UNDERWATER FOOTAGE OF FINESSE JIGS + BEST JIG TRAILERS!

Come underwater and watch how different baits respond to movement underwater! We throw a ton of compact micro jigs so today we're comparing the best jigs and jig trailers that we've found. Come below the surface into crystal clear water and see if you can find a favorite jig and trailer to help you catch more fish this year!

Downsizing your presentations to get more bites has been the theme for anglers across the country the last few years. As a result, micro jigs continue to gain popularity. Finding the right jig is tough, and understanding when to use different trailers is a whole other issue. Check out how unique each of these jig and trailer combos really are. We hope that a few minutes of underwater footage will help you choose the best choices for your fisheries, as you get a clear look at profile, realism, and movement in a real world setting.

Below you'll find links to the jigs and trailers. We've included our favorite sizes and colors for each, as well as some of our favorite rods (at different price points) for fishing micro jigs. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

How To Catch Bass With Plastic Worms! **Underwater Footage Of Dropshot, Ned Rig, And Texas Rigs**

Do you want to catch bass? Come underwater with us! Let's study bass behavior and learn about different lures at the same time! Watch how bass react to a dropshot, ned rig, and Texas rig, as well as how the baits behave with different rigging. These are the details you need to know to catch more fish!

We learn a ton about bass behavior when we go underwater, but we also learn about the lures we're using. Pay close attention to Matt's tips on bait rigging, jig head weight, and lure selection. Also, you'll notice in the underwater shots that no two baits are created equal so focus your attention on baits with neutral buoyancy and consistent action.

Below you'll find links to some of our favorite baits from each category. We've included our best colors, as well as our preferred rigging components. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Underwater Footage Of Bass Attacking Lures! ( Crystal Clear Water! )

Come underwater and watch how bass interact with your lures! From what triggers a bite, to when you should set the hook, there is so much to be learned by looking below the surface. Some of these fish are stalking their prey, others are defensive, and others are reacting to movement. Its amazing what we can learn!

In today's footage Tim is interacting with bass in different phases with different presentations. Between a Texas Rig, a jig, and a ned rig, its interesting to see how the bites can vary. Some fish inhale the bait while others nip at it repeatedly. At the end of the day the question is, when would you have set the hook? Would you have caught the fish or reeled up a torn up trailer? 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we used in the footage. We've also included some great combos for fishing these presentations. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

How To Catch Bass With Plastic Worms! **INSANE UNDERWATER FOOTAGE**

Want to become a better fisherman? There is no better way than to head underwater and study bass behavior! Come along as Matt teaches how to get the most out of plastic worms while studying footage of actual bass eating a ned rig, dropshot, shaky head, and texas rig!

We learn a ton about bass behavior when we head underwater, but we also learn about the lures we're using. From above, a ned rig doesn't look like much but when it hits the bottom it comes to life, and its obvious bass can't resist them! Did you see any stand out baits in today's video? Perhaps it was the way that Smallie Smasher shakes at even the lightest touch on a dropshot, or the way the shaky head sways on its way to the bottom. 

Below you'll find links to some of our favorite baits from each category. We've included our best colors and rigging components for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
