- These jig tricks will help you catch more fish! It doesn't matter if you're fishing grass in the South or rock in the North, we're going to help you elevate your jig fishing this Fall and Winter. Come along as Matt explains how to adapt jigs to changing conditions.
Jigs catch big bass! No one will dispute that fact. So why do so many anglers shy away from jig fishing? Maybe you don't catch very many fish on a jig. Maybe you don't have confidence in them. Maybe you've tried it and it didn't work. After this video, you'll know exactly when and where to throw a jig.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits Matt discussed in the video. He's included his favorite sizes and colors for each jig, as well as trailer recommendations. He's also included his favorite rods for each style. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

The rabbit hole is a place I love going with you guys 😂😂
Same here brother all the time I’m like a little kid watching blippy or coco melon 😭
Yep lol especially when it's something they're especially passionate about. When there's a pause and a sigh you know you're about to get a long kept secret
Lol same
And yeah I know man. I love it when it’s something one of them truly love to do. They’re both fantastic teachers/instructors but it’s special when it’s something they truly love.
Lol same my man
I’ll go back a year or two a RE watch buyers guides to fall asleep and I’ll still end up carting a bunch of stuff 90% of which I never actually buy
"that true finesse fishery" as a lake Casitas guy truer words have never been spoken
I’m really glad Matt included muddy/silty bottoms. It seems like everyone else that talks jigs just assumes that their audience is fishing areas that are either pure rock/gravel, wood cover or some form of vegetation and the truth is that a lot of us, especially those of us who fish slow moving rivers or ponds deal with mud and silt as much as anything else. Older reservoirs also tend to silt in over time.
You guys have taught me so much over the last 5-6 years that I’ve been fallowing Tactical Bassin. That said, I still, to this day, can’t catch a bass on a jig if my life depended on it 😂
I was that way just two weeks ago but now I’ve been killing it on the jig using their techniques. Just keep working youll get it!
Yeah, I hear ya. I spend a lot of time with a jig. I seem to accidentally caught 5 or 6, but like they say, those have been good ones. So - just like learning worms, I just keep on akeeping on. Good luck to ya - and me, too.
When in doubt, fish slower. It's a pain cause you get the "itch" to bounce it. But again, fish slower and you should be able to get something on.
What people said is indeed true. Also, consider this, vary your retrieve speeds an pauses. Also yoyo jig in 3 segments. Start with rod tip alittle above 9 o'clock then slightly raise rod tip pause 2 seconds then raise rod tip slightly higher pause 2 seconds an then a 3rd time raise rod tip a 3rd time to 10 o'clock position. This 3 parts rod tip raises works great because it imitates a creyfish swimming.
@@joegrande4848 bla?
I can't help but smile when I heard you mention Clearlake, I've got a little honey hole packed with shad. There's crappie and huge school of bass in all stages of growth.
“There is a special place in my heart for a well made jig” 😂🤣. It gets better every time he says it
10+ years. Love you to Matt.
Thanks man!
Hard to beat a jig. I really like the arkie style jigs but my favorite is some sort of pitching jig with a head that comes through grass good. The strike king Denny brauer premier pro is a great cheap one. Even has a rattle built in. Hook a chunk on the back and get to slinging it into cover.
I'm a tackle nerd also Matt, I enjoy seeing that side of your videos
I like that you included the “If I Could Only Have One”. I’m trying to simplify, but I can’t stop buying tackle!
Another masterful jig video by the man who knows his business and speaks with 100% authority. Thanks Matt
Thank you!!
Matt, I would love to see your stack of jig lure boxes versus your stack of jerk bait lure boxes. Just to see which is the deeper rabbit hole :)
I was thinking along those lines too. He’s pretty fanatical about a bunch of techniques.
Agreed a my fishing addiction episode of Tactical Bassin would be great
I'd like to see his hook box his underpin head box his jig boxes his soft plastic arsenal his swimbait collection also rod reel collection I want to see every inch of that boat also
I went down this rabbit hole with Matt several years ago after another great siminar.
I couldn’t catch a cold on a jig!
