- What the heck is the deal with putting a trailer on a jig? Is there a need for jig trailers, and does it help you catch more fish, or cause you to catch less fish and waste more $$?? In this video, I explain my thoughts and experience for fishing for bass with jigs, and why I use trailers on all my jigs. SUBSCRIBE if you like bass fishing to join Team TylersReelFishing!

I met an old guy who made his own jigs i asked him what time of year was the best for jigs and he replied: yes. Best advice ive heard
Genius
In the last 3 days I’ve watched no less than 25 of your videos😂
Hahaha
Good to know I’m not the only one..!
Facts
Ya, this is what I binge watch for sure. 😂
Hi Kendall I love your videos
I will never unsubscribe from you. You are literally the reason I catch fish. Thanks Tyler!
YOU ROCK🙌🏼
Really enjoy your informative videos, I've got many lakes in Wisconsin that match your description that I fish
@@TylersReelFishing congrats on the engagement!
Yeah I really thought Tyler everything I know. He ended up becoming a better fisherman then me. Now he's teaching me. As a father really proud of that boy and all his achievements. He's also a very good son I could not have asked for a better one. Love you Tyler.
All the links to the tackle I mentioned are in the description! Shopping for your tackle there would help me out a ton! Thanks!
Good, because i want to order today. Good luck fishing today!
Hi bro
EXCELLENT EXCELLENT INFORMATION.
I watch your channel religiously and learn so much. 39yrs old and starting to fish again and you help a lot. thanks again.
Thanks so much for watching Chris!
I seriously love this guy, his videos are honestly the best in terms of explaining and breaking things down easily. Thank you Tyler.
For colors, I have found matching jigs and trailers to match the forage of the lake I fish. Example the craws in my lake are brown on the exterior parts(such as the legs and pinchers) and the main body and head is black. So I match a brown jig with a black trailer.
Great information on turning craw sideways for Bluegill tails...can't wait to try...when I was a young lad, the only trailer we had was a Uncle Josh pork rind..they worked great, only problem was if the jar leaked or spilled in your tackle box....you had a serious mess...lol...thanks again for the lesson...
I love all your content you inspire me to be a better angler and Christian keep up the good vibes and content
Thanks for the kind words chance!
Watched this vid last night n swapped out my trailer to “match the hatch” n landed my pb this morning 🤘🤘
Let’s goooo
Tyler, I just want to say thank you for being so detailed about this subject-as always.
Be blessed.
I love your energy! You always look like you just popped a double dose of pre-workout.😂
Bro I just found your channel .. I’ve watched 3 videos so far very informative!! And your intro is dope
Heck yeah!! Glad to have ya around!
I swear, you are the ONLY person that actually gets to the point and teaches. Ever since i found you i dont watch anybody els but you and you have my respect forever. Please never stop making videos, idk what i would do lol
Best channel on TH-cam by far. I’d love to go fishing with Tyler. That would be Epic.
Thanks so much!
Man you make it look easy. I’ve learned a lot watching your videos. I still wish I could pull fish one after the other the way you do.
I’m still a strong believer in finding what works, yourself. But getting started can be so complicated. And you really help people including me starting off.
Exactly what I’m here for👍🏼
Also, if I can add something I use them for and in my personal opinion, you can also use these in green and black to imitate a frog 🐸 the bass in my area LOVE IT 🔥
I love your videos brother, best informative fishing on TH-cam, PERIOD!
Love all the videos! I moved to baitcasters and have just explored the world of fishing. Thank you! 😁
Hey, man. This video helped me a ton! I can't begin to tell you how much I've just learned. Thank you very much for this video.
Glad it helped!
Very informative, thank you. This really helped me figure out what to do with jigs. Best color that ive found for my pond in texas is an alabama craw jig usually on a bandito bug or kraken kraw. Okeechobe craw is also a great color in dingy water ive found.
Glad you learned something!
I learned a ton as usual. As for the people giving you trouble about being sponsored, Strike King is a super company who makes tried and true lures. It also makes it easier when you shop. I loved your response a few comments down "What, do you expect me to talk about other brands?' Anyway, thanks for all your well made, super informative videos.
Amen! Thanks for the support bud
Look no where else. Always the most info and complete guide in one video
Thanks pavel!
