I just bought a bunch of these from a yard sale near me. They get great reviews on bass pro shops. Guys seem to fish them all different ways from weightless to football jigs. So let's hear from the guys who use this bait. How do you like it ? How do you rig it? Thanks in advance !!!

Who goes to a yard sale and finds "a bunch" of Yamamoto stuff? They was probably priced dirt cheap too. You're winning!

Do the mango rig

throw it all year. super underrated bait.

Can use a tungsten or cheap egg sinker.  Acts like a jika or Tokyo rig but slides easier than your traditional bullet sinker.  That’s why the Mango rig is so effective and you can fish in light to moderate cover.

Gotcha

Jig trailer, T-rigged with sliding bullet and C-rigged.

Great bait. I fish it t-rigged with the weight pegged.

I use it for flipping/pitching on a texas rig with a 1/4 - 3/8 oz. slip sinker. I've found it to be effective as an alternative to a flipping tube.

Fish it like a jig and as a jerkbait. T-rigged, 1/4 oz bullet weight, Texposed

 

 

I rig them weed less and try to punch them into grass and Lilly pads, I lite t-rig them weedless on a sliding bullet weight, sometimes just peg the weight, or just use them on a 1/16, 1/8 or1/16 oz. jig head. A lot of good creature baits out there. 

I am like others: Texas rigged with a 3/16 slip sinker either pegged or unpegged depending on where it is going.