Decided to put in the time and effort and alot of extra time on the water. Huge reward for the effort. I pretty much fish a jig all year in any condition now with confidence. My boat is filled with just a few brands and colors from 1/4 oz to 3/4 oz.
My favorite jig rods are an NRX 894, NRX 873, and an NRX 893. Braid to Floro is a must for great hook sets.
You can see how deep that rabbit hole can go! Thanks Matt for these great videos! You are making better anglers one at a time.
What's. Good reel for jigs I curreny.use dobyns 735c frog top water mag heavy for jigs, really love how sensitive it is.
Going to upgrade to a new rod but debating on which one.
I love these long videos. I listen to it all day while I'm at work welding 😆 🤣 😂
This is the time of year where all I throw is jigs and dark sleepers.Well actually in about 1 more month. Thanks for the tips!
Been on a good jig bite for the past 2 weeks now . Love the jig cause it catch the bigger ones
I remember when I was afraid to throw a jig and now it's about all I throw. This channel helped build my confidence a lot and I think it's STILL one of the more overlooked presentations on my lakes!
Thanks for the tips Matt. Awesome information as usual from one of the Masters. I love Jig Fishing. Thanks again from Western Kentucky.
Sooo glad I live on the Lower Coosa River! Our water clarity rarely dictates braid to leader. Straight braid, baby! No BS!
Great topic. Cheeks are such a good way to catch big fish but not a lot of people have much confidence or knowledge of how to use them. Love you guys
Jig bites turning on in north Texas for me one of my favorite ways to stick em
I can watch u guys talk jigs all day
jig fishing is amazing in fall for me. try the compact canturberry dirty jig if you want more bites or are newer to jigs
You guys are literally the best and the only channel I will buy from your suggestions and you haven't steered me wrong yet! I have so many dirty jigs now haha, thank you again for you knowledge
Matt: "This will be my last jig tip for you today"
Me: No it won't... lol
Great video and TONS of useful info. Thanks for everything you guys do!
The 6'10 medium BassX rod is a great finesse jig and jerkbait rod also, and it's not as expensive as the 2 you mentioned.
I also use mine for shakeyheads
Every time I use a pitching jig in wood cover such as lay downs. It gets hung up. Then I switched to a flipping jig and it rarely gets hung up.. maybe it just works better for me. Thanks a bunch for the great videos!
Thanks for covering the rod/reel/line setup on the micro jigs. I have a box the same and I've been using my jerkbait rod, but it didn't seem sensitive enough to me.
Happy to help! What jerkbait rod do you use?
@@tacticalbassin irod Genesis 6101 Jerkbait rod. I was using straight 8lb fluoro but just couldn't feel what was on the bottom even with a 7/16 peewee jig. I'm really tempted to pick up an NRX+ 802c or 852/853c, either that or try using 20lb braid to 8-10lb leader.
I didn't start throwing a jig until about 3 years ago. I fish river smallmouth and localitus always told me they don't work. The bass patrol jigs were the ones that really spoke to me and they turned out to be incredibly effective during the pre spawn. Like you said, they don't have a ton of colors but they have the right colors and you can do a lot with the trailer. Isolated lay downs and sand/mud to rock transitions are just lights out with those things and you'll find quality like you've never seen before if you're just throwing a keitech or ned rig.
I've found that localitus is purely irellevant. Fish don't just pick one bait that they are going to eat one day. A bluegill comes by, they're not going to pass on it just because they're "only" eating crawfish. I only ever fish my confidence baits, rarely ever using baits that people claim are working.
Your twos product placement game is really on point lately. Well done $$$
The picasso lure jig is one you guys should look at. The ones with the titanium brush guard. Really hooks up well and that as intrusive of a brush guard
Perfect start to my day
I agree with Jaycee fishing but I want to see that video where you take us deep into that rabbit hole. The deeper we go the more knowledge we get from you. Take us plz!!!!!!! Would be great idea to watch over da winter when water is frozen here in Pa. 🙏🤞
I’ve been with you all a year or two before your accident and I did what you said to do upgrade your insurance. So now I’m thank full to you. I had to fix my trolling motor.
