That ticking/clicking noise works so well because an actual crawfish makes a very similar ticking/clicking sound when it is backing away from danger. The tail strikes the underside of the abdomen or thorax and makes a slapping/ticking/clicking sound with each tail strike. I have observed this during research dives when I reached out to collect crawfish. The sound is surprisingly loud underwater. (retired fishery biologist)

[@joehadaway5018]

I could listen to you talk about fishing for hours. Your passion for the sport is next to none. Can't wait to try this rig

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

Thank you!!! I appreciate it!!!

[@Shawn_Lai]

Ikes sound effects are priceless. It's like when we were too broke to have a working TV, we made our own sound effects and statements via closed captioning haha.

[@rlsoutdoors997]

Love this guys energy !!!! Been crushing them with crawdad baits lately!!!

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

Thank you!! Appreciate that! Heck yea Catch em up!

[@basswhisperer4803]

Definitely going to try the chicken craw tomorrow! Thanks Ike!!!

[@mikesturgill4846]

Thanks Mike. You're awesome bro. Been watching you since the 90s. Just watched your classic win also. Love your passion bro and thanks for sharing all your knowledge. We appreciate you!!!

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

And I appreciate you!!! Thanks for watching!!

[@seizedcarcass8440]

I can see this working really well in deeper water. Hop it up off the bottom and let it fall. Chigger craw has such a great action.

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

Deep water bass candy!

[@TexasDigitalOutdoors]

dude this is awesome. We been fishing this rig in Cali since the 90s. I need to do some vids on this rig to. Love it.

[@pondparadisedesignsinc.rob5313]

This is awesome I really like the flute worm. Can’t wait to try this method. Thank you, Ikemaster 👏

[@tiaginhm]

Very nice video... thanks.. from Spain🤙🏻🤙🏻🙌

[@attieheystek6357]

🤯🤯🤯Definitely going to give it a shot!Awesome video Ike!

[@stephenzeppenfeldt221]

All ways great stuff. Thanks mike.

[@richardbee2034]

One of the most informational fishing video I’ve ever watched, thanks.

[@andrewphoa8790]

That was awesome! Thanks Mike!

[@stankaminski]

Another great lesson. Thanks

[@ryanlinder1973]

I love this rig!! Works very well!! 🐔🦞

[@erichoffman2014]

you kill me! Thanks Ike, long time old fan from City Limits days...you rock!

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

You rock!!! Thanks for being awesome!!

[@proteusxavier9477]

The flying lure rig 😄 Still have a couple of them from the good 'ol days.

[@kylevodden19]

Can’t wait Mikey I use the cr all the time on a thin Berkely bait and works awesome.

[@slemon1972]

Hey brother.. Seriously I've learned SO much from watching your (in the shop) educational videos.. Thanks Ike!! LEMS.... 🍋

[@TexasDigitalOutdoors]

Agreed. I need to include stuff like that in my content. I just love how he included this.

[@travisbruno5964]

I just caught a couple on the lugworm today with the nail weight and neko hook .. I also rigged a general like that and they loved it..thanks for the tips mike we appreciate you brother

[@masfishing1]

Mike, I absolutely love the chicken rig! Now I cant wait to try the chicken chigger craw out!!! Ill have to buy the grunge color out plus a few others. Thank you for another great video buddy.

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

Thank you!! I appreciate that!! Grunge is such a good color!! Catch them up!!

[@papaduck2443]

I just subscribed to ya brother! That was a great tip and I will be trying it. Looking forward to more tips like that!

[@sonofafisherman743]

Sweet thanks Ike 🔥🎣👍

[@TheGoebel95]

Definitely going to try this chicken rig!

[@sfunk6294]

I haven’t tried this rig, but from my experience, I‘ve not known a Bass to pass up a Craw, especially Smallies 😊 If they happen to be reluctant, which I don’t think so, but if they were, that pecking sound would seal the deal. They wouldn’t be able to resist! Thanks again for another great video.

