Nice! Last Citizen drop on their own website lasted 3 minutes before selling out. I literally set an alarm to go off in middle of fishing trip and put my rod down to buy bait on phone when alarm went off. Bought one, and for shytes and giggles went back online to see how fast baits sold out and wham, all gone. By the way: that bait I bought caught me a 5 lber on 3rd cast (goblin color)
Been wanting to try these for a while, they look great! Might actually set an alarm for the drop, I don't trust my ordering speed against the rabid horde haha
Wow! Last time you did this for the magdraft I caught a 9.3 on it that same day. I just got a little stiff when I saw this video pop up. Time to tie the citizen on
Good lord ben... those megabass & raid rods bro !!! Gunna start petitioning every video you drop for a video of bens fav 20 or so rods in his arsenal and 20 or do of his rarest or unheard of lures lol Id LOVE to see it!! ... obviously i know you have soo many total rods that itd be a 3 hour video just picking em up, naming them then sitting em nack down lol but your top maybe 20 or so rods would be a sick video!! Friends always joje and ask "if you could have one pros entire rod reel lure arsenal, who would it be" .... and I've said the same thing for countless years lol, "hes not on tour, but hands down Ben from hookup tackle, his rod reel arsenal has to be crazyyyyy but given he knows the top of the totem pole level geniuses in Japan too, his lure collection is probably totally insaneee" lol
By some miracle was able to grab some of these when they dropped. No bass but caught a 47 lb striper on one, was actually what I was after though. You guys rock, waiting on some karashis to drop now, I missed the white butterfly karashi since they sold out faster than the citizen.
Love these got crackhead last time but missed this one. Would also love a custom dark color with green pumpkin and blue (this is my go to color in almost everything and it works great anywhere I have used it from NC to MI)
Greetings, I bought these several years ago and never fished them because I have had tremendous success on Magdraft. I have both sizes of the Citizens. Can I fish them on the Mark 56?
Hey Ben, I was curious about the deps gainelement line of rods. What do you think about them? Particularly the soft jerk rod? It's supposed to be designed for the cover scat something I fish often. Thanks for the video
Good info Ben... I do have the Megabass Poker rod and have been waiting for the Shimano Antares DC MD reel to come in. Are you going to get any more of those?
I hope you know that every batch and every bait swims straight. The Only reason they swim to the left or right is when the face is stretched. Even if it’s just a little
On the subject of color: I think it’s color patterns that matter, but not the actual color, if that makes sense. For example, if you have a Perch pattern with the right stripes and pops of color in the correct spots (like the orange fins), then it doesn’t matter the actual color of those stripes and pops of colors. I hope this makes some sense.
Got the Crackhead last round,hoping to snag the Cokehead this time! Just grabbed one of the LDC Standard Issue during your killer sale. As well as another Glideway. Appreciate you guys as always. Any chance you and Geoff have a Glideway video in your future? 🍻
Would you recommend the undertaker rod for 8-10" magdrafts and 2-4 ounce glides as well? Or is it too fast? 7'5" is a bit long from the kayak, but if it can handle numerous baits it may be a win for me
I 100% believe in color for trout. I don't think it matters much for big swimbaits. I have DRT and Deps glides in 4 different colors each, flash and action seems to matter more to the fish.
I'm having an issue finding an affordable swim bait rod I have one that's a heavy 7'3, but has a stiff reaction, any recommendations?? Pairing with the Tranx I have a bunch of 6's & 7's
Musky on the east coast as well. I'm lucky to have only lost lower end hard and soft baits. If you SEE a follow from an esox genus fish.. just stop retrieving. Much of the time they peel away. If they DO hit it, its more mouthy less crushy so hopefully they spit and swim. I am now using a short section of 40lb maxima or 50lb big game as a "buffer" now that the water is cooler.
I think you got the drop date wrong because I was waiting and refreshing at your given time and they never came edit: didn’t realize they where dropping on your site not working class zero’s darn
Yeah well a top UA-cam channel that rhymes with Bactical Tassin have done multiple videos including a recent OVER 3 HOUR one on swimbaits and have never brought up Working Class Zero baits so these must not work. 😉😉😉
I don’t get it, no matter how many I buy no matter how much time I put into it I just can’t get a bite on a soft bait at least on a hard bait I get a nipple every few months
@thehookuptackle_usa no I said what I said. It's a scam cuz he could easily make way more. No different than Sony and the PS5. He only cares about money . He says nothing about people flipping them for triple
This was a sacrilegious episode in the fact you’re talking swimbaits without Geoffrey’s input there.

