Jigs are one of the best lures because you can fish the super shallow super deep, in clear water and muddy water, fast and slow, on the bottom or swimming. You can do everything with a jig and it can mimic a bluegill, crawfish, shad or anything other object a bass eats.
In this video I want to go in depth when it comes to fishing a jig!
BassFishingHQ is dedicated to teaching people how to catch more and bigger bass. I will go over different bass fishing tips & techniques that will put more fish in the boat or on the shore. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned tournament angler, my goal is to help you catch more bass.

This is the best and most comprehensive tutorials on jig fishing I've seen on RUclips including all the variables involved. Must watch especially for those newer to the technique. Well done man.
Absolutely!
Was going to say the same thing very well done and straight to the point
This might be his best video to date , this and his thermocline breakdown video are priceless

Agreed 100%
Thank you Tyler! I have tried jigs occasionally over the past 40 years but never could figure them out. Truthfully I got frustrated and never gave them a chance. A few casts here and there and then tie something else on. After watching a couple of your previous jig videos a few months back I decided that I was going to catch bass on a jig, no matter what. I put 2 rods on the boat with a jig on both. Took a few spares and trailers with me and nothing else. Spent the day casting until I finally caught one. That was back in late August. I have been burning them up on jigs ever since, experimenting with different retrieves, yesterday was an awesome jig day. Mid October I topped 8 pounds (my PB) for the first time ever! I am now obsessed with them after being so frustrated for many years. Simply put, I had to MAKE myself do it! Now this video, the icing on the cake! Thanks again Tyler!!!
Same here
Man u hit my past story on thr head here. Sane thing kinda. Got my different lures and diffrent RB POWER CRAWS. IVE caught more big bass than anything. I never caught any thing but that way rocks for me so much I'm ready to do exactly what u do. Happy fishing!!
I did the same with a chatterbait. Now it's my go to. I am going to do the same thing with a jig.
If men tried as hard to understand their wives as they did trying to understand fish there’d probably be a whole lot less divorces.
You're looking at this all wrong, there'd be a lot more over populated bodies of water.
I understand them both pretty poorly
Your assumption that they can be understood is the problem with most of us these days…sadly
Don't try to understand her...devorce her for a newer model you can understand. Humans.....are in fact animals.
BS! Legend has it women hav been a problem sin ce the Garden of Eden..
Summary: throw everything until something works. Then, stick with it until it stops working.
I cannot tell u the amount of biggins ive caught on a jig, top 3 bait for me
I must be doing something wrong then. I have a lifetime total of 9 fish caught on jigs. To be honest I don't fish or throw jigs as often as most fisherman do, but yea
I used to hate the jig until I put a concerted effort into fishing them. I'm a believer now.
I'm stoked on the length of these videos. All content creators acknowledge fishing being complicated but even the 30 minute videos leave a lot to be desired. Almost an hour is fantastic
It may have been a longer video, BUT it was truly LOADED WITH GOOD STUFF. Simple to comprehend and retain. Great job Tyler
You might be the best source of free information out there. I'm a tournament fisherman in Wisconsin and your technique tips translate perfectly up here. Thanks for the info!

I watched this video and went out Sunday and caught a 6.7 lb largemouth on a white jig white crawl trailer. I have tried jig fishing 100 times with nothing Thanks for the video and have patience people it will work
I can catch bass on any lure, dozens a day. Except these jigs, never caught one on these.
Wow! What an amazing, thorough video on jigs. Thank you for putting this together. Love your channel.
I am heading to Austin TX Thanksgiving weekend. I plan on throwing a jig a lot while I am there. What color and size would you suggest?
The best informative bass fishing channel on RUclips. No question. Thanks again for the content.
Great video. I have not had much luck or confidence in jig fishing so I will need to follow your advice and give it another (dedicated) try! The extensive tips in this video were quite helpful 🙏
I wasn’t gonna say anything but you clearly went after bass’s intelligence with the small brain comment.
I’m a diver and bass are the only fish that without fail will come check us out. Obviously they’re curious, salmon, steelhead, cats, sucker, carp all takeoff.
