Fishing EXPERIMENT: LIVE Bait vs. ARTIFICIAL Lures (Creek Crawfish Edition)

Who else has been wading creeks to stay cool this summer?? 🎣🥵

3:24 is a Greenside Darter, they love hiding under rocks. Neat find!

I've had other BPM baits youtube.com/post/UgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZ… before and they've pretty much always came through for me with the suskie smallies here and even with the walleye and pike, but I realized I didn't have an "in-between" pattern so this junebug one fills that role in no problem. it pairs up magnificently with a junebug Zoom Z-craw Jr that was trimmed a couple millimeters before the hook slots and rigged sideways for that fatter panfish side profile while still being a nice'n'compact presentation, a real power-finesse bait. Hell, it was so pretty I even bothered to fotosketch the pic into a watercolor painting image just to show you it's beauty! Even the blades are really well made, sure, they're not of Hildebrandt-level exquisiteness but look at the bead's reflection on the colorado blade, definitely well-made! The only "problem" spot it had was a bald spot in the skirt but it was nothing that I couldn't easily fix with a but of tuggin'n'shiftin' with the strands for a couple of seconds, besides that it is pretty minty!

The OG Lures vs. Bait series is back!! Another awesome video 1rod- stay cool!

I haven’t been out fishing in a while so I watch you to gimme that feeling of happiness for each caught fish

16 min video and it wasn’t even out for 10 mins and people commenting “love the vid” lmao

Love the videos. The small weird looking fish you netted in the beginning is a goby of some sort.

I've fished a river like this with live crawfish, and caught huge smallies every cast. All the searching under rocks paid off!

When he asked “What else can you get from Karl’s?” And the dropped the camera to the rod between his legs 🤣 lmao I was like tf is that?😂

Thank you for all your insight and enthusiasm. Your videos, especially those featuring ohio pond bass fishing helped me to catch my best largemouth to date from a local pond. If I could upload a pic I would, it was a beautiful and fat 6lber I caught on a Berkeley 5” black worm, Ned rig.

It is smart to invest in these kind of experiments to further our knowledge and making fishing better for our future selves.

Awesome video, Mike! I also accidentally caught a catfish while I was bass fishing today (my first flathead! On a swim jig?! 🤔🎣)

Love the video team i love watching your content always happy and upbeat and you always pick the nicest spots to camp love it keep up the great work

Let’s go!! The video content lately has been fire!! Keep it up brother!!

Love all the videos you post! I've learned so much being new to crankbaits, jerk bait and plastics. I took ur advice on using the 3.3 saucy swimmer's for walleye and been killing it. Thank you

Nice you caught my eye with that booger lure.

Nothing like watching 1rod right after goin fishing this morning

Another great video it’s cool how See how Fish reacts to different beats that you use in videos like this Keep it up one rod

1rod you have been a huge inspiration to me as a fisherman, and to us as youtubers. I just want to thank you for all the banger videos and great content! Keep it up man!

“ something was eating it” it think it’s someone 😂 nice video
