How to Rig a Line Thru Swimbait! Make your own easy!

[@bruceraiken2806]

Great video, Thanx. Assume could rig a Keitech Fat 4.8" or even 5.8" similarly.

[@TheBaitmanTV]

Sure can!

[@fredsgonefishing8802]

Got one better bud!!! Use ribbed plastic wall anchor for line thru. Cut bottom of anchor size and screw into swim bait!!! DONT TELL ANYBODY I TOLD YOU!!!!

[@fredsgonefishing8802]

😉

[@petegentry7868]

Bout time somebody made a decent video demonstrating this! Thanks bud!

[@bayouburner281]

Algorithm suggested this video even though I watched it years ago, lol-Now I’m rigging up a line-thru Whale after watching again 🤠🤘🏼

[@TheBaitmanTV]

It’s telling me I need to stream tonihjt :)

[@rastarob01]

Great video very cool technique thank you

[@lashawngraham8236]

Dam good video Bro. On point and striaght to the point. I'm definitely going to use this technique i love swim baits. Thank you.

[@thomasborza1129]

I've used a rivet in place of the coffee stirrer to add weight. A Little more costly but it works great.

[@billwilson6055]

Rivets have worked great for me as well.

[@AdamSmith-mi6xk]

Great idea ! Gonna try it.

[@markraciborski4289]

What kind of rivets? What metal? Fattubes are impossible to find. I have looked at stainless steel fence cable sleeves, but to $$$.

[@NickTheAbbot405]

Would a lead weight work I don't have a lot tungston

[@TheBaitmanTV]

Yep sure would! I use the tungsten because it’s more compact. Play around find out what works best for you

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

I would love to embed this in my blog, and guessing others would as well but you have disabled that

[@TheBaitmanTV]

Hey Paul, My settings are set to enable embedding. I'm not sure what the issue is

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

cool looks to working now must of been my end, thanks

[@dannyq1958]

Niiice...I will definitely try this..Thanks for the tip..Great video as always..🖒

[@greg-leftguntersville-ridd9748]

Kevin Baxter shared your video with the Kayak Bass Fishing group on Facebook. I've watched, liked, and now subscribed. Good stuff. Keep it up!!!

[@TheBaitmanTV]

Greg -In Guntersville- Riddle thanks!

[@williambates9929]

I appreciate your tips great job on the videos

[@Roboworm99]

Go out the top and you have yourself a bait you can drag on the bottom

[@TommyHonkytonkytht]

exactly...with far less damage to the bass's gills

[@foreignbeggar3783]

I know this video is old, but maybe you’ll see it... will this rigging method work on any kind of soft swimbait?

[@TheBaitmanTV]

hateful Joey it will work on a lot of them!

[@bloblife]

Since the third hook in the treble is buried inside the bait, why wouldn't you just use a frog hook??

[@TheBaitmanTV]

Good question but the frog hook would be a little bit too bulky for the bait and wouldn’t allow it to have the same range of motion / swimming action

[@BradR1232]

Really appreciate your videos very useful information!

[@TheBaitmanTV]

Thanks Brad

[@bobbybrown4688]

When you hooked into a fish, is the weight able to come free so as less of a chance for the bass to throw the bait.

[@TheBaitmanTV]

Bobby Brown yes it's not pegged so the weight and bait can slide up the line. Lot better hook to land ratio

[@TimReeves-q6j]

Nice simple to tie rig

[@AdamSmith-mi6xk]

That is Awesome ! I bought some of these at the Classic and I am looking forward to trying it. Thank You !

[@jeremyjohnson8243]

nice. good idea ima try that.

[@TommyHonkytonkytht]

very easy to rig it the same way on top of the swimbait ' s head...hooked on the top causes way less damage to the bass

[@hughhenry9574]

I saw a similar process but your explanation to use a coffee stirrer was much better and accessible.... Thanks!

[@felipell]

that was great! thanks for sharing!

[@dennisstutzenburg2616]

I like the set up, just have 2 suggestions to the weight and hook. The hook can be bent together, so it will be closer to the body. Then the weight, you shown the sinker to be backwards in the body. Wouldn't be better to have the weight go into the body normally as the Texas hooking system?

[@MountainManThan]

Very informative, man! This channel is going to be big. Thanks for sharing.

[@billpratt3867]

I really like your videos keep them coming.

[@Z71Ranger]

Cool Tip...

[@mikehasten8640]

What size hook? Seems no-one says the size of the treble

[@TheBaitmanTV]

Depending on size of bait I'll go for a #2 all the way up to a 2/0

[@scottdore5438]

This is kinda like sewn on smelt we troll with for salmon and Lakers up here in maine very cool thanks for sharing this and good luck fishing sir

[@rdgsupafli]

Cool haven’t tried this kind of swimbaits yet can’t wait

[@johnschauder]

Nice, I’m going to try this now that a lot of the grass has died in some of the spots I fish.

