I'm new to Bass fishing but I feel more confident now because this dude is a GREAT teacher,I'm REALLY glad I subscribed and liked his videos...HE'S GOOD!!!!!
A relaxed approach of presenting information, more like a conversation with the viewer which is easy to listen to and digest. I look forward to more content from you.
So glad to learn what actually learn how to fish this rig........ I'm one of those guys who has all kinds of worm and hooks in the bottom of his fish boxes only never to use them. But had to have them like everyone else has one.... Now I thiink I might open the packages and use what I learned today. Thank You... and I just did Subscribed....
William, thanks for joining me on the channel! I love hearing things like this, and I hope that you do dust off your plastics and put them to good use with a Texas Rig! Let me know what kind of success you experience.
Thank you for taking the time to explain and demonstrate almost everything on this topic. The one thing you didn't seem to mention is when and why you were reeling in slack on the line. Might be common knowledge but you never know when an extra bit of information will help out a viewer like me. Definitely a subscriber now and can't wait to watch your other videos because now I know they are actual how to videos and not like videos on other channels that show you fishing without explaining any of it. Much appreciated!
Thanks Sonar... This is my first viewing of your vids. Really great basic instructional vid on the Texas rig. . Good job. Will check out your others. Hopefully you have one of Whacky style. thx.
Good point on dragging upwards instead of to the side for less line friction on the bottom. I've never thought about that. I do drag it upwards very slowly but I also drag it to side sometimes. I'll try remember not to drag sideways... You never know when you're going to hook into a big one. A small nick in the line could be the difference between landing a new PB or breaking off! I'm pretty good about checking the last few feet of my line for damage. & I retie alot!!!
Good stuff man. T rig was my 1st successful bass fishing technique. It's good to hear your take. Something I can't find a video on is what angle to you point your rod tip in relation to your bait/line. I remember someone saying when they fish swimbaits they point their rod directly at the bait. I typically have my tip slightly offset when i fish moving baits, but had never thought about if that is correct or not. Nor, how that might vary with different lures. Anyway, best wishes to you and your family. Thanks for the teaching.
Hello I just seen your video I'm in Michigan and the river I'm fishing I can't get the fish to bite not even a nibble . I don't know what to do help please?

Thanks..Good Teaher lesson...
What about when the pond floor is grass and weed heavy? How do you drag and shake through weeds and pads?
You can’t really drag when there are weeds. You need to use more of a hopping retrieve when in heavy cover.
Caught 5 big bass today with Texas rig. Thanks
Do you use a leader, or are you attaching the hook and sinker directly to your main line? Does it matter?

Jay, glad to have you on the channel! Yes, I’ve got a bunch of Wacky Rig videos on here, but I might touch up on some more Wacky Rigging videos.

This is a technique I struggle with. Watching a video like this will hopefully increase my hookup ratio. Thanks Miles. ✌️
Thank you so much for the tutorial. This was so informative and I can’t wait to get on the water and catch some Bass!
You are very welcome! I hope it helps you start catching fish on a Texas Rig!
I've caught many bass in my life. But got my first one the other day on the Texas rig!
Great video!!! Thanks for the advice on the Texas Rig!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!! 🤠👍
I like finding out what some of the things I have in my tackle box are for. Thank you
Hello I just seen your video
I'm in Michigan and the river I'm fishing I can't get the fish to bite not even a nibble .
I don't know what to do help please?
Thanks for demonstration. BTW, Is the weight 1/8oz or 1/4oz or 3/16oz? Thanks
Great info
The fact that you didn’t say “pun intended” after “down in the weeds” killed me 😩😂 Lol
Thanks for the vid man
Wonderful video thnx
Awesome info thanks fir vid
Step 1, get a bass boat full of expensive tech that finds fish for you. Step 2, throw Texas rig at fish. Keep going until it bites.
I got leprosy from FFS...
or from watching Intuitive Angling with Randy Blaukat...
Really appreciate the video. Can I tie this straight to 15lb braided line?
