I like watching your videos you explain things very thoroughly I send them to my son Dylan who fishes on the college team at ULM Warhawks . He’s fishing The lake of the pines in Texas some next week. I’m hoping this will help him to a win . Thank for you for time and content.
Man I just can't catch any on a jig this time of year on the Coosa, it's all been 3.8 keitech and old spittin images. Recently acquired a box full of original spittin images brand new and been smoking them on them, I think it's because they ain't seen them since the 90s
As always Kyle you and Hunter have put out another great video ! I would like to hear about your line selection as we go into the winter months . Go Team Welcher !
Alot of times when a bass is that thin, if you look in their gullet, you'll find they've swallowed a plastic worm and are starving to death, thinking they're full. 🥺
@@shadygraves yes I agree. I've caught big small mouth with a curley tail grub coming halfway out of their rectum. I'm 58 been fishing for 40 years from Connecticut to Florida, now in Alabama
Would like more jig videos. We are catching bunches on Zoom Speed Craws with 1/4 oz sinkers. Also War Eagle s/B's white with gold Colorado's and 1/4 oz white jackhammer with Zoom Split Tail trailers. Kentucky's and blacks in 6" to 2 ft deep in the dirt. I keep trying to catch them on a jig but it's not happening. Do you have any explanation?
Hey Kyle, great content! Do you find rattles have any impact on your winter/early early spring jigs? or is it water clarity thing just like the color choices you showed?
I've bought probably 40 of the ace jigs and those things are bulletproof. I think I've only broke one off. They come thru about everything. It's a dam good jig bud
Keep the winter jig videos coming guys. Been whacking them for decades on a simple jig in fall and winter. May have to try that jig, looks like it had a nice compact profile
Frodin flies 'Butterfly' tubes, various lengths for late season working as water draws down. And you might think bass would gravitate to certain size, profile or color. It's a wide profile lure designed to give action in the slower moving river pools (where fish might be feeding up). It's hard to get a profile that slims down and expands to the same extent, as it moves along. There's a Willie Gunn tube that Mikael showed a while ago.
@@KyleWelcher The tube is a slim model, they're either tungsten or brass (I think he does them in both). I forget which tube the 'butterfly' series were constructed on. I'm almost certain from memory that it was the one with the 'round' shape to the back. That's intended to house the trailer and hook which butts up against that part, and still enable free movement. You may have to peg the tube in front with a bobber-stopper. The point is though, you could go from an ordinary soft plastic and hook behind, to a Texas weight in front. And in front of the Texas weight, narrow down the profile in front of that again (where the butterfly would be positioned for most articulation and action). In some instances the weight of the plastic on hook and the butterfly itself as a system would be heavy enough to pitch in shallow water.
If you look at the designs you'll see what I mean. You're taking a plastic that is already a slim profile. And you're adding an extra dimension to that plastic by having this horizontal element as part of it. That is the butterfly. You wouldn't put the weight in front of the butterfly though. Mikael explained he was using his vacuum clear in the pandemic. To vacuum these discards from his manufacturing process. And he had a light bulb moment of how to use an off-cut to his production line. That he could never find a use for before. What the butterfly would do is to alter both the side profile and bottom profile of the plastic worm or trailer. Without going absolutely full bore. To the point at which you've got the fast diving tungsten head, of the normal jig lure. Mikael's coneheads are made out of tungsten in front, and here's another tungsten component against which all of the material sits against (and that rear tungsten cone butts against the trailer behind). So there is significant weight built into what is a very diminutive lure.
I put some of these in front of EWG hooks and things last September. Just to test it out and I was pleasantly surprised by it. We never use the Texas rigging approach in angling for trout or salmon. What impressed me with that rigging system, was how one could stack various things together. To create a lot of different profiles and shapes. As well as color combinations. Out of very little.
Dear lord you ripped the soul outta that first squeaker.
First thump of the day gets busted
Hooksets are free, if you're gonna swing swing hard! 🤣😂
Well I know Mrs Hunter is posting this because Kyle just left my shop 15 min ago 😂
She’s working hard behind the scenes
@@KyleWelcher oh I know. #powercouple
“does rubber matter”
i saw that smirk loll
Yup. I caught it too😂
What's the trailer your using or what's your trailer of choice?
It varies all the time. Anything that looks like a craw. I always am changing it up

No electronics. No 80k boat. No 40 boxes of baits. No nonsense. #justdontsuck #teamwelcher
You don’t need it all. Just got to not suck
Great selection of baits keeping it simple 👌 Great video 📹 Thank you for sharing 👍

Bringing out an old secret
@@KyleWelcher trying to, with all the pressure these days you have to do something
As always Kyle you and Hunter have put out another great video ! I would like to hear about your line selection as we go into the winter months . Go Team Welcher !
I heard you mention an Eviction Jig, where can I find that jig? Does Untamed Tackle make it?
Yes it’s untamed tackle
Great video thanks for the tips.
I sleep with that Ace Jig under my pillow. Always have one on my deck, always…..
Always on deck
Please do the no janky jig t shirt I’ll be the first customer I’ve got buddies that use some for real janky ones
I definitely will
rung that dinner bell!! lol
Hey Kyle.....Man I enjoy all of your Videos.....they are Fantastic !!!
4 lb head , two pound body.

Put some ORANGE on that chunk! That orange Zoom marker is gold!!!
Hey Kyle, great content! Do you find rattles have any impact on your winter/early early spring jigs? or is it water clarity thing just like the color choices you showed?
I went ahead and dropped a like at the beginning during the ad based on the video cover pic. 🤙now on to the vid
Thank you!
"Should I open up that box and show it to yall" Does a bear sh!t in the woods? "Yes, it does"
That’s right. I should have known
Do you spray garlic on your jigs. Or do you put any kind of scent attract it on them thanks
I do not
I've bought probably 40 of the ace jigs and those things are bulletproof. I think I've only broke one off. They come thru about everything. It's a dam good jig bud
Do you guide any
Keep the winter jig videos coming guys. Been whacking them for decades on a simple jig in fall and winter. May have to try that jig, looks like it had a nice compact profile
Dang son, it's been in the 40's for the last couple of weeks here in Chicago aka Chiraq. I stop fishing when the ice moves in.
Love me an ace jig!! Team welcher! From missouri
It’s the best
Nice man I cannot commit to throw a jig or swim jig like you man...!
absolutely becoming one of my favorites. keep up the awesome work dude.
How u rig your chunk fat side up or down on jig
Fat side down
Yes please
Caught most of my really big ones on crappie color.
Do you like the live forever skirt or the silicone skirt better?
Do you mostly thread your chunk on? And what chunks are those?
👍🎣
true bass nerd cant even make a vid without casting lol love it
Literally rang the dinner bell on that biggun
Whats in the box!!!?
That’s right
Nice and simple to understand 👍
Awesome!
Thanks for the video bud
How many rods do you have in total Kyle?
Way to many
@@KyleWelcher lol
Awesome video guys!
Don't fall in. Nice bass
The ace jig catches me.
Catches everything
Have you ever tried another approach to jigs, Texas rigs and trailers?

I never really have tried it but I’ll definitely check it out
