Many crappie caught using wiggle rigs are in the
slab size. Not only are crappie slab being caught with
the wiggle rigs; Bass, Bream, Walleye, Pike, Trout,
Catfish, and even deep sea fish are drawn to the unique
lure or live bait movement created by
the patented Spectastic high tech fishing
line.
In this article, I am going to explain the
Wiggle Rig and show you the difference Between the Wiggle Rig and the Drop
Shot.
Hook: This can
be the small hook that I have used in the picture or a
3/0 or 4/0
Rod: You can use
either the Bait Caster or the Spinning Rod 6 1/2 or 7
foot
Wiggle Rig Assembly:
Ok, let's put this together.
First tie your hook on the main line about 4
to 6 inches above the Pineapple swivel or barrel
swivel now attached it to the swivel.
Now add the Spectastic (Bungee Cord) to the
swivel and to the wire and weight.
You're probably asking why I said to use
straight tail worms. We have found that if you
try the curly tails you will not get the
same action out of your bait. When was the
last time you saw a night crawler with a
curly tail?
I know you are thinking the wiggle rig
and the drop shot look the same, but the big
difference is a Drop Shot is fished vertical. If you look at the picture,
I have the Wiggle Rig at an Angle.
Casting Technique:
What you want to do is cast past your target
and catch the bottom where the Spectastic (Bungee Cord) gets a load up on it
allowing the bait to be over lets say the Bass or Crappie bed.
You do not want to pull it to hard just load
up the bungee cord so all you have to do is
wiggle the tip of the rod and the bait
comes to life.
Some of you are saying that hook is too small
and I am here to tell you it is not too small. It has caught up to an eight pound
bass on it.
Where To Use Wiggle Rig:
This Rig is mainly what I would use in the spring when the fish
are shallow, or on the beds. I have had guys
from a bunch of lakes look at the action and
tell me "That Aint Right". They are
seeing something that has never been seen
before and all of us Pros have been
using it and not talking about it.
Practice Makes Perfect:
I recommend you practice with the Wiggle Rig
in the pool or bath tub because if you have lakes
like in the Mid-South, they never clear
up so I have to know what that Wiggle Rig is
doing at all times. I PRACTICE before going to the lake and throwing
it.
I can promise you if you will take it and
practice with it and hit the lakes this spring;
you will have a great time catching your
favorite fish. It will blow your mind when no one
else is catching fish. You can walk up with
a Wiggle rig and tear them up. The action in
the video will make you want to try this out for
your self.
Like I mentioned at the beginning of the
article, it has been tested for Bass,
Crappie, Bream, Walleye,
Pike, Trout, Catfish and even deep sea
fish.
Something that works so good on so
many fish you can't go wrong. Give it a try
and I mean a honest try. Don't go throw
it once and say, Oh it does not work and
throw it in the bottom of your tackle box.
You will see what I am talking about....try a
night crawler. We all know if you throw
a night crawler in the water, he will wiggle
for a few seconds and if a pan fish does
not eat him, he will sink to the bottom and
stop wiggling.
If you put him on your Wiggle Rig, you can keep him dancing
under water and it will up your chances of taking home
some fish for that fish fry. Good Luck!
