Legends, get into it! How good was that Collab format! bloody loved it, A Big thanks to Mick for getting involved buddy
Lets go!! Big ups to you my rival 🥊
As a rival, i still love yah mate, LETS GO! big ups to getting me involved and it was a pleasure
Hahaha legend. So your conceding?
I wont tell the viewers that you didn’t include my video of the 44 fork yellowfin bream, typical……
@@flickwithmick bahahahahahah. That one you were dreaming about?
Hey mick what kind of reel were you using in this video? is it a diawa td black 2500d? or a diawa td black mq?
@@snxwwy8240 hey bro! Thats the older td black, still waiting for the mq to drop 👌🏼
Always rely on the trusty cranka crabs as my preferred creature bait but I really like the design on these. The versatility of cutting them down like some of the other bait junkie range is a bonus. Keen to try them on my next trip. Cheers for the review!
Thanks Luis!
I love creature baits although I sometimes wonder if they do a better job of attracting the fisherman in the tackle store than the actual fish. My current favourite is the Kasumi Dancing Bone Doctor I love how intricate it is. Can’t wait to give the Risky Critter a flick over the holidays.
Bahahaha. So accurate dude. A lot of lures do that hey!
Great review once again, Collab with Mick was cool too. Favourite is the crabby but I haven't really played around with creature baits much. Will be getting my hands on some of these when I get the chance.
Awesome dude, glad you liked the collab, remember the link when you're into it
Well done Byron and Mick - honours shared on the fish caught! I've had good success with the Pro Lure Live Yabbie fished over nipper banks. Unweighted Ecogear bream prawns are also a favourite.
Cheers buddy
Great take on a collaborative Byron 👏 another informative and enjoyable review.
Awesome
Well done Mick, you did your state proud.
Boooooo!!! 😅😅😂
Awesome content. Really enjoyed the crossover with FlickWithMick. As for a personal fav creature bait, I'd have to say the Camo Gulp Crabby 2in. Perfect size for fish to inhale with the added scent dispersion.
Good choice, tried and tested!
Since I saw you post the photo a couple of weeks ago I've been so keen to see the clip and to give them a run! Thanks mate, I've finally got a lire I can confidently replace my trusty squidgy lobby! I've only got a couple left, and I've been searching for a replacement! Very excited to throw these at bream and bass Thanks mate!
My pleasure dude but I didn’t design it! I just reviewed it. Hahaha hopefully they work a treat for you.
Good to see a bit of interstate competition! Berkeley Gulp crabbys are hard to go past for me but definitely keen to give these new Daiwa creatures a go!
Mate the Crabby is a proven lure
Cannot wait to get my hands on those risky critters to cast at some flatties🤙🎣 My favourite creature bait at the moment is the Zman TRD craws soft plastic in the bloodworm colour, or the Zman finesse frogs in the green colour have been nailing the Bass.🔨👍, awesome to see the collaboration with Mick, cheers Byron 👊… FWM
Dude, buy em through the link legend.
@@ByronTeaHill will do!
FlickwithMick 100% NSW Represent! Another awesome video mate,. Also can't go passed the Gulp Crabby 😋
Hahahaha. 1 for Flick
@@ByronTeaHill sorry mate 🤣
Hahahaha my brother!!! Les goooo
@@flickwithmick yewww!
I don’t use creature baits very often because I haven’t had any luck with them yet so I don’t have a favourite!
I love the imitation of the leg movement, had to wind back up and watch it again haha
Going to check out Mick’s channel.
You should, he does some great landbased content
I used to love the 3inch gulp crabbie on a jig for bass! Lately just anything around that 3inch.
Those black ones will be a great substitute as gulp don’t do the 3inch anymore, great video again mate!
Thanks Alex! Appreciate you sharing your thoughts legend!!!
My favourite that I'm currently using is the zman crusteaz. Keen to give these a go. Great video as always Byron!
Thanks legend
Great video and SO informative as always. I haven't fished creature baits before but have been excited about these since they were announced. I can't wait to try them on Bass, Redfin and Yellowbelly in my local waterways!
Awesome Matt! Thanks for commenting legend
@@ByronTeaHill anytime :)
Not had too much joy on creature baits but love the way the Holt Production swim prawn walks along the sand, looks exactly like a nipper.
