I'm 3 months into fishing and have fallen in love with jig fishing and him and Seth are my guys, you can tell they have some much experience and knowledge and that's priceless for someone like me , also they way he explains himself is just so clear and logical you can't not understand what he's saying
I hit the like button before I watched video bc anything that hackney says about jig fishing ( fishing in general really ) is going to be worth listening to. Taking his advice on jigs is what gave me confidence in jigs, now I have atleast one type of jig tied on 100% of the time.
Nick Cavazos I'm with you, a jig should be a staple, although in the last few years I have used some chatterbaits similar to jigs (Zman makes a weedless). It's odd, but it works...got footage of it on my channel.
JIG stands for just inticing giants in my book! I never threw a jig when I first started bass fishing and I was missing out! Now I always have one or two tied on. Got to love hackney!👊💥
Greg’s heavy cover swim jig is one of my go-to jigs, period. It works well as a swim jig but it also doubles nicely as a skipping jig, etc. Sometimes I don’t even change my paddle tail trailer. I’ll just throw it like a pitching jig and let it drop…works great 🤷♂️ Sometimes I feel like guys overthink their jigs…as far as I care, if it’s got the right profile/color and it doesn’t hang up, it’s good to go.
So I'm trying to step up my jig fishing game, I watched all of the Greg Hackney videos I could, decided my current jigs were old and dated so i went out to my local bait shop and handpicked some nice looking jigs and trailers using Greg Hackneys advice, went to a nearby lakeshore, super excited and anxious, I tied on a flouro leader and then tied on the one expensive $12 casting jig that I talked myself into splurging on, instead of the several $4-$6 jigs i bought. I Adjusted the brakes accordingly, Rared back, aimed for a super bass-y looking spot about 20yds along the shoreline, let her fly and pop, that beatiful $12 jig flew about 60 yds into the water and the end of my braided line was flapping in the wind about 10ft in front of me.... Apparently my reel had a minor back lash that I somehow didn't notice before casting. I threw my rod back in the truck, loaded up and went home after donating that $12 jig to the bottom of the lake... 😂 😂
Great info. I rely started jigging more last year. Did ok and still lots of work to do. Usually start with small lizards or brushogs and move to frogs and jerkbaits. As the year goes I stay with frogs and start using swim baits.
I have decide to put everything up and just throw. Jigs this year. Need to learn some how, And I will still fish my 12 - 14 tournaments this year that way in 2018.
Last Saturday I fished a black and blue and a green pumpkin jig from 7:30 am to 3 pm on the banks in coves in deeper water and everywhere I didn't get one single bite all day long and the last 6 trips it's been the same. Do I just suck or what?
This is 3 years old but this guy is spilling knowledge! It's hard to deliver a message while being filmed and talking, but if you're smart- you'll pick up on his small cues. Size, color tweaking, matching color to sunfish forage, swimming jigs on flat cover...etc. the man is an encyclopedia.
Hack is so cool..he starts talking and just keeps going..it’s like he doesn’t know he knows as much about fishing until he starts talking.. That hat tho....😏
so if it is okay for you to make such comments about someone else's appearance means it is perfectly okay for other people to make the same comments about your looks ,,, right??? JACK ASS!!!
I wonder if he wears those hats when he is booking it 50 mph or more across a lake. I would want a tight fitting hat, he is an angler. Not a fashion model
I hate in these type of "instructional" fishing videos, the cameraman keeps the camera pointed on the anglers back. I want to see where they are casting to. What parts of a feature they are presenting at? Are they casting multiple times to the same spot? Are they fanning from side to side of the structure on their casts or going straight to the heart of cover? Who cares about the back of the guys shirt... Well I guess sponsors do, but I watch these videos to not only learn and improve my skill, but to live vicariously on days I can't be fishing myself. I love to watch the bait land and anticipate a strike as if I'm in that situation casting myself.
I know it's been awhile since u asked this question but I recently picked up a st Croix mojo bass rod for throwing jigs and im very impressed with the action and sensitivity of this brand and only around 140$!! Dobyns fury is also a good one at a little over 100$
Idk about Greg but where i'm at and what i fish is typically river systems and oxbows. 3/8ths jigs are my bread and butter for shallow cover (mainly brush, stumps, and laydowns where i'm at). That being said, with the main river system i fish, when it falls the bass fall with it. Inverse for rising water obviously. It's muddy or stained at best all year. Shallow cover for me 2-6' 3/8ths. 6-12' 1/2 oz. 12'-20' 3/4oz or 1 oz. I never fish those deeper depths unless i'm in the main river in a deep eddy. I just want it to get down quickly. We got on 3 seperate schools yesterday on the same spot at 3 different times. Found em with crankbaits on a creek mouth stacked up in about 14' of water sitting on a gravel patch on a clay ledge next to a big underwater brush pile. Tied on a 3/4 oz green pumpkin a with a paka craw dipped in chartreuse. We caught 37 off that one spot. Think i caught 16 of them. I'd get a couple with the crank and then the bite would stop. Started throwing the jig to the same spot over and over and they would absolutely crush it.
Yes, getting as far forward as reasonably possible is great for doing most of the "work" a bass fisherman needs to do. I use a bow mounted hand controlled Minnkota, steering with the handle between my legs and/or tapping the handle occasionally. It is interesting how Greg uses the "flippin'" word a lot, yet does NOT make a single flip! (At least in an interview he did about a year ago he said, "Pitchin', flippin'.....it's all the same to me". )
fish do not care about what type of jig you are using. i don't care either. i fish for food and not throwing them back. i feed families with the fish i catch.
This guy caught a fish you just didn't watch the whole video. If you don't have the patience to watch a 10-minute instructional video then you shouldn't be fishing
@@scottpetrie8707 pay attention when somebody's telling you how it is. You said he didn't catch a fish and I told you he did because obviously you have the patience of a child and did not finish the video. There was no opinions, only me putting you in your place so again, if you don't have the patience to finish this video before making dumbass judgments then you shouldn't be fishing at all. You now may go fuck yourself.
I could watch him explain this all day

One of the best informational videos I've seen.

