Hey BG, I have to tell you, I subscribe to several bass fishing channels. I only recently found yours - you are right up with the very, very best. I really enjoy your teaching style. Thanks Brother.
Thank you sir. I hope you stick around for a long time. Now I can get long winded (cause I love the geek side of fishing) I do work full time so I wish all my video's where on the water or just better but some well suck. hahaahaha I do the best I can with the time I have So hang in there and I promise I'll keep working to get better.
Always informative! I love those jigs as well. Years ago I used to buy those River 2 Sea football jigs that didn't have a weed guard and I added a hitch hiker just like the Trash Master to make them weedless. My hands like to cramp up on me so I find it easier to take off the hitch hiker, screw it in the bait then clip it back on the jig. Solid video brother! 👊💪
That is an excellent idea! I will be installing the screw locks into some trailers tonight. Labeling a new "Ready to Go Trailers" box in a few minutes. Will save me a lot of time and help me avoid that occasional poke from the hook. Thanks, TackleJunky81!
Thank you or an excellent presentation on a no nonsense jig. I’m so tired of exposed hooks on fishing gear. A guarantee to get snagged and lose an expensive lure. That’s the reason I refuse to purchase a Jackhammer. Keep the videos coming.
Good stuff Hank. Very helpful when you show actually how to rig instead of just saying "I like to put this on that." I have a lot of docks, logs, and stumps close to me so I will try these out.
Great walk through on the pitching jig. I picked up a couple trashmasters and look forward to putting your insights to action during the late summer from the bank. Thank you Hank!
Need to pick me up some of those. Thanks brotha appreciate you. Here in New Mexico we have no choice sometimes but to fish the drainage canals and they are full of trash. This jig will be a game changer here in N.M. 🤜🏽💥🤛🏽
Congratulations on your 1st jig fish! The jig is a powerful weapon bc it's so versatile but you have to stick with it. practice, and use it as many ways as you can and you'll always have one tied on!!
@@jaredkemperfishing agreed there i hardly ever used one then one day i decided i was gonna learn how to use one or else so took every rod i had in my boat out and had the day of my life now there's never a day on the water i don't have one in my hand now love them that first one on a jig i will never forget. Working on a swim jig now lol.
I don't believe I missed this one . I picked up a bunch of those jigs last year. I loke them alot . I like the blue craw color or magic craw . That green pumpkin with the bkue irradesant . The heavier sizes are great for getting a swimjig down deeper and keeping it down . Hope all is well man.
I used to throw jigs all the time cause they catch big fish. But got real tired of hanging up so this is something I'm gonna buy. An alternative I've done real good on is a replacement skirt over a d-bomb or craw trailer . Very inexpensive and you can change colors or weights as you wish. On a side note I don't use punch skirts because they damage my line to much.
A 100% weedless jig? Even with a weed guard on a traditional jig I seem to get hung up a lot. Definitely will give these a try. Thanks as always for the good info!
Good information on the jig's! I liked it! I use the Nutech jig's mostly because they come through just about anything without getting Hung up! But will be trying these also!
Love the jig videos! Just about to post one too thanks to you. I FINALLY got a jig bite on this certain lake near me which is heavily pressured. Thanks for all your help! NEW sub! *thumps up*
Hank, still wish you were a trout fisherman and able to pass along all of your knowledge on those buggers, but love the vids man! Inland bass season will be open where I am soon enough, and I'll be armed! Great video!
Changing that screw lock keeper out to one with a center pin would help a lot. The screws without a center pin are a pain in the ass, especially with oily baits.
I've been using this jig for abut a year now. I do like it. It's definitely more weedless. The hook still has a tendency to work through the plastic but not as badly as a flipping hook does. The business end pf the hook is like an EWG superline hook, but the point is a little more angled out. For this reason, I feel the need to bury the hook point in the plastic. This can result on missed strikes. I've set the hook hard on a fish before and not even gotten the hook through the plastic. I'm still using the first one I opened because it's that weedless.
i like to take the twist lock off and then put it to the bait then clip it back on. works better for me. since iv started watching you now you got me wanting to flip ..
Appreciate the detailed rigging. Would love to see you and ARCasting collab on Lake X. Get him out of Michigan and away from that mysterious crane workplace-Big fan of both of “youse guys!”👊🏻😀
Just ordered a buttload of these on Karl’s thanks to your video. Club membership plus first responders discount made them almost as cheap as some off label Walmart jigs 🤙🏻 I can’t wait to try them out soon!
