I enjoyed and was informed on a freezing morning at the coast. I have been fishing soft plastics for years in a helter-skelter fashion. I so enjoy putting an order to chaos. Ha

[@cleanfunfishing]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video troy!

[@comfortablynumb9342]

As an old Florida man that grew up fishin' I have to say that this is a well done video. This information is really good for new anglers. Half way in I doubt I'll learn much but if you haven't fished all your life you should pay attention because this is a pretty good explanation. You definitely need to pay attention to the weight of the head on a jig, but also the length of the hook and the hook gap is very important.

[@cleanfunfishing]

Thank you. I appreciate that!

[@Texarican1]

Dang Justin there’s a science to how to set up lures I’ve been setting mine up wrong the whole time. Thank you for taking the time to explain it. Great video.

[@cleanfunfishing]

Thanks Will. As long as your getting good hook sets, then it's not wrong but if you set and the rod bends for a few seconds and then lose the fish immediately, it could be the way it's rigged. Tight lines buddy!

[@proflewis7066]

I needed this tutorial! I walked into the tackle shop the other day and to say I was overwhelmed with options is an understatement!

[@cleanfunfishing]

I know that feeling. I'm glad the video was helpful

[@nealhagood6792]

Every time I get to Rockport, even after 20 years, I go to TackleTown and get overwhelmed! But I keep going anyway & I keep finding SOMETHING I gotta have! Hi, My name is Neal & I may have a Tackle problem!😵‍💫😄

[@cleanfunfishing]

@@nealhagood6792 Lol, me too man!

[@nitrosanity]

Been keeping up with the channel for a couple months now. Just wanted to say thank you for posting up this oldie but a goodie! Makes a lot of sense and explained perfectly. Tossing in your own experience helps a ton! Been fishing Port Mansfield my whole life and just starting to get serious with lures. Hope to book a trip with you one day!

[@cleanfunfishing]

I'm glad it was a helpful video. I appreciate you watching and for the support! 👍

[@johnd2594]

Thank you for the tips Justin. I am one of those who has purchased a vast array of baits and hooks without knowing how to best use them.

[@cleanfunfishing]

You're welcome John! That's ok, we all have done the same 😁

Thanks Grant! I'm glad it was helpful man!

[@rugged4716]

Thanks for the tips!!!

[@cleanfunfishing]

You bet!

[@nealhagood6792]

Justin, Nice jig & hook discussion! I have a tip that could help- give it a try! On those jigheads that have the 2 vertical 'teeth' , when you thread it on, just before you shove it over the teeth, turn your plastic 90*, shove it on then turn it back to normal position. the gouges in the plastic are on the sides and the teeth are locked behind solid plastic- so the lure will have to pull off through the fresh untorn plastic. They stay on much better & longer. It is very quick, just a twist of lure, shove on & twist back. I hope this helps in the knowledge arsenal! Tight lines my friend!

[@cleanfunfishing]

Thanks Neal, I will try that out man!

[@jerrykrobby]

Awesome video!

[@cleanfunfishing]

Thank you Jerry!

[@rgec58]

Good info.

[@cleanfunfishing]

I'm glad it was helpful Wayne!

[@ulydoingthings]

Thanks for simplifying all this. Seems like we over complicate the small stuff to often

[@cleanfunfishing]

You're welcome. I'm glad it was helpful

[@Conservative01]

Thanks for this video. I’ve done the same thing buying all these different brands and it’s difficult to figure what’s the correct jig head to use.

[@cleanfunfishing]

You're welcome! I'm glad it was helpful

[@gutzfishing7853]

Where did you get those 1/0 1/8oz weedless hooks. Been looking for some without a spinner for a while

[@reidharrison2152]

Justin do you tie straight to your line or you always use a liter line tied on ?

[@cleanfunfishing]

I don't use leader line for soft plastics. Straight to braid. Nothing wrong with using leader line though if you like

[@cleanfunfishing]

Some of the jig heads do have the hook size but some do not.

Far less snags with a smaller lure in shallow water, even up here where I am it is the same game.
