  • Split-shotting is not the sexiest or flashiest way to catch a bass but it is probably the most effective way to catch them year around. I dive into the technique around the 9 minute mark. Gear in the description below. Thanks for watching!

    Hey Nick. Your dad taught me the split-shot method back in 1987. It is my go to method when the bite gets tough. I still have a couple hundred leaches from back then too. It normally doesn’t get the hogs, but it definitely puts numbers in the boat.

    This brings back memories! In the early day, time are more simple, so is the foshing rig we use.

    Split shot leach. It brings back memories. Probably why I’m a power fisherman, but at times it will be what puts fish in the boat.

    Tried this technique today. It works. The bite was really tough today, and this was the only thing that i could catch bass on .
    Even caught a couple of bluegill on it.

    Why you telling everyone my secrets? 😂 I use a split shot all the time but I actually use a mojo weight and swivel instead of crimping on the split shot. Absolutely killer technique when you just need to get bit.
