Hey Mark, best nugget you have ever dropped is that Miller Knot. Best knot ever, have only had one error and that was the line not the knot once changing over to it two years ago.

I love this bait , it's became my fav. I'm stuck on the bank fishing an fish it kind of like a worm with more success . I've tried the other technique not much success but I keep trying !

[@DanielBoone337]

I've been playing around with this on my homes lakes Toledo and Rayburn... It's slowly but surely turning into something I've got a ton of confidence in. Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!

[@brent3323]

That is the biggest advantage to FF Sonar. Being able to see how the fush react to your lure and presentation. Something we never had, unless you were jigging, or working your lure directly in the cone of your 2D or Di sonar

[@BillSkidmoreoutside]

I have a depth finder on my kayak, I wish I could get sonar lol, I was surprised to see DC change major sponsors, thanks for the tips, from Vermont

[@GTX10]

Great video, thanks! Are you able to make a video or series on map study for the time of season? Why would you pull your boat up to said spot vs something that looks similar on the opposite bank? Eliminating water fast!!

[@WilliamRockseo]

Great Tutorial, Thank You. I have been using this technique for many years and have won many tournaments with it in the past. ROCKSTAR Information

[@prestonmire5509]

Thank you sir I will do this awesome

[@lancebenoit736]

Good stuff! What jig head are you using in the video?

[@larrytidwell4866]

GOOD LUCK THIS YEAR.....I'm going to try this from the back of the boat this year, I've been seeing it alot more and now the chore for me is find out what works for me

[@robertwilliamson6958]

I started doing this using a Berkley Flatnose minnow, after watching an ott Defoe video from 2 years ago on what he called ‘tightlining’ his description of tightlining was not what everyone else’s was, it was exactly this. Skate the rocks or the bottom, slow steady wind and shimmy the rod tip. It doesn’t get much better than that. I’ve been hammering fish in water down to 32.5 degrees without any sonar with that freeloader and it crushes them on super light jigheads. I’ve learned you can slow down the entire presentation with that freeloader specifically due to its design, by going to a superlight Jighead and man that thing just gets em. I fish it on straight mono too. And I’m more of a big river guy. I find the mono slows the baits action down and makes it less erratic and more subtle and that seems to get more bites so far especially in frigid water. I find I still get the same actions out of the bait, but it’s just subdued by the mono and that’s what they want most times in the cold. Just a thought if you read this.

great video , I request you do a finesss Jig set up!

[@ciscoamaro2772]

😂 saw it lol 😂 I was using this technique this morning with the Crush City Mayor fishing from the bank, landed 4, not the size I was looking for but I’ll take it, especially with the temps here in Texas

[@teamspotsnatchers4656]

You are so informative. I used it with an under spin and smashed em.

That line looks like Spiderwire Stealth-Braid. I been for the past 4 year. Good stuff

[@tomweimer5358]

I seem to have missed the unintended pun regarding his favorite spinning rod and reel combo

[@Ronnie-NE-Fishin]

Got one my top largemouth on a similar rig over the summer little crappie rig fishing for yellow perch ended up being an almost 4lb bass 😂 also it was the most quiet subtle entry right off the bank from the kayak, I can almost hear it now lol

Is there a weedless version to fish deep ledges or brushpiles?

[@Roundjammer]

Back in the day it was grubbin'.

[@KyleStjohn-lu6ew]

It's crazy I was just using fluke with a nlbn jig head and it looks almost the same and I was catching bass on it

[@raymaylone8563]

You rocked it Mark !!!!!!! Just be careful Randy B may start stabbing ya in the back because you referred to FFS !!!!!

[@davenishimoto9154]

Hey Mark, your from California, remember back in the late 80’s , Don Iovino had a technique called doodle sliding, it was basically the same only with brass and glass and a four inch worm !!! 😎

[@MarkDanielsJr]

Yessir loved that technique. Killed em for years doing that

[@CAlmassey]

That and a Slider worm were lights out for me on Camanche back in the day

[@XxNiteStockerxX]

Here after your boy DC winning

[@gamingdreams2142]

So it’s just like vertical jig fishing for crappie?

[@shadygraves]

It's called "Minnow Doodling" or, as DC would say, MINNER DOODLIN'

[@krisramos7453]

I was very confused with all the talk and names for this technique. I simplified it to and straight tail minnow style bait on a 90 degree jig head. Bottom strolling is heavier weight jigs maintaining bottom contact, mid strolling is middle weighted jig heads focusing on the middle of the water column, and hover strolling is super light weight jig heads or weightless. I don't have FFS but I plan on throwing this in all my spots and still catching them.

[@brianpostma5413]

why the spinning rod and not a BFS style baitcaster ?

[@barefoot.bandit]

👍

[@chasesimmons6451]

I’m pretty dialed in this technique for crappie on my lake. Never heard of anyone doing it for bass…then again I’ve never asked. Also I rarely see anything that I’d say is a bass on the screen when I’m fishing this way for crappie.

Use a demilitarized rig as the weight for a drop shot. You have twice the chance to catch a fish. Or a Ned rig.

[@mikelambert6747]

Nice rig shame professionals need more sonar to pretty much bed fish! Aggravate Catchers is what they have turned it into.

[@jaysfishandwhips1328]

Nd I can't wait for them to restrict the amount of touneys FFS is allowed in. And only allow 3 or so events out the year where theyre allowwd to use it. Like how they were allowed to flogg for brownies.

Not sure why this technique so special? people doing this for crappies for decades, all you do is just up the size of the bait for bass fishing that's all to it, why do people act like they just have a "Ureka", i just laugh people calling the hottest newest technique 🤣

It's not new, nor did he claim it was new. He said it's taking the fishing world by storm, as in more people are using it now. The video is meant to teach people getting into fishing, who this technique would infact be new to. Erase this comment and go to bed boomer.
