Yeah i almost had my first bass on a red shad!! Like i said i dont think i set the hook :-[

[Bassin_Dude]

you guys bet me to it ;D i fish them in any cover. i like weedless/weightless. or a bullet weight pegged about a half a foot up from the hook.

[coolman]

How do i rig weightless/weedless if i dont shove a jig head up there???

Thanx yall

[Mikey]

Why do u guys think bass are atracted to wacky rig worms i mean do they move like a worm when reling in or what .

We are talking two different things here, I think. Â*Christopher is referring to tubes-I fish them in and around cover, but I don't fish them very often on a jug head-I fish tubes that are a little bit bigger so I can Texas rig them. Â*To Texas rig them I learned a trick fron a guide up in North Texas that works real well. Â*I start by getting a small bell sinker, and put it in the tube with the brass loop pointing towards the head of the tube. Â*Then I rig it weedless but I make sure the point of the hook goes through the brass loop. Â*This is what it looks like without the tube:



and rigged:



No idea, Matt, but it sure works.

you know what kind of ticks me. if you try to dye the strands of a tube with spike-it, the stands stick together. anybody have a solution to this? sorry fr postin this on your post chris, just kinda popped up to me.

[Rich]

Nope, other than separate them manually, which I usually don't do.

Try taking the spike it and dip your stands the amount of time you want, and take a hair dryer (have it handy) and blow dry the dye AS YOU SHAKE IT...
it doesn't take a minute to do..always beware of dyes bleeding into your other baits if you throw them together for further seperation...I am real guilty of tying on bait after bait and throwing the old one back in the top of the plano for later lol.....mostly worms tho

[Rich]

JB, tell me you don't have a hair dryer with you when you are out on the water ;D

(sorry, I couldn't resist)

[jglassguy]

on the water LOL
naw I try to plan ahead and dip stuff like that before hand and keep them seperate..If your doing it on the water maybe a gentle shaking would do it

[Bassin_Dude]

so dip them all in and then while shaking them gentily dry them with the hair dryer?
