Surface Iron 101 How to pick a jig that will swim good

[@davidvolbeda7900]

Jigs, on jigs, on jigs!!! This is obviously pre-COVID! Wish our tackle stores were stocked that well right now 😞

[@patrickduncanjr.6847]

Only and best video on So Cal Surface irons........Well Done!

[@justincharlesstaley-titzel6882]

ill never look at a jig the same way again, awesome video, you really know your stuff, after i saw this, instant subscriber!

[@TheJwhollis]

Been looking for video information on basic jig criteria. THANKS for delivering on this one !!!!! Great stuff...

[@52Pablo]

Very informative. I test my jigs. Time to modify a few of them.

[@MadSmokerBBQ]

Man its good to find someone who knows their stuff. Thanks. Subbed.

[@Scottcrating1]

Great video! Very informative . Thanks and keep up the videos.

[@jonrx007]

Thank you for posting, I'll check out baja fish too. I have always checked for a big booty on a jig.

[@venturarealestate9918]

Great info! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheFishingfreak12]

Nice video! So good jigs have centered hips or off-centered???

[@seanallen4655]

Good to see Jake has a career after "2 and a Half Men"

[@badbass94]

I agree with hmlanding, I have a saltist 50 and an 8 jig stick. Don't buy an avet for casting or any lever drag for that matter.

[@brianhanel6897]

A bare aluminum jig works pretty damn good most of the time and 2ft of wire ( single strand) helps with the action

[@mrmidnight32]

I'm hitting Clemente this weekend. Capt suggested orange and red yoyo's for YT. What would you reccomend? You said go with passive colors like green, bird shit and blue. He said all neon and brights. I know you covered a lot of fishing styles. Is yoyoing different? Also I think they are throwing out anchovi for the day. Much appreciated. First charter trip.

[@GetBitSportfishing]

In my opinion, the yoyo is a lot easier. Usually I use a scrambled egg pattern, if the yellows are on the red crabs, I like to go with anything red or brown. Currently the YT out there are stuffing themselves full of those red crabs, so I would have a few red/orange red crab type jigs. I'm still doing pretty good on the scrambled egg though. I'll be out there this weekend too on the Fortune. Good luck!

[@blackfishblackfish]

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheSuperDrummyDude50]

ive had really good luck with the scrambled egg in so cal.... outta san diego

[@t-bagmcgee5274]

What size wait jig do you use for surface fishing? Thanks

[@733jigcaster6]

Well then you did pretty much cover it offset hole and hips I always look for any other imperfections I always clean out the whole get the paint out of there I also like to clean out the hole for the treble hook just so when The jig kicks the hooks wings cleanly good fishing to you

[@johnechterhoff4791]

Are those jigs metal, ceramic and are they painted using brush, powder coated or air-brushed? I know...Great Question!!

[@SupraStringing11b]

They are metal

[@Darksagan]

Excellent video.

[@echo1er]

cool video. What kind of rod and reel should I use with the jig. I want to get a avet sx.

[@GetBitSportfishing]

@sdfish02 I'm down to show you how its done. Come on down to the Q105 when we run our next trip, ill be working the deck. You don't even have to bring ur rod, I got 3 ULUA 10 footers on the boat. Just bring your best jig. make sure to spin in!

[@Pincheemoska]

Thanks!! Great video

[@GetBitSportfishing]

I agree as well. I run a saltist 40 on a 10 foot ulua

[@jesmineryckman3157]

do you think a 4.5 ounce jig would be good for 100-200 feet depth?

[@THETERPZ]

Got me, the color doesn’t matter, unless it’s calico bass. The way you can make the jig swim is everything. Not everyone can make a jig swim as it should.

[@colecrandall8055]

How do u jam a screw driver in the hole if the ring is in there?

[@mosin9105]

Thanks

[@TheCabrillaloca]

awesome !! thank you

[@GetBitSportfishing]

we have a video coming out soon on what rods and reels go best with jig fishing. stick around!

[@so.callife]

New sub,you know your shit...so much in this video i was clueless about.Thanx!

[@ltadokoro]

Hey great stuff yo! Dont see too much about irons.. So this is cool stuff. I dig Tady's,KJ, UFO pro lites, Starman and Candy Bars but Salas has always been great producers.Been out of the loop for soo long I miss it bad. Looking forward to more vids! 90J 338 Newell ! Local Gear!!!

[@evan86321]

How much top shot do you run, and does floro make a difference? Thanks

[@jessehernandez5043]

Evan Schrecongost really depends. Ive caught them on straight braid, mono, and flouro. Tuna care more than yellows typically but sonetimes yellows are picky too.

[@kenny7469]

3 to4 feet topshot is enough for these jigs, and thats for extra caution, just in case the fishes are super picky. Usually it doesn’t matter. I would use chrome or bright color for yoyo, make it more visible in the deep

[@avqc954]

Interesting thanks

[@hihoian]

Woah I go to this shop!

[@Taylor_in_Southern_Oregon]

LOL Wello done, great vid thanks

[@havendinh1639]

Will a 7 ft rod be a good rod to toss the iron.?

[@mocruz1200]

i like to use an 8 ft rod minimum. fishing in mexico, the boils show up and leave extremely quickly, so having the extra range makes a big difference

[@gliblyaware]

I've always looked for an off-center hole. That said, you really never know how a jig will swim until you fish it.

[@Inshoreangler-ps6mw]

I own a torium 16hg, you think i can use it for surface iron fishing?, if so what rod can i buy?

[@jamestumolva1818]

Inshoreangler1301 any glass/parabolic 8--10 foot rod

[@jessehernandez5043]

Calstar grafighter 800m or 800ml

[@GetBitSportfishing]

Thanks! We have more vids coming soon. If you have any questions or fishing topics that you would like to see discussed, feel free to ask since we are starting a QandA. Tight lines!

[@christiandelapaz5685]

What store is that???

[@echo1er]

okay I'm going to sub.

[@GetBitSportfishing]

No problem. more videos on jig fishing will be coming shortly. Thank you for watching!

[@mexicanamerican21]

[@hmlanding]

saltist 40 and calstar 90J don't but an avet

[@pamelabennett8815]

Go sit down some were my son there all the same you'll see if it's a faulty one

[@ap4802]

He said back hole...

[@mikebarachkov1158]

You've got the basic idea of picking a good swimming iron....

[@IIrandhandleII]

Swim well *

[@sdfish02]

come on down to san diego with your long rod and we will see who catch more fish.

[@winningman1]

[@captainobvious3317]
