How to Fish Micro Jigs For Trout

Спорт

In todays trout fishing video I'm going over how to catch trout using micro jigs and inch worms. Micro jigs are an extremely useful but sometimes underutilized bait. The micro jig is extremely small, approximately half the size of a normal mini or tube jig. They have proven to be very useful at those times when the trout are very shy to bite.

    Smoke color 2" tube jig on 1/16th Jig head. The reason this works so well is that all water has leaches and that's what this resembles. Been catching big fish with these for 40 years.

    Great video. What are the benefits of using the braid to fluoro compare to a straight 2lb or 4lb Izorline? I noticed that this is becoming a trend. Thanks!

  • @SeaSpankerOutdoors

    @SeaSpankerOutdoors

    Жыл бұрын

    For me the 4-5lb braid is better as the break strength is much higher than the 2lb and cast just as well. The downside to using braid is that you have to use a fluoro leader and thats just another knot and potential weak point in your set up. With the 2lb you dont need to worry about a leader but the break strength is significantly less.

  • @SeaSpankerOutdoors

    Жыл бұрын

    The fish turning away is not necessarily a line issue. Trout can get real shy in clear water. Lots of times if you can see them they can see you. I usually try different colors and presentation speeds trying to get them to bite. Usually more natural colors work in those situations. I exclusively use Golden State Fishing mini jigs. Very good quality 🤘

    Question for your mini jigging trout rod set up, do you spool your spinning reel with braid and attach a fluorocarbon leader? Or do you prefer using something like XXX Izerline 4LB as your main line straight through the entire spinning reel? I have one set up with straight 4LB Izer line and I’m trying something new with the braid (main line) and fluorocarbon leader. I have found that it just takes a little more work seeing as you have to use a double uni knot to attach a fluorocarbon leader to your braid and then attach your mini jig. As long ad you have a good knot it works well until the line snaps haha! What are your thoughts and preferences? Thank you!

  • @SeaSpankerOutdoors

    @SeaSpankerOutdoors

    Yup thats what I do. I use Phenix iron feather braid in either 4 or 5lb and then attach a RUNCL 5lb fluoro leader with a double UNI knot. I know alot of guys that use the 2lb izorline straight and love it. 4lb may be too thick to get a real good cast with a 1/32 jig but im sure some guys do it with no problem im just not one of those guys haha

    It can work but its a bit big. Ideally you would want a 500 or 1000 series reel with a gear ratio as close to 5:1 as you can find. Most US reels in 1000 size are 6:1 which is fine just as long as you retrieve extra slow

The boots run about $200-250 but when your on your feet all day fishing it is a huge benefit to have quality boots. The 8 fans waders are around $100 and are excellent quality for the price. Before the Korker boots I used Frog Togg neoprene boots and they are about $30. They will get the job done but nowhere near as comfortable

    No weight at all except for the small weight in the tube jig. A small weight on the line up from the jig would affect the action of the jig.
