Great video. I need some help. I live here on the west coast and fish the Delta a ton. The delta has a lot of subsurface vegetation and we typically fish braid on the river. I've been having a problem with my braid twisting to the point I have to strip the line off. I checked the bill and the bait and it runs straight. What am I doing wrong?
Hey Baitman, it’s amazing I just got a notice to watch this, and I liked it 3 years ago 😂😂 I remember first following you at 900 subs man time flies and fishing has quadrupled in the past 5 years…. Still good stuff and video 😜👏👏👏
Crazy. UA-cam must be telling me or you something lol
I can vouch for the hog farmer 100%. Gives excellent action and the bill is perfect. And it has a dang good hook on it as well. I run a 5" jerky j on it and have caught giants. I would like to try the others you mentioned here too. Thanks for the vid!
No problem. I love the HF. Scott makes great stuff
Has anyone ever tried a scrounge on a castaic jerkey j kicker I get alot of fish on it .
I haven’t bud. But the unique thing about a scrounger is you can change lots of things
Do you have a video on Scounger Head Bait Retrieval?
I don't but I did a stream with Jake Lawrence where he talks about it. He's the best I know at it
My dad told me he used to fish the scrounger jig heads back in the 70s for stripers , not a recent release of the platform. I just don't think alot of people use them, they have led me to some bass tournament purse winnings though
Great video I subscribed.
I used them back in the 80's when i started surf fishing with curly tail grubs down in rosarito, mexico for perch.
I will be back on Ky Lake with my brother, who has a home on Malcolm creek. I bought a couple of dozen scroungerheads on eBay last winter LuckE Strike I didn't know,but got them on auction and cheap. 😂😂😂
Well done. These baits have been around longer than 2006. We have thrown luck e strike scroungers since the 80's, but who cares. Very underrated bait.
They catch for sure!!
should you not cut it straight before lining up the hook?
That bait has been around since the 70 s scampi lures maid is
You need to stay on millken and get him out here . Would love to fish with the both of you , would make my year .
Thank you. Going to try this. Love the channel. Shopping time.
Awesome video brother!! You should post some kits as Christmas presents that contains everything heads,bodies, glue so forth. $75-100 ledgelocker box that contains everything for ledge Fishing like spoons jigs crankbaits scrongers
I agree!
Thank you for this video... I for the life of me could not figure out why in the hell people are throwing these so much lately.
I'll be honest. it is something i had struggled with being effective with..then one day I smashed their lights out..
When bass are aggressive with big crank and swimbait seem to be effective. When they are moody and hugged on the bottom the scrounger seems to get a few to bite
Then again, us fisherman love BAITS that catch checks
These might work for lake trout in the fall on lake Michigan got a big reef i fish 👍🐡
If you choose chatterbait and scrounger jig, what are your considerations, why ,when,where, and how? Thanks
loaded question! scrounger for deep water and a pure shad imitator
You think maybe you'll have some jerky j's and some of the babes in stock we'd the 4th ? Love the videos , keepem coming .
Little birdie told me they’ll be here Thursday
Ive looked far and wide and you literally cant get them anywhere but online in my area...and theres TONS of places near me
Aquavert GreenWorks which are you looking for? The scrounger head of the jerky js? Scottsboro Tackle Co has them.
New subscriber here, just curious would you say this is more of a warm water presentation or can it be fished in the winter as well?
Scott Smith first thanks for subscribing.
It is a great cold water technique. I’ll go with light lime and 1/4-3/8 oz. heads with a super fluke jr or the small jerky j on the back. Super slow roll around deep bridge pilings, points, or around suspended balls of bait
Thank you for the great videos. Really appreciate it and glad your close to home which gives me more confidence in trying new stuff to me out on the same lake. Have a good 4th. Your channel should be at least at 100k subs for real.
Thanks for the Kind words. We will get there
I have photos of me with giant white seabass I caught at the mouth of sanqinten bay in mexico on the original scrounger bach in the early 80s that had been around long before that
Brian Hanel awesome I’d love to see it. Unfortunately never got around to the bass fishing world till quite later!
