3 Jig Fishing Tricks To Catch Bigger Bass This Summer! Beginner To Advanced!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- 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 demonstrates jig retrieves before diving in depth into how to adapt your jigs to changing conditions, how to stroke a jig, and how to adapt trailers for Summer bass fishing.
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. Stroking is a prime example of how a jig can be adapted to get bigger bites. In today's video Matt explains how to stroke a jig then takes it a step further and shows a simpler way to adapt the technique when fishing flats.
Its up to you to decide how in depth you want to take your jig fishing. Below is a breakdown of the baits, trailers, and colors Matt discussed in the video. He also included the jig combo he was using as well as a few alternatives at different price points.

If we like the video? We love the videos, Matt. You are the master bass educator. I'm 81 and still have a thirst for more. You and Tim always provide the best teaching available anywhere and it's FREE. Best deal ever, thank you.
Been working in my jig game as well.. just caught my first big bass on a jig recently and want to learn how to fine tune my skills.. thanks for the great tips and keep up the great videos!
You guys rock awesome tips and techniques I’ve learned so much from you guys thanks 🙏
Matt’s technique is spot on!
I trim the skirts back to allow the trailer to move as designed. I fish a jig year round now. It’s my favorite bait by far.
I was so nervous the whole video that the rod was going to go for a swim leaning against that post. 🥴
Just a tip, but I have to say this was good lesson for anyone a pro or weekender. The tip : next time do wear a camouflage shirt or hold with color from beard to the shirt it cause the lures to blend, really destroys the size of any lure. Holding to right, or left upwards in that position blue skies. The cameraman should check the money shots.
Typo DO NOT WEAR camouflage for the background!
Nate Broughton I had a chill when I noticed it
ME TO!!!! Don't whack the post. Don't whack the post. Don't whack the post.
I would have hit it within the first 10 seconds. That's my luck.
I would like to see an in depth video on "punching" a heavy jig in grass. Great video as usual!
Yessssss!
This would be awesome. I found a beautiful lake that has big bass but it’s super heavy with weeds
Maybe just go back to their punching videos, they say go up in weight on a jig because it has so much more to go through, like if you're getting through with 3/4 oz t-rig use a 1 1/4 oz jig. Unless I misunderstood what info you're looking for.
@@figueroa2191 why not just use a texas rig with 1 oz with 4/0 punch hook. Use your typical punch setup
Been looking to improve my jig game! Thanks for the tips! Will put it into action soon!
Thank you for this video. Very well done and greatly appreciated! Very thorough and articulate, and I appreciate that you demonstrated the techniques at the same time that you were discussing them. I have recently begun focusing specifically on catching bass, but I have not been clear on proper retrieval techniques for various jigs (although I have had moderate success doing it “my way”). After watching your video this morning, I hit the lake specifically to modify my retrieval to the bump/pull technique you demonstrated, and I very quickly hooked a largemouth, and then had one shake off on the very next cast. Needless to say, I was very happy to feel like I might finally be doing it a better way. Thank you!
🙏🙏🙏
Most informative fishing channel on RUclips. Hands down y’all.
I want to thank you for th3 helpful tips in fishing a jig. I went out this morning and decided to fish with a finesse jig and caught bass all morning long , this is the second time I've ever used a jig and used your double bounce technique and helped alot
Thank you Matt for teaching us how to stroke a jig.
So good seeing you on a southern lake. Going to be more relevant to what I fish.
Awesome stuff
I’ve only dragged or occasionally popped it
Now I will try these new techniques thank you
BTW "Tacticalbassin" has got to be one of the best (if not the best,) fishing channels on RUclips. Between them and Bass HQ. Great info for beginners and pros!
got my pb swimming a jig after watching this shit. 8.1. no one has more insight than these 2 dudes. learned so much. hail.
