How To Fish A Jig for Bass: The BEST Jig Fishing Tips for Insane Limits!

[@ainsworth.fishing4728]

Bass resource is the GO TO channel for me to learn how to improve my fishing!!! Shoutout to Glen!

[@bassresource]

No, YOU are the best! Thanks for being a subscriber!

[@genelavigne3711]

Started fishing jigs around 5 years ago and it's becoming one of my favorite ways to catch bass

[@petergumprecht2779]

Thanks Glen. One of my goals for the 2017 season is to learn how to jig fish and this is a great start for me.

[@bassresource]

Glad to help, Peter Gumprecht. Let me know how it works out as I would love to see the results.

[@mikesawyer6742]

Great video on jigs. I learned a lot on this one can’t wait to put to use

[@keaganvanhoof6056]

I used the tip of counting down until my jig hit the bottom. I and am so happy I learned and used this tip! It always took about 5-6 seconds for my jig to hit the bottom. Once it stopped at 2 I immediately set the hook and caught my PB! The bites were so subtle I would have never felt them. But by using the count down tip I caught about 15 fish all on a jig and it was my first time fishing a jig. Keep up the good work!

[@bassresource]

That's Awesome! Congratulations!

[@Grogers70426]

I'm not very confident with jigs. I used to have confidence in them when I would go out in the boat with my uncle but now I bank fish and I've tried using jigs but never seem to catch anything so I have about 30 jigs that don't get used. I'm going to use the info here and see if it helps. Thanks for the great videos

[@bajadan2769]

Same here

[@CeeDeezCardz]

My goal this year is to get better at Flipping/Pitching jigs. Great Video!

[@williambarnes1276]

Another excellent video. I have fished jigs since the mid 1980s and poured, painted and tied my own jigs. You always learn something watching and listening to someone else that you may not have picked up on your own.

[@bassresource]

Glad you liked it William Barnes!

[@ffoxyff]

Excellent tip on setting the hook! Never heard anyone else mention that, but it's so true. All your videos are great. Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@bassresource]

Awesome. Thanks for the feedback Jack Russel!

[@roskitopicito]

Glen, you're an excellent source for advice. I've been missing bites on jigs, and now I'm thinking it's because of the length of the weed guard(maybe?). Around 7:00 you demonstrate the appropriate length... I'll be rewatching this once the snow melts in NYC, and hopefully I'll pull out some lunkers this spring! Thanks bassresouce!

[@bassresource]

Great! Let me know how you do!

[@CptKirKBo]

I LOVE informative videos such as this one! Even though I am an avid bass fisherman with a couple hundred local & club tournaments under my belt, I grew up fishing jigs the Susquehanna River (near Pittston, Pa) which is a completely different style of bass fishing Vs. jig fishing for largemouth bass.Even though I have almost 40 years of experience under my belt, I did in fact pick up some insight by watching this video. What I value more than my learning a little is how this allows me to help teach my youngest son, who @ 16 yrs old is as dedicated to bass fishing as I was at his age. I wish I had this sort of information at my fingertips when I was learning the basics of bass fishing 30+ years ago. Thanks much! I love your instructional videos!

[@bassresource]

We love to hear when we do a good job. Keep ‘em coming!

[@HowRad15]

Really like your description on hook setting. You here so many different ways, what and when to set it. Very clear and makes sense. Thanks for another great video!

[@bassresource]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.

[@stanpankowski3280]

Love to have these jigs to go along with the great info and great videos. Keep them comming

[@njhf6487]

I never knew you guys had a youtube channel. Glad i was looking at the contest and found that you have one, definitely will keep up to date with the vids. Tight lines.

[@bassresource]

Thanks for the support, NJ H&F, and thanks for watching!

[@jeffjones9190]

Excellent information. Extremely informative for new jig fisherman! Great rod and reel info for jigs.

[@bassresource]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.

[@daytonyuhas3769]

This video helped me a lot! I'm the type of person that just yanks the rod upwards right away and sometime I don't get the fish, now I think I know why. Thank you so much for helping me out and I can't wait to use these techniques on the water

[@bassresource]

Glad to help, Dayton Yuhas. Let me know how it works out as I would love to see the results.

