Matt: Giving the BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front) on the two jigs that you would use if limited to two was a stroke of genius. Keep doing that. When you give us the punchline at the beginning, it sells the rest of the video. In addition, if we don’t have enough time to watch the whole vid the short teaching point at the beginning is money. Thanks.
@@Gulb180 My biggest piece of advice would be get the proper setup, flip that thing into the jungle, and reel down before hookset. I use a G Loomis e6x 7'6" Heavy flipping model paired with a Lews Super Duty lfs reel. On my river there is not much grass so I flip lay downs and wood piles and have found big ones in them Spring through Fall.
Super Matt Brown is pretty much all I use. Dirty jigs or Keitech is all you need. Pick a trailer and catch the big ones. I’m not sure how you can put out another video on jigs and trailers and make it better than the last one but you do it every time.
Just caught my biggest so far this year, a 4lb 14oz pre spawn female here in OK. Pitched it to the other side of of a stump. Had a half oz boss outdoors wood walker jig with a balk/red, brown and orange craw color with a ultravibe speed craw in red bug. It was fun getting through all that brush!!
Just want to thank you man never was a big jig fisherman grew up catfish got in to bass fishing in the last year or so but watched this and video put your colors together not the exact ones but they was green pumpkin and went down to a little pond I’ve been stocking and caught my first spotted black bass on a jig so thanks and I appreciate the work and time you guys put in TightLines and God bless
Another great video from the best bass fishermen on the internet. Thanks Matt and Tim for all you do for the sport. Amazing videos and tips. Finally warming up in Western Kentucky. God Bless.
I'd love to see another video on skipping jigs. I have been bass fishing since I was little boy, I now tournament fish but that good ol skipping a jig has eluded me and it's driving me crazy lol. Thank you guys again for all that you do..
I fell in love with the sweet beaver in sprayed grass on a Tokyo rig. I love it. Its craw and gill too for me. Have swam on a trig and had good luck too. Keep em comin guys great content.
I’ve been bass fishing for 30+ years I’ve never caught a fish on a jig! Lol I haven’t really put that much time into them because I haven’t had much luck but I went out last summer and bought a whole bunch of different jigs and I’m going to fish them hard this season. Great vid thanks for the info!
Just tie 1 on and fish it. Seriously man,take nothing but jigs and fish just the jig for a few weeks. Matts telling the truth about the football jig. 12# flouro and a football finesse is a fish catcher.
levi youmans I know I know I’ve been hearing it for years how good jigs r! I just recently moved to Texas and been able to fish more often so I’m going to put some time in with them! I think I’m going to get some craw colors I’ve been doing pretty good with craw color crankbaits lately
I got that magic craw swirl in an MTB box last year I believe and the bass went crazy for it! I had the best luck on that AND the Zoom baits tilapia magic on both jigs and swing loader jigheads. Love the videos, thank you guys for putting it out there for us just learning!
Your channel is awesome you guy have gotten me into bass fishing heavy even tho I live in upstate New York and our bass fishing season here is short you have reached me what to use and how to use it so when I get on the water I can find the fish fast keep up the teaching videos they really do help
@@lexm0 That swimjig is legit. I throw it a lot. It catches big ones, small ones, open water, grass, docks, wood, ponds, lakes, and rivers. Only complaint is the primer under the paint is bright white. The head starts to look funny after the paint chips off. Doesn't seem to affect the bites though.
Cooper Rouse: Glad to hear you say that. I bought a bunch last year and never had the opportunity to use them. Happy to hear that I didn’t waste my money.
Harold Cline you absolutely did not waste your money at all. I have been getting rid of all my other brand swim jigs and getting all 6th Sense swim jigs. Most other baits as well
The Divine Swim Jig in Pearl Ice is definitely one of my top winter baits. Paired with a Zoom Super Swimming Fluke Jr, it is a fish catching machine. One day I was fishing for around 4 hours with no bites, and I switched over to the Divine Swim Jig and in the next hour I caught at least 6 bass over a pound. Also, their lipless called the Quake Thud is amazing. I almost had a 3 pounder the other day, it came off right at the bank...
Magic craw jig w/ the magic craw swirl trailer from reaction innovations landed me my PB on Friday, 7.24 lbs... what an awesome fish, on the jig color you guys recommended which was really awesome! Thanks for all you guys do to teach on this channel, keep it up! 🤙
