Texas Rig Stick Baits for Spring Bass with Seth Feider
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 бер 2023
- Texas-rigging a stick bait is a simple and effective method to catch springtime bass at any phase of the spawn. Seth Feider shares the details of his setup and explains how he fishes it to target prespawn, spawning, and post-spawn fry-guarders in a range of shallow cover situations.

The beauty of a lightweight Texas-rigged stick bait is that it can be fished in nearly all cover (except punching) and gets bites anywhere. Feider prefers floating plastic worms for this tactic, with his favorite stick bait being a Z-Man Bang StickZ. It's buoyant and has small tentacles at the end, which provides more action than the traditional stick worm. A floating worm is visible to more fish while subtle movement temps strikes from tentative bass.
Feider explains why he prefers using straight shank hooks (flipping or worm) over offset or EWG-style hooks with ElaZtech plastics. He then details his basic rod setup, which includes a 7-foot, 3-inch medium-heavy rod and a high-speed reel spooled with a 30-pound braid to a 17-pound fluorocarbon leader.
Feider pitches the bait around grass edges and into any hole or pocket he sees. Don't overwork the bait - pitch it in, shake it a little, then make another cast. Try this simple and versatile rig anytime you have shallow bass relating to cover like grass or woody cover. It excels around spawn but will catch bass anytime.

Please Seth, we need your own UA-cam channel 👌
Seth Feider needs a show. Llama content is as good as it gets.
He's got the special sauce for sure. One of the best fishing educators out there and he's just being himself.
Not many anglers that can make a stickworm video just as exciting as a frog video
"Anywhere there's a hole, pitching my worm into it." Nice!
2016 Mississippi River was when I found this guy, called everyone out on day 3 almost came away with the win, told everyone there only gonna catch 17 pounds what I’m doin I can catch 20 easy loved the confidence loved the competition he’s got in him!
I'm surprised the Bang StickZ isn't discussed more. It's AWESOME!!! Also, I don't buy TRDs or TicklerZ anymore; I just cut Bang StickZ IN HALF and you get a TRD and a TicklerZ.
Cool, thanks for sharing. It's quickly become a favorite bait for several guys on tour. Super versatile as you point out 👊.
Cool idea
Genius
Bang stickz is super underrated
@Wired2Fish I started doing that with my senkos when they split down the middle. 😂😂
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. Seth is top notch. A fisherman's fisherman. 👍
Couldn't agree more!
The Z-Man bang stickz I’ve said it for years is the most underrated stick bait on the market.
Solid stick bait for suuuure.
Thanks Seth. Good information and great explanation and insight
Appreciate the kind words. Good luck this season Richard.
Nice video. What is the sun jacket you're wearing?
Yessss
I wonder if Seth has tried the VMC ringed eye straight shank hook?
I see your using a diawa kage rod. One of my favorite rods
Sweet stick for sure!
FEIDER!!!
Hey Z-Man, PLEASE add some MORE COLORS to your Bang StickZ line!!!🙏🏻
There's a great company that always appreciates feedback. They'll be sure to see your note. Thanks!
Good to see you again brother wife and I both root for you man we haven't agreed on anyone since Dale Sr come on back brother looking to work that mo joe on em again
guys have tried sending text as requested will not deliver
Wow Seth wearing gloves ???? That's a first I've seen this lol love the video Seth
That southern sun will get ya. Especially for a northern boy this early in the season!
@@Wired2Fish I hear I'm from Michigan bud
How long of a leader for clear water?
The Lorax strikes again
Is the bang stick his version of the senko?
The biggest difference is the Bang StickZ is buoyant. The Z-Man ZinkerZ is more like the Senko.
If you "Pro's" want to really help the average angler. Fish some dirty, high, cold water in the midwest prior to Spawn. We don't have much CLEAR water here in midwest Reservoirs.
Here's one --> Swindle discussing how he catches 'em in high, dirty and cold water. ua-cam.com/video/iYWW21xwseo/v-deo.html
What state are you in?
Swindles video isn’t for water around me! And I’m sorry there are two different definitions to cold! Where I’m at is cold in the springtime. What others consider cold is nice weather where I’m at..
How long do you think his leader is?
I remember him saying that it’s right at the closest guide to the reel when you have your bait where you’d hold it to pitch
Bang stick is money! I use it on a shakey head and it gets bites.
Such a great finesse bait!
Heard him say the bass was peeing. I've also seen this. What exactly does it mean. Heard a few opinions
It means the fish had to piss. Duh.
@@jdmcnugent6808 good one captain obvious. I've only observed this during spawn.
Heaters and dews will catch anything
It ain't a bad combination when combined with bass fishing 🚬🦙🎣!
