How to Fish the Damiki Rig | Beginner to Advanced

[@kingofsl8891]

I like that walleye guys have been doing this for decades and now bass guys are on it

[@Wired2Fish]

Well, it's been in bass anglers arsenal for a long time too but it's quite a bit more situational than in the walleye world. Works well for lake trout and pike too!

[@ZoofSkillzFishing]

We use this technique in South Africa to great success in saltwater. I personally, have caught 59 different saltwater species using this rig. A very underestimated approach, which can accumulate great results!!!

[@Wired2Fish]

Thanks for sharing and proof that a minnow-imitating bait like this catches fish the world over!

[@WhiteOwlOnFire_XXX]

Too bad they hate whites in SA and have ruined all the good stuff whites have built. They ruined that country the second they went after whites

[@bradleyrussell1973]

Thanks Gussy!! Congrats on the big win!! And it’s soooooo cool to see it get done from a deep-v like your Lund!! We use deep-v’s on Dale Hollow with full windshields. That dry, wind-free ride is priceless in Ky Januarys!

[@terminalmartyr5431]

Yummy has a head called the FF sonar. It’s good I use them. They have eagle claw lil nasty hooks on them. I use the white ones in either 1/8 or 3/16 depending on depth. My favorite bait to use is the berkley gulp minnow. The 3 inch one

[@topraider5284]

It's like your walleye fishing for bass

[@Wired2Fish]

Catches 'em all. Lake trout, pike walleye, panfish and more.

[@joegrande4848]

He catches a fish or if anybody catches a good fish it's always a plus

Great job Jeff.

[@shawneldridge4465]

🎣 Great video and great fish catching there Plus Great techniques and great information too. Enjoyed watching

[@Wired2Fish]

Glad you enjoyed it Shawn, thanks for watching.

[@kickerwormz3262]

Beautiful boat. Lund boats are under rated. Every once in a while, here in Southern California I'll see one at Lake Perris or Diamond Valley Lake.

[@michaelcharach8810]

Those jigs are sweet have used them lots

[@melissamessmer6544]

I catch bass in Missouri during winter using the damiki rig my presentation is like a pendulum I cast it out and let it swing back to boat on a semi slack line

[@Wired2Fish]

Cool Melissa. That's an excellent and very natural way to present the bait. Away from the boat is an intelligent strategy for covering water or targeting wary fish.

[@leonbrowning3695]

Sooooo.....basically just like vertical jigging for crappie

[@Wired2Fish]

Pretty much!

[@Cornuts1000]

Awesome video Jeff and congratulations on your Classic win!! What knot are you tying for the jig head?

[@wickedbassn]

I believe a Palomar, but not sure. I wonder if a loop knot would help keep the line more vertical. If its not said in this video, I'm sure there is a video Jeff or Matt Stefan detailing it.

[@joegrande4848]

Nice intro catching a nice bass brother 👌 👍 😎 😀😀😀

[@Offthegridfishing]

That’s crazy a technique for ffs that how’s bad it has gotten .

[@davidharris4030]

How far above if you don’t mind?? I guess I can find out myself but coming from you would be a lock! Thanks dude!

[@DavidMccallister65]

It looks like you have something strapped on your trolling motor to shim it up so you can see your bait in front of the boat better? 🤔

[@johnbutler307]

Great video thanks

[@Wired2Fish]

Glad you enjoyed it John. Thanks for watching and dropping a comment.

[@NorthernMike]

Smeltinator? Who makes that jig head he was referring to? Thanks

[@kevinmcclung7310]

Man it’s not even fishing anymore all the computer screens and bass finders shits crazy

[@thomas8455]

Where are at fishing

[@citydogpack]

Might be a stupid question here, but I’m a bank fisherman and I want to try vertical presentations such as damiki rig, tight lining, drip shorting etc but there’s no way to be above the bait off the bank. Would it be a good idea to try these techniques using a bobber so that it can stay above the bait? Haven’t tried it yet but I will once we get open water here in NY

[@5.7.0bassin2]

I'm with ya I guss in a sense it would be a float n fly but I've been seeing videos about it and it catches them so once I've put here that's the first thing I'm trying

[@citydogpack]

@@5.7.0bassin2 yes I got the idea from float and fly. That’s a big smallmouth technique here in NY. I just wondered if it worked with baits other than a hair jig

[@920utdoors9]

Buy a boat lol

[@5.7.0bassin2]

No kidding I'm from pa lol but I was just watching Dave mercer and he was using a Ned head with a flatworm under a float

[@garylee1544]

I with you guy's on the float thing from the Bank. I was going to try Thill Wobble Bobbers for this Technique, not sure if it will be too much action though. Anyone got bobber suggestions?

[@douglasspickler4925]

I noticed a flash echo on the mega live. What causes that? Interference from other units?

[@lesyoung9294]

Will the damiki rig work at night in summer for suspended smallmouth?

[@NonstopPanicOutdoors]

What size hook on the smeltinator do you use?

[@cg-keuka]

Get the fish back into the water. How would you like to be held under water as long as you held the fish out of water. Be a better angler.

[@theguy9901]

Bass can live past 10 mins out of water. Humans can’t live past 4 minutes without oxygen.

[@cg-keuka]

Really. I wonder what their survival rate is after they have been out for 10 minutes. We all know what the fish looks like so I stand by my words. Get it back in the water or better yet , let it go at the side of the boat.

[@Bosanovadude1]

@@cg-keuka a lot of them die in summer tournaments after the spawn in the heat of the south

[@romaloboda2280]

What is the reason to use a spinning rod and not BFS casting? Thanks.

[@NorthernMike]

Usually because it's a lighter (weight) technique

[@romaloboda2280]

@@NorthernMike And what is the problem with not using BFS, especially since you don't need long casts with Damiki Rig.

[@NorthernMike]

@@romaloboda2280 Overall I don't think that would be a problem. Personally, I feel light hits better while using spinning gear and I'm willing to bet that's what happens sometimes with this bait even though I haven't used it yet.

[@MJ_Bass]

Did he mention what weight jig heads he typically goes with?

[@okay149]

One of the jigs was a zman finesse eyes. The 1/8 and 3/16 is a 1/0 hook which to me is the perfect size for the application the 3/8 are larger 3/0 hooks that, in my opinion, are a little long for the jerk shadz.

[@dangerfield85]

@@okay149 that smaller finesse eyez pairs really well with a 3" minnowz too. Not totally impressed with the mould, got a couple with the line tie recessed in the jighead. Lighter as always better, I went with 1/8oz on the 1/0 and 1/4oz on 3/0 for diezel minnowz and goatz

[@basschaser9356]

Just like ice fishing . Vertical fishing

[@codyjohnson5468]

Does it work without livescope?

[@Wired2Fish]

Very much so. Still nice to have some electronics like 2d sonar to find fish first. Then hover over em.

[@codyjohnson5468]

@@Wired2Fish how bout bank fishing? Is there any tricks or tips? I'm on the bank more than on a boat. I fish almost everyday here in Oklahoma.

[@darringarner1823]

Meh, this isn’t much technique, find the fish on your screen, toss a bait down on them and wait, why not just get a bobber and worm, eat a sandwich till you get a hit, maybe even use a cane pole with string while your at it

Dimiki rig? Like another comment said this is just vertical jigging. Why did this guy re-name it? Lol

This is how animals become endangered y’all make it to easy this is a fishing video game idk 🤷🏾‍♂️
