Jigs and trailers can be used year-round to mostly catch big fish. You can almost guarantee that every bite will be a quality catch!
These different jig techniques are extremely fun and easy to execute. The most effective bait to use is our all-new Fresh Cray Craws…
Made from non-salted plastic for durability and to provide life-like action! The superior 3.75-inch Crayfish profile is a known food source that BIG FISH can’t resist… Making it perfect for jig fishing!
All you do is cast out, let your bait sink some, and swim it back. Basically, just a spinnerbait without the blades, but you must fish them both the same way. Cast into weeds, weed lines, cover, on a shelf, under or next to a structure, and even around tree stumps. These are the best spots to find fish patrolling.
With this technique, all you really want to do is keep hopping your jig back to you. Generally want to hop 3 times in a row and pause for ten to fifteen seconds. Repeat this process until you catch a monster! Don’t cast in the open either… Toss into large grass areas, trees, or even under docks when you’re football jigging.
This one can be a bit tricky at times, but you can easily get the hang of it with some practice. Mostly want to use this strategy during pre-spawn all the way through post-spawn. A lot of times you’ll have the fish in a bed just staring right at your jig with no reaction. That’s when you take the jig and whack it off the bottom making a nice vibration that entices the fish to react quickly with a bite. Make sure you practice this beforehand because it won’t work if it hits the bottom too soft.
Keep in mind that most areas will have submerged weeds and rocks that will tear up your line so we always prefer using a braided line. You’ll want to use a fifty-pound line with a twenty-pound leader that is just about twenty inches long. We like to pair that with a seven-foot all-purpose rod and a bait caster reel that has a 6:4:1 gear ratio.
We hope that these techniques provided were useful to you and can better help you catch more fish! Any questions about rigging a jig? Visit our Youtube where you can find tutorials and fishing content!
