    Used this last nite, and almost had a? monster largemouth, but my dang line snapped!! Ughh

  2. ConisKC Says:

    would a 5″ swimming shad in current be better on a jighead? or texas rigged?

  3. HiWay69s Says:

    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.

  7. artsnflies Says:

    On a shad? that big you need a big hook like 6/0 thru 8/0.

  8. 559kingsucker Says:

    what size hook you use on it though?

  9. VIDEOZAL Says:

    WOW and no weed on the hook! I’m so tired of? the weed… THANKS A LOT!
    gonna try it tomorrow…

  10. artsnflies Says:

    Similar, execpt Texas? rigging usually leaves the hook point inside the rubber to keep it snag-less.

  11. thepimps3000 Says:

    he? mean texas riging

  12. Terraxx14 Says:

    very? good explanation ;)

  13. BrewCityLove Says:

    kinda like a texas rig?

  14. GuitarRefurbMan Says:

    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

  15. artsnflies Says:

    Not? sure the exactg size. I’d say 10″ or so.

  16. specifictender Says:

    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.

  17. blongsta5 Says:

    what size was that? rubber shad?

  18. artsnflies Says:

    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.

  19. artsnflies Says:

    Of course but you might want to use a dark color at? night instead.

  20. boxinglife123 Says:

    i live in Connecticut and i fish in the new haven harbor? , would this work at night ?

  21. cichLiidZz305 Says:

    thnx 4 demonstrating how to do it.?

  22. SixFootEightTao Says:

    how do u hook a fish like that when it bites. do u just yank it? up?

  23. artsnflies Says:

    Don’t see why this or? a similar style of rubber wouldn’t work. Depends on the conditions.

  24. brettsharp Says:

    can i use this? lure to catch large mouth bass or pecock bass in south glorida?

  25. artsnflies Says:

    I don’t see? why not.
