of my time fishing. I missed a 12+ maybe 3 yrs ago or lil less and I ain't stopped. Got an 8'6" my pb but learing big fish from you only I feel my whale comn soon. From Eagle Lake Texas but in ne Louisiana. Grew cat fishing on the Colorado river. Keep it up make more haters lol

I appreciate how you keep the flow of content with your busy schedule. The cramps from autograph's haven't slowed you down!
I need that hair jig! ASAP!!!
Ben, actually tied on a Carolina rig for the first time in like 5 years. Put a hogwalla on there, and caught a few fish over 4lbs in an hour. Guess I need to try not to forget that technique!
When I started my love of bass fishing at 10 my tote had Mann purple jelly worms and yellow crappie jigs.
That Mann's purple firetail was money.
@@horsesasis4004still is
That hair jig looks amazing, Can't wait to get my hands on some of them. For sure will be one of the first to put an order in when they're released.
Really enjoy these educational videos. Would love to see one on line selection Vs. bait types and rod weights.
Aaron Marten's had a very successful career on drop shot. He's probably the best ever when it comes to drop shot. Changed the game when it comes to that technique
Some really helpful advice ben🎣💪 its definitely been super hot here in texas
Been having some success using a scrounger head with a bucktail skirt on it and a juggle minnow trailer.
This morning green valley the 🐸 bite was strong. Poor Carter lake is 3 to 4 feet down rite now 😢 can barely get a boat in there. Miss the local vids with you back in nebraska. Always helped knowing what lakes were 🔥
You just got me pumped for that hair jig. Can’t wait for the drop. And definitely ready for the drop on the line through!

Really appreciate the video. I can listen to fishing chatter for hours.
So if your on a ledge or a drop off could you throw a jig/crank if the thermocline is a 15 feet and the ledge is from 10-25
That Hair jig looks incredible
Need that hair jig bad! Shuttlecock don’t stand a chance lol

Thanks for the content would you mind sharing the knot you use most I tried watching in your videos but not getting it
That hair jig looks like some heat!!😮💨👏🏼

Try and get your hands on a Spro KGB chad shad
If not you can try a Bacca burrito

Getting hot in Maine this week. Thanks for this info man! 🤙🏻
When will the line thru be available? Will there be multiple sizes?
Thanks for the great advice. I’m planning on putting some of it to use this weekend.
Jigging spoon and white bass. Even during a tournament.
I’m at lake Sam Rayburn this weekend how deep should I fish?
Do you feel that you rig for several different scenarios and not have to use some of your rig-ups?... curious about the idea of rigging a rod and not finding "heavy brush or rock piles perse"
Do you throw it anyway?
( Jus'cause it's rigged)
Excited about that hair jig you are working on 👍🏻
Love this video. Can’t wait to get some of those awesome hair jigs. Bro your shirt, funny!
I like those hair jigs on a 7.4 Curado hg k and the new 7’6 heavy response
I. Needed. This.
Hey Ben, great video! Thanks for the tips. I’m currently looking for a versatile cranking rod. Been watching and rewatching your videos trying to narrow it down. What is your recommendation for a shallow to medium crank rod with good versatility? Reel too if you see this. Either way, thanks! 🔥
Can’t wait to get one of those 7’ 11” Lux rods tho. 👀
I’ve been waiting for the 6th sense hair jig. Glad it’s coming.
Please provide the carpet cover that’s own your boat. I know you briefly talked about it long ago and I posted a question on where I can find it. Thanks for all the content! Been an Mf’er for a long time. Keep killing it!
I've been using 7" blue worms in the ponds in my area
Ben thanks for sharing great selection of baits.
Great video Ben
Is that hair jig gonna come in smallmouth size?
Thank you for this, helps out a lot. ❤
Are they still doing the 6sack
Do you use any of the MVMT series rods for cranking?
Do you possibly have a discount code for garmin units ? I need side scan so I can find them pigs like you
Just getting into frog fishing and really enjoying it. Got a question for you, do you bend the hooks out some on your frogs??? Thanks 😃
Welp, I'm not the guy in the video 😂 nor am I a frog expert. However one thing I like to do is cut skinny one to two inch strips of pool noodles and stuff them into my frogs. I don't pack them full, but I put enough to float the frog no matter how much water gets in. It makes fishing them way more enjoyable.

Those shorts have lasted you multiple years. Unmistakable
good vid, lots of info in 20
you say everything that needs to be said about each technique
awesome
Love the setup for the bait much needed
I've got the 7'9" moderate rod on its way! Looking forward to getting more proficient with deep cranks. 🤙
Use straight braid on it
Cant go wrong with a good ole monster 10"june or redbug down here , blacklight on the brazos n bosque
Great informative video! Can't wait to meet you again at Watts Bar in couple months!

Thanks Ben! I have a lot to learn. I appreciate your knowledge and sharing it.
Good stuff 👍
The dog days of summer can be a grind to just get a bite. I don't usually get skunked but I can come close some days.
Great heads up on summer gear Ben😊! Stay Cool when you can.
Awesome info I will try them out
Alright man, at first I wasn’t sure about you but after this one im now an MFer! (if I make the cut) anyways you had me at thermocline big guy! Tight lines🎣

@Millikenfishing........ haha
Yo that tiger king shirt is FIRE 🔥🔥
He went to school in my little hometown. I’ve never even seen his show. My kinfolk have visited his place.
I had a hard time focusing on the video because of that legendary shirt.
Honesty, I love it 😁👍
Great content as usual
Freaking sweet tiger king shirt. I literally live 1.5 hours away from his tiger ranch. Or what used to be his zoo b
Will use drop shot next time tho. I've fished my hole life. Don't hunt. Just use flukes and few other things for bass. Never got into it as much as jig fishing for white perch or big cats growing up. I'm 42 and learning all the ins and outs and tricks and just takn in all I can. I don't care for numbers or really any at all but 10+what I'm learing 85% of my time fishing. I missed a 12+ maybe 3 yrs ago or lil less and I ain't stopped. Got an 8'6" my pb but learing big fish from you only I feel my whale comn soon. From Eagle Lake Texas but in ne Louisiana. Grew cat fishing on the Colorado river. Keep it up make more haters lol