Brother you answered everything I needed to know because I had me a like a wacky jig head or easy wide gap that I put my beaver on just a hop around the cover but once I put it on the back of my trailer on my swim jig and all my chatter bait I got hit and the Beaver style T or DZ man’s they are like the crawdad a 2.75 inch they are amazing and I’ve done caught three pounders lip hitting them I don’t know if that makes me a better fisherman that I can lift fish through the nose by the way I feel them biting and sucking on my line that’s why I say if I get onto a gas boat a real bass boat instead of these trolling motor boats up here in Maryland in the Lock Raven reservoirs without a 72 V ray motor you can’t really beat the fish the way you would like to but you answered all my questions and you’re absolutely right I got the same exact color from innovation reactions and honestly 2017 is when I first use their paddle tails of the sexy shed color and I use them for trailers on my chatter baits and I switch them upside down so the towel would be upside down but that was my biggest question to watch the video was to see about the beaver bait should I do it on a Texas or Carolina set up or I’m popping in usually I use a half ounce jig in the back that’s weedless for the wait I know people can do a Texas or Carolina rig all different types of ways and still called the same thing common sense is common sense and I don’t believe a lot of fishermen have that I believe if it wasn’t for lotta great friends in the industry a lot of people would be lost and I thank you guys for what you do I know you’re making a buck but hey I’ll make a book every day and try to make a dollar every day but sometimes I ain’t got the energy to speak on things so my hats off to you man keep seeing these good videos because center later I’ve been taking all the information for the last nine months on here and during my injury and I applied it to my since January of this year I caught my first 5950 smallmouth largemouth hybrid I had no lateral line and I didn’t understand what type of fish I had I know it was a largemouth bass because he hit that stunner jerk bait and like the ripped it right out my hand but I landed it and for that starfish it was my personal best at 5.5 pounds I just wish we had more opportunities up here and a lot of times money comes in the play especially during a pandemic I run a little small service plumbing business and I’m very good at what I do my favorite is kitchens and bathrooms I love to redo kitchens and bathrooms but what I love the most is watching of bronze back tail walk it’s something about coconut fish and bring them to the boat
Goal of 2020 is to get confidence in the jig and spinnerbait. Thanks for making the perfect vids that cover all I will be focusing on fishing this spring. I’m in eastern Washington so we have a super good smallmouth population and would love to have some smallmouth specific videos to help me out with when to downsize and when to use the same baits as you would for largies. The different areas smallies go and different tendencies ect. I know you guys sprinkle in smallmouth tips but would love to see a video or two dedicated only to smallies considering all those videos are for people on the Great Lakes or Midwest and not the west coast. Thanks for another banger!
Always here when I need ya! You guys do amazing with these videos. I've been with TB and how you guys are not @ 1million subs is beyond me. Keep up the good work guys, your Killin it!! A+ 100%
Most the lakes in my area have, no crap, blue and green pumpkin crawdads when the water temp is between 45-60. I would upload a picture if I could. That green pumpkin blue is an awesome choice for spring time!
Learned and always learning so much from you guys,I without a doubt have started catching bigger fish using what you guys teach,thanks Matt and Tim for everything you guys do!! Good luck to everyone this year😊
Great video! I’m hoping to catch my first ever jog fish this morning. Getting ready to head to the lake right now with a guide. So stoked! I’ve had this planned since December!
Cazbar Saelao no bro. Unfortunately I got skunked again. Been trying to get my first bass in close to 30 years and still nothing. I started trying relentlessly back in October of last year with no luck. Not even a $500 professional bass guide was able to get me on a bass. Feeling pretty deflated to be honest.
Great video as usual Matt. Sounds like it's time for me to do some shopping for spring jigs, and trailers! lol Love these videos, so yes please, keep 'em coming.
Perfect timing Man. I Love to throw them but just don’t because I have no confidence in that bait, was out yesterday throwing aJig and just got frustrated. Just can’t set the hook for the life of me. Keep doing what you guys some of us are still learning. 👍🏼
Jig fishing is similar to Plastic Worm fishing. Feel the Light Pickup of the fish. Master the Worm technic & that transfers over to the Jig fishing. It Did for Me & It Will for YOU.
That keitech murders in clear water and you hit it on the head about the 1/2oz size being almost too much. I bend out the Hooks all the time. Once again great info by the tactical guys.
Matt, if you were fishing a lake that had a combination of muddy/stained/clear water, would you pick 3 different colors or would you prefer to pick an all-around good color for it? My local lake is kind of all over the place as far as water color/clarity goes. Usually deep in the weeds, it's relatively clear, but most of the lake is greenish water, and near the creeks that fill it, it gets kinda muddy.
Green Pumpkin with Black and Blue as a combo, some companies do it, as for trailers you can find them more easily available with that color combo such as reaction innovations tramp stamp or just put the color you want to stand out more depending on water color.
Thanks Shaun!! I'm so sorry you haven't heard back. I'm still guiding but 2020 has been booked solid for quite a while so I dont check email as often as I should. I should have an auto reply that conveys that, I'm sorry it didnt come through! I'll go figure out what's going on.
Great video as always, thanks. I've been slaying the largies with that Bass Patrol jig. The price is right and it works well. Also the smallie beaver from Reaction Innovation's is a great trailer option for finesse jigs. Thanks again and have a good one
Try a 1oz Hack Attack Jig- no skirt trimmed- with a full size Rage Lobster. Pitch it at stumps and fish it like a square bill- run it into wood; pop it hard- and then let it fall. Been hammering bass all spring in 49-55 degree water on it. Giants.
