Gotta love it when there’s a catch in the middle of the demo!! 🥰
Thanks as always for helping us all get better at this stuff!!
Yeah that was fun.
I absolutely love your videos!! I lived in East Tennessee for 30 years and fished Douglas and Cherokee lakes. I wish I had known about this rig then. I know about it now though, thanks to you! Appreciate all you do for us weekend fishermen!! Keep you line tight!!!!
I love Douglas and Cherokee is ok too. hahahaha Hey I appreciate what you Geeks do for me.
Man how have I not seen this channel. Good stuff, great host, I'm excited to check out more content! Thanks Bass Geek!
Thank you for finding me. Hahaha
I appreciate your time in making videos and helping me learn from all your knowledge I just started bass fishing this year at 38 years old and I have a lot of catching up to do
Hey it all comes to time on the water just enjoy it and don’t let it get to ya when it sucks and it will suck a lot lol
Great idea! Love your videos. You've definitely helped me become a better fisherman.
Thank you now If I could only do the same for my self. lol
Thank you for taking time to make these videos. Much appreciated!
I love doing it and plus I'm fishing anyway right.
Great video Hank and nice seeing you getting back into it. I hope all is going well with the house fix up as well.
Man we got fishing video's coming and all kinds of goodies. The house is about done I just need to do some clean up and paint.
I don't know what took me so long to subscribe.
Your videos very informative and they always leave me wanting to get back on the water.
Thanks for sharing.!
Heck yeah that’s what I want to hear!
I appreciate you Hank! Thanks for the tips and making the videos!
I appreciate you Bryan. You Geeks have changed my world.
I have heard of this technique Hank, but have never fished it yet. Thanks for the demo and showing us how its done. I will be trying this technique next time I am out on the water.
It's a good one for sure.
Bass Geek you the man!! Seriously though, love your content. Always look forward to your videos. Thanks 👍.
Hey thank you so much. I'm honored and excited that you like and support the channel.
Really love the tip videos. Thanks for sharing the knowledge with us.
Thank you I love to do it and I hope we get to sneak a fishing video in soon.
Awesome video as always Hank! I put a bead between the sinker and hook to protect them knot and adds a little click clack. Tight lines brother!
I like that tweak
Been experimenting with the free rig with no success as of yet, but still trying. Good video Hank. ✌🏻😎🎣
Get ya some floaters.
Great video as always. Can't wait to try it
Good luck it catch'em.
Thanks for sharing..always helpful..
Anytime I love talking fishing.
Great content !
I’m definitely going to try this out once the lakes up here thaw out!
Yup I hope it's soon for ya.
@@BassGeek sadly not for another couple months! But I love watching creators like you.
It gets me fired up for the season!
i’ve been struggling to get bites lately i’m gonna try this rig out for sure! love the strike king elaztec baits thanks for the tips 🤝
It's great right now.
Looks like a solid presentation. Thanks for the video Hank
I like it and it scales. So you can finesse it or power fish it.
Always looking for something different or a new technique, appreciate the video! 👍🏻🇺🇸🎣
I appreciate you watching.
Thanks Bass Geek. Just noticed you respond to all your comments, good man , first time watching your videos I'll be back.
Every single one. At least I try!
Great video!!! Like that rig!!! Will be trying that rig for sure!!! Stay safe & God Bless!!
It's something cool for sure.
Very unique tip Hank, I personally haven't seen this tip anywhere! It makes sense, looks real and is easy to do.
It's super easy for sure.
I've always seen people fish the free rig finesse. But power free rig seems just as good if not better. Love that under water footage. Really good how to video.
You know i"m going power fishing. lol
Have try this rig on lake Cumberland this weekend, great video
It will work I have no doubt.
We appreciate you. Thank for the videos.
Thank you so much and I appreciate you all. You don't know how much you guys have change my life and taken me on a wild ride.
Always enjoy your videos
Thanks very much I love making them.
The man, myth the legend!! Great video as always my man
Thanks and I have to be more myth than legend lol.
