Dude absolutely!! Make ‘‘em and we will buy them!! I bet most anglers have tried to make their own jigs as well. I know I’ve done it. I made my own to experiment with different colors that you normally can’t buy over the counter.
Me to!! I'd sure try them if you make them. One of my absolute favorites is a D&N jig, Cumberland Craw color. I've caught bass from Indiana all the way to Florida on that jig and color. Semper Fi from an old Marine
As long as there’s a finesse jig in the lineup I’m all in. Use a lot of full size jigs too but in the last few years the compact jigs have really moved to the front for me.
Been fishing for 50 years .need confidence in my baits . Presentation is important. Great vedios .thank you for the good info. More people need to have the passion you have.
Jacob I think it is great idea to develop your own line of jigs. Being the top angler in the country at present I think the timing is perfect. Great info on the video and thanks that for sharing your knowledge to help us catch more bass.
absolutely!! make them jigs!! with all the success you have in the sport and just your character, many people are looking up to you as well as wanting to use any and every bait you throw. the demand would be insane for something you tie/make yourself!!
Love the Speed Trap and the DT cranks. On the chunk trailer, I use a worm piece as well to keep it from riding up. I put the fat part of the chunk down. Most of the old school jig fisherman do as well.
the ramble is good...like minded fisherman...if you dont get excited and ramble.....maybe thats why some dont excel like you...the passion for what you're doing is in your voice...and the content is priceless to those that cant fish as much as you do ..years of practice and fishing in a short video for that amount of info and content ...the extent of the explanations have taught me so much understanding...not...do this and throw this....but the reasons why, earned by those that learned the hard way is so amazing to be able to learn so easily from my computer at work....on the way to work....at lunch...at home...losing sleep to learn when water time isnt available is incredible....good luck this year...ur own videos prolly will make it tougher year after year lol
also...definately make some jigs...i wanna c finesse, football, and swim jigs with ur perpective put in them....i think theyre more useful with ur ideas...cuz ur from near where i am as well....than the punch, etc types....
I grew up in Indiana, southern tip of L. Michigan. Weather patterns have changed but in the 80's we would fish a lipless (rattle trap) at ice out. The water was still super cold, but we speed cranked em, absolutely burning them, and get that reaction bite. Some of my best 100+ fish days have come that way. When they're on it, they're on it BIG! Good video bro!
Jacob, the red pattern correlates to crawfish season down south. Pond raised crawfish are available a little earlier than backwater crawfish, but since I've been little, we started catching crawfish late January into February.
Jacob I learn so much from you and how you break things down thank you for taking your time to teach us my daddy said when your fishing and not learning take a step back cause there’s a problem cause we should learn every time we are on the water
Honestly am surprised you don’t have your own jig out already!! I mean come on your one of the top if not the top angler in world no doubt. Love to see it!!
Dude I been busting my ass to get a boat, I work 2 jobs n try to save but its impossible to get enough.... I fished with a guy last year 6 outta 7 tournaments we placed, I caught 98% of the bass. Your the man wheeler!! I hope to one day get out on the water by myself! I'll be rooting for you all year!
Get a quality fishing kayak.....makes for a great day on the water...had a bass boat, and it was great....alot of maintenance though...kayak bass fishing is alot of fun
Sold choices… I sometimes forget about the Speed Trap… such a great crank ! Also, on the JW Jig, I’d be interested if it offered something different from what’s out there … head design, keeper, etc . I’d do seeing what mods you do to your jigs to adapt them to your fishing style. Have an awesome day, and best of luck on your season !
A jig is my absolute favorite bait to fish. I fish it year round in all conditions. When I go fishing I'm looking to catch the biggest fish there. I'd love to see what you come up with, send me some that you like and I'll try them out for you in Louisiana where I live and I'll let you how they work and what I'd change. I got no problem being a beta tester for you lol. Great video too!
