A drop of worm oil on the shirt material/threader makes a world of difference.

My wife and I met your Dad, Tom, at the Lake Placid boat landing yesterday. We chatted about you and your brother. Come to find out he “summers” in Minocqua. My wife is from Merrill, my home city is Racine, and we lived in Tomahawk for 23 years prior to selling our home and retiring to Fort Pierce permanently 2 years ago. We visit friends In Wisconsin every summer and fish many of the lakes in Boulder Junction. He told me to drop you a line. He was on his tire-squealing, electric trike enjoying a ride when we chatted. I enjoy your videos. Congrats on the Angler Magazine cover and article!

Stupid suggestion - but get some saliva/water on the skirt before you run it through. It won't bust half as often. I also do this with fresh soft plastics if I feel the hook isn't clearing the bait easily enough (mainly for summertime when I lower my drag due to the softer skin of the fish when it's warmer out) Love your vids, dude. Thanks for all the effort you put in! You remind me of my Uncle who passed away a few years ago. Loved fishing with him when I visited Florida. Take care man.

[@donpanico7708]

Hey Mikey, I do the same thing with a paper clip. I open it up straight and make a little hook on one end. I slip the skirt on the hook end and then pull it through.

[@SeeLifeBro]

Good tip💯

[@mikeybalzz]

Simple and easy I like it

[@chucksmith8382]

Still a big fan of the Halo rods myself! Have been using them now for about 3 years. Have 6 casting models and 2 spinning. Lots of bang for the buck! Another great video young man!

[@mikeybalzz]

Appreciate it sir!

[@randallford8199]

Good idea 😊

[@notsogood6249]

A small straw also works well with a little drop of super glue to hold the skirt in place.

[@hunterbohman7555]

Definitely going to try this out. Looks like it gives the senko a new look, bass may just not be used to that and that can be a killer way to get committed bites

[@rodcashman4793]

Very impressive 👏

[@dangrady0311]

THAT never gets old! Nice job Mike! Thanks for the tip! Give Bogs a scooby snack for me! Tight lines!

[@mikeybalzz]

Will do!

[@kennyg3192]

Mikey, I’ve been doing that for the past five years. I will take a lot of Ned Bates and I will take it and crisscross a little pattern on top or on the bottom of the hook so it looks like a skirt on the bottom next to the hook and set up and down, it falls back down in the water you can see the skirt material flickering and it draws a strike and eight out of 10 times I’m landing that fish😮 but I’ve actually use my grandmother‘s threading tools. Just like to insert a rattle there’s other ways of doing it and spending money on them tools and they work you just gotta do the right application with the right application and someone else comment put some oil on it and take a dab of Loctite glue gel, and it will stay in plastic until the rips apart 😊😊😊😊😊 I love your content Mikey ,!!😊

[@vinnylivoti9567]

Mikey That looks like the tool we used back in the day with the Mojo pencil weight rigs. Glad to see The Bogs is Back in Town! Mikey maybe lub the skirt material once you get it pulled through and started with some fish scent to help it pull through and scent your bait at the same time. I would also try that setup on a Gika/Jika Rig.

[@51ddb]

Bobbin threader. If you tie, you have one. Hadn’t thought to use it that way. Thanks

[@larrywigmore1243]

Great idea. I think I'm just going to use one of the leather needles I have and try it first. I'm frugal 😅😂

[@jackstein5486]

Nice mod Mike!❤

[@XxNiteStockerxX]

This will be fire at the pond where I see dragonflies EVERYWHERE!

[@kenmccarthyfishing]

That’s really cool Mikey,thanks you for sharing ❤

[@adwhite804]

It is also much easier to thread thru with the tab cut off. Thread it in the tool, draw it tight to the work then clip and pull. As well as what's been mentioned. A bit of work oil or a light spray of scent to help pass thru easier. . I do this with 3 inch high float worms and leeches. Looks like a big fly or dragon fly on the water I guess. Seems to work

[@randallford8199]

Eye like your shows!

[@adwhite804]

It's basically a bobbin threader for tying jigs... wire I believe is a hair more sturdy

[@dennisnieradka6668]

You are a genius.

[@jamesscroggins646]

You can get already made at the guntersville bait shop. I haven’t used the worms, but the crawls work amazing

[@belldn3]

Looks like a dragonfly 😊

[@slimjimmy229]

Put some Bait Fuel on the skirt before pulling it through the plastic. It definitely helps.

[@mikeybalzz]

It's funny you say that after I shot the video and went back and edited it I was totally thinking about some kind of bait fuel or scent to help get that skirt material through

[@mattthomen1608]

I got that tool! I love it ! MBRF 💥🎣🤙.

[@mikeybalzz]

It's pretty cool!

[@bassmedic]

that's why i couldn't get them to bit in that same area the other day. seen a few there this past Thursday and could not get them to hit that stick bait.

[@garysfishtales]

Good mod.

[@Steve13lb12oz]

Been doing that for years with only modest success. That tool is a traditional fly tying tool. The skirt material does break kinda easily. I know you can’t mix elazTech material with plastic worms, the silicone has its drawbacks. I haven’t used living rubber material in my efforts. I think it might be a win.

[@nateperry3827]

You can also use a sewing needle to pull the thread through

[@anthonytingle6578]

Try putting it at the end of your bait to make it flicker like a fishes tail

[@jared5862]

A drop of bait scent oil on it will let it slip right through super easy

[@robertrobinson4778]

Try using a sail needle its not big its not super sharp but has a big eye for the skirt material

[@jimwarden9617]

Hey Bog!

[@blind_eye_fishing]

You could just buy the worms a company makes with the skirt material through the worm. Pre made might be the way to go for some people. And as someone else said that tool is just a bobbin threader used in fly tying.

[@mikeybalzz]

Very true but it's fun to mod the baits I got in the boat

[@blind_eye_fishing]

@@mikeybalzz yea but not everyone is like us with all the skirt material and customizing stuff already in the stash 🤷‍♂️😂. We are a little extreme with our fishing addiction lol

[@dontnonowuno9953]

I like it but its alot of work for a soft plastic thats going to last a fish or two.I guess if you pre rig for some different looks on beds irs cool

[@jamespetit1]

What lakes are you fishing usually...?

[@mikeybalzz]

This was Gville

[@lfcskater]

Man spit on that thang and you know the rest 😂

[@tomecalm7]

If I can't find that tool, wouldn't a hook eye on a thin wire Long shank hook get the job done. Like this mod. Will be trying.

[@donaldcase2971]

Put worm oil on it man .

[@raytubach8988]

Guitar string?..

[@paleryder2]

Good idea but it sure looks like a needle threader or a tool for hair extensions.

[@justinmalone8640]

Ah, like a wacky q bomb

[@ianlauhon8760]

What are you doing homie that's my jam dude I been doing it for years my buddies dad turned me on to it when he got back from Dale hallow. I put mine on the tail end it looks like a crawdad. Since you are putting it on front st put em through the neck on your lizards. Don't tell anybody else

[@mikeybalzz]

I like that I will give that a try didn't even think about putting it in the tail

[@o2man98]

Put some BaitFuel on the strands for lube.

[@mikeybalzz]

That's a great idea

[@mindobersaglia3374]

I have been doing that for about 4 years now, and you let the cat out of the bag.

[@thomasindler1576]

Looks different, more, bulk,or flash? But why didn't the experience , and testers ever think of it, fish look smooth, and simple,

[@rodlinvon-hugenstine5142]

IMO kemushi….. been kill’n for years