Not that you mentioned it in this video but the Zman ned jig with the zcraw has been my ticket to converting worm tail nippers into hooked fish. Nothing big (yet) but I'm still only seeing males on beds.
One thing I'd like to add, fishing around the country I've found that its hard to beat a finesse jig with purple in it for spotted bass. for whatever reason spots tear up a pb&j or grn pmkn/purple in the pring
What do you guys think of the 6th sense rods? Lux Series, Divine Series, Sensory Series, and Unicorn Series.. a video breakdown of each and how they compare to each other and even different brands would be a hit!!!
Been fishing the beast coast flipping jig and swim jig heavily for the last couple years and have been very impressed, would love to hear your opinion, especially the double wide weed guards. Your jig fishing videos are the best!
Hey Matt, first of all thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us. You said that you would throw a football jig in smaller rock, but not in really big rock. I'm just curious as to your reasoning for not throwing it in the big rock. Can you elaborate on that a little bit. Thanks.
I want to like jigs but I've pretty much given up on them. All I catch in my local ponds is the grass/weeds off the bottom. I'm gonna have to give them another try though as I've already spent $ on several jigs.
If your pond bottom is full of grass and muck, it's gonna be hard to fish a jig. Use a strike king fluro flipping jig in a 3/8 size or even smaller would be better. But really There's just no way around it.
Hey Matt, I have a lot of Hula Grub-style double-tail grubs, mostly Chompers garlic-scented double-tail grubs. What do you think of using Hula Grubs in place of the finesse jig and double-tail grub?
i just ordered a GLX 854C and im super nervous about it as it’s my most expensive Rod purchase to date. I own an 822s IMX Pro Mag Medium DSR which is frankly the perfect shaky head drop shot and 2.8 keitech rod on the market.... obviously you can go higher in price with GLX and NRX and they’d be better but the 822s in general is amazing. I’m hoping this 854c can be a bit more versatile than what i’ve seen of it, i think i can use it for open water weighted t rigs and jig to heavy cover lily pads
hey guys ive been putting in some serious work with your DD cranks. I figured my pond was small enough (200acres) id be able to find them bet they are completely MIA. I don't have electronics but there is a distinct 30 ft deep spot that is the only spot deeper than 18 feet. ive fished every inch within 100 yards of that spot and im definitely 20+ hrs deep with zeros bites. water form the high 30s to the mid 40s. is it just not possible to crank bait fish with out graphs?
So TFO has worked with G Loomis before building some of their rods. Presently they have a Tactical Elite Series of rods that have Mag Bass (MBR) in the lineup...not sure if they have a similar action as G Loomis but just wanting to put it out there! Also, can TacticalBassin do some reviews of TFO rods this year???? I know TFO are one of the top manufacturers in the fly rod world, and them working with G Loomis before I think they could be in consideration for getting looked at!
Listen up folks and I can't stress this enough. These get Big Big bites. Sometimes the bites on and you can catch just as many as you would throwing a drop shot, but something about jigs will put a gorilla on the end of your line. I've gone completely down the rabbit hole of jig fishing just because of the size increase of fish I started catching. Its consistent and it works tight lines
Matty, why do like the lighter line 8-12 lb in clearer water? What’s wrong with 20 lb? Are you referencing that that line is too big and the bass will see it and less bites verse the 8-12?
Matt, in one jig video you recommend for the budget jig rod the slx 7'5" med hvy, and in this one you recommend the 7'5" hvy. What do I need to consider if I'm only going to get one, and I have a Bass X 7'4" heavy but want a dedicated jig rod. I appreciate any help.
Would love 2 see DeM jigs in the vid Jon makes sum of the best jigs in the country hands down one of my little secrets check em out would love 2 see a vid on the joe football think you could really get into sum big ones on it
So you think it would be acceptable to fish a football in a grassy, natural lake in the midwest? The weeds aren't terribly thick, especially in the spring
Tungsten is the " better" option all around because it is smaller at the same weight as lead and transmits bottom type better but it is also considerably more expensive. I think personally that fishing with braid and a decent rod gets you most of the sensitivity you'll need in jig fishing, being made with tungsten is just the icing on the cake.
Matt: Giving the BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front) on the two jigs that you would use if limited to two was a stroke of genius. Keep doing that. When you give us the punchline at the beginning, it sells the rest of the video. In addition, if we don’t have enough time to watch the whole vid the short teaching point at the beginning is money. Thanks.
^^^^ What he said
Agreed!!
This guy said it all
Agreed.
well worded
Hey TacticalBassin I just caught my first big fish of the year with tackle you recommended. Thanks for everything.
Thumbs up Matt, I think spring is the best time to fish. Keep the videos coming, being English i need to learn as much as I can 👍👍👍👍👍
These videos make Mondays so much better. Thanks Tactical crew
got heavy into the jig game last year literally due to you guys hammering it so much..never looking back. Unbelievable results
StuR have any tips for someone trying to get into them? I really want to learn how to good with em.
@@Gulb180 My biggest piece of advice would be get the proper setup, flip that thing into the jungle, and reel down before hookset.

