An AMERICAN Application of a New JAPANESE Finesse Rig (I made it BETTER)

There's a lot of finesse rigs that come over from Japan that I don't feel have the applicability to outperform other rigging systems currently used in the United States...this is NOT one of those.

This is why I watch your channel. Not only do you catch the big mothers, you share and teach new techniques we can all try,and apply in our fisheries. Keep up the good vids.

[@michaeldarby2242]

The lake he is at is unique, it's a diamond in a gold nugget. The 3-4# fish he's catching is what I consider a "dink" in that lake.

I've watched so many of those "social media videos" you're talking about, discovered your youtube this week, I freaking love it. And love your bass fishing dream story as well! Thanks a lot.

[@jasonconrad215]

Thanks Ben I love it! I tend to get discouraged when a senko, square bill or shakey head aren’t getting bit. You’ve taught me a lot since KZbin introduced me to your videos!

So. I ordered everything from the list above. The hooks haven't come yet, but I tried the rod and reel today with a light 3 inch swimbait today. Was amazed at how far it casted. I have been impressed the with 6th sense stuff I've picked up the past couple weeks . Definitely thinking of swapping out a couple of my rods now.

Little tip instead of buying nail weights save your broken ned rig heads like if the hook breaks off save it and use it like a nail weight works Awsome for this application

[@nathanielsams6552]

Thank you so much,for your input 😊

[@theangleraquarist]

I think it’s also called hover strolling? It’s basically a more natural damiki rig. I heard the juggle is also good for a nose hook and a nail weight in the belly. Put an owner cps spring in the nose and it catches 5 times more fish for the plastic. The juggle is one of the greatest plastics in the last few years

[@rickshipley7232]

Great video. Already ordered my baits going to try it

[@PrometheusZandski]

This is the hot new method. You can do this and make your own, but the nail weight will fall out and tear soft plastic. Or as you saw at 15:13, the weight pulls the plastic away from the hook and you are left only with the hook. You can buy premade hover rigs at coretackle. The rig they sell is integrated so the weight is on the hook. The whole thing is inserted where you want in the back, and then is completely covered by the plastic. Because it's one piece, you won't have the wight pulling the plastic away from the hook.

[@rogerhall5532]

The juggler hook works Awsome for this also

[@keithtidwell3644]

I bought all the content from this video love the way you share, thank you so much.

[@cormacmccarthy1559]

Hey Milliken Fishing, thanks man. I've rigged this a little different, you may find it useful. I just use a bait hook and thread it out the bottom of the plastic and super glue it. Then just Carolina rig it with a small weight. It may be a similar presentation. Right on.... thanks for the videos.

[@levigarnerfishing5843]

This presentation can definitely help me with catching more finicky fish in tournaments. This will definitely help me maximize bites. It seems like it would definitely kill fishing it on beds because to me it would make sense because you can work it in place for an extended period of time. I just can't wait to see how big spotted bass react to it if those largemouth are coming unglued on it. Thank you for providing the information as well as entertaining tournament videos. They have definitely helped me become a much better angler and improve my critical thinking in tournaments. I have started finishing much higher in tournaments applying the knowledge and skill that you display and break down in your content.

[@jamesspurlock5136]

Heat shrink tubing works great for all size and types of hooks

[@stanmanmedia]

I don't believe the smallest details of this rig matter, but I agree with the premise because last fall when not much was biting at the river I went to a very similar bait and jiggled it and splashed it in place near the top and got hit when nothing else seemed to be working. So I like the idea.

[@drew3021]

I've been using this technique with the cheap Walmart jordan Lee drop shot minnows. It's been killing them. Been using ned easy shinner with there little 1/32 ewg hook they have and using it as a jerk bait. Doing it on slack line gives it a darting action they can't leave alone.

[@thomasshileny4551]

I think I'm gonna have a use for this rig and I'm gonna start trying it in the next week or two. Not for largemouth though. I'll let you know

[@Apostle_Fishing]

Cant wait to try this out. Also what size nail weight would you recomend?

[@Big_willf]

Hey Ben since you don’t mind using a weight with the head being exposed maybe try the big bite baits Ned head screw lock

[@quintenlowe4913]

Hi Ben , thought of something ,what if you cast the darter jig head from do -it with out the hook and clean it up a bit say the 1/8 or even 1/4 and stick in in the front ,I'm sure it won't pull out as the darter as a barb. Will give it a try my self. thanks take it easy

[@davidwinebrenner2011]

Oh yeh I’m digging this

[@hunterm7624]

Saw a Hover video last night --- can not recall the gentleman's name. He suggested using a lighter to heat the nail weight (perhaps 8-10 seconds) to avoid loss of terminal tackle & subsequent tearing of soft plastic. I'll be trying "a dose of heat" this week !

[@FindingAdventure]

Just buy the core tackle hover rig and you’ll be playing around with rigging a lot less! No nail weights lost

[@FishiganMilligan]

Hey Milliken, Fishigan Milligan here. Great stuff. I wonder if they would work in the saltwater world on reds and trout. 🤔

[@buzzworth2396]

😯 ....Dude!!! You just showed me something awesome. Right now I'm going through the lock jaw syndrome with my local hot spot. They are killing small Bluegill since there's no shad. They will strike topwater before the light hits the sky early morning. I've had a small success with the original fluke rigged with a 1/0 worm hook but they lose interest within 30 minutes. Never considered a hover shot. Thanks to you, I'm fixing to kill em tomorrow morning!!!! Have you ever tried scent added to your bait??? Lately, that's been my secret. I use Fishsticks attractant. It is kinda like chap stick like Chummin Rub used to be but better. I'm even going to try it on a Roboworm. Time for me to study Hover shot today and get all the info I can take in. Free rig works great around here. But I've showed too many that technique. Thank you for sharing

[@gettintothapoint9769]

Love this video. Awesome bait.

[@mbays85]

How would a loop knot effect the action? Do you think the nail weight would give the bait a more nose down attitude when fished vertically like a damiki?

[@dne3142]

Hey Milliken, I'm a huge fan so I would never question your knowledge or integrity. I'm just a curious person, so I was wondering how long do you research your baits before you break them down like this? You're so educated about it which makes it seem like you've been fishing these techniques for years! I just think it's pretty incredible that you just find out about these baits and you're so confident about them when you break it down. Just a curiosity thing brother

[@MillikenFishing]

Honestly I feel like I can gather so much information using my livescope in such a short amount of time, paired with my experience using similar techniques/rigging methods at different times of year on a wide variety of different fisheries...that when I see the fish react like they did to this rigging method, I know it's legit.

[@ChristineS.-bv3pn]

Very Nice parabolic rod; however, the description @ American legacy is misleading. The eyelets are micro eyelets and will make braid to leader application difficult. Is this rod available with different size eyelets?
