Neither did I until this year. I almost fished a jig exclusively all season long and have broke my PB twice with large mouth and got a new on pb small mouth also on the jig. Now I can’t put it down…. Once you get bit a few good times you won’t want to fish another lure 😂. I love jigs now
Man, you're one of the more informational people I've watched. Awesome video! I have remained absolutely invested in finesse jig fishing man, I've caught so many on them it's ridiculous. A brown jig with purple or red flake, and a green pumpkin purple trailer has been a go to since I gained confidence.
Growing up I personally have never given a S about a jig. After watching your video I did some research and found that todays jigs are amazing. So many colors and styles. Anyways, I've been hitting 3 ponds close to my house here in central Ohio. For the 3rd day in a row I have gone out and caught 1-3lb bass every day using a beautiful pbj buckeye lures jig. I went from never using them to making them my most go to lure. They look so pretty all set up with a nice bait cast. Throw it way out, let it drop then wait 5 seconds and you get someone's attention. Thank you so much for making me a believer of these and giving them the respect, they deserve because they work!
Back in January this year I finally decided to buy a jig ( it was a casting jig) because i never used one before and I pitched right next to a seawall on the rocks and ended up catching a 4lb bass as my first ever bass on a jig
I just bought a few jigs after watching your amazing channel. I haven’t been out try them, but this was helpful. Keep up the great videos and God bless!
Thank you for posting another jig video!!! I’ve watched all of your jig videos and absolutely love it when you post videos with them. Great work keep it up!!!
This is exactly why I watch Tyler. Starting throwing a jig this summer with minimal success. Only caught a few. Didn’t realize I was supposed to have a trailer on the jig!!🤦🏽♂️I will be out tomorrow morning with a big ole craw on there. Thanks Tyler!!
I’ve been a diehard rubber worm bass fisherman for forty and racked up some big ones, but I’m always looking to try something new. Very informative video. Thank you.
You are right Tyler,I've heard my whole life that the jig is an almighty killer as far as bass fishing is concerned, however I've been an avid angler my whole life but never gained confidence in a jig...maybe it's just that the bite comes differently than other baits
I literally caught a 5 pound bass on a jig in the first week I bought one! I was looking for a video to get better with the jig and I probably watched 5 videos on the jig from your Channel. Thanks for the vid!
Great info Tyler! I’m gonna buy some jigs from your links before my next fishing weekend for sure. Can’t wait to figure them out with awesome info. Keep it up man, you’re doing an awesome job!!!
@@TylersReelFishing after I made this comment, I caught my PB at 4.1lb second flip, really loving this technique and it’s made me more comfortable with my baitcaster
Caught my PB on a black and blue football jig mid winter. I havent used jigs much since then but im going to try and fish mostly jigs for a whike to get a better feel for them. Thanks for the info!
Got a green pumpkin strike king bitsy flip jig and some green pumpkin yum craw chunks for 5 bux total at walmart on clearance. They have been slamming the green pumpkin wacky worm for me but I've seen guys in bass boats throwing jigs along the sides of the river so I'm gonna give it a try! Your videos taught me how to rig it up and how to fish it so I have a feeling I'll catch some fish tomorrow on it! I just hope my heavier spinning rod can set the hook! Gonna get a baitcast for next season and learn that but in the meantime might as well try it anyway!
Update: Went out and caught 6 Largemouth on the jig! I lost 1 fish at the boat and had a few nibble bites I missed but it worked great! I went back to walmart and bought the rest of the jigs and crawfish! haha
I typically use a T-rig being a bank angler but I have caught a bass on a jig. It was a Strike King. Can't remember if it was the bitsy bug or the other little inexpensive one they make but I do remember that it was black and brown with a black and red Zoom UV speed craw and I was pretty excited about it. Nothing crazy, maybe a pound to pound and a half but it was the coolest thing because I had zero confidence in anything happening other than loosing the jig, which I did a few casts later but it was still pretty awesome.
Nice video! The jig has worked its way up in my arsenal quite a bit over the past year. I feel these tips may offer a 9x improvement in fish quantity, 10x may be too much 😜
New to freshwater fishing. This videos are gold. Thanks man. I just got a shimano slx dc 150 xg combo with a 7'2 mh rod. What lb braid should I put on this thing for all kings of fishing in FL freshwater. Suffix or PPro ? Thanks.
Great vid Tyler! During the hot summer do you go w the football to get the bass at the bottom? I’m getting skunked right now and may try that to get the ones laying around in the 10 ft range!
I have considering trying out some flurocarbon line on one of my baitcasters, and was thinking about trying seagar. Which would prefer. I've seen multiple different types, red label, gold label etc.
Red label is one of the cheapest but pretty durable. Tatsu is the most expensive and just has best material. I use basix for my pond setups and I change it every few months, I use invizex on my boat setups and change it every 6 months to a year. If you do end up trying some, make sure to purchase through my tackle warehouse links in the video description if you can 👍🏼
@@TylersReelFishing ok thank you. I just bought a couple 1/2oz flipping jigs today. I want to try them out and see how they do. I bought a black and blue one and a fire craw one. As of now, the rod combo I'm using is a lews mach crush speed spool, 7.5:1 gear ratio on a 7ft MH fast action rod with 20lb power pro braid.
I've been binging on your info...thanks! I've caught some decent sized bass on tiny hooks and I'm learning to understand frogs and hooksets better. Caught my first few bass on a jig from your tips and a buddy on the pond...all great advice, thanks! Googan fan here, though...PB has been theirs, and my Moby Dick has my Googan jig awaiting my retrieval....call me Ishmael.
I suck with the jig but I’m keeping with it. Mostly grass lake. Maybe should try the swim to get confidence. Have one set up on my frog rod, not taking off until I catch some.
