Want to catch bigger bass this Spring? Tired of the same old results when you go to the lake? On average, a jig catches bigger bass than most other lures. Some anglers shy away from jigs because they believe they get less bites. Understanding how to apply the jig to your fishing is critical! Not all jigs are created equal, they came in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and colors and each has a purpose. Today Matt explains the best jig styles for spring bass fishing and how to adapt your trailers and colors to get more bites from big bass this Spring.
Choosing the right jig for a clear water lake is completely different than choosing one for murky water. Choosing one for big largemouth is different than choosing an offering for smallmouth. Come along as we teach the subtle differences that will seriously increase your catch rates! Jig fishing is one of the most fun ways to catch a bass. They catch both numbers and BIG bass once you’ve find tuned your method.
Today’s video is all about simplification and building confidence. Identify the type of lake you’re fishing then focus on the right style of jigs for that environment. Below is a breakdown of our favorite jigs for different conditions along with our favorite colors, trailers, and jig fishing gear.
