This is the most useful Michigan jig and waxie setup I’ve seen, AWESOME BOBBER DOWNS😎I’m bettin fish! I feel like usually your float “falls” slowly downstream when your on bottom👍🏼👍🏼best jigs around!

@Dragscreamer1 3 года назад

Thanks man I appreciate it! Bobber dowwwwwnnnnnn!

@mick8018 2 года назад

100% FISH the float disappeared straight down in an instant... big fail on hook-set.

@Keegan_0727 3 года назад

Definitely bite no way that is bottom. Bottom can’t pull that fast😂 nice video!

@mihookset3596 3 года назад

Jig + Waxies baby! I thought that bite looked a little fishy to me!

@Dragscreamer1 3 года назад

Me too obviously!

@spencerbehler 3 года назад

bite for sure.

@Dragscreamer1 3 года назад

I'm just gonna put a thumbs up on your comment right here 😆 🤣

@timrowlett5451 3 года назад

Looked like a hit to me. Like Orlando Wilson says, don't cost nothing to set that hook.

@Dragscreamer1 3 года назад

Agreed and Boom 💥 great point! One wax worm is the cost! Not a big price to pay for the chance of a fish!

@fishbirdy8547 3 года назад

Fish all day thats why i use centerpin reel no slag on line quick hook set! Good vid👍🏻

@Doc74 3 года назад

Facts !! Center pin covers way more water with a much better drift !! Nice and even

@themichiganangler4746 3 года назад

Its been so long for me I don’t even remember what it feels like to catch a steelhead . Sure looks like fun!

@fishbuscharters 2 года назад

Well done! A clear explanation of what the rig is. Thanks! When do you fish wax worms vs. beads?

@Dragscreamer1 2 года назад

Usually when it's really cold water temperatures. Not until December usually

@bdb9182 2 года назад

Definitely a bite

@williamdougie6213 2 года назад

Guessing a bite

@thesteelheadmaniac2045 Год назад

I enjoy putting my waxes on my jig through the mouth. I pinch the head and that opens up the mouth of the wax worm. works great!

@kevinjohnston8269 3 года назад

Great plug for fishing guides! Thanks! And nice bonus walleye!

@Dragscreamer1 3 года назад

Absolutely, you're welcome. It's the truth. Even just one or two trips with a guide you can gain a ton of confidence to go back to do it on your own.

@joshuavanderschaaf5145 3 года назад

I've caught a few fish on jigs and wax worms, not a bunch but usually they work for me when it gets really cold out. If I use wax worms during warm weather I use just wax worms on a hook. Especially for skams on late summer. When the bobber goes down assume it's a fish. I've had them just grab it as it goes by and I think it's a snag, ends up being a fish. Great video and nice fish.

@Dragscreamer1 3 года назад

Yes for sure totally agree man thanks for commenting

@geraldbostock9858 3 года назад

Does that technique work in Michigan rivers through March?

@Dragscreamer1 3 года назад

Yea wax worms will work on a jig through March in my opinion but I usually switch to beads by then just easier to fish beads in my opinion

@scottjones2717 3 года назад

You guys get to fish a beautiful river. Have you tried Mad River worms or the Addicted Fishing worms? They're pretty fishy.

@Dragscreamer1 3 года назад

Not yet! I've considered the pink worm sometimes but never actually have done it. You like em then?

@scottjones2717 3 года назад

@@Dragscreamer1 Yeah pink and some red ones with white tails. I cut them down to about 5in. I don't usually use full length.

@Dragscreamer1 3 года назад

Not actually sure of the brand sorry. Very light wire hooks though and bend easily

@tommcclellan1133 2 года назад

Was a bite for sure.

@italiansalmonhead 3 года назад

U fish like me . But why u dont use trolling weight instead use all those beads around your sinker?

@Dragscreamer1 3 года назад

There's 2 beads. Doesn't seem like a lot to me. But what do you mean by trolling weight? One that clamps on the line ?

@Dragscreamer1 3 года назад

Sorry I meant 2 beads around the weight. I know there's other beads by the float. I think I've seen the weight you're referring to. Just personal preference I guess. Bought a big pack of egg sliding sinkers years ago and never have seemed to go through them so I keep using em

@italiansalmonhead 3 года назад

@@Dragscreamer1 trolling weight are faster and u dont have to use the beads they have an eye on top and bottom so u hook your leader and main lain

@bluelineoutdoors2726 3 года назад

Nicely done! Do you guys ever use wigglers on youre jigs? I kind of got away from that because they are pretty fragile compared to the waxies.

@Dragscreamer1 3 года назад

Never have tried a wiggler for chrome. Only tried them for perch and bluegil.

Absolutely man ! Just study steelhead and the variety of things they'll eat! Addicted does tutorials a lot on bobber and jigs for steelhead.

@tony1519 3 года назад

@@Dragscreamer1 I do follow addicted already. They do more of the main river stuff nothing like Far East in Washington. On the slow moving snake river or even the touchet. I must try this next time I go out. Do they usually hit the wax when it’s colder or at all temperatures?

@Dragscreamer1 3 года назад

@@tony1519 for some reason here in Michigan most people only use them in the cold probably because its a smaller bait when the metabolism is low. BUT they DEFINITELY will eat wax worms at ANY time of year if there's one in their feeding range. Hope that helps! Tight lines!

Don't use colored beads with your lead fish will bite them instead of the hook

@Dragscreamer1 3 года назад

Agreed man but I don't take it that seriously with the beads being pressed up against the lead the whole drift I'm not too worried about it. The rig shown was my buddies rig so I'll tell him to get his stuff together and not do that ;-) I wouldn't ever put color next to my lead hahaha 😉
