This is right up my alley!!! I LOVE bass fishing, I LOVE using Jigs and I primarily fish from the bank. Really appreciate you making this video and uploading for us to enjoy. #BassGeekNation4Life
You seem like a good dude. I like the practical hands on stuff that is one of the things that is missing from some of the other channels I watch keep it up!
This might just be the most comprehensive bass bank fishing video I've ever seen. I mostly use float rigs for shore fishing, but that is only fun for so long. A++ stellar content. Big time thank you!!
As kid dad couldn't buy this stuff. I'm adult now, I want ketch fish not shit and wait. I appreciate this because I'm the one fishing now. And honestly I didn't know there was more then putting worm/minno on hook idea
@BassGeek haha yeah that's a labour of love right there! This would be a huge hit as a series, awesome job highlighting adjustments to weight etc. One of the only people I've seen pitch heavy wood from the bank on video.
Thank you for this video. I am starting to learn jig fishing. From the bank. That is key in this video for me. Mot enough channels remember the guys who have to bank fish. I appreciate you doing that. Love your channel. God bless
I have to say using a jig has become my favorite lure to use. Never used one until last year and a lot of this info I have learned by just using them on the different lakes in my area. Got one lake with sandy and rocky areas with no grass and one that has grass with sandy and rocky areas.
I am a blind man and you are explaining this extremely well and I am going to try it out when we go canoe fishing this weekend! Thank you sir very much amazing videos
Thanks for remembering bank fisherman Hank! I am going to try this jig as I am always looking for something more weedless. I'm a straight braid guy myself as the places I jig fish have color to the water. Now, if I can just drag myself away from that jerk bait at my gin clear big lake! Thanks again.
I never had confidence in my jig fishing from the bank so generally i have avoided them. After this video i am going to fish them again for sure. Thanks for a great chnnel. Your advice works even here in South Africa.
Man, you are always spot on. Absolutely love this and I needed to see it. I don’t own a boat so I always bank or creek walk, so this was a great refresher course for me. A lot of the stuff you are saying to do, I’ve done before but have gotten away from it for some reason. I’m gonna have to get back at it soon, but rain has really put a damper on the fishing lately. Thanks for the video as always! I’ve sent your channel to every fisherman I know! Best channel on RUclips for fishing, hands down 👍🏻
My friend; I just sent a comment to you from another video I watched (fromyouJJ) about jig fishing and I thought it was just great! In thqt comment, I asked for you to gibre some tips on fishinhg from ther bank into a hgrassuy pond. Well you just answered my question with this video; IT WAS GREATS! I rreally like youre style and the info is fantastics~! I am a 77 uear old newbie to lake/pond fishing and didn't realize the complexities of it. I was a trout streaqm fly angler, but poor ieysight made me make a changer. There are still some challenges but ghuys like you habe made the experience much more accessable. TYhank you again and please keep these bvideos coming. Your Geek buddy Walt.
I agree with all you suggested sir.id add wearing camouflage, and casting from behind or over bushes works great for me. Braided lines,and a high rod tip will get me a few extra sneaky bites. And the frog is a wonderful weedless option when the jig gets hung.and always wear polarized glasses. You can see so much more bait activity, and Match lure color and size to forage. And retrieve speed.
Thank you for the best 101 video on casting jigs from the shore with a casting rod/reel that I have found so far. Additionally the details on the jigs and in particular the trashmaster was outstanding. Unfortunately I can not find many options for 1/4 or 3/8 ounce jigs, but I will keep an eye out. Please make more shore line videos!
Thanks I don't remember if trashmaster makes a 1/4 you may have to go with another jig. I do plan on doing more how to's from the bank and more fishing from the bank.
@@BassGeek I have a few but where I fish is mostly too grassy for the bottom bite. I can't wait to catch one. But seriously, that video taught me more than any of my friends that I've asked so I appreciate it, Sir!
Don’t ever have any luck with swim jigs or flipping jigs. Mostly because I don’t think I’m fishing them right. I use to get so frustrated fishing the bank. I use to think you can’t catch fish unless you have a boat so I just stopped. I picked it back up and going to try again.
Nice brother! I'm about 90% bank fisherman, besides the kayak fishing here and there and it's hard to find a good place to watch for advice.. keep up the good work and stay safe out there! Thanks for sharing bank fishing tips for jig's!!
Right on Brother I’m learning the jig it is becoming one of my favorites now. Great info as always. Appreciate you giving us tips and tricks and the secrets to be more successful on our trips. Best channel on the tube!!!!💯🤙🏻
Great info, I've never thrown a jig from the bank, but since I subbed to your channel a while ago, I picked up a few Arkie jigs. Thanks! #100% BassGeek
If your fishing around alot of obstacles trees tall grass basic bank obstacles go to a shorter rod . Especially if your struggling to walk a frog the shorter rod will make a huge difference .
Thanks for actually going over the retrieves and not just talking about the certain types of each bait. You’ve helped me a lot. I’ve been fishing for years all live and cut bait. This year I dived into the bass lure game and actually caught some fish. Your vids helped a lot.
Excellent vid! You talked about using a SHORTER 7' Rod! Lol - I'll stick with my 5'6"ers for the super tight places I've fished for decades. I'm a Texas Rig plastics guy but need to sling some more jigs! Ur vid was exactly what I was lookin for. Thanks & subbed!
I have learned so much from watching some of your videos. And I have been bass fishing for years, good for all levels. The real question is how do you not have way more subs.
Wow. Funny how you made this. I have been fishing jigs for the past week or so. Realized I really want to learn how to use them since they are super versatile. Anyways, I've had good success and today I pulled in a nice 14 incher off just my second cast with one.
The trashmaster is suck an amazing jig! Between the head design and the screw lock to Texas rig it. It’s a staple jig for me. That and the poison tail swimjigs from do it molds.
Spot on lpt of folks need a brush up on jig fishing. I fish for wvertthing year round so I keep most of my skills well practiced. I do use 14 but I know the lakes around here so well I rarely get hung. 👌👍😊
