  • When most people rig a paddletail on a jig head or weighted swimbait hook, they just rig it the same as everyone else…
    But what if there’s a better way to rig them?
    What if you rig them upside down?
    Or what if you manipulate the lure to better resemble the baitfish your target species is going after?
    Could that help you catch more fish?
    In this video, you'll learn a few unique ways to rig or change your paddletail to get more strikes.
    These tips include:
    - how to get a jig head to be more secure on a paddletail
    - what to do if the baitfish your target species are feeding on are very small
    - how to fix the lure if you've rigged it the wrong way (this will help it last longer)
    - and much more
    Have any questions about rigging paddletails?

    I've been learning salt water inshore fishing tactics in the carolinas. your site has given me some of the best info from tying knots (which i never had issue with brook trout fishing in the northeast) to baits and techniques. today i tried tony's tip on cutting the tip off the end of the slim shady (purchased thru salt strong!) used the "cut" shady with a trout eye jighead on 10 lb braid and a 15 lb leader strapped up on my toadfish rod and penn 2000 reel. (also tried mr. juice today!) i fish a narrow intercostal tidal creek...from the shore. had an 18" speckled trout "SLAM"" my shady today! boy that trout tasted good for dinner! love the info from tony and the brothers! "tight lines"

    Good idea about cutting the head a little, I find the tapered head does get chewed up and it loses its grip on the jig barbs. Plus like you said the bait it's a little smaller now in springtime. Will be testing out tomorrow, lol

    @Kgsoloman-ou6wm Před 4 lety +4

    The best way I have found to keep your soft plastics on is to use gel super-glue on the lure hooks of the jig head. This way you don't have to cut the soft plastic any or worry about smaller fish pulling your lure.

  • @bloodsweatnbass8918
    @bloodsweatnbass8918 Před 4 měsíci

    Rigging it upside down also allows for scent to be put in the little slit in the bait, like a pocket. I’d like to think it kinda flows out as I retrieve the lure.

  • @TomMendoladrums
    @TomMendoladrums Před 3 lety

    In took this lure in white with the same jig head to Hawaii the last two weeks. I tried other lures off the shore and rocks and nothing worked. I tried the package you sent me to check out and I’ started catching fish. The natives were looking at me like what the hell was going on. It worked! I put a young man in our family on a 4 foot trumpet fish which weighted 7lbs. The lure held up getting caught on rocks and Coral. My next test will be out of the channel Islands in California for a calico bass and yellow tail. Then trying for Land-locked striped bass in Lake Castaic California along with large mouth. I expect these lures will at least the attract them. I did not find them hard to rig.

    I used a Golddigger to fish a rain swollen river from shore for a couple hours today. I caught one nice Smallmouth in the beginning but realized I had accidentally rigged the bait upside down. I corrected that after releasing the Smallmouth and proceeded to use the bait properly, but caught nothing the remaining hour and a half!
    I'm wondering, does rigging a paddle tail upside down make it run deeper? Maybe the upside down tail tends to push the lure down? What do you think?
