thx lisa! been trending a bit on smaller youtuber channels like me. Hopefully I can knock a few more out of the ball park before fishing season starts up! I made one the other day for the Kyrston Loop Knot tutorial ^_^
@@rawrfishing guess I'm particular with channels...and I actually prefer the non clout creators, lol. Thght the vid was well done. Stay well to you and the fam! And belated Ox year!
In Southeast Asia, we fish for Giant Snakeheads, or the local name be called Toman (pronouced as Toe-Maahn) Most of the techniques you described are practiced as hollow body frogs is still a popular choice. But we double it up with Assist cord instead of a thicker braid. After that, you can attached that to a flouro leader without worry of the snakehead biting through the kevlar assist cord. Another favourite tactic is to target their fry, baby snakeheads that bunch up into a ball. Throw a sinking pencil in there and they'll attack without hesitation. Buzzbaits are also quite effective. They live in thick cover, so it's not unheard of to use 100lb test braid and leader to haul the snakehead back to the bank. Cause once you're hooked on, you don't just reel back the fish, you bring it's entire nesting home along too.
It is my dream to fish for them Toman! yeah i can believe that you will need better line for those guys! their fries are HUGE which is insane. our baby fries for northern snakeheads are so small and when they leave the parents, they are normally 2.5 to 3 inches. I would be micro fishing to catch those haha. i can try this year!
@@rawrfishing If the borders ever open, feel free to drop by Singapore or Malaysia. If you ever wanted a 10lb+ snakehead peeling your drag, there's no better place!
you will love fishing for them! are you close to any places that have them? They are growing very fast in the Mississippi river and pretty soon it will be hot in the mid west!
oh snaps. welp.. yeah they swamp up the DE river. so potentially any swamps around the DE river, i would start looking. anywhere bowfins are prolific, they would be there. but if anything you can fish down by trenton area or down further like philly area.
thx man! plenty more videos to come for my Snakehead fishing 101 series! just trying to think which video up next before the spring bite comes.. hmm. i know.. jimbos favorite spring lures ^_^
I am still selling my frogs.. but who knows how long. with the biggest frog influencer out there bullying me and hindering on my sales.., this may be my last batch. still on sale mode too so if you want, DM me!
for frogging, I like a 7ft or longer casting rod. It needs to have a fast tip at least so it can set the hook well. I use MH, H or Extra Heavy (Mag Heavy) for my snakehead frogging as you need a strong hookset to penetrate their strong bite force. I use the Dobyns Sierra Casting SA-735-C
oh they spawn from late april all the way to september! but the question is when do they first bite via prespawn.. and that is exactly when bass start prespawning ;) around the time when bass gets off their beds, snakes starts to spawn more and more frequently. it really depends on how much forage and food and how warm water gets in a specific body of water. You will notice bowfins will spawn first around 60 degrees of water!
20 lbs can be iffy as not every brand have the same diameter for 20 lbs. I would suggest 30 lbs minimum. I understand some folks like to use spinning gears. But I don't recommend it if you are frogging in cover. 20 lbs would be okay open water spring time tho. Just have Thicker leader!
Awesome video. There is no other youtube video that shows these doubled line knots
Thx Man. I used to like the Bimini twist, but that takes a bit longer than the figure 8 knot 😂
Nice demo with the uv light and neon string. First time I've seen that in a knot vid.

Will definitely give it a shot! Until then. Stay safe!
@@rawrfishing if u need a little smaller than 10 lbs u can go to indonesia 😅
@@fauzipanjihermawan576 if I go... it need to be 20 and up lol
Lots of helpful information! Thanks!!
Glad it have helped u. Good luck this season and tight lines
Very informative! Hope we can meet up sometime in the future. Keep the videos coming
Thx i appreciate it! 👍👍! Gonna make more vids indeed! Get a kayak and it's game! Bank fishing is over after the month of May for me usually
Thank you so much for this video!
You are so welcome! catch tons :)
Can’t wait till March
Magical month to fish
Is March when they come out in South Jersey?
@@ivanvoznenko7874 potentially late march. but with polar vortex... maybe not lol...
@@rawrfishing also I thought groundhog saw his shadow and predicted a longer winter?
Or I may have read it wrong..
@@ivanvoznenko7874 that’s when I start going for them, he posted a comment of when they spawn, it’s about the same time as bass
Always wanted to catch a snakehead, beautiful fish!
you will love fishing for them! are you close to any places that have them? They are growing very fast in the Mississippi river and pretty soon it will be hot in the mid west!