My son and I just started fishing and we were out a local spot by some docks and I threw a jig on (mainly because I have no idea what I'm doing and just wanted to get a feel for all our new gear) and caught a small perch. No trailer/tail on it. Is that normal? Do Perch like jigs as well or was this one just desperate?
Idk if you will see this but I was watching a chad Hoover video about jigs and making sure that your rod was fast or super fast so that your jig was not jumping too far over cover under water I was curious what you thought about this I’ve been playing around with it and I see what he means when the tip is more soft when you pop it over cover then it’s more like a spring but when you get the hook set then it keeps them pinned better so it’s kind of a toss up
Only have a 30 year old Shimano 6ft medium rod and a 3000 size spinning reel from my dad and I used to only throw wacky rig but now I ONLY throw jigs and even though it’s 6ft tiny spinning rod I have caught 15 bass they have been under 2 lbs but I haven’t missed one yet 😂 I just watch if my line moves and then I hook set
Ok, this is just my newbie stupidity asking but what’s the easiest way to learn the bait that’s in the lake you’re fishing? Just figure out what other fish there are in the lake? I’m fairly new to this but am absolutely falling in love with it. 😁🎣
The best way is to use your eyes, at different times of the day, and the year when the forage is active. You should also use as much Internet research as you can, and is available, and ask people who fish around you what they have learned about the forage in your body of Water
@@TylersReelFishing awesome! Thanks Tyler, you’re the man! Again, I’m super glad I found your channel. Very personable and explain things to where even I can understand and apply them. We have a lot of lakes up here in Washington state so I’ll just do a little research. You’re the man!!!
Hi Big T big fan here but I have a question do you do videos for truscend lures if so I swa you in a video if not um go see it I saves it well keep being you awesome A+ angler
Best fishing advice channel on RUclips. Idk how you don’t have 3 million subscribers yet. I used to only fish for catfish, but I’ve gotten into bass fishing hard this year thanks to your channel and a couple others. Thanks for all your advice Tyler!
Really anything works on em, depending on the depth! A jerkbait over the whole thing can usually tell you if there are fish there, and if you should slow down with a bottom bait
#saved. hi it's me again. lol. Just got back from 10hours of fishing and one fish. I think I'm the problem lol. idt I know how to use a jig well. I'll let you know tomorrow lol. Thanks for the free HD tutorial
i wanna see tyler fish out my local pond, no matter the technique or lure i use i can maybe pull out a quarter pounder or a 2 every now and again, its an insanely difficult pond
I recommend any quarry pond that is open to the public. There’s a half dozen out by where I live and they’re full of 3-5 pounders since people tend to not eat them out of dirty ponds.
TYLERREELFISHING I'm a teen, but I'm only 5,6ft hopefully still growing, And a 7ft Through 7,6 rod just seems to long for me. I was hoping you could help me get the right rod without having to buy a couple of them to try. Do you have any advice?
It’s not too long for you, trust me. A longer rod will help you get further casts and better hookup ratios. Get the combo I have linked in the video description, or anything by Mach, and you’ll be set 👍🏼
It might be a little to pricey for me, I was hoping for a combo for between 100 and 150, but I definitely will be thinking about it, Also I fish a lake where the biggest bass I've caught is the 5 pounder, would the medium heavy be overdoing it? Also should I get 7ft or 7,3? Whatever you say I'll give it a try! Thanks for the advice!
I have caught lots of fish in Florida on a jig. Go lighter like 3/8, and swim it above the vegetation. Unless it’s “snot” grass, you should be able to hop the jig around the grass
I am not sure why, but almost fishing RUclipsrs fail to mention one thing about jigs. They talk about casting a 1/2 oz jig, but fail to mention that the bait they will cast is more like 3/4 or even 1 oz after the trailer is added.
You’re right about that. But that’s a fact that I don’t think really matters. Unless you’re one to push the weight range your rod can handle, which I don’t. I throw my jigs on MH and H power rods
I guess I just pay too much attention to the actual weight of a lure. As far as the weight rating of a rod, as Matt with TB says, it is only a suggestion. @@TylersReelFishing
I will always stop what I’m doing for a jig video. What is your favorite brand jig? There are so many-I have a Buckeye Mop Jig tied on after finding more brands locally. Be blessed.
I have been with OutKast tackle jigs for 5 years. Amazing small company out of Minnesota that truly makes some fantastic jigs. Check em out in the video description👍🏼
I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well ruclips.net/user/postUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e , except that the anti-backlash setting had to be turned up almost all of the way to keep the "overcasts' ' down. I disassembled it, and found that if I potted some "shim washers" behind that anti-backlash magnet assembly, it got the magnets closer to the spool without rubbing, and I could get better control with about a 6 to 7 out out 10-Max setting. I also noticed that the handle shaft had some internal end play, maybe only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch, but it's still noticeable. If the anti-backlash and shaft tolerances were "tightened up" this would be a fantastic value. I've only used it for 4 days of fishing in a month's time, but I plan on keeping it.
I don’t trust the connection knot on line that size. I trust it on small line like 15lb braid to 10lb fluoro. I just don’t tie a good enough FG to go from 40lb braid to 17lb flouro
I have never caught a fish on a jig really wanting to get into it
This video will help!
Neither did I until this year. I almost fished a jig exclusively all season long and have broke my PB twice with large mouth and got a new on pb small mouth also on the jig. Now I can’t put it down…. Once you get bit a few good times you won’t want to fish another lure 😂. I love jigs now
I caught my pb on a swim jig after watching Tyler a few months ago
I love a good swim jig
It took me forever to get the feel for it but now I’ve caught a few I am hooked. It’s usually my first go to especially on a overcast day.

