Hello Everyone, i was wondering if u had any types of bass rigs that are not commonly known or are modified in anyway.

Yeah I have one, it's a double Carolina rig. Tie a three way swivel instead of a regular one to your main line, then a normal length of line for your Carolina rig to one of the 3 way eyes and your favorite bait. To the third eye tie about 8 to 10 inches of line with a small 4" worm or a french fry on a #2 worm hook. Double your pleasure, double your fun!

cool thanks ill try that out

I got one. Main line to barrel swivel. On the other end of the barrel swivel 3 feet of leader. on that leader put a brightly colored bobber stop near the barrel swivel, then put on a slip bobber, then another bobber stop 8 to 10 inches from the end of the leader, put a split shot after the second bobber stop, and your hook/lure on the end of the leader. I have a special way of hooking a big fat live night crawler. Use a #8 hook. Run the tip of the hook clean through the worm head, then turn it like in Texas rigging and bury the tip back into the worm in the thick ring section of the worm. Now your mostly weedless. The action on this set up is awesome. Cast it out there (gently so you don't foul the action or throw away your worm) lift your rod tip up, the line slides up through the bobber till the line hits that bottom stopper, then let your rod tip down and the line slips back the other way giving your worm a lovely irresistible fall. Keep doing that as you reel in all the way back. When that bobber changes direction or goes under set the hook and hold on. Big worm big fish. Blue gills may mess with the worm, but with experience you'll know the difference right away and most of the time pull it away from them before they rob you.. You'll lose a few worms to them till you get the hang of it, but you'll also get some nice bass this way. Also all kinds of lures work with this set up.

Well I use a drop shot, which isn't uncommon, but I use it in a situation that I think most people have not considered. Under docks! I can imitate little baitfish feeding on the algae on the dock posts and pilings.

cool posts i realliny like yours guba head about the nightcrawler....... the biggest fish ive ever caught was a 7 pounder on a nightcrawler! Iwas just trying to catch some bream to use as bait. The bream only caught a 5 punder

I'm telling you if you get that slip bobber rig tuned so the worm does that lazy "help me" fall the bass absolutely can not resist it. It's a slow way to fish and doesn't cover much water, but if you know they're around it's a killer rig. I have never caught a bass using a blue gill/bream. And i know the bass in the pond i fish on must be eating them. I usually live line one with a hook in his back near the end of the dorsal fin under a bobber. I clip one pectoral fin so it just swims in a circle. They usually swim around until a turtle gets on them and that's that. You got any tips on using bream (it's so weird to call blue gills bream)?

yeh where i fish we call them perch but i cant stnad that cause its not a perch...i call them bream because theres lots of them...what i did for the only time i ever fished one was use like a 3/0 worm hook and hooked it in the back... i left a good amount of line out and wheen i saw the line start moving a little more i lifted up my line and felt pressure so i set the hook i hope this help cause ive only done it one time

I have a tandem topwater rig that I use. Take a Hulapopper and tie a 2 to 3 foot leader to the back treble and attach a small popper(like the ones used with a fly rod). You have no idea what you're going to catch with this rig.  Bass, bluegill, crappie, two fish at once. One time I had a huge swirl behind the big plug in front and thought it was a miss. About that time the front plug went backwards and under real fast! It's not uncommon for a big bass to take the small popper, but it was uncommon how the fish went strait to the bottom. When I finally got her close enough to see what it was I couldn't believe it, a big catfish! Like I said earlier, you have no idea what you're going to catch with this rig.

o kool thanks mo

Never thought about addin the fly popper behind a hula. Definately going to try that out soon. I do some thing simlar with a finesse worm (houdini) about 2 to 3 feet behind a hula. When a pig comes up to see the what the hell is going on with the popper and is uninterested, that dropping rubber becomes almost irresistable. Can also be done with nightcrawlers.

I've been having fun with this one. On my main line (6lb. Berkley NanoFil, love this stuff, be careful with your knots though, double palomar is the only reliable knot with this line) I tie a 1/64 jig with a little plastic thing called a Gizzy Bug made by Maniac Custom Lures. (http://maniaccustomlures.com/zen/in...&cPath=67) By the way they have a bunch of great products. The 3.5 inch Cut'r Bugs slit shot rigged are Bass candy. So, then to the eye of the Gizzy Bug jig I tie about 18 inches of leader and put on a 3 inch swim bait. Any match the hatch swimbait will work. It's a little tricky tying two lines to the eye of such a small jig, but worth the effort. Fish it like you would any swim bait, but now your catch rate will go up cause your catching blue gill crappy on the Gizzy bug and bass on the swim bait. The jig is so small it hardly ever hangs up. I think the bass get attracted my the crappies and blue gills chasing the Gizzy Bug.

I have tried BERKLEY NANO-FIL. I give it two thumbs down sure it cast far but has no knot strenght I dont care what knot you use even with super glue. I just have lost all faith in it sorry just my opinon

Knock wood, I've had no knot failure with the double palomar, but i see your point. Knot reliability is definitely a draw back to NanoFil, but it gets very high marks in every other category. Have you tried the double palomar jaysun7776? The uni with 5 or 6 turns also holds for me. You have to wet the knot before your cinch it as well.

Here is a smallmouth technique that is killer when the fish are suspended or on the bottom where there isn't any grass.

It is a modified version of the dropshot. I tie up the drop shot like you normally would, but instead of attaching a weight... tie on a 4" grub with a 1/4oz jig head. It is killer on smallies!
