3 Bass Fishing Rigs You Need To Know! ** UNDERWATER LURE FOOTAGE! **

Whether you’re brand new to fishing or a seasoned pro, this time of year you need to know 3 basic techniques. The Wacky Rig ( Senko ), The Shaky Head Worm, and the Texas Rig Creature Bait are must haves! Today we’re looking at how to rig (and fish) each method, as well as watching underwater footage of how the different rigs move underwater. 

This video is back to the basics! We get so caught up in the details of fishing that sometimes we forget to cover the basics. No matter how often you fish, these 3 rigs should be in every angler’s Spring time arsenal. From shallow cover, to grass, to offshore structure, these rigs get big when others don’t. 

Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and colors we use for each rig, along with details on hooks, weights. We’ve also included our favorite affordable rods and reels for fishing these techniques effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each.
