@@RealisticFishing agreed. They are magic as long as you keep them separate from other plastics. Scored a pack of the zman senko style, made our of the same stuff for $2.70, in sale at dick's. My typical yum dingers and senkos would be falling apart at the hook contact points by now. That or the line would be cutting through. I also always get hung up with the ned style heads. I want to try the ewg style ned heads.
Cutting through the woods.. Damn story of my life.. Always cutting through the woods or the swamp, the life of a land surveyor. To go places most people want nothing to do with but I love my job, most of the time.. Always keep a combo in the work truck never know when we might find a pond or creek that's probably never been fished..
Can't see where any mentioned how good is was to let a well hooked fish untangle itself. Sometimes they untangle and sometimes they get more tangled. It is chance worth taking. Well done Alex! 🪙 🏆
Dang, the fish is tangled around a branch.... WWRFD.... This will go through the mind of everyone who watched this video the next time they get wrapped up by a bass. This sir will go down in history as one of the best "training" videos of all time. Awesome video Alex, keep them coming sir!
I really love the ZMan plastics. That ElaZtech lasts several fish. Alex, I don't know if you've seen them, but they sell EWG ned heads so that you are not having to Texas rig. You should look them up.
Z-Man TRD stands for The Real Deal. Some Toyota Tacoma’s have TRD (Toyota Racing District) written on the side and I will never be able to read that maturely without saying turd in my head 😂 *Great* numbers today!! Goes to show how powerful a Senko is!
The man the myth the legend stomping them on the TRD!!! Have you tried the ned rig? "Yes I have, and it snags everything." Lol. You ain't lying brother 😂
I like the ZMan NED with TRD in rivers. It does snag a lot but it catches. I caught a 35 in Muskie on one in the Susquehanna River in PA along with like 10 Smallies.
I am not an accomplished Bass guy! But I fish my local lakes here in the SF Bay Area for bass. Zman TRD texas, on a 2/0 offset worm hook. This is my go to bait for our over pressured waters here.The floating TRD gets bit when senko doesn’t. Both the larger bait and the small finesse bait.
Hey Alex that's Realistic, looked like a fun night. Going to fish today with the Z-man and try your rig out. It's been a minute between fish this week. Just nothing bites right now around Matthews NC. Water temps tooooooooooooooooo hot I guess.
I have been using them Zoom Baby brush hog in the creek and I'm pulling large mouths all day and not to mention one of my local Walmart's are selling Pautzke Fire worms in pink the bass at the lake love em
My motto when bank fishing is no exposed hooks unless under a float-tried the tiny child rig on TRD and is like Texas rig with mushroom weight on opposite end-pretty weedless.
Zman is all I buy now. They last forever. I really like the finesse worm. They are reasonably priced. The bulletz hooks are a bit pricey though, but darn good hooks. I use the 1/15 oz ones.
Great job catching bass. Everyone is commenting on how good of a lure it is. I just might need to try it. Thanks Alex for a great Realistic Fishing Video. KiR!!!
Try the finesse bulletz by zman for your ned rigs they are an ewg style finesse jig . I use them in the rivers for my ned rigs because I'm always snagging everything. They are awesome and virtually snagless
Z-Man makes awesome lures. Super durable. I use them all the time when I go snook fishing. They don’t even tear up catching those guys. Fishing the TRD Texas rig is about the only way I can fish em down here in Florida. Way to much grass to use it on a Ned rig. Great video brother!
Sup. Love the set up. Fish on, play it might free itself? Nice bass! Nice #2. That sounded bad lol. #3 camera shy lol. Darn. Might have to look for that bait while rebuilding tackle. Nice #4. #5. Same worm? Wow. #6. #7 nice bass. #8 same worm. #9 lol. That bait is realistic! Omg #10. Tyvm tc
for some reason my trd worms don’t sink anymore, so confused bc i rig it the exact same and they just float on top of the water i can get them to slowly sink anymore, and when i add a weight it sinks too fast. idk what i’m doing different. i use the 3” worms and cut them in half to 1.5” worms for the small fish in my area.
Love the videos man. I've seen you go after panfish with those little one inch gulp minnows, I saw some bags of the two to three inch ones in the store the other day. Was wondering if you'd ever fished with the bigger ones and if so, what have you caught on them. Considering buying a bag just to see what I can get.
Fricken awesome day of Bass fishing. Maybe not any monsters, but that's what being realistic is. Every other video isn't about 7lb bass, or 1lb crappie
Slayin on the z-man lately. The guys at Z-man say to stretch the plastic out before you use it. Apparently it makes it more Buoyant and makes the salt come out. 🤷🏼♂️
One of the best lures and materials ever created.
except when it touches another soft plastic 🥈

@@harrisonu the ewg ned heads help some with grass but thats it
@@clmwrx long live the Texas rig!
@@RealisticFishing sitting in a hot car, ain't good for them, either. that was an expensive lesson...
You had a rare fishing night. 🎣 Those are the times we like talk about and remember. 🎉🎊🎆
The fish there are really active......fightin and jumping.........fish on master......
Great video, lots of fish and even a miss on a little one. Thank you for putting me in the video. Much appreciatied!!!

