I met an older guy that pours and ties his own jigs in his garage. I asked him "When and where is the best time to throw a jig?" His answer was "Yes". Best advice I've ever been given...

@deangruwell6555 4 жыл бұрын

Sounds very familiar- decades ago I met an older man asked to see my tackle box .. he got a chuckle out of all my lures - politely told me a plastic worm is all that’s ever needed - year round - any depth etc .. it’s all he used .. I fished with him a few times after - and he truly was an amazing angler with just a plastic worm

I love that Gerald keeps things simple and stays positive. I stopped chasing tackle a few years back, choosing instead to simplify the abundant supply of quality tackle I already own, buying and replacing sparingly. Also, his lectures on attitude and staying mentally present have been invaluable both on and off the water. Whether you're a serious angler or just a weekend warrior, I highly recommend watching his videos on living with a positive mental attitude. You'll become a better angler and have more fun. Peace

one man's opinion: it's just like a worm only I'll shake it a little slower. also you can shake just the line and let the jig sit shaking in the same spot there for a while and that works good too. sometimes at the end of the bring up, I'll give it a hard pop, pop, lotta times they'll eat it after that when it hits the bottom. if you imagine one staring at it and you give it two hard pops before reeling down.... she's probably going to eat it. you'll see your line jump or as you reel down to start shaking again, one will be there. chigger craw trailer early in the year. Yamamoto double tail grub as the water gets warmer. 3/8 oz arky style head, preferably living rubber. brown or black and blue. happy jigging.

@EliteNugz 4 жыл бұрын

School of Fish. Don't worry about the knot. Just use mono or copolymer and tie a palomar knot which is very simple yet the strongest of all knots. Another tip to make your jig irresistible is using THE CHAMP CRAW for a trailer. You'll catch bigger smallies and largemouth. The claws float so it makes the jig stand upright. More bites and less misses. Peace bro

@unicornsteaks6769 4 жыл бұрын

I usually detect my bites one of two ways. Either the bait feels like it doesn't weight anything. Or it just swims off sideways, I tighten up and set the hook. Whenever I feel the "tick-tick" it's a dink or a bream.

@anttt9050 6 жыл бұрын

Other pros disagree about waiting to set the hook. Sometimes you have to reel in a bit of slack line because sometimes the bite is subtle. Other times yeah you can set the hook right away

Same knot I Always use......double the line, run it through. 7 twists and then back through the 1st loop, pull down snug.

@clintonfisher4622 7 жыл бұрын

I use the same not for everything. Maybe I'm just lazy (this is it) but I rarely come undone be it braid, fluro, or mono. I use the palimore knot probably spelt wrong but it is what it is always worked for me. 99.95% of the time if I lose a lure or hook its because the line snapped not the knot coming undone.

@thebassuniversity 7 жыл бұрын

Is the line curled at the end when it breaks? If so, it broke at the knot. I don't think most people are concerned about the knot slipping out, but particularly people have issue with palomar knots on fluorocarbon breaking.

@scotttaylor4566 7 жыл бұрын

Clinton Fisher if thou do not cross the lines maintaining the alignment of the line and don't since down the square not part of the Palomar knot your flurocarbon doesn't burn itself. This requires time and attention to detail that most fisherman don't take the time to do.

@scotttaylor4566 7 жыл бұрын

if you do not pay attention when tying the knot the don't use the Palomar with flurocarbon line. It will break every time at the knot.

@thebassuniversity 4 жыл бұрын

May be a little light. The wire gauge on the hooks will often take a little more force to penetrate, so you may break the line or miss fish. I'll use 14lb.+ and on finesse jigs (1/4oz or smaller), I will sometimes fish 10lb.

Just double up the line like you would when tying a palomar knot, but then instead of tying the palomar knot, tie an improved clinch knot instead. You're making wraps around doubled up line.