I find 17lb fluorocarbon (or Sufix Siege or Yo Zuri hybrid for those who don't like fluorocarbon) is a great all around line for jigs, at least in the northeast where I live and fish.
@@BassGeek I do use 65 braid when I'm in real thick cover too, but we don't have a lot of extreme cover where I fish so 17lb does well for me 85%+ the time :)
I have lately been going to a shallow creek with a bunch of lay downs . I do this just to get away from the deep clear lakes I normally fish . I love to flip a jig and T rig sometimes and change it up. I just this year have really started to just chuck a jig in the thick of it and worry about it later lol. I think that's the biggest step is taking the leap and throwing it where the fish are instead of the perimeter of the lay down . Hope all is well bud .
@@BassGeek yes indeed. I'm new to the sport and I've learned so much from guys like you. It's incredible. I already threw trashmaster and some rage craws in my Amazon cart
@@BassGeek man I tried a jig yesterday for the first time. I had 5 or 6 bites in 30 min...and I missed EVERY SINGLE HOOK SET! I have only really had experience with a tex rig worm, so I Def need to adjust something. Please help!
I have a love/hate relationship with jigs. I dont catch many fish on them, but the ones I do are quality fish. I just cant ever seem to not get them snagged on anything and everything. I typically just throw a Ned Rig these days. They still land me good fish and for some reason arent as snaggy. These were fantastic tips though, Im going to try to get back to jigging and try to get more comfortable with it.
I'm new to bass fishin and you got a sub out of me! Your very informative and thorough. plus that good ol' southern accent just makes it easy to listen to haha
great explenation and very informative for those that dont know! TRC Cover float to i know by experiencing that lol Great video Hank keep up the great work!!
All great information for bank anglers, it's how I started fishing and all of what you said will help any bank angler fish a jig! Great job Hank! #BGN #BASSGEEK
I'm watching this for the sixth time because it never hurts to have the recap. Plus I just realized I never gave your video a like which will be the first thing I do after commenting!
Dang bro, your editing skills are top notch. Seriously, I'm going to be watching a lot of your videos and be studying. What is your editing software? I use Adobe Premiere Elements...or should say learning how to use it. Been using Kinemaster because it is compatible with my action camera, which makes things easy, since it's a phone based editing app. That said, I'm ready to stop being intimidated by Premiere. The overall clarity is a thousand times better. Anyway, this is great!
Hey, I'm here off a recommendation from good Ole Debo. Love these shore videos, I am a bank angler here in South Eastern Kentucky. I fish primarily the Lake Cumberland and Cumberland River complex. I deal with mostly clearish water, but after heavy rains it does get really muddy. I'm new to the area so I have no idea what the primary forage is. So I feel like most of the time I'm just taking my lures for a swim and not accomplishing anything. When I do catch something I try to repeat the pattern in similar types of cover to no avail. Basically every time I catch a fish it feels like dumb luck. So Mr. Bass Geek please help me! Signed the Bass Dumbass.
That lake is tough sir. I know it well. It’s just so steep and deep it’s hard to get a good read on. Man right now it’s gonna be small swimbaits, worms like a shaky head and Ned, and jigs. Slow down hit the high spots and don’t be afraid deep deep water. 50ft is a norm up there
@@BassGeek Next time i am at the store i will look for them. I have seen videos where people talk about using swim jigs as a regular jigs for lake fishing. I would be using it in river current as a regular jigs. It probably gets beaten up on a stop and go retrieve dragging on the bottom. River bottom mostly gravel with scattered rocks with some weed beds. On the south side of the bridge where I fish there is a big drop off from the island to the main riverbank on the mouth of the Nashwaak River that flows into the Saint John River here in Fredericton New Brunswick
As always a great video and I find myself coming straight to you when I want to learn something new. I'm more confident in my setup now too. I use almost everything identical just a different brand of rod.
Very helpful tips brother thanks...I've always loved throwing electric grape worms on a clear day and pumpkin on cloudy days and done very well!! Been having some trouble getting going days are getting a little warmer but the water is still a little cold...do u like elec.grape colors and how bout live shiners!!?? All from bank fishing!!?? And definitely threw u a sub...cant wait to check the rest of ur videos and new content!!! Thanks!!!
Grab your drink,grab ya popcorn, grab your wife. Tell her dinner can wait,Bass Geek is on! Kids quiet down, the 🐐 is dropping knowledge. Time to enjoy!!!!! Such good videos man! Never thought about downsizing to bring it up over cover from the bank. Extremely smart,excellent tip. Keep up the great work man!🏆🏆
Great content....I creek/river smallie fish, use 6' rod w 1/4oz Texas rig jig..crush em...if u don't have the cash for sev rods u can still jig for fatties.
I get shit for bank fishing with a tackle bag and 5 combos but i always end up giving my friends stuff they need and letting them use a combo when they birdsnest theirs 😂😂
BG, Hell yeah I like if I like it this video! This was a great video for all of us bank fisherman nation! WE WANT MORE BANK FISHING VIDEOS WITH THIS THOROUGH CONTENT! Thank you! When u going to make that shirt i suggested to you, Like it if you like it? I want to buy one.
Amazing information about those tips. I was so thankful i had bo problem they get fish out summer cottage just in harbour a lots of fish when its comes to summer in Sweden 🥰👍 new frend is full support 👍🤗
Thanks so much man I haven’t been able to catch much of anything then I tried a jig and I had a ton of success thank you
No thank you for letting me know! That's so awesome.
Polarized glasses are the most important part of any bank fisherman's arsenal
Yes sir.
💯
Dude I liked it before I watched and I don’t regret my decision.
hahaha thanks man.
Nah thank you for the always useful tips brother
I did the same thing 👍
Same!!! I like his explanations. It’s not just droning on and on. Looking forward to more content!!
How does this guy not have 10x the subs. So much good info without the bs
Thank you that's awesome!
God is good!!!!
I got more than my fair share of jigs in my tackle box. I need to start using them more and hope to use this tips. Thank dude.
I love'em but remember they are a tool that has the right time and place.
This is right up my alley!!! I LOVE bass fishing, I LOVE using Jigs and I primarily fish from the bank. Really appreciate you making this video and uploading for us to enjoy. #BassGeekNation4Life

