The Most Reliable Texas Rig in My Tackle Bag (Berkley Pit Boss)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2024
- The Berkley Pit Boss is one of the most reliable lures in my tackle bag. I've caught countless numbers of fish on it. It's a great rig to pitch around flooded timber, drag across rocks, pitch under docks, etc. I got out just before the storm hit and caught some good fish on the Pit Boss. Thanks for watching feeshin friends!

I've been using these for years and slaying with them, very slept on bait
Agreed man! They are overlooked for a lot of the new stuff out. Thanks for watching 👊👊👊
Love that you’re now posting links to the gear/baits you’re using. Makes shopping easy at tackle warehouse! And I’m sure helps support your channel...
You're welcome! I've had a ton of people ask me to do it. Nope, doesn't support my channel at all. I don't have any sponsors or affiliates. I just do it to help folks out 👊👊👊 Thanks for watching!
I got a bag of these and haven’t gotten to use them yet. Been watching since 6.6k and now you’re at 22k, crazy. Always learn something and awesome video as always!
I know man. I'm blown away by the support of folks. Thanks for watching 👊👊👊
That is how I have always rigged my pit boss on the t rig... didn't know until you said something that I was doing it upside down. Makes more sense to me to use those ribs in the plastic to protect the hook. Great video again bud!
Agreed. I've tried both ways and just prefer it rigged "wrong" Haha. Thanks for watching and good luck on the water 👊👊👊
Chris Gerke I’ve always rigged them that way too. If it’s wrong, I don’t wanna be right. 😝
I'll take dinks over getting skunked all day long!!
For sure! Catching is still fun compared to a skunk!
I've never thrown a pitboss, might have to give it a try. Great trips Debo!
CHRIS! Thanks for watching brother. They are not a fancy lure but they have treated me well over the years. Hope you and the fam have a happy 4th!
@@DEBOSFishing you have a good 4th as well!
We found you accidentally - but are glad we did! Mav can't get enough. After watching - he wanted to start his own YT journey. --Pops
I love the good ol' pitboss. I use it for everything. Great movie
Yep, it's a proven lure man. It has saved my day a few times! Thanks for watching 👊
a fish is a fish. ur a great teacher
Nice fish!!! Love when they congregate along the banks like that.
Yes! Makes it much more manageable for us bank anglers 🤣👊
The Pit Boss is one of my all time favorite craw style baits. The action just can't be beat.
My favorite bait for flipping cover, the Pit Boss!!!!!!! Great durability, simple, doesn't get caught up and best of all very very affordable. I always have a green pumpkin and black and blue pit boss in my bag.
Agreed. Not a bunch of stuff to get tangled. Compact little lure to toss around. Those are good color choices!
You can't beat the price either at 3.29!! I caught my 10lb PB a few years ago on lake Amistad on one. I was using 10lb seaguar red label too and it held up like a champ!
Thats my home lake! There are some true monsters out there. Just got into bass fishing and I have yet to have a bad day out at Lake Amistad
Dang! I would love to get a DD bass some day! It's a killer little lure. Thanks for watching!
@@vickyr7072 I live in the hill country on the Guadalupe river. My uncle G took me down there when he got his boat. I'm a bank fisherman now. Lol I wish I was closer that's for sure. My biggest river fish has been a 7.
@@bdaquatics7584 Man I miss the guadalupe. Tubed it a couple times but now the fishing thing is giving me another reason to go back: to look for those Guad bass! 7lbs is crazy dude! Congrats! My PB right now is probably around 3.5 (didnt weigh it but it was a chunky beast) in some shallows at the lake. Hope you'll get to come back out, Amistad is a cool place.
We need dinks, fishing would be too boring if every fish was a 10lb
Peter Aksberg never thought about it that way!
If every fish was 10lbs. then the 10 pounders would be dinks.
