How To Rig a Rubber Shad For Striped Bass Fishing
This video demonstrates how to rig a Berkley style rubber shad lure bait (Texas style) for striped bass fishing. The technique can be applied to other kinds of rubber lures. Copyright (c) artsnflies.com
Yes but as shown it’s unweighted to it will be tough to cast into the open surf. Better to rig it on a jig head instead.
i live right behind a river in riverside CT thats full of stripers and bluefish right know they’re spawning. would that be a good choice of lure? i know i should use a steel leader in case a “blue” was to strike. from: Jeremy also should a jig it, swim it, or jerk it. thanks
on a scale 1- 10 how good you think this jig is?
That’s the area the Capt. fishes it.
You can ask that of any lure. It’s choosing the right tool for the right job.
I been rigging my rubber shad in the wrong way until i saw this video. Great video.
Thx
is it the same with live herring?
Do you think a herring would stay alive long rigged like that?
Can i use it with pike?
I don’t see why not.
can i use this lure to catch large mouth bass or pecock bass in south glorida?
Don’t see why this or a similar style of rubber wouldn’t work. Depends on the conditions.
how do u hook a fish like that when it bites. do u just yank it up?
thnx 4 demonstrating how to do it.
i live in Connecticut and i fish in the new haven harbor , would this work at night ?
Of course but you might want to use a dark color at night instead.
Just strike as you normally would. The point is already outside the rubber body. If the fish strikes hard enough and you have a sharp enough hook it usually hooks itself.
what size was that rubber shad?
We caught a couple Striper on a 1oz lead head with a 5 in fish trap swim bait; I like that rig you showed/ Im gonna try it.
Not sure the exactg size. I’d say 10″ or so.
new haven harbor is a great place to fish. I used to flyfish for striper up there… i fish jersey and delaware these days. This will certainly work- ive caught several fish there in the past on a similar setup with “saltwater assassins”. I would rig these plastics with a carolina rig, as if fishing for largemounths… God luck
kinda like a texas rig
very good explanation
he mean texas riging
Similar, execpt Texas rigging usually leaves the hook point inside the rubber to keep it snag-less.
Very good video. Thanks for sharing.