Hey kevin great video! I have never used this technique and wondered what other techniques would you say are similar to fishing a scrounge head? Thx and enjoy the 4th!
Swimbaiting..Chatterbait Fishing. Using a 3/4-1oz chatterbait or heavier out deep is very similar. Problem is most lift hard to keep on bottom
What do you think about the Zman 7 in fluke type bait? It doesn’t seem to tear as easily to me because of the elastec material but still has decent action. What are your pros and cons?
great bait..the one with with elaztech is securing it on the hook shank. I think the hog wobbler would be the best one with the wire keeper.
I heard Lambert makes his own bill for scrounger. Not sure though. He seems to do better with it than most. I believe he has a mod that no one knows about yet
I know who makes his bill. But I’ll keep my mouth shut in that
Hey, I just realized that you are Tackle Freaks, and I've bought from your company, and I think Alex Rudd may have link Tackle Freaks on one of his UA-cam videos. I'm on my way to Kentucky tomorrow from Raleigh NC. I'll definitely place an order when I get to my brothers, so I can use it on Ky Lake next week. Thanks again for your chAnnel, I just watch your vid from ICAST ...2018 🎣🎣🎣. Will from Raleigh
How do I know if it runs right? :-)
I picked up a couple of 3/8's Fish Head Dude scroungers. I saw them at my local shop and wanted to try the technique out. Are they any good? They look nice....but seem head heavy compared to the Hog Wobbler or Siujin....at least the way they are built.
My local lakes have smaller shad vs large gizzard shad....how much should I downsize? Is 3/8 too big?
The action will make the bait shake back and forth..the tail should have a whipping action. The scroungers dont thump like a chatter bait and it fools some people. Its a subtle technique. 3/8 should be perfect for you.
Thanks!! Appreciate all of the videos and the education. Love the channel!!!
I've never fished a scrounger, but it looks interesting. No real ledges in my local lake. Thanks for the lesson.
Dont have to have ledges. The 1/4 and 3/8 ones are great for around bridges and rip rapp!
*Beautiful Video Congratulations! Have a very successful week. Hug!* 👍
Thanks, appreciate the compliment
What is the most Popular Scrounger Head Weight used on lakes?
1/2 and 3/4
Awesome breakdown. How about a Pulse Fish Scrounger Head, how would it work? Have you tried it? I'm new to this scounger thing.
I love these videos. Thanks for the info!
By far the best video I've found on scrounger heads. Thanks
Thanks John. I have an ever better one planned
Great video Kevin. Have a great 4th of July
Just a helpful tip, super glue is hydroscopic. So it needs moisture to cure. After you glue it, give it a quick dip in the water and it will cure almost instantly.
Thank you for the tips. I will have to try that!
Good job. Nice informative video.
That 7 foot 3 pitching rod is the one I'm most interested in out of the non AGS lineup but I've been waiting for a review on it, how sensitive is it how light is it what's the balance like I made Iowa guy and mainly use Steez SV and steez AGS rods but something about that shorter pitching Rod piques my interest and I would like to know more about it
It’s really versatile. I can’t wait for the new 76MH. It’s sensitive and balanced well. And too be quite honest I’ve used that 99.99 Diego on it and am SV and either reel Feels great.
TheBaitmanTV thank you but for your response means a lot coming from an experienced angler like yourself keep up the good work and I'll keep liking every video and sharing every video and doing my part to help you grow, I will support tackle freaks before I support Tackle Warehouse
TW is a great website and has a plethora of fishing stuff. I never ask anyone for all their business. Just keep us in mind! Thanks for the support
Do you use a swivel when fishing a scrounger to avoid line twist?
terry mise no sir. I use a small snap
Why not the blade minnow or zako for a trailer?
For a scrounger, they’re just simply not built right to thread onto a scrounged head
@@TheBaitmanTV but why? It’s just a jointed fluke.
Blade minnow doesn’t have the same action as a fluke. Not does a Zako. Neither really have much action, actually. They’re great chatter bait trailers. It would be hard to thread the blade minnow on a scounger. But definitely experiment and try. 👊
@@TheBaitmanTV well I’m just brain storming. If the scrounger is like a chatterbait with a soft blade it just seems to make sense that a chatterbait trailer would be best. I’ve used flukes on scrounger a but haven’t tried the others. Seems like the scrounger blade produces more toll where a chatterbait produces more shake. Shake is better for jointed soft baits and straight tails are better for the roll.
