This CHANGED the way I fish a TEXAS Rig?!?!

My buddy ‪@BassQuest‬ taught me a trick that changed the way I fish a Texas Rigged Worm. In this video I show you how to rig a soft plastic worm so you can fish it in a variety of techniques.

I just squeeze on a split shot in place of the second bobber stop. Works great plus you get a little noise when the tungsten hits the lead split shot

[@mikeybalzz]

That's interesting I like it!

[@BSmith-qt7ev]

Unless you are fishing a floating soft plastic w a very small hook....your lure does not float up off the bottom....it is a more subtle presentation....but put it in a pool....they don't float. Always love Mikey Ballz!!

[@aarongreenlee7867]

Camera looks really good!! I'd add a 3rd bobber stop to back up the 2nd one, and maybe add a bead behind the weight for a little extra clack. Just my 2 cents. Great tip, especially for us kayak guys!

[@rogerbrand223]

Video looks great. We can tell it's an upgrade. Great stuff as always Mike.

[@richardj6593]

[@Outdoor_Jack]

Love the new camera awesome content Mikey!

[@kevindespino8910]

Great tip thanks man

[@bobschlotterfishing2678]

Now this is an awesome trick. Multi purpose rig i love it. Never would have thought about it... Thanks.

[@kimskitchen123]

Definitely going to give it a try! Thanks!

[@juzzonmorris]

Great technique!🔥🔥🔥👊🏾 Niiiiice camera bro.!

[@expomm]

Great tip!

[@edwardcourtney903]

Great idea Thank you Enjoying the show!!

[@patrickmahoney3479]

Very useful and practical tip.

[@dennisederer3594]

Great camera. I fish from a kayak and have been using this setup with success. Two presentations on a single rod and reel. Thank you.

[@JoseMartinez-zi4km]

Camera looks great. The context is awesome as always.

[@chuckgt7715]

This is amazing!

[@55Dag]

Camera looks good. That's been one of my little tricks for a while now. I buy the cheaper bobber stops because they are a little smaller that the sixth sense. Also when you slide it wet your line because if you go to fast you can " burn" your line and make it weak.

[@winstonsolomon2259]

Thanks @Mikeybalzz fishing. I’m new to bass fishing and I caught my first bass ever on this rig.

[@TrueNorthOutdoorAdventures]

Great video man! Helpful tip.

[@bmwstan1]

Great Tip!

[@pat632]

Thanks for sharing this great tip Miky!! Greetings from the Netherlands, Pat. 👊🏼👍🏼🇳🇱🎣

[@terryorr3771]

Camera footage looking good bro. Thanks for the tip!

[@pb-bx1ll]

Great video thank you

[@rogerglasco5941]

Great video. I will try it.

[@chrisboyd1408]

Thanks for sharing

[@nathanblake3608]

I have started to go more towards the free rig for similar reasons. It works great and once your used to it you can get an idea on how to make it fish more like a Texas rig where the weight stays tighter, or more like a c rig where the bigger rod bumps make the weight jump and slide away making it more of a c rig. But I still don’t feel like anything can ever completely replace the traditional Texas Rig.

[@RealMitchRapp]

Camera looks great… Super clear. I tried this Texas/Carolina trick just this morning and it is bad ass. I did get a little bit of slide so when I switched over to Carolina I tied a knot behind stopper number one “closest to the hook“ after I set it off by 18 inches. Works like a champ

[@MadMax-dd5to]

I’ve done this procedure for several years now. You can change your fishing style instantly plus it’s one less rod on your deck. Great info.

[@DouglasSubbs]

Appreciate the update... depending on the weight, i will add two stoppers between the weight and the hook to keep that slide from happening

[@mikegardiner3934]

great shortcut tip, Mikey! I don’t fish a TR hardly at all, or a CR these days, but this is a nice flexible alternative 👍

[@georgebersis8918]

That was simple and amazing

[@JoeSmith-pe5qv]

looks very good big difference keep it up.

