[@jamesadams1357]

Well done brother. I've been doing this for decades but still haven't taken the forward facing sonar plunge. So nice to finally see someone not being all about that and trying to help the guys who fish from the bank. And even though I've not done it the past few years, I was not the only one doing it at least 20 years ago. Anyway Well done sir and be blessed

[@BassGeek]

Thank you very much. Look I love and hate the thing Honestly. I've caught some great fish with it and I've used it when I should have just put my head down and fished. It's all about learning when and where in fishing.

I've gotten into fishing this summer, and now am a proud owner of a feelfree lure 11.5 v1 kayak to get out where the bank fishermen can't. Been watching your channel for a few months since I was recommended it, looking forward to applying your teachings in person!

[@BassGeek]

Hey thanks for joining the team

[@mikebainter8917]

I have been crushing the Spot Bass and Crappie on Lake Martin in Alabama on this very technique, thanks for the additional tips on fishing the deeper water I generally use anything from 1/10 to 1/8 using the loop knot with 5/1 lb or 10/2 Power Pro Max with a Ande Mono leader from 8-12lb. for the slower sink rate. Can't wait to catch your next video. As I like to sign off with : Tight Lines and Screaming Drags. Have a great week everyone!

Man you have had a rough year phone, vehicle running into your house and wife's car pretty sure more we don't even know but you truly have became my main go to channel for help or advice if you ever offer ways to fish with you the knowledge I could get from the hands on experience different watching to in person and doing it on the boat... Great upload👍

[@BassGeek]

I hope it happens. If you haven't seen the new video be sure I talk about something that might just allow me to do it.

[@clydesharman2053]

Bass Geek what is your favorite stand alone hooks for plastic worms and for treble hook upgrades? and why do you like them? when upgrading treble hooks on top water lures do you add split rings to help lower the hook away from the bait? if so what size? Ive had my eye on Trokar hooks but im curious your favorites

[@johnwhite993]

Man I’m so homesick for south holston and the area. Grew up fishing on the dam and in the river. Moved from Bristol and kick myself everyday for leaving

You can always come fish with me.

These things are getting used in the fall and spring now

[@rvfishingyet]

Thanks for the video Hank. Curious on your thoughts on the differences of this one compared to the ned rig with same weights from the bank.

[@BassGeek]

Thank you very much. No the difference is this stay's up off the bottom 100% of the time.

[@jermaineflorence9278]

I was just thinking about going with this rig, but going with a foot trailer with a fluke to give a presentation like a baby bass chasing small bait fish to trigger a reaction of ambushing largemouth in a sweet spot...we'll see if it produces results this weekend in Georgia. Thanks!!

[@BassGeek]

It works

[@davewashburn8930]

Hey Hank, I use this technique with 4” keitech shad impact. In sexy shad. They really work great & they got a stink too them! Appreciate you 👊

[@BassGeek]

Yup another good bait

[@russb296]

Back in the late 80's and early 90's there was a select group of bass anglers in the Northeast that would use this technique on highly pressured waters in the early spring and fall ...back then it was done with 4 and 6 lb monofilament and 1/16 -1/4 oz ball heads and the preferred bait was a 3 and 4 inch Bass Pro Shops Triple Tail grub(no need to shake the rod with this)...other times it was a Lunker City 3 and 4 inch Fin S Fish....With the grub it was straight smoke color or in really tanic colored water a black/chartreuse tail....the Fin S Fish was Smokey Shad or Arkansas Shiner or straight Black....45° banks or parallel to rocky humps on the steeper sides.... It shows one thing....very few of today's techniques are new....It's the fact that guys were more tight lipped back in those days....lol Same goes with the ned rig....ball or mushroom heads and half of a 4" senko was used years ago....🙃

[@BassGeek]

That’s very true. There has been some version of this going on for years

[@bennyventures8204]

It’s a great technique but man my adhd self just struggles to fish it properly…I’d rather sacrifice bites by fishing a jerkbait, Dt6, or blade bait all in the winter those three techniques are what I throw 95% of the time in the winter here in TN

[@BassGeek]

Trust me with the sonar now you don't have to wonder. You just hit them and they eat it. It's not a slow deal anymore.

[@bennyventures8204]

@@BassGeek I’m all about that year around shallow bite tho! You almost will never see my little helix 7 turned on…I don’t even remember the last time I even had it hooked up to a battery lol I like the old school ways just pure knowledge and moving water! I’m not into tournament angling so I get the beauty of fishing how I want to fish even if I’m not bagging 20lbs everyday! Keep up the great videos tho boss!

Dude me and my fishing partner had one of the best if not the best winter fishing trip tightlineing that was before forward facing sonar imagine that. I have the 126sv and it gets so frustrating when you can see the fish but can’t make ‘em bite 😢

[@tennesseekayakfishing5691]

Your tight line technique sounds a lot like the Charlie Brewer do-nothing technique. Only exception is the shaking. He said that just holding the rod puts enough vibration on the lure.

[@BassGeek]

Sometimes it can and they want it subtle others they want it just twitching like crazy

[@tripd4949]

Yes but did they put weights in the fish?

Just 3 or 4

[@mmatalk3817]

Bassgeek! It all started in the 70's 80's & 90's with our Grandpa's, Uncles and friend's dads! How about older styles(creme minnow, Manns minnows Knight minnows, Fliptail, original Yum company, etc)Superfloater, Fliptail Creme minnows Manns minnows. I find they still catch fish! Culprit minnows, Gillraker minnows Mr.Twister minnows, Fin-S are " All dangerous lures!" lures. I still use them and they work fine. I'm really not too picky. -so many are interchangeable in function and effectiveness. I BUY TONS OF "OLD SCHOOL LURES ON EBAY, EVERY WEEK LOL! I'M A "TACKLE JUNKY!". IF IT AINT BROKE DON'T FIX IT! I think the one great change that occurred that offered something really different was adding lots of salt to the plastic -not for the flavor so much, but for the density. Density differences in plastics make a difference in action and fall-rate -from really buoyant to really dense. So I do dip my lures in Spike -It Garlic which is the Uncle Josh replacement. So in closing I'm okay with "OLD SCHOOL" so also " I'm okay with New Schoo!".

[@BassGeek]

hahahaha I'll second that!