That is awesome!

That’s my whole goal! I want you to feel more confident and equipped to go do it yourself

Excellent timing tyler. I could never. And I mean, NEVER. Catch bass on a jig. And I was about to give up on it until this video. Thank you so much.
Don’t give up! Make this the time you decide to commit now
New subscriber have gone back and pretty much watched all of your older videos really? Enjoyed your college fishing tournament videos.
Thanks for the sub!
Set my PB up here in NEPA on a jig a month ago all because i watched your videos a couple years ago. 7.32 lb behemoth! Always a pleasure!

You young man have explained your points about jig fishing better than most.
This was very informative, and now I want to go jig fishing .
Glad it was helpful!
I wasn't into jigs for the longest time, and now i love them. i have caught so many bass on them and ended up getting my pb on it
They are PB catchers that’s for sure!
Was that my Boy?!? The jig’s up 😂😂
I’ve started to fish a jig and watching your videos have made me a better fisherman thanks for this videos.
Heck yeah! Love that
Never really use a jig but decided to only throw it last night and i caught roughly 15-20 bass. Definitely changed my mind on it.
Heck yeah! Love to hear that
Thank you for the help I used your advice and the fish were crushing my jig. Wasn’t throwing them much before but now I love ‘em.
Glad it helped!
the setting of this video and the lighting was the best. Must have been a little overcast. Do more from this dock! Excellent explanation.

You’ll get that confidence soon!
@@TylersReelFishingthank you Tyler! What's your favorite color to throw this summer?
my #1 lure, i need to get confidence on texas rig. I’m basically backwards, i think learning this first will make my texas rig game stronger.
Bought a flipping jig, never knew how to flip or pitch, learned in 5 minutes, caught 5 bass that day with it, so pumped at learning this technique
Heck yeah!
@@TylersReelFishing after I made this comment, I caught my PB at 4.1lb second flip, really loving this technique and it’s made me more comfortable with my baitcaster

They are an all year round bait! Never take it out of your rotation 👍🏼
Another great tip video Tyler love your channel i have been watching a long time
I appreciate that!
A Texas rig worm used to be my favorite way of fishing till I gained confidence in the jig. It is by far my favorite way to fish now.
It just gets a bigger bite for sure
Got a green pumpkin strike king bitsy flip jig and some green pumpkin yum craw chunks for 5 bux total at walmart on clearance. They have been slamming the green pumpkin wacky worm for me but I've seen guys in bass boats throwing jigs along the sides of the river so I'm gonna give it a try!

I just bought the lews mach crush. Can't wait to get it in. I may have been suckered in because I like how it looks but I will see.
I have a bunch of jigs I haven't had luck on, hopefully this changes that!
I am confident it will!
Couldn’t ask for a more perfect video!
Always amazing content Tyler. Thank you!