I agree on just about everything.. Great information and tips.. The only thing thing I see a little different through my experiences is that the trailer doesn't always have to match the jig. The most success in the Green pumpkin jig with a red algae crawl trail. That 1 did match. But the one that I use throughouse the Spring and Summer when the temp's got hot was a black blue with a white paddle tail.
I have heard a few people say black and blue works with white. I might have to give it a try
Tyler, you rock young man.Thanks for your vid's and keep up the good 'work'
I literally found walmart started selling strike King swimjig kits it comes with that white swimjig with 2 mini menaces in the box! And you put this video out🤔 that's so crazy!!
Nice! Good timing
Also, guess I know what I’m talking about haha
I love fishing jigs; however I never have any luck with a swim jig. I look forward to using your tips. Thanks!
Good luck!
I love your videos bro! I believe that yours and Fish the Moment are the best all around complete tutorial videos for bass fishing. I would love to see you two guys team up and do a video. I could only imagine how much we'd learn from that. Both of you are very good at explaining in detail all of the techniques, strategies and fundamentals of bass fishing. You both make efficient use of the time and all of your words. Just about every single second of your videos are packed with great information. And you both do it with so much passion for what you do. I simply love it! There are a TON of channels out there, and a large portion of them are good. But for someone who is not a seasoned fisherman, your content is spot on. Thank you brother! I appreciate all of your efforts, and I pray that you are rewarded for the great job that you do. God bless you bro 🙏 Keep 'em tight 🎣🐟❤️💪💯 ✌️
Man, what a great comment! Thank you so much for the kind words, that means so much!
@@TylersReelFishing sure thing Tyler! It's nothing but the truth. And I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. I was curious about something. Did those guys in the canoe have any success with the jigs and tips you gave them? It's tough learning how to fish new ways sometimes. I honestly don't try enough new stuff. And I don't stick with the ones I do try very long. I've got a bad habit of just going with what has caught me fish in the past. But that limits me soooooo much. Unfortunately though, I don't really get much time to fish. I try to go a couple of days a week at least, but it's only a little before and a little after work. So I don't get much time to REALLY experiment. It sucks 😔 Because, as you know, they aren't feeding the same way, in the same spot, with the same presentation everyday. I try to change up my retrieves, trailers, and colors some... but beyond that I don't change much. And my problem is that I am STUCK on chatterbaits. I love them! I don't jig or worm fish much. I'll tell you why. Because I honestly feel like I miss so many fish just because I don't know I got bit, and that's frustrating. I bought a couple of fairly nice rods, I use braid to fluoro leader, and I try to use tungsten when I can... but I still feel like I am getting bites that I don't know I'm getting. And I just don't get how you seem to know the fish is there, and know when to reel down and set the hook. If you have any tips, I am ALL EARS! Because I really need to move out of my comfort zone and really invest the time and stick with things I'm not comfortable with until I get comfortable. Anyway, thanks again. P.S... I think I like the chatterbait so much because I feel connected to it and I know it's doing what it's supposed to be doing because of the vibration. Thanks for any info 🙏✌️🎣
@@LovinGodandmusic I believe one of those guys in the kayak made a comment on the video, but I don't remember which person it was.
Tyler, I just reread my original comment to you, and saw something that I hope you didn't misread and misunderstand. When I said "... for someone who is not a seasoned fisherman, your content is spot on"... I was talking about how beneficial your content was for the unseasoned fisherman. I wasn't saying that YOU were an unseasoned fisherman, lol. I just wanted to clear that up in case it came across like that 😉
Ty for all you do your the reason i bass fish
Heck, yeah! I love to hear that
Tyler! I’m Corey from Pa! Just started watching you a few weeks ago, and I’m HOOKED! I’m always ready to hear you “talk about it” love what you do man 🙌🎣
Awesome, glad to have ya on board!
This dude smart asf I never thought of putting the trailers sideways to imitate a fish
I’m just teaching what was once taught to me!
Great info man. It's a great starting place.
Hands down, best fisherman ytber ever bro. I love this channel so much
Thanks so much Mr. bruh 🙌🏼
Thank you !
I prefer Jig and Chatter baits too. I just have better luck that way. Love it
Great video as always Tyler. Helps so many people including myself
I’m glad!
Back n the blue 🇺🇲
Red and white spoon. Hand down, itl catch everything from bass to pike to yellow perch.
