I’m 64 years old and even though I know how to rig plastic baits I recommend your video to beginners. Great job!
Thanks for watching Steve!
I'm 56 years old and just beginning my fishing adventure in St Louis. Thank you for the great info! I feel like much less of an idiot about fishing now! I've never fished before and I'm really excited about getting started. There's a TON of bass and catfish out here and I want to start taking some home. Thanks again!
So glad you found the channel! I think I will have plenty of videos from the past few years, and coming out now, that will help you learn and grow as an angler!
Curtis, I hope that you're going to be a really bad fisherman..... so we have less competition! LOL Seriously, welcome to the fisherman's club! :D
Catch anything yet? 😁
@@opencarrynewmexico7566 no
You’ve been missing out sir. Been doing since 10 years old.
Dude, yes! Thank you for not making us endure 10 minutes of self-talk and meandering. If only every KZheadr would follow your lead and get to the dang point, we would all catch more fish. Keep it coming!
That’s the plan around here man! Give y’all the content as fast as I can
Yes!! Covered a lot of material effectively and efficiently!!
I’m 70 years old...haven’t fished in 20 years, but just bought a kayak to rig up for fishing, now relearning how....you DEFINITELY helped me! Thanks!
Heck yeah!! So glad to have you around the channel Learning along with the rest of us!
Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, kzhead.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.
This is a young man who’s clearly making people proud of him 👏
Thanks Joey!
Can you talk about the best times to throw certain plastics, weather that’s time of day or time of year.
For sure!
Do you use a weight while fishing a senko?
Hunter Adams i like to use a bullet weight when I texas rig and weightless when wacky rigging, im not Tyler but I hope I helped.
Hey bud! This is awesome, thank you!!
the main thing I do is try to figure out the color of the water it's self on a warm day I'll start out by fishing the clearest water I can find but on a cold day sutch as a cold front I fish muddy water
Been fishing since I was 5. I’m 40 now and have always left a little bit of the eye of the hook exposed on my texas rigs. Nice tip will definitely make that adjustment.
This video is still going strong after a year. Your videos are so awesome in their instruction and video quality. Thanks so much for working so hard to teach us!
I'm still grateful for you telling me to run the weightless fluke style bait texas rigged last summer. I caught fish when others around me were struggling. This is awesome! Thanks!
🙌🏼
Tyler I came here with 0, absolutely zero, experience with bass fishing. After stumbling across some of your other videos, where you catch fish, it looked like an awesome time. I've watched this video, your beginner set up video, and the one you made after this on how to fish each lure at least a half dozen times, each. And the depth you go to in your attempt to teach the skills of your trade are truly selfless and above and beyond anyone else's I have seen. They have given me a ton of confidence to try out a new skill. Thank you, and God bless.
i've come back to this video at least a half dozen times, and i can finally say i have my texas rig right! i'm using something called a 4/0 "superlock" for my 4" caffeine shad and it looks pretty dang good, they were out of regular old 3/0 wide gap. also messed up on my first try on a weedless ned rig jig head, but got it dang near perfect on the second try. I've learned so much from this channel over the past few weeks that today my dad actually said "maybe it'll be your turn to guide me this weekend." I'm so glad i found TRF!!
Love this Tyler my soft baits always seemed to "scrunched" up and don't look natural, appreciate this post.
with this depth and thoroughness, you're filling a void that cannot be found in one video like you are doing here and in your other videos. thank you
Thank you so much for the kind words!
I haven't fished since I was a preteen and recently wanted to get back into it again. Your videos, especially this one, has been a great guide to help me in knowing what to do.
This is super helpful as exactly how to get the hook in a Texas rig so the bait lies flat is something I struggled with till seeing this. Thanks Tyler, super helpful!
Thanks for great information. You put a lot of time, work, and patience into this.
Tyler does a fantastic and very thorough job of instruction!! I have been an avid fisherman for many years and learned a lot from his video presentation. His presentation, style and personality make for a great and most informative learning experience. Keep up the fantastic job you are doing. From a 63 year old dude.
Thank you so much Jim!
Well done Bro!!! Greetings from Panamá l like so much tour video Bro realy interesting to rig soft bait 👏!!!!
