Common jig fishing mistakes and their remedies!

[@bernarddigrino8665]

I am an old timer, but I could sit and listen to you for hours. Your experience is amazing.

[@moncorp1]

We live in an amazing age. We can watch videos of a bass pro dispense his knowledge to us whenever and wherever we want.

[@Itz1Adam12]

When Randy says "you guys don't wanna listen to me all day." Quite the opposite! I love listening to 40 years worth of knowledge and intuitive angling. Love all the amazing content Randy!

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

Thx man!

[@barrelbum1016]

Quickly your Chanel has become the background to my life. If I’m doing medial things I tune in to listen and learn from an honest seasoned veteran. Thank you for all that you do for the sport and the community!

[@timscruggs7611]

I find your videos very interesting in all subjects. Been fishing over 50 yrs and your knowledge is very true. My favorite jig was a Stanley 5/16oz in black/brown/orange although I changed with conditions. You need confidence in what you throw!

[@bucknuts8824]

Randy, at the 1:00 mark you talked about how some lakes and times of the year aren't set up for jig fishing. Can you please explain what you mean by that, and what are ideal conditions to jig fish?

[@kylesnowdon8498]

Great video Randy! I thoroughly enjoyed you how you explained and presented your experience with jig fishing. Going to experiment more with jig colors as I’m guilty for falling into the black and blue and green pumpkin only category. Looking forward to you expanding more on jigs in particular, and other bait specific videos!

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

Kyle Snowdon thx man!

[@fryeguy9939]

Great stuff as usual... What is interesting to me is all the little things.. The little adjustments and Doctoring up of lures ... Had a big smile on my face.. watching or son or grandson in the background... He sure can cover a lot of ground.... I am glad you have it fenced in..🙂🙂

[@brianh9031]

Love the jig bite! I know you have covered wintertime jerkbait fishing but would like you to do another in depth an techniques for that. Thanks an really appreciate the videos!

[@michaelwade1632]

Enjoy all your videos, I look at alot while home on my TV and don't hit like don't have tv setup for that, but watch all of your stuff

[@chrisboyd1408]

A video on bank fishing tips would be great

[@Davestone803]

Thank you, great information. I was not bothered by the LM at all. Good neighbor. I fish in NE PA on one lake and know it well. I am excited to use a jig rig over the grass line next time I am out

[@martinallison8719]

Good stuff Randy, thanks!! Keep 'em coming!

[@jameserickson1330]

Thanks for taking the time to make these Randy

[@randallbeauchamp8245]

Excellent information, Love to hear more on how you work the jigs.

[@cheetoz6902]

And 1 of my favorites in clear water is chartreuse pepper and a brown zoom chunk (pumpkinseed)

[@danham3344]

Great video with great content! I’m a huge fan of the chartreuse dipping dye and always have it in the boat. It has saved the day more than once. I haven’t tried other color dyes though but I’m definitely going to now. Thanks again.

[@davidball3461]

I have always had confidence and caught lots of spots in culprit fire and Ice ribbon tailed 7.5 inch worms on mainly Coosa River Spotted bass in the pre and post spawn . I pour my jigs and hand tie My skirts. I decided, based on this video to tie up a skirt on a few finesse jigs. 3/4 tab of bright red living rubber and 3/4 blue sapphire rubber with shiny thin tinsel. It is a situational color in my Opinion. It worked great in stained water. In fact I have started using the same skirt on football head jigs and spinner baits. I’ve even caught some LM’s on the jig. It’s not natural but spots kill it! I am going up to pickwick in March or April and I am going to try it out on smallmouth!

[@patty8039]

I stick with natural colors on all my jigs but my top producer is flat brown with a green pumpkin trailer and some spike-it. Enjoy the videos!!

[@markspears1167]

Great video! The information was interesting. In the mid 80’s I found that a solid blue jig and blue pork, black jig with blue pork got bit well in east Texas.

