now I am no free rig master, but I have been using it for about a year. The baits I use are very specific dolive beaver 7in or 4in, bull gill, dolive sticks, bulls hog daddy, bull slide, jaco bee, sakamata shads, dolive gill, fat ika, Berkley power glider, crosstail shad and the BFE those are the baits I like I know a lot lol I like to work the rig with little tiny pops or slow dragging. You can also rig certain baits backwards and they will glide away from the weight. Keep on catching em pumped for the new Pod!
I've talked about it last year. I still do it & I use it a lot this time of year. Hook selection depends on what you are fishing and what you are using be a creature bait, drop shot, or worm. Creature is definitely EWG. Worm, well its up to your preference. If im using a drop shot bait without the rig. It's a finesse and I'll use a wacky worm hook due to being more stealthy. I can give a kid a free rig setup and turn them lose and watch them figure out what works for them. Others who have never had much of an interest, get a few fish then want to learn more. It's an endless way to fish for sure
I just found this video, and I am just starting to use the free rig, and you are correct about the weight, but also I have been using the ZMAN Fattyz and a light wire Gamakatsu hook,so it allows for more buoyancy… I realize this video is a year old so I hope you do another one now that you should have more experience…Subbed, and following the channel and podcasts👍😜👍🍀🎣🍀
Thanks for the tips! Going to try with a Nikko hellgrammite! They float pretty good think more then Zman plastics. What was your ML spinning rod? Thanks again!
Appreciate this vid. I've tried the technique a few times, but it's been frustrating to me. I don't know what the bait is doing, & I don't know how much line is floating up. Any tips? Thx again for the vid.
Start by keeping a taught line to the weight and every cast let a little bit more line out by just lowering your rod tip. That way you know how much slack you have in the line
hows it do with braid line ? is this best to use on non braid line due to it sliding and likely be scraping the bottom, i know braid lines dont like to be scuffed up on rocks and things and breaks off easy
Dude. Your rig has a fundamental flaw: you need to put a BEAD in between the end of the hook and the weight. Otherwise, when you said the hook, it’s bye-bye fish. don’t use glass bead cause it will break at the time you set the hook.
Casual breakwall fishin! Have you used the free rig?

This guy watches the hook up tackle ☝🏾
Burly fishing videos always make the day a lil better!

Z man trick shotz with a size 2 mosquito hook and 3/16ths casting sinker will give you the floating up effect that you're looking for on slack line
Never used it but it’s an idea for all those teardrop weights I got sitting in my tackle box 😂.
Your jumbo TRD is going to want to float. I think that's a killer presentation 👏
Well I could see putting some bobber stops so it could be like a power drop shot
Definitely want to try out the free rig.

Thanks for the sub! We will definitely use this again this year! The zman gremlin looks like a great option for free rigs too!
Killer man I'm using this for some scared larger size smallies!
The 4x4 crocs in full affect 😁😁😁
Safety mode for cutting wood too
When you see the line move, what side do you usually set the hook? Thanks.
Up and away from the fish typically
Thanks today I had one get away I don’t think I set the hook upwards I’ll try it next time. Thanks a lot for your help
Think I will try this with a Zman bang stikz. Looks like an interesting technique
프리리그에서 중요한건 웜의 모양이나 브랜드 보다 바닥 장애물 지역을 찾았을때 스테이와 장애물을 돌파할때 돌발적인 움직임에서 입질을 제일 많이 받을수 있다..스테이!! 입질을 느끼고 슬랙라인을 충분히 회수하고 로드를 내려 챔질 하는게 프리리그에서 제일 중요한 부분
Use a cylinder style weight instead of the casting style weight to hit less snags!
Thanks for the tips! Going to try with a Nikko hellgrammite! They float pretty good think more then Zman plastics.

I’ve been debating this with the Bouyant Elaztec baits. Using this with a Zman Goat in pads may be wicked!
The best thing about the free rig is that you can use it with any plastic

Those bugs work great on the free rig.
hows it do with braid line ? is this best to use on non braid line due to it sliding and likely be scraping the bottom, i know braid lines dont like to be scuffed up on rocks and things and breaks off easy
Fluoro works well, but yeah, watch for fraying
“There’s no wrong way to do this.” 😳 Well I guess I use the free rig now. 🤣
LOL
You should fish a wobble head more. It’s like a weedless squarebill.
Deal
If you feed it slack and let it fall on slack line that’s when it shines
I would like to see a weightless fluke and the free rig competition between the two of you.
Sounds fun
put a bobber stop in front of the knot to protect it.
Good call!

Your baits should glide