@@firstlightangler6049 you’d be correct. The scounrger is a back and forth roll.
Awesome video best informative vid I’ve seen on scrounger heads
Thanks Grant!
Hey guys! Be sure to mash that like button for me! Links to baits / products in description.
Jerky Js are now in stock!!
-Baitman
Hey baitman just subscribed to your channel, great info. I did have a question I notice that my scrounger head with a jerky J wants to spin around and around twisting my line instead of wobble, what am I doing wrong?
Make sure it’s perfectly straight. Use a slow reel. What model scrounger are you using
I am using a 7:1 but i do reel it slow. I am using the scrounger brand in 1/2 oz because I did not know about the others until this video.
What a hidden gem this channel is. I'll be out on Gville Thursday, I'll give this a shot, thanks for the info.
Do u ever have problems with them twisting up your line on your baitcaster! I’ve started using a swivel
P.S. a Senko....awesome action behind the scrounger from here in TX
Waiting till i can find some here in Ontario 🧐
Ladybass you going to Icast
Great video dude ! Thank you I needed all this info just learning this set up 👍
Keep up the great work!
All the best,
Jimmy Willis
Great video Kevin. They say Jason does something to the scrounger bill to get more action. Any idea?
As far as I know nothing. We have talked about it on the phone quite a bit. He has all his custom made
He told me it was the material his bill is made of. He said the brown color plastic is best which is also what is on the old ones that you can't find.
Bassin' Tim thanks
Scottsboro tackle has a sniper scrounger jig head it’s dope
You do not need SUPER GLUE on the PICASSO SUIJIN. I have caught 15 plus fish and never had the bait slide down.
Another reason not to glue it is so you can reuse different baits.
Anthony Hampton you’re right however if you listen to the video it’s a guide how to rig them all.
Can you use strike king blade minnow
It’s a little too narrow to thread on
Good stuff and thanks for the info👍
Thank you for taking the time to make this video, and will be looking for more!
Hell yes!
Awesome video!
Thx. Need to update this one!
@@TheBaitmanTV I’m new to the scrounger and this will help me get started. I’ll likely begin on the lighter tackle presentations, do you have a preference on one style of jig and plastic for something in a half ounce or less or finesse set up? Thanks again!
Yeah. I have learned since this video that lighter line is the way to go. 12-14lb fluoro. Parabolic Rod as well! I personally like the hog farmer and Picasso the best. Spunk Shad and Jerky J
@@TheBaitmanTV thank you very much!
Hey Baitman , How well will this work up here in NH waters we have glacier lakes, clear water and tons of rocks Thank you
Probably pretty well! Id look at some of the smaller weight options and downsize the profile of my bait!
Nice video...What type of line mono/flouro and #test ?...Thanks!
Andre Fish fluro
12lb gives it the most action
17lb gives you good action with less worry of break off but doesn’t allow the head to wobble as much
Nice job man! Very informative!
What pound test are you using?
Great stuff man!!
It’s originally a saltwater lure
The jerky j 7 inch is huge
bIG bAITS= jAINTS
Best scrounger video on u tube.
Well done Kevin, excellent vid....
Eric Cooper 👊🏻
Great video: great info on an underutilized technique!
Thank you!
Your history timeline of the Scrounger can't be right . I fished these things with great success way back in the 1980 's .
Grunter they were never mass marketed until the mid 2000s..
Personally I had never heard of one until then. But it’s nice to know guys had them back then. Thanks
Grunter yup my dad was using them in the 70s striped bass fishing
Line size??
When I first shit this video I used 17lb. The more I’ve learned 12lb is the way to go
How do you avoid line twist when throwing a scrounger head?
Cole Lakely What kind of line are you using.
TheBaitmanTV
Copolymer, P-Line Floroclear in 12 pound to be specific.
Throwing a Fish Head Dude in 3/8ths with a zoom fluke Jr.
