How To Fish Finesse Jigs (The Best Ways) | Bass Fishing

[@MountBoxerSkully]

I think it's really great that you guys explain what to look for in a lure whether it's high quality swivels that let the blades spin well in spinnerbaits or the placement of the eye in finesse jigs that help you bring them through rocks and prevent hang ups. Showing the different retrieves is really great too. It's the helpful and unique insight that keeps me coming back to this channel time and time again.

[@bassresource]

Nice! We love to hear feedback like this. Thanks for being a loyal viewer!

[@nekayakfishing840]

You nailed it on the drag - I use 6# test all the time and have landed some pretty big fish on a finesse jig.

[@timcollins6223]

a few people don't have the patience, but jig is one of my favorites... many techniques to mimic real world.... walk, drag, etc. thx.

[@bmurr7]

Finesse jigs are quickly becoming one of my favorite techniques. Especially for Smallies! Great info thanks for this vid!

[@bassresource]

You're welcome britt murray! Thanks for watching.

[@bobbybrown4688]

30 years of knowledge, can't go wrong. Bite has gotten tough around here recently, guess it's time for some finesse jigging. Thumbs up Guys!!

[@RobertSmith-th1ul]

Thanks for the great tips and videos. I have never considered finesse jigs. Will have to give it a try.

[@leepifer1]

These videos are awesome. Finesse jigs one of my favorite ways to beat a tough bite.

[@kennethgarton2949]

Your videos are exceptional: just being yourself and sharing a wealth of information. You've helped me learn many new techniques. Thank you.

[@bassresource]

That's awesome! Glad to help. Thanks for being a loyal subscriber!

[@williambarnes1276]

Excellent video on finesse jig fishing with details on the little presentation nuances that make the difference between catching and nothing.

[@dustyh9558]

I have been fishing finesse jigs for a while now with some success but not a whole lot of confidence. After watching the video, I can't wait to get back out there and try it again. I'm especially excited to try the new retrieves I have learned from this. Love it and thanks!😃

[@bassresource]

You're welcome Dustyh! Thanks for watching.

[@parkerfleming1813]

All your videos are very informative and have helped me become a better angler. Jigs will help a lot around the ponds where I live

[@bassresource]

Parker Fleming, glad I can help. Thanks for subscribing as well.

[@kman2112]

I love using small jigs. Caught some of my biggest bass on them. Thanks for another great video.

[@208angler5]

You tell a bunch that I already know, but it's a great thing to keep me grounded and think about those little things that I overlook through the day. And I love to send new anglers or learning anglers to you channel. You are doing great with to the point tips and not a lot of fluff.... keep it up 👍

[@bassresource]

Thanks, 208 Angler, I appreciate your feedback.

[@frank61953]

Excellent tutorial!! I'm not a proficient jig angler, however I am going to employ these techniques when I'm back on the water. I have some awesome places I need to do this!! Thanx Glenn for the tips!!

[@bassresource]

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

[@dewayneatwell7604]

Great video and tips Glenn. I really like the addition of the underwater footage so we can see the action of the jig. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@bassresource]

Thanks, Dewayne Atwell, I appreciate your feedback.

[@charlieboy6501]

Excellent information on finesse jig fishing! When its tough and fish won't chase....finesse them!

[@rickywhiteii4591]

Those tips will definitely help when the bite gets tuff. And I agree with switching to 6lb line. It makes a big difference in clearwater. Another great video Glenn, keep em coming. Thanks!

[@bassresource]

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

[@jonstevens802]

Good, informative video. I like that you covered all the bases. Rods, reel, line, weight and technique.

[@jamesf1525]

I'll check my tackle today & see if I have a top tie jig. May use the technique tomorrow, weather permitting. Thanks for the useful Info, Glen.

[@jimharris6452]

I just started fishing jigs more this year. I haven't fished the finesse jigs much at all but, after this video I'm going to give them a shot! Great tips Glenn!

[@bassresource]

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

[@chesterwagner3985]

Excellent information on finesse jig fishing, They will pick up fish other guys miss, thats for sure!