Matt and Tim, please consider a video focused on the big bass that STAY SHALLOW as summer comes. I'm in the Midwest fishing from shore in small natural bodies of water. However, in RUclips I am seeing lots of videos across Manu channels about deep water legde fishing far offshore in southern reservoirs. It looks interesting, but those videos pertains to me the same as saltwater tarpon fishing videos.
Awesome Matt, just what this 70 year old fisherman needed. Can’t wait to try it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I really like watching Matt Allen fish. He’s probably my favorite. Wish he would come out to Georgia.
Thanks guys, ever since I started bass fishing I’ve bought items you’ve recommended and everyone has hands down worked for me! Things I went out and bought on my own, never do lol. thanks again!
Matt, you are a fishing DICTIONARY! For some reason I never thought of the effect that that cold/hot water has on some of these baits action. AWESOME jig tips! Thank you for your INCREDIBLE content brother!!!
I don’t know why but I feel a little melancholy about you guys not being at Clearlake.
That's why I ain't caught anything good since they left...
Stroking a jig is the way I caught my first bass on a jig and on a bait caster. I was stroking it to o keep it off of the bottom as much as possible because there was a lot of grass in the lake.
So glad you guys are in Tennessee.... if you want a challenge come up north couple hours to Norris lake aka “Dead Sea” I’d love to see how you guys fish it.
Excellent advice. Fished a swim jig using the tricks in the video and caught a PB tonight.
Love learning from you guys. I am new to fishing (2 years) and I do it from my kayak. I would love a video of a run down on rod set up for each type of fishing style. For example
Frog: rod?, reel?, line?
Texas rig:
Square bill:
Chatter-baits:
Finesse?
I have two go to jigs,,both are by Strike King,, first is the 1/4 oz BitsyBug w/a chunk trailer and 2nd is the 1/2 oz Denny Brauer flipping jig with a Strike King rage craw,,, they'll catch bass anywhere in the nation...
Wow I got in real early 🙌 6th Sense Divine hybrid jihs are my all-around fav....The Divine Hybrid Jig is a universal casting jig ,The head shape is a cross between a structure jig, a grass jig, and a football jig and allows you to use it in a variety of applications.
I love fishing a jig. Never leave home with out one. 😎
Welcome to the chick. Looks like you bought a place just down the road from a cabin I have.
I prefer jigs with lots of bulk but in a small profile. Like the missile baits micro finesse jig or the war eagle heavy finesse jigs. The jewel baits spider jig is killer as well.
Wow I never thought that I would need a video like this at the perfect time, Thanks Matt
Great video will have to get some jigs
Summer nights jig stroking 👌.
Awesome vid Matt. Love hearing you talk about Jake fishing. It’s something I need to do more of because I know it gets bigger bites. God bless!
Meant to say Jig not Jake. Siri 😖
Something I started doing this spring/summer is taking a 1/4 oz black flipping jig with a large skirt and a double tail grub on the back and throwing it in shad schools letting it fall through the shad it gets down to the bigger fish before the smaller ones usually cause several 3+lbers this year doing it
I love your dock videos! Show and tell style
Great video as always guys. PLEASE PLEASE do a video on lake turnover.
Jig caught me my kayak PB a couple weeks ago. 22.75” and 6-1/2lbs.
Thank you for helping me!! now I can't wait to go to the water and smash some bigmouth bass
Man watching these videos has taken from clueless bass fisherman to getting 7lb largemouth in Florida. Nobody can explain these things as well as tactical bassin and it’s translated to more fish.
@TacticalBassin ... you guys should do a "whats rigged up on our deck" video! Would love to see what your line up is given conditions and season.
Great presentation, good stuff in those words of wisdom. Thanks for all you guys do!
So Matt, I love this video; however do you use the same techniques when fishing from a kayak? Not a bass boat owner yet? Thanks for your help.
I will also stroke a Texas rigged creature bait, allowing the weight to slide up a couple of feet so the bait has a little space to free-fall, like it would if it were Carolina rigged.
As a shore fisherman on a clear body of water, there is so much vegetation growth in the summer, it makes it impossible to fish any bottom bait.