South GA Bass and RC I second that
Your videos always do help. 😎👍
Agreed
You seem like a good dude. I like the practical hands on stuff that is one of the things that is missing from some of the other channels I watch keep it up!
Thanks I wish I could catch a fish every time I'm doing a how to but the places I fish that's easier said than done. It's always a grind.

I hope we can help.
Dude I appreciate you taking the time off the boat to speak to the large amount of bank anglers. Boat tips carry over fine but we appreciate it.
I love to fish from the boat but I know you guys need some love and help I'm gonna try to do more.
@BassGeek haha yeah that's a labour of love right there! This would be a huge hit as a series, awesome job highlighting adjustments to weight etc. One of the only people I've seen pitch heavy wood from the bank on video.
Watched this video in the morning and caught fish in the afternoon from this video! this is great information!
Heck yeah! Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this video. I am starting to learn jig fishing. From the bank. That is key in this video for me. Mot enough channels remember the guys who have to bank fish. I appreciate you doing that. Love your channel. God bless
Be sure to use a little lighter jig 1/4 is a killer
I’ve been killing it in our neighborhood pond with that exact shad swim jig that was shown. 3/8 oz with a swim bait trailer 🤘
DoctorSess Heck yeah man! Good job! Thanks
I have to say using a jig has become my favorite lure to use. Never used one until last year and a lot of this info I have learned by just using them on the different lakes in my area. Got one lake with sandy and rocky areas with no grass and one that has grass with sandy and rocky areas.
Heck yeah the more you use it the more you learn how diverse they are.
I am a blind man and you are explaining this extremely well and I am going to try it out when we go canoe fishing this weekend! Thank you sir very much amazing videos
Awesome good luck and go catch’em
@@BassGeek thank you very much sir no luck, they weren’t biting what we were throwing, the sand bass that is cut several catfish on cut up shad thoe
Thanks for remembering bank fisherman Hank! I am going to try this jig as I am always looking for something more weedless. I'm a straight braid guy myself as the places I jig fish have color to the water. Now, if I can just drag myself away from that jerk bait at my gin clear big lake! Thanks again.