If I find a crawfish they’ll go nuts after it. Yesterday a bass swam up to me and I had a crawfish jig, a brand new one, tried to get multiple bass to eat it and they just left like they were insulted. Clearly they aren’t dumb despite the brain size!
My goal this year is to figure out jig fishing. I’ve never caught one on a standard jig.
Me either. I’ve tried them many times in my life and never gotten a hit.
Never caught 1 fish on a jig. 1
I felt the same . I decided to give it a good effort without giving up after 15 minutes, and caught 6 good ones in about an hour. Been throwing it a lot since that evening , and loving it!!
I’m still deciding between a straight swim jig, or just a standard jig. Can literally do the same thing with both. Swim jigs tend to have lighter weed guards and hook, but you can really swim any jig. And you can fish a swim jig hopping on bottom. A bass does not know the difference 🤣
Strike king bitsy flip jig in 3/8 oz can easily swim, or drag bottom. Really cheap and works great for me
You’re doing it wrong then. Sorry to say. I’m not a great angler by any standards however if you’ve never caught a fish on a jig set up there must be a good reason for that. Are you fishing your bathtub or something?
@jaiodyssea ya. In a bathtub. You were on to something until that slight.. facts are for me.. I've tried them where people say to. I've tried to flip it. It gets grass all over it... and is useless for "me" my daughter caught a 3lb bass of a jig. I'm not saying you or anyone can't catch 1.. my personal experience I haven't. I prefer wacky set up and top water.
@@dann.294bitsy jig is my go to!
This was undoubtedly the best video on bass fishing ever made. IMO. Perhaps it because I love jig fishing. I will add this, dead sticking catches a lot of big bass for me but it’s usually in really cold water with pork. I think in cold water that pork trailer matches the slow movement of other natural movements in the water. Great video!!! Thank you.
I know this video is a year old. But watching now...where is the link for exact baits being used?
well done...thanks so much.Keep 'um comming !
You nailed my fishing "type" right on the head when you mentioned a fisherman not having experience/confidence in a particular lure type. I have several hundred, if not a thousand, dollars of lures but when I get to my pond it's ALWAYS Booyah tandem spinners (yes only Booyah) or a swimbait like a Storm Wildeye Crappie. The only reason I do this is cause it's what I know and don't have the confidence to learn a new lure. You are 100% correct, I gotta get out of my comfort zone and expand my knowledge to raise my catch average. Thank you good sir, keep the educational videos comin!
A jig is my number 1 fishing lure. Flipping, swimming or dragging they always tied on.
@OveRated you will. Especially in the beginning. Buy cheap ones to start and just understand that is the learning curve till you start to understand the difference between a branch and a bite. If I lose one now it's usually hung up on someone's broken off line in the brush. Losing lures is part of fishing. But if you are not getting hung up your not fishing where the fish are
Thank you so much for this video i caught my pb on a jig and i always have one tied on
Tyler, this was just awesome, great tips and advice, appreciate you sharing with all.
50lb braid? Wtf? Are fishing for 50” stripers?
I’ve never been a good jig fisherman. But this year it’s do or die. Thanks for a real great lesson.
I would put an ewg hook on a craw and buy a skirt so your jig is weedless.
I bought 96 various Stanley jigs at a Niles, Illinois Sportmart 20 years ago on clearance for 13 cents apiece. I still have some today. I caught an 18" largemouth the other other day in my local river, flipping a brown 5/16 oz model with a Yum LBT Crawbug into pockets along a grassy cattail covered bank.
Very thorough and impressive video as always. Happy Thanksgiving blessings to you and your family
Thank you Tyler I watch your videos as much as I watch Major League fishing.
Thanks Tyler for another great video!!!
I always learn something!
Great Job! Must watch video!