Someone ran into it while I when’s to get my truck. I got a call from my insurance company and it was taken care of thank you My friend. If you need any beavers any color I’m just over the mountain. About a hour 1/2 from you. I have 3.5 beaver and a 4 inch. Then we can go to Normandy lake and hook them up
Thank you! I'm so glad you took that to heart and were prepared when something happened to you!
One of these days I will catch SOMETHING on all the tackle I have bought off these videos!!
awesome jig vid, Matt! Always love who are you talk about this topic.
Man,im about a 4 hour drive below you guys and a 1oz Hack Attack jig is still not heavy enough. The pads seem to be starting to thin a little but the lake is 11’ deep and ive still got grass from 11’ to -1’. 10+ years and yes,,,,we are true Jig Fisherman.
I still after years of fishing, have not been able to catch fish on a Jig or a Chatterbait/bladed jig. I've spent hours and hours of watching videos and reading articles. I've invested in the right rod/reel/reel etc. Spent entire days fishing nothing but those baits and still NOTHING 💔. I throw on a Underspin or a spinner bait and I slay them lol mean while others are slaying on a jig or chatter bait right next to me. My kayak crew thinks im cursed 😪
Your the reason I have all this damn tackle and catch so many bass I'm obsessed with the rabbit hole like I'm Elmer Fudd. Your new nickname is Matt "Buggs" Allen from here on out lol
In a marina I often fish I see this every year. As soon as the grass and pads start dying, the docks directly near them hold every fish in that place.
Wow..Matt, you gave up that chartreuse body tip..I think I could see the lil bit of regret in your smile as you finish that sentence..I for one dont want you to stop going down that rabbit hole..Great vid as always gentlemen.
I laughed when you got to the rod. Something about a P32 Space Modulator with "light braid -- a 40lb braid." Wow, that's your light braid? ;-)
Lol. I like it how you said “guys who have been with you for ten plus years.” Talk about the huddleston again ! Swimbait!
Ha! Will do 👍🏼
y'all could make hour and a half long videos about specific tackle and im sure most of us would sit and watch it all. by all means, go down as many rabbit holes as you wish, its wonderful. lmao.
I've really been loving my levante brailist. Cheaper option than the orochi and its an amazing rod. Softer tip but loads really well in the blank and has great back bone!
I just got my Windbuster in the mail this week. I've got 21 BRAND NEW Vision 110s I'm about to jerk the HOOKS off of!!!
@@shadygraves 21???? Damn you must be rich!!! Hahaha 👍🏻🤘🏻💯👌🏻👊🏻🐟🎣
The Daiwa Steez 7'5" MH-H/F Bottom Contact rod is awesome for pitching and football jigs.
Deer starts sat. Trying to tag out fadt so i can get back out on the water lol. Thx for the tips guys.
In TN the fall season is all shad imitation. the bass just dont seem to look down .
Wooooow i think you just helped me figure out my home lake! That grass died back QUICK here in NY and its been tough…. There are a few trees down on one side I don’t fish to much…. Im running over there my next day free
Nice! That's going to be fun!!
@@tacticalbassin was thinking of buying conquest 844c mbr thanks to your use of it. Would it work well pitching half ounce jigs near some grass or is it too soft. I know you suggest brailist for pitching jigs but I'm in a kayak and prefer 7'3" max. Thanks
So much information 🤙🏼
small bit of chartreuse add on , ancient Chinese secret. LEGIIIIIIITTT works
Tou guys should come and fish the Potomac River outside Washington DC and do a series on the diversity of fishing opportunities here. There are alot of tanks bith Bass and Snakehead.
We live for the rabbit hole!
Ha!
Feel like im watching an info commercial at 3 in the morning. But wait!! Theres more!!
Since y’all didn’t mention the P5 jig rods I will:
F5.5-72X “the X-Bites” - awesome finesse jig/Texas rig rod
F6-69X “Super Destroyer” - do everything rod. Excels at skipping and spinnerbaits
F6.5-67X “Tachyon Shaft” super sensitive and powerful rod for cracking hook sets in close quarters
I just got my Destroyer Windbuster Spinning rod in the mail this week. I have 21 BRAND NEW Vision 110 jerkbaits that I'm about to jerk the HOOKS off of!
