The Only 2 Jig's You Need For Winter Bass

[@brianhershberger4429]

Thanks for describing the timing of lead vs. tungsten. It made so much sense after you explained it. Also I never know the difference in skirts, that was really interesting! As always I learned a ton and YOU my friend ROCK!!!!!

[@BassGeek]

Thank you sir. I am here to help.

[@SalDesignMan]

Man I just love the way u always explain everything in detail it had made my skill level change dramatically. Thanks BassGeek!!!

[@BassGeek]

Thank you sir. I feel like I leave out a bunch of stuff. hahahaha

[@chadtindell4388]

Wow I love it !! I just got my jig setup for winter and I love your videos I can’t wait to get to talk to you at the East Tennessee fishing show!!! You rock

[@BassGeek]

[@tonebassin2571]

[@BassGeek]

[@DownToFish]

Last few videos of mine that’s all I’ve used to catch them on. 3/4 oz football jig does the trick in the winter time for me in middle Tennessee Thanks for dropping that knowledge BG!

[@BassGeek]

Dude that's the ticket right there! Great job and I'll need to check those video's out!

[@michaelloucks4448]

Nice video geek , love jigs an right now it’s on bait , Iv watched for a few years an never seen ya talk about drop shot it’s also a great winter time an tough summer application ty for another good video.

[@BassGeek]

I like the drop shot for vertical fishing but me and the shot don't get a long.

[@migflofish2743]

Great stuff! Your tips helped my jig game a ton!

[@BassGeek]

Awesome happy I could help!

[@smokin_sam]

That's part of my game I need to work on. I've caught fish on a jig but not with confidence. Thank you for the info

[@BassGeek]

Anytime.

Coming soon. I use them in the summer more so it will probably be around that time.

Happy New year man.

[@ronaldhowell4146]

I don't want to sound cheap, kids had good Christmas so I'm happy, what is the best bait caster for around say $50-$80?

[@BassGeek]

I would check the new Lew's out and the Piscifun.

Sorry about the slow fishing. Keep grinding on'em.

Light line always for me .. supper clear water seems to get better bites ...only exception is deep diving crankbaits..dont want to loose them ..

Thanks!

[@davidsedlacek3855]

Real good stuff..thanks Hank!

[@BassGeek]

Thanks sir.

[@greenpighunter6930]

Nice. Gonna try that slow retrieve with the finesse jig on a spinning reel. I've been catching them on the Z-man Crawz slow dragging it. So they're targeting the small craws for sure.

[@BassGeek]

Awesome man. I love how you broke that down!

[@upstateangler9575]

Love throwing a jig . I would everytime out if that is what the fish wanted . Most people like power fishing I enjoy dragging a jig or a shaky head . Idk why just my thing . Nice tips hope you have a great New Years

[@BassGeek]

That's what make the works go round. Different things for everyone.

[@Retro-2-now]

Great information as always brother

[@BassGeek]

Thank you sir.

[@keithdatrucker3061]

I agree ..95% of time I use football jig year round..and will try the tungsten..cuz never really thought about it .

[@BassGeek]

Lot's of people are going straight tungsten but lead because of it's size has it's time and place.

[@bafishing8796]

AWESOME VIDEO BUDDY. I ALSO LIKE USING THE STRIKE KING GRUB MENNUS OR A TWINTAIL FAT ALBERT GRUB. THEY ARE GREAT HERE TO USE IN THE WINTER TIME.

[@BassGeek]

I like it man. I love that thing for a lot of presentation.

[@alvinwine5665]

That's a beautiful area your fishing nothing like that here in Florida there are some bypass canals with rocks big rocks but it's mostly soft bottom and weeds n brush I'm fishing

[@BassGeek]

Yeah man it's a whole different world down there. You guys would still need to be flipping a jig mostly. hahaha

[@dannyyork3742]

Geek i am a firm beliver in rod sleves my rods don't leave my basement without one! Like you I'm not rich my money is hard earned! I'm a concrete finsher 20+ years so i got tired of breaking tips and busting eyes. Rod sleves are the deal haven't broke a eye or tip in. 3 years. And i do alot bank fishing and walking through bushes and the woods.

[@BassGeek]

They have made me a believer! Thank you for the comment and being part of the #BassGeekNation Thank you.

[@kcbennie]

On the spinning setup, could you use 10lb braid with a 6 or 7 foot, 10lb fluorocarbon leader? Or could you go straight 10lb braid if you color a few feet black with a sharpie?

[@BassGeek]

I would use and do use Fl as a leader. If your in muddy water no need for Fl but if you've got 2ft of vis leader all the way.