Thank you young man. I'm just starting out to use plastics the right way. I was only taught one way how to hook plastics. After watching your video, I realized that the way I was taught was the ned rig. However, I was taught on a Texas rig hook. Very helpful video.
This was an excellent and highly informative video explaining how to rig baits. Sounds basic but for those of us new to bass AND ultralight fishing, as you said someone has to teach me. Someone taught everyone. So, many, many thanks and please do more shows like this. Nothing is too fundamental when learning to fish.
Okay the transition with the plastics falling through the intro was the smoothest thing I've ever seen...
😤🙌🏼
Yep. As someone who edits an occasional video, I can appreciate the time it took to create that less-than-a-second effect.
Can’t thank you enough. I literally got my first bass combo yesterday and can’t wait to start throwing some soft plastics and catching some fish. I’ll no doubt be spending many hours working through your videos.
Heck yeah!! I’ve got tons of content to help you out, so I’m glad to have you around!
As I am fairly new to bass fishing... I needed this. Thank you!
Thanks Tyler! Newer to bass fishing and haven’t ever (in at least a couple years) seen a better, more comprehensive video covering rigging on all the basic soft plastics. Very helpful, and to the point. Keep em coming!! 👍
Great! Glad to have ya around
Thank you for this video! This is such an underrated aspect of fishing in general, knowing how to rig your lures!
Of course! I think you’ll enjoy the rest of my channel too👍🏼
Thank you so much for all the great info. I am just getting into using soft plastics instead of live bait. I have been trying to figure out the best rig styles for each plastics. I have felt kind of stumped with different baits due to shape size etc. This is exactly what I needed! I will be trying these out🤗
Awesome! That’s amazing
@@TylersReelFishing been trying them out since I last commented and I have been having success! Again thanks for the great info
Great video, i'm in the UK but still use a lot of the soft plastics that you have shown, every day's a school day, i'm 59 fishing since i was 7 and learnt a lot from your tutorial, great job
Just started Bass fishing and coming from Montana where all I did was fly fish, your videos have been extremely helpful!
Only bass will dislike this video.
ok 15 bass have watched this video so better watch out
Haha
Dang. 33 bass have watched this
I guess they have spread the words in the bass group. 37 watched.
funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnny
Omg!!! (Not in a stupid way) Thank you Tyler!!!! A few rigs I set up correctly. Yet you cleared up at least 3 set ups to help me out. Thanks again!!!! Instant subscribe!!!
Thanks so much Andrew! Exited to have you around the channel 👍🏼
Great video. I now know how to rig all of the plastics i have in my gear. Very informational. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the walk through, getting it above the eye of the hook really makes it look clean
Bro, I just started fishing. This helps a lot thanks man.
Awesome! Hope to keep ya around
What boat do you have
After a long hiatus from fishing, I have really enjoyed your lessons on here. Buying a boat soon and fishing north Texas.
Thank you so much. As a new guy to the fishing world, this was always something I had a really hard time understanding and I don't have anyone to teach me. I am so happy to have found your videos. Keep them up!
Heck yeah! Glad to have you around the channel
Not sure if someone mentioned it. The word for "slendering" is taper lol. Great video.
Hey Tylersreelfishing you are the best KZheadr and your vidoes are on 🔥and keep up the good work
Thanks for always tuning in Elijah!
great fast to point I have putting them on wrong for years
Thanks for the lessons, Tyler. I am spending Christmas with my Florida family and I am going to do some fishing. I have never used worms for bass and the Texas rig is foreign to me. Your tutorial is the best I have seen on KZhead. I will hit the nearest Walmart or Bass Pro Shop to stock up when I get there.
Another awesome tip video! Thanks for helping our stay home time to be beneficial for our increase in fishing knowledge!
Have been loving all the tip videos, without being able to fish right now these tips are great!
Hopefully once you can get back on the water, you can put them into action👍🏼
Finally a KZhead fisherman that doesn't act like a spastic Billy Mays making exaggerated hand gestures with every word and thanks for not opening with "Whats up KZhead" I am only 5 seconds in and you earned a sub. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much! I hope to continue earning your respect and your views 👍🏼 We are all about learning here on this channel
Agreed
Good video! I learned some little intricacies that many take for granted or do automatically and therefore fail to mention when teaching. Soft plastics were unheard of basically when I left off fishing when I left for college. Now, just getting back into it as I plan to retire, I love fishing soft plastics and you have helped showing little intricacies of technique in rigging them. Thanks!