Agreed. Then you would want 20# fish 🤣
DEBO'S Fishing I still want 20lbs fish though 😂
@@andrewfavreau4409 me too 🤣👊
I used to throw those Pit Boss baits a lot, they really are money for many different presentations. Good vid dude!
This is true. Some yet very effective little soft plastic. Thanks for watching man!
Awesome! got on the fish! well done!
Thanks man. It was a fun and successful trip 👊
You showing me the Pit boss, now I have 4 bags for pre-spawn and punching season!!!
Ordered 1oz tungsten weights for our small ponds that need punching here in full on summer!!!!! #feeshingfriends
Great adjustment! I use Missle D-Bombs as trailers, but never remember to fish them Texas rigged.
Yes! The a-bomb is another very solid choice! I need to drag those out soon!
Thats my FAVORITE soft plastic. Pit boss,zoom flukes,and frogs.Thats all i need to live lol
Yessir! The pit boss is an oldie and still a goodie!
I watched this video a couple of years ago and while I was scouting places on a friend's lease, I thought of the Pit Boss. Lots of small trees and wood just like this.Thanks for the TW link below. Did extremely well with them on a nose screw weighted texas rig and a Tokyo rig. So thanks for that. Hope you get fishing weather soon Debo. I know you are ate up with cabin fever.
Any day your catching fish is a good day
Agreed 100% my man! Thanks for watching 👊
The fish don't care what way u run the good ol pitboss its such a great bait love your vids bro thanks 🤘
I just started watching your videos earlier today. I subscribed immediately and I've learned a lot. Keep 'em coming lol
Thanks man, appreciate you becoming a #verifiedfeeshinfriend 👊👊👊
I recently started watching your channel, and i just saw you are the creator on the rise in the trending section. good job!
Thanks man, that was a huge surprise. Appreciate you watching my channel 👊👊👊
Deeebooooo, that was hilarious! U caught the 1st fish and knocked him out at the same time!
Hahah didn't mean to. He got his frequent flyer miles 🤣👊
Just tried the green pumkin with purple pit boss at my local pond, first cast, got nailed and missed the hookset, second cast, caught my first bass in about 3 weeks. Thank you sir for showing this bait
Maybe 2 weeks, felt like it was forever in between catches lol
Yes! That's awesome man! Glad you're having luck with it! Tight lines 👊
Your way of rigging makes a lot of sense.
Great. Now I gotta take the pit boss to the lake today. Happy dinkin feeshin friend.
Yes! Go put the pit boss to work! May the dinks be with you 🤣👊
Great vid Debo! You are one lucky dude that can go to all these different lakes and not see any other fisherman. Out this way, a pier like that would be shoulder to shoulder. Keep the sweet vids coming! Still trying to catch my first on a pit boss bait.
Keep tossing them man. The Texas rig has really been a fish catcher for me. Good luck on the water!
Thank you on the tips on casting. Got my first two casting reels and love it.
You're welcome! Good luck on the water!
Firm believer in pit boss
The black/blue is my go to.. NEVER fails in my region
When I get these I buy all the black/blue packs
South GA
Also do an immediate retrieve on top water
Just can’t beat these things.
Yeah man. It's an older lure but still flat out catches fish! Thanks for watching!
Agree Pit boss is very underrated
For sure! Tried and true! Thanks for watching 👊
Seriously is a SOLID and DIVERSE bait
Completely agree my man!
@@DEBOSFishing hey bud shoot me an email mikeluff420fishing@gmail.com
The two best baits to use for bass, is that pumpkin pit boss, and the chrome rattletrap with the blue edge paint and red dot tip, also if you paint a thin chartreuse line down the side of that rattletrap it makes it that much more of a killer bait, but when nothing is working, go to one of these two baits, and you WILL get a bite. 🤠👍
His hook sets are so satisfying
Love a t-rig hookset! Thanks for watching brother 👊
Hey Debo, I loved your video.
