Opps that release or article was a false one,still 3 rig,had hoped their was a way myself for those that own 5 rigs to be able to use one,other than taking two off.

I love it! Stick to your game and your strengths. Its tempting to downsize and throw something conservative when fishing for fun during tough bites-I can only imagine the pressure to scrap your game plan to catch some fish when big things are at stake. Keep up the good work Matt! You will persevere!

Tight lines, Matt! Pretty cool that you are challenging the norm, both by adjusting to the conditions and fishing your strengths. It’s about positive attitude and confidence and sounds like you have both!

Keep us posted Matt-looking forward to a great report!

I’m seriously diggin’ your approach…..focusing on 5 bites with a swimmer than punching a Beaver with the rest of the world. You are who you are. Good luck bro, I hope you get your bites.

Tn has made a ruling,if you own a 5 rig it can be used just with 3 hooks,in other words other two arms contain teasers,either baits without hooks or blades etc.

Swim-Baits a Power House bait from what I’ve seen!

Matt, is this primarily a deep Summer technique when bass are stuffed under cover? When do you use a slow technique versus a fast technique, like burning or ripping a TT to pull a reaction strike. Also, does this technique seem more productive fishing around visible structure or around bluff walls, suspended fish, or underwater structure?

Wow, I work my baits way too fast. Deadsticking is way beyond the veil for me, but I can totally see the value of rate of stall. I just got a JSJ Trout floater and this really pumps me up to watch this video. I agree, a rat is definitely on my radar now.

Matt,

Great topic! I have been throwing the Roman Made Negotiator a lot over the last few weeks. The biggest advantage I have found with this bait is it’s ability to pause around structure. It sinks slowly and has an S like motion in the water. Most of the strikes I have been getting from this lure are when I pause it just above drop off or above sunken bushes.

The reason I bring this up is because it fits perfectly with your rate of stall. This bait sinks so slowly you can stall it pretty easy under the water. I think a lot of what you stated in the clip can also be related to some topwater frogs on the market and the Deps buzz jet. I love creating that subtle ripple on top that get those bass going quickly.

Looking forward to see you do something on color patterns, hopefully it’s in the works.

Great content it really helps us average anglers better understand the best way to retrieve these big baits.
