Damiki Rigging, aka moping, is a productive way to catch bass during the fall and winter months but it’s not always the ticket. McKeon Roberts demonstrates the power of snap jigging fluke-style plastics on ball-head jigs during the cold-water period.
TACKLE USED:
- Lunkerhunt Bento Minnow
- VMC Neon Mooneye Jig

- Daiwa Procyon LT 3000 Spinning Reel
- Sufix 832 Braided Line, 10lb

Roberts discusses how electronics and the mood of the fish dictate when to make the tactical shift from moping to snap jigging. He details his tackle setup and how to use your rod, reel, and line as a system to trigger bass with erratic baitfish-imitating action.