I always manage to slip and fall when I have to wade in the water. Glad to see you aren’t as clumsy as I am 💪
Always nice to lose count of how many fish you catch. Thanks for another great video!
Can't see where any mentioned how good is was to let a well hooked fish untangle itself. Sometimes they untangle and sometimes they get more tangled. It is chance worth taking. Well done Alex! 🪙 🏆
Texas rig for the win, again! 👍🏻😎🍻 The TRD's definitely last longer than a Yamamoto Senko, thats for sure.
Hammered 🔨 🔨 the bass!!! Wooooooo weeeeeeeeeee!! Great video man!
That elaztech material is super tough. My saltwater baits are made out of it and they stand up to bluefish and flounder with all their teeth!
Dang, the fish is tangled around a branch.... WWRFD.... This will go through the mind of everyone who watched this video the next time they get wrapped up by a bass. This sir will go down in history as one of the best "training" videos of all time. Awesome video Alex, keep them coming sir!
Looks like the perfect setup for teaching kids to catch bass. A real numbers bait that will keep them from getting bored.
Nothing better than getting off of work to watch one of your videos!
I really love the ZMan plastics. That ElaZtech lasts several fish. Alex, I don't know if you've seen them, but they sell EWG ned heads so that you are not having to Texas rig. You should look them up.
You taught me how to catch stocked rainbow at Nice Mill dam. I owe you a favor. Thanks for everything. Peace

That is one magical TRD Alex!! I would put that bad boy up on the wall with the amount of fish you got on it. Thing is insane. Way to go.
What a great day fishing! Good on ya Alex!
The man the myth the legend stomping them on the TRD!!! Have you tried the ned rig? "Yes I have, and it snags everything." Lol. You ain't lying brother 😂
If you can’t stand the Ned rig hanging up you can try out the Zman Nedlockz EWG or the Finesse Bulletz. Works great for snaggy areas!
That third one put on a nice air show. Texas Rig TRD... Doing work!
You gotta try it instead of a tube!
The TRD Z-Men in Junebug just works great for me. Nice video
I like the ZMan NED with TRD in rivers. It does snag a lot but it catches. I caught a 35 in Muskie on one in the Susquehanna River in PA along with like 10 Smallies.
Nice work out there! You are the Texas Rig Whisperer. Got some nice ones.....with cheese.

The good ol Texas rigged worn has been killing it for me lately, I haven't really thrown it much since I their a wacky rig but it's been effective.
Thàt was a great night of fishing keep it realistic 😊
Great video Alex i got a few bags of the big trd's they get tomcods to salmon up here
Awesome catching bass! we just got back from catching us some bass and trout.
Texas rig for the win. You had a great afternoon of fishing for sure. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for watching!

