A bad day of fishing is a better then a good day of work.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Amen!

[@saulrodriguez1250]

Exactly my man

[@Erodz.]

You might be the biggest help I have ever had when fishing thanks a lot!

[@TylersReelFishing]

Glad to hear it!

[@MysteryOutdoors]

2 of my top 5 lures I fish em all year long in every condition absolutely awesome

[@deepintheheartoftx7548]

Love the “Give’em the business” tshirt! We always say that because of you. Bought two!

[@TylersReelFishing]

Thank you!!

[@MoMan.88]

The jig and the wacky rig are a great dock fishing combo!!🎣

[@TylersReelFishing]

Yes they are!

[@joncarollo5182]

Hey I’m very new to fishing jigs and the one I’m currently using is not very good and I was planning on buying the jig that you used through you link so you make money, what was the exact color of the jig and the Mach trailer?

[@TylersReelFishing]

Feider jig is in money craw, trailer is just green pumpkin

[@joncarollo5182]

@@TylersReelFishing thank you so much

[@joncarollo5182]

@@TylersReelFishing I appreciate all that you do you have helped me so much thanks

[@calebpartenheimer7636]

Well based on an older video I watched, whatever people are using when they bass fish, you still want to go with darker colors in low light/low water visibility conditions and then brighter, more see through colors on sunny days and/or more clear water conditions correct?

[@TylersReelFishing]

Yes

[@kylemartinos9210]

I love a good jig bite! I seem to get bigger fish on jigs and smaller ones on a wacky worm. But I always get more bites on a wacky rig. Always love your vids!!!

[@BassHead1322]

Great video. In my open the best lure is the one you got bit with. 😂

[@TylersReelFishing]

True haha

[@tonyb-50]

I love this challenge style 1 vs another

[@TylersReelFishing]

Love that!

[@omalysiragusa9747]

Did you use a bfs baitcadter to skip the wack rig or did you just adjust the settings and go with lighter line ?

[@TylersReelFishing]

No, it’s the Pro SP

[@devsvision9062]

We have a pond by my house about 150 feet by 100 feet and you always see bass jumping but nobody’s ever caught one to my knowledge. We only catch catfish and carp. Any tips iv tried frogs, jiggs. And nothing. Any tips ?

[@babadeedee]

Thursday night just got better!

[@TylersReelFishing]

Let’s go!

[@Mustang_Dan]

Been only fishing night crawlers lately cause I have been out of town without all my tackle and then also teaching my gf when I got back home a month ago. I figured it’s easier to get her hooked using worms to catch ANYTHING so she got into it before she got bored and it worked. Not to mention the panfish bite has been CRAZY lately on lake St Clair with bass biting too. So I’ve been going “high speed low drag” and only bringing terminal tackle and worms lately. However today I busted out the wacky rig (among other things, chatterbaits from TW still on the way) to test my new curado mgl and caught my first 5 on artificial in ages.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Get up shallow in those marinas and skip a jig and wacky around those retaining walls! Tons and tons of largemouth there

[@Mustang_Dan]

@@TylersReelFishing That’s where I started. But I moved on cause Gobi’s and blue gills kept ripping my worm off. On my way back to the car I dropped a wacky rig down against the sea walls and under the docks and got one last bass lol.

[@joncarollo5182]

I know which one is better, the hover stroll. I just got the strike king baby zoom lures from for video a couple of mouths ago and I can’t wait to use them!!

[@TylersReelFishing]

Nice 👍

A good try. Have you tried the new Lew's BFS reel?

[@TylersReelFishing]

Yep! Love it

[@jimmcculloch5825]

@@TylersReelFishing Thanks.

[@WackyKayaky]

Actually just caught a 3+ pounder on a football jig bank fishing local ponds! Only getting bites early afternoon though, nothing really after 1ish. What is the jig rod you’re using? In the description it shows the same one as the wacky rig, looks like Lews KVD?

[@TylersReelFishing]

I think I was using the signature series skipping rod, if it’s not right in the description, I need to change that

[@WackyKayaky]

@@TylersReelFishing ohh okay, when I click on the jig rod it shows the same as the wacky rod which maybe they were just different colors they both pulled up the same silver signature series.

[@ReactionGiants]

The 8” bullworm catches everything bro

[@TylersReelFishing]

It’s a good one!

[@Steez0099]

Wacky rig for me is quantity but that bladed jig normally gets me the quality fish I’m looking for, bigger bites ( IMHO ) both phenomenal choices no matter what!

[@jdc_2000]

Making me nervous driving that trolling motor over all those weeds. This past trip I was getting SKUNKED in a lake that has a lot of hydrilla like in this video but I tied on a football jig for the first time with a half of a Yamamoto fat senko as the trailer, I’ve heard that’s been killing the game, and within a few cast I caught one, and then i caught a second one on it before I gave up cause I was having a hard time differentiating between bites or grass. But I caught 2 on it my first time trying the football jig out. Maybe wasn’t such a good idea with how much weeds I had going on but it caught me fish. So, it was a success!

