What he said about the type of rock the Bass relates to is absolutely a killer tip. Also the tip about how the bigger bass just overtake the bait incredible info. Thank Dave!
Great video guys! Mr. Barker is a legend in our area. I've never got to meet him but have heard lots of good things about him and his ability to weigh in good bags is well known.
Great Video, lot of knowledge there. Funny how some old guys just know how to catch them and don't mess with the advanced graphs. Learned a lot about the cold water take and how to stay in constant contact with the bait. Thanks
I am in Ohio near Lake Erie, every tackle store and bait shop used to have tons of them, they were a top lure for Lake Erie walleye. Chrome with a black back and gold with a black back seemed to work best on Erie.
Smallmouthnation I'm pretty sure they did go back to the old mold at one point. Part of what was so special about those old crankbaits were the plastic that they used. Regardless, the new ones don't hold a candle to the old ones. The wobble is totally different. Brad's Wiggler's are a decent replica. I don't know how the replica Luck-E-Strike made with Clunn's name on it is. I have a few dozen of the old Warts and haven't found anything quiiite as good yet though haha. I'm interested to see how the new rock crawler Spro came out with at iCast this year looks next to an old wart though.
I know this is an old comment but did u happen to try out those rkcrawlers? I intend on buying some original warts off ebay and test them against the rkcrawlers.
TheUnluckyFisherman I have not yet. I plan to, but I don't get out to the ozarks system much anymore unfortunately. I have a plano tray full of about 3-4 dozen old warts but would like to test them next to each other too. I've heard good things. The castability will obviously be a huge benefit. Interested to see the action side by side though. If you do, let me know!!!
this has to be the best fishing and crankbait video !!!!!! and TY for making this video , you are a legend MR Barker. if you do not mind me asking what equipment was you using ie rod, and line. thanks Jason
Freeze up. We’ve caught em deep into the 30s on Table Rock. You have to make it a SLOW presentation but they will eat it. Mix it up between a Wart and a Vision 110.
They get torn up from fanning beds in the spring as well. There is definitely more than one reason their tails get torn up -- laying/swimming on the bottom is absolutely one of them though lol. You'll have fish grouped up out deep in the summer under balls of shad that won't touch a jig or anything on the bottom that resembles a craw because that isn't at all why they're there, but every one you catch will have a torn up tail and a muddy belly just because they've been hugging bottom.
Info was great, kudos. Nine dislikes on this video (smh) stay ignorant ppl. 2018 April 9th and it’s going to snow ❄️ here in Iowa. I have a feeling I’ll be using the wiggle wart tips. ✌🏻🎣
Thank you, Mr. Barker and Talon Video Media. That was an excellent Wiggle Wart clinic on Table Rock. Much appreciated!
Best video I have seen by PBM. Great job Mr. Barker!

Easily one of the best videos on cold water crankin I've ever seen, would love to find more videos with Dave Barker
I fished with Dave in a pro am . Great fisherman and awful nice guy. It was a honor
Thank you for the compliment & thank you for watching!
I had the chance to fish with Dave once at Truman Lake. He is a great man, easy to get along with on the water. Just an easy going, super guy.
What part of the lake were you fishing. Planning a trip soon to Table Rock.
Never been there
I laughed right with y'all at 10:46. Great, great video. Thanks for the information.

Great video! Good information! Keep it up Dave!🙂
awesome video...its nice to see someone teach something and get results from what he's telling you.
Great Video. Lots of great information.
Thank you!
AMAZING video
I use the Livingston diablo! Kinda like wiggle wart but different!
Was he throwing a pre rapala wiggle wart ?
Storm original
Great video with Wiggle Wart master. Music is too loud and not needed!!
Great video, never understood why Storm won't go back to the old mold (pre Rapala) when every anglers prefers that model.

Great job Dave!
Great information. The music is a bit loud.
Pyscho Bass Monkey: Keep up the awesome vids man! You guys make some of the best vids i've seen on here!!
Thank you! Please share...
I'm a Wiggle Wart addict. I love those things.
Real Nice video... Ole Dave should do more of these...He is a great teacher/speaker ... better than most... I bet he could sell some DVD's ....

Hopefully Mr.Barker is throwing his wiggle warts to this day and still has his health
We'll be up on Tablerock on Sunday(5/25),out of State park marina. Picked up a couple of wiggle warts. Is it too late to use them?
Would consider Table Rock to Lake of the Ozarks or do they fish differently? Just have always been curious.
Good job enjoyed it thanks 👍
LOVE my Wiggle Warts. Old model, new model. It doesn't matter to me. They're all good.
I'm very inspired to go and fish a Wiggle Wart!
How cold can the water be before it's too cold for a Wart?
Freeze up. We’ve caught em deep into the 30s on Table Rock. You have to make it a SLOW presentation but they will eat it. Mix it up between a Wart and a Vision 110.
What rod is he using?
This video would be perfect if it didn't have that music
EPIC" A MUST WATCH"
Definitely good stuff!.
What kind of gloves are those?
Their tails are worn from fanning crayfish out the rocks. Has nothing to do with swimming on the bottom! Lol great video
Does anybody really know? Na. We all have our own theories
They get torn up from fanning beds in the spring as well. There is definitely more than one reason their tails get torn up -- laying/swimming on the bottom is absolutely one of them though lol.

lol hes a pro and doesn't know bass wear out the their bottom of their tails from making spawning beds
+v8consumption Those fish aren't making beds yet, too early, water too cold.
+v8consumption Fail. See what happens when you try to be a smartass.
They don't spawn in 39degree water. They hug the bottom for the heat of the rocks. That's what Dave was telling you.
