I got to say the intro and the editing to this video is top-notch I’m headed online to get some of these Baits right now but if they’re half as legit as this video they’re gonna do great great work guys got me so pumped up to fish the delta with this!!!!
Loved this video, and the intro was awesome! I can’t wait to get out on the water with this bait. I’m still trying decide which rod to try first. I’m torn between my wild bunch and P5 SD!
So how does it compare to the dark sleeper? Other than the profile is there anything different? How many colors are offered? How many jdm colors offered? How long is it backorder til? How tough is the bait How many ways can it be fished? Any other sizes or weights?
Only if I wasn't drinking Orion beer the night before the Hook Up Tackle release of the sleeper gill I could be out fishing this new lure this weekend.
Problem with all new baits is that your never gonna see someone not catching them with it. I've been bass fishing for 30+ years and honestly if you put simple green pumpkin senko in front of any bass that is slightly hungry you will hook up. Don't get me wrong but I love throwing all the cool new stuff but I catch more on senkos and Pittbosses than anything else 😎
What I learned on these today is that if the plastic rips where the hook comes out of the body, it can twist just enough that when you cast, the hook will push one of the fins out of the way and be exposed. I’ve got some mend it curing on it right now, hoping it will keep that hook from twisting and moving the fins on the cast.
With a lot of anglers don’t realize everybody of Lake and everybody of water throughout the United States fish don’t hit the same! And I went to Tennessee Georgia Myrtle Beach and then Florida all on a bass fishing trip and I’m a be honest with you down south I catch 1314 3+ fish all day but here in Baltimore Maryland if I’m fission a bag I can bring in about 21 pounds and that’s a big day!!!!!!!! But the best thing about it is they do catch fish but they catch more fish when the fish are more plentiful and I guess that’s the difference with people don’t understand it’s like having 30,000 different jerk baits do you really believe we need 30,000 to catch a fish what is the catch your pocket. There are some great beats but they’re all copping off each other someway somehow I just like to car industry and my answer in my final answer will always be this , you’re only as good as how you present a bait, how you cast it, and where are you placed that Lure at an around Laydowns in branches and stubbed up trees but the worst part about is the rubber to big fish is done that has been my experience
Not sure why there is such a shortage of this bait. Sure hope it was not planned that way to drive up demand. I think a fair and cheaper substitute is Savage Gear Structure Gill.
Totally different bait - The Structure Gill is a Dark Sleeper knock off. The Sleeper Gill is totally different, more of a swimbait. There's a shortage because more people want them then there is product to go around.
@@thehookuptackle_usa thank you for the explanation. But I thought the Structure Gill was out before the Dark Sleeper Gill so was not the knock off. I know Megabass is usually a superior product so was confused about what was going on.
I purchased 6 of them and they arrived yesterday. I'll be honest, if this wasn't a Megabass product, it wouldn't get all the hype. There is nothing really special about it. Lol.
I think the same thing was probably said about the dark sleepers when they came out. I even looked at them and thought they looked a little gimmicky for Megabass, but they’ve proven to be DEADLY. If the sleeper gills are only AS good as the dark sleeper, then they’re an awesome bait. But, a stouter hook, different profile, and different color ways set them apart from the OG dark sleeper, so I see them used in different applications. And, hype is fun anyways ;)
Here’s how much of a blithering moron I am. I get a couple of these in and decide to hit the water…test em out. I *know* this particular spot is lousy with pickerel but I decide to do it anyway. Second cast, “Oo there’s a hit” * set, SNAP* Pickerel’d within the first 60 seconds. Guess what unimaginably idiotic “mistake” I’m never making again?
Just a thought... Next time, please send out the video prior to the release of the certain bait/lure. In the video, mention how it should be fished, gear ratio reel, what rod was used when fishing and what speed the bait is retrieved for optimal results. It's pretty disappointing and frustrating to see a new video for a product only to find out they are already sold out and will not likely be back in stock for a few months.
Love to see hippie back in a video. Missed out on the opening sale, gonna have to catch it next time.
That hook-set at 4:05...those are the best. When it literally feels like you hooked into a log at first.
The best!!
So dope!!
Yeep!
That Savage Gear dark sleeper knock off is actually pretty legit too. Maybe a tad more weed less but I can't wait to try the new sleeper gill

Cool looking bait. Definitely going to get me some of those. ✌🏻🎣

Do you have any tips for preventing the fin from getting caught under the hook when it hits the water?
Awesome video. And that intro with the editing....TOP NOTCH!
Thank you for watching! 🍻
Hippie your in my spot. Love that place. Just got my order of Sleeper gills. Great video. Keep it up!
Very well made video. Great job!
Thank you for watching! 👊🍻

Video looks amazing nice work

Sometimes a bait need a boujie edit 😜🍻
Great shots and editing
Thank you for watching!
Freakin sick. When is the Agent Sleeper E dropping?! LOL

Sounds like you had a good time 😜🍻
this man is a brute!
This was great. Great to see the joy fishing brings.
Which hoodie are you wearing? Looks perfect. Great video as always.

I get alot of grass caught up on my line, not the hook. Why is that?
Do you ship to Spain
Hippiesagi!!
Little late on the look out for these releasing cause they are already sold out and were just put on the market on June 5th
Well hopefully you got some and this video can help you with your getting your gear set up correctly for it 🍻
Seen so few vids of this bait. Everyone smashing with it though

Hope these are back in stock soon!
I wish they were!
Which lake is this? Looks like some good kayak fishing.
Colorado river
@@thehookuptackle_usa Thank you. near Havasu?
@@jimb1283 this is down by Yuma
Lads need to come to oz on a top end adventure chasing meter long dogs eg: barramundi that weigh as much as you do

Got three in each gill color gonna kill them when the water clears up !

Shits all sold out just made me feel like I was going to be able to purchase one. God!
I didn't order them in time. Sold out everywhere. :(
They remind me alot of the Savage Gear paddle tail bluegill swimbaits.
Nothing like that at all. The kick and stability is way better. Much smaller compact size as well.
@@kevinvue8159 no, the rtf are sweet, just more of a true swimbait.

Thank you for your business. If you don’t think they’re special please send them back so I can have them!

@@AVA787 I agree. I love my Dark Sleepers, caught plenty of Bass and Pikes on them.
@@ReelFrontier And man do they slay the smallmouth
So, the bait is 3/4oz. Do you have to reel fast to keep it higher in the water column? Or not really..
Not really, it’s more of a steady retrieve, not super fast
@@thehookuptackle_usa Appreciate it.
Good lord, a minute long intro?

who is the guy fishing? insta plz?
It's too bad they're all sold out right now
How are you going to post a video of something you're completely out of? You could have waited till you had it back in stock.
Now watch Berkley copy them.
Who cares … you can’t even get them.
First
Good morning!
all these frigging ads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lures are soft..first hit rips all over.
Just a thought...
Next time, please send out the video prior to the release of the certain bait/lure.

All of that information is in the description.
@@thehookuptackle_usa not the point 🤦🏻♂️
That’s not the hottest lure on the market Popmax in respect colors! Lol!
Haha! Truth 😂🍻
I will pass on this one.
If you're saying this now, it's too late anyways. 😄
