It's time for some new lure videos, and its time to make watching them easier. You're going to see a new icon in the review pages for video that looks like this:

That's your link to watch the video if there's one available.

Here's some fresh new videos for your viewing pleasure.

Rob That was awsome. I think I will get a Sebile for Calicos and cudda just like you said. I think they will get bit good. I also have never seen the Diawa bait swim before. It looked pretty good. I could see it as a night bait.
Thanks for those vdeos very profesional

Rob, the first nate you threw was that a slow sink?

And are you happy with the light trout color?

Great videos Rob!

With the amount of swimbaits on the market and everything going to online ordering, reviews like this are priceless. Whoever did the camera work also did an amazing job. Up close on the action and detail. Very impressive. Keep up the good work.

My wife Summer did the filming. She did a great job :) With the pool at the house all I need to do now is find more time to set up and do the videos. This was a good start.

nicco/Shane, I'll talk to Nate about the weighting on the 11" Nate's Baits trouts. Or maybe he will just answer directly here. Either way, I'll get you the info.

Yeah, thanks man!!! For me, there's nothing worse than dropping a weeks worth of food money on a swimbait and then testing it out and being dissapointed in the action....Really appreciate it!!!

Thank you for the excellent videos, Rob! It is awfully nice being able to see how a bait performs first hand before purchasing it.

Great work!

Awesome work Rob; keep it up! Thanks for taking the time to do those vids; as well as the ones in the future. However, I think you just cost me some money; which isn't exactly a good thing:)~! LOL

My favorite part f the videos is when you measure them with a ruler :+

Seriously, awesome videos.

That was especially for you John :9 It didn't come out that great in the video because the ruler is hard to see. Gotta work on that.

You are really making it hard for me to maintain my minimalist swimbait philosophy. Now I really want a Mattlures Hard Gill, Natesbait Trout and a CL8 Bait. I might just have to give my wife your e-mail address. That way, when I tell her it is your fault I dropped a couple hundred dollars on swimbaits she knows who to come after.

Rob,

Thanks for taking the time to shoot those videos they look great, and provide some great insight on all aspects of the baits you shot footage of.

To answer the questions posed about the 11" Nate Bait trouts; the first one shown is the slow sink and the second one was a custom sink rate between the slow and fast sink baits (something I have been working on but do not have as part of my current line up) Hopefully that helps answer the previous questions if there are any more please feel free to ask.

Thanks again for the footage, after seeing the vids I'm definitely going to have to pick up a Mattlures hard gill and Cl8bait asap to have for ice out in my area.

Because of you ROB! I just got my 2 Sebiles in the mail a 165 Natural Shiner, nice Anchovy imitation, god the Calicos are going to love this....and I got another one in the size of 95 Blue Althea this one looks dead on as a Sardine....
I was told by the seller that the slow sinking and the sinking are now one and the same....

thank :+

Rob i really liked the swimbait videos they were all really informative, i especially liked the part when you threw the cl8 bait on the concrete that was awesome! Keep up the good work!

Right on. You told me it stood up well to being cast against stuff so I figured why not try :)

I finally had time to go through and watch all your videos. Great work Rob. I have to admit of all the baits and based on just watching a video, not seeing it first hand. The cl8bait looked the best in the water IMO.
