Stanley Ribbit – Redfish-catching lure with plenty of action that excels in grassy situations!

Stanley Ribbit – Redfish-catching lure with plenty of action that excels in grassy situations!

Perhaps you have been rigging soft plastic lures for years in the weedless fashion bass anglers have dubbed a Texas rig. If so, I'm preaching to the choir. However, if this is new to you, here's a series of photos to enlighten you to this weedless setup. Well weedless is always relative to application but this is about as weedless as you can get.

Thread a wide gap offset worm hook into the nose of the Stanley Ribbit and push it through to the eye.

Bend the body of the Ribbit slightly and insert the point of the hook into the body, at the point where the shank bend will allow the bait to lie flat after the hook point is pushed through and the point lies in the groove.

This is about as weedless a rig as you can find some marsh reds in heavy cover and tie one on!
