Same here. I’m literally the only angler in my family. Working on getting my daughter more interested. She caught her first bass a week ago so she’s well in her way

Rod, reel and a jig. Left all my other lures at home. Fished that jig all day and caught my PB 6.3lbs bass. It was painful, but well worth. Keep throwing the jig and you will love the results.

This video here is the reason why a football is my go to also the reason why I’ve improved so much as an angler. Thank you! ❤️

Gene, you really do so much for the bass fishing community. No gimmicks, no selling, no click bait, just passion for fishing and teaching. You, Glenn may, and the Travian bassin guys are the only ones I can watch (very occasionally Tyler Reels). But I've learned more technique specific stuff from you. Anytime i need to know how to do something i just Google it , ie. "How to tie a fg knot flukemaster". You can tell when someone truly loves teaching, that's why I sick to my main 3 channels. You should do a video with the tactical bassin guys, i belive they do stuff for/ with tackle wharehouse.

Gotta love a good jig fishing video! Thanks for sharing Gene! I basically learned to fish from your videos when I first started about 8 or 9 years ago. Thanks for all you do and keep inspiring people to get outside and fish 🎣

You got me excited to work on my jig game.

I always watch my line on the jig's initial fall after splash down. I am ready to set the hook at the slightest line twitch. I have caught several nice bass this way. You can miss these bites if not paying attention. When you cast to "bassy" looking areas such as structure, drop offs, holes, and ledges, this can happen fairly often.

I appreciate how you really went into explaining the retrieve. So many videos talk about which bait to use and when, but fail to talk about how to work the bait. Thanks.

Wow! I never dreamed that one of my favorite bass fishing KZreadrs would made a video for me personally! 🤣

Learned a lot. I’ve always wanted to fish a jig because I’ve heard what the results can be. Thank you for the down to earth no BS lesson. Subscribed.

Best and most informative jig fishing video I have seen. Thank you.

Dude your videos are so full of gold. I'll be watching a video on the best bait to use in August and I get a whole lesson of how bass act every hour of the day. Your videos are like fishing university!

I fish a jig daily, football in Rocky situations and swim jig on most others. I cut the skirt at the back of the hook, the skirt at the front I pull forward and cut it 1/8" in front of line tie. I always trim my guard like Gene did, if it's too stiff I'll pull 1-2 bristles until it's to my liking. Cast out and hold on, the jig always works every time.

I just cut or pull out most of my weed guards. If you’re trimming them that much, they’re pretty useless…might as well just cut them.

Probably the best basic jig tutorial out there. Thank you sir

Came out at the perfect time, been practicing my jig fishing lately!

This is explained so well. I'm new to bass fishing and this is just what I need. Thanks. Subscribed.

Really excellent video. Well explained with great talking points. Just bought my first equipment for this type of fishing, and you've given me some great ideas on how to get started. Thanks.

I have to give you a big thank you! watched the video last night, caught my first bass on a jig this morning!!!

I love jig fishing! Caught some of my biggest on blue and black. One of my favorite go-to's, that blue and black strike king will always be in my bag! Slow and low!

This is the first one of your videos I've seen and I love the content and how you explain everything. I'm now a subscriber so thank you for the great tips?

Gene thanks for this video. A jig has always been my confidence lure, but lately I’ve been struggling with it. You just made me want to throw this again. Time to catch some fish!

Great tutorial. Kept it super simple for a beginner from the jogs to the colors of trailers. Keep up the great work.

Your tip videos are great. Thanks for the time n effort you put into em. Love from south FL 🎣

I absolutely love jig fishin thanks for those great tips

Great tips! Fished with jigs and minnows in Canada many times. I've occasionally fished for bass since 1967. Got into kayak bass fishing full time in 2019. I have learned a lot of new techniques from you, Chad, other KZreadrs and the local community. Keep up the informative content.

Thanks for the advice and tutorial, I definitely need to commit to it to learn it!

Thank you for the teaching. Dragging the jig at the bottom is wat i was not doing so thank you .

Jigs are the way to go! Great tips and your fish finder install was a hug help in the other videos.

Oh wow thanks. I’ve learned so much from your videos already I can’t wait to try this

Best how to with jigs I’ve watched Thanks Brother

Wow, very good advice! Very helpful for a beginner like me!!

Great video. I’m new to fishing,I’m really glad I found your channel. It’s got tons of knowledge and content. I’ll be watching more of your videos and I will definitely be subscribing to your channel. Thanks for the great info.

About three years ago I started looking for tips to help graduate from a guy that fishes, to a fisherman. I've fished my whole life, but it's dumbfounding how much I didn't know. Simple things like the difference between tips of line and when to use them and different rod actions. I upgraded my Zebco 303s and Walmart specials to Lews and Abu Garcia combos, and started trying to figure out how to use things other than crank baits. So far, this is the best video I've found on jigs. I got a few bass on his last year, but this simple shot video taught me A LOT about how I was using them wrong. Thanks!!! Now I'm just waiting for the ice to melt so I can put away my ice fishing gear and start FISHING again!!!!

