The Minimalist Fisherman

The EASIEST Plastic Worm Rig in fishing isn't the Texas Rig, it isn't the Carolina Rig, and 90% of fishermen FORGET about it after they learn a few other techniques... so I wanted to remind you about the best plastic worm rig for many conditions. It will help you catch more fish! The Ultimate Jigs for Plastic Worms ► https://bit.ly/TheUltimateJig Time to get after it. BASS IS BASS... and #TheHuntFor250 continues... Bass count: 105 / 250 (Better keep getting after it...) MMB Episode 26 More Fishing Videos ► http://bit.ly/MondayMorningBites Let's get better. @aj.hauser

You can catch more fish by changing your strategy with the conditions. This includes the baits you're using, the depth you're fishing, EVEN THE BODY OF WATER YOU DECIDE TO GO TO! Today was an example of that. With every intention of leaving to fish early and hit the creek - Mother Nature made it very clear that she had other plans... fortunately, the decision to move paid off! Being flexible will help you whether you're fishing from a boat, fishing from a float, or fishing from the bank. Time to get after it. | https://theminimalistfisherman.com/

The creeks have been on fire lately - but let's head out and fish the rip-rap for some largemouth bass! | http://theminimalistfisherman.com

Testing some Sufix® ProMix monofilament fishing line at a familiar lake with crankbaits... but based on the conditions... the day turns into a panfish bonanza!! Sufix ProMix™ is a perfectly balanced, low memory line that offers high knot strength and smooth casting. It's perfect balance of performance properties assures smooth, easy handling. High tensile and knot strength with low stretch and high shock absorption provide fast, sure hooksets. Low memory which improves casting distance. It's also pretty darn cheap. http://theminimalistfisherman.com/

Made in the USA - Berkley® x5™ Braid Fishing Line is made of 100% polyethylene fibers, x5 Braid weaves 5 strands of material into a single line, rather than the standard 4 strands used in most PE lines. As a result, x5 Braid is significantly stronger and more abrasion-resistant – so you can rip right through heavy vegetation and fish deep inside woody cover as needed, with no worries. Virtually no stretch, for amazing sensitivity. Let's test it to see if it's stronger than the Spiderwire EZ Braid that kept breaking on us a few episodes back. Go getcha some! | http://theminimalistfisherman.com/

Don't ever use this fishing line... I lost 3 of 4 fish. Was I a bit "underpowered"? Yes... HOWEVER... I've pulled big bass out of here using 6 pound monofilament and 8 pound fluorocarbon many, many times. 10 pound test is MORE than I usually use. Ah well... no skunk at least. | https://theminimalistfisherman.com/