[@fishfinder3583]

Now thats how you rig one Thanks for the video.

[@drmrjon]

You should probably stop drinking so much. Your hands are shaking way to much dude.

[@TheBaitmanTV]

Lol this was a long time ago. I also have low blood sugar n

[@fishinginthecity2375]

cool...ill have to try that .Thanks

[@teamflanneloutdoors5631]

Is the reason tungsten is recommended is because of the smaller size? Thanks for the tip! I've been on a swimbait pattern for a couple years now with pre rigged Storms with treble, but cant find anywhere here in central Illinois, now i can make my own.

[@TheBaitmanTV]

Darren Morgan yes sir, exactly. I think Storm discontinued most of their soft plastic line

[@jtm5546]

Slick deal, thanks for the tip!

[@LTOutdoors]

Another Great Video Kevin!

[@Randomstuff-iw4jo]

great tip man thanks alot will be using it soon

[@rickshannon6183]

Great video. Just wondered why the weight is the opposite of what it usually is?

[@TheBaitmanTV]

Wont pull through the nose and rip the bait as easy

[@shaunbarber2746]

Great tip thank you for sharing

[@dv6000hp]

awesome

[@TheBaitmanTV]

Thanks! You can do this on hollowbellys as well..just have to make a slit in the bottom.

[@davidatkins5575]

great rig, can't wait to try it out... thanks

[@Albagonzalezministry]

Cant wait to try this on future swimbaits, thanks for this !

[@lesterfishforfun9217]

thats pretty trick right there nice

[@AddictedAngler]

great set up I try it out

[@jaredgoodson4706]

Thank you! great video and music.

[@TheBaitmanTV]

Thanks!

[@hawk67always11]

i love this out of the box thinking keep it up

[@robertdanielson881]

Great video Baitman !

[@victorxavier9977]

Very cool tip! I've seen this before using a metal sleeve from a rivet but the plastic coffee stir is definitely the easier way to go. Have you ever fished this without any weight and If so does it swim properly? Thanks, you earned a sub!

[@TheBaitmanTV]

Victor Xavier no I haven't

[@TommyHonkytonkytht]

just rig it weightless and add nail weights as needed

[@BayJoua]

Nice, I'm going to try this on my paddle tail flukes.

[@TheBaitmanTV]

Nice! It'll work, downsize your trebles to your bait size

[@mikebledsoe2315]

TheBaitmanTV *awesome tip ☆☆☆☆☆ thumbs up an a sub too...*

[@jppsc79]

do you just use pliers to get the plug of plastic out of coffee stirrer? I'm thinking yes, but if there is an easier method i would love to know.

[@TheBaitmanTV]

No, or at least on these baits I dont have to..if you twist it like a screw the plastic will slide over it as your going through

[@jppsc79]

kewl beans thanx!

[@fishingkewo]

great info

[@irishmanbd8447]

can you do the same with a single hook texas rig style?

[@TheBaitmanTV]

Brandon Doten yes but your hook up ratio won't be as high

[@irishmanbd8447]

well that way you can make it weedless 😉

[@dustinedmiston8165]

You could of gave me some credit for telling you the name of the knot you use! Lol

[@TheBaitmanTV]

lol Thanks Man! True Story. I was filming Kelly Jordon on Lake Fork and was fishing with him. I went to tie on a crankbait, used this knot and he looked at me and was like "That's the knot you use"..I was like ugh oh busted...I said "yeah". He smiled and was like "Great Choice, thats the only one i used, It is the strongest". So i felt vaildated

[@dustinedmiston8165]

I've been using it for years. Kelly and I live on the same lake. Palestine I was showing him pictures of a 11 I caught outta there at Bassfest. He's a good guy.

[@TheBaitmanTV]

Dustin Edmiston he is great. Tell him helmet boy said hello if you see him again

[@dustinedmiston8165]

Will do! lol I can only imagine.

[@moc1969]

What size treble hook thanks

[@TheBaitmanTV]

Mike Curry #2

[@moc1969]

thanks

[@vabass7798]

should we peg it to stop the weight from moving?

[@TheBaitmanTV]

VA Bass that won't allow the line to slide like a Tru line thru

[@vabass7798]

nice keep up the videos. do you have a Install gram mine is @northern_virginia_angler

[@TheBaitmanTV]

@baxterthebaitman

[@proplay51]

Do you fish hollow body baits? If so, I would like to see how you rig those.

[@TheBaitmanTV]

Joe Coppola yes sir I have a full video on how to do that
