  1. Great video bro. Hey, I can't believe you didn't mention the "Timber Flash" wake bait by Evergreen or the standard "Gillroid" by Imakatsu. Especially because they are bigger baits. How about the "Garuda" another much bigger 3pc wake N' crank. I would love to hear you touch on these baits. I absolutely love the standard gillroid and the timber flash !!! Thanks for the video!

  2. the ayu clone is a great bait. not too intimidating a profile which entices fish of all sizes to have a crack at it. i like retrieving it with quarter cranks of the reel to give it a crazy side to side head motion.. drives the fish nuts. however, the outer rubber layer is pretty soft, so DEFINITELY get yourself a mend-it too.

  3. Some look good just too small plus I prefer custom baits I dont buy many baits at a store all offline can be a job in itself have way too many now I refuse to sell any LOL but still a couple I would try for sure Got me that Illude 9 oz zombie rat that took a minute LOL. Love Your Stuff Brother!!!! Cheers!! :))

  4. The Jackall Blast Bone is a great buy for under $35, but the replicator DSF looks way more upscale….. I noticed you guys were completely out of stock on the Blast Bones…Geoff, if you fished the blast bone before, what are your thoughts on that wake bait?

  5. Great video man I was asking ben to bring in those phat lab baits a while back but. I still never pulled the trigger on em since I had accumulated so many baits with in that time and at moment Im narrowing down my selection cause it can be over whelming sometimes. I feel its better to have the baits u just know work or have at least a good amount of confidence in and don't over complicate it.

  6. Man I love the Imakatsu baits if only they had a dedicated US destributor cause a lotta their baits are so hard to find, especially the Big Roids which are one of my personal favorites