Awesome man! Thank you for your business and I’m stoked you’re putting the Citizens to good work!!
Day 1 of petitioning for Ben to show us his personal favorite 15-20 rods he has in his arsenal !!!
Citizens and Tyrants are my favorite soft baits. So versatile, and being able to put your bait where no one else can is key. Love WCZ
👍👍
@@thehookuptackle_usa you wanna explain those mini citizens you have hanging up in the background? 🧐
@@morganvanschuyverbro what I just seen that !!!
I see you Ben. Tryna play it slick with that strategic placement in the background.
they look smaller then the 6inch

What a beast of a striper!!
I was literally just saying I need some more 7 inch.. I'm down to my last one and I was trying to save it for the spawn.. this drop is right on time!!
Perfect!!
@@thehookuptackle_usa I have a bunch of other colors but that cokehead color just flat out catches them!!
So pumped about this video!!!
💪🍻
Great info. Alarm set!!!
Thanks for watching!
First fish this fall on the killjoy color I caught a 5.6 on the 6 inch only fish so far on it
Love these got crackhead last time but missed this one. Would also love a custom dark color with green pumpkin and blue (this is my go to color in almost everything and it works great anywhere I have used it from NC to MI)
I will be purchasing two of 6 and 7 ! Hope you have a good stock !other time was gone in minutes
There’s never enough stock so be ready!

Did you ever think about swimsuit combo called the druggies one covered and a crackhead it would be a great combo
Your convincing me to buy these more and more 😂

Think the raid king heavy would throw the 6” citizen good?
Yes!!! Hoping to land at least one pack
👊🍻
WHAT ARE THOSE CITIZENS IN THE BACKGROUND IN THE 5 PAKCK?
As much as I want another setup..
Will the Mark56 or OrochiX10 Bushadder be ok for these?
Only here for the SWIMBAIT stuff. Lol

Always a fun conversation 👍👊🍻
Happy Halloween!
Hell yeah! 🎃
Can you set a jig hook on one of the new 8’6” LDC heavy. I know it’s not going to set a beast hook but was hoping it would set a jig hook swimbait
Yes. He designed those rods to be versatile enough for a soft bait. Top hook or treble hook is no problem
Am I seeing what I think I’m seeing behind Ben👀

Would the omega finesse be a good fit for the 6”&7”
How about the new Super Seven Eleven? It kinda matches the Jungle Seven...?
When are they coming out with silicone citizens? Dang it! 😅
Would you recommend the undertaker rod for 8-10" magdrafts and 2-4 ounce glides as well? Or is it too fast? 7'5" is a bit long from the kayak, but if it can handle numerous baits it may be a win for me
No - not good for glides, and 10” is too much for it
I hope you stocked at least a couple thousand of these this time so everyone can get them and more then 1 pack.
The fastest will win
I 100% believe in color for trout. I don't think it matters much for big swimbaits. I have DRT and Deps glides in 4 different colors each, flash and action seems to matter more to the fish.

Check out the Dobyns lineup of rods.
Irod makes some killer swimbait rods. The genesis line is an affordable option, and the Quercus is great also if you have a little more to spend.
Great video.
Would you recommend the tequila baccarac for the citizen ?
No, too soft.
@@thehookuptackle_usaeven for the 6”?
@@thehookuptackle_usa too soft even for the 6”?
Don't have a big swimbait rod but can these be thrown on the Swamp Survivor?
6 and 7” no problem!
Thanks for the gift cards on my new Wind Buster purchase on Tuesday! Going to use them for a reel 🥹🙏
Awesome!! Thank you for your business!
lost both of mine from the last drop to pikes. LMAO gotta love the midwest
Damn pike!!!

Swims great but I never get bit on them. Well once Iol
X10 bushadder?
That’s what I throw my 6s on
What hook for the 9”???
Is that a smaller citizen on the background 😱
Lol
You sell that hat should linked those hooks not sure just me hooks confuse me
6inch on an orochi perfect pitch?
I don’t know why but white,pearl and pink get bit!
What's that little sneaky size behind you on the wall?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

@@mikeyrivers3728 hard and nipple in one post. 👍
Think of a soft bait as dissecting an area and fishing in cover, glide bait as a search tool and trigger tool

Ben can you fish it on a unweighted hook. Bassmd
You need a certain amount of weight to get the bait moving and keep it keeled. You could nail weight it if you prefer an unweighted hook
Thank you.
All u need to know is that u will never get the good colors bcuz they sell out in seconds and dude makes like 20 a drop
Or you can be as fast as the people who get them 👍

You’re right, they should be at least $55

“2 tone um ”🫦🥰
The other day i didnt have my glue on me, so i used a torch style lighter and it worked beautifully 😅🫡