Man that is a fishy looking place. Nice catches.
Fishing a ned worm on a Texas rig...now that's realistic!
My motto when bank fishing is no exposed hooks unless under a float-tried the tiny child rig on TRD and is like Texas rig with mushroom weight on opposite end-pretty weedless.
Haven't seen a TRD that long before. Looks like a worm 🪱 for Texas Rigging. I like it. Those TRD's will take a beating. Have to look 👀for some.
Love those zmans. Use them all the time in my neck of the woods.
🥉
I have alot of ned baits and neds get snagged non stop here watching the videos im gonna do them Texas rig style now 😎
Try the 3 inch trd with a garmikatsu size 2 hook and 1/32 bull shot weight about 6 inches from the hook
That was tense when that Bass was hung up on that branch - I thought you were going in brother! 😄 💧 🐟 The Zman getting it done! 👊 🎣
Great video thanks man hi Tammy from Texas im also in texas
Dang! A lot of action today. Had to fun.
Amazing catches in a row. I'll try the rig, thanks!
💥
🏆 YOU DID IT!
Do love big trd. Might should try t rigging one myself
good outing man. I have to try some kind of texas rig for crappie, so i can fish trees better..
I have caught crappie on texas rigged swimbaits 👍
Zman is all I buy now. They last forever. I really like the finesse worm. They are reasonably priced. The bulletz hooks are a bit pricey though, but darn good hooks. I use the 1/15 oz ones.
Great job catching bass. Everyone is commenting on how good of a lure it is. I just might need to try it. Thanks Alex for a great Realistic Fishing Video. KiR!!!
Winning with a Texas Rig TRD! Any day with 10 fish is a good day.
Just tried them out and I love this lure but I do use it as a ned rig
I like to use the big TRD with a Ned jig, it has the Ned head and ewg hook so I can Texas rig it it works great
That’s just crazy… I do the Ned rig and lose a ton of setups… Nvr though it would work on tax rig…. I’m an idiot…. Great job bro…
Give it a try and keep your rigs!
The action is totally different but it certainly works.
The new EWG style Ned heads from several companies including Z-Man help a bunch. I’ve been throwing the Ned rig in a lot of places I couldn’t before.
Nice....you had a good day!!!
I always have a good day 😅
Cant ever go wrong with a texas rig. 👍
I have fished with the zman trick shot z and caught a bass on it
Lots of bass this trip. I've seen you catch bigger bass but all these guys looked extra healthy and strong.
Hey Alex, is your boat tore up. I noticed that you haven't taken it out in a while. I was just wondering. God bless buddy and I love your videos.
Nice fishing Bass collection. 🙌
collecting and releasing
Bass seem to be near the shore line today. Awesome
Try the finesse bulletz by zman for your ned rigs they are an ewg style finesse jig . I use them in the rivers for my ned rigs because I'm always snagging everything. They are awesome and virtually snagless
thats the same thing as this , lead worm head and ewg...
Wow! I’ve heard of bigger fish going after hooked fish, but you gotta watch for those tree bass! They are vicious!😂
Z-Man makes awesome lures. Super durable. I use them all the time when I go snook fishing. They don’t even tear up catching those guys. Fishing the TRD Texas rig is about the only way I can fish em down here in Florida. Way to much grass to use it on a Ned rig. Great video brother!
Snaggy ned rig... 😅
@@RealisticFishing Very snaggy 😂
I need to pick up some of these.... I've always been a Zoom guy because that's what I grew up with. I do love a Senko though...
Sup. Love the set up. Fish on, play it might free itself? Nice bass! Nice #2. That sounded bad lol. #3 camera shy lol. Darn. Might have to look for that bait while rebuilding tackle. Nice #4. #5. Same worm? Wow. #6. #7 nice bass. #8 same worm. #9 lol. That bait is realistic! Omg #10. Tyvm tc
all the way up to 10!
I always wondered about Texas rigging those .
Texas rigging TRD is the way to go. Too many snags when I use the regular Ned rig.
Great night Alex and great idea with the Texas rig. After watching this video I’m heading out to McDonald’s for quarter pounder with cheese!! 🍔🍔🍔
Great video Alex!!
Thanks 👍
Another good day of fishing
The zman trd is my go-to bait. I have caught more fish on it than anything else. Thanks for another good video.
Great video and thanks for replying to those who comment!
I was going to do a smart-alecky "You should ned rig it," but you beat me to it.
Ha! Knocked that smarty pants sh*t right out your m.... 😂
Your "sponsor me" dink tape is FIRE ! Karl and the Googs will be busting down your door soon! This is about as realistic as my fishing goes as well!
Didn't know you could use it this way. Thanks! Love your Videos!
Now does the trd float Texas rig styel I wonder . dam Alex you can't miss today he's on fire
for some reason my trd worms don’t sink anymore, so confused bc i rig it the exact same and they just float on top of the water i can get them to slowly sink anymore, and when i add a weight it sinks too fast. idk what i’m doing different. i use the 3” worms and cut them in half to 1.5” worms for the small fish in my area.
Man you slayed them tonight! Making me get the itch to go!
Good video. I love zman products. Only wish their bulletz hooks were cheaper.
Love the videos man. I've seen you go after panfish with those little one inch gulp minnows, I saw some bags of the two to three inch ones in the store the other day. Was wondering if you'd ever fished with the bigger ones and if so, what have you caught on them. Considering buying a bag just to see what I can get.
Got to love those trd.
That ending is the best 🤣
Well yeah thats what I've been catching em on all year. That elaztech is tough and they float.
Another great video, Alex! 🤘🏻A hug! 🇧🇷
Hey Alex!
Those are some durable lures!
That was definitely realistic fishing!
You caught more fish in one night than i caught all year. Maybe 2
It was a good night, for small ones 👍
Another gear episode! Thanks for keeping it realistic!!
Fricken awesome day of Bass fishing. Maybe not any monsters, but that's what being realistic is. Every other video isn't about 7lb bass, or 1lb crappie

I know I didn’t get first 😂 my phone was being crazy
yes you did!
Nice bag tonight👏👏
Wish they were biting that good here.. great video as always!
Good job with the zman 👍 need to try the big trd 🎣
First cast! Nice!
Great video.
You can buy EWG Ned heads
Well done. Watching you use texas rig made my confidence go way up with mine and the way I use it. Thanks!
Sometimes confidence makes all the difference! 👍
Love hearing those owls
who? 😂
KIR at its finest
