Does A JIG Really Catch BIGGER BASS? (Jig VS Plastic Challenge) // Putting the Jig to the Test Ep. 1

Спорт

Jig fishing for bass and fishing texas rigs for bass are some of the most popular ways of catching bass.
It has always been known that jigs seem to catch quality bass but recently I have heard, from a PRO, that plastics get those exact same bites...plus they get more bites in general. So I am gonna try and test this!
In this video I fish both a texas rig craw and a jig back and forth and figure out which ones gets bigger bites.
I plan to do this a lot more in the future and keep a running tally.

    This was a really cool video. Haven't watched anyone else do this type of experiment. Spinnerbait vs chatterbait? 🤔You may already have a video, but I can't find it. Good stuff man.

    I never used a jig much because I never caught any on it (probably because I wasn't using it) so I decided to use a jig a lot the last couple years and I have caught my PB with a jig so now I have always have a jig on and I throw it constantly, not only have I caught my PB but I have caught more bass over 5lbs in one year than ever in my life! I love jigs!

    Good and interesting video, you should consider the mayor population of anglers, that is the bank or pond anglers that do not have a boat. Majority of youtubers focused of course into fishing with a boat but fishing lakes and ponds without a boat is a complete different challenge. Thanks Tyler.

    @@BassFishingHQ thank you for your reply, but spring is one of the most easy season to catch bass since they are very active as you well know. Bank anglers normally do not have or use the tech to find them and in winter is really tough and you really need to use your knowledge and common sense, there is when expert anglers like you come to make the difference.

    Delightful video, but do this same comparison in cold water conditions and the jig outperforms by a much bigger margin. Just my thoughts as I love both set ups equally but I have very specific criteria/conditions that dictate which one I will be using.

    Considering that the jig bite was fished almost 2x longer, wouldn't you think in equal time fishing the texas rig would have been able to catch nearly twice as many fish and culled them for a bigger bag?

    it's hard trying to compare baits or test if one gets more bites because you might fish in a heavier populated area with one bait and not even find any fish with the other bait

    Tyler, i have 2 questions. Why do you and other pro's engage and disengage the thumbar on your reel often when catching a big fish? Secondly, can you fish a jig in grassy ponds from the bank? Awesome channel!

    Some guys like to use their built in drag system but myself and others prefer to control the “drag” with out thumbs. This is something I have always done and I just feel really comfortable with it. Fishing a jig in grassy ponds can be done but it can also be very difficult depending on what type of grass is in the pond. A lot of ponds have snot grass in them which makes fishing a jig near the bottom very hard. But you could also swim a jig above the grass to mimic a bluegill and catch bass that way

    You needed to time how long it took to catch a fish on each one. The craw might catch more fish because it catches them faster. I find that to be true when using swim baits. The small bait catches smaller ones faster. It can be a confidence builder on those slow bite days.
