If you are new to using a jig, buy arkie style jig head first. They can be used in almost all applications. Then branch out from there with more specific types, I.e. football jigs, swim jigs, ball headed jigs. Another great video Debo!

Short skirts and "Cuttin' the Jig", now your talking my language Debo! Thanks for the tips!

I was one of the rare few who started bass fishing with jigs. Never tried plastic worms until a year after that. I still love the humble jig more than any worm or hard bait I own. They are just so versatile. Great video, good information

Love throwing jigs. Swimming jigs, football jigs. That War Eagle finesse jig is my favorite. And we all know Randizzle loves it too. Thanks for the video Debo!

I remember a few years ago being a new bass/musky angler(trolled for walleye my whole life) and I thought skirted jigs were crap, never caught shit . Then I learned to put a trailer on them. Life changing.

Another tip? As one threads on the plastic trailer, just before sliding it over the 'keeper', twist the trailer/plastics a quarter turn left or right (or half turn...just experiment) then while it's twisted, slide the trailer up over the keeper and once slid up all the way, twist the trailer into position. This helps keep your trailer on longer since there isn't a direct straight groove backwards down to the hook. One can also add a drop of gel super glue to the backside of the jig head or the bait keeper.

As someone just getting into bass fishing (caught my first bass today, on a chatterbait) this kind of info is awesome, great professional video, quality, and info, you deserve more subs.

Weed guard tuning was the biggest progression to mastering the swimjig for me. great video

I mostly fish jigs, so this is really helpful. It's a total confidence bait for me cuz it's so versitile.

One thing I found with feeshin a jig in comparison to a Texas rig for instance... slowwwww. Drag, hop, double hop hop... try to feel and pay attention especially when coming in contact with lay downs and brush. Bump the head of the jig on the limbs and logs softly until you get the feel for it. Dangle it over this kind of cover, don’t try to snatch it out. Will save you money and boost confidence. 👍🏼 thanks Debo!

Another great vid Debo! I started out bass fishing like 5-6 years ago and had no freakin clue what to do with a jig. A couple of summers ago I decided to tie one on for every outing and soon realized what I was missing out on! I catch bigger and more fish on a jig than anything else now! Patience, with some trial and error helps a lot.

Nothing's stronger than love, except a Palomar knot. Cool vid Debo.👍

Debo’s Great tip on how to modify the soft plastic once on the jig. I am a jig and shaky head addict yet I have never heard this one. So simple yet effective, thank you.

I caught my PB yesterday after tying a jig on and pitching it into grass while walking back to the car. Saved me from getting skunked!

Nobody explains this stuff as well as you man and the close ups are appreciated! Next let's see how to match trailers to jigs. Colors, styles, etc.

Just starting to gain some confidence with jigs. Caught my first couple fish ever on a small finesse jig a couple weeks ago. So these tips come at the perfect time for me! As always, love the channel and content. Great teaching. Thanks Debo!!

I do most of those. I also trim the skirt different lengths all throughout. I do the same with spinnerbaits and buzzbaits. It helps the skirt to puff out. Great video as always ✊🏻

Dude! Learned so much! I think the only thing I already do is tie a Palomar knot 😂 really appreciate the tips and plan on spreading the word as I hook up with more fish utilizing them.

Absolutely DEBO!! Another great video bro 🙌🏽👍🏽👍🏽 This DEBROSKI absolutely cannot leave me house without some kind of jig tied on. I actually make my own jigs from 1/124 oz all the way up to 1oz jigs.

The only thing I do additionally is Im a big fan of scent. Either JJ's or Bang. Some guys do scent some guys not much. I happen to think it helps in helping mask the "human smell" from our hands. It's a confidence thing I guess. Thanks for the vid.

I am so grateful for this video I have a bunch of new knowledge.

I’ve never tried using a Jig but now I’m definitely going to.

literlly just got off the lake and saw this. Only bite I got today was on a 3/4oz jig dragging bottom. cool vid!

Been throwing jigs like crazy this year (2020) & I love em! Haven't tried messing with the skirt though. Might have to try that.

