Walkers TV do it I’ve seen Flair do it three videos a week four videos a week then I started fishing with with Andrew Flair that was a big changing moment in my life So what you just wait to this was actually my first time ever watching that video and it’s been on the internet for like 3 years but to be truthful everybody back in the day even today are always coming at goog and trying to I don’t know nitpick or make fun of or or

Just talk really negatively about us which is fine I get it when you’re on top people throw rocks at the ones on top now another reason why I never really watch it’s cuz a guy was way too irrelevant and really to me he still is and what I mean by irrelevant I just

Don’t think it’s worth my time responding way back when but you know I’ve been watching all these these videos of people that have purchased where is it oh this thing right here somewhat kind of smells like you know like that Halloween store when you walk in they’re only available

A month that weird plastic smell now within that video just to give you guys a clip notes he does talk about the fact that one of the owners the owner of of six cense did come and speak with us back in I think it was like 2017 now us

Being the go Squad we were just being a brand new company we were either wanting to well buy a brand own a brand not really build someone else’s brand so guess what we did we decided to go our own route and we made our own hard baits

And soft Plastics as you know now one of the Glorious tidbits that were left out of that video you know what it was the fact that 6 cents didn’t have an engineer just like ween so guess what we were all using the same Factory overseas to build the internal of the bait you

Know when he’s doing a little like a little macarina thing he’s like oh listen internals the same oh this is the same cuz they sold us both the same internals and by the way this is not a knock directly at 6 cents themselves or Ben milikin cuz by the way the gentleman

Can fish I’m not going to say he can he really can he’s a good fisherman but being a good fisherman does not make you a good bait designer as exhibit one this right here this thing well it may had a little bit too much to drink cuz it has

A perfect name because it gets the spins as you reel it in ask these consumers well you don’t really need to ask them they’ve been posting about it themselves I actually have a couple other complaints I don’t like the way it falls kind of Falls kind of Wonky like I said this is not a knock on Ben or six cents himself directly this is me just kind of putting it out there the industry as a whole everybody knocks everybody off it could could sound a lot worse if I said everybody beats everybody off but everybody knocks

Everybody body off literally you can there’s only so much you can do with a crankbait but you know let’s actually go back to the original video because I want to share with you guys some stuff I’ve learned I think you guys would like to know as well you know

Let’s actually start with the number one bait here on the list we have the LC 1.5 and then we have the crush 50x now I’m going to tell you guys right now the LC 1.5 which a lot of you guys may know is a very good bait and I’ll be linking all

These baits in the top of the description because I want to show the company some love that we’re the original designers now this one right here this LC 1.5 was originally called the RC 1.5 if you didn’t know then it got rebranded the LC 1.5 it’s kind of strange that both the

LC 1.5 in the crush 50x look exactly the same H all right I got my handy Danny milikan tool let’s go ahead and turn this sucker on zeroed out all right zero this is the one he used so we’ll go ahead and take the LC 1.5 real quick

We’ll go right behind this what did he got behind the Gill plate right okay so we have uh 19 exactly 19 okay that’s good God bless it are you kidding me the crush 50x is exactly 19 as well well don’t you worry I grabb the goog and Banger just

Because I don’t know cuz he probably would it’s 19.3 shoot you know what you don’t believe me what we go next up all right and if you don’t believe me here you go here’s the LC 1.5 we’re going and just throw that sucker right on there it say

The hooks are down what does that say 38 here’s the Crush 50x 39 okay well that’s kind of weird here’s the old googan Banger that apparently was knocked off from 6 cents 46 next up is going to be the strike Pro this thing has been around

For about 15 years it has been known to all those hammers on Sam rurn in Toledo Bend yes there’s a reason why they put the original on the package cuz oddly enough I don’t know the movement 80 looks a little kind of the same H I’m not going

To do a weight test on either one of these because truthfully I don’t really care and I think it’s kind of goofy I just brought it out to make a point the original kind of looks like a grasshopper the one and only damn it got good hooks on it I

Guess and this right here approves that having a new consumer come into an area where they don’t really understand how long a bait’s been around and really good marketing which they do have can kind of get the original kind of push the de side and no one even knows about

It good job that was pretty smart now I really don’t want to go down a RAB hole with you guys and dissect every single bait cuz be truthful like I said at the very beginning this is not a knock on them this is a knock on pretty much the

Entire industry they take one bait and they just remake it over and over again if someone wins a tournament on something they’re like I can make it better and then guess what it actually isn’t better you know what sells marketing packaging that’s what it is guess what this is another one all right

