Love how you simplify your set ups Jeff. So easy to follow and make my own. Saves money on jigs too. Seen your pic on Batsons web site, hoping to build me a rod soon. Thanks for putting out such good teaching videos and not just catching and sayin ooohhhh look what I just caught
John, I didn’t realize that Batson had it up yet. Thanks for the heads up. I’ll be setting up my rod building space soon. I have a bunch of components waiting on me!
It’s really a great idea with the punch weight, I have been using the bat wings on a smaller Zman jig with a lot of success but your method is very cool! I gonna try it. Thanks Jeff! My fish count is really going up with the stuff you have been sharing. Thanks Brother!
Always one step ahead....that's why I watch. I am still working on stuff you posted a few months back. I have been wanting to modify a football jig to do the same as this one. Hope to see ya on the river.
I have been using a similar rig for years. I snag jigs on what seems like every cast and stopped using them mostly. I went to a punch skirt with a texas rigged bait I havent used the weight with the skirt attachment yet but will have to try also like the clacker.
Wow this is awesome, thank you for sharing! I’m going to make these myself for fishing the Susquehanna. Would you mind sharing where I could find the punch weights, skirting material, and clacker discs?
I have the link to the 3/8 oz tungsten weights in the video, but it’s joy.fish. The Clacker discs are called something else because when I went to put text on that part of the video, I couldn’t find them. People use them for Carolina rigging. Skirt material can be found anywhere, but I likely got that at Do-It Molds.
That’s pretty cool. I’ve been using the finesse bulletz 1/6oz on a BFS setup with the TRD Crawz . I’ve been wet wading lately. I’ll have to try that rig on my next float trip.
I really need to come fish the NE with you. I never get to fish rocky bottom down here to drag like that on the bottom. Definitely an awesome mix of products to make that set up!
How about tying the skirt on a separate plastic tube like salmon/pike tube flies, that you would slide on the line together with a standard bullet? I mean a rig like Hook-TubeFly-Bullet- That would allow more flexibility on the weight you choose. Or is there a good reason for having the skirt directly attached to the weight? Just an Idea of a 3%er. Thanks for sharing your patterns. 👍

@@TheLittleStuff can’t wait for the rod building videos.

Glad to hear it George!

That finesse jig is still important. Sometimes a slower rate of fall is the key to getting bit, and this rig does not do that.
Interesting setup 👍. Thanks Jeff

The tungsten adds another element of sensitivity.

That sounds like a productive combo Chuck!
@@TheLittleStuff, it is. It’s a lot of fun too. I can cast that setup all day while I’m on foot. I used light tackle on my last two float trips too.
What about marinated baits in different scent products,berkley,pro cure,bait fuel ect.
I just really like the Liquid Mayhem.
I love liquid mayhem and jjs magic

Find higher gradient rivers. Go to the mountains. Go higher up in the watershed. There will be a harder bottom and more current.

Julian, a punch skirt would work. I just like to customize with the round rubber and more sparse skirt layer.
What weight size 3/8 i normally go with 5/16 round head jig
3/8th oz tungsten is just the lightest I’ve found in that skirt collar style weight.
do you think it will work on a lakeas well as it does on the river?
Yes. I actually use heavier ones for fishing deep on lakes.
Are those 1/0-2/0 hooks you use
Smaller. Size 1 or 2.
good stuff
Thanks!
better than a jig? blasphemy!! :)
So many problems solved!
