Microfishing at my favorite pond

Loved the music. Especially the sad ones. 😢 You should do some voice overs explaining little tidbits here and there. So those of us uneducated fans know the significance of your technique.

Hi , I am a beginner. Can I ask you a question? Can you tell me how to choose the jighead weight?

I would love to! Summary: Not too heavy and not too light, an easy way to check is just matching a jig head that looks like it could fit on the soft plastic if it was a real animal, and with the hook sticking out 1/2 to 2/3 down the body. Make sure the jig doesn’t distort the soft plastic in any way and try to hook it as perfectly as possible every time for the best action. Long version: It depends on what lure you’re using, if it’s something with a specialized tail movement like a ‘curly tail’ or a ‘paddle tail’, your weight needs to be heavy enough for it to weigh the lure down so the tail can move nicely. A too heavy of a jig head will make it go too fast and ruin the point of having that specialized movement. You want your jig head to be heavy enough to make the tail move well, but not light enough to where it looks like a piece of plastic drifting down. You’re going to want the hook to be sticking out about 2/3 down the body, (this is a personal preference but I find fish bite the back half of the lures most of the time). I wouldn’t stress that part too much, just make sure the jig head looks like it would fit on the soft plastic as if it was a real animal so it looks natural as possible, and that the hook is sticking out at least a little tiny bit past 1/3 of the body. Try to avoid distorting the shape of the soft plastic as well, like if the jig head has a piece off the back that pushes in that it isn’t so big that it rips the lure. Try to rig it as straight as you can as well because it affects how the lure moves in the water. This is a lot of info and I think I may just have to make a video for you lmao and sorry for the essay but this should put you in a good place. Feel free to ask as many questions as you like, I’m always happy to answer
