You boys may be the BEST Salesmen in the Tackle Universe 😜 and I say that with Total Respect ✊ Hiroshi Nishine is an artist and I am glad you’ve found his jigs, he has some very unique products like his Namazu ( soft plastic) and Abino110 🤩 Happy Holidays 🙏☮️
Espresso and TB in the morning before work. Kinda makes me want to quit my job. You guys taught me how to fish. Thanks. Even the buyers guides are teaching me how to fish. Nobody does it quite so well. Some do well on specifics but never cover the spectrum.
Hey guys, thanks for pointing out that micro jigs benefit from fine cut skirt material. I consider 1/8 and less a micro jig. Regular skirt material does not move correctly with jigs that light. The Japanese and a couple U.S. manufacturers have figured this out. There still is a big difference between the rods used in Japan (shorter, lighter) and the U.S. but that's a personal choice. Thanks for another great video.
Swim jig fishing is my favorite way to fish. Caught my 4 largest Bass on jigs. Just now getting into finesse jigs. I have a 6’10” Med/Fast rod that I use and its super fun.
Power on Power! And light's out Tim. Love the jig selection 👌. Matt always has the California swim jig cracking em out,and boat flip boogie!love the Flippin vids too!
The best jigs that I found are my home made hand tied ones. They cost me less than $1 to make and I tie on whatever skirt colors I want. And when I lose it (I fish deep rocky lakes), it won't cost me and arm and a leg.
I have learned a ton about jig fishing from watching your videos, I have been hammering the bass with the tour level and compact pitching jigs, the go to color is my confidence color!
Yeah buddy! I'm a jig nut. I see another huge T.W. purchase coming after work today 😂😂😂 can't wait to pair some of these up with my Braillist l got on black Friday!
Been getting some big ones on micro jigs In last 2 weeks.that was the best jig ,this is what you need to throw show ever done.such a tuff category of baits.great job.got 3 on micros last week.
As always, another quality video guys! Fortunately, I listened to you last year and in any jig vids since so I already have most of these in my Edge Jig Box. 😀👍🏼. Looking forward to the next one.
Once again, another great video that gets me pumped up for spring. The only thing that I missed was my favorite jig in your lineup. Like you guys, I’m a tackle junky too. Really appreciate and support your channel when I can. Love to send you a couple jigs and get your valued opinion.
Since you guys taught me so much about jigs I feel obligated to share this information with you. During the shad spawn a swim jig with a menace on the back can be absolutely deadly. Think dead action spinnerbait. During the shad spawn actively feeding bass are going to feed looking up. With the menace you can keep the bait balanced and up in the water column without burning it. The magic of this bait is that you can literally throw it across the highway and never have to worry about it getting stuck. If you really wanna fine tune it you can tie a living rubber skirt to give the jig even more lift. If you put a traditional swimbait trailer on it, it’s gonna wanna roll and stall down in the water column. The first time you cast it out you’re gonna look at the action in the water and think it looks so dumb it’ll never work. But I promise you it will out fish anything when the shad are spawning in heavy cover. If you don’t believe me watch Day 1 of the Classic last year and watch Steve Kennedy. It flat out works.
Thank guys, I will do my part sticking em here on Clearlake for us but nothing like the pair of you. Hope to see you in our neck of the woods for a session.
Another good one guys! I was a Dirty Jig guy for several years. I have since switched up to Picasso Tungsten football and the little spotty. I love the tungsten heads. Compact size and what I interpret as better feel of the bottom. Quality hook and hook keeper as well. I’m still sporting the dirty jigs though in 1/2 oz size.
Been watching you guys for a year, from the first video I watched I caught more fish, and to today where I normally catch at least 5 fish each trip, you guys are the best! Also I’m from San Diego, home of 20 of the 25 biggest largemouth caught, would love to see you guys do a trip out here next year!
Great video; I have a question; have you seen any issues with the ZMan trailers with the Keitech Jig skirts? Since I first watched your reviews on ZMan products, I am very careful in mixing ZMan with any other product.
I've never had an issue with the elaztec not mixing with any skirt material. You'll run in to problems if you store the elaztec with any other soft plastics.
Have you guys checked out the Dobyns Football Jigs? There’s a few different ones but they all seem great. They have a 4 pronged keeper, hand tied skirts, r ex eased line tie, and a mix of silicone and living rubber skirts. They also are only $3.99 and if you buy a 3 pack it’s only $9.99 give or take a little depending on the version and size you get. Not trying to sell a product it’s just been an amazing jig this year for me.
The gambler ez is killer, if you haven’t tried the gambler heavy cover swim jig it has a star flash skirt that makes it puff out more. they also make the EZ vibes swim bait that goes great on a swim jig
Awesome I need all the advice I can get on jigs because I recently dedicated 90% of my fishing time to jig fishing till I get confidence in a jig I suck at it right now
Watch Mikey ballz on how to fish a jig. His confidence comes in wacky rigging a football jig over brush piles.and w all things start w a small jig bite first. I still have not gotten bit on A full jig but 1 time.all others here were on the small finesse cut w craw trailers. Up in the crummy nw factor...where I live.
@@mattthomen1608 thanks I definitely check it out I actually lost about a 3 pounder on Friday afternoon on a swim jig I thought I was hung and didn't get a hookset so it spit the hook right at the bank it hit it right close to me on the bank so I saw it turn spit and run smh
@@6cwl9 you'll get the feel for it.and it's different for all bites.sounds like the shore was getting your jig pinned down. Awsome! Some times they get off. Darn weed guard ,or balled up plastic...
@@mattthomen1608 I was fishing from the bank and at that spot there's some roots about 3ft from shore that I bump all the time it's in about 2ft of water so I don't know if it followed it in or was sitting there I wasn't ready for it is all I know I was in that going through the motions mindset since I hadn't been having any luck lately. Mental error it did give me hope though
Just got into jigs earlier this year and I'm hooked 🤪 Anyway, I got lucky and found the best jig rod for sale, used, and that has been my favorite way to fish my local ponds lately. HUGE bites!!
Great video as always guys, would you consider the 854 capable of throwing 1/2oz pitching jigs with a trailer? If you're not needing to cast super far distances, is there any advantage of the 894 over the 854?
Is there a jig type and weight you'd recommend for us northern guys who fish backwoods weedy gunky bottom lakes . Most are private access no motor boats on them at all.
I have a question that I am struggling with the first question is when do you move from using a care trailer and start using a swimbait trailer my second question is my water temp is under 50 degrees I mostly use an archy style 1/2 oz jig but I am looking for a good cold water setup eg: trailer thanks for the help
Reaction innovations has the best names, tramp stamp is another lol name. They had the best packaging too, naked chick's but it looked like camouflage.
What are some other things I could throw with that 7’5 medium heavy? Pretty much anything that’s not too heavy or too light? Just wondering what else does that rod do really good
Just about any 7'-7'3 MH rod will do the job. All brands are a little bit different on action and weight recommendations but thats about a standard jig and worm rod size.
I gotta move... how is there still beautiful sunshine and open water... here it's snowing and icing over.. gotta convince the wife that moving to the US just for an extended bass season is reasonable.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to hold off purchasing all of these things seeing as Tackle Warehouse had a breach and my credit card had to be closed after someone tried to by Crypto Currency with it. 😡 Shop Karl's... Here I come. 😂👍
@@tacticalbassin lol I have like 60 bags of them but I avoid using them even Ned rigs end up Wonky I really like those robo worms cuz they have that sandpaper material thread on easy and nobody beats those colors
St Croix Avid X for heavy jigging and a mojo bass for light to medium jig weight both 7 foot I get a fish too bite he does NOT come off great prices and great costumer service I shot my mojo bass into my door broke the tip called st Croix the sent me a brand new one in the mail
I throw up to a 1/2 oz jig on a spinning rod. I have over a 95% land ratio and I grind them to the yak. Finesse is a myth . There should be a different way of breaking that down and to me its more to do with line size than the type of rod and reel you are using. Now I agree you should not pitch and flip with a spinning set up but if you have 6lb line on a BFS bc set up then are you (powerfishing)? I don't think so. This is all ego stuff. Me I have an ego too but mine starts and ends with getting fish to the boat also I would not go over a 1/2 oz on a spinning rod but if it is a whopping stick you can get it done but you will miss fish also. Any thanks so much TB fam I would not have the confidence I have with out yall. Got 3 big smallie just this week, 18, 18 & 1/2 and 19 & 1/2 River smallies talk about fun. Love that THUMP!
Love starting my day with a video from the goats. 🎣🐐🐐
The slx combo was a surprise. Thanks for the videos.