Is their anything you can't do damn give this man a spot on outdoor channel

GREAT tips never fished a jig but going to try it out

Brilliant detailed instructions...best bass channel on youtube...thanks Debo

Like the break down of the jig and tips thanks Debo

I love this video. I modified every jig I use. I recently began using more finesse jigs. I also found a StrikeKing creature bait like a river beaver and I found that when fish are being finiky I can insert a 2 or 3mm glass rattle with brass beads. Talk about an attention getter!!! Shame we don't live closer to you. We'd have to go lip rippin and share some tricks. I may be doing a concert close to you and if I get a chance, it's on!!! Keep the videos coming!!!

Going to flare my weed guards. I do trim my skirts, hook my trailers similar to the way you do, and I always tie a palomar knot. I don’t trim the front of the skirt tho so I’ll knock that out tomorrow as well. I almost always take a small chunk off the trailer tho. I find it’s much easier to get the bait keeper in without destroying it.

I like the big o’s brush bands that split the weedguard

Hey, Debo's! I have worked on my Topwater, Spinnerbait and Crankbait fishing over the last two years. My catch ratio has increased 70%. So I haven't worked on my bottom fishing in a while. When I lived in Southern Indiana. The lake I fished had Smallmouth bass in it. So I read up on how to catch Smallies. I used a Carolina rigged Pumpkin Green Salamander on a EWG 3/0 hook. This set up worked great! So now wanting to add to my fishing arsenal. I am wanting to learn how to jig fish and also add Carolina rig's this year. Believing I can improve my PB by bottom fishing. Debo's can you give me a update on jig fishing and do you have any Carolina rig knowledge to move me along. To catching my new PB. Shawn.

just got my medium heavy baitcasing rod and reel with 12lb mono setup for jigs in 1/4-3/8oz around weed lines, pot holes, edges of timber.

I love using a jig, probably my favorite piece of tackle.

Man after my own heart with those jig choices!

Great tips everyone should use when jigging.

Great tips guy! Just have a hard time putting up a plastic worm rig of some type in order to fish a jig. But, your vids are convincing me to put in the time. Thanks!

Man those are some good tips. Really like the idea of spreading the guard. Going to start using that.

thanks for the tips. im going to try throwing more jigs this year.

I'm not huge with jigs I will use them from time to time but I typically have a few other things I prefer more (mostly due to no bass being up here in North Dakota) most fish end up being pike/trout/northerns but yeah if I go for a jig I like the zman craws not advertising but they float and on a jig I just like to see those claws rise and I tend to fish a jig extremely slowly maybe a foot every 15 seconds.

Great video. Caught my first bass on a jig today!

Your killing it bro!

Heyyy I do the tear method in number one modification all the time, nobody taught me just makes sense. Good info

I just realized that I sorta stopped using jigs this winter. I guess I just wasn't getting bit and starting using other stuff.. who knows. I'm gonna force myself to always have one in the rotation.

Thanks awesome video now time to modify them like the tricks

Excellent video my friend! I definitely learned alot and I'm anxious to try jigs more in 2019. I use bladed jigs, spinnerbaits and started using swimjigs last year with some success. I need to build up some confidence in the actual jig. Alot of good information here to be utilized especially for a novice

Debo my man awesome video (as always) I use jig skirt trimming but don’t really mess with the weed guard much

Great tips!!! I'm new to jig fishing. I really liked that video. Thanks 👍🎣

Awesome upload DEBO 💪 when I first started jig fishing spreading the weedgaurd to snag less was key before I learned to do that I had hell trying to gain confidence bc it seemed like I spent more time trying to unsnag or tying a new jig on than actually fishing 🤣

Great job on this video Debo,thanks

Great tips man, there were a few I hadn’t done that I’m going to do tomorrow when I go through my jigs. Great video once again Debo 👊🏻

Not that they are crazy expensive, but dang I hate losing em so fast lol, but 1/4 oz bitsy bugs are on sale at Cabelas!

Thanks for the tips Debo im deffiently gonna use them.....and ive heard of a few of them before

Love the Debo tips and insights

Great content as always! Keep teaching bro!

I've never caught a fish on a jig but I'm going to keep trying because I found some more that I've bought for $1 at a pawn shop and I got a half ounce zman jig and a 3/4ths ounce River2sea jig and I'm ready to test the river2sea one out because it just looks great lol

when trimming the brush guard i tend to try and match the scenery around me so if i know the lake is loaded with lettuce im gonna keep it thicker than i normally would and vise versa

Great info Debo....

