The Peed Rig…The Most Deadly Spring Bass Technique Ever 

Wow Randy! I am 68 yrs. old this April and I have used and loved the watermelon seed centipede since my twenties. I have never heard of nor seen anyone else use or talk about it ever! I love that worm and it has never let me down and thanks to you, I have another way to fish it if I can find them.

I've been fishing Centipedes for 40 years. It catches all sizes of bass, largemouth and smallmouth. Not surprised it catches Spots too.

Excellent - thanks!

Great info and thanks for sharing.

Awesome video 😊

yessir...great rig. A 4" lizard works good too.

Thanks for the tips Randy!!!

That rig is a must for co-anglers

Randy you are a national treasure I’ve used that deadly combo for a couple years now use to always just use a 4 1/2 inch roboworm talk bout deadly they crush it 😎

Cool setup...

Thanks for sharing, Randy

Here in NC on the clearer lakes the Centipede watermelon cotton candy is a killer bait on spots. I use it on a scaled down Carolina rig similar to your rig. Thanks for the tip will try this config down on Norman when I go there next. Keep up the good content. Thanks,

Thanks for the good juice Randy!!!!

Thanks for the tip randy..if fished peeds for years with good success but have never tried painting the weight. I'm going Monday and I will be getting me some red fingernail polish. Thank you👍

Thank you Randy. I’m catching nice largemouth bass with this rig in AZ.

GOOD INFO..🎣

We caught a good number of spotted and smallmouth on this rig at Table Rock mid May. We used centipedes and finesse trick worms. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks Randy I love all the videos

Followed Randy’s instructions and this flat out works! Had to go with the Chompers version of the centipede but it still works awesome. Randy knows his sh**!

Thanks for showing this tip

This is awesome!!! Thanks!! I live on Hartwell so I will definitely try this!!!!!

Thank you. God bless.

Great finesse tactic, one that I use all year long.

thanks for sharing!

awesome spotted bass type for Lanier, Randy. I wanted to say shushhhh cause it’s killer in march/april !! And i’ve said it before, but that Gfinesse hook is the best!

Have you tried using a Z-man giant TRD? The buoyancy of the TRD will cause the bait to float right above the bed . I feel the smaller profile is also harder for the bass to just grab a small part of the bait and spit out away from the bed. I also try to use a hook with a bait keeper since the z-man baits slide easier and can bunch up.

Today and yesterday were some great tips. Been using the big spinner but kind of forgot about the the light c rig. Thanks for clearing out some of my cob webs.

Good info Randy.....one of my lakes I fish is a reservoir here in NC and on clear sunny days you can see 20ft. deep and it's really hard to catch fish because of the clarity, you have to make super long cast when beating the bank. You mention Norman and the spotted bass, yes...there is so many that the lake is over populated. I have heard of guys talking about when catching the smaller spots that people should chunk them up onto the bank to help thin them out. I would never do that, has anybody ever seen or know of an angler that does this? I'm sure it's illegal too.

I love that, like you said we’ve done that for years on center hill lake

Always did good with those manufacturer here in Florida

Thanks for the secret.. always done well in the area you mentioned. The mojo rig. Tx baby brush hog. CRig. Shaky rig. Just never thought they were spawners.. 🤔 it works for me..

Good stuff as always. Thanks, Randy. Lots of spots in my area.

I have a way of fishing plastics you may wan't to try. Pass the point of the hook through nose of your bait (Texas style) put a tie on style sinker on the hook before placing the hook back in the bait. A Bait Button or piece of rubber band can be used to keep the sinker from falling off when the bass jumps. This can be used as a finesse rig or a heavy rig with 10"or 12" worms. With the weight on the hook shaft rather the nose the rig is nearly snag free.

Randy that Hook and that weight is my favorite setup for the lugworm and the centipede. You nailed it, i used this yesterday and caught several and its not even prespawn yet..thanks God bless

Thanks for the tip!

Love your insights

Wish it was.raining here in California!!! But great tip Randy!

Split shot was THE technique in Southern California for decades back in the 80’s and 90’s. It’s still an often used technique but never talked about. Don’t be surprised if many of the “I caught em on drop shot” reports were actually split shot fish. Killer technique any time of year. Thanks for letting the “secret” out. However in SoCal we tend to use skinnier and hand-poured worms.

Went through 6 “ of ice like butter with this auger. Good buy.

Gourd green centipedes! That is a killer color!!! I use then ....

