Timely tips for cold weather fishing.

[@Lray4x4]

In the colder water I like a Zoom twin tail grub on my jig.

[@GunnFishTV]

They definitely work good as well

[@RVA_lipripper]

Snowy days in VA are perfect for the @GunnFishTV and the jigmaster💪🏼

[@GunnFishTV]

I love a jig!!

[@davidtanner6834]

Early fall four years ago I resolved to only fish jigs: It was a big time game changer for building confidence in the jig and craw technique. Always great content.

[@GunnFishTV]

Thanks!! Its definitely something that you just have to fish to get confidence in

[@hashim5786]

Awesome video! These are some juicy tips, very helpful.

[@tomdadon756]

I’m a fisherman and I already know about what you went over in this video but I’d like to thank you for doing your best ( great) job at trying to learn people that might not know. I love the menace grub and I like it no matter how hot the water or cold because it’s a catcher.

[@GunnFishTV]

Thank you! The Menace Grub is definitely a versatile soft plastic for sure!

[@billydee1879]

Love jigs. Swim jigs are fun, too. Comes thru anything. Good for river fishing. Great video.

[@GunnFishTV]

I love a swim jig too. Just didn't talk about them in this video because I mainly wanted to talk about cold weather techniques, I have caught some big ones on swim jigs tho

[@garyplowman5838]

I'm one of those guys that haven't thrown jigs. Great tips and info to give me confidence in throwing them thank you sir 👍🏻

[@GunnFishTV]

Thank you! Definitely throw one! Its a great lure for this time of year

[@stevefisher2121]

Can’t beat the good old bitsy bug!!! Great choices!!!

[@GunnFishTV]

For sure!!!

[@bokettom]

I grew up throwing a black and blue strike king finesse jig. It became my number one confidence lure from the time I was about 10 years old and I still throw it today. I had to go to a dirty jigs no jack flippin jig when I moved down to SC. I have bent the hook out on the finesse jig on some Santee Cooper monsters in the fall of the year.

[@GunnFishTV]

The finesse jig does have a lighter hook on it, so it does bend occasionally

[@jameslovelace8958]

Kev you throw more jigs than most. Dave over at Fish30 is right there with you. I must admit, I throw jigs all the time. When I was young I had no confidence in them. Now I do so I guess I grew up and more patience with them. I throw a KVD Jig with a Berkley Chigger Craw. I must say that I have more catches on them now. Deep water, shallow water makes no difference. I love the Bitz Jig also.

[@GunnFishTV]

Jigs straight catch them! Im not sure why so many people are intimidated by them, but I was at first myself. Through the years, I have caught alot of fish on them though

[@gregunderwood5566]

I like a slender trailer later in the year and a zoom chunk not threaded on but just press through the middle in the spring slower fall in the spring is key

[@GunnFishTV]

Alot of my buddies prefer a chunk as well. Through the years I have slowly gotten away from it though. Just a preference thing for me that has worked well through the years

[@thomasedenbeck2392]

Jig fishing is my favorite. I fish it more than anything.

[@scottankers6690]

I'm sitting here watching the snow fall here in NoVa. Gonna be a long winter. Richmond fishing show in 2 weeks! Great tips man. I love jig fishing.

[@GunnFishTV]

Thanks!! Yep....its gona be cold!!

[@richardclayton7659]

Thanks for all the good information I really enjoy watching your videos

[@GunnFishTV]

Thanks!!

[@braappaholic]

That menace grub is a good jig and chatterbait trailer!

[@GunnFishTV]

For sure! Its my favorite chatterbait trailer as well

[@TonyWillard-ek6wf]

I’ve learned a lot from your channel thanks again for the great videos 👍

[@GunnFishTV]

Thanks!! Im glad I have helped you out 💪💪💪

[@danielryan5447]

Awesome Video. I want to say thanks for all the information.

[@GunnFishTV]

Thanks!

[@bryanthefishermanbaker4961]

Great video this is a bait I really need help with this one I have thrown it once or twice not very confident with it

[@GunnFishTV]

Just have to throw it more and you will get that confidence

[@SaltyRiverBassin]

Caught my PB last winter (6.8lb) on a jig after watching you tear em up on a jig. That was last January so maybe I can repeat it once this cold snap disappears.

[@GunnFishTV]

Thats awesome man. Yea its definitely cold out there!