BassGeek bro, I just love how this channel has grown. Seeing that you have made it this far keeps me inspired. You’ve put in that work. I appreciate you bro 👊🏾
Heck yeah I love this jig man it truly is a game changer great video brother thank you for all the amazing content looking forward to the next one 👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Hank you know I love my jigs! I'm gonna have to get me some Trashmasters they look good! Have u ever tried taking the screwlock off to put it in then snap it on? just wondering if it would be easier? Bass Munitions sure has a lot of great looking stuff, I've gotta place an order over on Richard's site for sure. I will be sure to use your link brother!!
Question: when pulling a jig over a log, what's the best way to do so without catching it? I don't mean necessarily the round part of the log. I got caught up on a piece of log that used to have a branch or something, so it was kinda jagged. I tried to hop it over and even with weedguard it got stuck immediately. Luckily it was real close to the bank and I dislodged it with a tree branch.
So most of the time as you are dragging a jig over something you will feel it begin to get heavier. As soon as you notice that drop the rod tip and give it a quick upward jerk. Most of the time it will hop over the obstacle. I would also recommend fanning the weed guard instead of cutting it. Fan the weed guard side to side so that it becomes wide and flat. So even when it rolls over the weed guard will keep it from getting to the hook. Other than that you will lose jigs. It's just gonna happen.
Great video BG. I stumbled onto these jigs about a year ago watching a video from another youtuber. Im glad u are showing us and discussing info on these jigs. Im a bank fisberman and Ill tell u what, i dont get snagged much, like other jigs i used to use. I like them! "Like it if u like it" 😁
I’ve just gotten some and cannot wait to fish it . My question is; is it better to go straight braid or braid to fluro. I appreciate your time and love your video’s thank you sir!
PB&J. Is my favorite along with green pumpkin. I flip allot of grass in my home lake and a jig I can only pitch and flip in light grass and rock. I'll look into this jig reminds me of a punch rig. But made for everything
I prefer a jointed shakey head jig this time of year because the ability to cover more water quickly and when you find some fish you can slow down and work the bait just like a jig except not get hung up near as often as compared to a fixed jig head. Strike king jointed jig head's are the go to search bait you can reel like a crankbait and work like a jig both, give it try you'll be shocked how many fish you catch, just remember when they hit it just keep reeling and roll into the strike with a smooth swing not a abrupt hook set as most fish will just load up on it instead of the more aggressive thump .
I like the tungsun swing head from Strike King a little better because you can pick the hook you want to use. It's a lot more diverse. Plus the jointed jig heads keep the line tie on the bottom and it roughs up the line and knot more than the strike king tungsten swing head. It's a football head which keeps the knot away from the rock or other bottom structure. The tungsten is much smaller if you are fishing say a 3/4 or 1oz deep and it transmits bottom contact so much better than lead.
what you're saying is true if you were using the bait strictly for a jig type situation where you're constantly working The jig on the bottom. I'm cranking The jig like a moving bait. Then only working the jig periodically when I find fish. I do agree the tungsten does have a better feel and I will consider putting a few of those in my tackle, but I haven't had any trouble out of the one's I'm using yet but I do see your point and it makes sense. I still like swimming my jointed jig it finds fish and is low pressure .
Another great video my friend thank you. I’ve asked several guys on the RUclips about how Fish actually bite a jig, do they hit it moving or just suck it right off the bottom.?? I can’t seem to get a straight answer Lol and I’m new yo the Jig and actually think I only have 2 Jigs so far. Semper Fidelis my Friend
Just depends on the bass. Some will just suck it in. Others will hit it on the drop and moving. If other bass are in the area they will suck it in and swim away from the group.
@@BassGeek THANK YOU my friend and that’s exactly what I needed to know. I’m used to Cats just grabbing my Bait and just easily swimming off with it slowly lol
Great video Hank! That jig really works well around heavy cover. Got mine in a MTB also lol. Keep up the great tips and advice buddy! #BGN You always rock! 👍
Typically a jointed jig head is meant to be pulled along the bottom and never stop reeling for the most part but for some of those guys out there that describes difficulty making a jig part of their arsenal, I would say you might try working a jointed jig head like a regular jig and see if you see a difference these jointed jigs have alot more action and they don't tend to get hung up in rocks nearly as much as a regular fixed jig does.