[@bigc8018]

One of the better jig videos I've seen.

[@dannyyork3742]

Randy is that your son or grand son? Love your vids, he makes them better!!!!! Best ones are when he's riding in car with you. Just go back and watch vids he's in his car seat, of course it's before he falls asleep lol

[@marilynpetrowski7039]

Randy I still use and catch big bass on the original rattle back jig, never liked the triple. Been fishing them since early 80s and I’ll be 70 this year. Also love Carolina rigging, trying to learn electronic on my new boat, boy is it tough for old school guys

[@DEADKING624]

Nothing quite like a jig bite...THUMP! Great tips...!

[@yakangler419]

Really like just the “talking head” video format. No BS. Watched versatility video with you and Jonny and keep coming back to jigs as area to focus on- specifically swim jig. It would be cool to see you do one jig specific videos. Great job👍

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

YakAngler 4:19 thx man!

[@TheBaller216]

I loved these alt jig color choices, also love a pb&j color as well as an amber orange and brown jig. And all my bites come on those 1/4oz jigs👍 you have years of experience backing up these subtle things I am starting to put together. Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@randybarger8649]

Good morning Randy.its Randy here lol thanks for everything love the info keep on fishing on catching pigs and crashing checks great job

[@jermainemckinnie791]

I caught my PB at the time (5.8lbs) on a blue/black jig with chartreuse/black flack dbl tail grub. That color combo was producing that day. Clear water of course.

[@cheetoz6902]

Randy I'm old school like you and getting into that brain of yours is truly entertaining for me . I wish I was closer to do a on water jig lesson with you,if your ever in Georgia for a period M I'd pay you to go with me on my boat ,skeeter as well you could captain

[@michaelloucks4448]

Hey Randy thanks for the great jig tips no one would give this excellent information thanks fisherman Mike

[@chasegipson3036]

I’ve learned more from you in two videos than all my fishing this summer. What type of action do you use with your jig? Slow and twitchy? What do you use in 20ft deep situation targeting a brush pile? Muddy water, I’m on lake Conroe in Texas. Any advise for us down south

[@rexjohnson8881]

Lake Conroe? I live in Huntsville and fish Conroe all of the time

[@jbsfishingstuffnmore7387]

Jig fishing is my favorite technique and has been for over 30 years . Of course 30 years ago there just wasn't much talk between jig fisherman about various trailers or colors and it was limited at best . Now days you can load down a warehouse with variety of colors and styles of trailers but still my favorite way to fish .

[@terrytresemer2864]

I think your neighbor ran over a few chainsaws that where laying around. Ever consider a book series for these cold winter days. I think you have a shelf or two for the future anglers. Just a thought. 🤔

[@bottomlinebassin2001]

I've been switching to a finesse jig before I go to the senko for that quality bite. The zman crosseye jig is good one with a z craw jr gets bit. Thanks Randy for the awesome tips 🐟👊

[@kedman1217]

Thoughts regarding seasonal jerk bait fishing and how water clarity impacts your color selection. Thanks and throughly enjoy your videos. Keep them coming!

[@jasonhinson3812]

Thanks for this video. I’ve always said I catch more fish using the trailers without the jig. I seem to catch more fish on a craw worm then with a jig with craw worm trailer. Not sure why

[@chrisboyd1408]

Excellent tips. Keep them coming.

[@shadygraves]

I learned most of what know about jig fishing came from Denny Brauer, Ron Sheffield, and Randy. I think Randy had a BASS win on pork; maybe it was Ron. I'm telling my age. That was over 30 years ago!

[@jameserickson1330]

I hope people take your braided line comments to heart. Braid has minimal sensitivity on a slack line compared to fluroro, and in my experience, I get a lot more and better quality bites letting my jig fall on totally slack line.

[@donaldmartin4980]

There used to be (30-40 years ago) a color that changed from brown to purple depending on the light. I used that color in California on my jigs a lot. I lost track of the number of really good bass and even striped bass that absolutely clobbered that color…… I can’t find it anymore.

