Is A JIG Or A TEXAS RIG Better For Bass Fishing?

Tyler your videos are impressive, probably some of the better content on KZbin for bass fishing, I will be a subscriber for life. I think you doing a video with a soldier or an event for the soldiers would give you an exposure to an audience that might not know who you are (which would be a disappointments, because the content quality would really help many). Your positivity is something that I believe both soldiers and you could benefit from.

[@ronniewetherington509]

Thanks for sharing. I purchased a Strike King football jig in October 2020. It was my first one. I fished it to death. My first time throwing it I caught a 2 lb bass on a hump off shore. I was hooked! I didn't want to throw anything else. I only caught 3 or 4 bass on it overall. Sadly, I over fished it and burned-out not only on the jig but bass fishing in general. Lol Confidence is everything even your not catching fish. It will keep you trying. I'm now trying to get back into some bass fishing. I have purchased both football, swim and more flatter head jigs and trailers to try again.

Never caught a fish on a jig, thrown it over 1000 times in lay downs, under docks, and all other places that they would usually thrive. I’ve caught a fish in the exact same places but with a Texas rig fluke

[@bassandgrass567]

I used to be the exact same way, but now the jig is one of my most versatile baits. My tip to you is to stop throwing everything else you have and exclusively fish a jig until you figure it out. Now I’ll throw em at docks and flip em in milfoil from may through October (pretty much the entire season up here in the north country). Good luck!

What kind of rod do you use for jig/Texas rig. Also you should make a video of all of your most used lures and what kind of rod you use. The reason I say this is because I am having trouble with what rod I should use for what or am I just over thinking it?

[@Babbies36]

I have to kind of disagree with the Texas rig hook up ratio. If you snell your hook When the fish bite you tighten your line and immediately races to hook into the roof of the mouth increasing your hook up ratio

[@TylersReelFishing]

To each his own. I personally don’t like the Snell knot

[@gavinjones4416]

Always wondered what’s the little thing on your cap? Sure it’s been answered just don’t know where to look.

[@babadeedee]

Anglr app. He mentions it in his comments

[@babadeedee]

I mean, description

[@TylersReelFishing]

It’s the Anglr Bullseye! Pretty cool deal for pre-fishing/breaking down water but even better for actually fishing. The Anglr app is basically a digital logbook that allows you to drop waypoints and saves all sorts of data about each fish catch that you can come back in later and view or edit. Stuff like wind speed and direction, air temp, barometric pressure, etc. The app is free but they offer add-ons like the Bullseye that just make it a lot easier to use. That’s the little thing on my hat in the video. It’s like 30 bucks but you can bluetooth link it to your phone and that way each time you catch a fish you just hit the Bullseye and it logs all that stuff without having to take your phone out each time. People compare ANGLR to Fishbrain, but it’s much more helpful at making you a better angler than Fishbrain

Can you do a video about the fall transition here in Texas? It’s been rough and hitting surprisingly early 😪

[@TylersReelFishing]

[@SneakerShow24]

Here in Ohio I can’t even get bit on a jig. I think it’s because they are so over fished. I can catch fish all day long on a t rig though. Just an observation

[@zachary9706]

Fellow Ohioan here buddy. I have the same luck. Thrown jigs hundreds of time with no luck. I’ve also caught 12 nice bass in one day on a Texas rig craw/creature/worm. Used a jig at the same spots with no luck...I don’t get it.

[@TylersReelFishing]

That’s some really odd stuff guys! I guess do whatever works, that just sounds silly that several of you can’t make it happen in the same state!

TylersReelFishing I’ll start throwing them more and try to be more confident with them. Maybe I was just having bad luck! Thanks for the good video and input man!!!!

[@Crushin123]

I don't know if i have ADHD or not - but I get overwhelmed by large weed flat or pad areas and tend to throw a frog or swimbait to try and cover water...yet I know I can catch jig fish - i don't know what to think anymore.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Covering water is not a bad thing! I think I feel you on that one. Just keep the jig handy if you can on a different rod, to cast and pitch around the holes and edges.

I live in the North East. Rhode Island to be specific. I go fishing almost 4 days a week. And have no luck. I fish spinner bait, chatter baits, creature baits, buzz baits.