Heck yeah! Glad to have ya around the channel Thomas
Thank you first time throwing a soft plastic senko whacky rig and caught one on the second cast great channel
I already know how to do all of these but I just got bored thx for helping all of the beginner anglers ✌️
Of course!
Thank you, I learned more, than I thought I would.......
That’s always the goal!
Thank you for providing me the most informative video I've watched in a long time!
Solid video! Thank you for filming this, it answered some of my questions and opened up some ideas. I used a swimming shad for the first time this morning and hooked a large mouth on the first cast. There was heavy cover so I went texas rig with my baitcasters. It was so much fun. He was jumping out of the water right before I dragged him though the weeds.
Awesome!
What I wouldn't give to spend a couple hours on the boat with him just to stargaze at his intelligence and learn more on this hobby I love. Awesome video thank you for the advice and tutorial!
Thanks for watching lee!
0:01 Live bait: are you challenging me?!
am i a joke to you
great videos on your channel. Great teaching. On a separate note, you are the first person I have watched who speaks in 1.5 speed and I appreciate that. I usually speed up the play back but not necessary with you
You will never realize how rare your viewpoint is 😂 most people hate how fast I talk, so you’re my new best friend!
This video was extremely helpful! I've been fishing for years but never learned how to rig for bass. Thankful to have ran across this video thanks man so much!
Awesome rob! So glad you found the channel!
We made it through 🇺🇸
I'm the one who asked that on Q&A :D
Thanks for getting this new information out to us old-timers. Your videos have been helping me greatly !
Thanks for the video! I just started bass fishing last year and you showed me some of the things I was doing incorrectly. Can't wait for the thaw to try it the right way. Keep the vids coming!
That’s awesome! I’m glad you are learning so much through the channel
Now can your do a vid on how to fish these cause I’ve never seen some of theses baits you showed
I’ve been putting em out!
Your fixing to catch alot more fish adding sofr plastics to your arsenal! I fish soft plastics probably 80% of the time
Can you show us how to fish each of these lures.
Already did part 2! Linked it as the pinned comment
Best vidéo I’ve seen on this subject.. great job
This was fantastic! Growing up all my father and I ever fished was top water, Jitter bugs, hula poppers, that kind of thing. This was very informative after taking a 15 year hiatus from the sport I just picked up a sportsman 120 from Oldtown kayaks. Cannot wait to try some of these techniques!
Awesome! I’m so glad to have ya around the channel 👍🏼
Instructions unclear, became Captain Hook, so Peter Pan here I come!
I’m also tyler, must be the anti Tyler cuz I can’t even get a bite cept from the skitos 🤣
Not about how u rig it about how pateint u are u could wacky worm it u could throw a dam bulet sinker on it rick it texas style if ur not paitent ur not gona catch fish pateince my friend
Thank you for all the different rigs for the soft plastic baits and hooks. This was very educational. Well done!
Of course!
Awesome content man. It was just what i was looking for.
"You dont need a giant circle hook" *laughs in channel catfish. I know you're talking bass fishing but when you said use a circle hook for whacky rigs the half dozen giant circle hooks I keep for catfishing in my bag popped into my head for some reason.
Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior God bless all ✝️🙏❤️
Amen to that!
I look to my own house of worship 🕍 ✡️ for spiritual discussions, not 🚫 in the comments sections of fishing KZhead videos🙄. ☮️.
@@pamelaklemp5615I feel the same way🙄
thanks for the awsome tips man, ik now the correct hooks and etc! baits r gonna last longer now for sure man. keep up the great work
Thanks for taking the time to do this one. It helps a lot. I have destroyed so may baits trying to get it right.
Glad you liked it mike!
Thanks Tyler I’m getting back into fishing at 58 years old in SoCal. Your videos have been valuable and entertaining. Thank you for all your time effort it does not go unnoticed.
Glad to hear it!
Honestly exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks for all the knowledge, you did Awesome. Not sure how you could of got us all the great info in shorter time. I was that new guy looking for all the fundamentals, so thanks.
Awesome Monte! Glad to have ya around the channel
This has got to be one of the best videos I have ever seen. Thank you for taking the time to explain this.
