Swim Jigs Made SIMPLE (AWESOME Jig for Bass Fishing Beginners) Pt. 1 of 2

[@RadYOacTVe]

Haven't had much luck with a white and silver jig until I watched this. Used your advice and decided to pick up a bluegill colored jig, tied it on and used a skinny dipper swimbait as a trailer. Fished about 5 ponds with my son and caught about 10 fish all between 2-4 pounds yesterday.

[@richardblake4777]

Debo's channel will continue to grow because he's selling himself, and he's honest and gives you the straight scoop. Thanks Debo.

Thank you Debo. I’ve been watching you for about 2 months now and I’ve retained more info from you than any other you tube anglers. I appreciate what you do for us out here and keep on fishing man. Thank you.

Man, I appreciate that breakdown. I avoid jigs like the plague for bass because of the constant hang ups. Understanding the degree the line tie comes off the head and a similar degree sloping jig head makes all the sense in the world. Fear gone, jig fishing hope reborn. Thx Debo!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks for watching man. The BIGGEST things to help combat snags with jigs are 1. Spread thr weed guard out to the sides. The jig generally gets snagged in wood when the jig rolls on its side. Spreading the weed guard out HELPS! 2. Move the jig slow through cover. If you pop it fast you can drive that hook and get caught. Hope this helps man.

[@rblacker7]

Thanks for doing this vid. I love jig fishing and my black and blue swim jig with a zman z minnow trailer have been putting in work this fall. Even with the wind I have been catching 3-4 pounders. I reel the jig slow then let the jig fall then back up swimming again. They usually bite on the fall or when it comes back up. Jigs don't get the love they should from most anglers so, I'm glad you put this out there.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice man! Heck yeah, jigs are versatile and can be effective pretty much all year round! Thanks for watching 👊

[@buzzworth2396]

This is really funny...... today I got done with work too early so I went to Sports Academy next door and bought a new rod, fluoracarbon & 2 Strike King swimming jigs. One was the Tournament Grade Hack Attack Heavy Cover with the Gamatsu hook & the other was the Strike King swimming jig with the Mustad wire hook. I've never been one to use a swim jig but there have been times when I was using a Chatterbait & the bass were in the cat tails and didn't want to commit to that presentation. Both are bluegill color pattern and I already had the 3.75 Ragetail Swimmers to go with em. The main forage for most of the lakes I fish are bluegill. Alot of pumpkinseed with those bright red heads. I've got a nice H20 Express swimbait that looks just like them but most of the areas are rittled with alot of dibris which makes it hard to work it without getting hung up. So this year I plan to fish the thickest grass and areas I couldn't get to properly before. One of the lakes I fish has a ton of grass to fish in & there's huge crappie in all that grass. I'm definitely going to enjoy these jigs for sure. We didn't have this kind of good grade of jigs when I fished tournaments in the early 90s. This year is going to be a better experience no doubt!!!! I'm going to be putting these Daiwa rods to their fullest potential this spring. Hope everything is going well for you Debo?? Just about geared up for the 2020 fishing season. Thanks for sharing this video. Later 👊🤘

Thnk U, Thnk U, Thnk U! Fist video I've seen where the color, style and action of trailer is explained. I'm going to dedicate a week to just jigs now that I have a working "understanding". 😊

[@chrismcvey908]

Outstanding! Definitely one of my new favorites from the Debo Library. I learned so much from this video. The head style was something I really didn’t consider but is so crucial like you said to the swim jig’s effectiveness. The hook style is something I really need to keep in mind too with all baits not just these type. It really serves as a good reminder that fine wire hooks can cost lost fish if you have too stiff of a setup. I fish braid and Fluoro most frequently and there isn’t as much give. This clip has great logic to it and there are many things to take into consideration. With that being said, I cannot wait for part 2 :)

The only fish (a bass), that I've caught so far, was on a 6th Sense swim jig. So, yes, I expect that I'll try more of this type of lure. What I need to learn more about is to how to choose a proper trailer. Happy fishing!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Match the hatch man. Match the trailer to the jig and experiment. Sometimes the swimbait tail with a lot of action makes all the difference. Good luck brother.

DEBO! Shhhhh! Don't tell everyone about my secret lure. Swim jigs are such good lures and are a year round staple for me. Modifications are the biggest key. Anyone can pull a jig & plastic trailer out of a package & tie it on. How you "tweak" it to make it different than the normal weekend angler just tying one on out of the packaging will help get you more bites.

[@cecilworsham5896]

[@JoeWeymouth]

Great information Debo. I use the heck out of the jigs here in Colorado. And you have the same trailers that I prefer to use. I noticed the trailer hook on your spinner bait. Do you use the same trailers for your spinner bait or just use the trailer hook? That might be a good video subject for the future.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks for watching man. I really only use swimbait trailers or nothing on a spinnerbait. I pretty much always have a trailer hook on my spinners! I could do a vid on that!

[@The_Great_White]

Yo debo, I’ve been noticing some people debating about the correct rod to use for the swim jig. Would you want a fast or moderate action rod? I’m using a mh fast but that was before I knew about it. I’ve caught some and lost some. I was just wanting to increase my catch ratio.

[@DEBOSFishing]

I've messed with both. When are you losing the fish?

[@The_Great_White]

DEBO'S Fishing if I let off of the pressure for just a second. I hook em really hard and reel like crazy to keep pressure on em, especially on longer cast. Sometimes I’ve had em strike close unexpectedly and if I let off the pressure at all they’re gone and I’m using the 6th sense swim jig, they have a very lite/thin weed guard. I just don’t know what’s going on lol.

[@DEBOSFishing]

@@The_Great_White yeah, pressure is very important. Using anstiffer rod? What type line?

[@The_Great_White]

DEBO'S Fishing I use a mh curado rod 7’2” with 17 fluorocarbon

[@DEBOSFishing]

@@The_Great_White pretty standard setup. I'd just be sure you're pulling into the hard ro set thr hook and keep pressure the whole time. Don't let your rod go straight to throw slack.

I'm super confused about what size chunk or menace to get for the Dirty Jigs finesse football jig. I also have a Smallie Beaver in my cart. Would I go with the Tiny chunk or the regular?

Why do you suggest warmer water = more action on the trailers? Is that because you're trying to imitate the bait and they exhibit less activity/action in colder water?

[@TheGolem105]

Hsin-Jung Chow yes

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yep. As the water gets cold down into the 50's and 60's the fish slow down. They don't want a big crazy fast moving bait. That's when the slow subtle approach is important. Thanks for watching man.

DEBO'S Fishing Well once the water temps cool I found that froggin is not the best top bite producer , this is when the spooks /super spooks get big bite attention ( not so much numbers but bigger when you do hook up ) ...this year we didn’t have much of a spring season, it practically went from winter to summer and that made early year fishing retarded but still made up for it with these extended summer temps well into September ....Like the vids Debs 👍🏻
