[@euclidesruperto8400]

Just watch this video, really helpful. What weight should i use when fishing with a jig? I fish from bank only

[@BassGeek]

Great question. For the bank angler you should toss a much lighter jig. I like a 1/2oz from a boat but from the bank I start with a 1/4oz or even a 1/8oz. You're fishing the exact opposite direction for the bank than from a boat. As a rule with any bait you go lighter as you get shallower. Since a lot of the time, from the bank, you're casting to deeper water and working it back up to shallower water that lighter bait will fall slower getting more bites and get snagged up much less. Oh gentle hops when bringing it back. If you drag it do it over a VERY short distance then hop it up you will get hung up much less with that retrieve.

[@euclidesruperto8400]

Perfect thanks for the advice.

[@chevywes2004]

What’s the difference from a boat than the bank with the size lighter weigh makes it easier to bring back through the grass and stuff fishing from the bank

[@notmyname9625]

BassGeek ur the man for this im gonna subscribe to you i dont know any other youtubers that would give that in depth of an answer on a question in the comments. Most of them dont even look at questions in the comments.

[@BrettMichaels779]

BassGeek great video. What weight would you suggest for a kayak?

[@babersolanki7989]

Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit kzbin.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.

[@BassGeek]

Awesome and I'm sorry.

[@muskbeard3924]

“If it moves it’s a fish, if it doesn’t it’s a limb” my favorite quote of the video 😂😂

[@BassGeek]

Mega Bass Hahaha Sometimes when ya learning you just have to take chance. You may miss a fish but learning feel is most important first. Unless you have an endless supply of jigs. Hahaha Hey thanks for watching.

[@christianb8228]

BassGeek it’s those small differences that make the difference between an angler and just a guy with a rod

[@tearemupfishing8780]

I thought the same thing!

"More like bass , less like treble " .. Nice job explaining in layman's terms . Bringing the jigs in close was done well too . Retired and kayak fish quite often now and look forward to more of your posts..

Thank you so much for watching and supporting me.

[@mikeybalzz]

I still go back to this video in spring for a re up on the basics!

[@BassGeek]

Like you need a refresher. You are the dang man.

[@nateroo]

actually what i really meant was that finally, someone shows the movement of the rod to make the jig move the way you want it. everyone else shows the lure moving in the water but never shows what they're doing with the rod/reel to make it move that way. not just jigs, any lure movement. thanx for showing how you move the jig.

[@BassGeek]

Cool I'm happy I could help. I plan of doing several other video's like this.

[@isayedit1806]

Keep'em like this dude, and keep'em coming, subbed

[@t.g.7700]

I have viewed countless hours of “how to fish a jig” videos and yours is by far the best. Even the part on how to hold your baitcaster is never in the other videos. You have my subscription!

[@BassGeek]

Awesome thank you.

[@joeyTR21X]

Great video. I will say a couple of weeks ago I did have one ol bucket mouth fool me. I was using a jig beating docks and I came up on a old broke up boat ramp. I guessed to where the end of the ramp was a threw the jig. When the jig hit the bottom I had several real fast taps and I figured a small fish. I set the hook and this 5+ comes up a surprises me. Never been fooled like that. Was a 1st. But fun. Awesome videos.

[@BassGeek]

hahaha that is unusual. Thanks for watching.

[@markthibault6551]

[@dustinwilliams9046]

I watch a few of the big utubers and they keep the small secrets apparently. I learned several new tricks like keeping your finger on your line. I see them holding the reel and no explanation. I also didn't know wood and braid make a nasty noise. Subbed

[@BassGeek]

Thanks sir. I am on here to share. Some people don't like that I share as much as I do. However I'm here to share everything I can. Everything I learn I want to help people catch fish and save them the time it took me to learn this stuff.

[@kernlkajun1]

I use braid on all of my rods. That said, I saw a video a while back where the angler used a 7ft fluorocarbon leader to enhance the presentation in clearer water. Wouldn’t that somewhat diminish the sound of braid on wood?

[@85irocz28]

@@kernlkajun1 I don't get why people complicate fishing. Just get some 12 lb line that's all u need for bass and throw it in. No need in all that bs and headaches

Hopefully next time I can at least look like I know what I'm doing.

[@conaway58]

Exactly what I've been looking for. The videos with "you can do this, or you can do that" are useful, but to a beginner, it's nice to have a smart guy say, "Just do this".

[@BassGeek]

Rob Conaway Well You May be giving me to much credit as a smart guy. Lol but yeah I agree. Just start here and expand from that. I would have loved to had someone do that for me.

Very nicely formatted video man! I have seen even some of the best fishing youtubers start a jig video with "i'm going to explain everything you need to know about a jig" and quickly get all mixed up and turned around, leaving me still very confused. You explained it step by step without getting ahead of yourself which made it sooo easy to follow! Thanks!

I continually have the feeling that I am not doing something right. I learned so much from this video that I feel like I now have a better understanding of how to work a jig the right way.

[@BassGeek]

Thank you very much.

[@Justin.Hawkins]

I was recommended this video by a Facebook group. I usually fish Texas rig, just don't have confidence in a jig myself. Very informative. Most of the Texas rig fishing I do (I plan on throwing jigs) is going to be throw at dock pilings, and laydowns. Most of my water is very clean, with softer bottoms and grass. I'm taking it the archy style is probably the best bet? New sub, look forward to watching some of your other videos, you have a great way of explaining

[@BassGeek]

Oh yeah the Arki or flipping style (people call it different things) is the best. you put a Beaver style bait on it and man you can skip it a mile easy. Now if you have a ton of grass. So say you are fishing grass flats whatever a swimjig is also a great tool.

[@Justin.Hawkins]

@@BassGeek yeah I'm going out tomorrow. I have been bass fishing for 20 years and have caught hundreds on Texas rigs and finesse jigs, it's just something about bigger jigs, I've literally never caught one bass on anything other than a finesse jig. Going to try your techniques tomorrow, I'm intentionally leaving my Texas rig stuff at home to force myself to use jigs for my bottom contact baits.

[@mitchellwalton7137]

[@bassinbillRC5300]

I have used a jig and pig combo before however, I have learned how to use them properly and to use the jig to feel the bottom. Using your advice I will more than likely become a better jig fisherman. I have seen the results of successful jig fishing at a South Georgia lake called "Ray's Mill Pond" in Lanier county. They have a lot of "snot bonnets" and it is a pretty shallow lake. The boat owner caught 8 bass over five pounds in as little as 3 hours. He told me the jig and pig is likened to an Ice Cream Sunday for a bass. Lots of fuel for the tank for fishing in the Month of March during the pre-spawn. Thanks!!!!

This was extremely helpful! Best to the point jig video on KZbin. Just caught two at the lake and had to let you know that it helped a lot.
