Why use a rattlin Ned if your just going to take the plastic out, I love googan baits as much as the next guy but if your just going to take the rattle out you might as well get a Ned bait that actually has buoyancy, no hating still like the video I’m just saying

I used it back in the 70s, Jerry McGinnis was my favorite fisherman then.

The old ball and chain gets it done. Love to put a grub on one.

What better than a Googan baits is a z man baits and definitely Yum baits

[WAH_cards]

I thought you hated throwing a Carolina rig. I love throwing a lizard on a Carolina rig. I never go fishing without a Carolina rig set up.

I gotta throw more Carolinas this year

[lumpiestofcoles]

I basically grew up doing this and still do with my grandpa and dad cause they think it’s Texas rigged we don’t do it exactly like this at all lol we legit throw on your bullet weight then a peg or split shit then tie on your hook and pull up your weight and peg up about 12in then throw a rubber worm on it and you’re good lol we catch all of our bass that way lol well my dad and grandpa do as I got older I started doing different things throwing lures and different rigs and what not so yeah lol I guess it’s a Carolina rig I guess just on one main line no swivels or beads or anything lol

Wow! First time I seen any of the pro's use a Googan bait. Cool!

[ryanmanners]

What is the gear ratio of the bait casting reel for this setup? I would think high

[mollicaoutdoors]

I want my bait to float up a little, yet uses a fluorocarbon leader.... counter productive much...

[tonygarner]

Please show the retrieve and how to work it. Thanks
