Years ago, I had no confidence in a Jig. Then I realized that it was because I rarely used one. I made myself throw one often and taught myself how to become effective with it. Now, I would never fish without one tied on. It is the Bait that catches my biggest fish PERIOD..!

@@toddlester8063 that’s what I did when I started throwing a jig just anywhere I’d throw a Texas rig I started throwing a jig. I would consider throwing a black blue they will always hit that no matter time of year or day they just hit a black and blue. I started out throwing a 3/8 but now all I throw is a 1/2 unless I’m fishing 25+ then I’ll go to a 3/4 or a 1 ounce

As always good solid to the point info with no fluff. Appreciate your vids, keep up the great work.

I really like the detail that you go into in selecting jigs, jig fishing is an area I need to improve in my fishing.

I just barely started fishing recently and subscribed to your channel as I have found it to be one of the most informative channels on KZread. Today I went and tied on a Jig, followed your advice and landed my PB!! Granted it was still small but it sure beat all those tiny little ones I have been reeling in on a Texas Rig. Thanks for all the great videos and keep up the fantastic work!!

Lots of techniques I still need to learn. Jigs is definitely one of them. Solid video brother. Thanks for the advice.

Great tips Tyler! I’m catching a lot of quality fish on a black and blue swim jig.

Let me be the first to point out your dock skipping mistake. First, never skip in under the dock. Always land your lure on the dock. Drag it off where the line get hopelessly tangled leaving your lure right at water level.Biggest bass in the state grabs it, turns, slaps his tail at you & is gone along with your 7 buck jig. Thats how its done ! Go home & lie to your buddies. Thanks for the show Best on KZread Pauley

Thanks for the tips.

It’s crazy I just caught like 10 bass in a cow pond on a black and blue swim jig yesterday and now I’m watching this video. Great timing!

Your tips are usually solid man, you've put me on to some game for sure, thx again sir 👍

Great tips Nathan. I've only caught one bass on a regular jig... and that one was a snag off a bedding fish. 😮 I'm going to put more work in with jigs this summer.

Very good thanks again

Thanks so much for all you do!

Jigs for life! Great stuff as always man!

Great tips for jig fishing. I need to throw them more to build my confidence up with them. Awesome vid as always👍👍

Awesome info bro!!😎

Great advice thanks.

Thanks for teaching me!

Yo Ty, thank you so much for your skipping vid. I just went out in the back yard and followed your advice. made tree try's. First cast a fail. cast two, nice skip. Cast tree, real nice long skip and a three lber. Thanks again . Love the on the water lessons.

Nice, thanks!

Very good information! I'm a newbie so I'm also a bit one dimensional. I caught my first offshore bass on a hump using a green pumpkin 1/2 oz football jig. It was so incredibly different that it became my favorite way to fish everywhere! Wrong choice but that's what happened. I did catch a few more bass over time but eventually I got burned out and almost gave up. Lol Trying a few new things now. Thanks for sharing!

Another great vid brother!! just found your channel and love it!!

Awesome video very informative. Thanks to this video I am definitely going to do more jig fishing. Just subscribed. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for the good content, and for not having a 45 second channel intro on every video. Good stuff!

Fishing all my life. Started bass fishing 15 years ago. Every year I pick one or 2 techniques , learn to use it, and have confidence with it.

This video was so good I had to watch it twice!!

I always now have a flipping jig and a Texas rig tied on, always have had luck with both

If you don't feel confidence in a jig because you haven't much experience in one yet..do like i did and take nothing but jigs with you and fish them all day. Now I make my own, pour and paint and skirts as well. I love jigs now.

Great tips n tricks

Have you done a video on what your jigs look like and how to mount them along with trailers? What some of your favorites are? This would be helpful for us really new fishermen. Seeing all these great fish being hauled in is nice but I keep trying to see the jig itself. I would appreciate it and pretty sure others would like that too. Thanks in advance. Great tips too.

I started bass fishing when I turned 15. And at 59, I can honestly tell you I have absolutely no confidence is a blue n black jig. I've fished the in various weight and trailers, but give me ANY other color, I bank on them. Even on a pink skirted jig, with a white, chartreuse or orange trailer! I found that green pumpkin with Purple or a PnJ are the 2 jig colors I've mainly catch my bass. Now I have had luck on true blue and purple combination. In the spring, green pumpkin with orange on the skirt or trailer seems to be a winner for me. Last year, my mind was blown. I couldn't catch a bass on a jig. NONE, zip, nada, zero! Temp was in the mid 40s to upper 50s and the only thing I could catch bass on, was the Fire craw color chatterbait! Like you said, some times bass are hard to figure out. Having a variety of baits can help you hit pay diet, so do speak.

Wow. No kickers!!!! We had the opposite problem Friday night 8.59 kicker and two 2 pounders. Could not fill the limit. If you don’t have a strong spiritual backbone, this sport is more humbling than golf!!!!! Still……great memories no one can take from you. Thanks for sharing Greg. That was great.

great info

A blue and black Strike King Mini-Bite with a black and blue swim tail is by far my most effective lure and my go to for any type of water. Its $2.99 at Academy. I caught a 7.3 pounder last weekend.

I am a big jig person. I was frustrated when I first started using a jig many years ago. Now all these years later(maybe 20+years) I love a jig and always have one tied on. I really keep it simple which is probably holding me back a bit but I have caught a ton of nice fish on that one simple setup. Blk/blu is my go to jig and seems to catch fish everywhere. Recently though I have been trying some different things as far as trailer.

Thank you so much, this is my first time on your page. I would like to learn more on jig fishing and what to use. Can you show me the difference on the weight and jig and what time of season to finish for bass . Dont have a boat. I know it will be some what hard to get a good feel on bass fishing from the bank.

