Summer jig fishing is a great way to catch big bass! In today's video Matt starts off by simplifying jig fishing for the angler that just wants to build confidence in the technique. He goes on to break down 3 unique situations where fishing a jig will catch bigger bass than other techniques. Don't overlook the jig this Summer!
Jig fishing is one of those techniques you can dive as deep into as you want. It can be as simple as a single jig in a great color that you use effectively throughout the year or it can be taken to a whole different level. It can also be taken to the max with different styles, colors, and retrieves. In today's video Matt explains how to use a jig effectively in heavy cover, around grass, as well as on your lightest Bait Finesse combo.
Below is a breakdown of the baits, trailers, and colors Matt discussed in the video. He also included his favorite rod and reel combos for the different situations. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Shocked you diddnt mention the keitech casting jig when talking about compact jigs. That’s one of my favorite. Tungsten head so the profile is smaller than other baits of the same weight; wire tied skirt so they never fall off. Skinny bait keeper that doesn’t shred your plastic and a skirt material and consistency unlike any others ive used

Good stuff, great tutorial. More people need to have confidence in the jig. I know so many fishermen who don't even fish it. Local club members who fish tournaments but don't fish a jig. No faith! My PB a 11lbs 12 oz largemouth came on a Stanley 5/16th jig with a pork craw trailer back in the 1990s. It's been catching bass for many decades. Thanks for all you guys do via this channel.

Always good stuff. One of these days I will get confidence in a jig. I have tried them and caught fish on them and yes bigger fish than my normal size bass but it just seems like I can rarely get on fish with a jig. I feel like I have to make myself fish a jig. Someday hopefully soon that will change. Thank you for all you do.

Awesome video! I'm breaking out all those jigs I bought last year when I started fishing but never really knew how to use. I bought several 1/4 ounce SK mini flipping jigs. What jig would you recommend for a bank fishing pond guy who fishes around a lot of primrose? Punching a structure jig while throwing along the weed line and hopping one back in?

@martinmilton2880 2 месяца назад

I love the California swim jig. I fish it at Lake Seminole and have lost big fish due to my rod fishing in the extra heavy grass that is there. Every time I fish the CSJ there I loose a big fish there. I know your two favorite rods but I would like to know which rod would you use in that XXXXXX heavy cover. Thanks,

@Topwaterteej 2 месяца назад

Great video Matt! I’ve already got a flipping stick , but recently I’ve been thinking about getting a dedicated jig rod. I’ve dialled it down to two rods. Would love your opinion. I’m a St. Croix guy, love the victory line of rods. Think it’s hard to beat for the price point. I primarily fish out of a kayak, but get out on my buddies boats quite often. The two that I’m thinking about are, VTC73HXF VTC75MHF Thanks.

@FirstClassPirate 2 месяца назад

I think the lighter weights are the way to go from the bank because you're fishing uphill. At least thats what works for me on other lures.

@Tylerbone96 2 месяца назад

Been on a real good jig bite lately, been great! Question for you Matt, I’m a shorter guy, would you say that Expride 7’6” XH would be a good flipping stick too? The 7’11” is just a lot of rod for me personally lol

@tacticalbassin 2 месяца назад

The 7'6" is no joke! Yes, it's an absolute brute of a rod. If the 7'11" is a sledgehammer, the 7'6" is a Jackhammer!

@Silkaire 2 месяца назад

I know this is completely off topic, but I’ve got an issue that I’m trying to resolve so I’ll leave this comment and if anyone is able to help I would really appreciate it. I’ve been recently using a standard rod with a standard spinning reel. Every time I cast my line gets a knot usually it the shape of a circle on the reel. I can’t figure out how to fix it so I was wondering if I should just get a dedicated load out focused on casting and leave that rod for simple worm fishing off a dock or if I should attempt to fix it and save money. Any help would be HEAVILY appreciated 🙏