[@michaelrusso4151]

Just started using these myself recently. Haven't caught anything on them yet but with the tips in this video I am sure I will get something soon! Great video once again!

[@bassresource]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.

[@davidpowell8130]

Finally a video on finesse jig fishing. My favorite.

[@bassresource]

Glad you liked it David Powell!

[@Optimus42069]

Fall fishing is here in 2020 and here i am watching this to help get my technique down Thank you!!!

[@bassresource]

Glad to help!

[@petescales4689]

Finesse was all new to me but with the help of videos like this I'm at least becoming better at it! Jigs as a finesse bait really threw me. Thanks for the helpful video!

[@bassresource]

Pete Scales, glad I can help. Thanks for subscribing as well.

[@moguy1973]

I've never really downsized my baits and slowed things down like I should. I need to try these tips out. Thanks Glen!

[@williamhinnant9275]

Great video Glen! So much knowledge in all of you videos but this one especially surprised me. I like how you talk about presentation and line because they both are extremely important. I have never fished finesse jig but now I have plenty to take with me next time on the water. thank you!

[@bassresource]

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

[@jacobsmith6614]

I never would have thought to drag or crawl the finesse jig. Thanks I will be sure to use these. Also love the underwater footage of the crawl so we could see what the jig does down there not enough instructional videos do this.

[@bassresource]

Nice! We love to hear feedback like this. Thanks for being a loyal viewer!

[@rob8233]

It does take a lot of practice to fish with jigs like the pro's do, It is one of the harder baits to fish with. Finesse hits this Video on the head. Thanks Rob

[@PMac]

I was not aware that there was such a thing as a "finesse jig" until watching this. I will have to seek them out and give it a try. Anything that solicits bites on a tough day is something I need!

[@robertstanley4988]

Hot summer in central Florida, finesse jig is the only way to go. Great info.

[@garcj108]

I watched this yesterday morning and I downsized to 10 lbs line (i normally use 15lbs). It worked for me. I hooked on a very nice 5-lber. Very cool! Super cool baits too. Thanks Glenn

[@bassresource]

Awesome. Congratulations Libo!

[@tablerockkid8237]

Finess jigs - one of my go-to methods here on Table Rock. Thanks for the informative video.

[@larrylawyer7399]

I'm teaching myself how to jig fish right now, so this will be some more learning for me! I will be trying this technique!

[@bassresource]

Great! Let me know how you do!

[@silver90500]

Good video. Finesse jigs are a confidence bait for me. Thanks Glenn!

[@MrBulletChaser]

Caught my biggest bass finessing a jig. They can't resist it. Great tips!

[@dennisstancil8036]

Another great tip, I will try it next time I'm on the lake.

[@stevefox6513]

Very good tips Glen and the results were a couple of fish worth reeling in during the video. Nice!! :-)

[@shawnriebe4547]

My goal is to figure out jig fishing this year. This helps. Thanks

[@workn2fish682]

Thanks for the tips Glen. Using floro instead of braid. Keeping backed away versus the close up flip/pitch of a bigger jig. Can't wait to give it all a try.

[@strengilmore7372]

Great summer time presentation

[@ratrod47]

Excellent video great tips. Will have to try using the 6 lb line.

[@MikeHunt-bg9gu]

Great video, more confident using jigs now.

[@alanbailey4854]

Great info. Need to get me some fitness jigs and try this. Thanks.

[@MikeG922]

I love using jigs.... thanks for the tips.. great video as always. I appreciated the rig tips too. I wish more videos touched on rod n reel, you even covered line weight.. nice details. Thanks!

[@bassresource]

Thanks for the support, Mike Garaffa, and thanks for watching!

[@fernandopacheco9651]

Good tips on the retrive speed!! Thanks.

[@ronwyatt3001]

I've got three or four finesse jigs in my bag.......but havn't gotten comfortable with the style. I'll give it another try, and see how it goes. Thanks, Glenn, for the info

[@bassresource]

Great! Let me know how you do!