Hey Randy thanks for another secret tip Randy I like that set up strike king makes a French fry I know you like zoom better but I would like to have some scent in my bait but I promise you Randy I will try the zoom one too . Hey Randy when I started getting serious about bass fishing when I was younger I played with the zoom one and every time I tied one on no matter what I would always catch bass on it . Hey Randy that french fry bait is great for a Carolina rig to thanks for all you do for us your always giving us more and better options to catch the bass and you know what Randy when I'm able to get a boat I'm going to be fishing totally different and that's because of the NUMBER ONE U TUBE CHANNEL INTUITIVE ANGLING. Thanks alot for what your doing for us anglers great content always. GOD bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike.

So I wondered about setting the hook. This helped as I fish lighter line. Now I know why bass fisherman use 60lb line.

Mojo rig! It’s a killer on all species, I’ve tried a bunch of different baits on it, the peed works the best, the Ring fry works too but the peed gets more bites.

I agree. A killer rig. I once bought what I think was called a mojo sinker. It was cylindrical in shape and you would use a tool to pull a rubber band through it to hold it in place on your line. But I’ve lost track of them. Too much tackle to keep up with LOL! Usually I pinch a slit shot on the line. Don’t think I’ve ever used a slip sinker pegged as Randy shows here but I assume it would work well. Started out using French fries years ago and they still work, but I have used smaller straight tail worms with success as well as other finesse plastics. What is it about the shape of the Ned Rig type bait that works so well?

I live in northern California and we have a lake called Bullard's bar and I've observed spotted bass bedding well over 20 feet. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the largest females are even deeper. Spots are sure a hell of a lot of fun. Really been enjoying your channel.

Agree with the zoom centipede and the split shot or mojo setup. A fish catcher late prespawn to early fall.

Enjoyed the video, I also like to throw the 4" zoom lizard and the ringworm on that rig . It's definitely a fish catcher .

this is my go to bait when nothing is biting

Our water temps up here in Pittsburgh PA, still below 50° We will be going from that to in the 60' in a matter of a few weeks. So it's getting close.

One of my favorite rigs to throw around grass! Won two tournaments on this rig fishing weed lines and letting it fall into holes

Used to throw that back in the 80's. I used a rubber band to hold the sinker above a finesse worm on 6lb line with a 1/0 hook. Caught a bunch of bass during club tournaments.

I use that rig and also use it on a slider spider head rigged flat ways has a nice wobble as it falls,also will change up with a zoom super fluke jr on that rig ...works all over the mid Atlantic region

I remember fishing the " Do Nothing Worm " and also the Tommy Mike Jr " Gotcha Worm " 4 inch stiff plastic with very little action , coming dtraight thru the water . When the fish are 18 to 20 ft down on the bottom and won't bite on a clear sunny summer day in clear water , bump this rig the humps holding fish , you almost never feel the bite , when it feels like you are hung up on the bottom .......SET THE HOOK !

everyone has the munchies!! the fridge is getting raided! must be diner time!!

This is awesome! 🤙

I put a zoom centipede on a shakey head catches bass including big bass 24/7 here in Missouri

Another new technique thanks Randy

I throw that rig in E Tn. It works very well with the peed & a zipper worm in watermelon red. Smallmouth like it with a 4" watermelon red finesse worm or a 4" cinnamon senko.

No this is a super secret been throwing g this rig for years and know one talks about it,great video

Loved it

In my area , I bet an unsalted bait would work really well. It'll float a lot better than a salted bait and stay above that weedy, mucky bottom.

Randy, Pete Wenners has talked about this the past four years in his April videos. You had a few more details.

Randy I’ve had lots of success on largemouth as well with a rig similar to this one

Randy, Is there a reason that you do not use red paint...Watch all the lessons Thanx

We used a Mojo rig with centipedes all summer at the Rock.

the red finger nail polish....what is the best and what is the color number...

A.k.a. the mojo rig! Works great for northern smallmouth too!

What’s a good centipede color for bass?

Producto lure in Sanford Florida

Lew woolfrey won a lot of money with that centipede.. Called it a "French fry".. Used it with a Tenn slider pro head..

I just ordered a bunch of those Centepedes from Amazon 😁. I fish in stained water so I figure I’ll use one of those red coloured hooks…What do you think? Man it’s gonna be a long winter.

Hay man I am from shiny a tournament at Stockton soon if you can do a other fishing report if you have time it would really help us out, and thank you for making such great content

I use a Zoom lizards a water melom color also catches them .

I meant to say I used to use the same technique with a zoom fish doctor.

Randy, you said you use 6-8lb test line are you using mono, fluro, or braided line???

My go to is a Mojo rig with an old riverside air fry.

Does this rig work for shallow spawning largemouth and smallmouth too? I have a smallie spot and a largemouth spot within walking distance of each other. The largemouth spot is low water clarity and the smallie spot is about 5-10 feet water clarity.

