Great information. Bass does get used to seeing baits and shy away from them. Sometimes you can just change colors to make the difference. I've done that back in the 80's when fishing local bass club tournaments. Great video 📹 👍 Thank you

[thetzel]

Learning alot from your videos Jacob! Thanks for the great content!

I caught 2 Decent chunk Smallies with a Yumbrella 3 Wire Umbrella mini rig paired with 2.8” Keitech Fat Swing Impact copperfield swimbait while using 3/32oz weedless Ned heads that I made myself, fished on the US side of WA. I had this rig in my tackle bag for 8-9 years and I couldn’t use it because it was completely illegal in British Columbia Canada, but since one of my local lakes shared the same lake with the US, I was able to try it for the first time EVER last weekend (10/15/22).
I now am fishing for more ideas an tricks/tips to help me be better with this new found technique.

I’ll have one tied on for the Chickamauga Bfl January 29 and Guntersville February 5. Great video!!!!

Man time flys Paul's win on the A RIG was 10 years ago . it is definitely one of those baits that when their on it, it's lights out .

[RyanCook]

Using heavier weight on the ned rig and is better to use chartreuse or red jig heads
Great stuff as always
Thanks Jacob

Guys tease me for throwing mine on an extra hvy glass rod. They have no idea what they are missing out on. The tip allows me to put it in tight spots around docks and almost no fatigue fishing it all day. Dixie Custom Rig Stik is my go too rod. Hand made in TN

[petecook]

JDUBB I want u to do a video on what to do and what happens to the fish on tx day when u put 150 boats on the lake when u had a good practice the week before an come tx day it's hard to get bit? Is it bait change, area change what???

[richardcain]

Great vid...
Any chance you and the boys can get together and do a vid on comparing boats and motors?
It's so cool now with so many different boat and motor manufacturers in the game.
You guys don't need to name manufacturers...are their advantages to some setups?
More tin boats in the future?
Any great mishap stories on the water or ramp?🤣

[williambenner]

I use them in the winter for Strippers/Whippers and they work well

[jpoutdoors]

What was the first rig you had tied on what brand is it?

[tonylama]

Thank you for the info, Jacob. A question, please. What is the best knot to tie the A-rig?

[jerometorrez]

Great vid but I wanna see how to fish in canals and what is the best bait to rig in clear duck weed waters.?

[prestonmire]

Thank you so much I will be trying it out nexts time I go out awesome

[trickytrav]

I can use 5 hooks in NJ what size weight would you use on top and bottom or all the same size?

[ScruffyCityFishing]

I remember when I first started using one I threw it on 65lb braid because I didn’t want to lose a $30 rig. The bite died using what I now call the rope and chandelier approach. Switched to 20lb fluro and have had more luck, but I’ve also felt physically ill when hung up on ole stump monster. This fish are definitely onto us! Haha. Great video! Do you ever throw the 3 wire rig?

[rodballou]

How do you manage your dropshot in the rod box? Mine always wants to tangle. Also what methods do you use when you don't want to catch them in practice?

[Kaboom-fcrr]

What's your thoughts on blades vs no blades? Does water color determine it? Or do you throw blades a lot in super clear water?

[mikebailey]

Jacob, , is it possible to fish a rig like you have from shore? These videos are a great help and done professionally. 🎣🐟

[garyhenderson]