Try a strike king structure jig 1/2 oz with a rage craw or bug trailer (I cut em down a little). Works awesome!
Let’s go! Jiggin’ and joggin’. I loaded up on jigs so I could hone in on these techniques this year. Thanks for the info, Matt!

He buddy stay on your own site. Haha 😂

One of my favorite baits is a 6 sense divine swim jig it caught my Pb of 8.70 and a bunch of 4s and 5s . In magic bluegill for spawn
That divine swimjig is the truth, the screwlock keeper is the best on the market IMO
@@lexm0 That swimjig is legit. I throw it a lot. It catches big ones, small ones, open water, grass, docks, wood, ponds, lakes, and rivers. Only complaint is the primer under the paint is bright white. The head starts to look funny after the paint chips off. Doesn't seem to affect the bites though.
Cooper Rouse: Glad to hear you say that. I bought a bunch last year and never had the opportunity to use them. Happy to hear that I didn’t waste my money.

I love those bass patrol jigs the ones i have im not sure what the skirt is made out of but they flow so nice in the water

Was thinking about using jigs, but had to watch your video first to make sure i get the right thing.
Love the way you guys break it all down! Keep up the excellent videos!
I like black blue but I tare the tail off of a black ribbon tail worm in my box and use that for a trailer , thanks for the video
Great video Matt. Thanks for making these! Super cool meeting you in Guntersville over the summer. You’re the man! 👊🏼
Great video I love jig fishing it’s my favorite thing to do
Most the lakes in my area have, no crap, blue and green pumpkin crawdads when the water temp is between 45-60. I would upload a picture if I could. That green pumpkin blue is an awesome choice for spring time!