You hate to see it happen
The Hack man and jigs u can never go wrong straight knowledge
Great info.

2:36 I wish I could skip a bait so effortlessly. Good info as always hand
watch some of the Andy Montgomery video's they have really helped me last year.
#RippinLipsInc On TH-cam
This is absolute GOLD
Great video!! Love throwing a jig on Guntersville.
I keep at least one back & blue jig tied on at all times ..ill change weights and styles but always a black & blue !
Getting all my gear ready now. Bout to hit bass pro and tighten those lines.Good luck this year fellas
*MoneyBassDOTcom*
Oh yeah! I'm already prepping my jigs for next year! Great tips Hackney.

What u doing on here lol
I have decide to put everything up and just throw. Jigs this year. Need to learn some how, And I will still fish my 12 - 14 tournaments this year that way in 2018.
Greg is a BOSS!
He’s my favorite

5:18 Awesome skip under that limb.
Sure was. Ever since I figured out how to skip cast, I've managed to snack a lot more fish. It's an incredible technique.

“What Would Gregg Hackney Do?”
Levi Riddle thrown a jig lol
Greg would tie jig on & catch fish, lol. I don't know about you, haha. 😄
Hackney is the man 👍
Hack is so cool..he starts talking and just keeps going..it’s like he doesn’t know he knows as much about fishing until he starts talking..
That hat tho....😏
good stuff broski 👍
Didn't realize how narrow that front deck is on a Bass cat
Does his hair pulled up in the back of his hat bug anyone else or just me? Lol
so if it is okay for you to make such comments about someone else's appearance means it is perfectly okay for other people to make the same comments about your looks ,,, right??? JACK ASS!!!
I wonder if he wears those hats when he is booking it 50 mph or more across a lake. I would want a tight fitting hat, he is an angler. Not a fashion model
I've lowered amounts of bites but increased weight and inches with a jig.
I would think the bluegill back spines would make a bass not want to eat them.
Hard to beat the Hack Attack!#RippinLipsInc.

I agree with you that would have been nice
Why does this guy sound exactly like Scott Martin??
The voices are a little similar, but not too similar, both tending to speak/instruct at a fairly fast pace.
Was thinking the same! "Real simple"
"Typically"
He is gonna catch em on a jig everytime
What’s a good sensitive jig rod under $200.? Fishing fairly heavy cover.
I know it's been awhile since u asked this question but I recently picked up a st Croix mojo bass rod for throwing jigs and im very impressed with the action and sensitivity of this brand and only around 140$!! Dobyns fury is also a good one at a little over 100$
Shimano crucial
Shimano expride or Zodias
Who else useda use Uncle Joshs real porks back in tha day? Just thought about those days for some reason...
what weight jig do you like to use in dirty water compared to clear water ? fishing in shallow water like 1 to 5 feet ... From Virginia !
Idk about Greg but where i'm at and what i fish is typically river systems and oxbows. 3/8ths jigs are my bread and butter for shallow cover (mainly brush, stumps, and laydowns where i'm at).

Hack got it going on
Greg wears chacos... that is awesome
I know right it's just second nature to hack one day I'll be on these vids
Is hackney rolling a basscat now?
It’s a MLF boat
Yeah thats a z18. Ike z18 for MLF has Bass cat decals too.
Not a Z18, look at the trolling motor foot recess, Basscats are more forward....easier for flippin.
2:37 talking, explaining, thinking, casually skipping.
If I were to double my jig bites..I would catch 2 fish in the next 40 yrs
& that's why no one will remember your name, lol. 😄
Who else thinks Greg would love the trashmaster jig!
is this as ad?
for being a badass?
I've changed colors before and just change their whole attitude.
I’m gon get some bites
Hackney looks much better in the basscat
It took him forever but he finally caught one
If you were to blindfold me I would think it was a Scott Martin video
I thought Hack was a Phoenix guy
MLF boat, Nitro or BassCat. notice how close he is to the front of the boat, great for flippin, Basscats are awesome!

Tell your camera man to zoom slower.
you know..
He sounds like Theo Von
how to skip tutorials by greg
this guy is like 007, zero fish , zero bite, 7 hours. lol
I think he needs a bigger hat?🤷🏼♂️
He's in a cat??
Nice guy. However go watch KVD. He actually caught fish while informing you on the jig.
This guy caught a fish you just didn't watch the whole video. If you don't have the patience to watch a 10-minute instructional video then you shouldn't be fishing
JokeRGBlazE all good, opinions vary. Enjoy.

@@scottpetrie8707 Good.
Show what your using wtf
All that yapping and not one fish did you catch. Not while I was watching ‼️
He caught a fish after 10 minutes I tried watching the whole video
Yeah you watched the whole video obviously
