And that is my go to set up. You should've kept it secret for us older guys.

Thanks Randy. I really enjoy your recent series on soft plastics and rigging. Can never seem to get enough of that.

Thanks Randy. As many bass as I caught off a tiny split-shot rig with a 4” finesse worm, I’m surprised that I never tried this. That’s why I love your channel. The things you’ve learned over your lifetime of bass fishing help me get outside my own box, so to speak. Great to see Elijah again. 😊👍🏼

On some of the Arkansas Highland impoundments like Norfork and Bull Shoals, texas rig with a heavy split shot 18-24" above a finesse worm makes a great finesse Carolina rig and very effective as well.

Great video!! Another thing everyone’s forgotten about that I do really good with is adding the bead. The added faint sound the bead gives off just helps in most situations for me.

Thanks Randy, your tips and tricks are very much appreciated. 👍🏻

Have really enjoyed the recent rigging plastics series. Good stuff.

Great video and a Texas rigged worm is what I grew up using all the time, I used a 1/8 sinker and mostly used a grape or purple worm and did fairly well with it just casting it out and back in. One lake that I fished the bass loved a grape worm with a white tail, they tore these up!!! Thank Randy!!

Congrats on the 50,000 subscribers. You do a great job and we appreciate your coaching. Happy New Year to you and your family. The 4" worm has worked well for me on a jig. I look forward to using the 1/0 hook you recommended.

Exactly the video I was looking for! Thanks Mr. Randy.

Great info, thank you for all your help in the sport of fishing. Found your channel through Mercer podcast.

Love these little tips...Keep em coming

You’re right on point about the finesse trig, makes me realizes it now, I was catching more with light weight trig, and lately I upsizes my weight and I haven’t fought as much as before

Thanks for that tip!!!👊🏻 Had much success on skin hooking as I learned it from one of your videos about a year ago. Stay Safe & God Bless!!!

I’d love a video on lure weight vs the weight listed on rods and how they effect each other. Does it matter if you throw a 1 oz weight on a rod that has 5/8 max printed on it? What if you go over or under weight? All the juice on it please

My medium fast rod rated for a “max” of 1/2oz i throw a 5/8 topwater and a 15/16 swimbait

I’ll second that, great idea. Maybe even 2 separate videos. Is the rod weight affected differently with a heavy/light bottom contact bait vs a moving bait?

My number 1 setup for catching bass anywhere in the country is a Junebug Finesse worm Texas rigged on a 1/0 offset worm hook weightless with 4lb fluoro and an UL rod. Works in almost any bank fishing situation! Definitely am going to try the side hooked straight shank though, to see if the hookup ratio is better for me

Thanks for the helpful tips

Randy needs to have a jar for all these tips! Great stuff!

50,000 subscribers, congratulations 🎊 ! THANKS FOR YOUR TIPS !

Was always my most productive setup when camping. I bank fished the entire time and always had one rigged up. My favorite was just a pumkinseed centipede. I have caught a ton on that thing. loved how i could work it through grass over laydowns and out of branches lol.

I appreciate your tips..Happy New Year

I've been dead sticking a weightless zoom 4 inch finesse worm down here in Florida! It has been working great! I have been using a 1/0 gamakatsu straight shank. It's my go to before a cold front hits. Then I switch to a ned craw or punching during a cold front.

Great video Randy

Great info

Awesome video 😊

Thanks 🙏🏻

Will have to admit the shaky head has made me forget to finesse Texas rig fish. It’s a great tool to get good bites!!!!!

Congrats on 50!👍

When I was a kid I learned how to worm fish with a 4 inch Manns jelly worm with a 1/16 ounce bullet weight on spinning tackle. Gets lots of bites for sure. Good video.

I use an offset worm hook 1/0 or 2/0 for zoom finesse worm tx rig. It works great. I haven’t used straight shank at all for tx rigs and have never rigged point off to the side like that Randy. I go through the center of worm and skin hook it so hook point is ready to penetrate even with light line and spinning tackle. I generally use casting tackle for tx rigs though and 12 lb line. I like the 1/8 oz and 3/16 oz weights as well. Great video. I think the zoom finesse worm is the best worm on the market and the best bang for your buck.

I plan on trying the skin hooked worm using a 2/0 offset worm hook and a 6” zoom finesse worm with a 3/16 oz bullet weight pegged. Using my standard 15 lbs clear mono casting rig, it should be a good lure to attack shallow cover and lilly pads. Good luck.

Oh man!...this is some top secret stuff! I like that Zoom worm too and the 4" Charlie Brewer slider worms for sure.

He is just amazing !!!Always giving us his tricks and tips!!!Speaks very well and very understandable..He’s my utube fishing uncle he just doesn’t know it lol

Man that’s slick thanks man

Congrats on 50k plus subscribers.

Anytime I'm fishing around grass in the summer I use the 5 inch zoom finesse worm in watermelon red flake 8th ounce sinker not pegged. First time I used this setup was in Florida caught over 50 bass in 6 hours.