Holts got a good prawn going on
the 2 inch and 2.5 inch gulp crabby in camo has gotten me off doughnuts countless times and it is my favourite for that reason
I know that feeling!
Rocking the 'Bounty Hunter' tee - a little bit of Kiwi in Oz. Nice. As a kiwi 'lured' to your channel by the Mokes series, I enjoyed watching this. I think I'd hard to find living down south having watched all the incredible Queensland-based fishing and weather on various channels, but it's cool to watch you in action on home turf.
Yeah boi! Bro thats insane you're watching from NZ. I've got another 5 of them to pump out soon. hopefully you enjoy them dude
BTH .......for the win, plus looks like you need some love mate. Misses giving you a slap, Daiwa burn and GoPro not on. Priceless.
My favourite creature bait is locally made Munroe's Soft Plastics ripple bug! In either swarf or motor oil, there's not much that won't hit them. Salt or fresh, there a close match for our juvenile squid here on PPB.......Plus 100% Australian Made and always great service.
Cheers
Yeww!!!!! Thanks for the thoughts Mark, glad you enjoyed it mate
Enjoyed the Collab with Mick. Good to see it being used in different locations around the country. Haven’t really fished with any creature baits but definitely going to give these a go
Awesome dude
Loving the look of these!
My fave to date has to be the Berkley Gulp Crabby in the camo colour. Throw one of these on a light jig head in the shade of a moored boat and you are on!
Nice one!
Love the State of Origin theme in this one Byron lol. I’ve been using the Damiki Monster Miki 2.5” in light cinnamon as my first creature bait option but can’t wait to try these.
Glad you liked it buddy!! thanks mate
I have done much with Creature baits in the past but after watching this video I’ll definitely be giving these a go.
Awwww yeahhh!!
Nothing beats throwing unweighted or lightly weighted creature baits around the south coast and Gippsland weed beds and oyster racks, OSP do-live shrimp has been my favourite for a couple years now, great action and a slightly smaller profile for when the fish are being finicky.
Nice Lachie! how good.
Salt water yabby (in roe) Colour from low tide lures australia are awsome creature baits on the flats, especially if there are nippers around. I always try to support the little guys and aussie products. Thanks for another great vid Byron.
My pleasure Nigel
Favourite creature bait to date has to be the ol gulp crabby in camo. Has served me well multiple times especially on the Gold Coast. 👍
tried and proven Harry
Love the colab
Cheers dude
Loving this colab format. Great to see two of my favourite UA-camrs working together, too. NSW FTW! 😎
My favourite creature bait has been the Berkley Gulp Crabbie in 2.5” Camo.
Pumped that you enjoyed it dude
The Damiki monster miki's are one of the best. I cant wait to try these in Sydney too.
Nice bro!
Cranka crab for favourite, but most expensive around structure 😅 Can't wait to try them. Thanks Byron 👍
No worries Peter
My favourite creature baits currently are the live yabbie from prolure and the do live shrimp from OSP. Historically the hang from Berkley is always the king. It'll be interesting to give these a go. Merry Christmas mate.
you too Jason, thanks for watching both vids dude
Loved the new format! My current favourite is a 2in Gulp Crabby in camo. Super excited to give these a try! Thanks
Good luck!
Great vid. My favourite creature bait is the Zman TRD crawz!
Cheers dude
Hey Byron, this was a very fun video as I haven't had a proper go at using creature baits yet but I do have the ZMan TRD Clawz in motor oil in my tackle bag ready to go when the time comes to give it a go.
Thanks!
Very cool
Fav creature bait for bream is the monster miki, for bass the trd craze. Great vid. Collab was good
Awesome Alex
Love to see these new daiwa baits coming out recently but will forever stay loyal to zman 🤣
hahahahaha legend
Great video Byron. My favourite creature bait would have to be the Gulp Nemesis in camo, the bream and whiting love them!
Thanks legend
Awesome vid mate, really can’t wait to get my hands on some 👍🏻
I usually throw Razoredge Bruce’s or Baitbreath rush craws
nice choice!