This isn't a wobble head. I love a wobble head or as you call it a jointed jig head but this jig is not that. I do agree that using a wobble head in place of a regular jig would be a great tool to learn.
Absolutely suberb content for us average anglers who love to fish but dont have bottomless pockets Love theres no hype or BS just what works that can keep your luer costs affordable For about 10-12 years now been using a very small drop of (now) Gorilla glue crazy glue applied to my hook eye or where it works best on a jig or jig head after I rig up to keep my soft plastics in place on a jig or hook Works 10x better than I ever thought it would and literally Im taking very small beed of crazy glue. I will not fish soft plastics without using crazy glue if done correctly your soft plastic can not come loose ball up on your hook adversely affecting your odds of getting a good hook set or missing setting a hook set on a fish all together. A little squeeze bottle stores great in my fishing vest and lasts from ice out to ice up
Like to hear you explain weather around spawn. Got a full moon in couple days and you would think things are gonna heat up. But, got a tournament day or two after full moon and they are now predicting 30 degrees Saturday morning. Water temp was 67 yesterday and really scared fish are gonna get fickle. Do fronts effect them that much when it’s time for them to be on bed? Like your videos
Any will do I just hit the local tackle shop most times (because I can never remember the exact size) so I know'em when I see'em. Not there is nothing wrong with the screw lock on the jig I just like more bite or grip on the soft plastic.
I don't think you need a longer keeper. I actually will trim my screw lock keepers on my swimbait hooks because it increases the gap and therefore you have more hookups.
Perfect timing again Hank. Im trying to teach myself to pitch or flip docks. My tournament partner is an ace and puts it 6 ft back with 6 inches or less of clearence. Cant figure if i like holding the bait and releasing or swinging it. Practicing on open water and trying to pick spots. I usually cast a jig and my set up is a 7 5" NRX with a Bantam mgl so hasnt been to forgiving for learning the dock pitch. Great video. Like the jig and will grab some for sure. Any tips on pitching from the Bass Geek? Whens my frickin t shirt get here Hank? U make those things in the Canary Islands? Lol!
i stand in my boat when i'm home and not fishing stand some concrete blocks up and put wood on top and flip under it the better i got at it i would lower the wood down a hole till i could get it way back took a lot of practice but it worked for me a roll pitch works better for me under docks than the swing pitch but practice a lot maybe that will help when i am not around my boat i use the tailgate of my truck and same blocks hope that helps some.
I believe your link to the trashmaster jig is Amazon and is priced @ $6.99. I just looked on Tackle Warehouse, they have them and are cheaper. Just a friendly heads up is all. Get videos, keep them coming.

Changing that screw lock keeper out to one with a center pin would help a lot. The screws without a center pin are a pain in the ass, especially with oily baits.
Yes. I love the center pins. Thanks.
Very similar to the old Renosky rattling bug! Caught a ton on those old baits!
Nice I'll have to look into that.
Oh yea I will look for those jigs, thanks for sharing the info.
Thank you sir. Good luck and I hope you like'em as much as I do.
This has become my favorite flipping jig.
It does 2 things great. Flip and swim through cover. I really like it.
I got me a few , and cannot wait to try these

Typically a jointed jig head is meant to be pulled along the bottom and never stop reeling for the most part but for some of those guys out there that describes difficulty making a jig part of their arsenal, I would say you might try working a jointed jig head like a regular jig and see if you see a difference these jointed jigs have alot more action and they don't tend to get hung up in rocks nearly as much as a regular fixed jig does.
This isn't a wobble head. I love a wobble head or as you call it a jointed jig head but this jig is not that. I do agree that using a wobble head in place of a regular jig would be a great tool to learn.
Got to get me a few of these jigs
Hope you love'em as much as I do.
New subscriber great video thanks man
Thanks! Welcome to BassGeekNation
Honestly with these I prefer not expose the hook at all. Rig the plastic punch style. I’ve still gotten great hook penetration.
I go back an forth. If im in heavy cover I don't tex-spose I like it both ways.
Trashmaster Jigs are Fire!
I think so.
I gotta get me some of those. You know how much I love to flip.
hahahaha I know. Me to though.
good job putting trailer on. I would gotten bloody. just my style. LOL
Thanks!
