The crappie here in Arkansas have been biting that mini hair jig and mini "damiki" rig under a bobber lately. Close to evening, even in this cold those crappie start hitting right at the surface on those minnows sunning themselves. That tactic has been pretty deadly at those times. Caught a few that went 15 inches...lots of fun!
Always thought about using the old gulps. Just don't remember if I very pulled the trigger and tried or not.. have swam a few Ned rigs though..well sorta let them swim/ride the current then drop & shake. Behind a big Ricky, cover , points. When I have yak or boat access. Little harder form the bank. But totally doable. Great video, thanks!
Have been using gulp minnows like this for a few years but had no idea it was called tightlining. I've slayed em doing this on cool overcast summer days too. It's a great technique.
just found your channel, awesome video ! so i tried the float n fly once with little crappie soft plastics and it worked ha. i def wanna get some of the actual hair jig you showed here though. also never tried the tight line so gotta do that now too
Mono or fluoro would work with this technique. I don’t think it makes a big difference in terms of visibility when your using 4-6 lb test. When braid is involved I like mono to absorb some of the strong digging smallmouth do, especially when your using a #4-#2 size hook. Thanks for watching the video!
Great job thanks for sharing your experience
First video watching this guy and just cuz the intro edit and song I subscribed

I’ve had great success fishing gulp minnows like you described in creeks, streams, and rivers for smallmouth. Thanks for watching!
Well done well done..cheers. Subscribing.
