I've watched this video at least 5 times, Rod you are the OG of twitching jigs! You've definitely inspired me to love and bring twitching jigs to the river for a variety of species.

[@jabbnguyen3768]

well professionaly done, that's how a fisherman handle the catch without harming the fish, great catch

[@osheaferrero7758]

Luv your jigs rod started picking up your blanks last year to do my own ties with your hooks is top quality bro thanks alot

[@bettymclean2528]

Very nice video. those jigs look like they work great !

[@f1shk1LL3R]

Good video those jigs are awesome !!

[@kaitlynewgirl]

nice work Rod!

[@lovethemack]

Completely switching to jigs for coho, crazy fun and effective. Need more jigs lol

[@andyjame5150]

Wow just seeing this out of the box kzbin.infoUgkxQr1yd4Zc6qJF-scTB6Zb9dQbVpviuRxB recommend I have yet to fish with this set up, but based on the first hands on appeal, I can tell this is going to change the way i pack and carry to a whole new level. If you fish like i do, you know the smaller and less stuff the better. I’ve added a photo of just some of my gear so you can see how serious i am about fishing.

[@Donkoid604]

Great video !!!

[@reeltimem9171]

Awsome Vid bought some of your jigs and they work , watched your technic....

[@bobjacobs9834]

We have been using this technique with 1/8 oz jigs in slack water and deep pools since 1980 in Oregon and SW Washington. It's been awesome in clear water conditions. We use spinners, wiggle warts and bait in colored water. We called it free jigging and have had some 30 plus fish days on our home rivers, It's been a great way to fish. We use 3 or 4 types movement to fish then. Awesome great video.

[@racheldancerddd]

"Thats a dead dog" "You're a dead dog"

[@garychiang2568]

I have used these they the purpled are killer for coho and the pinks are dynamite for pinks. When spoons are not working for me I always switch to Rods jigs and they work great.

[@longmaga19]

What sizes are your jigs and what's the most common size do you use? I'm going to Trinity river in July and that's thanks for the tips. Great video, thanks?

[@Theclacker75]

Nice lookin jigs. What local shops carry your gear?

[@ClassicSta]

I would imagine these work well on both steel head and king salmon? About how much do these cost and where can I find yours?

[@swimbait1]

Funny I discovered this totally on my own 15 years ago or more in Oregon. I generally don't twitch quite as aggressive as you do tho. Wish we had fish that bright here.

[@nicholasyebra1988]

Seems like heaven to me lol

[@Mriceman604]

Coho's are awesome, my friend caught a few nice coho's as well with spinners, come check out the vids!

[@f1shk1LL3R]

I know you can get them at Freds in Chilliwack or order them from Bent Rod's web site

[@jrmjrmeeker]

how do you set that jig up really can't see it

[@chrispouch2688]

im new to salon fishing and was told that in the calumet river, their will be salmon. I have never fished for it before, im usually about the bass and catfish. do you mind telling me how you personaly catch salmon?

[@martinvaneeden280]

is this the harrison ?

[@adammiller4879]

Well the reason the fish are a bit spooky is you're running straight from the main line nanofil without a ,mono or fluro leader lol. Nice vid thougj. Veryn entertaining

[@andyyarrington8602]

you dont use mono with twitch,,we go straight off the braid slay em

[@lemon-iu7bo]

@@andyyarrington8602 you can use mano/flouro

[@bk7661]

What rod are work best for salmon jigging

[@eugenejohnson8635]

Your rod Lamiglas what the model of it

[@41odyssey]

Why the glove on released fish?

[@chriszack9183]

Very informative most videos aren't this guy's sharp

[@wyatt-csgo7601]

how do you like that lamiglas g-1000

[@jjseandxcefree]

Can you also fish a jig effectively by using a swivel and leader attached to the main line? My issue is I have braid and if I get a snag it may be a problem breaking line. Thanks

[@jjseandxcefree]

+Jj Sands oh yeah. np.

[@bugpumper]

Oh man, me in your boat plus my flyrod would = alot of hurting coho!!!!!

[@alekskozirevs9657]

VOOBWE DGE TUT RABOTA SPININGA? JERUNDA!

