This guy is like dumping us all his life's knowledge on us this is awesome
@@stopcrying518 lmaooo I'm guessing he cleaned you out at a tournament somewhere... nerd
I like that Texas rig hook in the side tip… Thx!
It amazes me how one man can put so much information in one video you make my brain hurt Randy lol once again thanks for all you do buddy I wish you knew how much you help and do for the fashion industry it does not go unnoticed I will let you know that so keep on keeping on
20 years ago I read an article in
Bassin magazine. Senko was the article. I tried it and it revolutionized my fishing.
Randy I love your videos! Do not change a thing! All fishing, no hype! No flash! Just good content and some great old stories!
Thanks Randy!! You don't know how much your tip's and tricks help my time on the water!! You're doing an awesome job with everything!
Watching patrick Walter's at the bassmaster event at lake fork stare at his live sonar to video game fish..... lol 😆 🤣 o boy where are we going with this sport.
I love fishing stickbaits. I can shove a pack of stickbaits and hooks in my pockets and I don't even have to bring a tackle bag. If I get hung up, oh well I lost a .50 bait and not a $5-10 lure. Stickbaits keep fishing simple and it works.
another excellent video! Thanks Randy!
Great information Randy! Thank you so much for sharing!
That is my all time favorite lure. Thanks for the new tips.
Great tips and great videos🤓thanks for cranking them out😊
Wow Randy, your tips are seriously game changing! Thank you for all this great advice! You’ve definitely helped me more than you’ll ever know!
Awesome Randy, Thank you for your wisdom!! Going to try these tomorrow!!
Always great info from a true OG!!!!
I respect all your tips, Randy. I love, LOVE, fishing a wacky rigged senko. So much so that I feel bad for my other rods/reels.
It's been my experience that o-rings are the way to go. The bait sort of slides up the line somehow after I catch a fish and I seem to get more mileage out of them that way (senkos are about as durable as cotton candy).
Green pumpkin tipped in chartreuse 💯
And oh man, the side hooked texas rig! Brilliant!!Keep up the good work!!
Great info. I’m taking notes !
Keep them coming...
Some excellent advice. This is going to be a game changer
Great tips Randy. Thank you
Randy I really like these videos more and more. Thanks for helping guys like us.
Always something great here for my life. Thx Randy!
Now that's another level! Thank you for sharing! Outstanding!
Thank you, Randy for the master class in stick baits.
Great tips, keep them coming
roughing up the worm at the end like that is such a good move
Awesome info. Great videos. Thanks
I love the information buddy. Thanks. I'll have to use these tricks
Great info here Randy! I've never been a stick bait kind of guy, but for some reason I always have an assortment of them. I'll really give them a shot this year and put these techniques to the test.
Thanks for all your secret tips, I’ll be sure to use the side hook method.
👍
Excellent info. I really need to get better with worms. Youve given tons of other tips on finesse worms too that i need to work on. Thanks!
In the late 1960's & 70's, during the "heyday" of world class bass fishing on Toledo Bend and Sam Rayburn in east Texas, rigging the hook into soft plastic lures, like you demonstrated, was in the was my dad (a guide on T-Bend & Rayburn for 20+ yrs.) always referred to as "skin hooking" the worm. I still do it at times & back then it was the ONLY way we rigged worms and lizards. In the early years we only used 2 brands of worms, Creme - maker of the Scoundrel & a name that will bring back a lot of memories & still a popular manufacturer of soft plastic worms and lizards- "FLIPTAIL"! Creme & Fliptail are both still in business. Great channel Randy. Charter member/subscriber.
I need to try those straight shank hooks. I have been using EWG only. Another excellent video,
Randy I've been using your suggestion on the wacky rig and my fish catching has improved . I retired my O-Ring tool and O rings to my fish museum. Thanks for the tip
Deadly upgrades on your stick baits , talk about sharpening up you fish game . Thanks Randy
Another riggin suggestion worth trying for wacky rigging. 3/8" clear heat shrink, cut in a 1/4" - 3/8" length, placed over the "egg sack" of the worm. place hook through the shrink wrap. For, myself, the action is not effected and the stick worm lasts an incredibly long time . Even after multiple catches.
I’m with ya on all that!!!
Good heavens, where have I been that roughing them up was new to me?! I had not heard 9f that before this video!! 💯🔥of an idea, a real light bulb 💡 moment. THANKS 😊 FOR THE TIP.
This information is golden! Thanks so much! I just subbed you!
Good stuff, thank you!
Great tips. I watch a video or 5 about every day.
Thanks again good stuff
Thank you Randy you tough
I havent used an O ring in over a year. I agree with Randy 100 percent
Great tips, like the hat!
👍👍👍👍👍Thanks Randy....
Thank you, Randy, for sharing your knowledge and experience. Been basically a trout guy up here in Connecticut but I caught a pickerel yesterday on a soft plastic stickbait using your side-hooked Texas rig technique. Thanks for opening me up with your videos. I also appreciate the mention of Tom Brown and your talk about the mental aspects of the game... If you know, you know 🙏
I like black and blue stick baits a lot, but my favorite is a candy grass color. Like the exostick in candy grass.
