hey check out my lake reelfoot video. we caught 22 bass just killed em. alot of 4-6 lb'ers.

I guess the Tiny Ika was a big hit with alot if guys before Yamamoto stopped producing it. Alot of my buddy's make theirs own Tiny Ikas. Backwards? Thats the way I rig it. I thought that was the correct way... I'm an Ika newbee though. Lol Good video Ed 👍

Thanks I still have a few myself. Ed

You know I have not been doing well this spring with the usual wacky Senk, tube, jig/craw, etc.. Went through some old boxes of lures and came across some old packs of Fat Ikas. Used to love them and not sure why I stopped. Tried them out and wow did they impress. I can skip it under the lowest dock. Ordered plenty more. My best tips is rig backwards with an unweighted 4/0 Owner twistlock hook. Turn bait 90* (point end) and re-rig if it gets warn out

I take a 2/0 wacky hook and rig it skirt side up also. The hook is not weedless but it works well. I bounce it off the bottom usually getting hit on the fall.

Great video can you follow up with how you tie it to your line, do you use a leader or straight on to the line pretty much the whole setup I'm a new to the fishing world thank you again great videos keep up the work

@BassfishingEd

I tie the hook straight to the line, you want to let the weight of the bait and hook be your only weight. It will cast great. Make sure you watch your line it will get thumped or swim off

Try rigging it with a ringed EWG hook in 4/0 or 5/0

I tried the Fat Ika for the first time this weekend and within 10 minutes landed a 3.5lb, 19" large mouth. But I am curious about your comment where you say you colored the tinsel? Can you explain that?

I dip them in lure dye to help mimic the forage

How is the durability after a catch? Better or worse than senko?

Ed!!! What's wrong with you? You don't know how to make YT fishing videos!!! You're supposed to have all kinds of loud music and special effects!!! That way everyone knows you're a hot stick bass buster!! LOL!! I just discovered your channel today, so I liked and described. Thank you for an informative no nonsense video! Tight lines!

Have you ever tried rigging it with a screw lock hook?

@BassfishingEd

5 жыл бұрын

Yes, that's the first way I used to rig it. I like the Owner heavy wire screw lock it sinks faster.

Hi, Ed. I'm from Los Angeles. Hit me up on FB or IG@Bassmaster Ice. I love throwing the Ika. My best day fishing was catching two four pounders back to back at Lake Lopez. As far as improving on fishing the Ika, Use an Owner 5/0 Widegap hook which will give that Ika more space to bend into when that bass gets a grip.
