I'm 62 now. I really love watching this young man do his thing. He's a good quality human being WHO CATCHES FISH!

Free rig made by Korean pro bass angler Sunpil Kim and he introduce it in 2006 KSA League. After few years Japanese anglers import it and start use 'free rig'. 'Free rig' is super popular ( No.1 ) rig in Korea and its very effective for any body of water like 'Texas rig'. When it compare to free rig & Texas rig, free rig can make more re-act motions.

Awesome introduction vid for free rig! Only one thing to correct is that it was made/developed in S.Korea but introduced to the US market and tournaments by the Japanese pros. Ppl in Korea use free rig all the time because of that. We use texas rig to punch through cover but to read the bottom structures and stuff we always use free rig. Some pros in Korea points out that a lot of beginners are usung free rig too much, like an 1/8oz free rig on a spinning reel, a 1/4oz free rig on a M baitcating setup, and 3/8~1/2oz free rig on a MH baitcasting setup. Haha There is a setup+technique call the unbalanced free rig in Korea. It's a bit of a different setup, kinda like a ned rig of a free rig version, but the action of the lure is a lot different. This was also developed by a Korean pro. It's especially good when bass don't bite a regular 4~5 inch bait, and a ned rig is snagging too much. Plus you don't have to carry ned jigheads. We are using free rig on sea fishing also. For flounders, seabass and rock fish, when they are not eating jighead+soft plastics or are located around rocks and stuff, free rig is definitely better than jigheads.

Dude, i love your videos, i learn so much thank you!

I'm a Carolina rigger myself, i got to try this now. Sounds perfect. Thank you!

Definitely better than all those other rigs, but each is needed under different circumstances

Great location for filming. That lake looks amazing!

Definitely gotta try it 🎣

I can see the success improving with using braid for its sensitivity along with a sensative rod. Here in South Africa in my home province we a lot of grass in our dams and fish weedless texas rigs( mostly unweighted) to prevent snags. I will try this rig next weekend for sure. Great video and channel! Peace.

Banger video as always bro

Wish I could get out & hit the lake with you... Definitely enjoy the content.

Deadly rig the old free rig french fry combo 🤙

First thing I noticed right away was you using a left hand retrieve! 😂 But it was short lived. Lol Used spinner reels forever, bought me a baitcaster this winter and learned on that and stuck with it. Now it’s just second nature. Love your videos! I will try this on my next day off in a couple days! 🤞🏻

I've done this technique using a Yamamoto floating worm. Works pretty well. Best so far is a 4.2 pound in a pond.

Awesome video man! Your master classes have absolutely been coming in clutch for me! I actually have started to use this technique and it is extremely effective! This deserves a shout out on my channel! Thanks man! 🎣 🔥 👀

Been texas rigging and drop shotting for years! I can def see the benefits to this rig! You could even peg the weight in certain cicumstances and it would be productive. That KVD fry bait reminds me of the old Riverside floating air fry. Still a killer bait if you can find a pack. Been discontinued for years. Thanks for sharing this rig! I will give it a go!

I'm with you. I'm a little strange in this aspect. If I'm fishing a spinning outfit, I'm reeling with my left hand. If I'm using casting gear I'm reeling with my right hand unless I'm pitching.

I did yesterday. Was real tough. You either land on the mega load or your don’t. I’m gonna wait a bit to go back out when the Shad spawn is going better

I've been trying this rig out a bit lately. No luck yet. My experience has been that it lacks the sensitivity of the Carolina rig and the Texas rig. I think this might be due to the fact that the weight is being "muffled" by the soft plastic when dragged. When dragged, the weight is covered by the soft plastic, hence the "muffling". Not giving up yet. I think I need a more sensitive rod, and I need to hop more than drag.

@davidfelton3084

2 ай бұрын

I think you're right about the technique part. In all the videos I've watched, it's all about getting the weight separated from the bait so it can flutter down behind it (hence the wider bait recommendations). Hop it and drop your rod tip to give the weight slack to fall faster to the bottom and see how that works.

Id expect a rage craw to do well on this rig too, im going to try it out here in a hour or two. I dont have any other flat/wide soft plastics at the moment.

I unknowingly tried the free rig, like, 10 years ago because I ran out of bullet weights. I thought it looked goofy but I caught fish. I've never used it again.

I have been using the free rig for about 2 years now. I have not thrown a texas rig since then. For me I have learned a few tricks that will separate myself from those who do use it. I'll just say this, dont fish the lure, fish the weight. Biggest fish I caught on this style so far is a 6.37 largemouth on a 7 in worm.

You definitely have the right sinker. You need to add bobber stop after sinker however as this will protect knot and protect your expensive DAN sinker. I like straight shank hook with keeper best for this technique. Check out my tips sometime. Keep up great work. Scott YankeeLipper Fishing. 😁

I don’t understand the comparisons to the dropshot or the Carolina rig. The Texas rig sure, they’re very similar but compared to those other presentations it only has as much in common as the Texas rig.

@TylersReelFishing

It trails behind the weight like a Carolina rig, and when the weight is on the bottom for a split second it is in drop shot position. Just let me have a cool into 😂

So basically set the hook like a drop shot.

I feel like an unpegged Texas rig does the same thing… idk

Just as nice on a cheap one

Interesting rig but I see the "separation between the weight and bait" as creating slack line which hinders bite detection. The weight and bait hit the water, the weight sinks along your line to the bottom while the bait slowly falls creating more and more slack as it sinks. From your rod tip to the bait there's a big V with a ton of slack between the weight and the bait. Any bite you feel is after the fish has the bait, swims, and takes up the slack in your line, hence the "light bite" here. The slack gives the fish plenty of time to spit the bait out before you can set the hook. The term controlled slacklining describes what you do with a t-rig, jig, etc. and you can't do this with this rig.

I will stick to my texas rig with a weight.In heavy cover the free rig weight will not come through like the Texas rig
