Jig Tricks For Fall Bass Fishing! (Beginner To Advanced

The jig bite is amazing in the Fall! We constantly rely on the jig to get BIG bites. The key is understanding where bass are positioning and which jig styles to throw. Today Matt is giving you the keys to Fall jig fishing whether you're fishing a clear finesse fishery, a shallow grassy lake, or anywhere in between. 

Understanding how fish are positioning in the Fall is half the battle. Pay attention to Matt's tips on WHERE he throws each style of jig as much as why he's throwing it. Getting bit on the jig is easy, once you're around the right fish. After that its all about jig selection. The right jig for a highland reservoir is completely different than the right jig for a Southern fishery. 

Below you'll find links to the exact jigs, trailers and gear discussed in the video. We've included Matt's favorite sizes and colors as well. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Jig Fishing Tricks You Need When Its HOT!

Want to catch bigger fish this Summer? Here are 4 tricks you can try to catch more fish on jigs. Whether you have crystal clear water, muddy water, or somewhere in between, there is a trick here that will help you catch bigger bass this Summer!

If you lean toward finesse fishing, pay close attention to the first two tips. Downsizing to a micro or finesse jig will get you quality bites on a clear water fishery. If you like to power fish and haven't tried stroking a jig, its time to experience some of the most brutal strikes you'll ever get on a jig. If you like flipping and punching, don't forget to try the jig to upsize your catch and increase your hookup ratio. 

Below you'll find links to the exact jigs, trailers, and equipment Matt discussed in the video. We've also included our favorite colors for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Swinging Jigs For Summer Bass! (Everything You Need To Know)

This is the EASIEST way to catch BIGGER bass as we transition into Summer! The Swing head jig has been forgotten by most anglers but its still catching big fish! This technique is easy to do, won't require new gear, and it will work on your lake. Its time to set your old Summer patterns aside and try something completely different!

The swinging jig is incredibly simple! All you do is pair the free swinging head with your favorite bait, let it hit bottom, and start a moderate retrieve. As you swim it along the bottom the bait will bump along, deflecting off cover, and drawing reaction strikes from the bass. While this technique can be done with swimbaits, worms, and creature baits, our best results have consistently come with creature baits. 

When it comes to baits, there are endless options that can be rigged on these heads. However, we've found very specific baits that consistently get bigger bites. Below you'll find links to those exact baits, as well as the heads and gear we use to fish them. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

The EASIEST Trick To Catch BIGGER Bass Right NOW!

Want to catch bigger bass this year? There is one simple change you can make with your baits that will immediately increase the size of fish you catch! You don't have to fish different places or different times of day. Its easy!

The Shaky Head worm catches a ton of bass in Spring and Summer! If you've ever tried one you know exactly what we're talking about. However, the finesse jig is more likely to catch a bigger bass overall than the shaky head. If you want to start upsizing your catch without changing your routine, its as easy as cutting off the worm and tying on the jig. 

Below you'll find links to the exact shaky heads, jigs, and jig trailers we use during the Spring and Summer. We've also included some of our favorite rod and reel combos for jig fishing. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
