ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ส.ค. 2024
- Jig fishing is EASY in the Summer! Keep it simple, focus on key jig styles in key colors and fish with confidence. By simplifying your method, you'll have more confidence this Summer and you'll catch more fish. We've narrowed it down to 3 jigs to get you through all of your Summer bass fishing.
Anglers often get caught up in the hype of new lures and colors. Some of these new offerings make a huge difference and stay in the arsenal permanently, others simply distract you from your confidence baits for a time. Today we've narrowed our Summer options to a finesse jig, a pitchin' jig, and a flipping' jig. These 3 jigs and a handful of trailers will work in every situation you come across on the water.
Below is a breakdown of the jigs, including color recommendations. We've also included the jig trailers as well as the rods and reels we have confidence in for this fishing style. Don't let the dog days of Summer get you down, this is prime time to get out there and catch a bunch of bass!

Glad it's been helpful for you!
I typed this on my phone in a separate app. So I fixed all the typos and did all the formatting there. Then, I just copied and pasted from my note app to here.
Best channel out there for info on baits and lures. Y’all give quality tips that others don’t give. Always look forward to you guys videos!
Im not new to fishing, but i am to Bass fishing. You have already taught me so much, and of courseTackle warehouse loves me because of you!!! Thanks so much! Keep up the great teaching videos!!
.01 seconds in and I might as well open up tackle wharehouse 😂 love the videos ! My first year seriously bass fishing and I’ve learned so much, thanks!
Just hit show more, scroll down, hit what you want to check out TW will come right up. Then hand over your wallet ! Works every time !
Matt and Tim,
I’ve been fishing for a couple of years now, and watch you channel regularly. I fish ponds in suburbia outside of DC. My confidence baits have been square bills, jerk baits, spinners and Texas rigs. For years I was frustrated with jigs, never catching anything. I have a couple of spots where I can catch large mouth regularly, but all pretty small.
This year, after hearing you say that jigs tend to catch bigger fish, I committed to using them more. In the last few months, I’ve caught four on a jig, and three of the four were PBs or close to it.
I’m now a jig believer and have one tied on at all times.
Thanks for all the great content.
Cheers!!!
Hands down I’ve learned more from these guys than anybody else over the year’s. Keep it up guys 🤙🏻
They're a national treasure.
Matt, your a professor of bass fishing my man. And your very informative.
Ive learned more from you guys than school! Thanks for my smallie and largie pb! Keep it up
Nick Mandeville much more useful information than school!!
I love the TacticalBassin guys.... I learn more in 5 minutes most of the time than I do from a day on the water.....
Thanks Tim and Matt! You guys are the best! I appreciate all the knowledge you guys have given me over the past 3 years I have been watching your channel!
One of the BEST fishing videos EVER!! Keep up the great work!!
Everytime I have a question about fishing you always happen to put out a video explaining exactly what I want to know, amazing content and channel!
The master bass educator. Thanks, Matt.
Man you have no idea how much your channel has taught me over the last year about fishing. I have caught some of the biggest fish ever this year because of your knowledge. Thanks and keep it coming brotha!
Thank you for the vid I’ve never had any luck with this jig but your teaching me what I am doing wrong 👍🏻
Learned more about throwing baits in just three videos with you guys than 3 yrs compiled half hazard knowledge and practice in the past... absolutely amazing teaching strategy! Thanks a ton😁
Thank you Nathan!
Anyone else find these guys during quarantine. I’ve bought a kayak and my confidence has changed because of these guys
Also my first year bass fishing and Matt is my go to guy! I’ve been having a difficult time since the weather got very hot along with the water. I just set up four jigs while watching this video! Hopefully, tomorrow, they will pay off! Thanks Matt! Love your videos...
I've been bass fishing came near my whole life, Tim and Matt are the real deal. Best info out there.
