The Best Free Rig Tips: How To | How To | Bass Fishing

[@ryanraddin9568]

So...isn't this the same as a normal texas rig with a sliding bullet weight?

[@bassresource]

No. One of the biggest differences between Texas Rig and the Free Rig is that a Texas Rig will tend to pendulum a bit on the fall, where the Free Rig will drop nearly straight vertical because the weight separates from the bait so quickly. That greater/faster separation of bait and weight means you get the same separation and vertical fall with every single lift-drop of the combo, too. When I first started using this rig, I noticed the separation difference is very pronounced, the free weight pulls ahead of the plastic very quickly.

[@stoneysdead689]

Close but no- the bullet weight, even when not pegged, just doesn't slide up and down the line freely enough. You need something that slides so freely that when you cast out, the weight slides back towards you and down to bottom- letting the bait fall completely unencumbered- like a drop shot. You don't have to use the weights made specifically for free rigging, they do work the best but- any weight with an open loop at the top that will slide super easy will work. The little bell shaped sinkers with the loop up top, we used to use them for making catfishing rigs up- they work- just not as well as the weights made specifically for it. That cylinder shape makes them fall super easy and fast, the open loop lets them slide back towards you so they don't drag the bait down- they're ideal .

[@ryanraddin9568]

@@stoneysdead689 cool...thanks...when you say you used those tear drop weights(which is what I have fir drop shotting), for catfish rigs, u mean in place of the egg sinker? Like on a carolina rig sort of, but for catfish?

[@stoneysdead689]

​When I was a kid we used them to weigh down trot lines- every third drop or so we would put a weight on instead of a hook. It just made sure the line swayed down into the water and the current didn't just push it back up to the surface. We also used them for a rig we used that utilized a three way swivel- the mainline ties to one, then to one you tie a line with the hook, and to the other a line with a sinker on it. It's used for live bait so it can swim around and have some room to move but still be weighted down to one area. Plus, if the weight gets snagged in the rocks and you break it off you don't lose your hook and bait- fresh bait isn't easy to come by.

[@Oldmangonefishing]

This method has become one of my favorites to fish. along with the dropshot and Ned rig. All on spinning gear and I use a leader but I put a bobber stop on before the leader not

[@bassresource]

Good stuff

[@TK-cl1jm]

Interesting! How long is your leader? Is the bobber stop to keep the weight only on the leader?

[@Oldmangonefishing]

​@@TK-cl1jm I usually make it the length of my rod. Which is 7ft med fast

[@TK-cl1jm]

@@Oldmangonefishing Hi again! Another question, if you don't mind... If you are using a 7 foot leader and a bobber stop, I assume you aren't really casting, just dropping straight down? You can't cast that bobber stop through the guides, can you?

[@Oldmangonefishing]

@@TK-cl1jm I am casting it out not to far. And slowly drag it back like a Texas rig I'll lift it up and let the weight fall back down. They usually will hit when the weight hits the bottom. Andi and fishing from a kayak.

[@stoneysdead689]

You can easily open the clip at the top of a drop shot weight up- stick a knife blade in and turn- now it's an open loop. I've used them this way- works fine.

[@karlr3875]

Years ago I fished a ProAM contest in South Korea on Lake Andong. It’s a massive man made lake with a lot of very vertical lakeshore. The pro on my boat was using this rig and just killed it all day. I finally went from drop shot which also works there, but he was catching 2 or 3 to 1 on me until I switched to this and it really did work! I’m going to go back to it now that you’ve shown me again how well it works

[@bassresource]

Yes, absolutely @karlr3875! Thanks for watching!

[@uncclifford1877]

I have another way of fishing the tie on Dropshot weight. After threading your lure on the hook, place the sinker on the hook then add a bait button or a pice of rubber band. This will keep the sinker from being thrown off. Then finish by putting the hook back through the bait. This works better than a weighted swim bait hook and is practically snag free. I don't have a name for it yet but I think of calling it the Maryland rig.

[@pacman_17]

I haven't had a chance to try the Jika Rig now you're hitting us with the Free Rig. But I think I can use the same cylinder weight with both rigs. Your videos are always complete and informative!

[@simplyscholar21]

You can use two bobber stops, one just before your hook to protect your knot, and one after the weight, to control the depth, then use a floating bait, so you can hover your bait off the bottom.

[@bassresource]

That’s a good tip as well, Twigg Sherman. Thanks for sharing.

[@gregred78]

You can add a split ring to a drop shot weight and that should make it the same as the other cylinder weight you were using. I'm going to try that and see how it works.

[@lukejohnston8770]

Good idea

[@chrisstephens9360]

That's what I was thinking too instead of buying more specialized weights

[@dreamfly555]

plus a swivel

[@ABC-jb2rg]

Too much hardware will tangle for sure! Open the eye of a drop shot weight will function similarly.

[@troutheadadventures6521]

The line can get caught in the split rings.

[@HieuNguyen-ef1ko]

This is very similar to a Fishfinder rig or a knocker rig used in salt water a lot. Thought about it using this but didn’t think it would work lol

[@maxcole3930]

Definitely a good set up I have used it before , but I like the weights with spinning eyelet

[@lynnskelton7971]

Great Teaching Video. Subscribing to your channel because I like the way you teach. Was just getting into free rigging when life took a detour and had to stop fishing for a bit. However, if you have cylinder drop shot weights you can still use them. Just take a small screw driver or Phillips head and push it through the eye of the weight spreading it out and rounding it. Make sure it gets rounded. But that works just as well and no need to buy a specific weight for free ringing until you run out of drop shot weights.

