Holy fuck, I'm newish to fishing and you're the first UA-cam angler ice found that actually explains things. Everyone else just says, "This is the rig, now watch this edit of me casting and catching". This makes you the first angler I've actually subbed to. Thanks and keep it up
New to Bass fishing and have bought a fishing kayak. Like your teaching style and appreciate the informative videos! Any kids who doesn't have someone to teach them...your videos will definitely help them!
Hands down one of the most informative videos I have watched so far on bass fishing. Just getting into bass fishing and just learned more in the 27 minutes of this video than I have in hours of watching UA-cam. Keep up the great work and thank you. Can't wait to get out there and put these to the test.
hey IF, wanted to let you know you are the best youtube channel i have seen so far for dispensing clear information that's useful, especially for beginners, with the pandemic and everything happenin right i've taken up fishing again after like 7 years break and you are my main source if info! thanks again.
I have heard countless people swear by the ned rig but have never fished one myself until yesterday. I went out to my local pond where I have been skunked the last 3 times I have been out put on a ned rig and within the first 20 minutes I had caught 3 decent sized largemouth. I am a believer. It works just fish it slow and they will bit.
I'm a northern California fisherman as well and I have to say your videos have taught me so much. And since we fish the same waters your advice is even more helpful. Thank you for making these videos!!
Nick, I watch all of your vids and have gone over this one several times. I get something extra from it every time I view it. It is, richly, informative and entertaining, as are your other vids. Love to finesse fish and always seek new ideas. Keep makin' 'em, man.
This is the best video I have found for how to just catch bass. most videos are all about BIG bass and odd techniques but this video shows how to just catch bass. if you go out and get the stuff for these 4 rigs and you fish them, you will catch a ton of bass. Thanks Nick! You were the first ever youtuber I watched (you taught me and my dad to bass fish) and your my absolute favorite UA-camr! You also inspired me to make my own youtube channel and got me back into making videos when I met you at the 2018 B.A.S.S Master Classic and you subscribed to me channel :) Keep it up nick!
My girlfriend and i usually fish for catfish. She tells me she wants to start bass fishing one day...pretty sure ive watched most of your bass videos now. They are incredibly in depth and i love them, keep it up
Watched about six of your videos on Bass fishing last week. Headed up to Navajo Lake in NM and caught 40+ small mouth over two days. I really started nailing them when i utilized your advice on top water and wacky rig. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I just ordered my first baitcasting reel. I feel confident enough to give it a shot after watching the tutorials you have!
I had lot's of doubt that I could do this, but this is the BEST teaching videos, I am in So Cal and can't wait to try what I have learned. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
I came up on this about 3weeks ago. I was desperate and not catching anything at all. I took the wacky rig from this and have prob caught over 50 bass lol. Thank you for this and I caught a 5 pounder today. I plan on coming back to this video each time I get confidence in a bait and getting better at another method thank you again!
very good informative. i have been bass fishing for years but didn't use or fully understand these techniques until watching this video. i cant wait to get back out on the water and try these new skills thanks for the tips
Nick, you are a great teacher and have great appeal to "average Joe fisherman." Always enjoy following you in your efforts to help us "duffers" get ahead. Sure would like to see you do a video that focuses on Ned, Neko and shakey-rigs by themselves. This vid did a good job, in general, but I'm sure you could do a great one on the across-the-board applications and strategies of their use. Keep making those fantastic videos.
God job brother!! I like the way you explain things. I'm in southern California and I'm having a hard time getting a bite . I'm new at bass fishing , my PB is 4lb. lol , on the Ned rig believe it or not. And now I'm hooked!! I love bass fishing!! Thanks for the info.
Though this was uploaded over two years ago this is the first time I get to view it. Well explained and for me very informative. I am a recent subscriber. Thank you for the information.
Thanks. This was very informative. Particularly the last one (Ned Rig?) Wasn't aware of that one in that detail. Took me back and made me rethink my tactics and rigs. Dankie.
Your videos are outstanding. You have a way of explaining techniques for bass fishing that rookies can understand. Only downside is you just cost me about $100 at Bass Pro Shops. Thank god for curb side pickup in this post corona world. I’ll let you know if I catch anything next weekend. Goi g to try all the different rigs.
