How to Fish Big Jigs for Prespawn Bass

- They say fashion is cyclical, and the same is true for bass fishing tackle and techniques. Young gun Beau Browning puts this on display by tying on a big jig and giving us a clinic on how to fish skirted jigs for magnum prespawn bass. While moving baits like crankbaits, swimbaits, and bladed jigs get the attention, going old school with a big jig, albeit with some twists, yields impressive results once you land on that wad. Browning dives deep into trailer selection, the different methods to trigger bites with a jig, where to find the motherload, and his preferred rod setup for slinging led and driving hooks.

THE ART OF PRESPAWN JIG FISHING
Browning demonstrates the versatility of jig fishing, showcasing its effectiveness around different types of cover, such as flooded bushes, grass, rocks, and docks. He highlights the importance of understanding the lake's conditions and stresses the need to adapt your jig and trailer color to the primary forage and water clarity.
JIG FISHING TECHNIQUES AND TACKLE CHOICES
Browning prefers a compact yet beefy setup, combining a half-ounce Strike King Structure Jig with a Z-Man Hella CrawZ. Why? With the impending spawn, Browning thinks prespawn bass shift into defense mode against larger forage they perceive as a threat -- think bluegills, crappies, and shad. Sure, they'll eat finesse presentations, but his biggest bites usually come on larger baits. How you work the jig is another story. Browning mixes his retrieve up between dragging, hopping, and stroking. You'll be surprised by how many bass respond to stroking a jig, with many eating on the fall. Proof that you can trigger reaction strikes in cold water.
JIG PRESENTATION FINE-TUNING FOR PRESPAWN BASS
Browning's approach isn't just about selecting the right jig and trailer; it's also about fine-tuning the color and action to match the conditions. He discusses the importance of color selection, favoring natural tones like green pumpkin and hues of whites in clearer waters when bluegill and shad are on the menu and classic darker colors like black and blue in dirty water or low-light conditions. Regardless of how he fishes his jig, he prefers a trailer with some action and bulk, but not too much. The Hella CrawZ is the perfect complement of action and body. For example, if the bass want the jig drug across the bottom, Browning still wants a trailer that has some action.
PRESPAWN BASS LOCATION
Browning focuses on channel swings or deep-water edges that meet shallower spawning flats. As he states, look for the spot where deeper water access points interset the spawning flats. Better yet, add a sweetener like an inside turn, ditch, or lead-in bank. These areas hold bass throughout the spring, either prespawn heading it or post-spawners heading out. Don't constantly obsess about sight fishing bedding bass on the flat unless that's all you can put together.

Imagine having a hook set SO HARD that you Rip Farts... Dude is a Legend!
Dude set the hook and farted so loud! Lol
😂 I thought I was bugging and hearing things lmao
Lmao 😂
Swear ta Gawt, I'll toss a fart in on a hook set if I get a 4.5 pounder every time. Judge knot
Lookin for that bulky fart profile ya know
It happens
7:36 My pre-spawn jig gear rundown: 7' MH rod, 20lbs line, jig and trailer, adult diaper.
Bro squeezed one out on us 🤔😭
Did that dude 💩 his britches??? 😂
Was he throwing an "Arizona Laughing Lizard"😂
Best wired2fish vide I've seen in a minute. Those hooksets my God bro I'm surprised you didn't break there Jaws off. Awesome video I like the look of that Hella crawz too bet it's harder for them to tear appendages being elaztech.
I picked up a swim jig last August by mistake and haven't put it down since! Cast it out, let it fall on slack line, drag it a little and hop it and/or snap it off the bottom. This draws reactions strikes even when they aren't interested. Have been using it all Winter here in NJ and, it hasn't failed me yet. Have a feeling the jig and maybe a drop shot are all I'm going to use this year. 3/8 ounce does it for me with a Moon Juice colored Strike King Rage Menace Twin Tailed Grub. Money!
I want that new fart rod and reel .
7:36 Was that a shart?
Lol definitely a short!!
Definitely one around the beginning, on like the second fish he hooked. 💀
😂
I think it might have been a duck 😂
Big baits=big fish!! Yesterday only couple on a jig. Drop shot was killing it tho
I am VERY GLAD to see that you are not one of those guys who holds the fish out of the water while they go on and on about some thing or other for several minutes. That makes me angy. Thank you for the information you put out here.
Magnum trick worms work great to .
Did that Hookset squoze a fart?
😂 it happens
How do you pick between a jig, a shaky head, a t rig, a drop shot, & a neko? How do you know which one is the best for the situation
Sounds like you need to press rewind on the vcr, and do more fishing.
Shakey head, drop shot, neko when fish are pressured heavily or in a weird mood and bigger presentations like jigs and t rigs when they are active or less pressured
The fish are either on the bottom or suspended. Try searching for suspended bass first with something fast moving. If they aren't chasing, you'll have to try the drop shot for suspended, lethargic bass or go with a jig, a Ned, or Texas rigged worm for those bottom hanging lethargic bass.
It looks like " The Deal" not a Bad Shad.
I love that this comment section is all about farts
I need to know if a catch is with or without FFS from now on
Dude sounds like Boomhauer from King of the Hill.
Fart bubbles coming out of the cray triggering strikes
Put on a clinic
Where can I find that hoodie 🫣
That’s no Cashion rod
Pretty sure he says “casting rod” at 6:39 if that’s what you’re talking about
@@takG6funny I played it back a few times and you’re actually right. It really sounds like he said Cashion though haha
@@citydogpack no worries! It definitely sounded like it. I’ve been interested in buying a Cashion so your comment caught my eye.
Farts will never get old lol.
