    those strike king baits are great... they imitate goby i think that's why they work so well

    I’ve had pretty good success with the half shell on Lake Geneva largemouth. I’ve not quite cracked the code for the smallies over there. Always fun to see a fellow Wisconsinite on UA-cam!

    These informative videos are great. From making jigs to stuff like this can't go wrong. Outa try a sweet beaver cut in half (half shell)

    The Mann's bait brings me back to childhood, all we used to use in Florida on Harris Chain was Mann's Jelly Worms grape flavored. WalMart is carrying Mann's worms again, not sure about Stingrays though

    Hey Travis, what is your go to bait and setup for drop shotting on the upper bay? I know you talk a lot about the spirit shad but I'm guessing you throw that more up north? Thanks for the awesome content!

    I live in alabama and one of my local shops has those bass magic and sells them on ebay, keeps the good ones for me.

    The last one is the X-Zone wacky leech. Not sure if they still make them but that bait was unmistakable.

    Good video Travis. Do you nose hook or wacky rig the 3" senko when drop shotting? Thanks, Nick

    • @SmallmouthCrush
      @SmallmouthCrush  6 років тому +1

      I do both with that, but I really find myself using it Wacky Rigged the most.

    I am loving the Duo Realis V tail Shad in the 3 and 4”. Smallies smash them on Lake Erie! My PB smallie was caught on one this past summer, 5.8 lbs...give them a try if you haven’t already...great drop shot bait! 👍👌

    The stingray is a great bed bait and on a ned rig

    • @SmallmouthCrush
      @SmallmouthCrush  6 років тому

      For sure, I tried it on a ned rig in the past and it is the real deal!

  • @mgrabo223

    Travis, What hook do you use for dropshotting? I know you used to use the Owner Mosquito hooks,but I think I saw somewhere you changed to a different hook.

    • @SmallmouthCrush
      @SmallmouthCrush  6 років тому

      I use the Gama split shot drop shot hook in size 1 or 2

    Any tips to keep the soft plastics from warping the storage box?

    • @SmallmouthCrush
      @SmallmouthCrush  6 років тому

      No it just happens from the temperature changes mostly. I use those plano with the blue latches for many years and they seem to hold up.

      Gustavo Maciel those were made by xzone lures but I’m not sure if they still make them

  • @nawinchester

    Hey Travis, do you use the 4" or the 6" bass magic shakey worms for smallmouth drop shot fishing?

    • @SmallmouthCrush
      @SmallmouthCrush  6 років тому +1

      Not too much mostly use them for largemouth although they would probably work. I just like other baits for smallies

    Do you rig the half shell and cross tail flat side up or down and why?

    • @SmallmouthCrush
      @SmallmouthCrush  6 років тому

      I push the hook through the flat side up. Technically the bait is designed to be rigged this way. I have however experimented with rigging other baits backwards and there is a time and place for that for sure.

    When you are using the 3" generic wacky worm dropshotting, how do you hook it?

    • @SmallmouthCrush
      @SmallmouthCrush  6 років тому

      Most of the time wacky rigged. But I will also nose hook it. I would say 80/20 on that

    • @SmallmouthCrush
      @SmallmouthCrush  5 років тому +1

      I rarely keep fish. If I do it will be a walleye from time to time.

    Great video as usual Travis. I like the color "edge" with the half shell. What size box is that? And the black keitech leech works anywhere and everywhere! Smallmouth, largemouth, perch, pickerel you name it, they eat it!

      No No not the case! This video was about non goby imitation baits.....I do plan on doing an in depth review of the goby imitation baits and why l love the Gajo's!

    • @kodymackie6808
      @kodymackie6808 6 років тому +1

      SmallmouthCrush now looking at the video again I caught that, there’s no gobies in Candlewood but I’m thinking the Gajo will work if they have a perch looking color, good luck this year brotha, thanks for the vids.

    • @SmallmouthCrush
      @SmallmouthCrush  6 років тому

      Yes those Gajo work in waters without Gobys for sure. They make a perch color that is really good on Champlain so I assume Candlewood would work also
