ONW MORE THING: I did not discuss which rod, reel and line combinations I use for the HH, so I apologize! Here’s my general thoughts:
I fish this more like a swim jig than I do a crankbait, so my combo reflects that. I have liked a 7’4” MH rod best so far, with a 7:5:1 gear ratio reel and 17lb fluoro. I know Mark Zona throws his on 20lb fluoro, so that could work too. I’m sure you could also do it on lighter line in open water. Alright, that is all. More videos to come using this soon 👍🏼
Just started watching u last month I already learned a lot!! Thx and I will keep watching! Hopefully u can teach me things to help me to get me back to the Jr. National Championship!! 🎣🇺🇸
MH moderate or MH fast? Just curious if that matters
You can get that darting this way and that way motion, simply by , don't laugh y'all, but boil em. Get a potato masher, hold your crank down in the boiling water . This will change the shape drastically. You'll have to ruin a few , or go through a few until.ypu get the ONE . you'll know when you got the ONE. You'll know. Talk about mad reaction strikes. Don't nail me to a cross y'all, but if you ever do this mod to the wiggle wart , you can take it out of the boiling water , and immediately trim down the plastic lip , to make it run shallow . I'm telling y'all, I've been laughed at , and just blow. Off, by so many fellas I give this tip to. If ya ever try it , stick with it until you get that ONE , you'll see a very effective reaction strike lure mod.
@@jamesbushiii7504 email me how exactly you do that please! TylersReelFishing@gmail.com
What's the action on the rod? M, mf or f
I've been waiting for this video for soooo long! Everything I was hoping for in this video, great tips, Tyler! Keep the GREAT content coming!
So glad it lived up to your expectations!
It’s about time someone made a video of the hybrid hunter thank you, I caught a few of this bait I shallow water, also when it first came out it was hard to find but over all I love this bait Todd did a great job with this bait
And Todd did not even do much tinkering to it! It’s basically the same mold as the Bubba
Ok when it first came out about a year ago it was hard to find
Fished this in shallow, open water the other day and caught a tilapia of all things. It's fun though. I really dig fishing with something that gives that tactile response; bladed jigs, Colorado bladed spinnerbaits and now the Hybrid Hunter. Fun stuff.
Ok, I just got one of these and I seriously can’t believe how well they work. It’s crazy how the bass react to it. This video was a huge help Tyler! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and experience with us bro. God bless.
Fantastic break down. 👏
Excellent info Tyler Thanks and God Bless!
Keep it up brother! Always got the fire tips 🔥
Great video. Always fun to learn about new lures.
Of course!
I caught your last video that you were using the Hybrid Hunter and just slayed the bass. That video made go to Sportsman's Outfitters and order 1 of almost every color. Can't wait to try them!
Go straight to SK or Tackle Warehouse next time! Use them video description links son! Helps me out a ton👍🏼
I just bought 5 Strike King Hybrid Hunter Jr's in different colors. I bank fish only. It's early July in Indiana. The grass in ponds is incredible at this time. Using topwater Frog's and The Loon Whopper Plopper in 90 size. But still getting hung up on Grass! Punching through the grass with heavy weighty jig's. The jig's are producing big bass. So I think The Strike King Hybrid Hunter Jr will be another bait I can use. All season long. Good luck to all pond bank fishermen. I haven't been skunked in 3.5 years. Shawn.
I started fishing the hybrid hunter a few months ago when they showed up at my local store. I now have a box dedicated to them. I’ve made believers out of friends. I’ve caught some really nice fish with them. I use a stop and go retrieve. Usually I get hit on the pause . I’ve even had it smashed on top when its just floating. Im thinking about painting one black to try on a night mission.
It’s crazy how effective it is if the fish are in that mood
What are some of your go to colors?
@@johnnyp2155 I have been catching on the small yellow mirror the last few days.
%100 agree. Im loving this bait so far
Great info! Thanks!
I like your back drop. Nothing like a water front cabin!
I appreciate it that you did a review on this bait. I have been looking at for some time now, and I wasn't sure about it. I will be getting a couple of these crankbaits myself.
Heck yeah!! Shop using my video description links if and when you can!
@@TylersReelFishing is there a promo code on the hunter?
I watched your videos on this lure and for my birthday my girlfriend bought it for me(she’s the best) we went fishing together and it caught my first decent bass of the year. I don’t fish cranks a lot because they get snagged I fish ponds because I don’t have a boat. This was the perfect pond crankbait thanks for all your videos Godbless!!
I have always skipped this lure due to the weird bill shape. I had no clue of the awesome background and versatility. I can’t wait to give it a try now! Thanks man!
Glad I could help!
Fantastic info, thanks!!
You bet!
Great video! BTW you recommended Eagle Mountain Lake when I asked you for advice on where to fish other than Lewisville and Ray Roberts because I was tired of getting skunked. Well I just finished up there today. That like is waaaay better! I didn’t get skunked either! Thanks man. I appreciate it.
