    Richard. Started using ur loop knot on my ice fishing jigs. Man. That is the best secret anyone has ever given up. Vertical and horizontal ice jigs with ur loop knot r the best advice I have ever received for ice fishing. Thanks for giving me that final piece of advice for fishing through the ice! 👍👍

    Give a man a fish and feed him a meal. Give Richard Gene the Fishing Machine a jig, and he can feed that man 25 to 30 meals. You sir have a skill set and knowledge for all things related to fishing that is unmatched by anyone. Thank you for sharing with us.

    Catches 20 to 30 crappie with this modification in just one hook and plastic lure (1.75 slab tail) . Highly recommended folks. Thanks sir Richard for your very special knowledge with crappie.

  • @junebug922

    I believe you are the best crappie fisherman I've ever seen. Growing up in Florida, catching "speckled perch" we only caught them at dead and crescent lake in the narrows in January and February trolling live minnows. Since moving to Ga have learned to spider rig and fish at night with lights under 109 bridge at West point lake. Have some friends who pitch jigs to trees they have sunk. My aunt likes to use a jig pole with about 18 inches of line around stumps in dead lake. I've seen a bunch of ways, but you sir are becoming my all time favorite. Glad to have found your page.

    Richard - I'm a newbee, learning the knots. Your knot is praised by my fishing buddy. I loved the video, especially the "dental floss" secret. I'm a simple thinker with survivalist genes. I love what you've shown. I'll practice until my ages hands gets this. Don't worry about the carpentry hands. I'm glad I learned this from a "real" guy who's worked hard all his life. I'm an HVAC and Electrical guy. So Awesome!!! Thanks!

    Richard you have more knowledge of all kinds of our southern lakes, rivers,& creeks fishing. I practically lived on Chickamauga, creek as a teenager. Fishing till dark everyday catching loads of Rock bass & the creek bass you've been catching. You have so many great tips for us I can't thank God enough for giving you to us. I walked 2.5 to 3 miles up a mountain fed creek using the helgramites & caught more fish than I have caught in years. Just the sound of the rapids & the birds singing with not another person around. That is truly Gods therapy , Thanks so much

    Mr Richard. Sitting here at home with our new baby girl. Watching crappies come in the boat and practicing that loop knot. Fished my entire life and have never seen it explained like that! Finally getting it looking good and down close to the eye of the hook. Now it it will quit rainin and snowing in NC I gotta get the boat rigged up. My grandpas 65 crest liner v bottom is gonna get decked out kinda like yours with the green carpet. And, hey...wooooo,wooo!

  • @marshalllaw4116
    @marshalllaw4116 5 років тому +2

    I found this video over a year ago and I've been doing the jig with dental floss like Richard shows and I can catch a limit of crappie on a single Bobby Garland unless I break off.
    I tie a different loop knot which lets the tag line point down instead of up so that it doesn't catch grass/ trash, I also straighten hook back and forth a few times to weaken it so it's easier to pull free when snagged.
    A jig the way this video teaches is the single best tip for catching more crappie that I've ever heard, thank you RGTFM.

    @hankll926 5 років тому +1

    When I began doing the super glue/floss trick, its easier than I thought! Watching you do the changes to the jig and to the plastics body, I now try to get my jigs lighter by snipping the body off at the nose end to get a better looking jig. I'm finally getting my wife to believe in your abilities, but she still isn't watching any of your video's. But she isn't getting mad at me when I go to my desk and start working on making made ahead jigs for the boat. I think we will have a good year on the Tennessee River. Right now we've had almost 3" of rain in last 2 weeks. I hope that doesn't mess up the bedding this year. I love your video posts....and I can't wait or the next one. I stop what I'm doing just to watch and learn. Someday, I hope to see Elmo out on the boat with you.

    thanks for the tips...i watched this about a month ago and now i use your method for loop knot instead of my old way (much quicker) and also the dental floss/super glue method and that already saved me a lot of jig bodies.i mold my own jigs and have mold with no collar so keeps the jig same weight....thanks for a great channel.

  • @nicholaswilliams6055
    @nicholaswilliams6055 4 роки тому +1

    After watching this video I prepped a couple of jigs using this method, I used the same jig the entire time out, up until something bit the tail off. The job body never slipped off and I caught a ton of bluegill and crappie and I was having to rip through some weeds too. I’m going to try the weedless method next. Thank you for sharing your secrets with us!

I bought my Ultralite Combo a couple weeks ago & finally got to use it Trout Fishing . It took a couple tries but I successfully tied my panfish / trout magnet jigs just like you tie your crappie jigs . As for catching any well ya know if you're not used to an Ultralite & using lite tackle . Well it takes time to get used to or for me anyway But hey I had a blast Thankyou again Kind Sir & God Bless you & Mama Sue !

    Hey Richard,
    Hats off to your hands. Shows a hard working and moral man.
    I was thinking, that if you took a small syringe. A food grade on will work as long as it seals. You could inject a small (more more) air bubble into the bait. They would act the same as ballast and trim tanks on a submarine. Add air to the front to level your bait or make it surface running by adding more air.. Thanks for the lesson. :)
