How I Tie a Jig and Teaser Rig For Pompano Fishing
Спорт
This is an up close tutorial on how I rig Goofy Jigs and Teaser Flies for catching Pompano. There are many different ways that people attach these lures when fishing near bridges, jetties or from shore along beaches. I have experimented with rigging several different ways and have narrowed my preferred method down to the one demonstrated in this video.
Here's How I Tie This Rig
1. I use braid for the main line with a 20 to 30 lb. mono leader that averages about 6' in length
2. Slide the quill or teaser fly on the line about 14-16"
3. Double the line over, pinch both pieces at about 5" and create a loop. Then pass the fly through that loop three times. This is called a Surgeon's Knot. When finished tying on the quill, you want the dropper loop to be about 1-1/2 to 2" long
4. Slide the silly jig on the line and tie an improved clinch knot to secure it about 6-10" away for the fly
There are several different variations of this rig that people use. I encourage you to mix things up until you find the rigging method that works for catching Pompano in the location you are fishing.
What Size Jig Should I Use?
The weight of the goofy jig is going to depend upon how swift the current is. The idea when fishing this double rig for Pompano is to bounce the jig along the bottom. If the current is barely moving I like to use a 3/8 ounce lure, medium speed 1/2 ounce, fast 3/4 and extra strong 1 ounce.
What Colors Work Best For Pompano?
In my experience they tend to hit yellow, pink, white and green combinations.

Remember folks, the guy who says, "I'm not an expert pompano fisherman" is likely more of an expert than a lot of the guys who claim to be. Proof is in the pudding! ✌️JC, Thank you for all the knowledge, brother!
Love that Pompano fishing! I HAVE NEVER caught a Pompano on a jig! After watching this, I feel confident I can!

I have developed a love hate relationship with Pompano fishing. Catching them on jigs is fun for sure. I've never caught one in the surf, but it seems like there's not much of a fight with those really long surf rods. Thanks for watching.
Great how to brother...

I've been a subscriber for a while and love the content, this video especially because of the time taken to show the set up and the multiple terms for the knot. Thanks
Great vid👍🏻. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Going to try this on Monday
Great video. Thank you.
love it - thanks!
JC, you're the best. thank you so much.
I add another teaser to the jig, and use a loop knot, been catching pomp’s with it for the last 15 years . Was shown this set up by “Silly Willy” he used shrimp spray on his. Even caught small snook, cobra and tarpon with it. Vertical jigging
Again, another great educational video. That blue background works really well with the line and jigs you were using (easy on the eyes). Keep up the great work!

Watching your JC Pompano fishing rig over and over, I tied it. Took it apart, tied it again. I use a 7'9" Loomis with a Fin No spinning reel # 20. You're JC Pompano rig work just fine. That what my Brother in Miami call this Pompano rig's, he's fishing Flamingo this morning, I am stuck in Zephyrhills. Hey thanks Brother, let you be. Hit the Blue Dog, if you get in that neighborhood, great kayak fishing there. Good fishing, stay safe out there Captain.
Thanks for sharing. Will be on a boat n the bay tomorrow. Hope to be pulling those pompanos.

I tie an extra long loop knot, about 2-3 inches, the teaser slides up and down the loop as you jig it and it makes a little extra action. I use the Perfection Loop, since it’s fast and easy to tie. You catch a lot of different stuff with this jig..pompano, whiting, speckled trout, snook, flounder, Spanish mackerel, blue runners, ladyfish, grunts, catfish, bluefish, Jack crevalle whatever is around will hit it.

Great rig and video!! Try a silver or gold spoon with a piece of bacon on the hooks just long enough to flicker behind the spoon.
Thank you for this video. Very easy instructions & simple to make. Have you or know of anyone who ever tried this pompano jig in the surf/piers of NC, SC and VA with success? I use 6.5-7 ft spinning rods for lures.

Great how- to JC 👍🏼
That's exactly how I would be setting up a fluke rig but instead I be using two teasers 12 inch apart end 5 ounce Bucktail at the bottom and like you said with the current it could be a 2-ounce 3 oz up to 5 oz at and depending on how deep the water is
I am new to pompano jigs. I have caught many pompano over the years in the surf and piers with the standard 2-hook float rigs. But after watching several of your videos on pompano jigs, I wanted to try something new because I love using lures. I bought this week set of 6 banana jigs & multiple teasers. I will be tying the multiple combos you suggested & use them on piers & jetties in VA/NC. I want to try them on multiple trips & let you know later if I had any success--pompano, mackerel, blue, red drum, whiting, etc. I am really excited about using this jig. Can you do a video fishing off a pier with these jigs? Thanks again. See ya!!

Thanks for watching and asking. I purchase whatever the tackle stores are supplying. I've been getting them at Dicks, Walmart and from a couple of local shops. TA Jigs online is a great source for the jigs.
What are the 5 best color patterns you have the most luck with, JC? Do the single solid colors work better or the combination colors? If the latter, which combo colors you prefered? I want to know because I'm going to buy me some right now! Thanks ahead for your help!

Thanks JC for the response! I live in Maryland and I'm heading for Virginia Beach on July 5 to do some fishing. Saw a kid caught a pompano that was probably 13" last year and I caught a ton of baby pompano in my crab traps last year! That place looks like it's stacked with pompano!
The thing like about this is that, the jegg is doing over time also as a weight
Hi jc how do you change out colors or weights with this rig thanks 🐟

With Pompano it seems to be about equal. With fish in general, the teaser gets the majority of catches.
