Default bassackwards rigging..

while i was at the "candy factory" in town. and old guy in the back was discussing somthing a tad differant.seeing this same guy took one look at the demon prototype asked 3 questions and did the mold for me i sure was listening.

he was saying that this new weight they got in was really sweet. but it required a reverse rigging set up. he showed me how to do it with a sweet beaver. i tryed it with my favorite baby bush hog. knowing full well i was going to buy some weights to try.. the key to the rig is the right hook size in a baby bush hog a 4/0 ewg gammy. the weight by sismic is 1/4 oz. of course i texasposed the hook.


the new v&m high tails would be the ticket as the stub would not hide the hook eye. which is between the kicker tails base.


a lead nail probly would work for finesse rigging-in fact i am going to try it that way-as you can see the hook point enters the head section of the bush hog..

this is what it looks like without the bush hog



some thing to think about. as there was 5 lil ole men in the back room. it pays to listen -though it does tend to get REAL deep in there at times-

That's a unique twist. I'll be interested to see how that works.

So how bad is the plastic damaged when you thread the eye of the weight over the barb? That looks like the tricky part.

It sure makes you think the presentation and how it would look. Might also work real well on in a high pressure area.

Hmmmmmmmm VERY INTERESTING.........Thats one I am gonna have to file away and try. That may be the ticket for those bass that dont want to bite the normal. I see how you could dead stick this bait kinda just shaking the tails.

I've seen this done last month. The lure falls totally different using this method.

bass ackwards
the plastic was not tore up except where the hook entered/exited.
your right it was a bit tricky rigging. the key is the hook size. i am going to try it finesse rig it sat. on badin using a lead nail in the head..

i still think a weight insert is better than a bell sinker type, theres something fishy about the way the sinker is on the hook, I'd rather have it in the plastic, or just alter a weighted jig hook

the weight does not come off very easy-i thought i would to-the wire on the weight is suround by the bait the hook is thru the wire eye. up on hook set the weight is out of the way. the only thing i see may go wrong is with bigger weights banging arond inside the fishes mouth.

pnj
i use a segmented lead nail -looks like a nail- not all ribbed like that one..

that weight getting in the way of the hookset is my beef with it, and whose to say these old men aren't up to "no good" by letting some good looking young man fall prey to their own evil ways of disillusionment , by allowing him to eavesrop on thier secrets

If you were rigging it like you've shown, wouldn't it make more sense to have the bullet weight facing the other way, to wiggle through foulups, and weeds better?

Zooker, You do know that a bottom presentation, is nothing more, or less than that.Yes with a bottom presentation, a certain bait profile and fall rate will increase your catch, but givin enough time , when bass are feeding on bottom,I haven't ever seen anything not work & then there are days that they aren't wanting a bottom oriented lure and you could throw your best lure and get very little if any results. I do in fact use the gitzit glider weights alot.started inserting them in baits I skipped around & under pontoon boats.They were designed for tube baits, but they can be inserted through any plastic.

In saying the previous post. Zooker, try my modified dropshot rig trick. take a weight of any sort turned for any end you want thread a peice of line through it to make a loop. The loop can be of any size you want it to be. Then insert the line in through the side of a splitring. This allows the weight to be pulled free when snagged up without losing the rest of the rig.Insert the split ring in through or behind the plastic bait, the loop length will allow you to insert it behind the plastic bait , inserting the splitring through the hook shank. I have got to go to work, but I can draw , or scan a picture for you when I get home. Be safe out there. P N J

after trying this i found that the sismic weight destroyed the bait on the first fish. i then dug up a pack of screw in 1/8 oz worm heads. i caught 5 bass on the same bait, rigged like this. i found that the v&m high tail-bush hog type- bait excells in this techquie. just screw the weight in flush on the head of the bait and work the same way as you normally would.

I wonder if this rigging technique could be applied to other things with success, such as tube baits. The rigging with a tube bait would be a little bit more difficult, but I bet you could make it work with some glue or something so it wouldn't tear the usually thin plastic that tubes are made of. I'm going to give it a try and I'll let you know how I make out. Good idea Zook.