Thank you for the advice. Ready for this weekend my boy and I will be on the water with jigs excited Thank you

Wonderful jig video, thank you!

Great information! Thanks for sharing! Been throwing a jig some on and off ( more off) couple years committed more time to the jig and caught my first one this year ! Small but definitely love the jig bite

Great video. Learned so much in just a few minutes.

Fluke Master, such great advice, new to jig fishing here so I’ll be testing out your guidance.

very informative and easy to understand thankyou!!

Dude!!! I have been waiting on this!!!!!!!!!!!! I just starting buy jogs and trailers to start fishing deep here on Hartwell. Been doing tons of research but trust your knowledge!! Thanks Gene!

Love my Fate black rods!

This is excellent info and great presentation!

As a 30 year jig fisherman that was a very good tutorial good job.

Thanks. Really appreciate the tips.

Awsome advice thanks‼

I am 26 and have never fished a jig until this year…. I caught my PB within the first 3 months just fishing a jig strictly! Absolutely love it

"Ah, you think Jig Fishing is your allie. You merely adopted the Jig. I was born in it. Molded it by it..."

Great video buddy. I love jig fishing catch most of my fish with jigs

Yes’ been waiting for this since Friday night live

I needed this in my life!

By far this is my favorite type of fishing, i could do it all day.

Thank you Sir....excellent vid, learned a few new things !!

My first jig use of 30 years came this summer. I slayed it on the river. 7 smallmouth. It was great

Can’t beat some good ole jig bite!

Started bass fishing with a jig a couple years ago and I won’t fish with much of anything else. The jig is king!

Thanks for your vids. I'm fairly new to fishing. Put a jig on the line and from a low walk bridge stuck it in the water to see what it looked like and WHAM, caught a little 12" bucket mouth as soon as the lure got wet. The coolest thing ever! That was three or four months ago and, although I've lost a few lures, I never caught anything with a jig since. I'll try you technique and see what happens. Thanks pal.

Started jig fishing this year and now I honestly use it more than anything else I’ve ever used

Thanks for sharing

The jig was always tough for me and sometimes still is. However, it is my favorite way to catch them! I mainly flip with them

Fishing is the world's best activity.

Awesome video Gene! 👍👊

Jigs are my confidence bait everyday. Nothing beats a jig for me.

Good advice. I'm definitely going to put it to work and see how I do. I always struggle with a jig but I have caught a lot on the bitsy bug jig but it's way smaller. I have the same struggles with a chatterbait. I still have not caught a fish or had a bite on one. I think it's just a confidence thing and I know I'm usually in a good spot because I usually switch to a crankbait and just hammer them.

jig & Tx Rsenko my 2 favs!!!

My go to jig is actually a swim jig in minnow color made by strike king. It works in Every lake, pond, or river I fished. It just works. Black and blue works most of the the time but only in some lakes from my own experience in the Midwest.

Great info thank you

I have got to start working on jigs- never been worth crap with them. I've only gotten on a jig bite one time- dragging 3/8th up shallow on Pickwick- it was a blast.

Thank you mister the fluke master I suck at fishing and this will help

Great video

Well done thanks

Good video. I need to leave the other gear home & just take some jigs to really practice. Thanks.

Great Video! Would you recommend using braided line? I use typically 40lb braid with 15-20 lb fluoro leader

Thanks Gene. Great video topic for me. I hope to catch my 1st jig bass soon. As a bank angler, is there anything different you would tell me in jig fishing? Such as how i work the jig since I am working the jig up the bank, etc. Thank you.

Great video!

Caught my first on a jig today on my way home from work. After watching your fall transition bait video i got a smaller jig and trailer and boom!

Good stuff brother!

Love watching your videos and trying to learn some of the ins and outs of different styles but I think it would be helpful if you would tell us what a actual fight would feel like or what tells you to real down to be able to set the hook.

I've caught so many fish on these!! I fish reservoirs, don't know if that counts lol but I do pretty good with these 2 baits. Thanks for the tips you made me decide to try them

Thanks

Waiting on the advanced jig video!

Great tip thanks just starting learning to fish the jig question for you if the area your fishing is extremely weedy do you just look for the pockets to fish or try and work the weed line I’m fishing from a kayak

i like jigs when i flip to cover in the summer .they help punch the bait thru the pads and a little faster drop. if it's cold i will just flip unweighted baits to slow the presentation

This is the most thorough and detailed explanation on how to fish a jig. Great job sir.

@@Flukemaster I know but there's not alot of info on a jig bite anywhere.. it frustrated me when I first started because I was waiting for that thump of a bite. And im sure u know that for beginners they can miss alot of opportunities on good fish because they don't know that the weightless feeling or that heavy feeling or that sponge mushy feeling is actually a fish. I think that would be a great video idea for your channel. And yeah the flipping bite is completely the opposite because u know when they slam it lol. U been putting out alot of good content Gene keep it up buddy!! And my buddies son been watching your how-tos and caught his PB recently because of ur info.. keep the content coming brother

Thanks, I learned a lot and saw where I’m not using jigs properly.

Jig is my go too bait

I like that hat

great video gene, but I am confused as to what it is going to feel like when you have a fish on?