Fishing lake chicka right now ...wish you were here to help lol...first time out here and I'm getting skunked
Great video guys!! Just what I needed
I just bought the last pitching jig.
Thank you for another sensational presentation. Another TW order pending.
The worst thing about the water by me in NJ is there so much gunk on the bottom and coontail in every lake by me. I love fishing jigs i wish we had more rock bottom like our rivers
Caught my first bass on a jig :). Thanks for the tips
You guys need to go down the rabbit hole more often!
Such a great video, I love the specificity!
@6:50 whats mr. little doin? pissin in a bottle? lol
Thanks Matt as always great info
Matt have you guys experimented with any of the beast coast jigs. They have everything from flipping,pitching, football, and even a very different finesse jig called the hustler. Both lead and tungsten and most are hand tied skirts. I strictly only use dirty jigs and beast coast for my jig fishing.
Love the jig videos
Thanks!
I may be the odd man out but I actually like using a M rod for jigs 1/2 oz and under in a lot of cases...I feel like I catch a lot more vs a MH. Now if I'm around heavier cover I'll switch to a MH
Yeah, it can depend on the strength of your rod company as well. The power ratings aren’t always the same, Matt’s rods tend to be a little lighter so the heavier ratings are required. But yeah I’ll throw jigs Matt would throw on a heavy on my med heavy, even those lighter frogs. I use a heavy where Matt would use an extra heavy
@@legionssb yep, I predominantly use sixgill fishing rods, all of theirs are typically a step higher than the norm...so their Ms are equivalent to most companies MHs.. I also really like st croix, which if I'm using them, I'll go a power heavier.
I am pretty good at getting hung up, but bad at popping it free. I am bank fishing. How about a little advice on improving my popping?
Hold your rod straight up, vertically. Act just like you're shooting a bow. You must FORCE your line to go forward. Make it POP loose.
@@shadygraves Thanks.
I was out friday here in middle Ga,the pads are starting to thin out but our grass is still strong. I was getting away with 3/8’s tungsten but still have lots of grass where an ounce just wasnt enough. Im hoping this cold front knocks some of the grass down good. It pulled my trolling motor shaft out way to much so im having to use the 30# for now.
"They will typically follow that pressure and swim out from underneath that dock...." - that's an under statement. I hooked into a huge smallie at Pickwick about 2 weeks ago and she took me underneath a floating dock that I was standing on when I hooked her- there was two poles spaced about 6 inches apart and she went right between them- so I'm standing on the dock holding steady pressure on her and all the sudden she comes shooting out from between those poles- I had her on a spinning rig so I couldn't catch up- by the time I got all that slack out she wasn't on anymore.
Just broke my heart man- we had been fishing all day and the boat had torn up, we couldn't get it started- so we got towed to a dock downstream. My bother had caught a ride with some nice guy who offered to help us out to go get his truck- so I stayed behind and fished off the dock while he was gone. Caught 3 smallies but this was the only one of any size- and she was massive- a 4-5 pounder I think. I tossed my underspin in between the dock and the bank on a whim- there wasn't 3 feet of water there- but that's where she was.
Do you have a video detailing how you do your braid to leader connection? Have not had any experience throwing braid to leader but want to start
Awesome! Great info!!
You’re a legend! Lol thanks for all the info!
yay i love ur vids
#TacticalBassin, have you guys seen the twitchin rig? There is a video on TikTok of a guys that makes them with a plastic worm. I made one and am waiting to use it. It's kind of a unique rig really and I am excited to see how well it works.
So from what I understand you can throw jigs and soft plastics basically any time of the year haha
Fella at 13:33 trying that FG knot
Matt, I am curious of how many +5 lb.fish you catch annually? It has to be thousands..lol omg you guys are awesome!! I am following your guidance for my fishing when I able to get out there..