Bass Patrol jigs are my staple. 3/8 is the go to. Caught hundreds on them
Fantastic video! I am really liking your spring fishing videos. Thanks for all the great tips guys!
Great video as usual Matt. Sounds like it's time for me to do some shopping for spring jigs, and trailers! lol Love these videos, so yes please, keep 'em coming.
No complaints here😂😂 not that I ever have a problem with anything you guys put out, great video👍👍
Perfect timing Man. I Love to throw them but just don’t because I have no confidence in that bait, was out yesterday throwing aJig and just got frustrated. Just can’t set the hook for the life of me. Keep doing what you guys some of us are still learning. 👍🏼

Nice. I need to work on my jig game this year.
Jig fishing is similar to Plastic Worm fishing. Feel the Light Pickup of the fish. Master the Worm technic & that transfers over to the Jig fishing.
It Did for Me & It Will for YOU.
Great video as usual. Will pick up some of those colors not in the arsenal.
That keitech murders in clear water and you hit it on the head about the 1/2oz size being almost too much. I bend out the Hooks all the time. Once again great info by the tactical guys.
I got a Texas Craw jig with a Rodent in Summer Craw as a trailer. I call it the little matt.
Awesome video Matt. So much good info. TW is gonna get hit hard today buddy!!! Thanks guys!!!!
Awesome tips
Gotta step up my jig fishing! I spoke with Denny Brauer at the Classic this weekend. He told me not to be afraid to throw it in the jungle!!
Video is released earlier than expected . Working hard guys! keep it coming 👍
Great info man - thanks so much.
🏆🏆🏆 bring on the trophy Bass, thank you Matt and Tim 👍🤙
Thanks for the tips!
More thing to try and work on. Just can`t wait for ice out and get back out fishing! Mid-November it`s been too long...
Matt, if you were fishing a lake that had a combination of muddy/stained/clear water, would you pick 3 different colors or would you prefer to pick an all-around good color for it?

Matt your outstanding. Dude are you still guiding. I put in a request 2 times and have not heard back on either of them.
Thanks Shaun!! I'm so sorry you haven't heard back. I'm still guiding but 2020 has been booked solid for quite a while so I dont check email as often as I should. I should have an auto reply that conveys that, I'm sorry it didnt come through! I'll go figure out what's going on.
Great video as always, thanks. I've been slaying the largies with that Bass Patrol jig. The price is right and it works well. Also the smallie beaver from Reaction Innovation's is a great trailer option for finesse jigs. Thanks again and have a good one

6th Sense Divine Swim Jig + Squarebill crankbaits = My favorite spring time baits.
What do you guys think of the 6th sense rods? Lux Series, Divine Series, Sensory Series, and Unicorn Series.. a video breakdown of each and how they compare to each other and even different brands would be a hit!!!
I caught an 11.6 bass when I was 13 with a peanut butter and jelly colored jig late march rush of a life time
Thank you so much for the knowledge Matt and Tim!
Caught my second bass of the year on a flipping jig today!!
Been fishing the beast coast flipping jig and swim jig heavily for the last couple years and have been very impressed, would love to hear your opinion, especially the double wide weed guards. Your jig fishing videos are the best!
Can you please do a best lures and baits for pond fishing video
Caught my first ned rig fish yesterday
Awesome tips Matt!!!Hoping for a new PB this year👍👍👍
Wooooooooooo! I'm ready.
Hey Matt, first of all thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us. You said that you would throw a football jig in smaller rock, but not in really big rock. I'm just curious as to your reasoning for not throwing it in the big rock. Can you elaborate on that a little bit. Thanks.
Preach my brotha!

