In this video, we put the Texas rig worm to the ultimate test with some exciting and unique alternatives. Join us on Lake Guntersville as we try out a super popular tournament bait discussed by Alton Jones Jr. to see if it truly catches more fish. We’ll also be testing the innovative Geecrack Bellows Gill and Raid Hira Tailor—two extremely unique Japanese soft plastic lures. Will these new baits outperform the traditional Texas rig worm in catching bass? Watch to find out!

Try the 5.8 bellows stick in place of your senkos
Looks like that would kill on a free rig
Have you maybe tried that on like a larger drop shot maybe?
They work but for the price of them there are equally good baits with better durability that also get bit. I can’t justify paying that kind of dough to have the bait ripped on smaller fish.
I need these in that zman plastic😅
end spotlighting, learn to fish
Mikey…use a 4/0 EWG with an o-ring to keep the nose of the bait from sliding down the hook on the GEECRACK…I do this on rage bugs too and it saves a ton of money on plastics ✌️
The Bellows are great on the Ozark Rig from Core. I love the Shad size on a screw lock size 3, as well. Great bait, just hate getting the tails bit off!
Just what i need another rabbit hole.
Mikey try Tokyo rigging , jika rigging it or even a drop shot. Being even just a water current moves, the body might be killer on one of those rigs.
Mikey, you got to try those on an owner screw lock hook. If they rip the bait, there used to be a tool that I believed Zorro bait made called the zap it. It was basically a battery-powered soldering tip that you could weld the plastic back together or you could also create crazy Frankenstein type baits by basically fusing different parts of different soft plastics together to make custom stuff.
dude!!!! Are you seriously catching fish on these things….Guess it kinda resembles a slug…….way cool video
Twist lock hook makes a big difference
I hope none of the guys i fish tourney against watch this
Been using That Ozark hook . Works even better! Geecrack Worms are crazy too. Bass love them some Crack !! Lmao Companies now make them made out of Elaztech. They last longer. Is it me ? Or do they smell like peanut butter !!
Did you try and skip them yet? Would be interested in seeing how they do
I like them, but the bluegills bite the tails off.
Wedge tail
Use an Owner weighted Beast hook. Swims like a flounder.
The raid makes a great chatterbait trailer as well
I have been catching them since 2021 on the BellowsGill. I use the 3.8 on a Fusion 5-0 swimbait hook with the screw-lock. Usually I fish it weighless and twitch/snap retrieve it in grass.
Man those are definitely different.” Thanks Mikey
If you’re gonna use them for t rigging you gotta get the elastic versions of these! I have them in every color of the bellows shad they offer and they absolutely destroy them here plus I can use one for weeks on end without tearing up. They also released bellows gills and bellows sticks in the elastic form this year too
Now try the Thunderhawk lures Grenade. It’s like Zman plastic
Been using the Belows since Muninore brought them into Iapan import tackle. Nose hook them on a bullet jig with massive natural appeal around rocks & wood. Free weight on a wide gap hook & I super glue them to the shank near the eye. C-Rigs & swinghead ran at a fast pace has increased my bites as well. Fish luv a new treat. Thanx brahman 🤘🤘