I spent years being completely intimidated by jigs. Too many heads, too many trailers, didn’t know what to do with them…I just avoided them. Then one summer something clicked and I decided I was going to fish nothing but a jig until I caught something…bought a couple black and blue jigs (naturally…) and whatever trailer looked good. I don’t even remember. What I *do* remember, and quite vividly, is pulling up to a dock, lobbing it over, watching my slack line start to move off to the side, thinking “?” then swinging away on a nice little bass…on the very first cast. By the end of the first day I realized there was no magical voodoo mojo shtick. You could work it however you wanted (including swimming) and I went from not even wanting to try it to having a new confidence bait IMMEDIATELY.
Fast forward to today…I’m tying my own jigs and I have entire boxes dedicated to them. Anybody who thinks jigs are too much…just buy a 1/2 or (my personal favorite) 3/8 oz jig that appeals to you…same with the trailer…then give it a try. My experience was a fluke…expecting to catch something immediately on any bait is unrealistic and I know that I got lucky.
TLDR: Jigs aren’t intimidating at all. In some ways, they’re the easiest and most versatile baits ever devised.
can you do a video on the new berkley slobberknocker
Jig catches big bass . . .
ive spent so much money on jigs trailers etc an i can honestly count the bites ive had there are a couple of times i stood patient an fished it for hours but when your buddy catching em on a senko or speed worm and you arent getting any bites its hard to dedicate too it
is a jig just not a good florida bait maybe too much hydrilla
I can’t ever seem to use jigs effectively. Always getting hung up on something in the rocky river I fish in and lose every single jig I tie on. Tree limbs, rocks, something every single time gets me hung.. I used to catch tons of small bass on small jigs when I was a teenager but still got hung a lot. Lost a lot of fish because of the small hook size. Can’t get anything done with bigger jigs.
What type of jig works best
I love jigs and swim jigs. I love a t-rig too! The thing I’ve figured out with a t-rig is ( I don’t have issues with a hook up with a t-rig by doing this.) letting the bass have the bait longer than usual, but not to long maybe 5 seconds instead of 2 or 3 seconds. Exactly if your using a bigger soft plastic. I’ve hook so many small bass on a zoom ol monster worm by doing this. Let them swim a few more seconds with it and feeling the weight of the fish and then CRACK! Fish on!! Lol
Hi I’m Jonathan and I have a channel Fishing With Faith Outdoors to help those in the middle/south Ga areas please give it a look! God bless.
A bunch of Gems nothing but Gems!! Always great content!!
Tyler, thank you for the thorough content on fishing a jig. I’ve tried them several times over the years with no luck. The information in your video gives me the confidence to try them again this season. I think your videos are more informative than any other I’ve seen on RUclips. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
Caught my new PR opening day in Wisconsin on Saturday with a Booyah football jig with a red rage tail trailer, and it was my first ever bass on a jig. Use this video for learning the jig techniques. Tyler your advice is great for people getting into a new techniques of bass fishing! 19.5" smallie 5lbs pregnant female. Was a blast!
This is a great video for someone just getting into jigs! Thank you. I’ve been stuck on crankbaits and spinners my entire life. Recently experimented with simple jigs and worms (Texas and Ned style rigs) and have finally got bit this year after a few weeks of tryin. Just whateve I could find in my late father’s tackebox. Time to buy some more tackle!
7:10 wow I'm glad I can split my $3.29 Swimjig expense into 4 interest free payments
Fantastic Video guy, thanks!
Do you ever listen to yourself? The "I " word is your main word. If you have any credibility, such as tournament experience or just videos showing experience of catching bass, I'm sure you would display your creds. You appear to repeat what you hear in other videos, but you tell it as if you are the man with all experiences. Calm down and talk to us as if YOUAREN'T A KNOW IT ALL, PLEASE.
Me watching this video: I’ll use a jig next time I go fishing
Next time I go fishing: WACKY RIG
In all seriousness though I just recently started using jigs more and I have been catching much bigger fish than I usually do
My new idea is white and all pink jig
How do I talk with you via messaging that's one on one rather than in the chat?
