Something something international trade laws. This just proves to me that ip and copyright laws are bullshit and need a hard nerf to deal with the malicious ones.
Pretty damn tough to get it to swim upright and straight. He says weightless but you’ll need to experiment using the right weight (or nail weight) and retrieve speed.
I use a light nail weight angled in the belly with a wide gap screw lock 2/0 hook (side hook) and it swims right. Also try it with a simple drop shot hook and weight about 9" (been awesome in cold months; morning hour)
This is an amazing Bait. I have caught more fish with this lately than anything else. The 90 and the 110 are the sizes I’ve been using and when other things aren’t working, I use this and I get fish
yes, it swims like it's dead. Lays on its side and looks dumb. I was caught up by all the YT vids on this so I ordered each size. They all three look like crap in real life. Berkley has caught more fishermen than fish with this bait.
Recent winter success: try simple drop shot (2/0) about 9" and work slow like a t-rig worm. Been HOT in first hour of am. It flops around like a dying (sunfish) and I get massive hits.
Honestly its extremely hard to get to swim straight i found using the inline rig is the best way but I don't use the Berkeley Gilly much because of how hard it is to get to swim straight
Seeing it in water with a bladed jig I feel like pulling the skirt off would be the best choice. Want to see the 90 on the mini or micro whatever chatterbait that came out around the same time. Used it with the new small size Yamato swim bait that that has similar profile and got a few really good bass for my area. Going to try pulling skirt off in general for this profile. Looks like It was already drug through weeds with the skirt. Also how are they not getting sued?
Side rig it with a light nail weight in the belly/angled. It swims right; however, trying as a simple drop shot has been MONEY first hour in ams. Work it like a slow worm so it flops around like a dying (sunfish 90 for me).
Hey Berkley make this bait , same profile , same but in a topwater type perch with the double hook , when those perch are sucking underneath Lillie’s , I think this bait would smash em , but in a topwater bait
When companies run out of new ideas 💡, they make the same bait that another company does and call it something new 😂 And pros are just salespeople these days, if Pepsi pays them more, they like the taste 👅 of Pepsi better then Coke 🤣🎣👍
Hey Mike, did you ever send Murakami a thank you.
Agreed
Where i have seen that bait before????? Oh yeah Japan from issei

Missed a ton of huge fish on this this summer, can not figure out how to rig this thing yet.

I've had a such a hard time catching anything on these , rigging it has been so frustrating also 🤦🏻♂️
swims sideways mostly as well unless you barely reel it in

Mine swims on its side, not impressed either

Inserting a mushroom nail weight in the belly got mine to swim upright.
Oh yeah. The complete rip off of another brand ISSEI. What a joke! Iaconellie acting like this is something new lmao
Excellent, Ike! I destroyed a bunch of bodies before seeing your rigging methods, and these things are DEADLY!!

Looks great
That was a great video, I learned a lot of new things watching that, thank you very much IKE 👍 🎣 🇺🇸
Just ripped of a manufacturer called Issey from Japan and claimed they developed this themselves. Lame.
Mine swims on it side, in multiple rigging ways.

It does not swim straight up and down regardless of how you rig it. Stop lying.
Berkley has caught more fishermen than fish on this bait. Swims sideways and does not work as easy as people say.
Damn that "stache" lol🤘🤘✌️🖖
It’s Issei worm😢
Trying to find a way to put a floatation device in the hollow top? Shaved down a Styrofoam ball but its not enough to keep it upright.
How about the Japanese rig would this also work
I use it as a frog now , and no one is talking about this rig , I use it on a EWG and I swim it over Lillie’s now
No thanks this thing extremely hard to fish " anatomically correct " lol how much did they pay Mike to advertise this even he knows this is trash 😆
This will destroy the inshore game too !
I don't trust Mike anymore.
Missing the boat on the perfect color, it’s a Gizzard Shad , make that color!
Hi Mike, doesn't work... stop advertising it 😂
It does work you’re just not using it right or in the right spot this is an amazing Bait
Actually sucks I wish it would come pre rigged lol
Getting salty in the comments
Trash All hype !! Hahaha don't wast your time