[@bigmikefishingchonicles9950]

hello how are you i liked your video i started fishing a jig about 4 years ago now with the strike king bitsy bug with menace grub then i move to the bitsy flip but i did a lot of research on jigs and a lot of people just take the jig out and a add a trailer and throw it but what a lot of people miss is the weight so if you do that that jig is no longer a 3/8oz jig so now i weigh my jig the skirt and the trailer until i get 14 grams and it helps if you tie your own skirts and the Potomac river fish love it and black and blue is my go-to i use it in clean all the way to dirty always remember green pumpkin will get you something but black and blue is tried and true tight lines!!!!!!

[@GunnFishTV]

You are correct!! You definitely alter the weight once you add a trailer. It all makes a difference in some way. You just have to find what works for you and what your confidence is in 🔥🔥🔥

[@bigmikefishingchonicles9950]

@@GunnFishTV thank you very the one thing i meant to say also you have to change your mind set its almost like fishing a big swim bait you might not get a lot of baits some days but the ones you get will be nice thanks for taking the time to respond

[@zachturner3443]

🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣👍👍👍👍👍awesome video man .

[@GunnFishTV]

Thanks!

[@RichHartman-ki5pr]

Great content and great video.

[@GunnFishTV]

Thanks!!

[@stevenjones1589]

Strike King doesn't sell scounbugs around lumberton nc or Fayetteville nc. I use all Strike King jigs. Blue craw is my favorite, too. Lol. I'm a jig type of guy.

[@GunnFishTV]

Jigs straight catch em once the water temp drops into the 50s!!

[@jameslovelace8958]

Kev do you ever shorten your trailer up? I like a shorter trailer most of the time.

[@GunnFishTV]

Sometimes I do if I am missing alot of fish

[@michaelcorleone314]

Kev, this is the video ive been waiting on! Thanks alot. Question for you, i fish mostly Reservoirs and Lakes....should i go with a 1/4 oz. since its not tital water? Or stay with a 3/8 oz. I never fish jigs, so im going to fish it hard in February and March. Awesome video bud!

[@GunnFishTV]

Personally I stay with 3/8oz. 1/4oz will work too, especially if you want a slower fall rate.

[@michaelcorleone314]

@GunnFishTV Every piece of advice you have given has helped me tremendously! I will go with the 3/8 oz. Thanks Kevin!

[@jeffbrummette1622]

I’ve fished with jigs before but just got frustrated. I kept on losing them in hang ups! Never caught anything on them! I was told to trim the weed guard by cutting it in half. Your thoughts?

[@GunnFishTV]

I leave the weed gaurd the same length as it comes. Cutting it shorter will slightly stiffen it but doesnt really help it not get hung. Most jigs actually get hung in wood because the heads get wedged into the wood

[@SOFTAILX]

Great Video. I suck at jig fishing.

[@GunnFishTV]

Its fully a confidence lure that has its time and place in everyone's tackle box!! You just have to gain confidence in it

[@jameslovelace8958]

Practice and be patient with them. Never jerk it unless you’re setting the hook in a fish. If you throw a Texas Rig worm it’s the same thing. Feel for the bite and give them time as you reel down. They will run once they bite and you can go opposite of the line.

[@chriscurtis8577]

I will try some drinks next this summer coming up and see if I can get better at using cuz I know what you were saying you need to get better using drugs

[@GunnFishTV]

Definitely not using drugs!!! Lol

[@LMBOUTLAW]

You said you primarily us 20 lb Fluorocarbon line. Is that all you have on your reel or do you use braid with a fluorocarbon leader. Thanks!

[@GunnFishTV]

Personally, I never use braid to fluro on a baitcaster. It would work fine but I prefer straight fluro for my jig and flippn setups. I do use braid to fluro on my spinning setups tho

[@LMBOUTLAW]

@@GunnFishTVThanks

[@chriscurtis8577]

It is cold up here where are you doing in North buckeye still keeping track of your channel when you are also I can get better details did you give me I do the same thing you do

[@texasbassin614]

For the money, the bitsy flip is second to none. It catches big fish and costs around 2 bucks..The bait keeper isn't the best but is serviceable. ..I've switched to the dirty jigs compact pitching jigs these days. Pair it up with a Zman Hella Crawz and you can fish the same trailer all day. The wire bait keeper really keeps the hella craw secure. No bluegills are going to pull the legs off the elaztech craw.

[@GunnFishTV]

The Bitsy Flip is definitely a classic!! I've caught more fish on that thing than any other jig made!

[@chriscurtis8577]

Who are my favorite big bass fisherman on a truck at you
