Welcome back to the YAKSHACK!! Threw another rigging video up> Spend more time fishing, less time hung up by using this weedless technique that our group uses to fish the Nikko Hellgrammite. Hope you find this video useful. Thanks for watching and please share with your friends.
Thank you for that informative presentation. I have fished the hellgrammite from the very beginning and I do it almost exactly the same way most of the time. Definitely fewer snags the way you presented. Personally, I like to use Gamakatsu G-Lock hooks in a 1/0 size. I like the thinner wire hook than most of the regular hooks. But that's just personal preference and the hellgrammite will catch fish just about everywhere no matter how you rig it. Rigging Nikko's new leech bait is pretty much the same.
I really appreciate you stopping by and watching. It’s an honor for the creator of this great bait to watch and drop a comment. I’ll check out those hooks you mentioned and give them a try. Thanks again for making this great bait.
Like this one. Thinking about starting with a 1/16 ounce weight. Easy enough to change with a 1/8 Oz if need be. Anything weedless gets my attention. I’m always casting into weeds,wood or grass.
New Subscriber from Indiana, great Vid! These became my favorite 'go-to' lures in 2021. Indestructible, catch everything that moves. That's a great way to rig them, I've recently started using them also on a Z-Man finesse Bullet head, & rigging them sideways for a better sideways profile. Thanks for sharing!
I haven’t used a hellgrammite since Gapen tackle had one in the 90s. So you don’t peg your sinker down. Do you get hung less with out pegging and does it give better action. Gonna pick some up and give it try. Great video and cool t - shirt. You got wind and we got a ton of rain here in the Ozarks Great tip
Great video...I'm a sucker for rigging videos! Are the Nikko baits made from something like Z-Man's Elaztech? Seems like as stretchy as they are it must be something similar. Have you tried the Z-Man TRD Hogz? Similar buggy type look...wondering if I need both.
I do a similar setup but I Carolina RIg them so the Helgy can move around a bit more. You can get a 10pk for $4 here: floofynewfietackle.com/products/3-floating-hellgrammitte-qty-10-pack

Easy to follow information! Thanks for the video!
@@DCOutdoors thank you
This rig has changed my life…hahaha ! Not even kidding. Thanks Mike !
Awesome! I’m glad it’s working great for you Don!

That would work for sure. No problem with adjusting the weight. Thanks for watching
thanks for the video got to rig some up to fish local river tight lines
They are awesome
I love the Nikko baits! The craws ,leeches,, and Winnows are some other amazing baits toothed! They last forever and catch fish! Great rigging video!
They are by far more superior to most plastic baits on the market as far as durability and fish catching. We love those baits.
thanks for the video. Came here from Buck Tales Outdoor's channel.
Oh you're more than welcome. Thanks for checking it out. I'll stop by your channel. I hear Don mention you a bunch.
I love this lure, & I love this method. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching. Hope it helps you out!!
Gotta hookem in the center to get that Natural wiggle.
I've used them on ned rigs and they have done the job, but I may try this peg-less setup this summer through grass.
yep. I'm sure a neg setup would work well in lakes and ponds. River fishing we are dealing with lots of rocks and wood
Great video Mike, I’m loving the Hellgrammite but this looks like a great way to rig this and not get hung up.
send me an email with your address at bigbaitposse@charter.net and I'll send you some weights and you can try it. Might work for you, might not.
I appreciate the tip Mike, I'll have to try this out next time.
Yep. Good deal. Give me a yell when you want to hit it again
@@BigBaitPosse I’d love to. Maybe we can get together in June when some of my daughter’s softball slows down a bit.
I’ve never even used a hellgrammite. I am going to order some now.
Nikko hellgrammites are the best hellgrammites on the market. They are smallmouth candy and last forever!! Thanks for watching!
You will like them.....absolutely. Once you start using Nikko's products, you will find yourself using them more and more.

Good video, looking forward to trying one of these out.
Best hellgrammite on the market!! They last forever.

No. We do not peg the sinker. I believe the way we rig it gives it a more natural look. Especially in current.
@@BigBaitPosse thanks gonna try it that way
Thanks for info
you are welcome
Appreciate your video.
Thanks for watching. Glad you liked the video.

I think so. No I have not tried those
Great video!! Can I use the Nikko with circle hook?
I would think you could. I’ve never tried that
@@BigBaitPosse yeah I never tried it but trying to see how to hook the plastic lure on circle hook 🪝
@@iamalemontree May just have to nose hook it so you don’t lose the action of the tail wanting to stand up. ??? Not sure on that
@@BigBaitPosse thanks 😊 I think that would be the best option
Wasn’t this a Texas rig ?
Yes. The sliding weight is the key to keeping it from
Staying hung up
yehaaaw
You would do better to show the rigging over a white paper
Thanks for the tip