Thanks Bob! I’ve watched many videos but I gravitated to these two gentlemen. Regretfully, I forgot to mention Tim and my original comment but it’s good to hear from an experienced bass fisherman and then I’m on the right track. Thank you for your comment
@@macman0117 You are welcome sir. And absolutely keep watching these guys, they will not steer you wrong.
My favorite finesse jig is a strike king bitsy bug with a netbait tiny paca craw!
Great idea! I'm going to try that. I've been using the Rage Menace as its trailer since it has great but subtle action. With the Paca Craw's more aggressive action, you could probably no longer consider it a "finesse" bait. (Just joking)
Next Spring, try putting the full size Paca on a structure or flipping jig. If you've never tried it, you'll be pleased with the results.
You and Tim always deliver amazing content. Keep up the great work!
Finess jig - 6:02 throw
Pitching jig - 6:45 flippin/pitchin
Flippin jig - 16:00 throw 16:37 flip
Are these all interchangeable terms?
I stumbled onto you channel watching a Roland Martin video about three weeks ago. I have to say, you guys give THE best info on how to fish what, where, and under what circumstances that I have run into yet. Thanks so much for bringing an older guy up to speed!
Headed for the lake to flip the tules in an hour! I'm on it with a jig!
Hellllll yeah an updated jig video I just watched the 2017 one yesterday for the third time lol
I rarely throw a worm since i discovered finesse jigs. They're so compact, I don't have to worry about weight/worm separation, the tail doesn't wrap around stuff, you can skip, pitch, flip, or cast them, and they do tend to get a larger average fish. I love'em !
Last year I really got in to bass fishing. My first 5 lber and let me tell you I have been hooked EVER SINCE!!! I grew up fishing with live bait that first bass i caught on a jog was absolutely amazing. I'm gonna use these techniques thank you for the great info your awesome
This is My favorite channel for fishing.
I Can't believe how much I'm learning.
Thanks so much for teaching for something i love to do that gets my mind off everything.
You guys are great 🎣🙂
You guys are awesome I’ve watched every jig fishing and Texas rig flipping or pitching video y’all have at least 8 times each or even more for some of them. Texas rugs and jigs are my preferred ways of fishing keep them coming!
Tough to go to work after watching you Monday morning.
You got that right.
I didnt make it in today,,, I'm extremely sick today on the water fishing lol
Lol right
man. you just read my mind a year ago.
The encyclopedia of jigs. Love it👍🏼
Thanks for the summer tips! I'll definitely put your techniques to work on my local fisheries!
Matt. Again outstanding vlog. I like it some how you leave everything So Simple...Thank You.
Best channel on TH-cam, I swear... what other channel has such complete information?
Jig Fishing ... How it relates to smallies vs Largemouth? Might be a good topic....
Something I’d like to see as well!!
Would have to agree with the darker color while punching through grass. Last week Friday, I went out fishing afternoon where it is very very hot. Punching through grass and under docks, I caught this massive 4lbs Bass. I was using a craw on a jig, June bug color and I caught a few good fish with it. After watching this video it just makes a lot more sense why the bass took it as I was stroking it through the grass, mentioned by you in the video, Matt.
Maybe you could do a video about rattles in jigs, worms, or crankbaits? When to use rattles and when not to, weather condition implications, water color implications, seasonal pattern effects, etc. Looking forward to your opinion.
Another Banger Vid from Tactical Bassin! Thank's Matt & Tim we appreciate Ya!
Something I was playing around with this weekend was throwing a 3/16oz micro jig with a #1 sized hook...then throwing on a larger chunk bait or double tail grub, super slow and methodical fall and with the right plastic can get that perfect movement. Definitely going to be a technique i try more throughout the year, thinking the winter months when the fish are sluggish and seeing that bait slow fall like that will be killer
Very well presented and explained 😅
Always, some of the best fishing info on TH-cam. Thank you!
I watched your wobble head video and bought the Braillist afterward and it was worth it. I have not throw a jig on it yet because i throw a swing head a lot, and I throw Jigs on my NRX's. Thanks for all the great content!
