Dude this is so informative .. you actually show us enough with the sonar and this is the first time it makes sense to me .. Wheeler your a beast and hope to catch you an DC at a ramp one day ..maybe even on the water .. dreams my guy dreams . Great content

You may not believe this, but I have both baits, and throw them on Jacob Wheeler medium fast rods, on 12lb line. When the fish have lock jaw on my lake (Palestine Tx) I go to tiny, in citrus, to generate a bite. The dt4 is also a great bait, but tiny just seems to work better.

Please keep up these type of vids, as they are informative, and, with your presentation often fun to watch

Thanks Jacob. All good info to store away. The tiny is just more accurate to throw on spinning for me, but each his own. I have about 3 or 4 cranks that get the spinning rod and I just use them more because of less hassle.

[rayvillarreal]

I like both.
I have caught more Bass on on the DT 4 around submerged structure wood and Roch on 14 fluorocarbon.

[Twangtown]

Why do I have this feeling Jacob does these under water shots in the hotel swimming pool? LOL.

That crank looks more like a baby carp than a crawdad! 😂

[brianneff]

We are just getting ready to start our tourney season here in PA ...can't wait to get out there and running these for perspawn. Videos are great.

Great video!!! Just got some OG Tiny's and will be using them soon. I've been using DT's for a while now and love them. Thanks for sharing on how each one works!!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!

[farrzmd]

Og tiny works. Crawdad, shad, and bream. Bank angler, fishing smaller bodies of water and the og always produces. Still trying to catch one on the dt 4.

[steverogers]

Thanks Jacob God Bless you and sure appreciate all you share with us and hope to get to fish somehow someway with you and Ott Defoe someday!

Tiny is one of my confidence baits for sure. He’s a bad little dude. Always have one tied on. The Helsinki color is the heat. Congrats on a great Redcrest.

[mitchfarmer]

Which one is your number 1 Jackleg? You said Tiny is 2. I heard you say in a video you fish the Cliff Banger around brush and DT series in open water.

Caught a couple on a Tiny a couple of weeks ago when the water temp was in the low 40's here in the Midwest (Indianapolis). I also keep DT-6, 10, 16, and 20's as my main crankbaits. Love the vids JW!

[FullTimeFishing]

Great picks Jacob! I’ve been fishing tiny around. I love at dt6 and dt8 a little later in the year. Those river smallies love it!

[rodcashman]

Great break down JW. Thanks for sharing 🎣 👍

[Twangtown]

So do you put #4 Hybrids on the DT-6 and DT-8?

[FullTimeFishing]

I hope everyone reading this catches their pb this spring!

[lansemclain]

I fish the Chick. New to cranking, and every cranking video says you want to bump them off the bottom. I have been cleaning up with a Money Badger 6.25. I have a few of these Tiny OG but I almost never get bottom so are you up shallow or are you targeting suspend fish, are you pausing it or twitching it?

[WildBillHabiki]

I don't know about the tiny but I did buy some OG Slim 6s. Unfortunately the build quality was lacking. I picked up some trash on the bottom (leaves, dead grass) so as I always do I slap the hooks in the water to get the stuff off. To my dismay one of the Slims broke in half. The only time I have ever broken a crankbait is banging it off a motor or something hard like a bridge piling. The fact that slapping the hooks in the water destroyed the thing just was unreal. and disappointing. I swore I would never buy another one. It's weird because I love the DTs and have never had one break the way the Slim did.

[Playaj]

Rocco fits right in with these 2 now. All great baits!