Still liking your tips. I only get to go bass fishing two weeks a year, so all the information helps. I know loads about carp fishing as we do that here in the UK. Easy to follow well explained. Good job
🙌🏼
Tyler, thanks once again for all the great information! Grandma Rita
only cought 1 half pounder today but i only had 15 min and i used these techniques for a swim jig
Awesome!
Great video! I learned a lot. New to fishing and live in Iowa. The only thing you can do is watch videos this time of the year.
Just passed through Iowa this week! Thanks for watching!
NO ONE makes the kind of content you do, I’ve learned so much from you in my 6 months of bass fishing. Thank you!
Suggestion: I recently expanded my fishing arsenal to a kayak but my last 5 trips (each time 6 hours) I’ve come up empty...skunked!!! I’m getting so frustrated I’m thinking about getting rid of my yak and stick to bank fishing. I’m literally stumped and frustrated. It would be so appreciated if you could do a segment on what a bank fisherman is doing wrong when starting out on a yak/boat. Keep up the awesome videos Tyler! God bless!!! 🙏
I am definitely going to cover that in the fall when i do more kayak fishing. Don't have my kayak with me for the next month
TylersReelFishing Thank you so much!!
@@TylersReelFishing Yes! Kayak fishing content would be awesome!
Okay I agree with almost all of this video except the part where you said that you need to match trailers. In my experience as long as you are close ish to the jig color you will be fine. My best week of jig fishing was at Lake of the Ozarks using a Chompers and Jewel pb&j jig with a reactions inovations black and blue flake beaver. It was a weird mix I did after I ran out of zoom super speed craws but it put me on a pattern where I would catch 30 fish an hour during key hours.
None of this was meant to be hate in anyway just putting my experience out there
Tyler this video was very helpful definitely will be trying this tomorrow. I’m just getting in to fishing jigs.
Highly informative, plan on using swim jig soon. To much slime beds where I fish presently. Need to be above them also lots of Lilly pads
All the bass fishing tips are all interesting to know of and getting better at!! Although some of the videos are way to long and I’m just feeling eager to get to the right point. So I’m just wondering if u could make shorter videos more often!!! Thanks, great blogger and TH-camr, highly recommend!!!⚓️🎓🐳🎣
I will be doing some shorter ones soon
Thank you so much Tyler! I just got my first nice bait caster and this helps me a lot with tips and tricks. On my property there is two ponds and they are full of 5 pounders I love to fish everyday and you’re videos help me find new baits to use. Keep up the good work 😁
Heck yeah!! So glad to have ya around
Great trailer tutorial
Thanks Larry!
I’m. One of those guys. Young man 😄😄. A Stanley jig. n. Uncle josh. Pork. Way. Way back. I like your videos. Different ideas different people. Ohhh. !!!! Nice Texas Bass also. Maybe I’ll see you here in Minnesota 👍
Hopefully we can meet up at the lake one day!
Thank you
What size jig is your go to jig and trailer? Keep the video coming. Thanks
Go to is the juice jig in 1/2oz: bit.ly/2lCBIk8
Trailer is this: bit.ly/3fsjb0d
20:20 when I'm about to get a bite i hear this music in my 🧠 🤯
I like using the Rage Menace on my chatterbaits and swim jigs. For bluegill I use the hard candy or candy craw. And since the ponds I fish have a lot of crappie I use the bluegill color with a green pumpkin shad skirt. To me it imitates crappie pretty well. The bass seem to agree. 😁
Another great video I can't believe I missed this one. I've been meaning to ask you, is that a bug repellent clip on your hat? If so what brand is it?
It’s not bug repellent, it was an old piece of tech I used to wear
You answer questions I have always wanted to ask but been embarrassed to do so
I’m so glad you’re learning!
I love a SK menace! I have many colors & sizes.🤑
I have been binge watching your videos the last two days. Love the way you explain everything for us. Not bad for a Aggie 🤘🏼. All kidding aside, I am learning and relearning so much. As I am new to JIGs, can you talk a little on what size you use? I’m not sure which size/weight Jigs to buy?
Howdy! Search “TylersReelFishing jig”, and in that video with the 4 jigs in the thumbnail I think I talk about that in detail
Thanks. That is exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks. That is exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks. That is exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks. That is exactly what I was looking for.