3 years back I got married and became a step father to a little girl and a teenage boy. They both wanna fish(particularly my girl lol) and what I know about fishing could be written on the point of a pen lol. Anyway me catching fish=me being my girls hero...therefore you helping me figure out how=YOU being MY hero lol. Heres a sub, keep em coming please. Very comprehensive info by the way..sry bout the long comment
Went out today its been about 5 years since I’ve bass’s fished .. went out to a neighborhood lake around 1pm , alittle too hot , for 1 bite , left came back at 530-645 and slayed it with 7 -2-3 lbers, and 2 prolly 4-7 lbers I missed... so it was nice , such a great time..
Pro tip for you, tie a ned rig at the bottom of your drop shot instead of a drop shot weight! It's killerrrrrr for finding fish when conditions are tough or in the heat of summer
Great video! I saw another where they put the hook slightly under the "skin" of the lure and then was told to push the barb through the "skin" and then put it back in, so it is kind of the best of both worlds. I guess something could be said about this possibly messing with the motion of the lure...
oohhhh starting with sittin sideways instru got me into the video. but yeah ima start bass fishing down here in miami man thanks for this amazing video
Love the wacky worm, but on a baitcaster 10 lb line. Still, today was in the 30s but went kayak fishing anyway and fished with the spinning rod 6 lb line. Just don't like the feel of it but fished anyway. Nothing. Went to my baitcaster and just felt at home much more in feel. Finally caught an 18" 2 1/2 lb smallmouth. Did what you said, just reel in the hook and lean into it. Thanks man.
Nice information and I'll try out these different presentations. Quick question what are the weather and water conditions for these techniques: i.e. muddy, stained or clear water/ windy, mild wind, calm/ sunny or cloudy / water temp etc. etc. etc.?
Hello Nick, thank you for the explanations which are extraordinarily detailed. The video is 6 years old. Is the Zoom Trick Worm still in your top picks?
great instructional video up to the information on the use of the ned rig...ned rig uses a flat jig head with a floating 2 1/2 to a 3 inch piece of plastic bait like a piece of floating worm...Z-man has kind of cornered the market on the ned rig...also normally uses lighter weights like 1/5 oz...ned rig is designed for lots of fish, not big fish...anyway that's what the big boys down at the boat ramp said...
Excellent tips...reminded me of some things I have forgot to do. My problem is that i shore fish 90% of the time...so there are times when I want to fish the very light setups but then I can't get the distance on my cast :(
Iam 61 been fishn since 1.I needed this as a reminder.For some reason.👍 a zoom fish doctor works a lot better then a trick worm most of the time here in md.Seems like the bait has more salt and softer to me.Only reason I buy senior gy is their baby bass is awsome sometimes.
I'm in winter time here in Tennessee and was out fishing used a lot of my lures after the big bass ! nothing decided to use for the first time the ned rig needless to say in my last hour of fishing caught 16 spotted bass and 4 perch BAMM. you telling the truth :-)
My three biggest mistakes: I don't fish on the bottom enough, I fish too fast and I'm impatient. I'm going out several days this week to correct all these issues. Thanks for the confidence boost.
hell yea Nick I agree about the trick worm, I've gone around the board with trick/ finesse worms of all kinds of brands but I always got bags of trick worms in the stockpile, they just work! and cheap
Thx Nick for this good video. For dropshot fishing in winter here in central calif, what do u think for the length of the tag end with the weight? 6 inches? I like fishing ned rig and dropshot at lake amador from the bank, if your familiar with this lake its full of slate type of rocks, so i lose a lot of bottom contact plastic baits, like ned rig and dropshot, shaky head...Do u have any advise for a bank fisherman on lake amador with all the rock snags?
Nick, what about using a weedless shaky head trick worm? I am going to experiment using one, and wondered how effective it would be in a small bass pond, with thick cover underwater? Tell me your thoughts...
Stren! i never hear people bring up stren. I have brought in a 36 inch drum on 6lb stren mono. Never had another line that tough for the finesse and having no memory. plus i have never had line last as long as stren yet biodegrade if left in the water when discarded.
Holy fuck, I'm newish to fishing and you're the first UA-cam angler ice found that actually explains things. Everyone else just says, "This is the rig, now watch this edit of me casting and catching". This makes you the first angler I've actually subbed to. Thanks and keep it up

