I never used a jig much because I never caught any on it (probably because I wasn't using it) so I decided to use a jig a lot the last couple years and I have caught my PB with a jig so now I have always have a jig on and I throw it constantly, not only have I caught my PB but I have caught more bass over 5lbs in one year than ever in my life! I love jigs!
This was a really cool video. Haven't watched anyone else do this type of experiment. Spinnerbait vs chatterbait? 🤔You may already have a video, but I can't find it. Good stuff man.
Good and interesting video, you should consider the mayor population of anglers, that is the bank or pond anglers that do not have a boat. Majority of youtubers focused of course into fishing with a boat but fishing lakes and ponds without a boat is a complete different challenge. Thanks Tyler.
@@BassFishingHQ thank you for your reply, but spring is one of the most easy season to catch bass since they are very active as you well know. Bank anglers normally do not have or use the tech to find them and in winter is really tough and you really need to use your knowledge and common sense, there is when expert anglers like you come to make the difference.
Delightful video, but do this same comparison in cold water conditions and the jig outperforms by a much bigger margin. Just my thoughts as I love both set ups equally but I have very specific criteria/conditions that dictate which one I will be using.
it's hard trying to compare baits or test if one gets more bites because you might fish in a heavier populated area with one bait and not even find any fish with the other bait
Eric Sh jigs can be a little confusing but the one I was using was a flipping jig, you could use it as a swim jig if you wanted. But it is actually a Boss Wood Walker jig
Considering that the jig bite was fished almost 2x longer, wouldn't you think in equal time fishing the texas rig would have been able to catch nearly twice as many fish and culled them for a bigger bag?
I've always found that you tend to get more bites on soft plastics but you tend to get better bites on jigs... that said a small fish will hit a jig as well under the right circumstances.
I"m not sure if it won. To be fair you have to look at the variance of your dataset. Variance analysis tells us if the data are significantly different.
Tyler, i have 2 questions. Why do you and other pro's engage and disengage the thumbar on your reel often when catching a big fish? Secondly, can you fish a jig in grassy ponds from the bank? Awesome channel!
Some guys like to use their built in drag system but myself and others prefer to control the “drag” with out thumbs. This is something I have always done and I just feel really comfortable with it. Fishing a jig in grassy ponds can be done but it can also be very difficult depending on what type of grass is in the pond. A lot of ponds have snot grass in them which makes fishing a jig near the bottom very hard. But you could also swim a jig above the grass to mimic a bluegill and catch bass that way
I disregarded jigs my whole life then one day last month i decided to give them a real try… wel i caught a 5 that day and since have caught all my biggest bass on the jig… i think its safe to say they catch bigger bass for whatever reason
Delaware has been tough this year. Same with Alum Creek with all the pressure from all the Tournaments. Hoover is nice to fish. Come out to Buckeye Lake and I'll show you around. Contact me on Instagram - same name.
You needed to time how long it took to catch a fish on each one. The craw might catch more fish because it catches them faster. I find that to be true when using swim baits. The small bait catches smaller ones faster. It can be a confidence builder on those slow bite days.
If you threw that craw at the 4.98 bass, he would've bit it also. There are so many variables; you can never truly evenly test the two against one another

I grew up fishing the pond in my backyard and I am actually going to do a whole pond fishing series once we hit spring. Stay tuned Ivan!

There was lotta effort involved in this video thank you I like the way you did the comparison chart
What an awesome video. I'm really trying to learn how to fish a jig and a craw Texas rig. I can't wait to try both ways. thanks for the video.
Delightful video, but do this same comparison in cold water conditions and the jig outperforms by a much bigger margin. Just my thoughts as I love both set ups equally but I have very specific criteria/conditions that dictate which one I will be using.
Great video, like the comparison. Please do more
Great video. I loved the comparison between the jig and Texas Rig.
Thank you for doing this right. Someone else I won't name didn't take the time keeping variables as similar as possible
Keep the videos coming!!!
Gonna try Ike!
That was certainly interesting. Thanks for the video.
Yes. Do challenges more often please.
This was a great test . Keep-um coming. As jig guy I would have predicted the out come. Maybe next would be a swimjig vis a Spinnerbait. Great fun.
Cool. Was the a private managed pond? You catch per hour is crazy.
New to fishing...what does "easy to break that fish" mean? 7:09 Pull too hard you pull the hook out?
Definitely liked this kind of video from you. Thanks
Great video with good content. Teaching moment
This was a very interesting video well put together 👍💯👍💯👍💯
Cool video both work good in spring I see but it's hard for me to leave senko in spring or yr round I get a lot of fish on them.
Just stumbled across your channel. Loving the content +1 subscriber instantly. Looking forward to endless hours on your youtube channel now haha
Man great comparison! I’ve always wondered if the jig truly works better.
Can I use craw baits for places with no crawfish
I love a good ole jig bite..
Great video man
Tha is for watching Levi
it's hard trying to compare baits or test if one gets more bites because you might fish in a heavier populated area with one bait and not even find any fish with the other bait
MORE Please
I am a relative beginner. Never caught one on a jig. Sorry for the newbie question, but is that a swim jig or flipping jig? Thanks.
Eric Sh jigs can be a little confusing but the one I was using was a flipping jig, you could use it as a swim jig if you wanted. But it is actually a Boss Wood Walker jig
Great video. I consider it a tie. Both successful baits any way you look at it.
Considering that the jig bite was fished almost 2x longer, wouldn't you think in equal time fishing the texas rig would have been able to catch nearly twice as many fish and culled them for a bigger bag?
I've always found that you tend to get more bites on soft plastics but you tend to get better bites on jigs... that said a small fish will hit a jig as well under the right circumstances.
Do you use any noise makers in your baits. If so can you do a video on this?
What does a jig bite feel like do they nibble on it or do they take one big bite I never fished a jig before
Usually they inhale it and swim away. Very noticeable hit.
I"m not sure if it won. To be fair you have to look at the variance of your dataset. Variance analysis tells us if the data are significantly different.

@@BassFishingHQ Awesome! Thank you for the response and great channel. Keep well.
@@BassFishingHQ Thank you for the response. It makes sense to me. Tight lines.
nice vid man
Thanks man! I appreciate it!
Awesome video it’s way cool
How many feet of clarity?
I would argue that THE CRAW WON! It's catch speed is nearly twice that of the jig, and the size/weight differences were marginal.
That’s what I was thinking too. 🙏💕
Very interesting.
Hoping to do another video like this soon. Gonna just keep a record and see!
Where's the update video?
I disregarded jigs my whole life then one day last month i decided to give them a real try… wel i caught a 5 that day and since have caught all my biggest bass on the jig… i think its safe to say they catch bigger bass for whatever reason
I always prefer to fish a jig over the t-rig.
I feel like the plastic won. half as much time between bites, and only a slightly lower weight of fish.
Mayb do each one for 30 to 45 mins then change baits
I am going to definitely try something like that when I can here soon!
Where about are you located in Ohio? I'm @ Buckeye Lake Eastern Central Ohio.
I live in Delaware. I mostly fish Alum Creek locally

I add a jig skirt to my texas rig
Twice the time to catch the jig fish...
Interesting right? Going to do more of these in the future

You must not have watched the whole video
That last small 1 the 0.99 I'd throw back. Too small
lol...." its a giant...over 4 lbs" lol you need to come to cali and get on the delta pal
Yes I do
If you threw that craw at the 4.98 bass, he would've bit it also.
There are so many variables; you can never truly evenly test the two against one another
Yea that could very well be true
Awesome video man