[@gregphelps1989]

Thanks for the info.. I do prefer the tungsten

[@BassGeek]

At times I do for sure.

[@Austin_Torres]

I’m using Berkley trailers and Yamamotos great holiday sales.

[@BassGeek]

Can't beat a sale on good baits.

[@guywithagoprofishingshow3011]

yo Hank,another gr8 episode(as always)-its a GRIND here in west by god..i got my ass handed to me saturday on my buddies Nitro.he got 2 giant smallies on the A rig and I got skunked.best believe I came home and ordered me a Flash Mob!!!(lol)

[@BassGeek]

hahaha That's funny I went out and caught them on an arig. Didn't do great but that's what worked.

[@computerguy1724]

Really nice video. For years, I have been throwing an All-Terrain Rock Jig/5" Hula Grub combo. BUT, I gotta tell you I recently switched to a Strike King Bitsy FLIP jig/Zoom Speed Craw. I'm telling you I have caught nothing buy WHALES on this combo. Give it a shot. I had a tourney this past Saturday and lost probably and 6-7#er. It was a LUNKER tourney and I lost sleep over not being able to weigh this fish in. A 6.00# won. Dang, would have been close. Good fishin'....

[@BassGeek]

Dang I would say so! Nice combo.

[@computerguy1724]

Give it a shot if you get a chance. Be sure to buy the SK Bitsy FLIP the hook is amazingly different. It is a beautiful combo. I tossed out on a rock rubble bank with a slight shoreline bump out and work it down to about 22fow when I felt a rock and walked it over and as the jig fell I felt her slam it and my line just started pulling away from me. I set the hook and fought her for about 20 seconds. My partner had the net and I looked down about 8 feet and saw her roll....brother, she was an absolute MULE. Have to admit it threw me off for the rest of the day. Water temp was 41deg.

[@N5KDA]

What would you use on mud bottom with lots of wood? I've been throwing the 6th Sense swim jigs because the way the head is made they will stand up. Also, going tomorrow to get my new to me boat !!!

[@BassGeek]

What type of wood. Standing timber, brush piles? That's when I go the arkie style jig.

[@N5KDA]

@@BassGeek Brush piles, a little standing timber and lots of stumps. The lake was made by damning up two small creels that went through a very wooded area. There are lots of stumps and tree tops that were left after the area was logged. When I say a ton of wood, we are talking about a lure eater. However, its where the last two state records came from. Now the slot is 18 - 22 inches. Current record is 18.15 and during an electrical survey one larger than that was tagged. let me get the boat set up and I'll take you out.

[@N5KDA]

@Stoney Lonsome I try to stay just off the bottom by using 1/2 ounce swim jigs with trailers. I bump the bottom a little just to know I'm close to bottom. It still causes me to fish a little faster than I like. I do under spins the same way.

[@robertbrost7777]

Hey Hank. Happy New Year to ya! Question, if I'm fishing a small to medium pond/lake and, I begin with a jig, and they aren't interested, have I blown up the whole lake/pond for that session? Say they want a finesse TRD or small worm/tube/grub? Have I blown my chance to catch those fish by scaring them away with the first lure? I feel like if I don't choose the right lure, the lure they want, right off the bat the fish know I'm there and it's over. Thanks bud! BTW, passing on that expo. Too far for an expo plus, it's part salt water too. Not my gig. LOL

[@BassGeek]

Check out the Knoxville expo it might be closer and it's a massive bass fishing expo. No you have not blown the bass out. You may have moved them. They may follow a bait can come off a spot but they will generally go back. Make a few casts to a spot change baits and repeat. Move for a few minutes say 30min. and then try a new bait on that spot. It's like a follow up bait when we are frogg'n or even when I'm running a swimbait through a school. They may not want the big swimbait they may want a small jig.

[@robertbrost7777]

@@BassGeek Thanks. And Knoxville is even further from NJ. But, if it's a Bass fishing expo, then that's up my alley. Gonna have to look that one up.

[@robertbrost7777]

i wondered when the football head was best thanks for clearing that up. i was sitting here watching with my dark blue bassgeek shirt on how bout that.do have a question does the tutu( that's what my wife calls them) material or what ever it 's called make that much difference? Or is it just a sales pitch.

[@BassGeek]

Ehhh Like I said I'm a silicon rubber (which is what most are made of) is what I like. Living rubber has more movement but isn't as full.

[@Don-jf3pm]

Sorry I didn't mean to ask something you already answered, my wife tried to tell me, but I have severe hearing loss hearing aids help some, but if a louder noise happens they just kind of grab on to that and our door bell rang then. Again I apologize for asking something already stated.