[@jrmjrmeeker]

what size is that shamono reels like that

[@HATINTHEKAT]

Don’t know if this helps years later but he’s using a 2500 sized Shimano Stradic, you can also use a 3000, which share the same body and size with just a deeper spool, 4000 can also be used but could be unbalanced for most twitching setups, but as with most things, you could make it work

[@cameronedwards7799]

Does this just work on Coho or other salmon species as well?

[@northwestangler5792]

+Cameron Edwards ive caught a chinook and pink on a jig

[@JBsteelie]

Killer for pinks! just use a pink colored jig instead.

[@on24eatery]

Where on the harrison are you fishing ?

[@abem.6976]

what type of rod was the fat guy using (no a fence) the gold one

[@f1shk1LL3R]

i'm not fat, i'm built like a tank, maybe the jacket makes me look big..anyhow its a 7ft one piece,

[@ashtoncunningham6981]

+Fisheye lens what river is this

[@f1shk1LL3R]

ashton cunningham Harrison

[@giannigunderson4475]

No a fence 👌😹

[@mrbabysitter11]

If salmon only bite out of aggression when there in the river. Why do colors and shapes matter so much. Why can't u throw any lure out there and work it properly and get bites??? Please answer soon. Thanks

[@onlyonewaytogetthere]

not true. seen it first hand...3 in a row.

[@mrbabysitter11]

What's not true

[@onlyonewaytogetthere]

that they bite only out of aggression. I've seen them down a bag of eggs like no other

[@f1shk1LL3R]

onlyonewaytogetthere that is still a bite out of agression, they stop feeding as soon as the get into the river systems

[@AllAlaskan907]

Fisheye lens I disagree with you. If this were true then it wouldnt matter the time of day, if it was out of aggression time of day wouldnt matter. Same with people who say Sockeye do not bite, I have seen several times them go out of the way to hit a fly or even a shrimp on a hook and even take salmon roe believe it or not. True many times it is out of aggression, but not always. There is a good reason why Salmon Roe works so damn well for Silvers and Kings. They are hitting it because it taste good to them, not because salmon eggs piss them off lol.

[@rs_604]

where is this location lol

[@jimhoyt2744]

Since to me

[@Captbilly1000]

Is there some reason you won't answer peoples questions?.

[@tomh1349]

What's a "dead dog"? haha

[@Ambassador321]

Likely referring to a Chum Salmon. They are often called dogs around here as they grow pretty sharp dog-like teeth as they are preparing to spawn. Lots of spawned out dead "dogs" floating around this system later in the fall.

[@bickertonben2595]

Rod was also referring to the coho being a "dead dog" as it was a hatchery. Sorry fish, bonk bonk.

[@colekeeshig5789]

I'm sorry but it looks like your running braid the hole way

[@HATINTHEKAT]

He’s using Berkeley nanofil straight to the jig as he stated,

[@johnbickle8457]

A female salmon is called: hen

[@hattrickster33]

@None Ya I'm sure hillbillies call them that but I've heard the same thing from diehard catch and release fanatics. They are general terms used by many anglers, hillbilly or not.

[@GrassLogic-fe9le]

If males are bucks, then females are does. I never hear anyone calling them hens outside of comment sections 😂

[@muchohucho]

not much verbiage on actually how to use the jig

[@nintendude1988]

"How to snag fish with no one questioning you"

[@duzit8496]

Northwest?

[@slash2jimi]

Do you even keep any? I'm a fisherman and I never understand what people get from just harassing fish..: If you're not keeping any what's the point?

[@KamloopsTrout]

they are releasing WILD coho salmon as it is illegal in BC to kill wild coho, only hatchery fish are to be retained as part of your daily quota, typically you will get a mixed bunch while targeting Coho

[@7mm08man]

Richie Louis hatchery fish are distinguishable by a clipped adipose fin.

[@HATINTHEKAT]

Beginning of the video shows that he clearly has two in the cooler lol

[@humanoid144]

u having fun but not very informative

[@daacount]

Fishing with Rod knock off? Common buddy. Give your head a shake.

[@colekeeshig5789]

To me that's just like bass fishing sorry

[@EaStxVaNxiNc]

bass fishing has to be the easiest fishing in there world sorry to say this is salmon fishing

[@redsea2942]

Bass lol u goofy sob. We catch salmon here not 3-5 lbs bass lmao

[@Donkoid604]

Fishing with rod knock off jk