Matt you are such a GREAT YOU TUBER keep up the good work
First youtube comment, been watching you guys for 2 weeks took your advice and went out and set my new PB! Thanks guys great work and knowledge much appreciated👍
I would like to see two types of ALL these vids, one for boats and one for shore fishermen. Specifically talking to each separate type of fishing. PLLLLLLLLEASE!!!!!!
Hey Bassin! Good morning! Thanks for uploading right before I’m about to go fishin our here in southeast Texas so now I can get some pro tips before I hit Walmart!
Trim the skirts and weed guard. That's possibly the most important part of jig fishing. Maybe it's common sense but I feel like alot of guys leave that part out on TH-cam. But there's also so much incredible info on here. Maybe too much lol. I think the tactical bassin Bois do talk about the skirts and weedguard in another video. They some bad boys
Great stuff! I just bought my first ever non-Walmart rod and reel today. I picked up a Shimano Trevala jigging rod and a Curado 200. Just started focusing on learning more about jigs and BAM! found this video, much appreciated :)
I think a jig fishing video of watching you and Tim fish different cover and structure with commentary would be awesome
So glad I found this channel! All this guys videos have helped me
Very informative man thanks, I've learned more about fishing this past month watching videos than I have in the last 30 years.
Another excellent teaching video.
Man, you did a great job. I haven't really done much jig fishing but I'm going to practice more after watching this video...Thanks
Every time you talk about casting etc. it cracks me up that you always do the finger thing 😂 👈🏼 like you’re holding a pretend gun. Soooo hilarious!
3:41 seconds Matts expression is gold.
Just caught a fatty shore fishing on Lake Champlain yesterday using a finesse jig with paddle tail trailer.
That's great info Matt, had one of my best jig days of the summer about 3 weeks ago on local Lake. The fish were in deeper brush all the points a lot of the fish were hitting it on the fall and some of the fish would just pick it up off the bottom you won't even feel the bite you just pick up on it and it would be heavy. Fishing with the Flippin style jig.
I love watching this channel. Great info, Great footage, and enjoyable high energy!!
Awesome video I just caught my biggest bass ever only 3 and 1/2 lb but I caught it on a Divine six sense swim jig half ounce black and blue
uguys are the best i look forward to the videos mon wed fri and in between look bck at older ones
Love these videos. I have taken so much info and tried to apply it the best I can. I just spent a bunch of July fishing Clearlake. The first part of the month was great, caught a good amount. The last half of the month changed a the bite got tough.
I can't wait to Stroke my Jig tonight!!!!
Gotta love a jig fishing video!
That Hawg at 7:20 ... NICE!!!
Hey Mat , you hit the nail on head , Class was in on this video for me ! Pick up a Bass Rider 10e , I'm getting off the bank . Thanks again stay cool !
When I saw the title of this video I am thinking this morning is going to be great because he will be talking about football jigs. I listen to the three jig types and not one he talks about is a football jig. I went from happy to ok. it makes up for it because its still all about bass fishing. I still learn things as always from these guys. I do have to say this channel is always informative no matter what is being talked about. great channel as always.
No one breaks it down as well as Matt. For those just learning about different types of fishing this is the guy to listen to 💯
I know they're up there in price and Gary moved to TX so seeing them in stores might be harder for you, but you should definitely try to give the Dobyns Xtasy series a look, I think you might like it. I have a DRX 724 and while I'm not catching monsters the 3lb spots(and a 8lb flathead) load that rod to about the middle of the blank, it has a standard fast action, but there is more give before the rod completely shuts off.
Your the best guy doing these bass fishing videos. Such good content and your a solid dude. You get a 👍
I learn so much from this channel. Keep up the good videos
I'm surprised Swim Jigs didn't make the list. Summer bass are munching heavily on shad, minnows, baby bass, and gills and the swim jig is the only jig used to imitate these fish. Granted, I love swimming my pitching jig through heavy Summer grass, but it still doesn't do what a swim jig can and that's looking like a fish. Anyway, just my $.02 on the matter. I did enjoy the video and have learned a couple new techniques to try.
