Thanks for teaching us instead of just a video of you reeling fish in like most of the other videos on you tube👍

[@bestof4227]

Alot of other channel videos will have titles like these, but really don't get offer anything of real value besides entertainment. This video helped me out, thanks.

[@leonoraboone2405]

Out of all the videos i have watched on explaining how to use jig heads yours is the best by far. You break it down to where its simple & easy to understand i havent finished watching the video and already i feel confident enough to go out and try fishing with jig heads. Thank you for uploading such great content bro.

Thanks. I started saltwater fishing about 3 years ago and I’ve learned a lot off your videos. I’ve watched many others, but yours are on point and uncluttered.

Great video, just getting into fishing and you answered a lot of questions I had about jigs and lures. Thank you so much for creating this great tutorial video.

[@bobsmoot2392]

Best jigging tutorial online. Excellent tips. Well explained, and without attitude. Subscribed.

[@2reelyakrz481]

Great instructional video! Soft plastics in saltwater has always been a weakness for me. Next time we are in FL we'll try them again.

[@cheesescrust5399]

If youre in an area where theyre bedded up or actively feeding soft plastics are good but Fishbites or dead bait works best to attract them in if they aren’t right in your location already. The gulp is best of both worlds because its got scent in it vs regular mirrorlure or matrix shad. Fishbites with 3/0 circle hook under a popper cork with flouro leader has been my best for shallow inshore

[@rickpickard4362]

Nice job creating this video, I just started salt water fishing about a month ago. Your videos are very informative, going to try this out tomorrow..

[@horaciomaldonado7205]

Best explanation I ever watched before Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍

[@tomrechsteiner4715]

well i took your advise bud, went to Walmart, bought the jig with white colors as seen at 6:41, and went fishing with friend's boat at Cedar Key in Fl. Man I tell you I caught a lot of ocean trouts with the red and white color jigs. Awesome video and awesome fishing trip.

[@angelaeaton9034]

Awesome video. I appreciate the way you take your time and really teach and show how the technique is done.

[@dariushjokar]

It was an informative clip, I was looking for such a clip to learn and you taught me, thank you. Sincerely. Dariush from Iran 🇮🇷

[@Bamawagoner]

Wow. An actual explanation of techniques instead of a glorified 10 minute add. Great work

[@jasonmoore6419]

You guys are awesome.. you really go in depth with the how to. Thank you so much for what y'all do.

[@brandons2079]

That’s the best explanation of how your lure moves when you jig it that I’ve ever seen. Great video guys!

[@1fish2fish10]

Thank you!!

Great video, the best so far as to how to work a jig head. I really appreciate the fishing content keep up the good work. Thanks 👍🏽

[@aaronmccabe5787]

By far the best content I’ve seen. I’ve learned so much watching your videos. I went from being lost when it comes to ocean fishing to being more confident. Keep up the great work

[@Fishseaofcortez]

I just started fishing Z-man plastics, and I use gorilla glue to keep the plastic right on the jighead. It worked well, I caught quite a few bass and the rig held up. Others use small zip-ties to keep the plastic on the head, and I did too for a while. The other option is that Z-man does make jigheads for their plastics.

[@toolsnthings5539]

Excellent video you have provided some good details that everyone can learn from thank you

[@askip7]

All your videos are excellent…thanks very much for your work!! When you’re putting your plastic onto the jig head, turn it 90 degrees right before you go over the barb then turn it back to the proper position once you reach the base of the head. That gives the barb more solid material to hook into. Thanks again!!

[@davidcantu1594]

I'm from STX and I've seen guys pop it high to let the Down South Lure swim down, and bam!!! But with Zman that lure has a lot.of buoyancy so keep it tight. In the marsh reds like that pumpkin H&H grub worm with chartreuse tail at a steady pace. Jig head definitely depends on depth and current. Thanks brother,,, keep up the good work!!!

[@1fish2fish10]

Totally agree!

