I appreciate you going over some basic rigs and techniques. I watch guys that tell you they're fishing a certain rig, but they never tell you how to set it up and fish it. Thanks Bro.

Bro - awesome video. I typically fast forward to most videos but yours was spot on. Will be at Bartlett very soon....thanks for the tips.

Nice vid and a great help for starters like me. Great job!

Thank you for the tips! Love you dude

Thanks for the video, Bartlett Lake looks awesome right now.. Also, thanks for the instruction on different rigs.

@desertbassin

For smaller finesse worms I like to run the hook through the worm itself. However with larger worms like a senko, the o ring is a must have. If you run the hook through the worm without the o ring and make a strong cast there’s a good chance that the weight of the worm will rip away from the hook and cause you to cast your bait into oblivion. Hope this helps thanks for watching man 💪🏼

On a drop shot. After knot is done run your line through the hook hole down toward the weight and it will keep your hook straight and stout, just my opinion....

Hey man i dont have a boat and i usally fish canals where can i catch bass

I've never seen or fished Bartlett when its like this :(

correction: your rigging is awesome go dogs

just curious why you leave your hook exposed and dont hide it on the dropshot like you do with a T-rig worm, ive always tried to hide my hook on the dropshot.

@desertbassin

3 жыл бұрын

Cole Altherr it depends. I do throw it weedless at times just varies on the situation. Open water with rock or fishing deep water I’m always throwing an exposed hook. You’re getting the best hook up ratio with your hook exposed and in deep water the hook will penetrate better. Around cover like trees bushes grass etc. I think a weedless setup goes a long way. Sometimes you have to be getting in the cover to get those bites meaning you’re probably going to get snagged with an exposed hook. Hook up ratio isn’t as good so you have to be aware of that in deep water but allows you to get in the cover where the fish are. A lot of it is personal preference to. You want to fish confidently at all times! Thanks for checking out the video 🤙🏼

Come back! We need more vids!

Never seen the o-ring deal for a whacky rig, seems like a lot of extra work. Everyone I've fished with up in Minnesota just hooks through the worm. Saves an extra step and don't need any one-trick tools in the tackle box.

@desertbassin

3 жыл бұрын

You can hook it through the worm it works with lighter baits. I like the o ring because it helps my hook to land ratio with more hook exposed also I can give it a full cast and not worry about the worm ripping off

@corkyvanderhaven3391

2 жыл бұрын

@@desertbassin additional hook up ratio… They say you can double o ring, kinda crisscross over each other. And run hook between both then keeping the hook facing away from worm. Or not parallel with worm /|\. The middle straight line is your hook. The side lines are your o ring crisscrossing. Try it out 🌵🧀🐠

@H28sailor

The O-ring method allows you to use less bait. It really keeps your bait from being pulled off the hook!
