😎 Throwing the jerkbait around and getting a bunch of action/follows but no bites. Switched to the A-rig, first time I’ve ever thrown it and whammo.

Cold & overcast mostly, but the sun peeked out for a minute & this guy savagely attacked my swimbait setup. Wasn’t even gonna get out but @bassforecast convinced me the bite might be there.

It never fails, when I get the fish all worked up... I have issues getting a hook out. I try and be as delicate as possible to insure a healthy release but I saw at least 3 fish come up with this guy and one of them was a solid 4. 🔝 @venom_lures Glimmer series Spinner bait + Donkey Snatcher trailer All rigs spooled up with @k9fishingline Let’s gooo 🧜🏽‍♂️💦 ••• “When the Drag is On, a Fish is On” —-<°)))>< • Always practicing CPR 🎣 📸♻️ #dragonfishon #tightlines #ilovethissport #smallmouthbass #fishing #largemouthbass #venomlures #getvenomgetbit #bassinainteasy #stayafterit #keepalinewet #pullingdrag #basselite #fishon #bassfishing #keepalinewet #lunker #blackbass #basspro #fishingisdope #flwfishing #bassmaster #fishingtrip #fishingdaily #fishingislife #whatgetsyououtdoors #ilikebigbassandicannotlie #fishingtime #fishingboat @apple (at Somewhere Getting It in) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIyHAPCADZ8/?igshid=1v02uioz790q4

Here’s another multi hook rig I personally don’t see thrown much that’s super effective. The Tandem or Double fluke rig.

So I got a few DM’s asking which A-rig I went with. Unfortunately these are no-longer on the market but my good buddy & owner of @venom_lures sent me the setup from his personal stockpile and here it is. I went with the dark profiled dummies on top since the state of Nevada only allows 3 hooks. 🔝 @venom_lures A-rig (discontinued) + Swimbait Heads & Donkey Snatcher trailers All rigs spooled up with @k9fishingline Let’s gooo 🧜🏽‍♂️💦 ••• “When the Drag is On, a Fish is On” —-<°)))>< • Always practicing CPR 🎣 📸♻️ #dragonfishon #tightlines #ilovethissport #smallmouthbass #fishing #largemouthbass #venomlures #getvenomgetbit #bassinainteasy #stayafterit #keepalinewet #pullingdrag #basselite #fishon #bassfishing #keepalinewet #lunker #blackbass #basspro #fishingisdope #flwfishing #bassmaster #fishingtrip #fishingdaily #fishingislife #whatgetsyououtdoors #ilikebigbassandicannotlie #fishingtime #fishingboat #fishingrod (at The Venomverse) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIBhLAsg5K3/?igshid=i56o1fso9nib

This combo has been really effective for me recently. But I need to modify it a little so that I don’t get short strikes.