Heck yeah!! I love to hear that
I know we bassin it over here, but my wife caught a 2.6 lb speckle cat today in a pond 😊. Her first fish 🎣. Love your content Tyler so informational ✊🏻😇🙏
My finance just killed my PB on a rooster tail in a lake so proud and now she’ll keep coming haha
What in the...That is a crazy looking bill, great discussion about that lure man! I'm for sure picking one of those up!! Can't wait to try it out on some spring pre spawn Largies!!! I'm sure Largemouth are all like, "OMG, that looks tasty as heck!"
Heck yeah man!! Make sure you shop using those links in the video description if you can!
@@TylersReelFishing Absolutely man!
Loved to see you come to LA city ponds and catch some fish 😂 you'll give up rethinking your whole life 😂
Gonna be a heater🔥
These things go through way more that grass, I was fishing laydowns and crushing bass on it and it comes through wood as good if not better than a squarebill, awesome bait super buoyant so if you hit a limb stop and it will back out super quick and start cranking again !
For sure way better than a square bill
Love the videos
Hey Tyler! I am a recent subscriber and I truly love all the content you put out. If you ever get a chance, you should fish at Choke Canyon if you have not before. Lots of big bass and tons of different kinds of cover to fish. Keep up the awesome work buddy!!
Choke canyon looks quite large on the map. Thanks for the tip!
Ole choke! I have not been there yet, but I’ve known about it for many years. I will definitely get there at some point
I know this video is old so doubt you'll see this but to those that fish this fast, do you add any twitches or pauses in your retrieve? or do u just burn it all the way back?
Hey Tyler! Appreciate you and have learned a ton from the channel. Quick question as I set up for spring bass here in Michigan. Do you replace stock treble hooks on your lures? Would love to know why or why not. Thanks!
Not many lures I fish “need” new trebles. Strike king has upgraded theirs from what they used to be, so unless I’m going for giants, I just keep them stock
Awesome video I have to get one
Do it!
Went and got one at Bass Pro today to try it out at the city lake. Well, no luck but on about the 20th throw my line snapped 😭 so didn’t have much time using it.
Shoot!
Dammit I meant to order some of these months ago and it completely slipped my mind… Awesome video and thanks for the reminder brother!
Glad I could be of service
@@TylersReelFishing perfect timing - mike Tyson voice
I have a question for you I did buy one and right out of the pack I kept running to the left so I did tune it was not hard have you ever had that issue I do plan on buying the JR also thanks for the tips
None of mine have needed tuning so far, but that’s not out of the realm of possibility
So what’s the difference between the swank vs hybrid hunter? Great video Ty, god bless you! 🤙🏽💪🏽🔥
I’m honestly not sure, but I think it must be a different action and or float rate. Everybody seems to be throwing this one right now and not the swank
That was a good one Tyler...
Awesome! Glad you think so!
Would like to see this on your 100 ponds series
You will!
I went got a bunch thanks bro
How does it do over shallow rock T? We don’t have a ton of grass here in Western OH.
Was good so far! I’ll be doing more testing on it very soon
Thanks!
No problem! Thanks for coming over here to watch!
I own three of these lures. 2 are of the junior variety and I've caught fish on them but I ordered a new one in a bluegill pattern but it's huge compared to my jr models. Personally,I never use such huge crank baits and I'm half disappointed that it's not what I expected but half excited to try something new,maybe it'll get me a huge one lol but I'd like to know your opinion on the different sizes?
The bigger one definitely gets less bites, but works better in dirtier water in my opinion
I've tried swank it definitely has not produced like the hybrid hunter. In Florida fishermen have tons of grass lakes I keep 1 on 1 rod most of the time nowadays
Had one for 6 months, only thrown it a couple of times with no luck. Will be bringing it out during post spawn
Do ittt
Just got into fishing is there a type of color I’d need for sunny/cloudy or water clarity?
Welcome to the club!
Ive got three of them,red ,translucent w/purple ,and chartruce with black back. These things are legit. Crushes em where others fail.
It really gives em something new!
I just picked up 2 Jr versions of this bait. And I haven't really fished it ...took it out to cast it and check the action....
Pretty sweet...should be pretty killer...don't know what you should call it...don't care if it works like it looks in the water.
It works amazing in shallow water! Caught a 10 on one
Great video.. you talked a lot about this hybrid lure... but you never really talked about the weights. There's 4 different weights ... definitely going to be buying one for shallow water 2 to 4 deep. What weight do you recommend .... and do you recommend the full size or the junior?. Thanks
That’s true, because when I made this video last year they only had two sizes. Don’t worry about the weights, just about the sizes. The Shallow version is new, and great for 1-3 feet of water. The normal dives 2-5. Jr. version on each will run a tiny bit shallower, but not much. Negligible.