Heck yah I hope it helps and Hello South Africa!
Love this as a bank angler. I use worms or stick baits mostly, will need to try jigs as well. Thank you
Thanks I hope to do more.
God is good!!!!

Ok cool thanks

That lake is tough sir. I know it well. It’s just so steep and deep it’s hard to get a good read on. Man right now it’s gonna be small swimbaits, worms like a shaky head and Ned, and jigs. Slow down hit the high spots and don’t be afraid deep deep water. 50ft is a norm up there
I am a riverbank fisherman. I have never used the football skirted jigs or other jigs in river current. I have used swim jigs in river current
This jig is a great hybrid between a casting jig and swimjig
@@BassGeek Next time i am at the store i will look for them. I have seen videos where people talk about using swim jigs as a regular jigs for lake fishing. I would be using it in river current as a regular jigs. It probably gets beaten up on a stop and go retrieve dragging on the bottom. River bottom mostly gravel with scattered rocks with some weed beds. On the south side of the bridge where I fish there is a big drop off from the island to the main riverbank on the mouth of the Nashwaak River that flows into the Saint John River here in Fredericton New Brunswick
Good stuff. Was just out fishing and was wondering a lot about this stuff. I don’t fish a jig much but am trying to learn it more.

As always a great video and I find myself coming straight to you when I want to learn something new. I'm more confident in my setup now too. I use almost everything identical just a different brand of rod.
I would definitely down size if your fishing from the bank however.
@@BassGeek I'm looking at the Trashmaster jigs. I use the SK Bitsy Bug jigs now.

Funny this video pops up after I caught my first bass on a jig earlier today
LOL Well congrats!
Great content....I creek/river smallie fish, use 6' rod w 1/4oz Texas rig jig..crush em...if u don't have the cash for sev rods u can still jig for fatties.
Oh yeah. The set up you are using on the smaller jigs will work perfect.
I bank fish and take my boat out from time to time amd always carry atleast 5 combos setup with the 5 most thrown setups 😂😂
Hey 5 good combos are all you need to fish any tournament.
I get shit for bank fishing with a tackle bag and 5 combos but i always end up giving my friends stuff they need and letting them use a combo when they birdsnest theirs 😂😂