[@robertcasey2501]

Main man ike gives the knowledge and super humble even breaks it down for a novice like me!!

[@thesonorandesertangler]

I'm definitely going to try this. I've been using 1/4oz jig heads for craw baits, but this seems way more finesse style.

[@familymatters2]

Mad scientist... Love it Ike! Hello from bama! Roll Tide! 🙋

[@greenpighunter6930]

Nice. Thanks

[@gfour20]

Great idea!

[@nathanieleasonbign81970]

Best damn rig video ever! I just subscribed and liked!

[@topraider5284]

Smart rig👍👍

[@adamestepp6527]

Mike just wanted to drop you a MSG ... Fished a Marshall university bass team tournament this weekend here in west Virginia on Sutton lake . record number of boats in this tournament so it was crowded . But turned out bass were on beds very skittish took 45 mins to a hour to catch one ... I switched to this rig after watching your video last week about 2 hours into the day and could come behind a boat that had worked the fish forever and end up catching the fish with this rig 10 mins into it.. Thanks so much for you info it truly helps .. P.s lost one 4lber and one almost 6lbs by not listening to u and using to small a hook and straighted my hooks at the boat during the fight .. Thanks pal keep them coming .. Adam Estepp

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

Heck yea!!! It’s a sleeper!!! Way to go!!

[@tomselick6983]

Thanx for sharing 👍👍

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

Thanks for watching!! Catch them up!!

[@fredflinstime6676]

Thank you sir!

[@lowspeedhighdrag566]

That VMC finesse neko… that’s been a game changer for me. I can’t find anymore in town, but I’m going to order a bunch. I use it for a lot of things.

[@johnludovich4336]

Well another great video I tried it with a firecraw colored crawfish and caught one on the first cast and couple after that

[@ziggyblue782]

Mike could read the directions for a blender and make it sound interesting. Thanks for the tip. I will give it a try this Sunday.

[@ben1449]

When I can’t get the blender to work I never give up

[@CommodeToad]

I get a totally different vibe.

[@juliecerta4529]

I’m going to try this in the UP Michigan...On a mojo bass rod MHEXF and Revo SX 40 for those brown back giants!!!!💪

[@shawneldridge4465]

🙋 I do have the vmc pro series crayfish jig in a 1/32 oz. This vmc crayfish jig is very good for trout, crappies and panfish. I guarantee you use this for brown trout and tiger trout, most definitely they well tear it up. Just throwing it out there. This is all I fish for is trout. The only thing we have to fish for in a nice little stream in our area. Just a stream with rainbow, brookies, browns and tiger trout.

[@ryanmerritt2684]

Dang the beard on Ike really put ten years on him 😂, keep up the good content like always

[@sadhvacman7238]

I love the crinkle sound of a soft plastics pack.

[@BrainClaud]

Damn it Ike, I love you more than my girlfriend, thanks for these techniques.

[@pamelaklemp5615]

😂 Girlfriends can always compete against another girl, but competing against a great Angler‼️💞❓. HANDS DOWN , SHE'S TOAST 😂. 🎣💯🔥.

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

This a great!!! Hahahaha

[@joelbrown9680]

Pretty cool. I would like to see a tank test of this

[@ltbo6781]

I love this stuff.

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

Thank you!! I do too!! Lol

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

I love it too!! Haha!! Thanks for watching!!

[@chrisrittenburg1719]

I have a whole section of my finesse box full of VMC Neko hooks. Best hooks for almost all finesse presentations.

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

Excellent finesse presentations!!!!

[@jcal717]

Mike!!! I’ve been arguing this strategy and experimenting with how to make the claws appear less threatening. After seeing how many bass back off once the claws come out… I’ve been asking myself WHY are all the craws meant to look like they’re in a aggressive position, only to see bass back off.

[@russellpeterson3166]

I think you should come out with a monthly "Ike Box" with these lure set ups in them! I'm wearing Amazon and big box outlets out after watching your videos! LoL just spit balling here

[@Roboworm99]

Been doing this for awhile now. Using Yamamoto Flappin Hog and Psycho Dad I’ve since added a few other baits to the rigging

[@joel1964.]

