Cool Techniqe

[Evan Pease]

I don't know if someone has already came up with this techniqe so I'll give the whole scenario.

I went fishing on a lake that had been closed for 3 or 4 years but there had been illegal fishing, a new, higher dam built, and a severe water shortage during that time. I fished senkos, finnesse worms, topwaters, and a lot more stuff I didn't even know I owned but the bass would barely take the bait and not get hooked. I decided to try something different. I put a 3/16 split shot about 18 inches above a 2/0 black wide gap hook with a baby bass superfluke jr. I hopped it fast enough to where the fluke came up to the surface then I would let it set. I caught some piggys after that then used lighter shot and caught more. Not had a chance to try it again but that will be my go to rig.

I have done this around here on days when the wind gets up to 25 or more mph -- however, I use it with a Senko.  I think of it as kind of like a mini-C-rig and have had good luck (some times I even use more then one split-shot, depending on the wind).

Try the same set-up but with a 1/8 oz clamp on bullet weight, a 1/0 hook, & a Zoom Trick Worm Rigged Wacky.