Massive line twist. I’ve tried the Picasso ones that just came out too. Same thing.
same here., I now use a swivel clasp on these., no more line twist
William Pinion thank you
Cole Lakely always with spinning reels use a swivel
hAPPY 4TH fROM IDAHO" GREAT VID"
What kind of line are you using for that set up????
I use 17lb Fluor
Several guys use 12lb allowing the bait to have more action
Excellent video!
Hey Baitman how could I get in touch with you?
Send me an email : baxterthebaitman@gmail.com
It’s funny that this is just now becoming popular because of Jason winning on Kentucky lake this year, cause I’ve been throwing it since jerky j first came out with it... all these heads are inconsistent. I like it on just a zman chatterbait pull off the skirt and your good to go. Just be sure to glue the plastic. That zman chatterbait shakes way harder than these plastic bill lead heads. FYI guys trying this technique it only works for schooling bass chasing Shad. You might catch some just throwing it down the bank or off points but it shines best when they are chasing shad
I respect your opinion but a disagree
It works on more than schooling bass..I have caught individual fish I have seen on DI
The scrounger is also designed to be a subtle presentation. It is not designed to thump like a chatterbait. Apples to Oranges. Its been popular 3-4 years now..if not longer. But it has certainly become household tackle talk due to the success on the TN River
TheBaitmanTV didn’t say you couldn’t catch a individual fish... I just said it shines when fish are on ledges chasing shad. 3-4 years ago I could buy them on TW and at my local tackle shop, actually they were at a discount cause they were not popular. Now in the last year, sold out everywhere!
Your exact quote "FYI guys trying this technique it only works for schooling bass chasing Shad"
And that is not a correct statement, just from my experience, however each lake is different.
Just saying, that for the purpose of this video, it is about how to-riggin- and bait selection. I think it is a disservice to viewers who may read the comment section to say, this technique only works one way when its pretty much been proven its more than a schooling fish bait.
Musk Beard this bait has been a staple for my summer fishing for 10 years, it’s way more than just a schooling fish chasing shad. It’s a phenomenal bait for igniting suspended fish!!!
Thanx Baitman
Do any of these jigheads NOT spiral on the fall? I love throwing the scrounger but it wreaks havoc on my line due to the twists. Maybe it's the trailer(s) I'm using but I've tried a couple mentioned in the video. 8-/
Eric Block try to keep a little tension on the line instead of totally slack lining the bait down. This way the bail will actually “swim” down, you might even get more bites on the fall!
Thanks for the tips Jon
TheBaitmanTV really like this video, especially the point about not using a boot tail type bait with the scrounger head, can tell you how many people I’ve tried to tell that it’s counter active to the action imparted to the head itself!! I was fortunate enough to find a very large supply of my preferred 1/2oz large bill original scroungers!!!! I am encouraged by the Picasso offering and will be giving those a try! Thanks for the very informative video!
Jon Hudgins thanks for the response! That’s exactly what I’ve discovered as well but still overtime the twists can get pretty brutal for me. I was just curious if someone had come across a particular head, as I’ve only had a chance to try a couple different ones, where keeping your line taunt on the fall wasn’t necessary.
Eric Block I’ve only fished a few different versions of the scrounger, J&S Kiblinsky, Original Scrounger and Lucky Strike. It really depends on line size, the trailer you are using and the brand in particular and how well it’s been put on the hook!! I just find that keeping a little tension on the line keeps the spiraling to a minimum!!
Really don't wanna be that guy, but it's been around since the 1970's brought out by John Waters. Mainly a saltwater bait and Aaron marketed it well (more) recently as one of his all-time favorites.
Great Tip. Thanks for contribution!
Yea my buddies got some of the old ones that are dynamite. Way better than any of these made today. Good info. I can't seem to get mine to roll or anything. Zero action. I have tweaked the bill some side to side and nothing. Any advice? I am throwing tremor head and lucky strike
Bassin' Tim try the Picasso. I’m telling you it’s good
dtack777 I use to make them with Aaron’s friend Josh Kolbenski. (Rip)
👊💪👍
So, have you fished these yet??
All the time
Anybody ever try it at night?
no sir I havent..