Thanks so very much for the tips! VERY GOOD INFORMATION! Chickamauga is my home lake also. I usually fish in the Soddy Daisy area. Very glad I found your channel. Good luck on the tournament trail. Tracy Brown from Hixson TN
Most definitely would like to use a jig that you designed. As long you cover the entire spectrum from small finesse all the way up to a heavy stout hook swim jig I am in!
I usually always thread on my jig trailers but Iv seen some underwater footage of the chunk tipped and it has a real nice flowing action so I’m gonna give it more of a try!
Awesome way to catch up from a MIA in January!...Yes...Chunks look funny when not pegged. Great Tip. New JW-Jigs? Why not bruh? Get it out there, reap the rewards. It will sell. Great selection this month. Thank you
Hi Jacob, I suggest You to switch off the autoISO on Your camera to avoid light/dark changing continuously during videos. Great content! Hi from Italy!
I have zero confidence in a stuck chunk it feels wrong, but I felt the same way about wacky rig until I got the first bite. I am going to try the plastic to cover the exposed shank makes since. Doesn't hurt it was an idea by the young GOAT.
Hey Jacob, I noticed you put the chunk on “fat” side up, I’ve always rigged Uncle Josh fat side down and therefore do the same with the plastic chunks. Would love to hear you thoughts on that. Thanks, have a great year!
Following. Would luv to hear your input on the trailer position and what's ur reason for it. Go get the Sir. Fellow Tennessee man here Townsend myself. Thanks for all the information
Honestly I feel like I would trust your jigs more than any other brand. You have proved time and time again of your professionalism and knowledge in the business. If you do decide to do so, not only will it appeal to your fan base but also other professional fisherman as well. As long as its promoted well, I dont see a downside to making your own jigs.
thread if i am skipping in shallow water where the fall doesn't really matter. if glide and fall are a consideration nose hook the chunk with the fat pad down. having the fat pad down provides more kicking action to the legs (IMO) 10 days to Day 1...can't wait! Back to Back!!!!!
So I don't use jig chunks consistently but do carry them. I have threaded one on maybe twice this winter. The difference between threading and hooking is 1) the hooked chunk can swing and gives a larger appearance of a creature. Unfortunately hooking a chunk can result in the flap impaling itself and blocking the hook up when you get a bite. Threading the chunk gives a smaller profile and less action. My understanding is, traditionally, the bulk of the chunk is face down. That would make sense because the thick portion closer to the water as the jigs falls through water column would create more friction and slow the jig's fall. Secondly, the flaps could enhance secondary action on the fall. My chunks also has ridge lines across the thick portion when rigged this way so it was designed by the manufacturer to sit on the jig with the thicker portion downwards. But go out and conduct your own tests and make video about it. Let us know.
That’s so funny you just said that about threading a chunk on because I feel the same exact way it doesn’t look right hanging off the tip! Threading it on is the only way I use them
I live in Northeast Louisiana and throw jigs all of time! I would love to see you build a jig! I am off working in Illinois so I will not be in west monroe for the first event but wish I was going to be, good luck!
Jig tip of the day: take a 3X or Zman TRD and cut the top off and thred it in-between chunk and jig,it makes the jig stand straight up,the elaztech floats! Thank me later!
J Wheeler Jack'm Jig, Yeah I can see that. Let's see what you can give us to make us better fishermen like you Jwheels. Good video dirty water ones are for us in Texas. Thank you
I stick the chunk on when I want a bigger profile. Thread it on when I want a compact profile. I am a year round jig nut. I’d buy jigs from you. For sure.
JW you the best out there! if you design a Jig it will sell, trust me. I like threading my pig Trailer, more realistic. Great presentation JW keep-up the great work.
Do you remember the flat sided crank bait that Daiwa used to sell? I believe Sports Authority sold them. I had a bunch of them but lost them and can't find them anymore.