[@ThatsSoGiorgio]

Wow. Neat trick. Definitely would consider doing this and trying a C rig for the first time. I love the Texas rig so much that I never want to try anything else but this is so convenient.

[@alphazeke]

Great video!

[@johnrayner5599]

Awesome tip brother and the camera is killing it!!!

[@2mouthbassin]

I used to do this. Need to get back to it. Thanks bro!

[@KissmyBasss]

Love simplicity!

[@andrewgilmore9054]

I like it ! Versatile.

[@VernonTwins]

Great quality and colors from the new camera. Back in the day before bobber stops like these I was putting the line through a clear or red bead twice. On top and bottom. Works great and does not move. Btw: Get the smooth kind at hobby lobby in craft dept.

[@mikesawyer6742]

Thanks Mikey!!! Like the camera!

[@Tbowie13]

Good tip Balz

[@maxcole3930]

Yeap this is great addition for Texas rig, I have been using second bobber stop exactly like this for few years now. I always thought of it as adjustable finness carolina . I only rig my texas baits up this way because it's so universal & always have one tied up on the yak!

[@Mr40tt]

"Brilliant" thank you!!!!!!!!

[@gregmiller1844]

Great tip, I think I will start rigging one of my Texas rigs that way. I usually have 2 riggedup.

[@kenmccarthyfishing]

New camera looks AWESOME!!!🔥🔥

[@justinsmitley7619]

Freaking genius thanks bro..

[@lampiesjonker2532]

Also use the bobber stops on my Texas rig, works for me. Greatings from South Africa.

[@jessecooper9795]

Been using a T stop like that for years. OG Texas rig catches em super shallow or balzz deep! 💪🎣

[@nawinchester]

Great variation of a Texas rig.

[@sompasongs]

That's a great tip!

[@mikeybalzz]

Full credit goes to my boy @bass_quest

[@wcarione]

I too like some of the owner hooks. You are right, they don't get the love they should

[@castandchill]

just tried this tonight and caught some fish using a senko ! right on for sharing

[@j.r.tidwell3318]

Great info, liked and subscribed

[@mikeybalzz]

Thanks bud

[@XxNiteStockerxX]

BRILLIANT!

[@NormNewsome-qh6zs]

That's a great tip..I like to peg my bullet weight bout 15 inches from the hook and have trouble with it sliding down..next time out I'll be using bobber stops👍

[@CoreyL984]

I will definitely try this. Camera looks good

[@jbclouser]

Great idea it’s more like a finesse Carolina rig ! Camera is great much clearer 👍

[@bigmikefishingchonicles9950]

thanks bro

[@indybob770]

Mike B love the idea man. Going to use to stick some pigs

[@nills2gills811]

I’m terms of bass fishing tournament tips this is genius, cost = 1 more sinker stop, effectiveness =2 whole setups

[@timmcmaster6435]

DUDE!!!!!! Genius!!!! Sorry my 3rd comment here but I just got the genius gist of the quickee CARolina!!!!! Yeah !!!

[@BretReidFishing]

Great tip, Mikey!!!! Love the new camera look! That wouldn’t be the new DJI Action 2 camera, isn’t it??

[@LowBrowFishing]

I just like to slide my weight up about 10 inches and do the old toothpick trick to peg my weight in place. Doesn't budge at all, even with a 3/4 oz weight. But that toothpick tip comes out really easy when I wanna change out or adjust the length. I fish shallow lakes covered in thick salad on the bottom. Getting that bait up off the bottom is a must. Bass don't eat salad.

[@timmcmaster6435]

Cam looks killer 👍

[@gregstreettv]

Rob Crane showed me how to do this. I've been Carolina rigging since 95/96, but last year this trick made it so easy

[@rubenakacoolerlid2314]

Awesome video qaulity

[@caseynuchols3576]

Right on, I been doin this sense I discovered the bobber stops a few years back, first video or even hearing anyone mention it...

[@jholl7339]

Yep, been doing this from time to time, the last couple years. Being a kayak angler, I don't want to have to bring a rod for every rig type, so this is the compromise, and it's effective.