So Strike King made this bait right here I think about 5 is years ago maybe six years ago might have been about 6 years ago this bait hit the market but guess who actually made it first strike Pro well guess what striking did they were smart they licensed it the original bait

Was called the Bubba it’s about 15 years old a lot of you guys probably don’t know this guess what you get a little history L guess what came out a few years later this bad boy right here the Bubba or the Strike King whatever you

Like to call it that’s what it is look at that bill pretty abnormal right about think about six years ago might have been seven actually then a couple years later God bless it look at that bill son of a gun that looks oddly familiar this is just

Another proof of what I’ve been saying this entire time it’s not really just a company it’s the industry as a whole and another reason why we did not want to go with six cents and go with them to create our baits we wanted to prove to the industry that they were wrong about

Us all the way back a few years prior we tried to work with all the bigname brands and they laughed at us they said YouTubers were a joke which is kind of funny cuz now looking in 2024 every single guy that’s wearing a jersey is forced to make YouTube videos you know

Why why because the brands are realizing they made a big mistake I think it’s time for me to undon my magical lab coat because this thing gives you powers and I’m bring in the man with a plan that knows a lot about the soft baits let get this

Off I think it was made in Pakistan here go ahead and put this on it’s time to talk a little bit about soft smelly swimbaits I actually swam this in the pool this morning as you’re seeing and it was it was a doozy now the gentleman

I’m bringing on is an expert in the field and one of the reasons why I want to do this is to give credit to the bait manufacturers who were first to Market with a product that was really good so much so you see imitations coming

Out hey Rob thanks for having me in the laboratory today I’m glad I only had enough in the budget for one glove that’s it so swimbaits I mean hey look the swimbait community alone like those are the guys you don’t want to disappoint cuz not only are they smart

You can’t sneak anything past the swimbait community uh they’re super critical and the last thing we want to do is disappoint the swim bit Community because we don’t like negative feedback at all not not in the lab not out in the field we hate negative feedback so with

That all being said we have a couple swimbaits out in front of us here we just released the brand new dangerous swimmer top hook line through design something that I’ve been thinking about for years and years and years I’ve been doing the swimbait thing for you know 20

Plus years and when we look at a couple swimbaits we have on the table here just like you were talking about earlier we were talking about you know this little tabletop lab session we have here you got to give credit where credit is due whether you’re talking about the 8 in

Hudleston original wedg tail swimbait or Mickey Ellis in a you know top hook style swimbait like this I want to do something completely different and enter the dangerous loaded swimbait here but when I’m looking here I mean what do you what do you got going on here what do I

See I see uh you know this looks like a condensed down version of this little bit a little bit I don’t know and I think this one might have a little bit more uh there’s a lot to go with the the plastic consistency of a swimbait to

Make it do the right thing so it doesn’t seemed like it had a hungover type morning no pun attended and also say mega bass did make a very very good swimbait I just hired the man with a plan to make that type of thing much

Much better now I did see a video that was posted here recently and it was from the same gentleman he was talking about when he designed the swimbait he said that he put the hook on top not because it looked anything like this one or anything like that but he said he didn’t

Put it on the bottom because it doesn’t get stuck on and snagged on wood this is a feature that I didn’t really talk about that is just basic to me at this point that I really like and that is that we split that Top Fin um a lot of

These swimbaits where I I rig it like the Huddleston uh I always rig it back and I like to have that hook on the back right about past the halfway point on that bait you have to put it the uh the rigging the harness to the side of the

The dorsal finan and that can cause the the bait to want to roll or go to One Direction or not now to me I don’t know why you’d want to stick a trouble hook on top when you could do something like why we brought you on to literally build

What I think is the most perfect swimbait on the market yeah no it’s all in the harness itself I mean that design right there is you know a line through swimbait has been around forever and forever and forever top hook swimbaits have been around for decades but never

Have we seen a line through top hook and what I mean by that is it’s not it’s not a treble hook where you know you’re you’re swimming by a tree or limb or what rocks or whatever it is that treble hook it’s got two hooks on the side of

It there where it rolls over and snags on that piece whatever it is um not to mention with a single uh with a single flipping hook or single top hook design I mean once you stick that fish it’s just like a jig I mean that fish is

Caught look fish connects guess what the bait does slides slides right up the line yeah the hook stays pegged all that weight all that leverage gets tossed up the line and that fish is yours anyways if you guys would like to check out any of these baits are link inside the