Thank you for watching! I think you’ll enjoy all of the videos on my channel if you like this one
Tyler you did an excellent job. A young couple starting to bass fish just ask me this question yesterday... Thank You For Sharing 🍺🎣🍺🎣🍺🎣
Awesome! Glad to have ya around the channel 👍🏼
Great job! I love how you segmented the video for quick reference!
Glad you enjoyed it Jeremy!
excellent video.. i have seen many on this topic and they just focus on one or two.. this covers the vast majority and gives detailed explanations.. thanks very much.
Of course mike! Glad to have ya watching
Love your channel... very helpful info for the guys like myself that love to fish but not very experienced... Thanks for the great content Keep up the great work
Appreciate it!
Fantastic video! Thank you! Can’t wait to get out and try these out!
This is excellent. Great presentation style, clear camera work, and no-nonsense information without a lot of hype and self-promotion. Liked and subscribed.
Let’s go! Welcome to the team! Glad to have you on board
This was awesome. Thanks for the refresher….. I learned so much!
Heck yeah Steve!
Wow man I love this video, I knew most of these rigs but you had some tips and pointers that really help man. Thanks! Subscribed!
Heck yeah! Welcome to the team!!
This video was great. Thank you for being super clear and showing all of this. I’m the only one in my family that really likes fishing so this was great at teaching me all of these basics. The review at the end was very helpful too.
You are so welcome! If you liked this video, I really think you will like the last few years of content I have made👍🏼
This is truly amazing! I’ve just gotten comfortable using a baitcaster after using it for months just catfishing with it. Fishing from the bank I’ve been dreaming a lot recently about punching and flipping baits into thick cover and the juicy stuff but work is out so no kayak purchases soon. Starting college this fall so that’s another thing but I’m going to try and save up. Thank you for the words of encouragement!!
Of course! Keep goin for it!
God is good!!!!
Young man thank you for making this video very informative.
This is exactly what I needed to watch! Thanks for the help!
So glad!!
I think I watched this years ago but I am still enjoying your videos. Thanks 🎉
great video for us learners ! Well done!
Your videos are life saving! My father wasn’t in my life so I’m teaching myself how to fish, so when my own son wants to go fishing, we can go fishing. Thank you
That is awesome! I’m so glad I can help
Nice job, thanks for the video!
Hey man, wow this is the absolute perfect video very helpful.Thank you very much for taking the time to do such an in-depth informative video you’re awesome keep it up
Awesome! Glad to have ya around the channel👍🏼
I have been looking for a great video like this that shows close up how to rig. Thanks man. Great video
Heck yeah! I just made a whole bunch of new beginner videos that I think you will probably like as well. Check them out!
Great vid, thanks! Coming from only fishing saltwater this was helpful to learn some of the rigs for freshwater!
Awesome! Glad you learned something
Amazing video, I learned sooooo much! Thank you 🙏
I've been fishing my entire life, but your video was very helpful, and now I can impress my dad with my rigging skills lol. You earned your self a sub. Cant wait to watch some more!
Awesome! So glad to have you around the channel. I think you will enjoy the rest of my content, especially what I made over the past year
I really appreciate your instructional videos. I learn a ton from you. As a highschool science teacher, myself, you've have good teaching skills; very listenable and informative about what not to do and what what's good to do and how to do it. Keep that going; it distinguishes you.
Thank you so much! Definitely going to keep this up
Really appreciate this video, answered questions I've had for years, thanks man!
Heck yeah, I love to hear that!
did not expect this too be that informative great job on the video hopefully it will help me catch a few this weekend
Awesome!
Brand new fisherman here. This was perfect. Thank you!
Watching you longer videos like this reminds me of watching fishing shows on Saturday and Sunday mornings when I was younger. Your probably one of the best fishing content creators on KZhead.
I really appreciate that! I put a ton of planning and effort into these videos, so I am glad that you enjoy them and they are helpful to you
Recently retired from the Military and fished King Salmon in Alaska as a kid; but good lord after a week of videos on YT, I FINALLY find a thoroughly explanatory video that moves from one point to the next and gives all the answers I’ve been looking for… Damn great job my man!!
Love to hear that!
Thanks, helped me prepare for North Carolina
Perfect explanation for a newbie!
