I'm still hammering the fish 1 year on 2 years ago i watched this video now people are beginning to notice just how good it is your the man ARTILLERY this rig changed my fisshing big-time cheers dude
I’ve talked to guys that use a Zman floating bait. Any of the larger ones. They pitch it to docks and instead of the bait hitting the bottom it floats up. After they give it a few seconds to float up, they pull the line, the bait heads back to the bottom and repeat. It’s like a reverse drop shot.
Try it in pads with a Zman GOAT. It will actually pull line as it floats up (the weight stays in the bottom). You can actually go UP and DOWN repetitively among the stems/stalks. Great for pressured areas.
I believe this is the best fishing rig ever. You can customize it to any situation imaginable. You can probably even catch shark with it if you scale it up.
The best fishing rig depends on the scenario it's being used in. But I would agree that the bullet weight and this weight are awesome. I've used this many times when i've ran out of bullet weights. Been doing it for a very long time. I think a lot of people have been. It's not new to the United States that's for sure. Maybe new to youtube.
It's really like a t-tig with a different sinker. I also like to use those sinkers for a c-rig because they are just more sensitive, as the line goes through much more easily.
It is like an unpegged T-rig… somewhat. But the bigger benefit is that the line isn’t banging into the rocks and cover. Way less line damage versus T-rigging.
Yes, overall I was happy with the result when I tried it. No lie my very first cast with it I caught a fish 😂😂😂 small one but still fun when that happens. I think it’s fun when you can change up the game and throw something different.
Hold the bait in your hand and allow the weight to sink straight down to the bottom. Then let your bait free fall ALL THE WAY from top to bottom. The bait is in my hand and the weight is 20' down before I ever let the bait go.
This functions literally the exact same as a texas rigged worm/craw/lizard with a bullet weight unpegged. I have no idea why everyone is acting like this is a new revelation in bass fishing.
It is very very similar but I wanted to test it out regardless. The biggest difference I found was that the swivel sinker moves a lot more freely on the line which allows the bait to go straight down with out the slight arc an unpegged Texas rig gives you along with some other subtle differences. Just another option for over pressured fish in my opinion, I usually only throw this on tough bite days
It’s very similar but the big difference maker is the “swivel sinker”. This allows the weight to move much more free up and down the line giving the bait freedom of motion. Gives a bit of different look when the fish are highly pressured. Hope this helps
Mavejar520 I actually made another video addressing that. I’m still borderline on how different they are but that video I made explains a bunch I think it’s called free rig vs Texas rig
@@artillerylife Many thanks for the video. To me, free rig achieves what the Texas rig inventor wanted to achieve. That is, more lively action of a softbait.
@@artillerylife oh no I wouldn’t do that all I want to do is show the action of the rig under water but don’t have a huge fish tank like yours I appreciate it I do fishing videos on tik tok for educational purposes

Took a while for my bird brain to visualize and I’ll have to try that out! Thanks for the info!
This rig smokes fish absolutely fantastic rig very very unique rig ALIEN
So we've come from texas rig to carolina to drop shot to tokyo to pegged texas and back to unpegged texas rig.
Fishing is wonderful.
Just made a video of a side by side comparison of the two rigs. Please check it out.
Thanks for the info and for supporting Heroes on the Water!
Caught my second biggest, 8.3 Monday. Then a 5.5 & 4 on a stick worm and on spinning gear!
NICE!
Hey Free Rig is from Korea not Japan.
Man it was nice to not only learn about the free rig, but from a fellow Browns fan! I appreciate the info, and Go Browns!
This works so well for BFS - even works in Saltwater
Finese 1/16 or 1/8 weights 4lb braid straight to the hook.
Hi Fredrick, we always use fluorocarbon as a leader. Why Is braid straight to the hook better?
Try it in pads with a Zman GOAT. It will actually pull line as it floats up (the weight stays in the bottom). You can actually go UP and DOWN repetitively among the stems/stalks. Great for pressured areas.
Good review and real world footage! Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you
Man of culture
Awesome. Love this in-depth show n tell review. 🎣
THANK YOU

