Jason Christie details his approach to two very different, highly common situations where he trusts soft-plastic lures to put bass in the boat.
Learning bass fishing techniques through experience is an outstanding thing, but it is gradual and involves plenty of trial and error. Fortunately, with today’s fishing media, you can quickly learn from hard-earned expertise of top bass fishermen, including 2022 Bassmaster Classic Champion Jason Christie.
The YUM Baits YouTube channel recently released a couple of gold-mine videos, where Christie digs deep into his approach to two substantially different situations for fishing soft-plastic lures. One breaks down offshore worm fishing; the other, flipping shallow cover. The common denominator is that both come from Christie’s long experience and detail everything from set-ups to rigging to presentations and the thought processes behind every aspect.
We're excited to share both videos with you. Get ready to gain a wealth of knowledge in a very short time!
Offshore Worm Fishing Masterclass
Jason Christie’s Flipping System
YUM Mother Bug
Durability meets realism in the YUM Mother Bug, a new hybrid craw/flipping bug that is built to take punishment, move water and collapse cleanly for solid hooksets.
A bulked-up head holds the hook securely through countless casts, pitches, or flips, keeping the bait intact even when dragged through grabby cover. A Tex-pose bump allows for effective weedless rigging. A V-shaped ribbed belly creates water flow and flexibility to enhance control, add appeal and maximize hook-up rates.
Micro-appendages on both sides add subtle, lifelike vibration while elongated claws offer tight, realistic swimming action as the bait falls and help the Mother Bug effectively imitate a crawfish.
From punching grass to flipping laydowns to pitching docks, the Mother Bug delivers a presentation bass simply cannot resist.
YUM Gadget Worm
Don’t be deceived by the YUM Gadget Worm. The asymmetrical profile is highly intentional, crafted to create an off-balanced shimmy that mimics nature. But that’s just the start. Everything about this next-generation finesse worm is engineered for multi-purpose performance.
An enlarged head holds nail weights for a Neko rig securely and resists tearing. At the opposite end, a bulbous tail features a unique action tip that responds to the slightest bait movement and offers an irresistible micro-action even as the Gadget Worm is settling. A perfectly placed 360-degree indention simplifies centering an O-rig for wacky and Neko rigs.
The Gadget Worm was designed as the ultimate Neko rig worm, but the same profile, movement, and features make it an exceptionally diverse finesse worm and an outstanding choice for shaky heads, drop shots, finesse Texas rigs, and more.