Believe it or not, I use the techniques learned in your videos for inshore grouper fishing with great success. XD
Man now that’s cool
I’ve got a few myself. Last count was 35. 👍🏻 My Fav. Is PB&J.
DANG BRO! Noice.
Man this jig looks hella good.
It's a great jig.
Gotta try some of these jigs
They sure are different. Almost 100% snag free.
BassGeek the bluegill color looked sweet
Great jig setup
It's killer.
Absolutely suberb content for us average anglers who love to fish but dont have bottomless pockets
Love theres no hype or BS just what works that can keep your luer costs affordable
For about 10-12 years now been using a very small drop of (now) Gorilla glue crazy glue applied to my hook eye or where it works best on a jig or jig head after I rig up to keep my soft plastics in place on a jig or hook
Works 10x better than I ever thought it would and literally Im taking very small beed of crazy glue.
I will not fish soft plastics without using crazy glue if done correctly your soft plastic can not come loose ball up on your hook adversely affecting your odds of getting a good hook set or missing setting a hook set on a fish all together.
A little squeeze bottle stores great in my fishing vest and lasts from ice out to ice up
I use it but I hate it
Nice tutorial!
Thank you very much.
Ordered 4 ... Will let you know how it goes in PA 😁
WOW Let me know what ya think.
Great Review Steve Parks is the man
YES HE IS! Thank you.
Like to hear you explain weather around spawn. Got a full moon in couple days and you would think things are gonna heat up. But, got a tournament day or two after full moon and they are now predicting 30 degrees Saturday morning. Water temp was 67 yesterday and really scared fish are gonna get fickle. Do fronts effect them that much when it’s time for them to be on bed? Like your videos
Once they are on the bed if a cold front comes no. If it comes before they are committed they will pull off and suspend.
Sort of my thought, thanks. Tournament I’m fishing Saturday is a USA next generation. Taking a friends 15 year old who is a stick
Are you matching trailer to jig color
Most of the time. I also like to miss match. Give'em something just a little different.
Where do you buy your replacement screw-locks from?
Any will do I just hit the local tackle shop most times (because I can never remember the exact size) so I know'em when I see'em. Not there is nothing wrong with the screw lock on the jig I just like more bite or grip on the soft plastic.
How do you decide when to tip your bait with Chartreuse or Red etc
Shew that's a whole video in and of it's self. Simply If the gills are up shallow you see them Chartreuse if they are feeding on craws red or orange.
I don't think you need a longer keeper. I actually will trim my screw lock keepers on my swimbait hooks because it increases the gap and therefore you have more hookups.
Not longer wider is what I like. It just gets a little better grip.
Will pickerel in the winter months go for it????
Absolutely.
Excellent
Thank you!
Perfect timing again Hank. Im trying to teach myself to pitch or flip docks. My tournament partner is an ace and puts it 6 ft back with 6 inches or less of clearence. Cant figure if i like holding the bait and releasing or swinging it. Practicing on open water and trying to pick spots. I usually cast a jig and my set up is a 7 5" NRX with a Bantam mgl so hasnt been to forgiving for learning the dock pitch. Great video. Like the jig and will grab some for sure. Any tips on pitching from the Bass Geek? Whens my frickin t shirt get here Hank? U make those things in the Canary Islands? Lol!
hahahaha You know that's one video I don't think I've ever done is a pitching video. I need to. LOL Covid man . lol
i stand in my boat when i'm home and not fishing stand some concrete blocks up and put wood on top and flip under it the better i got at it i would lower the wood down a hole till i could get it way back took a lot of practice but it worked for me a roll pitch works better for me under docks than the swing pitch but practice a lot maybe that will help when i am not around my boat i use the tailgate of my truck and same blocks hope that helps some.
Would you say the this jig would come through brush piles because I can never get a jig through brush piles so I always throw a worm or lizard?
Yes. I have tossed the dang thing in the trees and pulled it out like it was nothing. I mean the trees on the bank. lol
What size screw lock pin by owner
The medium or the large
I believe your link to the trashmaster jig is Amazon and is priced @ $6.99. I just looked on Tackle Warehouse, they have them and are cheaper. Just a friendly heads up is all.
Get videos, keep them coming.
Where ever you can get'em.
Thank you
No thank you.