I needed this video , most comprehensive jig info I've seen, last year started catching fish on jigs but hit a wall this year , unless you count a big swing head which I had a lot of success with
Amazing tutorial
I let youtube run on my second monitor while gaming but lost focus because the video was so interesting
ended up quitting it to watch the entire thing
cant wait to try jigs now
Thank you for all your jig videos. I had no confidence in a jig and thought they were a waist of time. However, after watching as many of your videos on jigs and Tyler Anderson's as well The Fluke Master I started going out on my kayak with no baits but jigs. The third time out I was disgusted that I had not caught any bass. I decided to change baits and left my jig dragging on the bottom while setting up another rod. I ended up catching an almost 3 lb bass by mistake and the light bulb went off, Now jig fishing is my favorite way to catch bass . Thank you so much!!!
The only problem with jig fishing is once i caught my first jig fish its hard to fish any other lure. I probably caught 100s of 5lb plus fish since i started fishing jigs. And my 7lb and 8lb bass were both caught on jigs. And i live up north where the bass arent known to grow like down south.
Looking for a jig with a football head. Flat bottom. Y wire weed guard
anyone still making those?
Thak for sh. In Italy we are not so "advanced" at list, not every one the are few pro fishing that way I believe . Like Luca Quintavalle. There is no such a big and great Culture about Bass. We got the bass from you America in all our fresh water relatively recent. I will try to learn so much I can and be an best as I can . (and I gonna make a video about sea fishing trout "introduction". Grazie
Samuele
Tyler, you're simply wrong. The most successful artificial is a 297 Green pumpkin sensor. That bait works anywhere in the world.
I enjoy your topics, but here I'll respectfully disagree. First, I'll say whatever works for you use it. I had a friend when I was younger that I fished with. I had my pole and my tackle box full of goodies. He had his pole and one purple 1/4 ounce rostertail. I was like hey where is your tackle box. He said i don't need one. This is what works, so it's all I need. I see what he was saying, and although I don't have a big tackle box anymore, I still enjoy catching bass with top water from time to time. What works for me anytime,cast anywhere regardless of weather, is a purple weed less Kelly stripper. I do extremely well with it. I've tried, it seems like everything over the years, and that stupid lure has caught me more bass than anything else. I keep a few of those on me and a trusty top water lure. All my other stuff in my tackle boxes stay home. That's all I need to catch big bass.
Bulk is important in a jigs profile. That's why restaurants don't offer a single French Fry on their menu.
No sir that jig is only good in freshwater however a pearl fluke or black pepper Pearl fluke will catch big mouth bass snakeheads peacock and then I can go to the ocean and catch Pompano, snook, tarpon, amberjack red and black drum all with the same bait💯🤣
Need more Weedless Rigs!! Even with Trout.. The Snagger's, lures Are not worth buying!~
Best trailer ever was the old strike king pork. NOTHING comes.close today.
Great video as always bud. Thanks for getting into detail on heavy and finesse jigs. Definitely a must in Ohio.
I agree with this i caught 2.
3 pounders in less than 10 minutes
This video is one of the best very easy to understand great job man 👏 👏
Please, here we go again. Been fishing for 60 years and you know what it takes to catch fish. FISH......... If there are no fish you dont catch any no matter what you use. I used to live by a old gravel pit the was so full of bass you could spit in the water and they would hit it. I have used nothing but a hook and caught bass that that place.
Tyler, That was a Graduate course in Jig fishing. Just incredible; I appreciate the time and effort that you put into it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. I'm stoked.
Again, the background appears like your at Indian Lake near Russell's Point Ohio.
I just cannot keep them clean when fishing through Central Florida submergents
Great quality Info Mr Sir !! Out here in the California Motherload LAkes last December I went out with a Guide ( Ryan Cook Fishing ) who is the GO TO GUY for putting you on the Fish !! I learned to throw a 1/2oz football jig in 35'-60' during fall/winter and watching this is like a great refresher course 😎👊 since then, I fish the Jig all year around !! it's my confidence Bait .... went out Monday and chased the birds spooning the suspended ones ,,jerk bait deep crankbait ⭕caught soon as I threw the Jig 17.75'' 16.5'' 1 break off in a tree and missed 3 others due to Operator Hook setting error LoL ... started swimming off with it and couldn't reel up the slack fast enough 😦 THanks for The In depth break-down of how you Get 'er Done with a Jig 🤠
And if my local ponds don't have hard bottoms or jigs, which is ideal ! Swimjigs ?
fishing a thunder cricket around docks and fallen trees . fishing a river on high tide with tide out going .allsowill fish with jigs , shollow running crank baits , worms on texas rigs .can afford one reel and one rod up to 350 dollors .which bait casting rod and reel would you pick out to use .have been useing a high speed spinning reel . even use it for skipping under docks and trees .