I fish the Jr. 95% of the time, unless the water is dirty and there are lots of big ones. But the Jr. caught me a 10, so it still catches bigs haha
@@TylersReelFishing Thank you very much for your response you answered my question
You convinced me!
Awesome!
Tyler, do you have a video on how to read/use sonar fish finder?
Not really, but there are tons of good ones out there. It’s pretty well covered on UA-cam. Look up fish the moment
@@TylersReelFishing ok. Will do. Thanks
Tyler in ponds do you throw jr or regular size?
Jr. Almost always everywhere
I just grabbed a few I can't wait to throw it in a cpl of ponds around me in pa with a lot of grass
Perfect!
Tyler, I know the video is a year old so you might not read this but if you do, please ask Strike King to consider offering the Hybrid Hunter in more colors. Besides the red and chartreuse versions, their colors seem to be more niche than bait fish oriented. I think it would up the effectiveness of the bait. Thanks as always.
We've got more coming I think!
Just spoke with them and 12 new colors are coming out next month!
How fast do i need to throw this and what time of year? great vid keep it up
Best in spring, and however fast you want
@@TylersReelFishing awesome! thanks 😀
Question, if I could only buy two Hybrid Hunters, which two colors would you suggest?
Chartreuse blackback, and red
@@TylersReelFishing Thank you!
You need to check out the 6th sense Swank! They are very close to the same thing but with better colors and hooks!
It doesn’t catch em as good. Ask east Texas guys
@@TylersReelFishing I’ll take your word for it. I’ll have to try out some hybrid hunters here in southern IL
I prefer the swank but the hybrid hunter is good
@@TylersReelFishingit definitely catches bass better than the hybrid hunter. In my experience
How do you think these would do around cypress trees?
Not sure! Only way you can know is give it a try. I am about to try it around some rocks. Stay tuned for that on my channel
What are the 2 best colors in your opinion
Red and and chartreuse black black
Have you ever had problems using 10lb test with this lure… and are you using the Jr. hybrid hunter
I like the Jr. and Sr.
Are you guys mostly throwing the 3” version?
I throw both a lot, and will throw the extra shallow version now too
What colors work best year-round
Chartreuse black back and clear Shad variations
As far as I'm aware that L-bill style was done in the 80's from rapala just in a different size presentation bait in the shad rap in limited numbers around the midwest for years.
Yes. I have that crankbait , and it came to mind as I was watching this video.
Hmm interesting. Strike Pro definitely made it famous around Texas with Todd though
@@TylersReelFishing I could be completely wrong but I've seen some oldish Rapala lures with that same bill on it when I was younger.
🤔 I'll try it
Give it a shot 👍🏼
Lake Washington shorelines get super grassy, but are prime territory to throw a crankbait. Maybe this would be my solution
I bet it is
I literally just bought this exact lure yesterday. I have yet to watch this video or read any comments... please tell me it's good
Well I’m biased, but I think it’s a good bait, and my videos are good
@@TylersReelFishing Lol. Well said dude. Thanks for the reply. I'm glad to see I'm on the right track for picking out good lures. It's still cold here in Wisconsin. We've only had a handful of sunny 50+ degree days. Hopefully in a couple weeks I can head out and try this lure for myself. 😀 BTW if you do end up all the way here, Blackhawk campground in De Soto is AN AMAZING place to fish. It would definitely belong in an episode of 100 ponds.
bro rlly tried to sneak in that nick young lmaooo
So what you are telling me. Is that if I fish this over tall moss in shallow water. Then I’ll get less snagged on moss???
Moss is horrible no matter what lure you’re throwing. Check out this video to help you with that ua-cam.com/video/N2Ma0sM0g2M/v-deo.html
I know all bait companies take ideas from others…but 6th Sense has had that bill on the Swank 77 for years.
Bro watch the whole video before you comment😂 The bill was created by Strike Pro longggg before 6th sense or SK. I linked the full history of the bait to my video description
@@TylersReelFishing I saw it afterwards. I thought I deleted my comment, I guess not. Lol. My bad.
Your videos are always very well done and incredibly detailed. Should’ve known better than to comment before watching it all.
I saw one of these at academy last night but looked too gimmicky for the 10$ price.
Nah, ain’t a gimmick at all
6th sense fishing make one to Swank 77x and swank 66x
Yeah, but it’s not the same blank
Hi
It does look weird😂
So odd lol
You say you do trusted product reviews but all you do is push SK and Lews. A more unbiased approach would be how TB does it.
SK and Lew’s pay me enough for me to do this full time, and I believe in their product. If I could make a living doing this and NOT be sponsored, I would. Until then, enjoy me catching giants on “biased” reviews of great product
Show us the action of the lure underwater or else all of your promotions and talking are meaningless!
With all due respect, that makes absolutely zero sense…
Also, just go on the strike king website and you’ll find all the underwater footage your heart desires 👍🏼
Need too do a Giveaway
