I'm Going to get in TROUBLE for Showing this Fishing Rig

[@dawnparker2014]

I think you could use that bait anywhere. The heck with livescope. Let's get back to good ole fishing instincts! Thanks mikey for the video and the secret..tight lines..

[@poodymeiner3125]

My recent setup of a 3/32 weedless jig from bass pro and a Zman MinnowZ in bad shad. I’ll skip it under docks, I’ll rip it across the top, I’ll let it fall to the bottom and hop it across the bottom. You’ve got more of a dedicated pattern with this setup, but there’s even more versatility to be had with this.

[@joshgordon2484]

Thanks. Do you nose hook it as was done in this video, please?

[@poodymeiner3125]

@@joshgordon2484 I do, but with the bass pro weedless jigs you maybe go 1/8 of an inch through the nose and pop back out.

[@pauleckert2175]

Going to try this in early June on guntersville lake while I am down there for a week

[@cheetoz6902]

Beats keitech . I have been hammering on the chartreuse. Killer bait

[@RyanHanksFishing]

Awesome day on the water with you brother and stoked about this rig. Using this on the 4.1 Prodigy this Spring is going to absolutely crush them. Docks, Shad/Herring Spawn 💰

[@douglynch9012]

Just placed an order yesterday with Cast and spoke with Ryan briefly. Looking forward to trying the 3 inch Prodigy out on Smallmouth here in east Tennessee on our local rivers. I see a lot of potential with this bait.

[@kenmccarthyfishing]

Thank you for sharing, and Ryan is an awesome guy with so much passion for the Cast Prodigy Baits❤️👊

[@RyanHanksFishing]

Thanks so much brother!

[@FreedomFishing]

Love the hush hush sneaky leak haha. Working on a few sneaky lures for this year myself, other than my worm. Beefed up my heavy setup too, let's gooo.

Absolute Fire... dropping the juice! :)

[@josephhrnciar9376]

Wow….that looks juicy!! Thanks Mike!! 🍻🍻

[@e.1228]

Still waiting for the forward facing sonar sweepstakes😁. Hey lowrance throw Mikey a bone. 🤟

[@crazyk9754]

Love the video. My Q, is the bait more effective in clear or stained water.

[@UnknownNorcalAngler]

I’ve seen a few other videos of guys using the weighted nail so I think the secret is already out 😂

[@Bankfishindude]

Try and save me a couple of the pink ones Balzz!! Lol🎣

[@mattthomen1608]

Always nice to have options when it gets funky.......2d sonar and a little more work.....will still get a few bites.dont have the gear to do the whole ball of wax... then ride the drift and slang, slang, slang the baits 🤠🤙🎣

[@coltonn322]

That is savage almost like live bait. Reminds me of nose hooking a fluke weightless which has been around a minute

[@johnrayner5599]

Looks amazing brother!!!

[@basssolutionsoutdoors3856]

Love it! Awesome tip bro

[@FaithNFishinNFire]

They are dang good! I bought some after the first video fishing them with a belly weight in muddy water and they have an amazing action and texture

[@mikeybalzz]

Which belly weight hook are you using and on which size?

[@FaithNFishinNFire]

“Flashy swimmy boy” my bad

[@patrickmahoney3479]

[@mikeeller557]

Nice one Thanks Mikey

[@pennysgarage]

I wish Gambler made a Lil EZ sized bait with a deeper belly for this kind of rig 👌

[@booster4470]

Looks great!

[@blind_eye_fishing]

I've actually seen this talked about but used a different bait and just put in a light nail weight. Didn't have to pull out a rattle first.

[@gianfrancocurotto4051]

The juice has been spilled 🧃 😭

[@Glock-1]

If you take a hitch hiker and screw it in all the way then nose hook through the hitch hiker will save a ton of baits

[@slowjamcdub]

Great vid braw!!!!👍

[@mikeybalzz]

👊

[@gophilmvisuals2587]

💪🏻 that is awesome #BuffaloNy deff loves your channel Me and my buddy have started a channel based off some lures you have provided for us fishermen to be better and get better bites .. Mike and Ryan awesome Vid

[@scottjordon]

Seems to me if you are going to nose hook the bait, wouldn’t it be cheaper to use minnows or shiners? Just asking Mikey 😊

[@lakeratatouille]

Oh snap! Y’all gonna feel the heat on this one hahaha!

[@fishinwithmcfly2113]

🔥🔥🔥🔥 sneaky fire lol

[@RedLeg-Industries]

Isn't that a hover shot basically?

[@racerxv6valvoline424]

On my way to the store.....

