MOJO RIG VS SPLIT SHOT for bass

Bass fishing is complicated and there are a ton of ways to rig lures. The Mojo Rig has been around a while and has its place, just like a split shot. Check out John Crews' explanation on these 2 rigs and what he throws.

Lol being born in San Antonio I feel sometimes like I “have to” throw a Texas rig. Thank you for all this info it’s very helpful and easy to understand

[@leomortimer2565]

good explanation. thank you for sharing!

another great video John.Mojo rig for me.Easy to adjust length of leader you want to use.

[@buzzworth2396]

Good video!!! Definitely explains the difference & how to rig & apply the technique. I recently got acquainted with the jika rig, Gika rig by Gamakatsu. The 2/0 EWG hook with the 1/8oz weight is deadly around my neck of the woods. Last weekend I threw a Baby D Bomb on it. Not much luck but they wanted a Grande Fishing 5"Airtail Rattler instead. That worm stands straight up and down. I didn't have any Quivers then. But I got some today and plan to use them in 12 hrs from now. I prefer to go to a Ned Bomb too when I need a backup. Bluetonium is my color of choice but I like fishalicious when it's the right condition.

Thanks had heard of mojo now I know what it is. Think I totally agree with your conclusion I’ll go ness or downscale Carolina rigs. But good video as I at least know of other options

Baby D-Stroyer on either C-Rig or Mojo is a bass catching machine!!! It catches size and numbers. Can’t wait for more colors. Need some in plum apple and mean green pumpkin or goby please

The mojo rig is so good. It’s very versatile and makes for a great rig in grass or on rocky bottoms. You can fish so many baits on it as well. You can even just cast and retrieve it like a spinnerbait.

#3 split shot is the most commonly used size.

[@joestrummer9507]

I've tried the mojo and caught fish with it, however, the challenge is you can't cast it nearly as far as you can a t-rig or jig, including shaky heads. Also, with the rubber in the weight, it seems to pick up the mucky weeds more and you can't tell if the weight or the bait is fouled as easily as you can with a t-rig or jig. I guess the mojo is best on a hard, non-rocky bottom which is rare so ????

Mojo works great for me.....I thought the world had forgot about it....

How about using a twist weight?

[@john6649]

Just saw your boat walk through on bassmaster and when your sitting at the console how are you setting up your hummingbird and lowrance when scanning and using total scan and 2d sonar?

[@JohnCrews]

Side scan on both, maps on both, 2D on Lowrance, mega down on Humminbird

[@john6649]

@@JohnCrews you ever have any interference when running both on the same frequency on down scan ?

[@tonyrubaszewski6811]

I try to use the split shot alot but have problems with it sliding up the line... Does not matter line size.. And yes i make sure i close it at the right spot. Even in the middle of the weight. So i use a bobber stopper.. Is there anything that i can do differently... Seems i am the only one that has this issue

[@JohnCrews]

Maybe try different split shots. Some have better teeth to bite

[@tonyrubaszewski6811]

@@JohnCrews thanks.. Didn't know that

[@timg185]

@@tonyrubaszewski6811 use a small bullet weight or mojo weight and bobber stops to peg it in place .

[@Fisherman_83]

Do you use weedless Ned heads around grass.

[@JohnCrews]

No. When they get snagged a little, it triggers bites

[@Fisherman_83]

Ok thank you

[@fishncoach8699]

Toothpick and peg it

[@JohnCrews]

Straight old school!