I'm very new to bass fishing..your videos are the reason why I started fishing for bass
Eric Villasenor awesome bro, thanks for watching!
Wow bad
As always - enjoyed the video -good luck with the channel.

mike craig thanks brother! Will do!
I'm an advanced bass fisherman in Ontario Canada and your videos are great. Not only for beginners.
Keep up the great work.
You do one heck of a job covering the subject. Can't think of anyone doing it better.
Dude this is the most descriptive and helpful advice I've seen yet. Exactly the type of help I was looking for!
Very rare that I agree with everything said in a fishing video but I gotta say very spot-on and "informative ". Thanks. Great job!
Ed Forbes thank you!

Once I heard the intro music I automatically liked and subscribed. I’m a Texas boy! 🤘🏼✊🏻
I had lot's of doubt that I could do this, but this is the BEST teaching videos, I am in So Cal and can't wait to try what I have learned. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
Love the attention to retrieval and setting the hook on different baits small mistakes I make brought to light. Thanks and keep it coming.
I came up on this about 3weeks ago. I was desperate and not catching anything at all. I took the wacky rig from this and have prob caught over 50 bass lol.

Hi Nick, I am from South Africa, started bass fishing recently. I am enjoying your videos quite alot, super informative. Just wanna say thanks!
very good informative. i have been bass fishing for years but didn't use or fully understand these techniques until watching this video. i cant wait to get back out on the water and try these new skills thanks for the tips
Ur videos are amazing g and I love how serious and focused u are about fishing
He’s giving the Heavy hitter Tips I Needed to know .. 👏
From Florida I enjoy your videos. I’ve learned much and doing well with the techniques you’ve taught
Awesome lesson man thank you very much I really appreciate you taking the time to shoot this video
Fantastic video! Learned a ton of little tricks that I never even considered
Great videos! It is hard to find really informative fishing youtubers on the west coast, especially near the bay area where I live. Subbed!

Thanks for breaking every bait and lure down step by step. It helps me a lot lo e your videos cause you do this
Really appreciate your informative style. You give the what's and why's and i'll go from there. Tools for the toolbox as they say. Thx Nick.
Letting the Texas rig sink to the bottom and waiting before tapping rod seems obvious but is a nuance that is important to landing bass. Great video
Though this was uploaded over two years ago this is the first time I get to view it. Well explained and for me very informative. I am a recent subscriber. Thank you for the information.
Thanks. This was very informative. Particularly the last one (Ned Rig?) Wasn't aware of that one in that detail. Took me back and made me rethink my tactics and rigs. Dankie.
Afrikaans sien ek.
Excellent video! Love the detail and complete breakdown. Thanks for posting.
Sir Bass Thumb thank you!
Your videos are outstanding. You have a way of explaining techniques for bass fishing that rookies can understand. Only downside is you just cost me about $100 at Bass Pro Shops. Thank god for curb side pickup in this post corona world. I’ll let you know if I catch anything next weekend. Goi g to try all the different rigs.
Can you please do a video on lures, and effective water temperatures to use them.
Mountain BowHunting yes I will
I automatically subscribed soon as i heard "Still Tippin"
Talk about someone who knows their fishing! Goodness very helpful
Appreciated brother I fish at a pond near my house that's pretty opened up and wide it's raining today but when it stops I'mma try these rigs
Excellent fishing lesson! You're a great teacher.
mburke1211 thank you!
Thank You so much for these great detailed videos I learn more and more every time I watch your videos. Extremely helpful!!!!
Great video.Very informative amigo.I shall try to catch more fish with the tips you talked about.Much support from Mexico.Gracias.
I can attest to the success of these finess techniques
3 years back I got married and became a step father to a little girl and a teenage boy. They both wanna fish(particularly my girl lol) and what I know about fishing could be written on the point of a pen lol. Anyway me catching fish=me being my girls hero...therefore you helping me figure out how=YOU being MY hero lol. Heres a sub, keep em coming please. Very comprehensive info by the way..sry bout the long comment
great advice! rainbow worm on a drop shot is a key setup in cali.
Went out today its been about 5 years since I’ve bass’s fished .. went out to a neighborhood lake around 1pm , alittle too hot , for 1 bite , left came back at 530-645 and slayed it with 7 -2-3 lbers, and 2 prolly 4-7 lbers I missed... so it was nice , such a great time..
Was fishing plastic red shad worms , with Texas rigged.
Nick with the slim thug intro lol watched the whole video just for the intro music selection great information as well.
You rock we tried the drop shot with the zoom wacky style and caught 3 in 10 mins.
Great video on drop shotting....my favorite technique! Love to throw a drop shot year round.
Great. Can you do top four top water and mid-depth baits. Keep em' coming, quality video, info, and tid-bits. Thanks.
Pro tip for you, tie a ned rig at the bottom of your drop shot instead of a drop shot weight! It's killerrrrrr for finding fish when conditions are tough or in the heat of summer
Josh Kroll I like your style
Big fan of your videos I learn a lot

oohhhh starting with sittin sideways instru got me into the video. but yeah ima start bass fishing down here in miami man thanks for this amazing video
You've caught thousands of bass? I cant even catch one lol. Great video, lots of info. Suscribed!!!!
Love the wacky worm, but on a baitcaster 10 lb line. Still, today was in the 30s but went kayak fishing anyway and fished with the spinning rod 6 lb line.