Is that your dad in the video? Love his hook set!! 👍🏻
I love the jig videos!! I am wondering if you guys have tried the trash master jig and if so what you think of it
Thanks for the rabbit hole I love the dive!!!!
Couple questions… how do you like the + vs the Conquest in the 844 ? Would really like a updated video regarding the Conquest and having the NRX + out now would be a good comparison for guys looking at both… last question. The Braillist, I noticed you more often then not have a leader tied on it, which IMO adds a extra power to a rod… with that said, will it handle a 3/4oz on Shasta/The Big O with straight flouro ? I’ve been fishing the 904 yet watching you’re videos I think the Braillist maybe a good option dragging a jig in Nov-Feb ?! Thanks
I feel like the chambly bassin is grass only and I'm up in Canada
Hey guys, love the channel! I had a question about the jig. I just really started fishing it for the past year, and I have had a little success. But my question is, would it be better to start out with a little lighter weight, like a 1/4 to 3/8 oz., or just depends really on water situation you're fishing it in? Rather than the 1/2oz. or heavier? Thanks guys for all the great information, Happy Thanksgiving!
It really depends on the situation. In general, 1/2 oz gives you great bottom contact so you know exactly what you're fishing through. Obviously if you're fishing shallower water a 3/8 is a better option but from say, 12-40 feet of water, 1/2 is our staple.
New to bass fishing and appreciate the help! One question, I was fishing a private pond with very clear water. And there’s like a monster 6 pound bass cruising the shallow , but it wouldn’t hit a spinner bait or Texas warm. What do you recommend I throw
Do you trim the shirts on your jigs? Read somewhere that it helps lower the profile if you trim it right up to the back of the hook...
Can you guys give some tips of fishing in the rain? Topwater seems to work well, but what else does?
Daiwa Aird x 7’3 MH
Do a video on how to fight and land a fish after hooking them so they don’t shake the hook please. Mainly for finesse gear. How to position and move the rod, etc. Thanks!
Hey Matt is the expride 6’10 a glass rod? Thanks for the video learned a lot!!
What would you recommend for a pond with stained water and lots of leaves and debris on the bottom? Would you still fish a jig?
I pitch half ounce jigs from a kayak in and around grass edges. Don't really want the length of the brailist. Would the Loomis 844c mbr do the job or too soft?
I would say that's too soft. What about the Megabass Perfect Pitch?
@@tacticalbassin I actually own orochi xx perfect pitch. . I'm still learning and really appreciate how much your videos are helping me. Was actually using that as my frog rod mainly. Is there a g Loomis alternative you would suggest? Thank you guys for all you do.
Man, I wish I could get you on my little 500 acre home lake. It’s got a ton of grass that’s dying and not a lot of hard cover. But it has 2 dams. The one where the water comes in is less than 10 feet and gets shallow quickly on each side. The dam where the water goes out is over 20 feet and has around 100 yards of rock on each side and the grass doesn’t start till out by the ends of the rock.my problem is I fish from shore. I do well in spring and summer. But I’m struggling this fall. Bait is everywhere but it’s just tough. Do you think the deep dam would be good for my jigs? I’m in Michigan and there’s a lot of pike too. Aaaaaahhhhh🤪
when would you use 3/8th oz on medium heavy 7ft casting rod?
ok I just got into jigs I usually use 1/2 oz. I usually don't know i have a bite until its to late. do I need practice or something im doing wrong?? keep in mind I usually texas rig instead. btw absolutely love deep crank cold water. ripping them apart. just ordered 3 more DDs!
It almost sounds like a rod issue. Are you fishing braid to leader? That will instantly increase your sensitivity by a ton.
You ever throw the spicy beaver on the jig?
Do you have problems with the Z-man trailers not reacting well with jig skirts? I've had them ruin the skirts because they aren't the same material.
What’s your home pond buddy?
Hey Matt and Tim. I'm fishing in the deep south. Savannah GA to be specific. Our grass does not completely die off. Will the bass still go to hard structure or will they split between what is left of the grass and hard structure?
What about the 6'10" Medium in the Zodias line? Would it compare to the mighty Expride?