Great collab with Mick… loved the crossover. I’ve only ever tried out the Gulp Crabby in Camo. Keen to try out these new Baitjunkies as they seem to attract the fish.
Some Very Nice Bream there Byron but it it was a numbers game it looks like FWM is victorious over the Victorian!Unfortunately I can’t tell you my favourite creature bait as I’ve never tried any as yet! I shall definitely give these Risky Critters a go upon release👍
hahaha! legend.
Nice Video. Going to check these out. I throw creature baits in the fresh usually. My favs are the Keitech Crazy Flapper and the Damiki Monster Miki.
Good choice!
Camo Gulp Crabby 2.5 is my go to creature bait. These look good cut down, I've already got my order in!
Proven lure right there
BTH has to take out the win with that 42 to the fork! 🐟 I have only had a chance to throw one creature bait in the Zman TRD CrawZ 2.5" bloodworm around structure for bream and it worked a treat. Great collab guys 🤙
You're in! thanks Jimmy!!
I am so stoked to get stuck into some of these. They look just varied enough where they could be used in a lot of different situations. My current favourite creature bait is pro lure yabbie. Perfect for slow dragging across the flats.
Entered Andrew! thanks for getting involved mate
Great to see you and Mick teaming up! Favourite creature bait still has to be the cranka crab in olive.
So good!
Liked the variety that mick caught . Havent ever used any creature baits but like using motor oil and watermelon colours
Awesome Paul, thanks for commenting mate
Only creature baits i've used so far is z-man crabby in watermelon red and 2.5" camo berkley gulp crabby. I like the berkley gulp crabby better it has longer legs to entice the fish and the fish love the scent. Cheers mate.
Cheers Rex!
I've not long started using creature baits and had some success. I'm currently flinging the Strike Tiger 2" Bug but after seeing the Critters on the Daiwa site I was intrigued to see how they would perform and they do catch fish. Good to see it used in different environments to fit our different needs.
I like the colours that Daiwa have released them in very diverse.
agree Darren, thanks legend for getting involved
Creature baits will have a place in my box would love to try some
100% dude
Great to see my local in this vid too😂 Mick forgot about that sunken tree on the first fish it seems.
My go to creature bait is the keitech crazy flapper in 2.8" green pumpkin pepper chartreuse. Bream weapon!
Loved the video mate 👌, did like to see you did a little change to fresh water, even if it wasn't displayed. Amazing amount of detail and information regarding testing. Great work. For me haven't gotten into creature baits yet but overall looks like the way to go with spinners and chatters so looking forward to testing some in the future. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Matthew, I;ll have another in a couple of days
Another cracking review mate. I currently use the pro lure for salt water and the crabby for a trailer in freshwater. These look pretty sweet, keen to try them out.
Nice one
I think Mick may have outfished you land based in arguably Australia's dirtiest system. Top video Byron well done mate, thoroughly enjoyed....
bahahaha
Can't wait to get my hands on some!my favourite, albeit not a pure creature bait is the Squidgy Pro Prawn Wriggler, in cracked pepper. Brilliant on flats in that subtle clear colour when the prawns are running especially!
Nice!
Byron been waiting for this video for ever and so glad I waited all the fish u caught in the video were very solid fish at the moment am using the pro lure yabbie and love it and caught some nice fish thx Byron love the vid
No worries Xavier, glad you enjoyed it buddy and thanks for getting involved
Gday mate, great video once again and I’m really keen to be able to use these plastics they look awesome and will definitely become my new favourite creature bait. My favourite creature bait right now would be the 2 inch bug from strike tiger. Great vid mate
Cheers dude
The Damiki Monster Miki is a go to for me. Can be soft on delicate on the jighead but the fish smash em!
popular one!
My favourite is the old trusty gulp crabby in camo but also I love the ecogear iso worm in the natural colour
Entered Perry!
Nice collaboration mate I like the angle you went with and to get a review in both vic and nsw can only be a good thing I have to say I have a few packs already as for favourite creature bait would have to the the Samaki spider prawn in pumpkin seed orange however depending on the situation and structure both the gulp crabby and Berkley Hawg still have a stash of them and who can forget the top hard creature bait of all time the cranka crab nice review boys and think there is space for more collaborations to come in the future
Hey dude, I'm happy you enjoyed it mate. those lures are killer mate, always an open door to collabs!
