    been wanting to try one of these guys out. Good to see someone is so enthused about them as much as you. That gives me a bit more confidence in them.

      Yep, I really like them. Find a day when the wind is up and you have shallow cover and give one a go. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks for checking out the video.

    I haven't tried these yet, but I have bought some of the Grass Tracker baits from Bass Pro Shops. Similar bait, but I don't think it has the little dorsal fin like on the Hybrid Hunter. One of my best largemouth this year came on the Grass Tracker.

      I’ve tried one of the grass trackers last year and the biggest difference you’ll notice right out of the box is that the HH has a very loud rattle. I don’t remember the grass tracker having a hard rattle. The grass tracker could be a solid choice if you are in clear water or have very spooky fish. There is also an old rapala bait with that L shaped bill that I’ve wanted to try out but haven’t yet. Thanks for checking out the video and reminding me of the grass tracker. I may need to give it another go.

      Glad you enjoyed it, I appreciate you checking it out. I still haven’t been able to get bit on the shallow

    What’s your go to gear ratio for these

    • @Eightmile_Drifter
      @Eightmile_Drifter  2 місяці тому

      Started out with an older 5:3:1 baitcaster, but have since backed down to a 4:7:1 ambassabeur. I prefer a lower gear for cranking. The only issue I have is if the fish makes a run at me. Catching back up can be a chore but I prefer the feel of the low gear.

    Were you fishing salt water?

    • @Eightmile_Drifter

      For the footage in that trip I was. I’ve thrown both in fresh and salt. Using the original HHjr I’ve done ok in salt but the jr and full size original really shine in fresh water. I still have not caught anything on the shallow versions.

    THE LIP ANGLE LOOKS A LIL DIFFERENT ON THEM....

    • @Eightmile_Drifter

      Best I could tell from looking they were the same but I didn’t measure the angle, you could be right. I still have not done well with the shallow.

    Has an S on the bottom!

    • @Eightmile_Drifter
      @Eightmile_Drifter  4 місяці тому

      Yeah, that’s a good way to tell the difference. I still haven’t caught much on the shallows. These days I check to make sure there is no S before I tie on. Haha

    Line tie is in 2 different places

    • @Eightmile_Drifter

      That and the slight weight difference is what I believe makes the baits run differently. I’ve thrown the HH shallow several times and haven’t quite figured out why I should use it over the original versions. Thanks for checking out the video.
