    Fishermen are too afraid of losing baits or hanging up on structure. It's big reason for not catching fish.

    Good advice. I sometimes don't know what profile to use in a given situation, deizel minnow, scented paddlerz, mulletron, trout trick, etc. Can you make a video that explains your thought process around profiles? Thanks

    Great tip, CA. I’ve always said when freshwater that if you never get hung up your not where the fish are.

      And that's why the squarebill crank bait is so effective. It can bump the bottom without hanging up.

      Second the motion! That's a winner! "Flats Class" should cut a deal with the shirt guy. I'll take a dozen. Ten for family members, and two for those other guys. EDIT: Spoke too soon. Google and Amazon are full of similar shirts ... But, they are all "overproduced" ... graphics & colors galore. The simplicity of the T-shirt shown above is nowhere to be found.

    I know a lot of people like using 1/16 and 1/8 oz jigs but I like to use 1/4 and 3/8 so I can keep it closer to the bottom even if I’m just swimming it

    aside from hunting fish. if you're not getting your lure or fly "hung up" you are not in the most productive area of the water column. great video.

    Watched a salt strong video where Pat stuck a piece of 40# leader close to the jighead and over the hook to make the bait sort of weedless.

    I’ve been doing a lot of the bottom contact unintentionally just because I’m fishing shallow oyster beds and I’ll get snagged every 5 seconds then have about 5 seconds of static swim but I’ve been killing it with the snook lately so now I’ll do it intentionally 😂

    As a fellow "old bass guy," I appreciate that you use the terms cover and structure correctly. Most salt folks don't understand the difference. You're gonna start a trend!

    • @flatsclasscharters

      I agree. Hear it all the time. Another thing I hear is UA-camrs identifying a standard Dropper Loop Rig as a Drop Shot Rig.

  • @Lees920
    @Lees920 4 місяці тому +1

    When your swim bait/ shad style body is rigged on most jigheads, stopping your retrieve will turn the hook point down, giving it a greater opportunity to snag the bottom. Slowing your retrieve will continue allowing the hook point to ride up but allow the lure to slowly descend closer to the bottom and not hang up. You can still bump the bottom but when you do slow the retrieve, but you won't snag it.

  • @TimBigBendFishing

    Until I realized that if I wasn’t hitting bottom, I wasn’t in the productive zone, my fishing was lackluster. Yes, losing lures is a part of it. But burning a bait in the top few inches of water usually isn’t the deal. Sometimes it is for bass with a spinner bait, esp on a windy day if the bass are on shad school, but inshore, bottom-bouncing is always more productive for me.