@@ByronTeaHill hmmm this could be interesting 🧐
Until now definetly couldnt go past the good ole crabby or a razor edge lures bruce, but this is a new staple also!
totally
This was a great video man I come from Flickwithmick’s channel and I definitely subbed bro, great collab would love to see more of this 🔥
Thanks for the sub legend!!! Bloody awesome
Anytime mate 👍
That’s a tough comp to call great fun though!!! I would say the creature bait I get most use of is the gulp turtleback worm and cranka crab in olive 👍
Good call legend
Awesome video again mate. I love using the Zman TRD Crawz rigged with a Nedlockz jiggead. Nice long pauses keeps the crayfish imitation in a defensive position on the bottom with its pincers up and seems to entice a few goodens 👌
Thanks for the tip!
nice vid mate, i got a 38 yellow fin bream on first cast with em, they work so well.
Awesome to hear!!! That’s pretty cool
I never use this lure. Nice video always ☺️
😂 hahahaha
Hi Byron,
Love using the 2.5inch Gulp crabby , but don’t use creature baits often ! Can’t wait to use these though !!
These risky critters look awesome. BTH only just beating FLW. As to my favourite creature bait I don’t have one as I’ve never fished creature baits but I’ll be sure to grab a few.
Thanks Joel! I knew I had one supporter!!!! hahaha
NSW on top 🤴
The Zman trd crawz are a awesome lure to catch so much fish.
Can't wait to try out some of those risky critters they look absolutely cracka 🔥🔥🔥
Once again NSW on top 🥵
Boooo.. this video was discounted due to family biase
@@ByronTeaHill Hahahaha.....Mick caught more fish but you caught less but better size/quality One's then Micks Flatty streak🤣🔥
😂😂😂😂 ibby MA MAN!!!
Can't beat a camo gulp crabby but keen to give these a go
its a good little lure legend
My favourite at the moment is the prolure Live yabbie in either Mud green or chartreuse shrimp
Awesome Johnathon!
Only used one creature bait before and that’s the zman trd crawz, caught a couple bream and flatties but can’t wait to give these a go cause they look a lot better. Just getting into jig bass fishing so will try them as a trailer. Can’t wait🤙
Nice!!
my go to creature bait would have to be a 2 inch gulp crabby, Camo for the dirtier water and pearl watermelon for the clear water such as f when i’m fishing the rack at foster or even a Gulp Nemesis if that is slightly considered a creature bait for when they are honed in on the bait fish.
such a proven bait hey!
These look great. Can't wait to get my hands on some. My favorite creature baits would be the strike Tiger range of 1" nymphs or 2" bugs they are great on trout and redfin. Favorite colour for me are the black caviar and olive pepper. Another great video!
Use the link to get some brother! awesome choices for the redfin
My favourite creature bait is the 2" Zman crusteaz in bloodworm colour
Cheers for entering!
Awesome collab 🔥🔥
Thanks 🔥
Another epic vid, have to be the prolure live yabbie pearl green on the boat rails in Sydney harbour.
Awesome Angus.
definitely be getting some , I've had a bit of luck with the Zman TRD Craw, on flathead , and the Gulp crabby on bream in Sydney on the Parramatta River, be trying them around wharfs and bridges, great video Byron,
Cheers Anthony, thanks for sharing your experiences mate.
The Gulp Prawn is go-to when i know there are shrimp in the system.
works a treat
Bth for the win I reckon 😉I’m but sure it’s defined as a creature bait but the gulp turtleback worm is the number 1 lure around here. There’s a local worm that come out of the mud that is nearly identical to the pumpkin seed colour. They sure ain’t durable but the do catch a lot of fish.
Yeah gulps catch heaps but break easy.. when snapper fishing with gulp crazy legs jerkshads it’s not uncommon to go through 2 or 3 bags of plastics a day
I don't see why Daiwa would be upset. All the reviews were good!
hahahaha, well it was a risk!
Yes you dodged a bullet!
Loved the collab!!! Sorry mick, Byron won this one. Maybe you will win the next one… hopefully there is more.
hahaha I hope so too dude!
