Thanks Cap! What type of jig would you recommend to make a 4″ minnow weedless. We fish in an area with a lot of underwater structure and lily pads. Any suggestions?
thank you! i’ll try this!
Great video Chris. Thanks for posting
very well done video – thanks for posting
THANK YOU!!! Subscribed! Soooooooooooooooooooo damned refreshing to see some real and useful information detailing so many different ways to rig soft baits without all the bias hype from pros trying to push a new lure and setup…or worse having to listen to 10 minutes of their fishing stories and opinions to get one second of valid info. I’ve fished for 40 years and I learned many new things from your video…. Thanks again!
I have caught alot of big bass using that very tick no weight just running it in a twitch and swimming motion
could you tell me how to rig a calamar squid,9 inch for saltwater please
Great explanation for a dyslexic guy like me. Thanks.
Do you have any tips for wading, I’ve been wading and I haven’t had any success
Hi Cap’n,
Love your video tutorial! You make it look so easy to rig the soft plastics.. but I have a lot of trouble bending them enough to get the hook to come through at the right spot on its back… and as a result the hook ends up deeply buried in the soft plastic. Don’t know if that makes sense to you… but do you have any tips to help?
Thanks 🙂
thanks for the info. I’ve been fishing the flats alot from my kayak. been quite successful with rat l trap and mr17. but the grass is everywhere now. been told using a weedless soft plastic is the way to go. Haven’t had much luck so I usually put it down quickly. going out today with nothing but soft plastics. I’m going to force myself to learn it
Thank you! This video is extremely helpful.
What is the name and model of the hook with a pin and weight on the shank? Thanks! Loved the video!
Perfect explanation. That’s what I was looking for, thank you Cap.
That was a great video, I love the explanation you gave and how perfectly you demonstrated what you were doing step by step! Thank you this is really going to help me out!
great video
Love the video> Im new to fishing and I moved to a home on a small shallow canal in Coral Springs florida. Im wondering what fish and in the canal and if your not sure what type of bait would you suggest?
Seriously thanks for making these videos.
Thank you for your video. Very helpful!
I added it to the site. Thanks again!
We made a new site, can we use this video on it? Full credit to you of course! We will also put a direct link to your channel & website. Thanks. It would go in our video section under fishing tips.
What size hook are you using a 3 or 5?
What is the best brand of hook and size for the hot head and 4inch jerk bait because I am getting a lot of strikes but no hook ups
Excellent tutorial and recommendation cheers chris.
