MAKE Bass REACT to a Finesse JIG

[@scottkessler9602]

You made a fall jig video last year about rock transitions. I took 2nd place in a Wisconsin River tournament in September using the pattern you talked about in that video!!

[@BassGeek]

Thank you I try.

[@rconner4053]

Fished a local lake and got skunked. Came home and checked out your latest video. Went back fishing same place with a bitsy bug using the rage ned trailer AND caught some nice bass. YOU ROCK Bass geek. Maybe someday I’ll meet you in person and shake your hand in thanks for your video instructing.

[@BassGeek]

HECK YEAH! Way to go! I hope we get to meet up some time. What part of the country ya in.

[@grumpy4862]

Thank you for all you do I am relatively new to bass fishing a year in and still learning, what I have learned from you has definitely caught me more fish, I am a bank angler and there are only a few channels that include the bank angler, you and Debo are the only ones that include us regularly so that being said Thank You and #jig

[@BassGeek]

I know I'm a boat guy but I also know there are more guys fishing from the bank so I try to be sure I give the modifications I would make to the baits if I was fishing form the boat.

[@davewashburn8930]

Hey Hank, you nailed it on this one man! I use the bitsy bug #jig with the rage tail trailer & it is money! Appreciate the breakdown on the retrieval techniques & that scenery is gorgeous! Appreciate you 👊

I appreciate you sir. Thanks.

Thanks man this video helped me out. I agree with you not all hook sets are free, especially in the summer flipping heavy heavy cover.

[@BassGeek]

Thank you sir. I try to keep it real at least to me. I don't know every bait or rig but I try to share what I know and trust and I love to try new stuff.

[@seizedcarcass8440]

I love a black brown purple jig with a little copper flake mixed in. Preferably in the purple! Idk how this is such a killer color but it really is. I’ve used black and blue in there as well instead of straight black and it works great too. Basically just a modified PBJ

[@BassGeek]

Great color.

[@tp2811]

Great video as always. My favorite all around finesse color jig where I live is black, blue, chartreuse. I do my own skirts. Appreciate you Hank!

[@BassGeek]

Gotta love the skirt tweaks.

[@FishOn1]

Great point about free hook sets!

[@BassGeek]

Thank you very much.

[@TonyHookedonVanlife]

One of my favorite finesse jig colors, and this would be for water more on the clearer side, is often called 'pb&j', like a couple shades of brown with secondary strands of purple. Tip it with a craw/rodent/whatever with complimentary colors, green pumpkin, etc., w/ purple flake. LOVE IT!

[@BassGeek]

You know it. Nice color for sure.

[@mikegardiner3934]

another terrific vid, Hank!!

[@BassGeek]

Thanks sir.

Man I always have a jig on year round my favorite finesse jig is a war eagle heavy finesse jig 3/8 or what I really think is my favorite is a buckeye ball head jig 3/8 or 1/2 with a speedcraw on the back

[@BassGeek]

Mine too both those companies have been at it for years

[@kylepowers179]

I've never used the bitsy bug, I've always used either the war eagle or the AJ finesse #jig. I'll have to try the bitsy bug next time im at Walmart. Another good video, hope the rebuild is going good!

[@BassGeek]

Two very good ones. The bitsy but is just a cheap and common little bait.

[@brianlee9074]

Love fishing a #jig specifically a football jig. Those War Eagle Finesse jigs are killer too. Thanks for the video Hank. You rock big guy! #100percentwatchsquad 🤘😎🎣
