BUYER'S GUIDE: Jigs And Jig Trailers (Finesse, Football, Flipping, Swim Jig)

In today's Buyers guide we're breaking down jig fishing! The best flipping jigs, football jigs, micro jigs, and more from every category. We're also covering our favorite jig trailers for each, as well as the rods we rely on to throw the various jig styles. Let's go!

Jig fishing is a huge category but is actually very simple to narrow down. Most anglers don't need every style of jig. Typically one or two jig styles will cover all the situations on your local fisheries. Once you've chosen those, there will be several viable trailer options and a few key colors. 

Below you'll find links to the exact jigs and trailers in the order we discussed them in the video. We've included our personal favorites sizes and colors for each category, as well as the rods we use to fish them.

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.
