hi everybody Angelo Viola from the
0:01
fishing Canada show along with my
0:03
co-host Peter Bowman today we want to
0:05
talk to you about hard baits and in
0:07
particular Yuri's 3db Series in our
0:10
opinion the very best freshwater baits
0:13
ever made first thing you're going to
0:14
notice is the legendary Japanese quality
0:16
and detail they put into every single
0:18
bait they make next is the number of
0:21
styles and colors honestly it's
0:23
mindboggling it truly is but where they
0:26
really shine no pun intended is in their
0:29
patented in internal 3D prism finishes
0:31
along with yui's wave motion technology
0:34
add all of these factors together and
0:36
you see why it's the best priced
0:38
Japanese fishing lure in the business
0:41
and something that is a real game
0:43
changer now although the 3db lineup was
0:45
created primarily for bass fishing we've
0:47
had awesome success on other species as
0:49
well northern pike walleye and stripers
0:52
to name a few which we'll get into in a
0:53
bit but let's start with both large Mo
0:55
and one of our favorites small Mo when
0:58
talking Bass yzui hit the nail directly
1:01
on the head with the 3db series we've
1:03
had some outstanding results on smallies
1:05
with a variety of bait Styles a couple
1:08
of our favorites for these spicy
1:09
Critters are the 3db 1.5 Square Bell and
1:13
the 3db 1.5 Mr both shallow and medium
1:17
running crankbaits of course you can't
1:19
forget one of the absolute best ways of
1:20
targeting smallies and that's with jerk
1:22
baits the 3db 110 and 110 deep are two
1:26
of the best in the business if there's
1:27
an aggressive small moth anywhere near
1:29
these baits chances are you're going to
1:31
catch it top water fishing is still one
1:34
of the most underutilized Smallmouth
1:36
tactics yet it continues to be so
1:39
productive for us yui's 3db Series has a
1:43
plethora of fantastic SMY top water
1:45
baits and finally for our cat of the bag
1:48
secret SMY weapon the 3db twitch bait
1:51
and the 4 and 38 in 1 o size this is a
1:54
big bait that may look out of place for
1:56
big small M bass however when big
1:59
smallies are feeding on open water bait
2:01
fish this lure is the bomb it casts for
2:04
miles and is irresistible to any fish
2:06
within Striking Distance now we took a
2:09
few of these babies up north and
2:10
proceeded to lay up beating on a pack of
2:13
belligerent Cisco munching
2:19
smalles I was sitting still
2:22
dude it was sitting still oh that was
2:25
the best let me see there's got to be
2:27
another one there's got there was a
2:28

2:32
priceless look look at is that my Fisher

3:58
get too damaged up yeah
4:06
yeah oh here you go buddy woo that's a
4:10
fitting end to an incredible
4:13
day there's probably about 20 of these
4:16
that were smashing into bait we just saw
4:18
I just saw big you could see it still
4:20
see a big rise over there insane oh my
4:23
God is that show that lip to the to the
4:25
camera that fish has been caught before
4:27
he's been caught and healed yep you can
4:29
see that got him release at its best at
4:31
it best let's put them back to the same
4:34
brother here we go okay we
4:41
go of course we've also had a bunch of
4:43
fun on some Northern strain larg M we
4:45
can 100% see why the 3db line was
4:49
created but the 3db series doesn't stop
4:52
there how about giant northern pike for
4:55
instance on a pass trip into the
4:57
northern Rocky Mountains of British
4:58
Columbia we quickly figured out that the
5:01
local Posta Pike wanted an erratic stop
5:04
and go retrieve out came the 3db 110
5:07
jerk baits since the conditions were
5:09
cloudy and overcast we decided on the
5:11
prism gold black color and man what a
5:14
choice it was as you can see the front
5:16
hooks are baits are missing and that's
5:18
by Design when using heavy fluorocarbon
5:20
or wire leaders which we always use when
5:22
pike fishing by the way a couple of
5:24
things will usually happen for one thing
5:27
the leaders can tangle up in that front
5:29
hook during the cast or when retrieving
5:31
the bait it's just the nature of the
5:33
Beast long heavy leaders tend to get
5:36
tangled secondly since wire leaders or
5:39
Snaps are heavy they tend to make lure
5:41
Zink this too is a scenario where the
5:43
leader can tangle up in that front
5:45
treble hook the easy fix is to
5:48
temporarily remove the front hook the
5:50
bait still works fine and you'll
5:52
ultimately spend more time
5:55
fishing if you're one of those Anglers
5:57
who thinks that wal is strictly a live
5:59
bait speci species think again we've
6:01
caught numerous Walley by intentionally
6:03
throwing hard baits as well as
6:04
incidental catches when fishing for
6:06
other species check out this open water
6:08
suspended walleye that was feeding on a
6:10
school of Cisco with the erratic action
6:13
and perfect size of the 3db twitch bait
6:18
resist we're not done yet as we've saved
6:20
the craziest for last on a recent trip
6:22
to Canada's East Coast we hit the fall
6:24
stripe bass run at the perfect time the
6:27
Miram mishy River in New Brunswick was
6:29
loed with stripers again the 3db twitch
6:33
bait came through in a big way and was a
6:35
great lure to find actively feeding fish
6:38
that side to side walk the dog
6:40
underwater action was killer not to be
6:43
oddone however it was the 1 oz 5 and 38
6:46
in 3db pencil popper that gave us some
6:48
of the best top water action we've ever
6:50
recorded with the water temperatures
6:52
below 50° fahit a top water presentation
6:55
was the last thing we guessed would work
6:57
but with that said it's always worth a a
7:02
work you know every angler Waits For
7:05
This Moment top water fishing on its own
7:07
is fantastic but when you get this kind
7:09
of action let me I've got one or two or
7:12
three big fish that are fighting to
7:14
claim this this top water bait for their
7:16
own I've never had so much fun not
7:18
catching a fish in my life just watching
7:21
them trying to hit it what was that
7:23
that's him buddy I got him I got him
7:30
we'll move back for you we may have to
7:33
uh chase this guy a little bit I got a
7:39
huge I think he's a good fish we're
7:42
going towards him now stay on him stay
7:45
reeling oh my just a little bit of ahead
7:48
I don't want to do a tail first will y
7:50
there you go you got we got
7:53
it I told you it was a big fish I told
7:57
you that was a big fish oh
8:00
they totally fool you in the water I'm
8:02
telling you cuz look at the size of this
8:03
striper that's massive buddy look at the
8:11
striper top water crazy top water like
8:14
like we've never seen
8:18
before you got him you got he's going a
8:24
on well I'm got to go to school today
8:27
backpack let me got him straight put
8:29
your hand underneath of there you
8:33
amazing uh that was worth the 15 or 20
8:36
minutes I spent on that fish trying to
8:38
get him to hit okay bud you're going
8:48
woo you have to realize here too that
8:51
these baits have been modified with a
8:53
much different hook Than The stocki
8:55
Trebles the local laws here tell us that
8:58
only single B hooks can be used so we
9:01
decided to upssize that hook which
9:03
ultimately threw off the balance of our
9:05
pencil poppers and they still work great
9:08
had we been using the factory hooks it
9:10
would have been even crazier yui's 3db
9:13
line of Base was designed with bass in
9:15
mind and they certainly passed that test
9:17
with flying colors however do not
9:20
underestimate them for pretty much any
9:23
other gamefish species on the planet to
9:26
them this is food real good food