I have the same issue, very frustrating!
I feel this deep I my soul.
Yup the lake ive caught the most fish at is super grassy i started fishing the areas that have moss covering the grass and bang fish galore i will pop a weedless senko or zman hula like a frog skipping even a swim bait on top gets good bites i am not running from the grass i fish the bank primarily and have pretty good success thanks to these types of vids
Check out Nichols Grass Wizard jig. Comes through grass about as well as a texas rig.
Try punching
What a great video..... thanks for the tips
You guys should do some 300 to 400 rod and reel vids like individual and combos
can u do a in depth on how you clean your reels
I can make on for you and send it to you if you would like?
As always, thanks for the great tips Matt
Awesome videos and support .... u guys have always responded to every question I’ve had ..... thanks so much ...... quick ? now, 50s at night 80s during day at peak, pond fishing, 8-10’ feet ponds mostly round here ? Go to ?? It’s been tough here lately I’m guess such big temp changes everyday ???
Hi Matt can you do a dedicated video on the small frog bass fishing techniques and tips set up’s it’ll be much appreciated!
Awesome video brother always learn so much from you thanks
Really good info, Matt. Thank you for continued great content!
Great info thank you
Thanks Matt, Great tips.
If y’all have moved to the South...I hope you understand the heat down here. Tennessee is few hours of north of the worst of the heat and that will help a bit, though. Not quite as humid as here in central GA, or MS, AL, FL. The heat is rough, but the humidity down here makes the heat even more brutal.
thank you for the tips
Gorgeous background. Awesome tips.
Great chanal like all ur tips
Love the tips! 🔥
When do you prefer rage menace? a craw?. and late summer what's your fav jig color and trailer color for stained water.. 0 - 2ft via TIA!!
Awesome job Matt ❤️👍
off subject here...I don't recall you guys ever talking about "solunar tables" in past videos (or if you did I missed it). Thoughts on the tables and do you consider them at all when fishing? Have you, in your years of fishing, ever found them to be useful? good luck and best wishes on the move east! Love your channel!!!
Thanks this helps!
Matt, I know you've seen my comments. I'm in soddy daisy. Let's go fishing. Let's do it!!!!! I'm off Sunday if it doesn't rain.
You think he actually cares lmao it's just thanks for the money. They do nothing with or for there subscribers. Just collect your views and don't forget everything's linked in the description but it's just so you don't forget ofcourse it's not to make revenue we won't mention that part though
Great info, thanks!
Would love to do a guide with you here in Arkansas. We have some very nice lakes here. One small lake is known for large florida strain largemouth.
Question for the TB team: Northern waters, lighter line & bait for clear water situations--how many baits did you lose to toothy critters?
Awesome as always Matt. Looking forward to your videos at the new digs. Got any tips for a guy looking to relocate to the Tennessee or Alabama area?
Caught my fuckin new pb yesterday on a blue and black football jig with a Berkeley jester craw in green pumpkin. Right at 10 I need a digital scale, massive for Colorado. 1lb 2oz off state record.
Outstanding video!
Great video! Subscribed! Thanks!
I really need to get back to jigging more. I've been trying to develop deep crank reaction bites and learning how to locate/catch fish in water over 20' deep. (I haven't figured it out yet, but that's another topic). I've caught almost all of my larger fish on a jig of some sort; flipping/pitching, swim, football, even a chatterbait (I think of that as a reaction jig.) I got away from throwing jigs because of trying to use the cover-water-until-you-find-fish-and-then-slow-down process. Honestly, it hasn't bee working for me.
Great video I’ve wanted to know what do y’all thing about zman and googan baits
Great stuff. The only difference I see between the two jugs other than hook size is length. They both look bulky? Is that what you are talking about is length and not so much bulky?
Good stuff Matt! 💯
Always a banger!! 😁👍🎣😁👍🎣
those compact jigs are no joke
Great content…learned something new
North Star Custom Baits got the best jigs. Siebert Outdoors is quality too.