[@jimfite209]

As always, great information! I don't have any finesse jigs in my tackle bag right now, but I will very soon. Thanks for making these videos and making them so a novice like me can understand them. Love your channel and website!

[@bassresource]

Awesome. Thanks for the feedback Jim Fite!

[@horacereid6568]

Great Tips I love jig fishing and love your teaching.

[@jasonmeade123]

Good tips. Love fishing jigs. Time to get jiggy with it!

[@ericcluck2295]

Thanks for tips on fishing Finesse jigs. I'm still learning but this seems like great information

[@briannavafiadis1832]

Very Good video! I need to put these in my go to box!! Keep up the Great Job with all the information.

[@mysteryman2958]

Have fished these before but the video gave me several ideas for additional ways to present them when my usual way is not producing.

[@JohnSmith-dv3du]

love these tips never had any luck on jigs now i know why

[@thomasrogers9129]

He put that finesse tactics simple easy to understand can wait to try the techniques I learned from bass resource thanks

[@bassresource]

Glad you liked it Thomas Rogers!

[@garywhite75]

helpful tips as usual. will have to give flippin floro a try.

[@eddieblanco9807]

Great video Glen.. learn so much when i watch these videos!.. keep em coming!

[@bassresource]

Hi Eddie Blanco. Thanks for the feedback and support. I look forward to hearing more from you.

[@RhinoVenturesOutdoors]

I have a couple of finesse jigs that I've never tied on, mainly because I'm inexperienced with them. This vid makes me want to give them a try.

[@lemesnil1]

Love love love love Jigs! You always have great jigs!!!!! Set ups are rad too as always....great video...

[@rongranneman9361]

Glenn: Notice you do'nt wear button shirts. Thats good!!! I notice also that my saved videos recently have been loading up with Bass Resource, Glenn May videos. I Like your teaching style. This vid is a great example ..... especially including the underwater photog. clarifying the technique. You definitely have a special talent. Am a lifetime almost 85 year old fly fisherman, retired guide, with 5 new spin and casting conventional outfits, learning a new technique....with my trusty fly rod close by, I might add. Many top bass pros are as knowledgeable as you....maybe more ?......but sometimes they know and assume too much, and just do not have the teaching ability and have difficulty in transferring their knowledge in an understandable fashion to us newbies. Keep up the good work.

[@bassresource]

Nice! We love to hear feedback like this. Thanks for being a loyal viewer!

[@nolanabell703]

I never really knew what a finesse jig was, thanks for the tips!

[@brianwalters1398]

I have never used the yoyo method i have always did more of a straight swim jig. I am going to try some of the finesse jig method didnt think there was so many different retrieves. Thank you for your videos i have learned so much from them.

[@bassresource]

brian walters, glad I could help. Looking forward to hearing much more from you.

[@masonm.5109]

Fantastic video once again guys great information like always. You guys are really a outstanding resource for bass fisherman worldwide. Keep up the amazing work 👍

[@bassresource]

Nice! We love to hear feedback like this. Thanks for being a loyal viewer!

[@doreencraig1083]

This technique better work, Glenn, cuz I just spent 20 minutes of my life watching it! Really liked it and can't wait to try it out.

[@bassresource]

LOL! Let me know how you do!

[@larrystokes8916]

Another great video. I like fishing those thru sparse grass. Also great for rip rap.

[@jeffraygooch5154]

Lovein some finesse jigs, great in tough conditions and cold winter for sure. slow fall makes them eat sometimes lol

[@timtingle6689]

I learn something with every video, thanks.

[@CryptoJourneyKs]

Thanks for the video. I am new to jig fishing I appreciated all your tips on how fish it, etc.

[@michaelmendez8516]

great video. always something new for me to try. nest jig never heard of it called that but then again i am new to the shore fishing scene.

[@kennethjessie1196]

Great information! I love fishing jigs and I'm always looking to find new ways to make fish bite!

[@j33kindle]

This was very informative i did get a few good tips from this video thanks Glen...

