Now I see why they use red thread on the hook shank!
For another finesse swimbait, check out Z-Man Slim Swimz too. Comes in 2.5" and 3".
In one week alone this spring, I caught my pb pike, bowfin, and almost my biggest Northern strain largemouth on the hazedong shad. Haven't seen many guys throwing it out here.. super finessey!! The crappie will choke it for sure
I don't know, that one in your right hand looked kind of hairy to me. LOL
Hi Randy,
Are you using the 1/0 or 3/0 sized hook on this head? To me the 3/0 seems like it would be too big for a 3" bait, let alone when the head is cut off. I'm just about to start chasing smallmouth on the St Lawrence and would love to try this out.
Thanks!
When Randy says he has a modification get out the scissors and the nail polish !!!!! And don't forget the dye
Man that really looks good with the head cut off n snug up against the head
Your boy did a good job on the intro👍
great info, as always! thank you!
I would actually argue that the 4 eyes could be more natural when imitating Shad, because of their black spot right behind their eye.
Can anyone share an informed guess as to whether Randy was using the 3" or the 4.2" size ? I'm guessing at 1/8 oz. it may be the smaller 3" – but I don't know that! Thanx!
What would you do differently with same setup for little more off color water ?
Hi Randy, really enjoy your shows! what type & weighted jig head are you using? Thanks!
Very good tip, I never rig my swimbaits "four-eyed" either. I fish a lot of clear, shallow water, and I can say the more realistic the bait the better the chance of drawing a bite, in my experience.
You might like the ZMan Slim SwimZ for this rig, they already have a flat nose on them, and I like the way the tail sticks up when I pause it or hop off the bottom.
Like the intro Randy. Looks good. Tell that boy good job
Good stuff again Randy. I was wondering if you’ve ever thrown that set up on an under spin?
That looks like a delishous morsel to get a bite with…thanks Randy!
Great Job!
Randy as a novice fishing woman, learning your techniques and secrets has given me super confidence on the water. Thanks for sharing.
Rigging sumthing up with 2 sets of eyes always bothered me as well. My region in AZ has nothing but clear water fisheries, so 4 eyeballs is gonna look "off". But to my surprise they eat all 4 eyes just as much if not more than 2 eyed rigs. In my opinion kietech's tails movement doesn't match thier speed. I'm partial to MegaBass except for underspins than I use AA.
