secret

on

Flipping and pitching heavy cover is one of the deadliest ways to catch giant bass—but the real secret isn’t just the bait or the setup, it’s how you work it once it hits the water. In this video, I break down 4 sneaky retrieve tricks that pros don’t talk about but use all the time to pull fish out of thick grass, weeds, and heavy mats. From subtle shakes to reaction-inducing pops, these retrieves will help you trigger more bites and land more bass when you’re flipping. I’ll walk you through exactly how to fish each one, the gear I use, and why these little adjustments can be the difference between an empty livewell and a tournament-winning bag.

This might just be the only worm you’ll ever need to catch bass — seriously. In this video, I break down one of the most fish catching lures in bass fishing that still dominates tournaments – the stickbait or Senko – and modify it for flipping and pitching docks, heavy cover, and vegetation for summer bass. I can’t believe I’ve never tried this sneaky rig before because it’s so easy! If you’re looking for that one worm to simplify your setup and catch fish year-round — this is it.

Our fishing road trip to Wisconsin has begun and it’s time to reveal one of the soft plastic worm rigs that no one talks about but used to catch me a ton of big bass. It’s a super simple diy rig or you can buy one pre rigged but in essence it’s a pre rigged straight tail plastic worm on a straight shank hook with a swivel. It’s best to use a 12-14lbs flourocarbon leader depending on how clear the water is as well as use braided fishing line behind it. When it comes to fishing rods throwing a medium action spinning rod about 7 foot seems to work best and really there’s no wrong way to work the fishing lure! Literally anyone can catch fish on this worm rig. One of the benefits as well is that it’s very easy to skip under docks or around cover and if you’re fishing really heavy vegetation you can always use a hook with a wire weed guard. A challenging but epic first day to the trip back to the old stomping grounds and the lakes and fisheries I grew up casting on. We’ll see if I learned anything while I was gone!!!