First time I’ve seen this rig, love it!
Awesome happy to help out.
Love that free rig too bud, I fish it the same way and it will nail some good one's! Great content as usual, keep it up brother!
It's a fun rig Now to mag size it. lol
I've heard of this but never really got to try it yet, thanks for breaking it down and soon as I get off these 60+ hours a week I'll be adding this for sure brother
Shew I'm sorry. I know we can hit 70-80hr weeks at times and man they suck.
Love to fish the free rig , thanks for sharing Hank
Anytime sir.
Love the free rig, some great advice throwing an elastek bait, some other baits I love to throw on one is the Bio Spawn Vile Tube and the Big Bite Baits Fighting Frog
Awesome info! Thank you very much.
Great video 👍
What up Beavis! Hope all is well and thank you.
That’s cool never seen it or fish it. Really cool as always Hank you Rock.
Thank I hope ya catch'em.
Nice rig. Gonna have to try this.
You will like it.
Don't recall ever seeing this like that preciate sharing.COME ON
Thanks and anytime.
I would argue this is closer to and better than a shaker head. Excellent setup!
Yeah sort of
treehuggers …lol. Great vid , Hank! I have honestly never fished a free rig. I have known about it for yrs too. Okok, I’m getting some free rig weights. You rock!!
Thanks and you'll love it. Yeah Tree huggers
Thanks for being the man!
Just doing my best.
Been sitting on some free rig weights for weeks now...was gonna throw a little craw on there, good demo Hank!
Oh a little craw that floats FIIIRE!
I got the same reel. I've really beat on it and it's still like new😁😁😁 and k9 floro is in my mind some of the best cheap line you can spend your money on
You know it. Both are great!
Hey Hank, fall transition is right around the corner & in some places happening now. Fishing will be tough for a bit. Thanks for the great tips. Love this technique!👊
It's about to get good
@@BassGeek man I can’t wait to start cranking!
I love the free rig, it's become one of my new confidence baits! I use a trick worm or a caffeine shad.. if I'm using the caffeine shad I'll let it all sink to the bottom, and then give it a hard jerk with my rod tip in that caffeine shad does a hard dart and then stops because the weight and the line keeps it from going any further than where the weight is. And I've been wrecking them on this rig lately... I posted it on my Instagram as a matter of fact holding a 4lb'r!! Great great bait to fish weed edges or grass lines!!! They come out after it an kill it... 💪
That's some great tips thank you for sharing them with us. I love it man!
Definitely a technique I need to put some time in with. Great video Hank
It just a little different.
@@BassGeek gave it a quick shot earlier in the season but didn’t dedicate much time to it
Hey bassgeek I've been watching you for a long time and I gotta tell ya you are a talented angler and a very good teacher thanks for the videos and the time you spend makeing these videos to help us become a better angler' and bassgeek you are not dumb or ugly bro your a great guy and anybody who does this like you do that means a lot to us. God bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike. Ps I just subscribed to your channel and I hit the like button and the bell so I know what new videos are coming. Thanks again.
Thank you sir very much I love to poke a little fun at myself and get a laugh or two. I'm not the type of guy that would poke fun at others so I'm far game. hahaha Thank you for joining the BassGeek Nation!
@@BassGeek your welcome my pleasure bro you have great content in your videos and I'll keep watching.
Thank you. Struggling to understand why I can’t get a similar effect by letting my Texas Rig sinkers slide freely. Any guidance? Ty.
You might but for the most part it comes down to the design of the weight.
On a Texas rig your the bullet weight is directly connected to the line so I’m when it hits the water the weight curves on the fall. The free rig that drop shot weight falls straight down. No curve on the fall like a Texas rig weight where the weight falls back towards you.
Thank you Hank for the awesomeness content.
Just picked up a grocery sack of trash at my local resevoir. You Rock🙂😉😊
Heck yeah YOU ROCK not me! Thank you.
i been rockin the free rig baby. nice to c u too
Awesome let us in some some tricks
Good tips!
