Now this is something here. Pretty nice fish right there. He got a top and bottom of his tails
kind of tore up. But that's a real nice fish and he came off that little stick right there.
But this is something that I've been throwing around a little bit. This is called the Drop
Dead Minnow Hook, and as you can see I've got a little Trigger X bait on here. The really
neat thing about this hook is Davie Hite helped design this. You can see where the weight
is on the bottom half of this and you put it on just like this-you can see it's got
a little keeper-just like it. But because of where that weight's positioned, you can
take a drop dead minnow or any of these baits like this and it really makes that bait to
come to life and when you drop it in the water, as you can see, it really makes that bait
fall vertical and it makes that tail wiggle back and forth. This is a really neat way
to fish this Flutter Worm and what this is, this is the Drop Dead Minnow Hook made by
VMC and Davie Hite actually helped design this for the Drop Dead Minnow. But as you can
see its got a keeper but you see where the weight is positioned on the hook and that
really makes all the difference in these baits like the Drop Dead Minnow and this, the
X Flutterworm. You can see I got a little bluegill color on and I've been pitching this
around shallow cover, around this grass, beds, and willow trees. This is really a
neat way because what it does is- especially like we're out here today and we've got a
wind advisory like 20-25 mile hour wind- a lot of times when you fish these Flutter Worms
weightless you get the wind blowing you around but this bait here you can really- where this
weight is positioned really makes this tail wiggle and it makes that bait flow vertical
and gives it a lot more action makes it glide and tail shake as it goes to the bottom. You
can fish this bait a lot faster you can fish it up in 6 inches of water and you can fish
it out in 10 feet of water and it gives the bait a lot of action and it gives you more
weight it's a lot easier to feel. You can fish faster and I've caught a ton of fish
this spring. Look for this in stores. This is called the Drop Dead Minnow Hook and this
is the Trigger X Flutter Worm. Now I've got this on 15 fluorocarbon but you can
fish it on 20 but it's just a different way of rigging these Flutter Worms. It gives it
more action and like I said I'll just pitch it up to the bank and as it goes to the bottom
the bait will wiggle and glide then I'll just lift up like so and let it go back to the
bottom. I can do that all the way back to the boat. I can pull it up to the surface
and it will wiggle and it will glide it'll turn but that belly weight on that Drop Dead
Minnow Hook gives it a lot of action. These fish really especially right now around the spawn
they really don't like it at all. I think this will be a really good presentation this
summer especially around boat docks. Whenever you get bluegill and bream around docks, I
think you can skip this in the shade and fish it underneath the foam. I think you'll catch
a lot of fish- pull it up and let it go to the bottom. It's real simple to fish but the
whole key to it is the hook-that Drop Dead Minnow Hook made by VMC really adds to the
action of the bait.
Here he comes... He's nosed up on it...There he goes... He got it! He didn't
like that Flutterworm in the bed at all. Now you can tell that male here has been here
a little while. He's kind of long and tails skinny and kind of got some sores but we threw
that BX Minnow up here and he kind of waked on it. Hold up here and seen him on the bed.
Threw the Flutterworm in there with that Drop Dead Minnow Hook and he bit it both times
and it's a pretty good 1-2 punch a lot of times. A lot of times I give those fish away
and a lot of times you may need one more other bait to catch him but a lot of times it will
at least let you know where they're at. That fish, once we saw him, he was really easy
to catch. He bit on the first cast; he bit it on the back end. I missed him and I put
on another Flutterworm and caught him on the very next cast. So, let me get another Flutterworm
so I can go down the bank to see if I can catch another one.