I'll have to give that perch color senko this year on the bay of quinte. That's one of the main forages here. I've always done well on the white/silver salt n pepper dingers with a 1/4oz weedless wacky hook. I can cover a bit for water and it's still finessy enough. The way a 5" dinger undulates on a 1/4oz on the downfall is deadly. I always get beginners going on this setup because it's pretty simple to fish. Wait for that tick in the line and set em
Thanks for the tips
I'm 100% with you on using a straight shank on wacky rigs, it's the only wat to go. I use Brent Ehler's Gamakatsu g-finesse wacky hook. It's a straight shank g-finesse version of Gamakatsu's B10S hook.
thanks for sharing i'll check them out
@@jimk4267 No problem. They're not cheap though, but the B10S hook is pretty cheap. I used the B10S for years and would tie up wire weed guards on them, but there is a g-finesse weedless model. To me the price is worth taking time to tie on guards. The B10S is stouter than it's g-finesse version.
@@dustinwalker8152 I am currently using a ultra-bite ewg. Have used it for years with pretty good success. Always willing to try something new.
I also tie a weedguard. I use a very small zip ties. I tie it to the perpendicular portion of the ewg. Really works well
I wish I had fished more while living in Sedalia, MO.
I am going to have to try that skin hooking it in the side.. should save a lot of worms and more hook ups .. Thanks again Randy .. the Frye Guy
Love your tips thank you
Two words Randy thank you
Thanks Randy awesome hook trick for my stick baits appreciate everything you and johhny have been doing for us weekend anglers I'm moving there in 30 days and I wouldn't know 3/4.of all the stuff you taught me I'll be there soon Randy to take an on the water lesson with you Randy god bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike
Thx man!
I use heat shrink on my wacky. I can hook them just like you demonstrated and it won’t cut through it like an o-ring because it’s a bit more broad. I quadrupled my stick bait life by doing so!
My first try with the wacky zlinky and no O ring was this morning. I'll never use the O ring for wacky again and I'll probably never buy another stckbait but the zlinky. Thanks for the assist.
senko is muh fave. im so good with a texas rig.
Do all your stick baits that you prefer have salt in them ? Thanks for sharing all your knowledge to us weekend warriors.
Great video Randy. And thanks foremost to your commitment to conservation. I appreciate you for taking your time on that touchy subject so that my (and your) kid will actually have bass left to fish for in 15 years. A question about this video. What's your starting weight range for pitching stick baits to sparse cover in light current? I usually start with 1/4, but I feel like I'm messing up the action. Thanks!
The Japanese anglers are having good success Wacky Rigging Senkos on jig heads. Have you tried that yet? I agree the soft plastic stick baits are the most versatile bait for year-round fishing. Whatever the brand, I fish Yum Dingers mostly, but have fished other brands too...
Thank you for sharing 🍺🎣
Go check out the new vmc crossover rings for wacky rig. Bought them 2 weeks ago and was really impressed. The 6mm is the best for 5” senkos but they also come in a few colors and there green pumpkin color i feel like adds the perfect contrast to a green pumpkin or red flake worm.
Off the subject, but maybe to combat the age of electronics and live scope, tournaments and conservation need to up the size of keeper bass. This could also help some what during the spawning season.
Rough 'em up! 👍
Great video.. I definately dont use these "enough"...
Good video! I think I need to try out the shakey heads more. I also am not a fan of the o ring system. And I question my own color system now lol I read a study somewhere that said bass can see greens and reds really well so those are the colors I always throw. I been throwing this tomato color I found that is like part orange and part green but it's not like split in half the inside is orange and the outside is like a see through green.. pretty sharp looking color. And last year I caught my biggest bass of the season with a bright hunting orange trick worm lol everyone laughed at me in my club and I destroyed them all with it! I also see some other pros throwing pink worms whacky style. Thanks for the video Randy! Always love starting my day out with something to think about!
Thx man!
Hey Randy another tip I save my Texas rig baits that are torn up at the head area and use them for wacky rigs.
Great video randy thanks we appreciate you
👍
Like many anglers I’ve caught numerous fish on a soft stickbait. I’ve fished it Texas rigged with and without a weight and of course wacky rigged but never on a shakey head. When should we use a soft stickbait vs a straight tail worm on a shakey head.
Thanks.
Just a side bar for those who read the comments. If you have a favorite bait soft or hard, buy extras. I'm 66 & been around the block. I can't count the times mfg's have stopped make'n a fav bate.ie powerbait 4" Genesis in oxblood. Other folks oxbld just don't cut it. I still have a dozen packs, listed in my will!
I especially want to thank you for keeping your hand still when you're showing us a bait. I like some other videos you make it really easy to see the bait. Especially that little slot on the back of the Zlinky I believe is to hide the hook point to make it a little more weedless when is Texas rigged. thanks
What I meant to say is unlike some other videos I've seen oh, you make it easy to see the details of the bait.