Haha!! 😡
These look awesome, i haven’t played with many creature baits but the one that has not failed me is the keitech crazy flapper in watermelon red 👌🏻 looking forward to the spike video. Cheers mate
Entered!
Fav creature bait is the 2.5 cammo crabby by Berkeley, it’s my doughnut saver and got me 5th place in a comp recently.
awesome
Great to see you collab with Mick! Would be cool to see another Sydney fisho collab video! Awesome video, Byron!
I love the Gulp Crabbies in the brown, they’ve got in-built scent and are great for working the bottom like you would with the Cranka Crabs in structure!
These new Daiwa creature baits look mint, gonna grab a couple for Chrissy for sure!
Glad you liked it legend
Another great video and informative review can’t wait to try these out currently for me on the creature baits in the fresh where I live it’s the smaller strike tiger nymphs and in the salt the pro lure yabbies
Cheers buddy
Gulp Crabby in Watermelon or Breen are the go for me. They don't hold together for long but they certainly attract the fish and can be fished like bait if you're feeling a bit lazy :D Would love to give these Risky Critters a crack.
Legend
Don’t fish creature baits very often unless you count a cranka as a creature bait but my favourite that I have fished is the keitech crazy flapper slays the bream when they are keyed in on that sort of presentation
I'd count that!
Good video as always Byron. I use gulp crabby 2 inch camo, but with very limited success. Don’t usually throw them near structure, so that may be a reason. Land-based without net vs bass boat with all the gear, mmmm, my vote goes to Mick.
Good stuff
Great video, nice info regarding the rigging. Guessing you didn't have any issues regarding durability of the tails. I enjoy using the Z-man TRD craw either good old motor oil or greasy prawn. TH for the win as one bream is worth 5 flatties. Suspect I may end up with one of each of these to cover fresh to salt.
Nah, there’s been a little development in the material since the BJ’s were released. They’re a treat
I been loving the Daiwa grubs.
Camo UV colour been smashing the Skippy /Flattys/Herring on them down the local beach.
Been getting heaps of nice Swan River bream on them too.
Definitely my go to colour.
Sweet dude! Entered, that camo is a pretty popular one. Catches em!
Can't wait for these to be released. My current favourite creature bait is the 2 inch zman crusteaz in watermelon red. However will be replacing them with the risky critter when they are released.
NSW for the win.
They are out Lachlan. Check the link in the comments brother.
Haven’t used a lot of creature baits, but my favourite would be the zman crusteaz as it caught one of if not my biggest bream
awesome Ned!
Awesome to get a good in depth look at these lures so great vid again, at the moment my fav creature bait is probably the o.s.p DoLive Craw 3" mainly for bass but do use occasionally for some bream
Glad you enjoyed Simon! Thanks legend
Mick won for sure big trev and a stack of flatties plus he was land based haha
I don't throw many creature baits but favourite is the OSP Do Live Shrimp
Boooo
@@ByronTeaHill 🤣
Generally my “go to” creature baits are: Berkley Gulp, Nemesis Curl Tail Prawn Soft Plastic Lure 3in Peppered Prawn Colour or the Berkley Gulp Alive Crabby Lure 2in Camp Colour. But there’s so many to choose from for me and it all depends on weather, water colour and location as to what I choose but in general those two would be my “all rounder”.
Thanks for sharing legend.
Great video byron :)
I have 2 go to fav creature baits the first one is a eco aqua in the salt and pepper colour ( with little to no weight ) i would fish that when sight casting bream on the gold coast canals. and the second is a pro lure live cray greenish colour ( doesnt say the colour on the packet). :) and i would fish that one around heavy structure like fallen timbor and bridge pylons.
tight lines, CJ :)
p.s. keep up the great content!!!!!!
will do CJ! it's awesome to see you come back over and over for the last year!
@@ByronTeaHill its pretty easy to come back when it is great content :)
I like the gulp sand worms in camo colour
Awesome dude!
I’m only using a creature bait in the fresh; a Zman TRD Craw on a jig for Bass.
Cool vid Byron, smooth editing 👍. In two minds about this new SP, it’s coming into a market already full of creature options so I hope it does ok, but looking forward to trying their new frogs.
The frogs do look good hey