[@montyrose18]

Thanks Glen this video is more than helpful to me seeing as this is one of my goals this year in 2018 beginning an learning how to use! a jig bank fishing

[@bassresource]

Glad to help, Monty Rose. Let me know how it works out as I would love to see the results.

[@anthonylucia9197]

Nice video I get bites with jigs but often rip the lure out of their mouth using a med heavy set up but pretty sure I'm setting the hook when the line is tight I'll try to be sure of slack line

[@desmobob900sssp]

Yet another great Bass Resource tutorial. Jig fishing is my favorite! It seems like the big bass love a properly presented jig. Thanks Glen!

[@bassresource]

You're welcome Robert Scott! Thanks for watching.

[@anon5955]

Awesome video.. A LOT to learn here.. for the novice jig flipper to the seasoned angler.. the details you go over are very important...(the difference between "hooking" and "landing bass"!).. Your details are spot on! Great job!!

[@bassresource]

Hi Mr. P., glad I could provide value. Which one of them did you find most helpful?

[@treenawilliams2813]

Great info on the slack in the line. I will have to practice your tips on the hook set.

[@bassresource]

Great! Let me know how you do!

[@satch1947]

haven't used jigs too much up north here....great information

[@t97h1]

10:20 mark, never thought about turning their head. Usually so quick to set the hook rather than drop the tip and set on a slack line. Thanks

[@bassresource]

Tommy Harkey, glad I can help. Thanks for subscribing as well.

[@gunslinger1887]

Great tips. I haven't been much of a jig fisherman but I'm going to try them out this year. Thanks again Glenn.

[@bassresource]

Thanks, Damian Bacchus, I appreciate your feedback.

[@glennsargent9523]

Jig fishing is king just about everywhere! They really catch fish. This a great vid for fishing one.

[@stanboerner1085]

Very good info. Color combo recommendation was very good

[@howards3786]

GREAT video with excellent information. I fish jigs, but there is a lot of information that I had never seen or learned. The swimming action is interesting and will give it a try. Thanks much.

[@purvislee177]

started jig fish last year I enjoy that technique I tried to watch as many videos as I can and like to learn more about it

[@nicholasgray2418]

thanks for the tips on the equipment! I've been fishing jigs for a while but couldn't find a set up I really loved until now

[@bassresource]

Nicholas Gray, glad I can help. Thanks for subscribing as well.

[@ZakHancock]

Currently teaching myself to flip and pitch left handed. Seeing this video confirms the need in my eyes. Seeing that extra time he spends every cast switching hands and trying to get into “hookset position” as he calls it is motivation to get this left handed technique mastered!

[@paulmassey1089]

Been bass fishing for 4 months. I caught my second biggest bass (only 4lbs) on a jig in open water with a cast and retrieve. Was awesome.

[@minusculebraincell5030]

I haven't really done much jig fishing, and the tips and such in this video will help me to make sure I don't make any mistakes when I go out to try this

[@bassresource]

Great! Let me know how you do!

[@revjimparsons]

A jigging rod is on my list...it looks so fun to catch a fish on one. Thanks for the tips and advice!

[@bassresource]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.

[@timward3685]

Thanks for the video Glenn, I need to start jig fishing and this video gave me the info I need.

[@bassresource]

Tim Ward, glad I could help. Let me know which tips helped the most. Looking forward to hearing much more from you.

[@danlangel762]

Thanks for the great advise! I am looking forward to giving these a try once the weather is a bit nicer.. I don't quite feel like a bass fisherman because I haven't done any jig fishing..

[@bassresource]

Glad to help, Dan Langel. Let me know how it works out as I would love to see the results.

[@aaronneff980]

Thanks for the detailed hook set tips. I don't have much confidence with jigs and I think a lot of it come from trying to set the hook on a tight line.

[@bassresource]

Aaron Neff, glad I can help. Thanks for subscribing as well.

[@desmobob900sssp]

I can still remember the first fish I caught on a jig. Jig fishing = big fish and lots of fun. Thanks for the tips. I like to flex and soften the fiber weed guard a bit before fishing a new jig.

[@bassresource]

That’s a good tip as well, Robert Scott. Thanks for sharing.

[@garlawrence5070]

Great video awesome info

[@mikeweaver1214]

I've not done much jig fishing yet, but I'm going to start giving it a go. Great video and information!

