I find one of the better uses for the free rig is with floating plastics like Z-man stuff. I had one break me off on the third cast trying a free rig with a Z-man RaZor Shad. You can release line tension and let if float then give some light tugs like its a bait fish feeding off the bottom.
-
This has to be the absolute best video I've seen yet on YouTube about the free rig. As someone who uses stickbaits quite often, I never really felt like there was much difference between an unpegged bullet weight and a free rig, as far as soft plastic worms go. But seeing this video makes me realize that's not where a free rig is going to shine. I can't wait to try it with a craw or creature bait!
-
Last summer I had deep bass at 27 feet. I was getting a few bites on a drop shot. Then thought why not free rig a whacky stick bait. The rig allowed fast fall to within 3 feet of the bottom and then the slow fall of the stick. Works great and precise.
-
Interesting, very interesting. Thanks for sharing Steve
-
great information!! Much appreciated.
-
It would be cool to see a floating elaztech soft plastic used on the free rig. I've tinkered with it a litle, but haven't really seen that the free rig works all that much better than a texas rig.
-
Thank you for this video, it is very good .thank you
-
If you are new to this technique, remember to use a side sweep style hook set like you would for Carolina Rig. If the lure & weight have separated, you get a bite & set the hook straight up, you will be lifting the weight first, it will slide to the lure before you ever move the actual hook. The sliding weight might even scare or hit the fish causing it to spit the lure before the hook can set
-
Why this channel isn’t over 1M subs 😢
-
Great analysis sir. Thanks!
-
One thing that's not talked about much with the free rig is that you should provide slack line to maximize lure/weight separation. For casting, lift your rod tip high as the lure approaches the end of the cast, and then drop down your rod upon entry and leave your reel open and/or strip line. Once it's on the bottom you lift and immediately drop the tip quickly in one motion. A bobber stop helps too as the sinker can catch on the knot.
-
Watching this, it confirms that I’ll keep using my bulletweight rig. I use braided line, run it through a bulletweight 3 or 4 times, leave 1 to 3 feet of line to attach a fluke to. Slow fall and very erratic side to side motion
-
Awesome video!! Have never seen any other video explaining what bait to use or not to use. Thanks for sharing that information and will stay away from the slimmer baits & go bulky!!!😀Stay Safe & God Bless!!!! 🤠👍
-
Very informative thank you for sharing.
-
Been bass fishing 35+ years best Lures crankbait & any soft bait best worm rig for me has been the wacky floating & non floating with floating I use a split shot kinda like a Carolina rig 6"-12" works well. I also will use finish nails ass weight in non floating works for me I can adjust weight easily.
-
I’ve been using the free rig since I started bass fishing, last year. I love plastics that are buoyant to keep it suspended. I’ve tested these things in a bucket of water and found that the wider the plastic with flat bottom end, the better they are with free rigging as they glide down after the weight touches the bottom.
-
Definitely a great presentation on pressured lakes... the bellows shad or deps bull shad works the best because of the wide profile... it really glides around... my experience at least 😊
-
Thanx Steve. When you use Tungsten worm weights with inserts you get a pretty good separation of bait and weight.

Thanks for sharing