Keep up the good fishin days,
Frank
I love your videos! I'm a beginner bass fisherman and you help me learn a lot of stuff
Awesome, glad my vids have helped!👊👊👊
I agree! I’ve caught my PB Largemouth with a pitboss on a weighted swimbait hook Texas rigged. I also Rig it the same way you do. I actually thought that was the proper way lol
the weighted hook gives it a completely different action, I've actually heard lots of people like doing that, Steve Parks does it with all the Rage Tail baits. I'm gonna have to try it out!
Hahah I'll keep on rigging it wrong along with you brother. Thanks for watching!
Good ole pit boss, my first fav bait.
They still slay!
You know I have a stack of Pit Boss and Pit Boss Jr. Probably my favorite trailer for sure
Yeah, it's a darn versatile little lure. Thanks for watching brother 👊
You make me wanna try the texas rig more.
It is definitely one of my confidence rigs! Thanks for watching man!
Comfortable and fun to fish with. Super fast retrieve. Haven't had any serious backlashes, and the small ones I have had were my fault.
My tactic lately for spring fishing has been to use a chatterbait to fish lots of water to find an aggressive male fish. He'll attack it every time but won't always bite it or loses interest after several casts. Then keep switching lures until I get the big female. At least that's my theory of what's happening, can't see them. Got a 4-lber on my second cast and first time trying the Pit Boss.
Nice fish! Seems like fun!
Thanks! It was a fun outing! Thanks for watching 👊
Pitboss is what i use most. Awesome bait and cheap too! Watermelon orange fleck has been my go to lately.
Agreed! Yeah, watermelon is a good one too. Thanks for watching 👊
Ever since the beginning of summer nothing but dink’s too. The ponds I fish are connected to a river by culverts (old gravel mine) and they keep raising and lowering the release. Should be done now but the bite has been off. Lakes are all high which is great but I’m fishing areas 20ft above where I’m used to. Long story short I feel like I’m fishing these areas for the first time all over lol
Yeah, it can be tough when the water gets really high. Have to search around and find the new places for them to hide! Good luck man👊
I pitch with my strong hand and rrel with my weak hand but i am sure that you wil find this idea of not having to swatch grips after the cast makes for a much more enjoyable fishing day... You Go Dawg...
I use both left and right handed reels. My left arm is my strong arm. However, I like left handed reels for cast and retrieve lures. Thanks for watching!
Pit boss is always my goto
Tried and true winner man!
Debo's Just bought the green pumpkin and purple.Also Blue and Black fleck Pit Boss's. Walmart are selling them for 2.49 for 8. They are 4.5 inch. I am stocked up on lures and soft plastic's that I lost or used up. Thanks, for this great video! SHAWN in Indy.
Nice! Still love those things! Good luck this year!
@@DEBOSFishing My buddy and me. Really enjoy your video's. He asked me if you have a day job or you just do the channel thing full time. We are like you and Randizzle. We also noticed you wearing KastKing shirts and hats. Are they your main sponsors or you on your own? Thanks for your replies! SHAWN
@@shawnbeck2303 haha thanks man. Nope, I work full time, this is just for fun. Nope, I don't have any sponsors or partners.
@@DEBOSFishing Thanks, Debo's! Just watched your lure painting. Awesome work man! Do you sell those BlueGill colors. My buddy would die if I scored one. He would be super Jealous. What do you say Debo's. Want to help me out? SHAWN
@@shawnbeck2303 I haven't sold any yet, may do that in the future. Glad that folks line them 👊
Yup
That’s how I rig my pitboss
Good stuff
Boom! Glad to see I'm not alone 👊👊👊
hell yeah fishing friend!
My man👊 Thanks for watching!
Funny you say that "DEFINITELY" my most reliable as well.
Pitt Boss f'n RULES!!!
Good fishing Debo! Some GOOD ones this time!
Yeah, found some nice fish! Thanks for watching!
I rig my soft plastics upside down as well. That small channel helps cover the hook great.
I agree 100%. Thanks for watching man!
