My opinion on rod selection with the bladed jig is the medium power, they load up better and still have the bone to set the hook hard!

Nice vid! 3 excellent choices no matter where!

Good Job Mike ... Ready for Chatter Baits soon ... but the 5" Senko Texas Rig is killin it for me!!

I use a rusty daredevil. Works every time.

Just found your channel. You’ve got yourself a new subscriber from Texas. I have a suggestion that works well with a jig. Netbait baby paca craw. It has a tube body with a solid head. Find a snug fitting glass rattle and insert into tube section. Oh and hang on! I’ve caught some real Texas monsters on this setup! Best of luck

I've caught hundreds of Smallmouth in this lake, the opposite side of that point your on has a huge sunken maze of dock cribs that holds everything species that lake has to offer, good fishin to you.

thanks🎣🎣

First!! I love the pit boss. I usually use some kind of craw trailer. I think strike king. If I’m bouncing bottom it’s a football head or at least a jig that stands up. For color I like peanut butter and jelly, black and blue mixed with a little purple and green pumpkin mixed with any color. Always 50lb braid and I like a heavy power with a fast tip. Got to be able to feel that thud!!

801 Subscribers now. Interesting video. I left the land of snow and ice (Illinois) a few years ago. I'm in Florida now and we have some toothy critters here too.

Whoooohoooo!!!

Thank you for the tip

Congrats!

Subscribe and nice videos

Can not see the wire!

I have all the material I'll start making today

I'll be interested to hear how your hook up/landing ratio is with the medium action rod for bladed jigs. I've tried a medium in the past and lost a lot of fish on the way back to the boat. If you have an extra rod, try rigging up a swim jig as an alternative to the bladed jig. It's a more subtle presentation and comes through the weeds a bit better. You could still use the Powerstinger as your trailer. I've had days already this spring where the swim jig out fished the bladed jig 10:1. I always have both tied on.

What lake are you at here?

Great tips Mike. Looking forward to seeing how that new combo works this year!

They do the thing!! 🎣

Love this vid... as haven't tried Chatter baits yet... do you use a leader? Do the Pike love these as well?

I fish the river quite often a leader can make a big difference between landing a fish or losing your lure

nice video but why do you cut tail off instead of keeping it attached for a handle to skin it...

Great video! I have seen other videos of guys making titanium leaders but not using crimping sleeves. The crimping sleeves will prevent from getting poked from the tag ends.

Always great content - thanks!

Great vid with good detail & directions. Thanks!

Looks easy enough, thanks

I'll be buying some leaders even if I don't win. These look amazing and have the FisherMN stamp of approval, too. It's all I need to see!

Hi Paul. Paul is a good friend and loyal customer of mine. I can't wait until we can spend time on the water.

These leaders would work great for my Canada trip coming up. Can’t wait to catch some northerns!

Wow nice catch!

I use seagar 50 pound blue label leader line, it matches the diameter of my 96 pound titanium wire so I can use the same crimp sleeves for both materials.

The pike are insane so far this season. Caught more pike than bass. Luckily I haven’t lost a chatter bait yet. I definitely have to get my hands on a few of Paul’s leaders.

Fantastic Video!! Really appreciated the lessons! I mainly use fluorocarbon leaders and some wire ones. Never even thought to make them ones self. Great Idea. Good luck guys on summer fishing and thanks again! ><>

I was fishing here in Minnesota last week and the northerns were voracious! Could have used a few leaders. Too bad we were after walleye and crappie :) Congrats on (almost) 800 subscribers!

I think I might have to try this looks like a fun little hobbie keep up the great videos

Paul did a great job showing and explaining each step in the process and made it look really easy. But it’s nice you can also buy them if you’re not inclined to make them yourself.

I can testify to the quality of Paul’s leaders. I used them all last summer and on all of my tip ups ice fishing for pike. Awesome quality and craftsmanship.

I fish the river also and those leaders would be nice to use!

No to your favorite lake for openers? lol

You ever use the Poppin Pad Crasher? That's my favorite frog.

Midway USA has the pad crashes on sale right now for $5.58 each. True story, when they quit producing the tournament frog I lost interest in frog fishing.

Good vid Mike! I’m not giving up on the toad thumper yet but the pad crasher is the go to!!

🎉I enjoy watching you fish and all the wisdom you share about fishing, thx!

Love MN opening day. I went out this year and caught the trifecta: bass, northern, and walleye.

I’ve only been out twice on the kayak in central IL this year. Yet to catch anything. Hopefully I can get out next weekend! Will be heading up through MN to Canada with my Dad and cousins in June to fish northern pike and lake trout. Never caught either so it’s bound to be a good time! Thanks for the vid!

Great day!! 🎣

Hi there! I recently moved to the Isanti-Cambridge area and hope to meet you on the river this coming summer!!

Rum River!!