Thanks Tyler! I am new to bass fishing and I am loving the content!
Glad to hear it!
I typically use a T-rig being a bank angler but I have caught a bass on a jig. It was a Strike King. Can't remember if it was the bitsy bug or the other little inexpensive one they make but I do remember that it was black and brown with a black and red Zoom UV speed craw and I was pretty excited about it. Nothing crazy, maybe a pound to pound and a half but it was the coolest thing because I had zero confidence in anything happening other than loosing the jig, which I did a few casts later but it was still pretty awesome.
Nice video! The jig has worked its way up in my arsenal quite a bit over the past year. I feel these tips may offer a 9x improvement in fish quantity, 10x may be too much 😜
I’d say 10x is too low, realistically these tips increase by 73x but I didn’t wanna be facetious
😢W😅😅😮

Great vid Tyler! During the hot summer do you go w the football to get the bass at the bottom? I’m getting skunked right now and may try that to get the ones laying around in the 10 ft range!
Yes, the football deep, or the cage under docks
Swinging swim jigs are pretty sweet.
I have considering trying out some flurocarbon line on one of my baitcasters, and was thinking about trying seagar. Which would prefer. I've seen multiple different types, red label, gold label etc.

Can you use this jig in environment that has a lot of lily pad or grass without getting hang up?
What about using a paddle tail or fluke for a swim jig, if so wouldn't that be three trailers?
Awesome video brotha.

Yep! Search “TylersReelFishing swimbait”

As long as it’s somewhat cylindrical, it can be a swim jig

heading out tomorrow morning using the jig with a trailer. Let’s see how it goes 😅
You got it!
Am I just fishing it wrong, or does the jig head paint always come off? How do you deal with that?
You must have a bad jig. I’ve never had bad paint issues with Outkast jigs
I’m using the OutKast juice jig
It also happens with my thunder cricket

On topic of hard hooksets my buddy caught his bass ever and it was on a jig his hookset wasn’t even a hookset he just started reeling faster lol
Like I said, you CAN hook em on it with a little hookset, it’s just gonna be harder
I need to get confident on jig fishing
I want to catch one on a jig but here in Florida there’s so much vegetation and the bottom is so muddy and weedy, makes it near impossible
I have caught lots of fish in Florida on a jig. Go lighter like 3/8, and swim it above the vegetation. Unless it’s “snot” grass, you should be able to hop the jig around the grass
Another video!!!
Anotha one
I am not sure why, but almost fishing RUclipsrs fail to mention one thing about jigs. They talk about casting a 1/2 oz jig, but fail to mention that the bait they will cast is more like 3/4 or even 1 oz after the trailer is added.
You’re right about that. But that’s a fact that I don’t think really matters. Unless you’re one to push the weight range your rod can handle, which I don’t. I throw my jigs on MH and H power rods
I guess I just pay too much attention to the actual weight of a lure. As far as the weight rating of a rod, as Matt with TB says, it is only a suggestion. @@TylersReelFishing
I will always stop what I’m doing for a jig video. What is your favorite brand jig?
There are so many-I have a Buckeye Mop Jig tied on after finding more brands locally.
Be blessed.
I have been with OutKast tackle jigs for 5 years. Amazing small company out of Minnesota that truly makes some fantastic jigs. Check em out in the video description👍🏼
@@TylersReelFishing I’m on a quest to find the best jig for me so thank you, I’ll order me a few to try out.
Be blessed.
GYOOOOOOOOOSH!
That’s the spirit!
I’m a saltwater bass fisherman here and was wondering why more freshwater bass fisherman don’t use braid with a flourocarbon leader
Because you don’t need to. One more connection that can fail
Never use a chunk type trailer?
Not much
I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well ruclips.net/user/postUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e , except that the anti-backlash setting had to be turned up almost all of the way to keep the "overcasts' ' down. I disassembled it, and found that if I potted some "shim washers" behind that anti-backlash magnet assembly, it got the magnets closer to the spool without rubbing, and I could get better control with about a 6 to 7 out out 10-Max setting. I also noticed that the handle shaft had some internal end play, maybe only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch, but it's still noticeable. If the anti-backlash and shaft tolerances were "tightened up" this would be a fantastic value. I've only used it for 4 days of fishing in a month's time, but I plan on keeping it.
You said "wire" more than once. Do you mean the hook diameter?
Yes
Thanks.@@TylersReelFishing
I still have yet to catch a fish on a jig.
Follow these tips and you will!
i see in most your bait casters you use looks like florocarbon instead of braid to floro why is that
I don’t trust the connection knot on line that size. I trust it on small line like 15lb braid to 10lb fluoro. I just don’t tie a good enough FG to go from 40lb braid to 17lb flouro
First again