Thanks!
Hank another good bait to use is the game changer lures the eeliminator that frog looking thing with the long tail man it has great action
Yeah man I dig that thing during the spawn
Awesome tecgnique thanks
Thank you.
That was awesome
Thank you very much.
Thanks for the info Hank. I don’t peg my weight on Texas rig but that weight looks like it will slide further than a cone style weight. I will try some of those and a little heavier Thank you
It does that ring make a difference. I was skeptical at first myself
YOU ROCK HANK !!! 🤘🎣💙
YOU ROCK!!!
Great video brother. Definitely gonna give it a dangle #100%
It's a fun little rig
Love the underwater showing how much it floats. I use a zman worm it gets the same floating action
Thanks and yes sir it sure does.
@@BassGeek say hi to debo for me
Got one on my spinning rig with a big TRD great for pressured fish
Nice now that's a great finesse version.
@@BassGeek yes sir got me some this morning 👍
Thanks!
Anytime sir.
I honestly use braid to a long monofilament leader for this rig setup. With a elaztech plastics. I can fish this rig down to 30 ft and have the bait fall or rise up to 15 ft off the bottom
Yeah I have been using a co-poly lately and like it much better.
That's on technique I'm still working on but like the way it works.
It’s a great way to catch’em
Good idea
Thanks It catches'em as you can see lol
never tried that but great setup 👌🏻
It's a blast for sure.
Unique way to fish that some bass haven't seen. I like it and so do the bass. 🎣
Yes sir they do for sure.
Keep on rockin’ in the free rig world 🤘🏼
LOL Da na da da!!!!
You might have just added something new to my tackle box, i’ll have to see if i can find some of these weights.
Link with discount on the description
Not tried that set up yet but will real soon. #100%
It's a fun bite.
Hey! You got one on video!! Woohoo! 😂
That's now you know it's a good rig. lol
Hank. Another great video
You make this rig a bit heavier for your deeper water. I’m running a little lighter on medium spinning gear. Your camera work shows the worm dancing like she’s on Solid Gold. That piece should be a million view short.
Be well my friend
Dang I hadn't thought about that but thank you I will make that a short now. hahhahahaha
Definitely going to try this method here in GA. Any recommendations for a slow sinking or floating plastic fluke (if it matters), preferably in a baby bass or ghost shad color? Thanks!!!
Zman makes one and ya can't beat the good ole zoom.
@@BassGeek thanks bro! Yeah I got plenty of zooms and yums for the job. Think imma try the pumpkin seed w/ chartreuse tail with this method. Been productive on the Texas rig, so this approach should keep it the strike zone a little longer with a more natural retrieve and hopefully make my pole go to sleep on the hook set lol
1:35 😂 you've said that last part to me in a comment before. ❤️🌎
You would not believe the times I've just dropped it in the boat an people are like did he just throw that in the lake. lol
@@BassGeek it's about setting an example more than just that little piece of line.
Do a video explaining how to use livescope and what’s fish and what’s not fish
I've got one on the board. I've just been working on getting to know it well enough myself to share it with ya.
Got my Berkeley water dogs & free weights coming the 27th from tackle warehouse lol I'll let you know how it turns out!
Hech yeah let me know for sure.
Great tips ! Thanks for sharing #crankin
Thank you sir. I love it.
It says 31 comments but only one shows? Anyway thanks for the vid and info, always a pleasure to watch you!
All these TH-cam channels I follow are doing this today. Hit those 3 bars next to the X and hit newest comments and they’ll all show up.
Yeah a buddie was saying the same thing. I don't know what is going on. they are all showing up for me.
TH-cam, always F'n something up. hahahaha
Yo BG! Hermano what's your recommendation for the best floating lures for this rig. Gave it a shot but can't seem to keep it up 😂
Anything really. I love zman stuff, Nikko, and Strike King Elztek stuff. Anytime with no salt will do it too.
@@BassGeek thank you good sir!