I have several from Siebert
@@gregjohnson6799 I had a bunch of NSCB in a bag I left in the car and they got stolen 😭 I think I only have a couple left and maybe 1 spinner
Josh Bassett I hate a thief!!!
Can you guys review googan baits please. I think some other people will want to see this to.
could you please make a video about fishing lily pads ? I'm fishing a pond I'm not very familiar with and it has a ton of lily pads, but I'm just not finding the bass. I'm pitching jigs, creature baits, and frogging in and around them, but not much luck.
How are you guys liking it down at Chickamauga? Its amazing isnt it?
Thank you. Do these methods work in waters where there is no crawfish?
When are you guys going to start guiding on chick??? I want to book a trip!!!!
😍 love some jigs
Thanks for the tips. I’m curious as to how you guys are adjusting to the change in humidity levels now that you have moved to TN? Especially now in the Summer months. It has to be quite a change from CA.
Jersey47 Ha! I thought the same thing.. coming from that dry heat into this suffocating humidity.. I’m sure it’ll affect their desire to fish through the afternoon.. HOOOOTTTT!
@@JohnSmith-qj5bn Do you live in TN? I'm trying to research places to retire to in a few years. Cost of living is crazy here in CA, and the political climate sucks. I have seen and heard a few people recommending TN as a place to retire to, but I'm not sure I can deal with the dramatic change in humidity levels.
I see in another reply that you're "... working in my jig game as well...", I can highly recommend Bass Union Jigs. I have caught several nice jig fish using the BU Finesse Football jigs. Where previously I had zero luck using any other jig. The founder of Bass Union jigs has a youtube page and posts some tips and videos a few times a month. You might want to give them a try.
What rod would you use with your #1 jig????
Probably my favorite fishing channel. Frustrating part is there's just way too many options. Ahhhhhh
Louisiana
What bait woukd be good to fish the napa river for largemouth ive had a lot of trouble catching them
Thanks for your video and time , Are you guys now in Chattanooga area ?
I’m in the market for a new all around jig and worm rod. I’ve narrowed it down to these 3 rods. GLX 853C JWR, GLX 854C JWR, and GLX 843C MBR. Which of these three do you think would be my best choice. I mainly fish with no heavier than a 1/2 oz jig. But I do throw up to a 10 1/2 inch worm every once in a while. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, and keep these awesome videos a rollin in!
The MBR is way too light for that application. The 853 and 854 are both awesome. If you lean toward heavier rods, definitely the 4. If you lean to lighter rods, definitely the 3.
Thanks for the quick response and input. This is going to make my decision easier. I really enjoy All your content, and have learned a lot from it. Keep up the good work!👍🏼
Great job Matt...many thanks.
Guys I need some input on when to set the hook ... I was taught many years ago to "reel in the slack line" and then set - Matt is a big boy and can set with his rod at 2:00, I can't. There are pros who reel down until they feel the weight of the fish before they set and others who set immediately no matter what their rod angle is...??? What are y'all doing??
Reel down until your rod tip is around waist level with no slack in the line then set the hook
@@kingfisher2857.....that's the way I was taught.....thanks dude.
Supar 👍
Is the trailer necessary or are you able to do all of this without it?
I have really been struggling cashing in on the bites that i get.I've been following you guys for a couple of years and your knowledge and tips have made me a better fisherman all around. But I have been in a slump and struggling this year. I don't get out near as much as I would like but I feel like I am missing opportunities when I do. I am getting lots of bites but just can't seem to cash in on my chances. Super frustrating....any suggestions would greatly be appreciated
try useing super sharp hooks mustad makes great ones and try start using some basic techniques
try giving MonsterBass boxes a try I guarantee you will not be disapointed😀👍🎣
Should I drop down to a 3.8oz if I'm mainly fishing ponds?
my anxiety for your rod took me away from your jig lesson... i'll watch it again and i'm sure i'll learn something.
Unless you’re fishing a highland reservoir this summer😂 it’s tough out here