I want to like jigs but I've pretty much given up on them. All I catch in my local ponds is the grass/weeds off the bottom. I'm gonna have to give them another try though as I've already spent $ on several jigs.
Go lighter especially with a trailer. My go to is a bitsy bug1/8 or 3/16 with a craw papi trailer
If your pond bottom is full of grass and muck, it's gonna be hard to fish a jig. Use a strike king fluro flipping jig in a 3/8 size or even smaller would be better. But really There's just no way around it.
Can this be applied to kayak fishing as well. I fish from a 10 ft sit on top kayak

What is that?
Geese?
Hey Matt, I have a lot of Hula Grub-style double-tail grubs, mostly Chompers garlic-scented double-tail grubs. What do you think of using Hula Grubs in place of the finesse jig and double-tail grub?
I get jiggy with it on the Susquehanna to catch the biggy smallmouth bass, yo! The biggy smallmouth go cray cray for the jigs
i just ordered a GLX 854C and im super nervous about it as it’s my most expensive Rod purchase to date. I own an 822s IMX Pro Mag Medium DSR which is frankly the perfect shaky head drop shot and 2.8 keitech rod on the market.... obviously you can go higher in price with GLX and NRX and they’d be better but the 822s in general is amazing. I’m hoping this 854c can be a bit more versatile than what i’ve seen of it, i think i can use it for open water weighted t rigs and jig to heavy cover lily pads
Can u do a review on the trash master jig
Have you guys tried the Phenix feather line of rods at all?
hey guys ive been putting in some serious work with your DD cranks. I figured my pond was small enough (200acres) id be able to find them bet they are completely MIA. I don't have electronics but there is a distinct 30 ft deep spot that is the only spot deeper than 18 feet. ive fished every inch within 100 yards of that spot and im definitely 20+ hrs deep with zeros bites. water form the high 30s to the mid 40s. is it just not possible to crank bait fish with out graphs?
So TFO has worked with G Loomis before building some of their rods. Presently they have a Tactical Elite Series of rods that have Mag Bass (MBR) in the lineup...not sure if they have a similar action as G Loomis but just wanting to put it out there! Also, can TacticalBassin do some reviews of TFO rods this year???? I know TFO are one of the top manufacturers in the fly rod world, and them working with G Loomis before I think they could be in consideration for getting looked at!
There’s just something about pitching a jig somewhere and landing a big one right where she should be
Best jig and trailer for the east ca delta? So much grass everywhere
Listen up folks and I can't stress this enough. These get Big Big bites. Sometimes the bites on and you can catch just as many as you would throwing a drop shot, but something about jigs will put a gorilla on the end of your line. I've gone completely down the rabbit hole of jig fishing just because of the size increase of fish I started catching. Its consistent and it works tight lines
@tacticalbassin can you guys show the No Jack hook next to the Hack Attack hook? Id love to see them side by side.
What’s your take on the Poison Adrena 72H?
Hey Matt, just wondering, for the swim jig why don’t you throw it in a black and blue?
Hey Matt, What's a good rod for the finesse jigs ?
*TacticalBassin need your opinion/thoughts on rubber vs silicon skirts...js*
Are these rods medium heavy power, moderate action?
Matty, why do like the lighter line 8-12 lb in clearer water? What’s wrong with 20 lb? Are you referencing that that line is too big and the bass will see it and less bites verse the 8-12?
Matt, in one jig video you recommend for the budget jig rod the slx 7'5" med hvy, and in this one you recommend the 7'5" hvy. What do I need to consider if I'm only going to get one, and I have a Bass X 7'4" heavy but want a dedicated jig rod. I appreciate any help.
Would love 2 see DeM jigs in the vid Jon makes sum of the best jigs in the country hands down one of my little secrets check em out would love 2 see a vid on the joe football think you could really get into sum big ones on it
Here we are 2 years later and tournaments being won on that big bites baits Tilapia color! 👀
So you think it would be acceptable to fish a football in a grassy, natural lake in the midwest? The weeds aren't terribly thick, especially in the spring
Wondering when to throw a tungsten or regular lead head jig.. little confused
Tungsten is the " better" option all around because it is smaller at the same weight as lead and transmits bottom type better but it is also considerably more expensive. I think personally that fishing with braid and a decent rod gets you most of the sensitivity you'll need in jig fishing, being made with tungsten is just the icing on the cake.
Matt when are you gonna tell us about your "coming soon" compact football jig?
