I WISH Someone Told Me This About Jig Fishing When I Started

[@Hex-zv4kq]

Thank you for showing me ways to catch more fish off a jig- Your #1 10 year old fan

[@bradr.7249]

I hated jigs for a long time, but now they are one of my go to baits when I am fishing lay downs and docks. I forced myself to learn how to fish them and I have had pretty good success. I now own 4 boxes of jigs and I make my own as well. The 5 points you discussed in this video are spot on. I also had a really good friend that taught me how to use them properly. Thanks for the great video Steve.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

It is amazing what a learning curve these lures have. It also took me a long time to get them figured out.

Best KZbinr! Ain’t trying to sell you a bunch of crap straight to the point

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Thanks!

I've went so far down the jig hole this year I'm tying and pouring my own jigs😂😂😂 I will say it's helped me in confidence alone just to have the colors I want for the waters I fish. So many times I look through the jigs saying I wish they had this color or that color. Not anymore, I just tie on the color I want and bamo bingo im catching fish on my jigs. Even if you don't pour your own, start tying your own skirts. Builds unbelievable confidence

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

That is really awesome! That is something I have wanted to do and just haven't taken the time to do it yet. You have inspired me!

[@pensnut08]

I suck at jig fishing... Time to just go fishing with jigs only for awhile. Great video! I need to remember that they can be fished throughout the water column.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Good luck! You’ll get it. It took me a long time to get them figured out. Let me know when you catch a big with one!

[@vernervanschalkwyk2280]

I NEED this video. I Battle with my jigs. Will follow your advice for sure, Steve.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Good luck! It took me a full season of using a jig almost exclusively to really get confident with one. Then it became a confidence lure. Those first bites are important for trusting it.

[@somewhereinsd362]

I spent an entire season, like u did with a jig, when i was shore fishing, and now it is always on my boat deck and its my go to confidence bait

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

That is awesome! So versatile and just works.

[@shannonkirby9295]

Hey, Steve, pray u are well. I love jig fishing. It has always been a big bite getter for me. Love this video. Be safe

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

It sure has a way of getting quality fish for sure. One of those presentations that when it clicks, it really clicks and makes sense. Have a terrific day!

[@LowBrowFishing]

You had me at jigs! Those 5 points are spot on! To me, there is nothing better than a good jig bite! And right now that bite is really turning on. The old football jig did good work just yesterday and the wife and I are leaving to spend another week at the private trophy bass lake. You know jigs will be a go-to presentation!

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Can’t wait to see that footage! I remember when jig fishing finally clicked for. Thanks goodness because it took awhile. Good luck on your trip!

[@plastikerongtatay]

Thank you the brilliant idea about jig fishing i love fishing traditional the Bait is earthworm or something mix feeds and cassava always safe and God bless us all

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@DrGargani]

the choice of trailer type is linked with water temperature: early season, cold water, you want LESS action on the trailer....very warm water, big flapping appendages will work better. Same can be said for fall rate: definitely faster in warmer water: in the middle of summer when the waters are above 80 degrees, sometimes you need a one ounce weight to get that thing down through vegetative cover quickly....

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Thanks for adding all this! I appreciate it.

[@learningtofish7036]

Thank you Steve

[@fabianf.7089]

Good content. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Subbed👍🏽

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@206_FISHING]

Have u ever tried a skirted wacky? I like the flare that it gives, i use 1/8 only.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I have not. I will have to - thanks!

[@davehuggins5777]

Great, great tips! Thank you. What are your thoughts on living rubber vs silicone skirts? Thanks, Steve.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I use silicone most of the time now, but the living rubber is very good and definitely need to use them more than I do.

[@Surfer-727]

You said set the jig hook horizontally, did you mean half vertically and half horizontally ? I thought treble hooks were set horizontally and single hooks vertically.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

That is an excellent question I should have gone more in-depth on. I like to side sweep when dragging jigs at a long distance, therefore the horizontal hookset is a good way to go, like a Carolina rig. If anglers prefer to drag a jig with a vertical lift of the rod then definitely a vertical hookset it preferred. Thanks for asking this!

[@eddiejones974]

I love an 1/8 jig cant get away from it

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Those finesse jigs are awesome lures. Totally agree with you.

[@zipzapzoom111]

Chartreuse pepper trailer is interesting. Im guilty of using natural colors across the board to a fault

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

That is a color I haven’t used in a while. Definitely need to!

[@floydmayes4924]

I going to say this knowing it has nothing to do with jigs. Been using Lews reels for a very long time. So I know the difference between now(Strike King owned) and before Strike King owned them. Lews now has the absolute worst customer service that I have ever seen. PERIOD!