[@austinbitner3448]

Great tip about the line tie!

[@bassresource]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.

[@dustykinley446]

I'm going to try this next weekend!

[@dirktucker77]

Thanks Glen, your the man!! You're helping me be more methodical.

[@bassresource]

You're welcome UserDeniedAccess! Thanks for watching.

[@justingallardo6901]

Great vid and nice catch glen. I absolutely love finesse jigs especially for smallies, thanks for the tips !

[@bassresource]

Glad you liked it Justin Gallardo!

[@bruceburr2343]

I've bean throwing them around lily pads, with a mister twister grub style tail on it. Works great.

[@davidcarlisle3205]

fantastic vid. Greg!! I love the Jig bite!!

[@allanpalmer2877]

As always, great tips and a fun video, Thanks!

[@mitchelmore7147]

This is really interesting because I usually think of jigs as big bass baits and go to a small straight tail worm for finesse. The finesse jig might pick up bites that I was missing out on before.

[@jeromedwojak918]

Glenn, once again great video. Like the idea of using 25lb floor for pitching and flipping finesse crawl or perhaps other small creature baits when the bite is tough. Applying the different retrieves for various situations is great thx again.

[@bassresource]

Thanks for watching Jerome Dwojak!

[@nascar2428]

6lb test, i don't know if I can do that. However a lot of these tips can be used from both the boat and from shore. Thanks for sharing.

[@trextrextrex]

yeah 10 to 14 would be light for the types of jugs

[@allenbranch9977]

I am not a very good jig fisherman so any information is good for me, however I am a fan of light tackle so finesse may be right up my alley.

[@lucasboyan2577]

definitely learned a bunch of new helpful tips from this, thanks!

[@edlafontaine2187]

Great info. Your frog one helped me get my personal best 6.24 lb. Jiggin is my weakness so I will try this on Friday. Going to Lake Eufaula ,Al will let you know how I do. Got em ali rigged up already.

[@bassresource]

Congratulations Ed LaFontaine, glad I can help. Thanks for subscribing as well.

[@jlb9278]

Great video on finesse fishing

[@keltonzac]

I love the Finance Jig! Thanks for the tips.

[@brucecorney6968]

Thanks for the tips GlenThe lake I routinely fish has been very tough this year Maybe this will scroung up some fish....

[@GlockMotion]

i just picked up my first spinning set up the other day bought a st croix premier in 7 ft medium-fast with a lews custom pro speed spin in 3000 size using 15# braid with 12# fluoro leader, i live in fl and im terrified to go lighter with my leader lol

[@fishcoach4011]

I've been reacquainting myself with my spinning gear this summer...finesse jigs are the way to go.

[@1304GT]

Luv me some finesse jigs. I like a white one with a white Yamamoto grub trailer when they are feeding on shad.

[@mrwil341]

great tips, one of my go to baits

[@kermitsoad]

Always a world of knowledge

[@danielwagoner]

Great tips. Definitely something I will be adding to my tackle box

[@montyrose18]

I love all your information and It's much appreciated I enjoy fishing finesse style and trying out jig fishing on this style will be awesome

[@mikaelrantaoutdoors]

Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to hopefully landing my first jig fish soon

[@collinfox4588]

Great advice I'll be putting it to work soon

[@themarquistador66]

Since I fish a lot of wood, I don't use the traditional finesse ball head jigs. I do love the 1/4 oz structure, skipping, and swim jigs. I have a few 1/2-3/4 oz jigs I use when I fish deep, but my jig box is slowly being taken over by these micro jigs. They work all the time.

[@pauldowden9642]

Enjoyed the video. I just started fishing with jigs last fall with mixed results. Maybe finesse jigs will help to get a bite when things are slow. I will give them a try.

[@bassresource]

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

[@petetopa3544]

I have not been able to finesse fish because I am always power fishing. This video really helps

[@davidwright5947]

Great stuff,Glen! I'm using jigs more and more and was wondering what the difference of the finesse jig was. Very informative as always.