He uses to many descriptions that only experienced fishermen would know like yogo for example.
the size of these fish is shameful. if I have to hear “that’s a good one” on a sub-5 pounder again I’m going to lose my mind. how this dude has a channel with this caliber of fish is beyond me.
nice video, what part of the James are you fishing, looks like you are close tot he chick?
I can’t seem to ever throw a jig without getting it stuck somewhere within 5 casts
When they come out with a topwater jig, I'll be all over it. Until than it is a coldwater lure (even if it catches more, it is less fun) That said a great video, hope it becomes a series.
There's an old "joke" I heard...a top water jig is what you call a particular skin tone on water ski's. Not saying it's funny, or Im a fan, just saying the only other time I've heard the expression "top water jig"
Never caught a single fish on these jigs. I hate using that lure so much, it's probably a mental block. It's the most boring type of fishing on the planet.
I have the worst luck with jigs. Maybe caught a handful in my life it sucks dude
Needed an hour of BFHQ footage 👌
I believe your eye theory,fishing a soft minnow after a few fish it was beat up and lost its eyes,i put a fresh one on same exact lure and i started hitting again.the only difference was the lost eyes. Who really knows but seems reasonable to me..
I've found this year up north throughout the fall transition, that no matter where I'm fishing, the bass always stick with structure. And any piece of vegetation that still has any green to it. But the bigger bass were on structure. Hope this helps some people.
When would you use a Texas rig over a jig? Sounds like it's best to always use a jig.
Small digital scale 14 bucks and cheaper on Amazon and compact
I'm catching fish ok but can't seem to get them on the boat. They shake the jig 3 out of five fish get off, what am I doing wrong?
lol. I am watching your video for the first time on Black Friday
When a fish jumps you have a stiffer rod you see that slack you can feel it you really have to start cranking that reel really fast it works
your sounds is almost to good. its piercing and im half deaf. back off the mic a bit.... be softer. but your vids are bad ass
james river??? you gota be local to be here in newport news va, within least 100 miles or so
will a bass spit a jig out like a worm? I'm trying to reckonize a bite . when do I set the hook?
What jig trailer holds up the best? i keep getting the claws tore off and wonder what jig trailer would hold together the best.
Tyler,
Your videos are good but would be great but for one thing. Slow down, catch your breath this appears to be a production problem and makes our heads spend.
Please, work on this so we can continue to watch your videos, I feel like I’m in a race while watching.
Please consider my suggestion, and don’t rush so much. Sincerely, Larry
Sorry Larry, we aren't all as slow as you. Lower the video speed if you can't keep up.
I got a glow in dark lure! And I just got a lure off wish it flashes red lite what you all think about that? Anyone
an hour long video padded with fishing clips and no chapters? skipping
No fish on jigs, chatterbaits, and spinnerbaits for me. Not once.
What size rage craw? Theres so many. Links not in the description
How do u prevent baits getting caught in limbs? I continue to have trouble with that!
Gracias, intentare seguir el consejo de pesca solo con los Jig, para poder entender como funcionan.
Thank you, I will try to follow the fishing advice only with the Jig, in order to understand how they work.
But will it outperform the Ned rig...... I need to fish a jig more 😂
Ur wrong , nobody wants to watch a person stare at a computer ,,,,, on TV, it's about the decision of the angler , not a computer ,,, fans r loosing interest , that means ur total payout is getting less , , fishing aint stearin at a computer screen ,, it's just like Nascar ,, no fun for the spectators ,,,,,,, thank u