@@rawrfishing I'm in northern new jersey, so there might be some places nearby.
oh snaps. welp.. yeah they swamp up the DE river. so potentially any swamps around the DE river, i would start looking. anywhere bowfins are prolific, they would be there. but if anything you can fish down by trenton area or down further like philly area.
Great advice. Love the snakes 🙌
thx man! plenty more videos to come for my Snakehead fishing 101 series! just trying to think which video up next before the spring bite comes.. hmm. i know.. jimbos favorite spring lures ^_^
@@rawrfishing 🔥🔥🔥
Can’t wait to get into some snakehead this spring!
A month away where we can potentially see some action! depending on how many early warm spell days. The ground hog said early spring but who knows!
@@rawrfishing got my 50 pound braid and med heavy rod all set and ready! Are you still selling those frogs?
I am still selling my frogs.. but who knows how long. with the biggest frog influencer out there bullying me and hindering on my sales.., this may be my last batch. still on sale mode too so if you want, DM me!
Thank you so much man
Happy snakehead fishing
Very detail explanation. Jimbo please do a video on the knot you use? Detail method of coz
Thx! I can throw a few more links in the description to tutorials for now until I get those videos done!
Great presentation 👍
I hope I'll finally catch one this year.. fingers crossed
thx! hopefully you will! i may host a fishing event at a local park that have em.. who knows :)

Rapid fire, all my questions were either answered right after I asked them or right before I did.
thanks man! let me know if you have any other questions. a bit behind on video creation, but I can always spend a few minutes answering comments ;)
@@rawrfishing Thank you... what size, action and power rods?
for frogging, I like a 7ft or longer casting rod. It needs to have a fast tip at least so it can set the hook well. I use MH, H or Extra Heavy (Mag Heavy) for my snakehead frogging as you need a strong hookset to penetrate their strong bite force. I use the Dobyns Sierra Casting SA-735-C
@@rawrfishing How many pounds or kilos is the rod rated for?
Thanks for the info man! I also live in south jersey. Definitely going to be getting on them snakehead this year.
You will have so much fun ^_^ more tips to come
@@rawrfishing Awesome cant wait 😊.
@@RexGoesFishing tell me about it! This cold needs to stop
@@rawrfishing Lol fr man! Its been snowin gits butt off this winter. We just got hit again here in carneys point lol. Big snow flakes too.
@@RexGoesFishing interesting. All rain up here at deptford
Glad you answered my questions in my head as I was watching the vid lol #1 when do they spawn in NJ and #2 when is a good time to target them ?
oh they spawn from late april all the way to september! but the question is when do they first bite via prespawn.. and that is exactly when bass start prespawning ;) around the time when bass gets off their beds, snakes starts to spawn more and more frequently. it really depends on how much forage and food and how warm water gets in a specific body of water. You will notice bowfins will spawn first around 60 degrees of water!
I have a high viz braided line and I fish for northern snakehead. Will they still bite with a bright colored braided line? Thanks!
Sure thing! Snakeheads are boss! They don't mind it. I use bright color lures too!
Can I use 20 lbs braided line? Or I have to use at least 30lbs?
20 lbs can be iffy as not every brand have the same diameter for 20 lbs. I would suggest 30 lbs minimum. I understand some folks like to use spinning gears. But I don't recommend it if you are frogging in cover. 20 lbs would be okay open water spring time tho. Just have Thicker leader!
Have you tried the coated hooklink they sell on AliExpress yet?
Isn't that a carp fishing line? Nah... how about u?
@@rawrfishing not yet... thinking about trying it ever since I saw it used for Wels catfish
Can i use 10 lb braid?
When I fish for snakehead... It's with heavy gears. Not UL. While enthusiasts do chase snakes that way.. I don't! Sorry I don't have an answer
👍🏾💯
Hope it is helpful for you, but pickerel teeth is insanely sharp. And bowfins.
Just a quick note Jimbo, it's pronounced BIM-IN-E named after the Bimini district of the Bahamas.
I think I bit my tongue trying to say it lol. Practice makes perfect i guess haha
👍
thx bud
Ah cool, found it. Snake bitten
Que pasa?
@@rawrfishing lol I asked you about this in Reddit. Snake bitten is my handle name. Lol. I’m working so have to finish this video later tonight
Ahh gotcha! Cool beans dude!