Extremely informative channel. Never been one to throw a jig, but with the pressured waters I fish here in Florida, think I’ll give it a go. Oh, and subbed.

Love to see more about how to work a jig, especially if fishing from shore in a very weedy lake or pond. This was helpful though!

I fish a lot of shallow sloppy water. I use whatever cheap arkie style heads. Currently using the terminator jigs they sell at my local Dick's. Pair a 1/4 oz jig with a 4.3 keitech or a Reaction innovations skinny dipper to save some $, and you can swim it slowly in a couple feet of water without getting into the dreaded string algae that covers the bottom of most places I fish. I like blugill and perch immitaters so a green pumpkin jig with emerald shiner from keitech looks pretty good or the sungill coloured skinny dipper from Reaction Innovations looks great. Most importantly the light jig and bulky trailer give the bait enough lift that you can retrieve it fairly slow, and not have to burn it back in to keep the slop off of it.

I use a jig setup from the bank all the time. On weedy or moss covered shorelines I will just drop it in any open hole in the mat or weeds. I just have a 7ft pole and basically drop the bait through a hole then grab the line after the reel, pull up the jig and drop it in the next hole. I can't tell you how many times i walk up to a lake and people are throwing over the weeds and I just take that jig and drop it down those holes and catch fish. You always have to plan on losing a jig here and there on the bank. Just part of the deal.

Early in the summer when the lilly weren't as thick I would toss a texas rig until the pad got so thick it was annoying to fish them. I started fishing a jig on a ledge out in the middle of the lake and pulling a 6lber out of nowhere in the middle of a lake was the most satisfying feeling ever.

I watched this video again today. Right now I'm having more fun with a 6'6 med heavy w/15 floro and it's a blast! My main jig rod is 7'3 med heavy but feels tiresome and clunky after fishing the short rod. The 7'3 is way better and 4x more expensive with 20lb. floro. I think less is better on this deal. But I don't need to cash checks!

The creek I fish has so much grass,brush, trees jig is the best thing for me not to get snagged up and dragging grass all day, I love them

Hey man, I got my order today from the place you had in your description, tell me, on their swimjigs do they use living rubber in their skirts, loving the wisdom and knowledge in your vids, glad I'm a subscriber.

Still waiting for a Psycho Stick review! The 7’2 medium has me interested

It would be nice if you added a link or gave us some information on where to get our key jigs. I am new to jig fishing and have no idea what an Arty jig looks like I don't even know how to spell it. Excellent video I learned more about jig fishing from your video than any video I have seen

Dang where was this video at the the beginning of the season. As it's my first ever tossing out a jig. Plus need a new challenge. But the one thing I got confused on is? Why are pike going after my jigs all the time. The only bass I got was. When I went through veg and got my first large mouth bass. But ya need those bikes to stay away. Thanks for the awesome explanation.

I am in the process of learning the jig right now

Great information, Ty. I haven't heard those points explained better since I have been watching fishing videos. I can use that information. Thanks! I do have a question. I am fairly new at bass fishing, and because I don't have a boat, I do a lot of bank fishing. My problem with the Jig is that if I think I'm fishing in grass and using the appropriate jig, a log shows up. Do you have any helpful hints for this situation?

When I started Bass fishing, there were no specific designs for swimming, grass or rock or wood.... There were Casting and Flippin Jigs and I caught plenty of fish. Don't make it more complicated than it needs to be. Pick out a Jig with a good quality hook and skirt. Use the best line you can afford and fish it as often as possible. Remember.... when you even think a fish has it, set the hook. Swings are free. None of us realize how fast a Bass can suck in a Jig only to spit it out a nano second later. If your standing there wondering if that was a fish... It's already too late. Yes, there are those fish that will pick it up and swim with it... Nobody misses them but more are missed than we'll ever know.

@@Duschbag good point about setting up if you even suspect a fish grabbed it on the fall. I always watch the line for that twitch when I am hopping it. Soon as you see the line jump reel down on the slack and set up. Only time I ever got back to back 5 lbers was hopping a black/blue jig through a grass flat. Great video Tyler.

Just caught my pb Thursday with a 1/2 oz blue black jig. 5 pounder slammed it.

3/16 to 5/16 is great for bank guys. Get stuck less and fish through cover with less hangups which equals more time fishing!

Trying to maintain bottom contact with a jig that light is a pain in the ass. Sometimes catching fish means losing a few baits- just the way it works. Jigs are cheap and plentiful because they get lost often- they're made to fish in the cover and on rocky bottoms- two great places to get snagged. I just use the best head design I can for whatever I'm fishing, get my fall rate and trailer action tuned in - and then whatever I lose, I lose. If you start adjusting trying not to lose baits you'll adjust yourself right out of a bite.

Tyler, do i HAVE to trim my jig skirt and hook guard? I see many guys say you must trim to catch more bass. I want to start fishing the jigs i bought bit have little confidence in them as i fish weightless texas rigs 90% of the time as we have a LOT of grass in our dams.

@BassFishingHQ

The pond I grew up on had a pretty mucky bottom but it also had edges of grass. First off I would use anything heavier than 3/8oz for a jig cause you don’t want it to get bogged down in the muck. I used to cast to the edge of the weed lines and hop a jig high off the bottom and caught a ton of bass doing that. Dragging it is typically not great because of the muck

Jig mistakes? There are no set rules or laws that you must follow in Bass fishing. Also, jigs catch big fish? Where's the scientific evidence to this claim? The only reason you caught that "Big" fish on the jig was because it just so happened to be the lure tied on to the end of your line at the time.