[@lewisking567]

I would like to see another challenge between you and Tyler Burger on truman lake in mid west mo. Like you did on table rock.

[@TylersReelFishing]

We want to for sure!

[@Nikedude7]

Great content! I’m want to catch a bass on my football jig I have with a crawl trailer it’s just been hot 🥵

[@TylersReelFishing]

It’s been hot for sure

[@kennywallace3528]

So what’s best size hook for wacky rig ?

[@TylersReelFishing]

Size 1 or 2

[@AlvizoFishin]

I personally power catch the banks and any cover w a jig. Getting them bigs.

[@Big.D.Tv.]

Great info! (I like jigs better too)

[@TylersReelFishing]

Me too!

[@matthall8378]

I catch more on a wacky rig but lately been hammering them swimming a bitsy bug jig with a rage menace trailer rigged vertically.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Ole bitsy bug catches em!

[@lukewilliams5574]

I am going to try this challenge at lake of the ozarks where there are docks everywhere

[@TylersReelFishing]

Do it!

[@joshuagood-rz1fx]

The wacky rig is amazing, especially with Yamamoto’s. My two best bass have been on it

[@TylersReelFishing]

Nice 👍🏼

[@calebpartenheimer7636]

Tyler, I have I guess a question and a comment at the same time. You know bass fishing very well and I enjoy watching your videos to learn more. I have one complaint I guess you would say and that is for someone like me who sees one of your thumbnails and watches a video, you have a lot of videos that are around the idea of "This is the best top water bait, or best bait for this time or situation, but you also seem to have videos where your using something different in that same situation or maybe just a different tone or color. For example you seem to tell beginners to "said lure" but then in one video you said using a stand up shaky head with a long worm will get those big bass on the bottom. I also heard you say the same about that mega swim bait. Do you see how someone like me could get somewhat confused and sticking to one particular lure and then see watching you say, "This is another great lure, or another great lure for the same situation." Well, which is it? Should a somewhat new bass fisher start with a certain few amount of lures and ignore a video that you put out being excited about a completely different one than you had advised using in the past? Or should we actively build up our lure collection? I like the content but I do get confused. Just thinking out loud. I'm gong fishing later tomorrow and I have 2 or three different lures for the same situation that I am not sure which I'm going to start with lol.

[@brandonbarnes8997]

Bruh all you need is night crawlers, senko texas rig/ wacky rig with ewg hooks and minnows on 1/16 oz ball head jigs. The minnows get the pan fish, the night crawler get the catfish or use chicken liver and the senkos always get me bass. If the water is clear use a clear or light colored senko if the water is dark/murky use a dark color one. The only time I've used a lure is for muskie fishing.

[@Jon_Ray]

How do u skip a weightless senko so easy with a baitcaster

[@PimpTheCow]

He has a video on skipping baits, go ahead and give it a watch.

[@deancurlee9373]

I prefer a jig hands down but will pick up the wacky or nekko rig when needed

[@TylersReelFishing]

For sure

[@Sippincoffe]

You keep saluting those beautiful bald beauties T dog!

Laughed when it happened 😂

[@Sippincoffe]

@@TylersReelFishing I got a camp house on Lake Bistineau in North Louisiana. Would love to have you come stay and shoot an episode. We have our own boat ramp as well. Totally free, just might ask you for a tip or 2 😏. It's nothing super fancy, but it's still very nice spot on the lake. It's 3 beds, 2 bathrooms. Got a boat dock and a pier we share with the neighbors. Anyway.. doubt you see this but in the rare chance you do I figured I would offer.

[@HalidDervishi]

Hii im new to your channel i just wanted to tell a word to say when you lose fish (it was the fishes lucky day😅😅)

[@fvouthere]

I caught my first 4lb on a wacky last weekend 🎣

[@TylersReelFishing]

Nice!!

[@DeerSlayers9807]

I seem to have better luck with spinning reel when fishing weightless wacky rig, 7,3 med heavy fast action rod.

[@TylersReelFishing]

👍🏼

[@holymackerel33]

I thought the wacky rig was supposed to mimic a crawfish, with the ends of the lure representing the action of the claws. Idk for sure though.

[@TylersReelFishing]

No, wacky rig does not have anything it’s supposed to imitate

[@Sippincoffe]

Jig!

[@saraholive1839]

if it wasn't for you i would catch nothing

[@babadeedee]

Amen!

[@TylersReelFishing]

Heck yeah!

[@dontnonowuno9953]

My guess is that any pro tournament on any body of water,if an angler simply threw a senko(wacky,weighted wacky,t-rigged, weightless t-rigged,dropshot,neko)for 8 hours straight they would probably make the cut in more tournaments

[@TylersReelFishing]

That’s probably true

[@KeeLymeP1e]

Thx and God bless u

[@TylersReelFishing]

You too!

[@KeeLymeP1e]

Yea we really need rain here

Hope it’s better this year than last!

Pfft I can't skip a jig like I can a wacky rig! I get maybe two skips and a back lash on a jig ha ha Wacky rig does a few dozen and comes to a nice stop.
