The Mojo Rig

[bigbill]

I watched the video here about the mojo rig. It's like the split shot rig only with a tad heavier weight so it will crash thru the weeds. Very interesting. I may try that soon since I checked out two of my haunts and the weeds are taking over. One has a deep hole near the drop off that I pull out fish around it but not out of it yet.

It will be interesting if any deeper setups will prove success. I can wait to try different patterns now.

I need to have my family with me who fishes so they can learn all this stuff too. My youngest son of 33yo is a natural bass fisherman. I tell him once how to do it and he does better than me. I guess it's the youth.

I just finished a tournament on Lake Champlain where I ended up fishing the MOJO rig almost exclusively. I placed 6th which is the best I have ever done in my league.

Thank you Glenn!!!

You can add enough weight to crash through the weeds if you want to but I use a 1/16th oz weight so I could fish on top of the submerged vegetation. So yes, it's just like the splitshot rig except it doesn't pick up the weeds as much as the splitshot. It pulls through easier and with less disturbance as to not spook weary fish. 

 

PS Thanks Felix and congratulations. That's awesome.

Thanks it's a 1/16oz weight. Sounds great.
