Wacky Rigs Are a Waste Of Time

  • The thumbnail is click-bait. Wacky rigs don’t suck. Sometimes a different rig is a better option to catch bass faster…….. just like I explained in the video. If you see a guy taking the lesson out of context reply to him with a “hello Kaleb”😂

    You explained the difference between the lures and the situations to use them. People will either get it or not. Some people simply do not listen and want everything easy or their way.

    Look at that... wacky rig bout to catch everybody scrolling past this video. 🔥

  • @ryandelconte74
    @ryandelconte74 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    As a fellow SC resident I agree with you BLat. You'll catch em on the wacky all day around here but the fish you're looking for want something that gets to the bottom quick. Texas rig/Shaky head is the way to go during the spawn. I appreciate you sir keep making moves and doing your thing. We here in SC are proud of what you do.

  • @FisherShane7538
    @FisherShane7538 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Agree with your take on this subject, shaky heads get down quickly, but nail rigging a wacky rig also gets the bait down quickly ( insert a portion of a nail shank into the middle of the bait carefully keeping the balance intact ) Similar drop rate, giving the option for wacky when you still want to use it in the conditions you have mentioned. Always find ways to improvise and always keep your options open !

    Sorry for finding your channel late. Thank you for telling the truth that nobody else wants to share. It’s especially true in South that we have a large population of spotted vs large mouth bass. You are not the one who just wants to sell us $2 a piece of hook, $3 a piece of plastic, or $50 a spool of line. Subscribed!

    Just went through this yesterday. The shallows was empty so went out a little deeper. Started to get em on the wacky rig but it took forever to get down. So started throwing a chatterbait and slow rolled it. Hooked what looked like a 6 but my darn dog was sitting in the net. By the time I moved him the fish threw the hook. Two lessons learned. First go deeper like you said. Second be ready with the net. Darn dog lol

    just received one of my new favorite rods the balance series with the free rod sleeve. Paired with a revo x 7:1:1. the rod is a 7 foot m h it feels wonderful. Have another one in 7'3 mh on the way will pair with a pro max. Thanks Brain for your advice think i will love them. and probably going to order a white bird to pair with another pro max. You are one of my favorite you tubers keep up the good work

    At first I was goin to say whaoo Brian,then I listened and agree totally,I fish Cal and this time of year at Clear Lake the beds are easy to find and I'll use a white 3/8 jig and white tail,it just pisses them off,I see an open patch in the reeds,maybe a little shade splash a weightless wacky right in the middle,I got an 8-3 in an anglers choice tournament that way,1250.was a good fish,great show

    I appreciate that you give so much insights on your fishing , your baits, and how to use them Brian. There's no secret to any lake, river, pond, boat launch area that would give you, or any other angler the edge to catching big fish. Keep doing what you do, and your blessings will come, because you "share", and not hold things secret. Your fishing career will progress. Your success will come from your honesty, openness, and knowledge of the sport of Bass Fishing!

    What would you say about fishing uo North? I'm in Rhode Island. It's still chilly over here. I woukd probably have to say that the water has to be maybe low 50's. Possibly high 40's. If I were to guess.
    I actually tied on a wacky rig today. But didn't throw it much. But I did try.
    Whatch-ya think B-Lat? Give me some ides.

    Absolutely. Wacky rig is good for skipping docks and that’s all I use it for. Shaky head can stay in place better and the wind doesn’t effect it as much and that matters for bed fishing.

    @chrisbray3236 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Same thing happens in fly fishing. Anglers get hung up on dry flies on the surface. But 90% of a trout's diet is underwater, in the lower third of the column. So why are you casting a #20 mayfly when you haven't seen a riser in hours? Sure, you'll get one to rise and take every now and then, but...
