In this video, you’ll learn how to rig a Gulp Pogy (made by Berkley) for catching a large variety of saltwater species including snook, redfish, trout, and flounder.

Best of all, this rigging method allows this bait to be fishing in a variety of different situations… from fishing the beach, to fishing the flats, to fishing deeper channels.

I’ve been finding best luck with rigging the 3″ Gulp pogie on a 1/8 oz jog head for most situations… ideal for fishing in 2 to 5 ft of water.

Once I plan to fish deeper than 5 ft (which isn’t very often), I’ll use a 1/4 oz jig head so it sinks faster.

The best retrieval method that I’ve found so far is a simple jigging motion in which I make a quick series of two jerks and then letting it sink back to the bottom before doing it again.

If there is a lot of bottom structure, then I speed up the retrieve so that the lure stays just above the hang-ups.

Note: If fishing shallow grass flats, it’s best to keep the rod tip pointed straight up so you can keep the bait elevated above the grass.
