I am 58 and have yet to catch my 1st bass on any type of jig. Caught my 1st on a hollow body frog this summer tho. Need that jig bass before yr is up 😉We have to look at what we are actually fishing and for me, I get bored worm fishing lol. I power fish alot. So a different mindset is needed.

yourvids are the best....what you doin these days? still fishin?still videoin? thanks!

Just wanted to let you know that I couldn't My bass on that jig from watching your KZbin channel.Thank you for the tips it.Help me a lot , keep up the good work

Bitsy bugs should be in EVERY smallmouth bass fisherman's arsenal. Try fishing one with a TUBE as the trailer in the river for smallmouth! THIS ABSOLUTELY MURDERS. I like to use a black and blue, or green pumpkin jig paired with a smoke/purple fleck bitsy tube, bps tender tube, or dry creek outfitters 3 ½" creek tube. My theory is it looks like a molting crayfish, which smallies absolutely CANNOT resist.

I use pumpkin color braided 50 lb line, Will that scare fish away, The water is super clear in Michigan You can easily see 7 to 10 ft under the water.

Why don’t they make these anymore ?

Tie on an arkie, fish it for 100’s of hours and nothing else. Just keep throwing it. When you’re tired of getting skunked, fish it a little longer. It is my absolute go to now.

Tyler good tips. I would add a trailer hook to my Buzz Bait 90% time. You will miss a lot less of those short biters and not have to reach for that backup lure as often in my own personal experience. I do the same thing with my spinnerbait fishing running a trailer hook most of the time, unless I am getting hung up too much.

This man speak real, 100% truths, I am 100% support him. All the point he mentioned, is the key.

Choppo been killing spotted bass for me in river

I won't fisha buzzbait or spinnerbait without trailer hook !

I do that note having a backup bait. I have an a worm a lizard or a shad shape if they miss my moving bait I come right back at them and just let it set still or move very little and wham they got what they killed. And a tube always works in that too.

Second jig video saying if you want to learn, don’t bring other options, just bring the jig. Funny cause I started doing that yesterday prior to hearing that tip from anyone. Glad to know I’m on the right track because I’m not stopping until I learn that bait once and for all Thanks for always posting such straight forward videos. I get a lot out of them for sure!

Easy for any beginner looking to get a casting rod setup get a 7ft medium heavy fast action with a baitcasting reel that is the 7.1.1 or any in the 7 gear ratio spooled with 12-15lb mono, and a spinning rod that's a 7ft medium fast with a 3000 for 10lb mono to start and when you have gotten how to use both setups for about 6 months roughly and then you can start trying to use braided line. Braid for spinning setup switch to 10-15lb braid and a leader of mono or fluoro, baitcasting/casting setup then switch to 30lb braid then to use a leader from 12-20lb depending on technique and length of the rod that is what I found to be best. Brand does not matter to start.

I am looking for Bruin Outdoors Paul Elias Legend Series Right Hand Baitcast Fishing Reel 7.3 or 8.1:1 used or new.

Awesome video, your explanation is great

nice video .. but i need to ask about light jig head to cast further for shore fishing at windy day if possible add more weight to the jighead ? and how we do that (i'm new with soft bait)

Too much talking!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for this, Tyler. I would like to hear your tips on getting buzzbaits to track in a specific direction and tips on trailer hooks, either single or treble.

Hello, thanks for the wonderful video and excellent explanation. I have a question, I own the type of action, the type of action, the Modrite Fast, does this type of action work on the jerrying, bytes, or is it not suitable for this lure?

Yes I like green eggs and ham

Man Tyler look at the smile on your face when you talk about fishing. Good for you bro that's awesome I can tell how happy you are teaching us. Good job bro as always. Tyler I've said this before your definitely very talented angler. God bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike from Missouri. Ps you can't go wrong with green pumpkin blue, black n blue, Tyler I use a lot of brown n black amber , black n chartreuse because I live in Missouri.

Hay man I really like your shows I am a old dog back in the flasher day I am 78 who says you can’t teach a old dog new tricks well you can this one I will a sure you this old dog will starting this spring god bless Milton

Jigs are really good im the opposite i have zero confidence in a texas rig with a worm

This was the most clear explanation I’ve heard. As an angler with ADHD it’s overwhelming trying to “figure” it out. Thanks brother! Keep up the great vids.

Old school poppers rock the water. I love them.

This is the exact video I needed. I literally know people who destroy with the jig and I just can't get bit on it. Everything about what I do with it on the retrieve seems like it should get bit but it just doesn't. Thanks!

Tyler, do you use skirts with your buzzbaits or not at all?

I don’t have the confidence in a jig but going out tomorrow and gonna try and catch a fish on one! Nice video

Love your videos. THanks

great video and suggestions! thanks for that

When I was taught to fish it was 70% finesse. So when I tried a jig it was a bit weird to me. I started with a half ounce flat top jig from buckeye flipping brush pre spawn. I eventually figured out the flat top was a horrible option for brush but man did it work. I lost so many jigs but I caught so so many huge bass that spring. Needless to say I was addicted. It made it more difficult for me to use finesse jigs. I still catch myself wanting to use full skirts, bigger trailers even though I know I need to be throwing a finesse jig.

Y’all get so much of my business because of Tyler and also your prices are great. Keep it up

The best advice on jig fishing- buy a dozen bitsy jigs in all colors. Fish them slow, fast or in between. The fish catchingest jig I’ve ever used, bar none. Go get em, go throw em, start catching em.

Got a 105 Choppo in bone the other day and already caught a big smallie on it. I just ordered a sexy dawg jr in bone when I got back from the river! lol

I agree buddy 100%.

Choppy and Wopper plopper out fish every top water lure ever, rain or shine any conditions my plopper snashes every time I will never use anything else

Ricos are the best popper

Great info! I fish most of those baits and I LOVE TOP WATER FISHING!!! I learned to topwater fish for bass in the early 1960s. Primarily the devilhorse! It's perfect shape and size, and cadence produces water sounds bass can't refuse.But I'd use a carrot if I didn't have the real thing! I fish for bluegills on top water too: flyrod and poppers!!! I could write a book on fishing the devilhorse. There's fishing and then There's TOPWATER FISHING!!!

Wake baits, hula poppers, prop baits, jitterbug, floating worms, weedless spoons, rubber frogs... seems like there are more top water lures to try. Does anyone else think a choppo is just the newest version of a prop bait?

I’ve never had much success with buzz bait but I think I’ll give it another shot now. You haven’t let me down yet. Thanks Tyler

Great job thanks for sharing your experience

Im in Columbus ohio

Bought a popper a few days ago... This video has inspired me to go out there and just use it a ton ..thank you !

Bloop bloop bloop🔥🤘🤘

Great tips , thanks 🎣🎣

Great video, as always. The Choppo seems to break all the rules of bass fishing. Seems to catch bass on every outing when other lures don't work. Have you used the new Hellrazor? I caught a few bass two weeks ago on it. A demo video on the popper techniques would be nice

My medium heavy rod is highly adaptable. If the lure is too big or heavy it becomes a slow action and if the lure is tiny and light It becomes a monster. It can also expand and retract!!!

Sounds like I might have to start gettin jiggy with it. 🤣

literally fished a jig dozens of times and never got a bite ever gave up on it caught 1000s and 1000s of bass gave up on the jig...