Hey Ive been going down to Table Rock fot over 20 yrs it's one of our families favorite vacations we take yearly! But usually down there in mid to late summer, this year it will be mid July and be staying she'll knob, any tips on where to find some bass this time of year. I know the higher temps can make for some tough fishing.

Smallmouth love a mojo rig with a green pumpkin rage bug. If nothing else is working, a mojo rig with a rage bug will get it done.

How do you use the same technique with a zoom fish doctor instead of a centipede

Is this similar to a Mojo rig? There's a place on Milford Reservoir, Kansas that's actually a saddle at the entrance of the main cove. I take it that this rig would be a good choice to use there. Use a white centipede, then you might catch hybrid bass instead.

Yep, still throw those bad boys.

Hi randy! I was wondering how you would specifically fish this in table rock? I’m headed down there in two weeks and I’m fixing to catch a bunch of fish with this new technique !

Randy are you going to be down at the Red Crest Tulsa Oklahoma fishing Expo?

The BASS pro Peter T has a similar version on this rig.

@ 5:58 that works for all bass if you ask me. though my main experience is castaic lake california. but only for a small time. 3-4 years and even smaller observing during spawn from a rented boat in the spring. but it was super clear water and even a few times when i was on a rental i could see 15-20 foot down in some of the coves that had 0 wind and the water was just that crystal clear. but the trick i would do on rental would be to turn motor off around the point and then just sit on the front of the boat and use the paddle to paddle down the shoreline but still around 20 yards from shore or so and go into the coves stealthier. so the few times i did observe them during spawn. i would see the big females cruising in small groups usually a lot deeper then all the smaller males in the shallows. usually they would do a big circle in the coves they were in. so you would see them come around and then cruise back out but always deeper then the shallow males on beds. not that they wont spawn there. just mainly they were in small group and cruising when not actually spawning. one time also i was on a huge female that i could see and she wasnt moving really but she was close to a bed that was deeper that i couldnt see that deep and she was just hanging around the top of a big boulder. i couldnt see the bottom of the boulder but for the heck of it that day i also tried to fish lower around it hoping maybe there was more giants down there. but a small male came up chasing my bait and she chased him back down. i tried for 5 hours to catch her and she wouldnt bit anything. came close a few times but always turned... was annoying but also cool to actually see it all happening. but ya all my big fish from there came from fishing deeper then most people would think. also all the big fish i caught at castaic lower and upper besides just a few when they did bite was not like anything you would expect from a fish that is that big. they were all super soft where you have to be in tune with what you are doing to even notice it. even before i moved i almost got one of the biggest fish i ever got there and it hit my bait like 4-5 times on way in just small taps. the bad thing i had big plastic worm and the hook was mainly only at the front part of it. so it kept only biting the back of the worm just barely when i finally pulled my bait all the way in this beast did full breach 5 feet in front of me and was just so cool to see but also big disappointment because that fish was so big. now i live near ky lake so its almost like learning again except a lot of stuff i learned at castaic does apply here also. from shore here its just a lot different. i like to fish deeper period like 10-25 foot and if i could target mainly 20 foot areas thats what i would probably do all year. that to me is where the big ones are most the time from my experience anyways. but that lake also didnt have a lot of stuff for the fish to hide at around the shore like other lakes. all of its cover was in the water. later man. good stuff though. ill have to try the nail polish. the only reason i dont like this method that much is at least from shore. i like to fish bottom or just off the bottom. and having a weight before the hook and worm i snag a lot. i like the weight on bottom and hook higher so hopefully just snag the weight only and only lose it and not full rig. ya and for some reason all my big fish have been dragging or near the bottom... later man

Is this fished like a Carolina rig or just a slow steady retrieve?

Interesting rig. How do you fish it?

Will this method also work on Largemouth or Smallmouth bass?

I like it, but I'm gonna dot the tail in chartuese....just to be different!

With toothpicks also, Carolina to Texas in seconds

Why does roughing it up make it work better?

Does the tooth pick fray the line at all

Will it work with large mouths too?

Randy what’s your rod and reel set up for this rig?

Great info Randy. I like all of your videos. But you're gonna have to start making the titles: most, more most, most-er, most-est, most most deadliest spring technique. Come on, that many most deadly spring tactics are mind blowing. And hard to prioritize. No wonder I need 10 rod and reel combos. I probably just suck. How you say it?

I never understood what fishermen hate sharing their "fishing secrets"

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️

Dead stick peed! Deadly for large mouth here in Michigan

I dunno about the painted sinker..lol but everything else makes sinse
