Thank you!

[@johnbutler307]

Great video thanks for the tips.

[@jamesadams1357]

Keep the winter jig videos coming guys. Been whacking them for decades on a simple jig in fall and winter. May have to try that jig, looks like it had a nice compact profile

[@davidstapleton2175]

I like watching your videos you explain things very thoroughly I send them to my son Dylan who fishes on the college team at ULM Warhawks . He’s fishing The lake of the pines in Texas some next week. I’m hoping this will help him to a win . Thank for you for time and content.

Nice man I cannot commit to throw a jig or swim jig like you man...!

[@Shawn_Lai]

Dang son, it's been in the 40's for the last couple of weeks here in Chicago aka Chiraq. I stop fishing when the ice moves in.

Yes please

true bass nerd cant even make a vid without casting lol love it

[@richardwhite4817]

What's the trailer your using or what's your trailer of choice?

[@KyleWelcher]

It varies all the time. Anything that looks like a craw. I always am changing it up

[@kennethbeard881]

Thanks for the video bud

[@pacwestbassin3569]

Hey Kyle, great content! Do you find rattles have any impact on your winter/early early spring jigs? or is it water clarity thing just like the color choices you showed?

[@richardblake4777]

Would like more jig videos. We are catching bunches on Zoom Speed Craws with 1/4 oz sinkers. Also War Eagle s/B's white with gold Colorado's and 1/4 oz white jackhammer with Zoom Split Tail trailers. Kentucky's and blacks in 6" to 2 ft deep in the dirt. I keep trying to catch them on a jig but it's not happening. Do you have any explanation?

[@academicmailbox7798]

Have you ever tried another approach to jigs, Texas rigs and trailers?

[@academicmailbox7798]

Frodin flies 'Butterfly' tubes, various lengths for late season working as water draws down. And you might think bass would gravitate to certain size, profile or color. It's a wide profile lure designed to give action in the slower moving river pools (where fish might be feeding up). It's hard to get a profile that slims down and expands to the same extent, as it moves along. There's a Willie Gunn tube that Mikael showed a while ago.

[@KyleWelcher]

I never really have tried it but I’ll definitely check it out

[@academicmailbox7798]

@@KyleWelcher The tube is a slim model, they're either tungsten or brass (I think he does them in both). I forget which tube the 'butterfly' series were constructed on. I'm almost certain from memory that it was the one with the 'round' shape to the back. That's intended to house the trailer and hook which butts up against that part, and still enable free movement. You may have to peg the tube in front with a bobber-stopper. The point is though, you could go from an ordinary soft plastic and hook behind, to a Texas weight in front. And in front of the Texas weight, narrow down the profile in front of that again (where the butterfly would be positioned for most articulation and action). In some instances the weight of the plastic on hook and the butterfly itself as a system would be heavy enough to pitch in shallow water.

[@academicmailbox7798]

If you look at the designs you'll see what I mean. You're taking a plastic that is already a slim profile. And you're adding an extra dimension to that plastic by having this horizontal element as part of it. That is the butterfly. You wouldn't put the weight in front of the butterfly though. Mikael explained he was using his vacuum clear in the pandemic. To vacuum these discards from his manufacturing process. And he had a light bulb moment of how to use an off-cut to his production line. That he could never find a use for before. What the butterfly would do is to alter both the side profile and bottom profile of the plastic worm or trailer. Without going absolutely full bore. To the point at which you've got the fast diving tungsten head, of the normal jig lure. Mikael's coneheads are made out of tungsten in front, and here's another tungsten component against which all of the material sits against (and that rear tungsten cone butts against the trailer behind). So there is significant weight built into what is a very diminutive lure.

[@academicmailbox7798]

I put some of these in front of EWG hooks and things last September. Just to test it out and I was pleasantly surprised by it. We never use the Texas rigging approach in angling for trout or salmon. What impressed me with that rigging system, was how one could stack various things together. To create a lot of different profiles and shapes. As well as color combinations. Out of very little.

[@mikedaley2882]

I've bought probably 40 of the ace jigs and those things are bulletproof. I think I've only broke one off. They come thru about everything. It's a dam good jig bud

[@jimwarden9617]

I like it when you interact with your camera gal.

[@dpbfishing7656]

I heard you mention an Eviction Jig, where can I find that jig? Does Untamed Tackle make it?

[@KyleWelcher]

Yes it’s untamed tackle

[@macking4942]

Do you mostly thread your chunk on? And what chunks are those?

[@DirkDiddler]

How u rig your chunk fat side up or down on jig

[@KyleWelcher]

Fat side down

[@wildhog75playstation80]

Do you spray garlic on your jigs. Or do you put any kind of scent attract it on them thanks

[@KyleWelcher]

I do not

Alot of times when a bass is that thin, if you look in their gullet, you'll find they've swallowed a plastic worm and are starving to death, thinking they're full. 🥺