The Rage Menace is my go to if I need a bite. Never fails.
Yeah, that's a darn good one too. The rage craw is another I love. Thanks for watching man!
DEBO'S Fishing wish they made a 5inch version of the menace. Better flipping and pitching bait.
I’ve caught more bass and pike pitching and swimming a texas rigged pit boss over the past 5 years than just about any other bait I have. It’s just freakin money! Hope they never stop making them. I’ve stocked up just in case.
I know, they flat out catch fish man. Thanks for watching 👊👊👊
Crushing it!! Love the pit boss. Old faithful. :)
Yeah, was a fun trip. Yep, the pit boss is a producer! Thanks for watching!
Luv the judo chop with the left palm on mr bass. Lol.thst was a fatty.just saw a vid and Guy caught a snakehead in my local lake.1600 acre reservoir.they have big muskie too
Lol
Yeah, the quick pop is great to get the hook out. Nice, I'd like to get on some big muskie!
I've recently been watching your videos for the past month or so and I have to say you have to be my one of my go to channels for fishing. I've enjoyed every video you've posted and I'm hoping to get out and fish some this summer. Just recently purchased a Whopper Plopper and a topwater Frog and hope to get some fish even if they are those DEBO dinks.
Thaks man, I appreciate that a lot! Any topwater fish are fun. Dinks or donks... catching is catching. Tight lines man!
Nice man! They’re hittin the pitboss black and blue flake at my hole right now
Nice! Keep on em! Hope you get some biggins!
Love those baits too, definitely have become one of my go-to baits! Just tied one on getting ready for fishing tomorrow 😁
Yes! Hope you catch a toad on it man. Thanks for watching!
Nice fish Debo 👊🏻 those were some nice bass man. Awesome video 👍🏻
It was a fun trip out. Thanks for watching man 👊👊👊
Flooded Vegematation! I always cringe when I see a line go into vegatation, but..you know..RIP to many of my baits and lures lol. Awesome vid maestro!!
Haha yeah just have to beef up the line. I always try to get where others won't 🤣👊
Excited to try these a little more on my upcoming trip this week, such a cool bait!
Heck yeah, put them to work! Good luck!
@@DEBOSFishing I texas rigged it and got a smallmouth, but the biggest success of the trip was going through 6 BAGS of these things as trailers for a chatterbait, I caught 220 fish in 6 days, including the biggest largemouth of my life!
@@crashbomber dang man, that's insane! Amazing week of fishing for you!
Man I love pitching. Love it. Hard to do for me this time of year 15ft to 20ft clear water and very little good cover.
Yikes. Sounds like time for that drop shot thing 🤣 I love pitching too! If you're ever in Iowa, you've got a place to stay!
DEBO'S Fishing Man we might just do it. Do some off shore stuff.
@@BassGeek I need all the help I can get brother 🤣👊
One of my most favorites of all time, don't know why I stopped using em. About to go back, luckily I'm stocked up with em!
Great video debo, solid texas riggin for sure! Keep up the good fishin bro!
Thanks man, it was a fun day. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video, pit boss coming through.
Thanks man. Yeah, the ole pit boss saves the day again 🤣👊
Yeah man! Same dock I caught my PB! Gotta meet you out there again soon!
Yessir! We gotta get out soon broham!
Nicely done, Debo. Wouldn't mind a video with that Choppo you unboxed ... unless I missed it already. Hearing a lot of good things about them, and always value your opinion.👍😎
You'll be seeing it in action in a few vids coming up! Stay tuned!
Hahaha....that fish catch was hilarious!
Haha thanks for watching my man👊
Like your videos keep them coming!
Appreciate that a lot my man👊👊👊
Debo catchin Debo fish!!!🤔🤪😄
It's what I do 🤣👊
From Debo Dinks to Debo Donks! Nice fish, I had a lot of success with the Big Texan bit boss during spawn this year. Bought them as a trailer for a jig and turns out they were juice on a Texas rig.