[@albertoreyes9509]

Thank for your nice explanations on how to use that jigs on shallow water and deep water fishing.

Very good explicit video with helpful information. Many thanks

[@Gio-nl7eg]

This is one of the most helpful videos I’ve seen so far, thank you. If I could suggest a next video it would be how to choose a line to leader combo for various types of fishing as well as leader length

[@ADDfishing]

Hi visit US oke

[@meighkee]

@@ADDfishing Not sure I understood the response. I too would be interested in how to rig up the line/leader combo, and how to easily and quickly change from one lure to another.

[@chrismariscal4638]

Love this pro tip.... Can you do a top water video on how to tie and work hard plastics

[@coreyryan2871]

Excellent video. So in depth!

[@WpnsCo2013OEF]

For Zman swimbaits and their level of elasticity, I think TWISTING the top onto the holder helps more than just forcefully pushing. I'll twist the top 180° often times and it doesn't tear it up as bad (since it has that crazy elasticity) as you would think or like If you try that with a regular plastic bait.

[@Marrio49]

And excellent and very informative presentation of jig fishing.

[@catfishjohn2329]

Great video. I always just swim them because I didnt know other techniques. looking forward to trying the jig retrieve. thank you.

[@cayrett]

For the Z-man plastics especially, and just any plastic, I like to use super glue. Put a little bit where the head meets the hook and hold your plastic to it for a couple of seconds so it can dry. It work really well at holding it.

[@Morrrrrrrk]

Some things that would’ve really helped for me were what line is good for jigging. Talk more about using or not using a leader. And what pound test on the leader?

[@Vascular10]

You actually demonstrate more accurately how to reel in the jighead where most of the others I have watched do not. I will look at more of your videos. You also use numbers, what size jig to use, the weight and relative size of the jig, the type of soft rubber lure to use and for which fish. Thank you. Thank you.

[@thebert010]

Best tip I've ever seen for putting on Zman lures is to hold the hook, and pull the lure basically all the way over the head of the jig, then slide it back into place, which locks the elaztech material onto the seat (the hook holding the lure in place). Since I've been doing it this way, I haven't even had to readjust a lure after strikes - its been a game changer for me

[@1fish2fish10]

This is great!! Thanks for sharing!

[@ronaldpatrick4151]

Nice video. One tip for Z man soft body baits, I use a drop of super glue on the end of the bait which holds the bait to the jig head if you are throwing in heavier current. It doesn’t affect the taste apparently as I catch a fair amount of fish. Plus this holds the body flush against the jig head which maintains the straight line. Hope it helps

[@jimbo4612]

If your a lead head angler enthusiast its almost a must to have some basic plain jigs and have some Pro TEC powder paint with you. Pro Tec sells a powder paint product that's super simple to use and you can apply the paint heating the lead head with a bic lighter and dunking it in the jar. A bottle of Pro Tec makes up well over 300 small jigs and runs less than 8 bucks a jar. Anglers typically don't know how cheap lead heads are to make and pay outrageous amounts for products.

[@Rickyschaefer23]

When you’re rigging the soft plastic try turning it a quarter turn when putting it over the bump on the jig head then twist back straight after… It will keep the soft plastic from separating from the jig head as much

When putting on the rubber baits, put the hook through then turn it 1/4 turn, then push the bait on then turn it back and that locks in those retainers.

There is a way you can pierce those hooks in like a texas rig. I recommend trying it over your current straight in and out strategy.

[@vibsosu]

Wow just seeing this out of the box kzbin.infoUgkxQr1yd4Zc6qJF-scTB6Zb9dQbVpviuRxB recommend I have yet to fish with this set up, but based on the first hands on appeal, I can tell this is going to change the way i pack and carry to a whole new level. If you fish like i do, you know the smaller and less stuff the better. I’ve added a photo of just some of my gear so you can see how serious i am about fishing.

On the man plastic if you push it up to the keeper then pinch the top of the head and pull it over the keeper instead of pushing it they hold really well!
