Have you tried the "Free Rig" yet? If you haven't tried the Free Rig, this is the right time of year to experiment with it. Think of it as a finesse version of a Texas Rig or Carolina Rig. Its a fish catcher and it's here to stay!
The Free Rig isn't new, but is continuing to gain popularity, especially as grass begins dying back in the Fall. This rig shines around hard cover and will produce long after bass have become leery of traditional presentations. The benefit of this rig is it allows your bait to fall very slowly, while still keeping great contact with the bottom.
Below you'll find links to Tim's favorite baits for free rigging, along with the gear he uses to fish them effectively. We've also included our favorite colors for each bait to help you get started. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

It works really well in shallow rivers too. I’ve been using it for four years and it’s my 100% confidence bait. No matter what time of year if I drop a craw in front of them they’ll eat it. I always place a bobber stop between the hook and a 1/16 ounce tungsten weight. That’s the key for shallow water. You need more separation.

@christopherbeckerdite4273 8 месяцев назад

I grew up doing that using lizards on mono. Mono line works well with that because it tends to float and let's the bait have a bit slower fall rate. Which keeps the bait in the strike zone longer.

@matthewotis3594 8 месяцев назад

I did as well. Didnt have bullet weights. Had my dads smaller surf fishing weights. Either a ribbon tail purple and pink tailed PowerBait worms or plastic lizards. Never really thought about it. Using tear shaped weights with the loop tie on top. They crushed them.

Try it with a z man floating worm and fish it like a Texas rig. Every few pops give it a little slack to float up off the bottom and just dance it in place for a few seconds. It presents somewhere between a Texas rigged worm and a whacky worm and if is a killer setup.

This was the best description/explanation of a free rig I heard so far. The comparison with a Carolina rig makes absolutely sense! Well done. What do you think about using tubes with a free rig?

@joestrummer9507 8 месяцев назад

Actually fan boy, it makes no sense at all. A carolina rig is for getting the bait down quickly and dragging or hopping it on the bottom horizontally with the bait just above bottom. A finesse carolina rig is a split shot rig or mojo rig which uses a cylindrical weight. The free rig is all about a slow vertical fall and thus nothing like a carolina. This guy made all this up, just hit record and made a bunch of assumptions and comparisons which are all wrong. All you have to do is Google or search YT for 10 seconds to find out what the free rig actually is.

Hey Tim and Matt. What's the difference between the "Free Rig" and an Unpegged Texas Rig? (Other than the weight)

@upstateangler9575 8 месяцев назад

I was thinking the same . It must have to do with the shape of the weight . Mass is below the line making it easier to go towards the real then want to fall straight down and not back towards the hook.

@borreholic7238 8 месяцев назад

I mean it is the weight that is the difference. With the same plastic, the free rig weight will drop more straight down and faster compared to a bullet weight with a more "glidey" sinking motion, resulting in more separation between weight and bait (with enough water depth). I also like how the free rig casts better with the pointy weight leading the way like a rocket.

@ 11:27 It's a "keeper" for his bait, it grabs the line instead of the hook, since he is using a texas rig on the bait and its so deep into it there's barely any hook to even grab with a open keeper like some rods have, that one grabs the line before the nose of the bait / eye of the hook.

This isnt a finesse carolina rig, a mojo or splitshot rig is. This rig is intended to give the bait a slow vertical fall, that's it. Thing is, when the weight hits bottom and the bait falls, it creates more slack line as it falls and thus makes bite detection very difficult. No thanks.