Good video Debo good advice thanks 👍

Nice work buddy great info

I only use one kind of jig, I use a brush jig or structure jig and I can do everything with one kind of jig and makes it way easier

Might be time to trim something more than the jig skirts... LOL... Look at that power beard taking off! How long are you going to grow it? :) Great video, as always. I especially like your point that flaring out the weed guard could also help to avoid hangups that come slightly from the side or when the jig turns over a bit while coming through cover. Smart!

Well done sir, thank you.

Good ideas thanks.

Bet that beard is helping your hook up ratio. Lol. Great video. Just invested in a bunch of jigs for this year.

I wish I would of found this video a few months ago thank you for the tips

Perfect debo good vid man keep it up

Do you have any videos that talk about the specific techniques? The one thing I think that I've been having problems with is how to actually start using them on the water. How do you move the rod to get certain motions, stuff like that. This, of course, is right alongside the whole "I don't know where/when to use what" problem. Hard to find tips that say "If you see [THIS], try using [THAT]." as a real jumping off point.

I mean i been throwing a 3/8 oz swim jig from Walmart with a craw trailer for years targeting smallmouth (on spinning gear like a rebel)

That was cool. Thank you

Thanks for the video. I love the way you teach. Very easy to understand the technique. Question: what is your go to trailer? Size, color, etc.?

I’ve found luck taking a nail and taking some of the paint off on both sides to shine like eyes

I like to swim a jig but I have never tried to flip one in heavy cover

Thanks Debo

Thanks for the video Debo! I do use most of the tips mentioned in this particular video. I still enjoy listening to the way you explain them though. Lol You are one heck of an instructor Debo! One of my goals for my 2019 feeshing is to improve my jigging skills. I am looking at a TFO Professional Series 7'6" jigging rod, (as well as some other brands). I am wondering if you or anyone other feeshing friend has any experience or useful input on the TFO Professional Series rods? Specificly the 7'6" med/heavy moderate/fast rod?

I spread the weed guard every time Debro

Great content bro!

I caught my first Bass on a Football head jig with a Crayfish trailer and the rest is history

@Debosfishing I have not done much jig mods really just cut some skirt off and put a trailer on and fish it lol

Jigs all Day

Interesting I never gave it much thought

Thanks

I have three rods. 1) a medium/fast spinning rod with 12 pound Braid, 2) a medium heavy baitcaster with 15 pound braid and a medium heavy caster with 50 pound braid. Which set up would I throw that rage craw jig setup?

I like the beard!

I find bulky, heavy jigs pretty difficult to fish especially on soft bottoms. Very hard to tell what's going on down there and it tends to pick up a lot more gunk than a smaller jig.

nice video bro. thanks for the tips.

Heck yeah bro👊😁👍

Nice...

I lost my first jig today. I'll keep trying though.

What if I want a smaller profile but I don’t want to spend the extra money on anouther pack of baits that I already have just in a different size?

Love the tips, I also have some bass tips on my channel, good stuff

I'm new to jigs what's a good weight or weights to go with and what size trailer

I just use a snap swivel on them

I am weak on freshwater jigging, mostly a worm guy. What jig would you recommend for shallow, clear, lots of Lilly pads with open pockets water? No rocks or wood. Thanks

hard part here is our pond is full of algae, kinda clogs up anything near the bottom. haven't had much luck with surface lures, but only bank fishing for now, no boat... but lotsa time to play/learn new baits... It'll all come together. Your videos help a lot, keep up the help. 😊😎 👍👍👍👍👍

Being new to fishing jigs I could def use this video. Lost my first one last week to get snagged in the “v” of a lily pad. Any hints to avoid that? Or is it the same info as the video?

Who did you order those brush jigs from, you did say it was a guy around where you live but does he seek to anyone?

Is it just me or does anyone else fan out the weed gaurd so it doesnt snag as much. I think it helps after speading the gaurd.

Hey Debo what's the name of the jig @5 min mark?

Can u use any soft plastic as a trailer or is there specific soft plastic to buy?
