I’m out fishing today with the cheapest & easiest fishing rig ever, the Realistic Rig. The only thing you need is a hook and a pinch on sinker and you can be out there fishing. Today my bait of choice is a 1 inch Gulp Minnow. You could also use a worm, minnows, corn, bread, any kind of small bait will work. You can always be fishing near the bottom while being able work your bait for a bite with this simple rig.
After a morning of tough bass fishing, I tie on a Realistic Rig to avoid getting skunked for the day. Check it out in the video below.