[@barrettbivens9081]

That lake i went have so much rocks underwater in deeper.Great tips and gonna use gary yamamoto stickbait with that.

[@joshmah]

i think we all got some kind of carolina/texas rig setup few bobber stoppers. i see where this video is going. 🤙

[@shawnwheeler4633]

I'm with you Mikey, hate the ball and chain. But I started throwing it to up my game. Guess what Bigs eat it! Now I don't hate it as much! Great tip kind of like the Petey Rig.

[@larryhansen5705]

Great camera

[@silvaart560]

Awesome tip

[@capitolbassfishing]

Dude fat money tip! Thanks!!

[@ericmorton9570]

Great tip Mikey! For those who don't know Caleb is in the hospital in pretty rough shape. He fell off of a roof last week breaking his arm and leg.

[@wendybrown2701]

Prayers for Caleb

[@dougp9975]

That bobber stopper under the weight will also be a help to protect your knot

[@justindolby8584]

I cut the nick from the bobber stopper after the palamore knot knowing your going to trim it off with the tag. This saves a bit of leader if your using a leader, when tying the palamore. (That wasn't the case with your setup)

[@ceaton80]

Hmmm, will try but feel like the bobber stop on the hook side will slip instantly with any type of rock/snag. Thanks for the tip

[@rizsauvage]

👌 thanks

[@Lengtube]

Legit bro!!

[@19empire85]

I agree 100% about that owner comment, everyone always talks about gamakatsu but ya rarely hear people mention owner... and dont get me wrong I love gamakatsu but I think owner's stuff is right up there with all the best brands and they don't get the recognition they deserve. Im also a big fan of decoy hooks too.

[@thebeardedangler8714]

I’m upset I never really thought of putting the second bobber stopper on! Great tip I’m going to try this tomorrow morning

[@Grizz_Zilla]

I subbed as soon as you said good price point. I dont think alot of guys talk enough about how its ok to save money plus it was a great vid

[@mikeybalzz]

Man I'm always trying to sneak my way around a dollar some things you just to deal with it and pay the premium but there's a lot of workarounds to save some loot when it comes to fishing

[@Grizz_Zilla]

@@mikeybalzz youre not alone😂

[@xyzman001]

Started doing something like this a few years ago. I only use a bobber stop behind the weight so once the bait hits the water the lure doesn't drop to the bottom but allows the bait to fall more nautral. The action is awesome with the bait about 1ft from the weight.

[@bfishin2183]

I've been doing the same thing

[@randallford8199]

I've fished a split shot for over 50 years. I use a #2 on a 10"worms with 14 -20 lb. Most of the time, it's a 6in straight tail cream worm or lizard.

[@randallford8199]

Learned to fish a Carolina rig in 1967 long before it was written about.

[@jason_ryan_fishing]

Yep, thought of this a few years ago. “Poor Man’s Carolina Rig”. Was so obvious and easy to do.

[@mikeybalzz]

Poor man’s Carolina rig I like that

[@rogerglasco5941]

Great video again Mickey. I have those bobber-stoppers and will start using that technique. Watching your videos really pays off for me. By the way, was you northbound on U.S. 27 in Sebring Wed. 7/13/22? I was southbound and told my wife I thought it was you. The truck and Z20Nitro looked like yours.

[@mikeybalzz]

nope i'm still in bama, headed that way in a bit though.

[@patrickgazzara3992]

Camera looks good but better to test with SS Gal for max clicks. Someone on here tied up that same rig I like it tried it on a day they liked the frog best. Going back to it though. Thanks for posting.

[@FiciousCritik]

Two bobber stops between weight and hook might stop a 1/2oz weight from sliding ... ya think? From Texas to splitshot to Carolina rig ... sweet! Btw, bobber stops are reusable; there's a handy trick.

[@JoseMartinez-dq4km]

New camera is nice

[@pennysgarage]

Bro I literally just came up with this exact rig like a week ago!!! I haven't tried it yet but it's tied up. Pitch/Texas/C rig hybrid!!