Bass Geek here GEEKIN OUT ON FREE RIGS! Lol
Oh yah!
Hhhmmm Hank you do a great job sir.
Free weight hhhmmmm will try
Thank you very much.
Well I bought some of those weights you showed haven’t caught a bass yet.
Went back to a cheap bass casting sinker back to catching fish . Guess a lot of this tackle out there really doesn’t catch any more bass than the cheap stuff
Hahaha yeah it’s the weights….
That would be great wacky rigged, or with a z man elztec razor shad
Yes sir.
I like it
It's fun for sure.
Do you always have to shake the slack? Looks like if you hope it to 12 o’clock then it would get slack when it sinks correct? Or do I need to go back to Physics class lmao
Just a little but it will still come up some. If you drag it. Like you said if you hope it it will come back up but you may need to give it just a little shack
Would a sliding t rig with floating plastic essentially do the same thing?
I've tried it but there is more friction in the bullet weight and it's not as smooth I don't think as the small rig on the free weight. So it doesn't seem to float back up as easy.
Great technique and video. And if you never used 3x before.....NEVER EVER EVER put 3x with other plastics EVER! Will melt every other plastic
HECK NO! lol they eat each other.
Would like to see what this rig looks like in deeper water I am not convinced it is nothing more than a glorified Texas rig, although with that weight it should fall straight down.
It does and I’ve tested in the pool the heavier the weight the further the bait ends up away grime the weight. Now water depth also matters. Once you pull the bait down it doesn’t float up as far. Hoops will help but but still not gonna be as high up and the first drop
K9 line floats. It doesn’t sink like fluoro.
You got the wrong kind. If it says Fluoro it is a copolymer. Pro 100 is 100% Fluorocarbon. Trust me I get it I wish they would change the label also. Take that line you have put it on a crank, spinnerbait, or anything moving and tell me you don’t love it after. If it is 15ft or less and a horizontally moving bait try the line you have. You will love it. Chatterbaits, not in grass lol
I remember when free rigging meant something we did at the drive inn movies 😂 #bassgeekforlife
hahahahaha.
Are you Geek enough for the #100percentwatchsquad
I've been doing a fluke on a drop shot lately because I wanted to get that bait off the bottom some. But I'm certainly going to switch to a free rig. I bet it has way less line twist than a drop shot!
Club...squad..close enough there, Hank!🤣
Love it thank you for all you do!
@@BassGeek I'm a firm believer that this world would be a much better place if we all just stopped quarreling and just went fishing! That way, the only arguments would be about "The one that got away".
Can you use it in rivers and creeks
Yes sir just adjust your weight accordingly
Thank you buddy
Tree huggers lmbo.
Still not sure about this rig. Been trying it . Doesn't feel like the bait floats that much. Been throwing the z man floating worm. Rather throw a Tokyo rig or C rig.
Hey every body of water is different and some things work here and not there. As far as floating be sure you have a light hook or the hook will weigh the bait down.
If you did throw it down at least it isn’t a whole spool of 50lb mono.
Hahahah true
I don't like z man elastic soft plastics baits because I bought a pack of need worms and they all got stuck and melted together so I haven't bought any zman soft plastics
Yeah keep them in the pack they will stick even to each other but most of the time you can pull them apart.
Oh god everybody and their brother is going to be fishing this! I swear a man can’t do anything without a bunch of wannabes coming along, you been watching Ben! Uh huh! 😂
Ben who?
Yep you got pants’d as ladybass would say! Thanks for the tips may only use tungsten in nicer waters.
Yeah dang little bas or gills.
#100%
100%
Yoooo
Yooooo back!
A Free Rig is just an unpegged Texas rig, change my mind.
Ehh it is close but you don't get the amount of recoil and float with a bullet weight.
@@BassGeek You're lol I just had to be an ass
Try a wacky free rig...
Shhhhhhh I don't want to tell everything. hahahaha
First
HECK YEAH!! BAM!
I have never seen anything like that before! That's what I like about your videos.