[@bassresource]

Great! Let me know how you do!

[@michaelduda9212]

[@bassresource]

Thanks for the feedback William Schneider! I appreciate it.

[@sdbasswe]

This is the video I've been waiting for I've been trying to get better at jig fishing and these techniques will definitely help. the information about the hook set and really down and not giving yourself slack was especially interesting and I will try and incorporate that into my skill set. thanks so much

[@bassresource]

sdbasswe, glad I can help. Thanks for subscribing as well.

[@jimthibodeau2212]

Thank you for laying out simple jigging techniques. Very helpful and easy to follow. Not many other videos are able to do so.

[@bassresource]

Thanks for the feedback Jim Thibodeau! I appreciate it.

[@brianmalatia5956]

I never new smaller eye lids on the pole gave you a better feel for the fish. That is good to know.

[@ericenderle7034]

Good video. I need to work on my jigging technique this spring. And try Ned rigs.

[@jr5856]

Relatively new to bass fishing. I have a few jigs and have tried them with very little success. Watching this video gave me the help I need to make some changes in how I fish them. I've made a lot of mistakes. Thanks for the tips and help.

[@jamesclouser7386]

Great video good info I can see where it can get confusing with all the colors, I guess the old adage is true keep it simple!

[@darrellwiller2484]

Good tips to help me jig fish better and help me use the right rod, reel, and line to use b

[@jamesmoody5395]

Great information! I have seen a lot of really good bass caught on jigs. I will have to practice on some of the tips covered in this video.

[@bassresource]

Great! Let me know how you do!

[@bassanglerxxx8444]

Greg Hackney is my favorite jig fisherman,one of the main jig tactics i learned from hack when using braid,you DO NOT SET THE HOOK HARD WITH BRAID!!!! YOU JUST PULL HARD WITH A FAST TIP ROD WITH MEDIUM ACTION!!!! Hold your rod tightly and with a high speed baitcaster reel(7 to 1), just start to reel up quickly because, with braid being no stretch the fish could have it down his throat and you will rip it out his mouth, but based on my using of that tip, for me was mainly true in shallow water maybe 5 feet....but in deep water i tended to miss too many with that particular technique.but i also learned from him that,flo carbon is better than braid because it sinks too slow

[@shortcircuit8854]

BassResource is my go to KZbin channel . Always great info.

[@bassresource]

Thanks for the support, Thomas Wright, and thanks for watching!

[@kennethjessie1196]

This is some really good info on jig fishing, and it should help a lot of people! There are plenty of people who have never used a jig.

[@bassresource]

Thanks for the support, Kenneth Jessie, and thanks for watching!

[@mikem2591]

I'm going out fishing tomorrow. This was a good refresher on jig fishing

[@billvet6]

Very informative again. I plan to try jigs for bass more this year. I usually throw a spinner bait or lipless crank bait but have a box full of bass jigs that have never hit the water. I use jigs all the time for crappy with good success. I really enjoy these videos!

[@bassresource]

Glad to help, Bill Carter AB9QU. Let me know how it works out as I would love to see the results.

[@marilynbaird8934]

Great video I have jigs wrong for so long. I have always set my line with a hard line set, always waited until I felt the fish and weight before I set the hook. Will definitely try setting with a little slack in the line.

[@bassresource]

Marilyn Baird, glad I can help. Thanks for subscribing as well.

[@arnoldgarciajr1906]

Thanks for the tips on setting the hook. I never new that it was better to set it on slack line. my PB 6.2lb bass came out of Moses Lake on a black jig with a craw trailer. Definitely produce quality bites.

[@bassresource]

That's a tank! Congrats!

[@TheDaddystressed]

As always a lot of good info and tips. One thing he mentioned that most might overlook is to not let you plastics hang out so far past the hook. Very small detail that carries a lot of weight.

[@bassresource]

You got that right! Thanks for watching, Eric!

[@hoofbeats60]

Some really good pointers. I have the opposite problem here in the Midwest. We seldom see clear water so I’m using allot of Black/Blues

[@robtresino4791]

The advice on the hookset might be the most useful part of the video, because it's a little different from the typical hookset used with plastics and Texas rigs. I personally love jigs, especially in clear water in the summer months. Very good video!
