In this video Jeff Little of Blue Ridge Kayak Fishing demonstrates some effective techniques for rigging soft plastics for river smallmouths. He shows how to rig a weedless tube (or should I say rockless?), a simple yet effective stick worm rig and a creature bait using Hawghead Baits soft plastic lures.

Informative thank you. If your ever in S.C. email me. I found some excellent spots.

Can’t wait to try some deadsticking!
Now just to find the Hogs Head baits.
Just came back from 5-day canoeing/camping/fishing trip down the New River headwaters in VA. Sure could have used this info there - river is up and muddy, and fishing very slow. Still managed a few 2-3+ pounders - but it was a lot of work….