2fast2block awesome, I love smallies!
Had to throw a like after the still tippin intro
Nice information and I'll try out these different presentations. Quick question what are the weather and water conditions for these techniques: i.e. muddy, stained or clear water/ windy, mild wind, calm/ sunny or cloudy / water temp etc. etc. etc.?
The Bass Pro stik-o is such a good value
thanks Nick,
I always learn something from you
on dropshots I use Roboworm or Biospawn and they work just fine. Nice video!
Excellent video sir, I'm always learning something new.
Arnold Salazar that's what I like to hear!
Hello Nick, thank you for the explanations which are extraordinarily detailed. The video is 6 years old. Is the Zoom Trick Worm still in your top picks?
This winter im really struggling. Im trying to catch bass but I cant. I am going to use your tips and hopefully catch a bass. Thanks.
Thanks for the tip. I'm new to using the drop shot and the other ones you mentioned
great instructional video up to the information on the use of the ned rig...ned rig uses a flat jig head with a floating 2 1/2 to a 3 inch piece of plastic bait like a piece of floating worm...Z-man has kind of cornered the market on the ned rig...also normally uses lighter weights like 1/5 oz...ned rig is designed for lots of fish, not big fish...anyway that's what the big boys down at the boat ramp said...
What is the last bait you hooked up to the NED rig at about 23:50 in the video? Thanks
I knew when you bumped some Paul wall this is were I needed to be
Very informative video, going out to catch my first bass now!
Excellent tips...reminded me of some things I have forgot to do. My problem is that i shore fish 90% of the time...so there are times when I want to fish the very light setups but then I can't get the distance on my cast :(

Dang spell ck
dave king I will check them out
I'm in winter time here in Tennessee and was out fishing used a lot of my lures after the big bass ! nothing decided to use for the first time the ned rig needless to say in my last hour of fishing caught 16 spotted bass and 4 perch BAMM. you telling the truth :-)
chuck wills that's awesome!!!
👍 great video my brutha! Is the #5 rig the Umbrella rig? Or Tokyo rig? Just wondering.
Great video, thanks for some great tips!
Fantastic video! Nice job!
Extremely well done,Oddly a bubblegum trick worm work better then go in my clear reservoir.
dave king sometimes it does for sure!
Just found you, well done. BUT what about a swivel or a swivel hook? Yes or No and if Yes where to place it? And Leader or no leader?
Thank you
My three biggest mistakes: I don't fish on the bottom enough, I fish too fast and I'm impatient. I'm going out several days this week to correct all these issues. Thanks for the confidence boost.
Sounds like myself!! Fishing has gave me a little patience...working on more..lol
hell yea Nick I agree about the trick worm, I've gone around the board with trick/ finesse worms of all kinds of brands but I always got bags of trick worms in the stockpile, they just work! and cheap
kushcrumbleshatter1990 hard to deny what works! Thanks bro!
That was the holy Grail of my favorite tactics. Thank you so much.....
Thx Nick for this good video. For dropshot fishing in winter here in central calif, what do u think for the length of the tag end with the weight? 6 inches?
I like fishing ned rig and dropshot at lake amador from the bank, if your familiar with this lake its full of slate type of rocks, so i lose a lot of bottom contact plastic baits, like ned rig and dropshot, shaky head...Do u have any advise for a bank fisherman on lake amador with all the rock snags?
With all due respect,! Your the best. I cant wait to try your tips.
Nice Video and very informative. I can't wait to hit the water.
Awesome video! Thanks. Meat and potatoes info! You rock!
Props for having the beat from still tippin on here. Rarely here stuff like that on fishing channels
Nick, what about using a weedless shaky head trick worm? I am going to experiment using one, and wondered how effective it would be in a small bass pond, with thick cover underwater? Tell me your thoughts...
Excellent teacher. Thanks
Great Video...informative. nice!
Great video. Planty of tips. Thanks.
I prefer the watermelon chartreuse trick worm but I agree about it being the best dropshot worm
Zoom Trick Worm Green Pumpkin is amazing. There is magic in those worms. Thanks for the vid!
Stren! i never hear people bring up stren. I have brought in a 36 inch drum on 6lb stren mono. Never had another line that tough for the finesse and having no memory. plus i have never had line last as long as stren yet biodegrade if left in the water when discarded.
Love the Texas rig.
This video was very helpful thank you
question? for you Nick, will bass eat crawfish style baits even if that's not a food source in the body of water your fishing in
Thank u for your videos,I learn so much from it!
Awesome video Bro.