I know your particular about your gear but why I've been using for the medium sized jigs is a sixgill fishing cypress 7"6 medium heavy one of my favorite go to to tie a jig on with 20lb flouro it has great back bone and can drive a hook from a full cast with ease
If there was only 1 lure i was allowed to use for the rest of my life. It would be the jig, most versatile bait in the world.
I straight up use my heavy power crankbait rod. It's very rare when I get bit on a jig with rod that I lose that fish because of the more parabolic action it has. People make fun of me all the time for what I fish a jig on. You know what, I don't care. It works for me.
Great jig video TB! I try almost everything, technique wise, yall bring to us. I still haven't caught a glide bait fish after a year or so of trying! If yall could do another how to glide bait video I would love to learn more! Thanks for all yall do for us!
Dude this is killer stuff . Exactly what I’ve been looking for ! I appreciate you brother
Trank you guys from Germany! I like to fish with jigs here and your tips and tricks are very usefull to catch big riverperch (German: Flussbarsch)! Thanks
Another great video. Love how you break everything down. Keep up the great work sir.
good stuff right here!!! cant wait to go jiggin now!!
If Anybody Here to Learn and Hear my Dawg say *Matt Allen Here, Welcome back to TacticalBassin* Give him a Thumb Up!
Great stuff as always Matt! Thanks!
Super informative vid, thanks
You guys are so dang informative. Thanks for sharing your experience, really helping me out 👍🎣. And your underwater footage is epic, helping me get the most action out of worms and creature baits
MATT! I love your guys videos. However after Scrolling through your extensive video log i noticed two things that you have not covered videos on. 1. Night fishing. 2. Fishing the full moon And maybe fishing night around the full moon. Lol Learned more from you guys than all my years growing up in Florida.
Thank you!! I hate to day it but you may have missed them... search "tacticalbassin night fishing" or "tacticalbassin moon" and you'll find a few. Word is a new one is on it's way though 😉
Caught my best bass on a jig this past Saturday!
Awesome video Matt,covered every detail 👊👊👍
Love these videos. They have taught me so much
Thanks for the tips guys keep up the good work!!!
Jigs from Mr.B lure company are 🔥🔥🔥🔥 y’all should try them best jigs made
Those fish are crazy. Where is this filmed? My buddy and I want to hire a guide to show us how to catch a 7+ lb fish. A decent bass in New England is 2-3#. There are a few 8lb - 12 lb in our local honey hole in MA but there has only been 7 or 8 fish this size reported throughout the years. Bass don't tend to get huge up here although the record is like 16.6 lbs. It's probably more likely we just don't know how to get those humongous hog bass. Plenty of big trout and Pike in this region too...but here again...must know how to locate them and catch them. Another awesome freaking video. I was throwin those big swim baits that you taught in your incredible video of actual live bass in habitat smackin' the baits...and they were whacking it last night! It was a totally aggressive feeding frenzy like I never experienced...I put 10 in the boat with the techniques I learned here ...one after another...all fish above 3lbs...in a period of 25 minutes. Love this channel and particularly love the live bass in habitat videos. I got my fishin buddies lovin this now..just as much as me. Keep it Up!
Great Video! Riot makes a smaller beaver called "Little Fuzzy" so you may not need to cut off those first 4 ribs
Good video man i took a couple recommendations ive been sucking this summer but you touched up on some stuff i need to try 10 out of 10 on this video
Manbearpig lol. Matt your the man. One of these days I might go up North just to have you guide me. I have Castaic and Casitas but I know your probably not coming down here for that lol.
Seeing the under water footage of bass take the jigs so subtly makes me wonder how many good sized bass I’ve missed.
TYLOR GREAT ENJOY IT......
11:05 Too much info, Matt! 😂😂😂
Definitely gonna try that stroke retrieve. Thx
Nice video thanks!
Thanks for the tips. I have learned a lot off of yalls Channel. Lee the awesome videos am great content coming