That intro is cool😎
You Taught me something about a jig
Heck yeah! My exact goal
TylersReelFishing can I get A shout out for the next video
Plz😃
Great video
I run the googan skipping head jig with a bandito bug, not a fanboy but the hook and weed gaurd is killer on the jig is good and bandito bugs are legendary
Your the best you tuber ever I’m a fishermen to
Hold the heck up! When you said turn the craw sideways on a swim jig that blew my mind I would have never thought of that. Next trip that's the first thing I'm trying lol.
Yes sir! Not guaranteeing you more success, that is just what I have found success with as opposed to the other way
Thank you for the great tips how do you know if you retrieving to fast or to slow
Just gotta test both out and see how you get bit
I was on my 12th fish and I let a buddy cast on the big girl at the end and his first crushed all mine in size.
Got him hooked on buying a kayak to rip lips 💋
great video as always! keep it up!
Thanks Ethan!
Great video brotha!!👊🏼
Just found your channel, enjoying all your vids. Question: what about paddle tail trailer? Any thoughts on those vs. creature trailer?
I use a paddle tail as a trailer if the fish are feeding on more cylindrical styles of baitfish. But the trailer that actually best represents the body shape of a shad, is a twin sided grub like the menace
Haha i love watching your videos and your content is very informative (and overwhelming as a brand new angler). I just find it funny how many ways there are to skin a cat. I dont know anything about lures, i put a live cricket on a small hook and caught a bass today haha i just wonder what the fish know about the difference between all these hundreds of lures
Trust me, they do haha
Your cool I’m a fan
Brø
I know people like seeing bent poles
Any chance you show a little more pacing and touch than just just the slam?
Thx
That’s even more helpful, also
🌵🧀🐠
Love your content bro!!
Appreciate it Marcus!
If you think getting an elaztech bait on a heavy duty hook, you really would have hated getting an Uncle Josh pork frog jig trailer on a jig. I only fished them very early in my fishing career, I’m 49. There was bound to have been a trick to getting through basically a chunk of leather that was kept in formaldehyde until u put it on a jig. Old timers for the most part say bass held onto pork much longer than plastic and that they were tough enough to fish all day. You just had to keep it wet or it turned into pork rind.
The trick to getting a pork rind off the hook is to turn upside down and push and twist at the same time,, pretty easy after you get the hang of it ,! I’ve still got a lot of pork
I plan on using braid from shore. My biggest questions are .Set hook lighter or leader the braid with fluorocarbon? And can you do that with a swim jig?
set the hook lighter. Search “TylersReelFishing swim jig” or “TylersReelFishing jig” to find more videos
Hi Tyler....what is that button you click on your hat?....is that a bell to let the fish know you are there????😀😀😀
It’s the Anglr Bullseye! Pretty cool deal for pre-fishing/breaking down water but even better for actually fishing. The Anglr app is basically a digital logbook that allows you to drop waypoints and saves all sorts of data about each fish catch that you can come back in later and view or edit. Stuff like wind speed and direction, air temp, barometric pressure, etc. The app is free but they offer add-ons like the Bullseye that just make it a lot easier to use. That’s the little thing on my hat in the video. It’s like 30 bucks but you can bluetooth link it to your phone and that way each time you catch a fish you just hit the Bullseye and it logs all that stuff without having to take your phone out each time. People compare ANGLR to Fishbrain, but it’s much more helpful at making you a better angler than Fishbrain
Tyler what about a swimbait for a swim jig trailer
Only when the fish on feeding on cylindrical style baitfish
Tyler: Do you have any videos on how to add a trailer hook to a long plastic worm?
Great video on jig trailers! Enjoyed the Texas rig vid too. Keep it up!!!
Thanks Alan!
And this is why I fish and learn from myself because I've heard actual profession that are sponsored to say mismatch your color on your jig or your Chaturbate trailer each to their own it's all by feel fish and learn
Nothing wrong with mismatching color. Many multicolored jigs are made of colors and combinations that you won't find in your typical lake or pond, yet they catch fish. And large flair jigs, for example, almost always have what amounts to a differently colored trailer. Your typical game fish is not carefully analyzing lures for realism... If they did, jigs wouldn't work at all!
Excellent content
Thanks for watching!
