I’ve taught myself how to bass fish the last 2 years and I haven’t done well 😂. It seems the information I get from your videos is EVERYTHING ive been doing wrong. Thanks so much! I’ve been very discouraged because I LOVE being out there and just not ever catching is such a bummer man.

Number 9 you don't always have to move it. Sometimes letting it soak (don't move it) for 30 seconds to 2 minutes will actually promote the strike. Particularly with pressured fish.

My confidence came in the use of a rattle in the trailer. I absolutely love the Kraken Craw in a 3". This is what built my assurance that bigger fish eat jigs. I pair up a Ballin Out 3\8 green or black and blue with an Ochachobee craw Kraken craw and its on if anything is near by.

Slowly but surely, bro. Your channel is getting more and more people! Where I fish at in Vegas is finally warming up a bit and I'm starting to see bass again for the first time since summer! I'm so excited to start catching them again. Also, the biggest thing i found is that helps is just having patience. Patience to learn and fish slow when needed. If you guys haven't checked out the master class yet, I'd definitely recommend it.

Good info!!! Another thing and to me by far top 3 fishing shallow maybe as important as any is learning how to pitch and flip well..get the bait around target areas quietly and also using the right rod and real..to me the rod means everything!!! I grew up on a murky water timber filled rocky lake in ky ..got a 7.2 last year biggest on scales with 1/4th oz hand made black blue structure jig ..I like how you pointed out cutting skirts to give movement more trailers ..one more tip I’d add too is silicone verse runner and when to throw each ..great points .i was always decent jig guy growing up murky but about 3/4 years ago I had buddy grown up more ky lake shallow water cypress trees teach me a lot more then I dreamed I already knew lol..alot goes into jig fishing ..its a bait I have tied all every tourney murky to clear water!!! Your point on water clarity and color is very key..weight size too..I throw a lot 3/16/1/4 oz jigs to summer bump to 3/8/5/16 ..deeper love 3/8th half..fishing Matted grass go heavy enough to punch ..I like to stay swimming swim jigs too..but flippin is my fav shallow..good points ..practice a few days with nothing but a jog and creature bait and throw into stiff with right rod u can flip 4 /6 lbers over 16incj logs easy with 15-17lb test

Yep these are 100% accurate, jig fishing is my favorite technique, it always amazes me how people struggle so much to catch fish with a jig it’s my anti skunk bait, seems I can almost always get at least one on a jig, but let me tell ya folks it’s worth your time and effort to learn how to properly fish a jig it will take your fishing to the next level!!

Soooo, how do you know when your weed guard is too long and where to trim it? I am afraid to trim too much, is there a rule if thumb as to how long or how close to the hook it should be?

@firemazer9202 Ай бұрын

Truthfully when the bite gets hard and i can't catch them on a lipless crankbait or wacky rig or Texas rig then i downsize to a 1/16 crappie jig with a 2 inch curly tail trailer and a lot of times no trailer at all. Caught two foot longs on it yesterday when nothing else was working.

@jameselkins8639 10 күн бұрын

Another one I would say is to be patient on your hookset. Reel into it first and then set. I watch so many beginners feel a tap and rip it so hard they about fall out of the boat.

10:57 There's a reason why i chose smaller profile baits when i started this tackle business and it's simply because they will land you fish. In fact this past season i shattered all my pb's on my lures i made that were smaller than 2". 6lb native redband hybrid rainbow trout and a 3lb smallmouth all on small bfs swimbaits.

@@KrakenBass I been peeping you out for a while. When talking about jig modifications might I recommend actually doing these mods on camera. Not for me I constantly modify all my tackle but for the viewers. A lot of people are visual learners and talking about modifying baits goes right over people's heads you have to show them. This younger generation is who watches us as content creators and they are learning through visually watching us so just a couple minutes of a quick weed guard separation and trimming goes a long way to the people. Anyways I like what your doing thanks a lot.

Im currently on the hunt for a perfect all purpose/jig rod. I bank fish and mainly like finessey baits but i also want something stiff enough to set the hook on a jig. Iv lost so many jig fish because my rod is too weak to set the hook. If anyone knows of a brand with a stiff med rod lemme know.

@freshandsaltyjohnny 3 ай бұрын

i have 4 jig rods. 1 for swim jigs, 1 for finesse jigs, 1 for football jigs and 1 for casting jigs. There is no such thing as all purpose. There are go-to rods that can throw like 70-80% of all bass lures but not all.

@iLearnt-IT-on-You-Tubes 3 ай бұрын

@@freshandsaltyjohnny well like i said im a bank angler so really only can take one rod with me at a time. Im looking for a quality brand with stiff mediums. Something between a med and MH. St Croix are too soft.

@AngryOtter614 3 ай бұрын

A medium that's going to fish in the medium range should have weight recommendations of 1/8th to 5/8th oz. If it shows 3/16th to 3/8th, then it most likely to fish light. If it shows 1/4 to 3/4, to me that's a medium heavy but probably fishes as a medium should, if the max weight is 1 Oz, your into MH for sure. Hope this helps. @iLearnt-IT-on-You-Tubes

@RyanSmith-fb8rf Ай бұрын

The line you use can change the rod power as well so practice an easy connection knot using braid to leader so you can use one rod for different powers just by adjusting your line

Some great tips in here. The one that stood out to me was choosing the right size craw trailers. The 3” chigger craw from Berkley has out fished the 4” for us time and time again. Not just as a jig trailer but also on a Ned rig jig as well!

You’ve got a really good video here on jig prep and some good solid advice. If a guy wants to learn to jig fish you just give him everything he needs to know to catch fish….. I can do anything with my jig you can do with your box of baits lol except walk the dog and get a frog bite! My favorite weight is 1/4 oz colors are black and blue or brown and orange I keep these two tied on and on the deck of the boat year round. FYI I noticed you add a drop of glue to your baits lol I do the same thing and have for 30 years.

Think of what your fish are eating. Think about your situation type. Really think about the trailer. do you want it to swim, or be flat and roll over logs, or are you deep water with rocks. Once you understand jigs promise you will buy more soft baits for trailers. I never got it growing up. Now jigs are 1/4 of my usual lures to use. Make them look and act real!