[@tablerockkid8237]

You're making me get out of my comfort zone. 😊 Maybe time to ditch the braid, lighten up on jig weights, and bring a little color into things. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@craigstevens9734]

I was getting locked in but that's because I didn't seem to get bit but gonna take it to next level. Keep making videos please .Good luck in the future.

[@mikegardiner3934]

Great jig overview, Randy!

[@bradtaylor8405]

Randy, I just subscribed. Your info is so good. Man I wish I would have come across you sooner. God Bless

[@bucknuts8824]

Hi Randy, when will you flip a jig vs. When will you flip a texas rigged worm, or creature bait. And what determines that. Thanks Randy!

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

J Adams that’s a tough question. Normally I’ll have both rigged and rotate them until I get a feel for the quality and number of bites

[@ronnieidol1711]

Randy I assume you night fished before tournaments do you miss the night bite ?

[@SpookyRedz]

I’m still using Berkeley big game 15-20 clear mono , on my bigger jigs

[@jeffturner1573]

If braid is more sensitive, won't it get u more fish? If u detect more bites?

[@The_Bass_Stunters]

Absolutely love a Junbug colored jig and trailer also Magic Craw is another killer.

[@markmpolizzi3605]

Wow! Great info keep them coming. Thank You!

[@rogerhall5532]

Mam ty so much for your info it has helped my family catch so many more fish and share some amazing times together ty for real

[@imtiyaazhathurani7510]

Dead right on the Zoom Z Craw as a trailer. I landed my PB of 5.2kg on a black/blue rattling football jig and paired the junebug Z Craw as a trailer. Definitely going to experiment with different colour and size variations

[@drewskyfasho]

Another awesome video, thank you! Would love to know your opinion on Charlie Brewer’s finesse technique of slider jigs. Seems to be a forgotten approach that may help when today’s waters are more pressured than ever

[@gregshank7699]

Very well said! Thanks for the info......

[@steelerfaninerie]

I miss using pork on my jigs. Is there any manufacturer that sells pork trailers anymore?

[@johngalt3568]

Nobody makes them anymore. Some of us have a stash from 15-20 years ago. They eventually go bad once you open them. I dread the day all of mine are gone. I think they are best in late fall through early spring. In winter, I won’t throw a jig without pork.

[@johnk2249]

Uncle Josh is making them again.

[@big_valley5487]

Great video! Can you do an in depth video about swim jigs? 🤔

[@MrsQueenBee5]

Good info. Thanks Randy.

[@juanarellano4377]

I would like to hear some details on swim jig fishing!!

[@caseydonathan8768]

I fish straight braid here on St. John's, would you ever consider tying on a heavier leader line for stealth purposes?

[@ata1421]

Informative, subscribed and will watch more. Thanks

[@kevinhutchinson1322]

Good information. Keep up the content.

[@youraverageangler5156]

Great insight, thank you Randy!

[@steve4321able]

I cant seem to maintain contact with a 1/4 oz jig. Plus a lot of companies dont sell them anymore, only 3/8.

[@timjustus7831]

Glad I found your channel man, one of the best channels going on KZbin. I watched your top 5 video on KZbin channels you watch and was surprised tactical bassin didn’t make your top 5, if you haven’t checked it out it’s a good channel to learn on like yours. Thanks a lot for all the great tips.

[@midwestfisherman]

Great info! Thank you!

[@nathansmith5331]

Great knowledge

[@mikeharris130]

Learned something today, thanks.

[@jessehandlin7589]

I still fish a pork frog it has always worked for me there is something bass like about pork

[@coreywhite6981]

My wife says all I want to do is listen to you forever and ever ...

[@david.weston7911]

Thanks Randy for the tips from Ohio

[@natehoodoo6246]

To may be help with the background noise, look into a mic for your camera. Nice jig info!