[@wpgordone352]

Yep , Ballz !!! You just let the Cat Outta Tha Bag , for Sure !!! Really gone get in Serious Trouble for This !!!! 🤓😄 Hey , Thanks Man !! You are a Real Good Dude !!! Appreciate the Tip !! 🎣🐟🐟🐷🐴👹🐄🦍🦒🦖🐋🐳🐋🐳 OMG !!!! It's A WHALE !!!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😉🤠

[@timmcmaster6435]

secret juice 😅

[@larryvilla6869]

I feel like when the bait gets ripped off the hook you’ll lose a lot of weights. That’s my only issue with this technique. Other than that it’s genius.

[@LowBrowFishing]

I love new techniques! Did you see what I did with a switchblade and a Texas rig? Spoiler - It's bonkers!

[@mikeybalzz]

No did you just post it?

[@LowBrowFishing]

@@mikeybalzz Yeah. Last couple of videos. I've been playing mad scientist lately, lol! I think you'd be proud.

[@needmofishin5765]

sounds like a Banjo Minnow.

[@leightonreid4391]

Not every Bass fisherman has expensive electronics. Show tips WITHOUT these. Most fishermen can't afford these. The challenge to find them yourself is gone.

[@sl_fishing]

He said in the video multiple ways to fish it. Not everything has to be done by the book.

[@TheCo-Angle]

Totally with ya but if same thing happens to you as me, the minions will be bashing you for being out of touch and how “most guys have made livescope a part of their fishing”. Was thinking maybe I should try to make an old school fishing channel for us “out of touch” guys so there’s someone besides old Randy B making videos without live imaging

[@masonlee9609]

He said you can skip docks with it

[@paulaffholder5472]

Go back a few years, tons of videos without forward facing technology😂

[@sl_fishing]

@@TheCo-Angle I think instead of putting the effort into saying what you can’t do bc of what you can’t afford, put that time and effort into figuring out how YOU CAN make this technique work for you and your style of fishing. I don’t have live scope, but instantly I started thinking about ways I can use this technique to fit my style of fishing.

[@shayparis2213]

Im sorry you got in trouble.

[@mikeybalzz]

thank you.

[@jeremyrench4592]

I bet this rig will smash smallies man

[@mikeybalzz]

no doubt

[@terrybonsell1561]

This rig would be 1 bass, 1 rig gone

[@RyanHanksFishing]

Actually 90% of the time the fish gets hooked and the bait slides up the line. Simply unhook the fish and slide the Prodigy back into place

[@Supergrassking]

My question is have you ever actually got in TROUBLE for any of your advice?

[@mikeybalzz]

there's actually a few people who really don't like me for some of the vids i've posted. you'd be surprised how butt hurt people can get when it comes to fishing.

[@Supergrassking]

@@mikeybalzz what a shame. Glad you do what you do. Enjoy your videos and there information.

[@bassonfly66]

Gotta laugh at all the FFS hate! Guys, if you don't want FFS, or can't afford it, that's fine...but don't bash it. It's just a newer technology that you have the option to use...or not. This is merely another presentation. The sonar return that the tungsten gives makes it easier to track with FFS, but it's also a bit like "tight lining" or "moping" for our northern guys. Anglers have been using those techniques for years before FFS was even thought of. So bashing Mikey for FFS is ridiculous. The technique/presentation catches fish...regardless of the electronics, or lack thereof installed on your boat. Hell, a guy in a float tube could employ this presentation in the right conditions & absolutely whack 'em! And to the dude that claims he could outfish most of the Elite Series pros from the back of the boat...all I can say is bullshit! You've obviously never shared a boat with one of these guys. They are at the peak of the game for a reason. And, newsflash, it's NOT because they have the best electronics available. Look at someone like John Cox, he's got a unit on the console & one on the bow...pretty basic setup. But if there's a decent shallow water bite that can be established, he's gonna shine & take your money!

I'm going to get in trouble for saying this...WHAT!!!...another swimbait to buy. Come on man I'm running out of money and boat storage. A little humor from one of your subscribers.

[@mikeybalzz]

the struggle is real. just remember i go thru the same process in the vids - i try something out hoping not to like it, and then i like it and catch fish on it and buy like 30 of them 😑. at this point my retirement is going to be the most epic fishing rummage sale to ever occur in the continental US 😂

[@joshuagreene9976]

This looks good... I need it... I hate you

[@mikeybalzz]

i should've apologized in advance at the beginning of the vid 🤣 ryan had me ordering tungsten nail weights even, something i swore i'd never buy.

Dude , I fish for walleye. Pitching light Jigs is very basic. You should not be bragging about your skills if that's new to you. Bet I can outfish most elite pros from the back of the boat. Sorry I am usually much more humble. But I got strong feelings about it.
