    Mike! I bought me some French fries today and caught 15 bass, biggest being about 4lbs using this technique!! No one else caught anything. Who woulda thought a French fry with a nail weight in its arse would be so effective. Thanks man!!!

  • @scotttrull9170
    @scotttrull9170 2 роки тому +4

    I've been fishing this technique all summer long and have caught 2 6+ lb Largemouth from under trees. I LOVE this technique. I even rig a 5" Senko style bait like this and fish with a baitcaster. It has the same action!

    Ike, I’ve made a couple small modifications to this rig with some success. Biggest tweak is I use larger-sized snell/salmon egg-style hooks instead of standard offset ones. I run the hook thru the worm to about 1/3rd down the body and then Texas rig it.
    You are 100% correct, btw. This technique is no joke. Been a game changer for me last year and so far this season. Thank you for sharing this as always. You make us PA boys proud!

  • @chriscosby1561
    @chriscosby1561 3 роки тому +2

    Appreciate the tips brother and get um next time. I've never been much of a spring fisherman but with these tips will surely help. I tend to catch big ones when it's tough late summer fall winter the tournaments where everybody whacks em 20 pound sacks halfway down the board not me but when it's a struggle like your city limits fishing and such that's my time when I'm up there. Fishing the northern open on the James River here in a couple weeks

  • @josephnywayfarer1345
    @josephnywayfarer1345 3 роки тому +3

    I can verify this is a killer rig all year round. You can actually up-size it and use it on a baitcaster with 10 pound line. For the bigger version I will use the Z-Man big TRD and a VMC half moon Neko weight. Size 1 or 1/0 worm hook. Caught 2 of my biggest fish on this rig drifting in a kayak with a lift and fall motion of the rod just like Mike says.

    Great tip dude. Imagination is the WONDERFUL aspect fishing. Being creative is one of the greatest part of fishing. Become a kid again and imagine what your lure is doing down there and that a big Ol’ bass is looking at it. Be that kid again.

  • @SudhirLamba-dh2yd
    @SudhirLamba-dh2yd Рік тому +1

    Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.

    I figured it out, in college I had a professor that lectured in the same cadence as Mike, I kept wondering why do I find this familiar and my wife comes in my man cave on night and says Mike is loud and to turn it down she couldn't sleep, she says its like when we were in college taking notes in this one professors class, and she was right and he did this so no one would fall asleep in his classroom 😴 Mike iaconelli did you have the same teacher? Lol! If angling is ever offered as an elective at the collegiate level, Mike is the man for the job, 3 credit hours elective!
