  • It can be very hard to slow down when fishing a Texas rig, or any bass fishing lure for that matter. Fishing very very slow catches big bass but it takes patience.

    I literally watched this video and went out and Texas rigged my setup and caught a 4lb 8oz tank on my 3rd 5min cast!!!!

    This is how I have always fished Texas rig's and it definitely pays off. I've kinda always enjoyed the slow retrieve because it gives me time to enjoy the environment and get lost in thought.

      Fishing all lures except square bill or deep dive square bill are the only lures you fish fast. Big fish don't expend a lot of energy

    Love your videos, always something to learn from you. As a newer angler, I'd love some tips on how long to spend in one spot while working a bank or in the kayak, and when to decide to switch baits. Usually only keep 1-2 rods with me and switching baits often eats into my time on the water. Sometimes it feels like I get to impatient with one bait and switch too soon, other times it feels like I waste too much time on one bait without getting a bite.

    @darkwar12345 4 года назад

    To everyone who hasn't tried this tip he gave us. I just tried it exactly the way he said to but I added a little shake every once in a while landed me 4 fish and missed 3. 1 of which broke my line where my blood knot was and I casted in same spot and actually was able to get my line back and I was hand reeling a 5 lb bass in but it snapped the hook off!!! This man knows how to fish take his advise

  • @heals7429
    @heals7429 4 года назад

    So true!! All my biggest is caught working slow. Cast it out, let it sit for 30-60 seconds, slowly pull my rod tip up letting the worm to slowly move on the bottom or even up a bit to give it some tail action, slowly reel in the slack, repeat. If I hit something then I slowly pull it thru and let it sit and start over. All my biggest have been caught this way with senko or craw. Lately I've been diggin the craw 😎

  • @Ezeekz14
    @Ezeekz14 4 года назад

    Texas rigged senkos with 1/4oz weight is by far my best fish catching rig that I use. Just cast it out and while the boat is slowly working the shoreline my worm is dragging along the bottom. Perfect for dragging across points in my lake. Super simple to rig and it catches fish. Can’t beat it! Perfect for a beginner

  • @fishingwithvin
    @fishingwithvin 4 года назад

    This is legit advice I learned to slow drag during last fall and it caught me some pretty good one's. Pre spawn I caught some awesome one's on a crank burning it banging off the rocks like a fright train. The nedrig, show dragging a craw and the wacky rigged worm is getting me some right now but I don't have giant's in my waters, if you catch a 6+ there you're doing something!
    Maybe someday I'll get my chance at some huge Bass?!

  • @alexkoutdoor

    Need to get back to fishing this way. Spend too much time power fishing and then throwing senkos. Used to drag around black power worms exclusively and break that up with slow rolling a spinner bait. Those were always effective.

  • @lukemorgan3368
    @lukemorgan3368 4 года назад

    Caught my PB of 9-9.5lbs using this exact technique. Although I used a pro model spot remover and a brush hog, I pitched up on a bank with structure and slowly drug it into the water and man was I shocked at how gentle the bite was! It felt like subtle resistance, so reeled in the slack and I set that hook and got my arm broke! I’ve never seen a bass that big get air born 2-3 times! The bank had about 2-3 feet of hydrilla growing and I wasn’t about to lose this giant on 12lb mono. Off came the shoes, I tossed my phone, wallet, and keys. I was able to grab her. Man what an experience most people would’ve called me crazy for throwing that fish back! I got my picture and let it live on to make more giant bass!

  • @aarondavis8224
    @aarondavis8224 4 года назад

    Ive been fishing standup shakey heads with floating tail worms like this for years, I feel for when the bait hits something and ill shake it with super slow retrieve. Ive never thought of using this with a T rig it might not get snagged as easily as a stand up shakey head. Im going to try this.

    Uber slow finesse fishin is your best friend when ur in pain. I loooove crankbaits but when it hurts to cast, slowin down to a Winter pace is a relief. Slower presentation = fewer casts = able to stay on the water longer. Plus a chance to fool a biggun.

    You spoke on something at 3:40 that I have been trying to figure out. I'm coming from a bass boat, just got into an ss127 and my hook up ratio has been aweful. I was unsure if I needed to go with a stiffer rod, or a lighter hook. I do know it's because the kayak gives on a hookset.

    Goin on memory here sooo... Back in the late 70's, I read an article (prolly in B.A.S.S. Magazine) about a guy in south Ga. (I think) that had caught over 1000 Bass OVER 10 LBS.! His "secret?" Fishing a Big, T Rigged (10" or bigger) BLACK worm. (Prolly Mann's Jelly Worm at the time) that he BARELY MOVED AT ALL! I took this to heart & in the early 80's, I created (yep, I'm stickin to that!!) A way to rig a night crawler that was retrieved slower than slow and caught my PB. A 14 1/2 lb. Monster from a decent sized farm "pond" in Henry Co. Ga. I had caught a 7 & 1/2 pounder from this same lake the year before. The biggun coulda eatin it for breakfast!! My point? The NetMaster... (Damn, he can whip that thing out can't he?!!) Uh... Sorry! The Flukemaster is absolutely right. SLOW! PATIENCE! = MONSTERS! (Love ur vids Gene! Believe me. I'm a regular!)