[@clubpresident9147]

Disagree on braid as I only use spinning tackle and fluoro has memory that causes problems on spinning reels. I use a fluoro leader on all rods.

[@randyabbott4018]

can you show us some of the jigs your talking about

[@jonahlawrence6204]

Good stuff thank you you're a great angler

[@mikeroberts9792]

Randy, how do you feel about tungsten vs lead on jigs. Tungsten is not plentiful, but I'm looking for some good ones because I want the smaller profile head.

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

Mike Roberts I’ve never used a tungsten jig but I would imagine it’s excellent because it’s a smaller head profile which gives you better hook ups

[@pschultzyt]

Hey randy how about Doing a video on swimming worm?

[@eddiehawk8861]

Randy do you use any scents on jigs and plastics?

[@Pat19997]

why I don't switch off a preferred lure, worm, jig, there are only so many hours in a day. Even if I go out with 5 rods, How many different jigs can I try in one area before I realize the jigs aren't working today. Do I then go over the area and try 6 different worms? Like I said there are only so many hours in a day. LOL

[@johncoyote6755]

Why does zoom get more bites?

[@williamlaws2353]

Randy Do you hook the zoom chunk like pork or worm it on?? Also Rattleback or triple Rattleback

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

William Laws yes I do with the big salty chunk

[@Fisherman_83]

Love a video on how you cut your skirts on your jigs

[@SpookyRedz]

Great video

[@greenminnowbassfishingtips6883]

Thanks for the info!

[@ronnieidol1711]

From southeast ky fox squirrel hair off the tail with a brown trailer catch big small mouth at night

[@jeffporter100]

Great info!

[@jakevillaret]

Stupid question. I bought a couple jigs that ended up having rattles on them. How do you put a trailer on? It’s like right in the way

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

jacob villaret you can thread them on by cutting some of the bulk of the plastic down with scissors

[@jakevillaret]

Intuitive Angling With Randy Blaukat I’ll give that a shot. Thanks!

[@nhum0535]

Awesome video, thanks

[@christophersawczyk]

Thanks Randy! How about some visual aids for us slow learners. lol Thanks in advance

[@josephhillman8831]

I have heard alot of fisherman talk about a bitsy jig is a cheap unproductive jig I have caught so many huge bass on one super chunk Jr trailer is a killer in winter early spring thrown on spinning tackle 30 lb braid

[@Moosedigger]

What do you mean by a chunk? I generally use a small rage tail

[@jarrett7977]

a chunk is a trailer made by multiple companies, look up zoom chunk or berkley chunk

[@RedneckViking]

Solid information thank you sir

[@rahimi420fr]

What about grass fishing with heavy jig with braided line ??

[@fishingva9946]

Go look up "Seth top 5 grass setups" braid to floro for grass. Obviously straight braid for punching t rigs

[@calebwarrington597]

Great info! 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

[@williamisaac8228]

Randy please do one on jerkbait colors in situations before this fall

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

William Isaac will do!

[@vipsymbol]

a damn master class

[@xlrationmarine]

Braid 🤔. That dude on Testicular Bassin did a video on “ why you should use braid for everything,” personally I think he’s blowing smoke.

[@robertbrost7777]

It's hard to not use braided line with a jig or anything for that matter when using spinning gear. For some, that's all we have. The best we can do is braid with a fluoro leader. Fluorocarbon and soinning gear just don't get along! LOL

[@williamlaws2353]

Would you fish good pork if you could get it

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

William Laws no doubt!

[@raywatson8863]

Yes definitely with a slight modification to it

[@dogboyy2k12]

thx

[@19ADAM80]

👍🏼

[@dannyyork3742]

You live in missouri, never mention ky. Is there a reason with ky. Lake and lake barkley????? Guess I'll have to wait till u do kentucky on your favorite, les favorites lakes. Just wondered why you never mention ky. Lake

[@Jefestephens]

I can’t catch a bass on a jig to save my life🥹
