They skip really well.

The VMC bands work ok but they break fairly easy. Best I have found for a stick bait is clear electrical shrink tubing. On Amazon for practically nothing. For the best hold put a screw lock into the stick worm, then the shrink tube. Put your hook through the shrink tube and the screw lock. Not perfect but better than anything else I have found. I caught hundreds of fish on a wacky this spring so tried a lot of things to keep from going through so many baits.

Perfect hook for drop shot Texas rig.

I've been using the VMC crossover rings for a couple years now and they work great for wacky rig and I also use it with the zoom trick worm and it all works great for me and catches fish

Been using VMC rings for several years. Really like them.

Great hook for mojo rig type baits …. Will pick some up.

Good video and thank you for the tips. It's one of my favorite baits as well. I have another technique, let it sink to the bottom, and drag it over rocky cover like a crawdad and let it stop briefly, and repeat. It resembles a fleeing crawdad especially with a good trailer. It's almost like the yo-yo, but more gentle, just lift a little bit to keep it just off the bottom, pause, repeat. You could almost say it's like a hybrid between your yo-yo and ripping techniques, only slower. Obviously, green pumpkin is a great color for this.

My Wife and I have been using the Crossover for over a year. Love these rings. Does it seem like some times you lose more stick baits, I don't feel like I lose any more than any other method. I do have the tool to use a smaller ring. The tool was only $16 and it was a good investment. Being able to wacky or neko rigging with the same band is nice.

I use a 6mm crossover ring in clear for senkos and they allow you to catch several bass on one senkos and the clear disappears on whatever color you put them on

Those weights are cool. I’ve been using a small piece of surgical tubing on my wacky rigs.

I have used them in the past and found that fairly often a fish that bites either end of the worm can pull the worm right out of the band pretty easily. I have switched to using shrink tubing and found that that worm is never coming off

Darn I meant #screwhead

Idk how you could from livescope to that

If you use too big of a band and the fish grabs the end of the worm, you'll be bringing back in a hook and a band without a worm. Been there and done that.

I’ve been using the VMC wacky products since last year and they are awesome. What’s nice is you can switch from wacky rig to Nico rig just by moving the hook from horizontal to vertical hole

I once waky rigged with zip ties…..and it worked 😂

Thanks Miles. ✌️

I bought my first chatter baits back when they first hit the market. I fished with them any time I was on the water for about a year and a half with no success at all. Not even a snag on a submerged anything that would give me hope. One day I was heading home from a local park pond fishing trip. I was fishing my way along the bank on my way back to the truck to head for home. I got a hit, finally. It turned out to be a decent sized bass. I got so excited that I turned around and walked back down the same bank and I got a second hit. This time it was a channel catfish. I never thought that a catfish would even hit an artificial lure. About fifteen minutes later I caught a second Channel catfish on a chatter bait. After that day it just seemed like I routinely started catching fish using my chatter baits. I've caught bass, channel cats and flathead catfish using chatter baits. I'm at a loss for why it took so long to actually catch anything at all while fishing a chatter bait. I must have just been holding my mouth the wrong way for a year and a half while fishing these chatter baits. instagram.com/p/CruHm8JPRZn/?img_index=1

Do I use braid or fruro ? Clear water.

I throw flukes a lot. I'm always looking for a better hook that has more bite (hook above the tie). I'll give them a try. What is Zmans soft jerkbait called? I've never tried them.

Does it not even explain technique what line what rod just does what I normally do myself to didn’t learn nothing

How was it when u had that 19ft boat was that u was it a rough ride .. or was it the guy from tenn

I use several Hayabusa style hooks cause they are better than others for certain styles. This 971 I agree will perform very well for all the reasons you mentioned. But I don’t have to wait for its release cause I started using Gamakatsu g finesse hybrid worm hooks last season and it’s the exact hook including the slick coating. The hook up rate is phenomenal and it seems to penetrate the mouth a bit farther back from the lips penetrating the hard cartilage.

Great looking hook Miles. Matching line to hook so important. Thanks man. ✌️

Finally! Could this be an alternative to the ever popular Owner Haymaker? I can already tell this new Hayabusa is a great addition to an already stellar hook lineup. Can’t wait to try ‘em

Awesome thanks

Mine is acting up- what’s the best method to recalibrate? You got a vid on that?

Another good video Miles!

Good choices Miles. Thanks man. ✌️

Thanks for helping us bank fisherman 🎉

I'm curious if you night fish also . What kind of setups do you use if you do . Table Rock Lake and bull shoals lake are my home lakes . Thanks for doing these videos . Very helpful . Always praying for Rylee . ❤

Perfect timing, may you do a night fishing video?

Good stuff

@SonarFishing I'm surprised that you didn't say the Turbo FattyZ

@SonarFishing appreciate you doing my video request

Good choices Miles. Love a frog as much as possible. Happy Birthday. My bd was on the 24th of May. ✌️

Thanks for your insights! That's my b-day too.

Great video brother!

Great vid as usual. My question is, is the answer to the question of best bait in any month area dependent? For example, I break the USA into at least 3 areas...north, mid and south. Is it a different answer based upon the zones for the month?

Ok. So I’ve been clueless to the fact that you’re a Zman guy, but now that I know I’m excited to learn some tips.

Super glue and I don’t bond well. As a fly tier, I tie fluoro keepers on my EWG hooks at the 90. Works for both plastisol and Elaztech. While in the vise, the hook eyes are hit with UV resin just like the high end VMC hooks. No rough edges at the hook eye.

Hello it Emmett and your videos are amazing

Happy birthday

Hey Miles, I’m fishing a couple of club tournaments the first week of June on Jordan Lake and the only docks are at the boat ramps😂

You left out the best old school Purple Worm hard to beat.

@SonarFishing can you please do a video on what lures you would recommend for the Rainbow and Withlacoochee River in Florida for us bank fishing guys

Great video ! I'm doing my research on getting into a livescope unit. You've sold me on the 1022 or 1222. Did I see this morning that an lvs36 transducer is about to be released? Thanks heaps

Prayers for your family
