How to Rig Plastic
Bass Baits with ActionDiscs.

ActionDiscs make your best soft plastic bass baits even better. You can still fish your bait slow and twitchy, but with jerk of the rod tip or a quick retrieve your soft plastic lure takes on the swimming action and vibration of a crainkbait!

The video on the right shows how to rig a zoom Super Fluke for striped bass, but the basic technique is the same for any soft plastic bait.

The SlideLock stopper enables you adjust the distance between the bait and the disc allowing you to "tune" the action of the bait. Click the SlideLock link for details.

When you Texas Rig your plastics, just slide the bullet sinker on your line, slide on the ActionDisc and tie on your bait.

The disc imparts a natural swimming action on an even retrieve. When you vary the retrieve with a jerk of the rod tip, the disc causes the bait to wiggle like mad as if desperately trying to escape. The sudden burst of vibration emitted from the disc is an additional strike trigger.

When you rig without weight for top water baits (floating worms, plastic frog etc.) use a SlideLock stopper (as shown) to keep the disc from sliding up the line on the cast.

The clip of the plastic frog on the right shows how much erratic swimming action the disc provides, even with a very slow retrieve .

Top Water Tube Baits

ActionDiscs create a deadly chaotic splashing action on the surface when you fish floating bass baits and worms. The video clip at right shows the results of a standard tube bait rigged with a couple floating Walleye beads (shown above).