Yeah, I found a few chunky fish! Yes, they work great as a jig trailer too! Thanks for watching man 👊
Great tips. Thanks.
You're welcome and thanks for watching 👊
Nice bite man!
Thanks man, it was a fun trip!
I also really like this bait. I have used the smaller one in creeks for smallies. I like green pumpkin and the craw color with the orange belly. 👊👍
I love using perfection and perfection craw in creeks around my area, 3” is money
They definitely are fish catchers. Thanks for watching!
Pit boss and V&M J-Bug my top plastics
I haven't tried the J-bug but I love that Pit Boss!
Looked like you were having tons of fun. I wish I could have been with you! I guess I’ll have to find and try the pit boss.
Keep up the great work! A baby bull shad video would be sweet!!
I've never used any of those. My swimbait game is pretty lackluster 🤣 I'll keep an eye out for one!
You wereon a roll today!
It was a darn fun outing! Thanks for watching 👊👊👊
killed it this time. way to go. 👍🎣
I managed to wrangle a few good fish 🤣👊👊👊
@@DEBOSFishing 🎣👊👍
Pitboss is my goto jig and chatterbait trailer love it!
Yeah, works great on jigs too!
I like the black and blue Pit Boss on a black and blue Chatterbait it's been a good fish geter for me
Nice! Yeah, the black and blue is a good color too!
Don’t worry, Debo. The fish don’t care which way you rig your pit boss 😉
I like how the handle looks on that reel.
It's the aftermarket cranking handle I got on clearance. Probably my favorite handle out of all of my reels...right there with the WINN grips that Lew's makes!
Dude, legendary hookset into the dock! Been there and done that. 😂 Love your content, man. Realized I've been watching your stuff without giving a sub. Facepalm moment. Subbed.
Hahah yeah, didn't mean to give him frequent flyer miles.🤣 Thanks for becoming a #verifiedfeeshinfriend 👊👊👊
Awesome video thanks for the video
The thanks goes to you for watching 👊
looking forward to rod review and the reel
For sure brother. I'm going to drive out there and test that green reel of yours. I'm very intrigued 🤔 🤣 Hope you're doing well man👊
Thanks for the video!
And thank you for watching!
My VERY FIRST T-Rig/creature bait catch came on the pit boss! In this crazy bright orange color with a bit of black on the “body”. Can’t remember the exact name for the color. But Berkeley really does seem like it’s a very slept on brand for bass fishing. I know they practically own the trout industry. But their bass baits are great too!
Nice catches
Thanks! It was a really fun day!
Solid vid dude!!!
Thanks man, appreciate you watching 👊👊👊
I would love to see you try the Lunker City Ozmo. Got it in my MTB last month. It's basically several different baits in one. Would be cool to see all the different ways to fish it.
I've never heard of that thing. I'll have to keep an eye out! Thanks for watching 👊
nice video man i need to throw the old pitboss again... it actually the bait that finished fill the limit on sooner last mont when we won lol
Nice! Yeah, it's a great little bait that produces! Tight lines and say hi to Gandalf for me🤣
@@DEBOSFishing will do man and I think he kinda pissed at me for not come around as much lmao been busy you know I will get picture of him and post it
Dobyns now makes their own reels. ;)
Take a shot every time he says flippin and pitchin
We'd all be under the table drunk 🤣👊
Great video bro!! An pitboss works well. Cant beat the price too!!👊👍
Definitely agree with that. I don't feel horrible burning through a bunch. Wally world had them for $1.99 a while back. I stocked up 😉🤣👊
I'm thinking that rigging it the way you do, once the hook is pushed through by a fish a few times that hole is going to get so shredded, the hook will end up way out of the bait and highly vulnerable to snagging. When you first rig it the way you do, the bend of the hook is hugged nice and tight and, it stays in place. After a bit you'll have to bury that point into something.
Nice brother 👍🏻
Thanks man, appreciate you watching 👊👊👊
