Great video, the #4 circle is the only hook when using mole crabs- too many folks use too big of hook, heavy line. Some times my try something different whiting/pompano rig is same but with a small sliding bobber between top drop and swivel and no beads or floats on the dropper. Tight lines from the Space Coast!
Brad, I'm fairly new to tying my own rigs. This seems like the best one I've seen, because if you use a snap swivel for the weight, you can't really use bank weights (which I happen to have a bunch of). So thanks for the vid. I've learned a lot from you, Brant, and Matt. Thank you
Another hint for feeding the loop thru the hook eye. Use a piece of braid or thin mono. insert the line into the loop and thread both ends thru the hook eye (or bead) and pull thru.
We moved from Nashville. We’re living in an apartment right now. Coming from Nashville, the home prices really aren’t that much different unless you’re buying right at the beach
Great vid Brad what size weights would you use and what would you use for bait tytyty as u k ow I just moved to Florida from Colorado lol you the man tytyty
one tip: if you're having trouble getting line through hook eye, get a random piece of line and run it through dropper loop and put both tag ends through loop eye, then slide hook down to the dropper loop and pull. It should pull the loop through the eye. Then you can just take the stray line out.
2 years late with answer. [ If you get a stray piece of line, maybe about 7 inches or so. Put the stray line through dropper loop then put both ends of that stray line through hook eye.] [ then while holding the tag ends of stray line, slide hook down towards loop and pull through.]
@@BeardedBrad92 just got in from nashville last night. Gonna try for whiting a couple of days. Then reds and sheepshead for a couple days. Maybe I’ll see you out there somewhere.
@@BeardedBrad92 I talked to you at the pass back in October or November one morning before you went to work. I knew you said you were from nolensville.
Check out this video to see the whiting rig in action!

Nice job. Looking forward to heading that way soon. Merry Christmas!

THANKS FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO, BRAD!
why we need a bead before the hook?
Is the circle hook perfect for tiny very small whitings
So, what is the purpose of the beads? I know to use them to protect a knot from a weight. Are they used to keep the loop at the hook tighter?
They’re also used to help attract the fish
@@BeardedBrad92 Thanks for the info. I’m retired in N. GA. And want to move to GS/OB. Where did you move from? Was it hard to find a decent house?
We moved from Nashville. We’re living in an apartment right now. Coming from Nashville, the home prices really aren’t that much different unless you’re buying right at the beach
@@BeardedBrad92 I bet that was a hard place to leave. I love Nashville, at least as a tourist. BTW, i commented a message on your latest FB post.
What do you use for a rod and reel combo for whiting and pompano thanks
Where can I find those multi color beads like you're using?
I get them at Hobby Lobby
@@BeardedBrad92 THANK YOU!!
Do you single drop rigs and if so is there a vid showing how to make it? Thanks
The exact same way. I make them all the time. Just don’t make two drops and shorten the length of the rig overall
Great vid Brad what size weights would you use and what would you use for bait tytyty as u k ow I just moved to Florida from Colorado lol you the man tytyty
What size weight do you use?
one tip: if you're having trouble getting line through hook eye, get a random piece of line and run it through dropper loop and put both tag ends through loop eye, then slide hook down to the dropper loop and pull. It should pull the loop through the eye. Then you can just take the stray line out.
Why do you need the beads?
Hi Brad great video thanks for your time and help 🐟
Thanks man!
Nbd, but P Line Floroclear isn’t fluorocarbon line. It’s a co-poly with fluoro coating. Good line though
If you can’t get the loop to fit through the eye of the hook, can you cut the loop at one end and then tie the hook on or will it slip under pressure?

10lb flouro leader
Hay Brad ware did you get the beads from thanks
I got them at hobby lobby
Is whiting a good bait fish?
Yes, it’s really good for red fish
Thank you b/b this video really helps me a lot stay safe and free 👍❤
Thanks man! Hope you get on a good whiting bite!
@@BeardedBrad92 thanks you too
Are the whiting biting right now?
Yes sir!
@@BeardedBrad92 just got in from nashville last night. Gonna try for whiting a couple of days. Then reds and sheepshead for a couple days. Maybe I’ll see you out there somewhere.
I’m from Nashville also. I’ll probably be out tomorrow at some point