I like the zoom finesse worm a lot. It’s one of those ace in the hole baits. Put it on a shaky head,Texas rig,dropshot,Ect. I like the junebug,watermelon candy,and the green pumpkin the best.

Texas rig will always be my “go to”. I’ve caught most of my fish on TX rig

Loving the hat!!!🤓

A 4" Meathead Texas rigged and dragged across a gravel-small rock bottom in 7 to 15' of water gets them everytime in the Sierra foothill reservoirs. I jig through the big rocks also. Deadly!

Shakey heading it here. 🤘

Like all of your videos, and was wondering if you still use stud frys

sounds good

I will sometimes texas rig a roboworm with a 1/0. My buddy asked “what are you doing, thats a dropshot bait” and I just laughed at him as I caught tons of fish.

Like Frisk I like fishing this rig weightless with light wind. It's one way I can come in behind another & catch what the couldn't.

Since you have shown the correct TX rig hook. Can you do a series on the type, color and size of plastic to use when and the times it doesn’t matter bc it’s a reaction bit. The weigh used depending on the cover and if it is pigged or free.

Thanks Randy! Do you ever peg your weight with this setup?

I used “Free Rig” it’s basically the almost the same thing as the Texas Rig, but instead of using a traditional bullet weight you’ll use a close-eye drop-shot weight

they had those type worms in Florida in 1975 when I was a kid one of my friend's Dad had his own molds and would make worms at night and weekends. He had the first curly tail worms. We would clean the melting pots, burned the heck out of my fingers pulling plastic out that we thought was cooled enough.

Great vid! What G hook is this. I can't seem to find it. Thanks! Toney

Good stuff do you use is at Stockton much thanks for your videos

You mentioned putting fluorocarbon line on wet. Could you do a video on that?

Do you test your weights and lures for weigh ? I have and I have a cheep scale but have noticed a difference in the weights ,so my second question if you time is it important to know it’s a 1/16 to 1/8 .I’m not being picky just really curious,a gain thank you for all your information.

Still pour a lot of small worms modified Carolina rig small slip sinker 15” leader floating worm 4-6 # ya

Why not an offset round bend hook for the 4" finesse worm? Guessing you don't like as much but could you share thoughts.

Still use it that way And c-rig too

I've been using whacky rigs this year I've caught 20 fish this year so far

How do you store your soft plastic stick baits? Thanks!

Randy, do you tie a snell knot on that flipping hook ?

Randy, I would love to hear your thoughts about the impact of the dissolved oxygen levels on fishing and on your fishing strategies. I have an unsubstantiated suspicion that the concentration of oxygen in the water on Table Rock Lake has declined over time, resulting in a dramatic impact on the fishing. We've actively fished the lake for over 30 years, and the fishing decline has been striking. For example, the shallow bite this past year virtually disappeared after mid-spring. We also no longer see the groups of bass cruising the shoreline like in the past. We are also seeing more gar than we did just a few years ago. The number of shallow blue gill and sunfish are also way down. I concur that over-use of the lake, including the devastating shoreline impact caused by wake boats, could be a source of the decline. However, I'm curious if you have a view about the oxygen levels in the water. This might be an interesting topic for one of your videos. Thanks for all you do with this channel.

I have a friend that has owned a lake house for about 20 years and their lot is on the main channel. Previously they had to do some repair work on their riprap shoreline every 3-5 years but now due to wake boats they are having to repair every year. It’s a private lake so I think they are hopeful wake boats will be banned, if not they’ll probably have to put up a concrete wall.

Congratulations on 50,000 as I see it is now listed at 50.1K.

What knots do you tie with what type of hook and why?

Knocking them out thus Randy!!

Texas rig is king in South Louisiana! Throwing an open hook will get you snagged on trash almost immediately anywhere you fish for bass.

Woo Daves caught a lot of fish on that setup ! Love the old school techniques & lures 👍

Split Shot or Mojo?

I Texas rig mine

Use on split shot, flat bottom let’s worm glide

I see you change your formate. I find that you don't list the products you use that would be a help. Like the videos followed you for years bass masters trail 💯💯💯💯👍🏽

How come that 4" worm looks like its more like 6" long?

The big mistake with finesse worms is usually throwing them at all. lol

Texas rig only way I fishing worm

I was hoping you could make some more videos on pork trailers and different ways to fish a pork frog. Love the videos thanks!!

Randy, I'm looking forward to the day you run out of tackle tricks and every day is Mental Monday lol

When are we going to see your jig?? It's killing me.

I felt I had to say this.. I used to really enjoy your content.. but your tone seems to have changed. Everything is mistake this mistake that.. couldn't you just say.. "here's a better way".. or something. You should know fishing is not about absolutes... and it comes off like everyone is making mistakes but you.. is that true ?

Do 90%, 95%, or 99% of anglers make this mistake? JK! Your titles are a bit too click-bait cheezy IMO. I do appreciate your advice.
