BUYER'S GUIDE: JIGS AND JIG TRAILERS!

Today's Buyer's guide is all about jig fishing! These are the best swim jigs, flipping jigs, football jigs and micro jigs we can find! We're covering jigs by application and looking at how head shapes and hook sizes impact the baits. We're also covering our favorite jig trailers for each jig style, as well as the rods we rely on to throw the various jigs.

Jig fishing is a staple bass fishing technique. If you're not comfortable catching bass with jigs you still have room to grow as an angler. Luckily, the technique is actually quite simple and we can narrow it down for you with this guide. You don't need every jigs style. Typically one or two jigs will cover all the situations you'll face on your lake. Once you've chosen those, there will be several viable trailer options, a few key colors, and you're done!

Below you'll find links to the exact jigs and trailers in the order we discussed them in the video. We've included our favorites sizes and colors for each category, as well as the rods we use to fish them. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Jig Fishing For Fall Bass - Everything You Need To Know!

If you're not comfortable fishing a jig, this video is for you! The jig bite can be amazing in the Fall! We rely on it to get BIG bites when other baits don't. The key is understanding where bass are positioning and which jig styles to throw. Today Tim 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 Tim'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 it's all about jig selection and color. 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 Tim'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.
