I find that bringing the hook point up closer gives me more hook exposure & more hookups. I don’t mind sacrificing a cheap lure or two to find where the snags are.
I slammed the fish with that
He’s not using the correct hook, prob one of the best hooks to use is a Gamagatsu with the right choice of size. The Gamagatsu has a paticular bend in it that rests the tip of the hook firmly against the top of the shad, or in the case of most bass anglers would be the fluke. The hook he is using is prob ok for open water. Good instructional video though.
You can also kill the weakfish with that type of shad! Also, if you fish saltwater and want a great bait fish trap, check out the You Tube video for the Collapse-A-Trap. I haven’t paid for bait in 3 years and the thing fits in your tackle box too.
On a shad that big you need a big hook like 6/0 thru 8/0.
what size hook you use on it though
WOW and no weed on the hook! I’m so tired of the weed… THANKS A LOT!
gonna try it tomorrow…
Similar, execpt Texas rigging usually leaves the hook point inside the rubber to keep it snag-less.
he mean texas riging
very good explanation
kinda like a texas rig
new haven harbor is a great place to fish. I used to flyfish for striper up there… i fish jersey and delaware these days. This will certainly work- ive caught several fish there in the past on a similar setup with “saltwater assassins”. I would rig these plastics with a carolina rig, as if fishing for largemounths… God luck
Not sure the exactg size. I’d say 10″ or so.
We caught a couple Striper on a 1oz lead head with a 5 in fish trap swim bait; I like that rig you showed/ Im gonna try it.
what size was that rubber shad?
Just strike as you normally would. The point is already outside the rubber body. If the fish strikes hard enough and you have a sharp enough hook it usually hooks itself.
Of course but you might want to use a dark color at night instead.
i live in Connecticut and i fish in the new haven harbor , would this work at night ?
thnx 4 demonstrating how to do it.
how do u hook a fish like that when it bites. do u just yank it up?
Don’t see why this or a similar style of rubber wouldn’t work. Depends on the conditions.
can i use this lure to catch large mouth bass or pecock bass in south glorida?
I don’t see why not.
Can i use it with pike?
Do you think a herring would stay alive long rigged like that?