Thx Guy!
Great tips Randy, THANKYOU! What shaky head is that? You said Davis head??
I've had good luck using heat shrink on my stickworms to make them last longer. I got 10 ft online for cheap so I'm probably set for life. Haha
Light wire worm hook, regular worm hook, or finesse flipping? so many g-finesse out there!
have you tried using shrink wrap for wacky rigging? caught 15 bass using the same stick bait, hook it thru the shrink wrap and bait.
hey Randy if yo dont have shad but rainbow trout and baby bass as the main forage, those colors would work with the same application yeah? and thank you for the ruffing up the plastics bringing the salt up. makes a huge diff as far as the duration of the bite. coarse you knew that. thank you sir.
hey what brand are those salty ass senkos you got sir?
Randy you are best angler And I’m your fan for bass fishing and I have question have you try Gary Yamamoto 3.5 swimbait and what size hook and what line should used please for me and son ok 👍
THANKS
What’s the retrieve with these rigs? Love the videos…subscribed and liked! 😉
Hey randy,how often do you use a wobble head on your soft plastics and what style of soft plastics do you throw them on if you throw it at all?
I ALWAYS have a Senko on my deck, either a green pumpkin or dark blue with green flek. When wacky rigging, I do prefer the O ring set up though. To me, it makes the bait last longer.
👍
Probably a dumb question but I've often wondered if it matters on a laminate which side is up and which is down. Dark on top or on bottom? I usually do dark on top as it falls. Does it actually matter?
Randy, I subscribe to your channel and enjoy and appreciate your willingness to share secrets. I've gained a lot of good knowledge from doing so, the best one so far being how to "skinny hook" a worm. That has really increased my hook-up percentage. However, in watching so many of your videos, I sometimes "don't get the logic". An example can be seen in this video. In one section, you talk about not liking to use a wacky worm o-ring, citing several reasons, one being the "negative visual" aspect. this infers that a bass can be turned off a bite because of a tiny black circle associated with a big hook and worm. Later you state you use a certain color worm when bass are feeding on perch or shad. I can't help but ask myself if a bass can discern the unnatural look of a tiny black ring around a worm, how the heck can they NOT tell the difference between a wacky worm set-up and a perch or shad?? I'm not disputing you, I'm just trying to make it work in my head! LOL
My go to lure is the "wacky" rigged stick bait. My favorite stick bait is a 5 inch "Sweet Potato Pie" by Wave Worms.
Oh yeah it is a killer. I have some old yums that are a perfect perch color. Never seem to find them a again.
Thank you for a very good youtube chanell Randy. I want to ask and hear what you have to say about it. Even if the hook is weedless the head of the shaky hook is that point that collect grass. What do you have to say about that? Magnus Andersson Sweden.
Hey Randy I love your videos bud and really appreciate your knowledge. I have a question for you. I live in Pasco county Florida and fish a lot out of the lake in my backyard. Last month which was July off 2022 I caught 90 bass on the zoom trick worm on a Texas rig with a 3/0 gamakatsu worm hook. For some reason they love that red bug color in my lake. I have tried every other color and caught fish on them, but I was wondering if you know why they like that red bug color so much. The water is pretty clear and isn’t real deep, there isn’t a lot of cover but there is ledges and drop offs. I do a slow retrieve with a Twitch, Twitch pause and it works really good. My biggest out of the lake is 4.5 lbs . I was just wondering if you knew why they like that color so much?!?! I have gone through about 5 packs in the last 2 months. Thank you brother. I love the channel and figure you might know.
Any idea about 30+ temperature deference, im in Louisiana, morning its about 45 f and sometimes it reaches 80 F in like 6 or 7 hours, the fish going crazy and they driving us crazy
Have u ever tried the gamagatsu skip gap hook on stick baits?
Man I can't thank you enough for those few tips on flipping hooks.
Any tips on chatterbaits? It's one of my favorite lures and I'd love to see your outlooks on them and what you do to them
I’ll do a vid on them!
Please do a tutorial on Car. Rig
Where do you get the g finesse hooks, and what model?
Wacky Vmc weedless neko hook. Most of the time I use a an o ring but not always. Green pumpkin, green pumpkin blue. Watermelon black flake if clear. The go to if I need a bite/limit.
Randy, how do you fish wacky style weedless ?
Owner Twistlock 4/0 is best hook for Texas rig. Try the weighted ones too.
If you are not throwing Wacky with a weedless hook, you are not throwing it where the bass live.
Thought you said in your video about selecting hooks for soft plastics that you didn’t really see a difference in hook up ratio between EWGs and Straight shanks, with the exception of flipping with a big tungsten weight, but in this one you say you lose a lot of fish on EWGs???
Black and red is nice color 2 in stain water.
I love a watermelon seed color, it seems when I can’t get a bite on any other one that watermelon seed produces!