Given that the weight falls so fast an separates so easily... what size weights do you recommend? About the same as we'd use for a Texas rig? Or maybe lighter?

[@bassresource]

In my experience, lighter. Remember in the video where I had a bad hookset? That was in just 8' of water. I was using a 3/8th weight. Quite a bit of line out there for that shallow.

@@MrRourk Hi Fredrick.... do you use the open eye drop shot weights Glenn shows or something else? I just received a small quantity of those to use but curious on your take.

[@MrRourk]

@@MAGNUSDRONES the drop shot are the best. Old fashion Cat Fish Sinkers with the metal loop work. Just check for line abrasion.

[@MrRourk]

@@MAGNUSDRONES OK went to the tackle box to check the package. It says Bell Sinker with Swivel. I also have ones that just say Bell Sinker...they have a metal loop. Very deadly with a floating plastic. Crank it up and crank it backwards a few times. Let it move in that water. Main thing is this is a braid line technique. Best to use a coated braid with lubrication. I tried this with mono once. Once.

[@Danxiong]

@11:00 That’s the best tip. I’ve a lot of vids where people would pop/hop the bait then reel in there slack right away. It defeats the purpose of the free rig.

[@moohankim9370]

I could not believe my eyes to see free rig in US youtube channel. We all throw free rigs in Korea in many many different ways and there are lots of reasons for that. My favorite way to rig it is to rig a 3inch stick bait with 3/0 EWG hook and 1/4 oz stick tungsten weight with 12lb test fluoro. It is truly deadly in most of the occasions and it's called unbalanced free rig as the hook is unbalancedly too big for the bait. I hope you try and enjoy different versions. Thanks!!

[@stoneysdead689]

"...and using a leader definitely not a good idea 👍" Really? Why not? I use one all the time for this technique- not a single problem so far. In fact- I've yet to find a technique for which I couldn't use a leader- I've even done it fishing a frog- worked without any problems. I've fished frogs on mono to- no problem at all- in fact Bama Bass uses nothing but mono and he's one of the most successful frog fishermen I've ever known of. Ppl get these ideas in their head about what's "right' and what's "wrong" - there's no such thing in fishing- there's only what's right for you. Ppl say "well as long as you're catching bass.."" no- not even that is necessary- imo as long as you're enjoying yourself then, you're doing it right. That's the real objective of fishing- to enjoy yourself and have a good time.

Wonderful video Glenn ! Got a question regarding the slack in line, and how would you know if the fish is biting? Once the sinker hit bottom, do you start reeling in the slack? But there is always slack in the line as we wait for the bait to drop, so how do you know if the fish is biting ? Thanks

[@bassresource]

I wouldn't characterize it as "slack line". You're still connected to the bait and can feel bites because the line is still tight. The bites feel similar to a jig or worm bite. I think it sounds like "slack" line because of the hookset required - there is "extra" line that you'll need to compensate for in your hookset, but it's not "slack".

[@SeanTong0]

@@bassresource Thanks. I thought the line would be tight between your hand and the sinker, but would be loose between the sinker and the bait as it falls freely. Appreciate your insights. So I wonder how would you feel the bite when the bait is falling freely.

[@bassresource]

Ah, ok, got it. What interesting with this rig is that once a bass sucks in the bait, they hold on. So you feel the bite through the typical "tug, tug" as they swim off with the bait, or the "heavy" feeling you get when you start to reel up the slack.

“When you set the hook, you pulled line.” Smart co-angler!

[@Tasteslikethecolor9]

Idk why I am sharing this but oh well. You can put a swivel about 4-6” above the bait and have your sinker above that swivel. It still fishes about the same except for the last bit of the fall. The weight hits and that extra slack let’s the bait kinda level out in a natural way. I get bit a ton in that moment from sinker hitting bottom and the bait. It’s basically a Carolina rig but you can fish it vertically or horizontally

[@bassresource]

That’s a good tip as well, @user-es5wi9fg5i. Thanks for sharing.

Don't you find that the weight ends up on the hook when you cast?Here in the Uk we use a stop on the line just above the hook (length from the hook your choice on the day.

[@rencalamba3344]

Quick question on the free rig. After the weight hits the bottom, and then the lure falls slowly and eventually hits the bottom, do I just pop the rod tip up a few times and reel up the slack a bit to work the rig back to the boat? Seems to be a slack line presentation. I've been using the free rig for the last few times I've gone out. Love this rig (have it on a BFS setup and on a conventional baitcast setup), but working it on the retrieve is where I'm struggling.

[@bassresource]

Reel up the slack, pop the rod up and drop it so the weight falls again, then wait for the bait to sink to the bottom before repeating.

[@rencalamba3344]

@@bassresource Thanks! Going to work on that this weekend

[@RickBReviews]

Thise cylinder weights get hung up all the time for me and I lose them constantly in rocks. Unless Im fishing in grass, Im switching to the much cheaper and more widely available casting weights.

[@bassresource]

That's akin to using a bullet weight for dropshotting. It'll do the job, but it's not as effective. That said, both dropshot and freerigs do get snagged in rocks to the point I just avoid using them in rocks. It doesn't seem to matter what type of weight you use, they still get hung up in rocks.