Gonna try it out at lake Castaic in California

[@travisbruno5964]

What are those arms doing mike.... Blu lululululululu...

[@adamblomeke2609]

If I don’t have any of the finesse neko hooks, could I use a 1/0 or 2/0 EWG for this rig?

[@crisostomoquintana3233]

Lol 12 mins 52 sec on this video made my day lol

[@jakeblood4186]

Mike, I got some shop organization techniques for you... aka safer place to work. lol

[@vittoriotoselli2987]

i hope it works. I am trying your techniques, but, for me it is very difficult to capture a single bass

[@jamurf420]

Dude no shit. I went over to my local pond last night to try this rig. Caught one on the first cast. Lost another one on the second cast, and lost the craw and the weight

[@bitenbass]

Ike wssss up nj!

[@joel1964.]

Why does this guy remind me of Gilbert Godfrey ?..🤔..great job 👏👍. Will try this technique 👌

[@mojarritamartinez7798]

👍En espera

[@FlippinOkie]

The zman full size craws work awesome because they float so the claws float and move around like its alive when it's on bottom.

[@pamelaklemp5615]

I was going to try the chicken rig later today. I have the full size ZMAN Craws, so I'll try your tip too! 😊 THANKS!

[@FlippinOkie]

@@pamelaklemp5615 no problem and if you really wanna catch'em take one of those zman pro craws (the 3 1/2" ones) and then take a jackhammer chatterbait and take the skirt off and put that craw on there and let it sink to the bottom and slow reel it across the bottom and it looks exactly like a craw going across bottom with that Jackhammer thump and bass cant stand it!! Ive never told anyone this so dont be spreading the word if it works as good for you as it does me lol

[@pamelaklemp5615]

@@FlippinOkie My lips are "super glue" sealed 🤐! Thanks again 😊

[@bassingthrough]

@@FlippinOkie 👀👀

[@Dmitriyfisheater]

interesting

[@DavDaDdue]

I have fallen in love with the chicken rig. However I find the baits rip alot. Amy ideas what I can do to limit this?

[@XxNiteStockerxX]

Screw lock hook?

[@bitenbass]

What's Ike been doing is he fishing mlf...I been out of it...

[@adamcedarwall6049]

I can see this being deadly on monster river smallmouth

[@10boreroar]

Gary Yamamoto made this technique popular many many years ago. I was hoping Mike would pay homage to Gary, but, nope...

[@fishinfool247]

hard to beat a neko rigged 3.5 inch sweet juicy beaver up here on the Mississippi or st croix river nobody does it out fishes a stupid tube bait 99 percent of the time plus it like never snags

[@brianellzey9383]

Hey Mike you need better close ups of the rig. The explanation is great but as an amateur or someone that is new it can be confusing.

[@60secondfisherman]

Don't bass eat craws head first? What I've heard is that that bite of pinches and then swallow the craw.. I may be wrong but that is what I've always been told.. Is this correct or no?

[@Patriot-dt3wk]

Yes and no. I caught one last night that puked a whole 5” craw in my boat. Claws were still on and the claws were big.

[@snorlax7579]

I caught a bass and it had a craw sticking out its throat. Only the pinchers too.

IKE, love your videos and all the info do you share but get a new camera man that understands video and how to adjust the depth of field so that we can see what your trying to show us in your hand. Also it would help if you don't put your hand out from your body things would be more in focus. Tell your camera man when he's trying to get it to focus don't zoom out to (zoom in) on the item. Sorry can't help myself your favorite cameraman.

[@midwestfischerman]

OMG, the suspense is🥱.... zzzz... 😴😴😴😴😴😴

[@danmadgett1513]

Very poor Camera work, Only focused on your face, Didn’t Adjust Focus on your details Everything, I Mean Everything you attempted to show us was Out of Focus Got your Idea, Thank You for the Tips !