Interesting rig setup, might have to give it a try sometime!

bullet weights work the exact same
You just got another sub 👍😄
I’m gonna have to try this rig 🎣
Thanks brother!!! I will check your channel out too!!!
Would be a good rig with a more buoyant bait. Zoom’s baits just lay on the bottom
Hold the bait in your hand and allow the weight to sink straight down to the bottom. Then let your bait free fall ALL THE WAY from top to bottom. The bait is in my hand and the weight is 20' down before I ever let the bait go.
I like this rig set up might have to try it out myself! Hope you'll stop by the channel!
Thanks brother I will for sure
Good stuff man.. Gonna try it out.. Free.. Wishing Well.

I know right??
@@artillerylife 6:11
Ima try Jika rig this winter
Just like a slip sinker or a bullet weight is it not?
Looks exactly the same as a regular-ol' Texas Rig, except maybe a bit snaggier. I don't get the point.

As for the snags I don’t recommend throwing is in “grassy areas” I’ve had the best success with it under docks and on drop offs.

Can i hook mullet gulp or only silicones?
Hell yeah go dawg pound
What's the name of the female Korean Angler? I've been trying to look up her channel, nothing.
Her name is in Korean, here is the link to her channel th-cam.com/channels/Q_2Uzf0pXNBPkEaoNgvmUg.html
Good video go Browns
Sinker weight? Sorry cant remember if I asked already
Honestly it all depends on what your doing with it and how deep. I usually will carry with my 1/8 to 3/4
@@artillerylife what style line and pound test line do you use?
I prefer mono because of it floats. I will put on 12-15 lbs mono. I usually play it safe with my line but I know some guys will go as low as 8.
The bass prefer to hunt in the vicinity of kelp beds or among roks. It must be the perfect thing
What is the difference between this and a Texas right without a peg?
Mavejar520 I actually made another video addressing that. I’m still borderline on how different they are but that video I made explains a bunch I think it’s called free rig vs Texas rig
Artillery Life I’ll check it out, just got back from the shop buying some of these eights so I’m going to give it a try! I’ll check out the video too!
@@artillerylife Many thanks for the video. To me, free rig achieves what the Texas rig inventor wanted to achieve. That is, more lively action of a softbait.
Hey man could I use some of the fish tank footage for a tik tok video? If not it’s ok I rather ask for your permission
Sure, as long as your just not trying to be mean. People can be kinda venomous.
@@artillerylife oh no I wouldn’t do that all I want to do is show the action of the rig under water but don’t have a huge fish tank like yours I appreciate it I do fishing videos on tik tok for educational purposes
@@artillerylife I really like fishing this rig but I would like to show the action to my audience
@@angelsculptures1478 thank you! What’s your page?
@@artillerylife you can check it out and let me know if you agree to let me use some of the fish tank footage
Unpegged Texas rig
Isn't this just a unpegged T-rig?
I actually made a video because of that. Haha there are slight differences but they are similar
@@artillerylife I'll check that video out.
이거 한국 🇰🇷 에서 만든겁니다
It's not new to united states. Anyone who's ran outa bullet weights has probably used this technique.
You mean a presentation you've been using.
BetterBasser yes you are right, FYI I’m not the most articulate person😂🤣
jika texas style
Ive used this naturally because I didnt know any better. The only options i had lmao
It's an unpegged Texas Rig LOL
Just made a video of a side by side comparison of the two rigs. Please check it out.
Same as a un pegged Texas rig
Very similar but the swivel sinker gives this rig more freedom of motion and less of an arc when pitched. But yes very similar

I take my comment back, The sinker drop faster than bait is different from in peg TX rig, thank u
im more a fan of tiny rick
It’s nothing like a Carolina rig , it’s not even close to it ..🤦♂️
