How To Fish The Gambler Big Ez

Featured Replies

Hey guys. Just moved down to florida and learned gambler is all the rage down here. I know the big ez is pretty versatile and folks are using heavy braid on a Swimbait hook and burning it across the surface but how does it work with a heavier Swimbait hook on 20lb Fluoro around stumps and in river channels with little cover? In texas Swimbait fishing usually means the latter. any input appreciated!

You can wake it across the surface, slow swim it mid depth, work it like a jerkbait with twitches & pauses & swim it then let it drop into pockets in the weed cover. I like to use it with a owner 6/0  3/320z twistlock light weighted hook model 5167W-706.

I fish it on a 1/8-1/4 Eagle Claw Lazer Weighted Swimbait 60 Degree Hook 12 lb Yo-Zuri.

 

I pitch it, swim it. hop it... and anything else I can do.

 

Nice bait.

^^This^^ ... I believe using one of the  Owner Twistlock Weighted EWG Swim Bait  hook offers more flexibility with a paddle tail allowing you to fish more different types of conditions without hanging up !

I'm gonna get into fishing some of these this spring for sure. Anyone have a color preference. I he some white ones I acquired but no real luck

I live here in Fla (Orlando) and yes Gambler baits are big down here.I fish these on 5/0 gammys or the owner beast hook.As far as color goes try the Copperfield or green pumpkin.I prefer the  copperfield as it mimics the baitfish down here golden shiners.
