The Tiny Child Rig - Best Pre-Spawn Finesse Technique- How to Rig

If you enjoy smallmouth fishing with a ned rig, but are tired of it getting hung up, you may want to try this smallmouth bass fishing tip. My favorite bass lure is the Tiny Child Rig. In this bass fishing tip video, I explain my version of the Tiny Child Rig. This bass rig gets its name because it's so easy to fish, a child could do it. Don't let the simplicity fool you though, this rig will flat out catch bass. This setup is similar to a ned rig or a nikko rig, but it is a better weedless version. It is my favorite method to catch smallmouth bass. I have had success fishing it on both lakes and in the river.
I didn't mention it in the video, but I fish it in on 20lb braid to a 6lb fluorocarbon leader. I typically use a 6'3" medium heavy, fast action rod.
I hope this helps you catch more fish. If it does please leave us a comment.
God Bless and tight lines!

HA! Had to be one of the better jumping bass videos I've seen. That thing went flying out of the water!

[@lexwaldez]

I'm going to try this in our creek full of smallmouth. I think they're going to love it. Thanks so much!

[@FISHINGWITHFRISBY]

It is smallmouth candy. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

[@RogerFordSuperRog]

As a guy who loves smallies, thank you for the tip!

I with you. IMO, no better fishing than smallmouth fishing.

[@RogerFordSuperRog]

@@FISHINGWITHFRISBY I know guys prefer the size of largemouth, but it's the fight of the feisty smallies I love. Like hookin' a freight train!

[@davidking2844]

Well done,and we been told it was the quiver on the fall.Just killed that theory 😎

[@FISHINGWITHFRISBY]

It works several different ways. A very versatile bait.

[@jaydee15003]

Will have to give this a try. I like how you just used a regular nail instead of suggesting buying a specific fishing nail weight.

[@FISHINGWITHFRISBY]

Thanks for watching. Hope it works for you. I have caught a lot fish on it.

[@YettiFrog]

Thanks for the info.. really helpful.. Ned rigs are a problem for me in the river and creeks too

[@loganman1364]

Shad raps are great too

[@bol-anonfishing4791]

Very informative. I will try the tiny child rig in my set up. full support. be safe always.

[@FISHINGWITHFRISBY]

Thank you for watching. I really appreciate it.

[@bol-anonfishing4791]

@@FISHINGWITHFRISBY welcome

[@BigBaitPosse]

Good video Brad. I’ve never fished that rig. Not a big finesse guy. Never had much luck on the Ned. like the senko wacky rigged.

[@FISHINGWITHFRISBY]

Appreciate it. It will definitely catch fish. I depend on it too much. I am going to try learn something new this season.

[@AddictedAngler]

Small so love it

[@brettoetting]

I’ve done a version of this but the weight is a screw lock with a splitshot crimped on the end. Basically end up with a small screw-in weight. I use it for a compact/finesse punch rig.

[@airecraft1]

That’s something I haven’t seen before I’ll see if snakehead like it. I subbed your channel

[@FISHINGWITHFRISBY]

Thanks for watching. Snakeheads are on my bucket list. I don’t know if it will work for them, but it caught some nice smallmouth yesterday.

[@loganman1364]

Ill try this

[@diggersdentysonu.k.m.d8813]

Me and my boy do fishing and will definitely try it out brother u legend

[@FISHINGWITHFRISBY]

Thanks for watching. Good luck.

[@muskietime]

Pro Tip: Use Lunker City Insert Weights (lead) or Z-Man weights. Most nails rust and the rust will speed up the corrosion process on other tackle.
Be well and yep! Great bait.
I personally prefer 3” Senko FAT Worms and start with the 3/64 oz. nail weight size first.

[@FISHINGWITHFRISBY]

Great tip! I’ll definitely give those a try. I am always learning and wanting to get better. Thank you for checking out the video.

[@muskietime]

In 2022, most productive stream smallmouth bass fishing days for me were with:
1/10oz. Z-Man Bullethead Jig and Z-Man BugZ 2.75” (Green Pumpkin).
Be well.

[@samsudinds829]

Hay friends . Good fidio and the best friends

[@perrypogue1123]

What is that rod you’re using? It looked to have a nice flex to it throughout the rod. I’ll get one if I can afford it. Great video and tip. I’ll be trying it soon. Thanks!

[@FISHINGWITHFRISBY]

6' 3" Medium Heavy Fast action Rod. Thanks for watching!

[@markpowell6240]

What’s the exact nail you use ? Size ? Will the head of that nail be too big diameter for bottom of a 3” TRD ?

[@FISHINGWITHFRISBY]

I buy them at Lowe’s. There is a link in the description of the video for the exact nail. They are an 1.25 in underlayment nail. They will work great with a TRD, but the ElaZTech is tough to get a nail in, that’s why I prefer the Yum Dinger.

[@tbh334]

​@FISHINGWITHFRISBY use a lighter to heat them up then for c e the nail into the z man works like a charm. God bless and good fishing

[@bignick47331]

Looks cool so basically it’s just a Neko rig Texas rigged instead of the offset whacky rig interesting I’ll have to give this a try you should try the Neko rig I slay smallies on the river with it also I slay with a shaky head zoom finesse and trick worms

[@FISHINGWITHFRISBY]

Thanks for watching. Yes, it very similar to the Neko rig from what I can tell. I have never tried the neko, I need to tie in on the next time I go.

[@Lancesitton]

cool rig. stupid name lol.

[@fisheyeguy]

Now explain why it’s called a tiny child rig.

[@mightyturtle]

So simple a child could use it.

[@FISHINGWITHFRISBY]

I should have mentioned it in the video, but like Mighty Turtle said, it gets its name from its simplicity. You can’t fish it the wrong way. I have caught fish swimming it, hopping it or just letting in lay on the bottom.