Ned Rigs def have a place in my arsenal all year, but especially with cooler water
Always in for a treat when these kinds of vids drop. Thx J.W. For these to get me on top of the game
My top 5 this time of year are Drop Shot, Texas Rig worm, swimbait, Crankbait, rooster tail.
From a 72 year young, Drop the spinner, add a jig. The rest i am right there with you !
Been fishing for 50 years .need confidence in my baits . Presentation is important. Great vedios .thank you for the good info. More people need to have the passion you have.

Always thread my jig trailer on. Fishing highland reservoirs like you, the lure selection was spot on.

Young Jacob Wheeler, make your jigs. Anything you produce or Mark Daniel, I'll buy. Routing for you and your jigs. 😊
God Bless 🙌

You make the jigs.....I'll buy them. You might be the brightest young fisherman I've ever seen. Have a great 2023 season.
Lookin forward to gettin back at it here in Michigan, love your videos! Bass fishin is the best!!
I put a chunk on both ways. The finesse jig I thread on and the full sized jig I stick it on so it hangs down lower and makes a bigger profile.
Thanks for the information.
Good luck this year 🎣
Yes on your jigs, I fish a lot here in the Crossville, TN area and am always looking for something to improve my fishing.
Honestly am surprised you don’t have your own jig out already!! I mean come on your one of the top if not the top angler in world no doubt. Love to see it!!
Love the pics Jacob. Good luck.

Awesome advice as always.
I really appreciate this video!
GOOD LUCK BRO 👊🏿 THAT WAS SOME GREAT INFO..
J Dub I thread my chunks on. I'm a jig fisherman. It's my favorite winter time bait and yes I'd be interested in your jigs.
Yes I do want to see you make your own jigs so I can get some ideas when you do it
I make my own jigs .... fishing pressure lakes here in ohio and Indiana and these fish get custom to alot of the markets baits you buy.....
i would definitely be interested in fishing with your jigs!
I would absolutely try a Jacob Jig!
Yes to make the jigs
thread if i am skipping in shallow water where the fall doesn't really matter. if glide and fall are a consideration nose hook the chunk with the fat pad down. having the fat pad down provides more kicking action to the legs (IMO)
10 days to Day 1...can't wait!
Back to Back!!!!!
Awesome content buddy! Yes make the jigs and we’ll buy them. I love your line of spinner Bates and buzz Bates
I'm ready for some travel vlogs!!!

Definitely yes!!! JW-JIG
When are you going to be back on MLF tv Saturday mornings. Watching you “hob knob around” was my routine.
Thanks for all the tips. I’m a huge fan.
Definitely I'd look at those jigs
Yes would love to see some JW jigs, if there is going to be a finesse jig you should make one that can be fished on 12 pound fluorocarbon
For sure. I would buy your jigs. I’m ready to place an order already lol.
Go for it man! I just ordered melting pot and first mold myself
If you make Jigs I would definitely buy them. Custom trailers would be good too
That’s so funny you just said that about threading a chunk on because I feel the same exact way it doesn’t look right hanging off the tip! Threading it on is the only way I use them
I live in Northeast Louisiana and throw jigs all of time! I would love to see you build a jig! I am off working in Illinois so I will not be in west monroe for the first event but wish I was going to be, good luck!
I mainly use Hackney's Hack Attack jigs...but I'd definitely buy a jig that you design.
Jacob, love the intro especially with the family! Make the jigs Bro!
I have always said an orange belly is key as well.
Yessss please make your own jig🔥 🛎
I guessed allot of them I just had your order out of whack😉 And bring the jigs on! DING!!
Love the detail
Thanks for you time
Jig tip of the day: take a 3X or Zman TRD and cut the top off and thred it in-between chunk and jig,it makes the jig stand straight up,the elaztech floats!

I’m definitely interested in seeing you make your own jigs!

Mr Jacob wheeler down here in east Texas we have a few power plant lakes so in those lakes they are spawning right now or are in post spawn mode
Were do u get them at
What would u use at lake Oconne in February like if the water was muddy and what would you use if the water wasn't muddy
Do you remember the flat sided crank bait that Daiwa used to sell? I believe Sports Authority sold them. I had a bunch of them but lost them and can't find them anymore.
Making jigs sounds good
Headed to Palestine this February and definitely can see a few of these baits on deck.
2 years later gets another W to the date!