Hey Tyler what is that thing on your hat? I know you've said it before but I forget. Isn't it like a fish counter or something and if so where did tou get it?
It was the ANGLR bullseye, but that company no longer exists
i just bought the rage menaces before watching this vid thats good😅
Thank you!!!!
This is the 4th time I have watched this video.
My friend hasnt been fishing since he was little. I took him fishing the other day and he called EVERYTHING a jig. He asked me to hook up a worm on a hook for him and this is how he asked "Can you put that jig on that jig? I dont know how."
Haha that’s funny
I know you've made other jig videos, but I am randomly watching this one right now, so I'll ask this question anyway.
Why do companies think that a "skirt" material makes a jig look like whatever bass eat?
Who came up with the idea that putting some stringy material on a waited hook would convince a bass that it looks like food?
If I were to not know anything about fishing in itself, and I saw a skirted without knowing other fisherman use it, I would think, "How is the going to make a bass bite it?"
So..... The only reason I use a jig in my arsenal of baits is because you and others use it and say it works and also because companies wouldn't sell them if they didn't work I suppose.
Are there crawfish in south Florida ponds and lakes? If not, does it make sense still to mimic a crawl considering so many trailers are crawl immigrations.
Craw trailers don’t have to imitate actual craws all the time. Most of the time, they just add action, which fish love a lot of the time. Just like a top water “frog” hardly ever imitates an actual frog, mostly bluegill
@@TylersReelFishing thanks for the clarification
I am new to fishing with jigs and trailers. What color would work best if my bait fish are craw fish and bluegill? Also would a Strike King Bitsy Flip be considered as a finesse jig? Also you make great videos I learn a lot from them.
Watermelon red. Yes, bitsy flip due to its size is finesse flipping. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video
How do you feel about the new KTB RODS BY LEWS? Would love your feed back
They are Mach rods with a different logo and color. Super pumped for him!
What are the size of the jigs that your using?
You are the Bass wizard dude. Question though what size jig do you prefer? 1/2, 5/8, 3/4?
All depends on how deep you’re fishing, and how thick of cover you’re fishing. Deeper- usually heavier
@@TylersReelFishing thanks man for the reply! Again great videos i love shareing them with guys I fish with. A couple of us want you to do a video on crank' s shallow, deep, big, small, square bill, lip less, and so on
Will be doing tons of those soon!
God bless
Sorry to ask you something completely off the the topic of this video. Why do pro's fish a spinning reel lefthanded and a casting combo righthanded? I fish both righthanded. Am i wrong to do it this way?
No, you do it the best way possible, but most pro anglers (myself included in that group even though I'm technically not a pro), learned back when left handed baitcasters didn't exist much, which is why you see the switching. I am making a video about this soon
I used the real pork frogs 40 years ago, real pork skin flappy legs, had to keep them in the jar of juice they came in or they dried out. Remember them stinking pretty bad.
Have never used a swim jig
I noticed that you never mentioned a swim bait as a trailer... would one work? Or is it better to use the plastics you mentioned in this video? Still striking out on jig fishing
Swimbait is really only applicable when bass are eating baitfish, which primarily happens in the fall and late spring. The rest of the year I’m throwing watermelon or green pumpkin based jigs since bass are then targeting bluegill most
@@TylersReelFishing ok. I will change up my trailer and see what happens. Went out this morning and only got one to bite.
The thing you said about rigging the trailer vertical to imitate bluegill and rigging it horizontal to imitate shad makes no sense lol. Shads tails are just like bluegills tails. Not knocking ya tho lol. I love swim jigs
Didn’t mean to imply that. meant to say that vertical rigging imitates a tail of both, horizontal allows more lift and water displacement, which spawning Shad usually do, not bluegill
Hi Tyler, i am just starting to try using jigs but my problem is that i fish from the bank only. my other problem is i dont know what size, such as weight, jig to use. what size, weight do you prefer when fishing from the bank? i really would appreciate your advice. thanks Tyler and take care!
I made a video just for that question👍🏼 th-cam.com/video/kQq8-IHzBbE/w-d-xo.html
@@TylersReelFishing THANKS SO MUCH!!
Do you ever use swimbaits for swim jig or chatter bait trailers or do you not recommend those over a craw type trailer
Not usually. I like to keep my jigs more compact
awesome!