Just have fun love these guy
Thanks Guys for explaining the what AND the WHYS for each jig, trailer, and rods. Awesome, answers many questions!
We're happy to help 👍🏼

You guys should definitely check out the beast Coast OW sniper jig, and the Fitzgerald tungsten micro jig. Both I've used with great success

I love a jig. Great video, as usual guys.
Hi from South Dakota, 4 inches of snow on my deck this morning, no bass for me until April.🥶
Is there a jig type and weight you'd recommend for us northern guys who fish backwoods weedy gunky bottom lakes . Most are private access no motor boats on them at all.
The last combo with the 6”10 curado says MH but you mentioned M or ML in the video which makes more sense for micro jigs.
That 6'10" MH isn't the same as say, the 7'2" mh. It's perfect for 3/8 - 1/2 oz micro jigs. We blasted them last week with it as a matter of fact 👍🏼
what do you guys think about the live target hollow body jig?
You need to make a video on OLD HICKORY LAKE here in NASHVILLE.
Good morning from California
Mat Allen are you going to start guiding here in Tennessee? If so how would I go about making reservations?
My favorite lure
bought mini jigs gonna use um in the spring!
I have a question that I am struggling with the first question is when do you move from using a care trailer and start using a swimbait trailer my second question is my water temp is under 50 degrees I mostly use an archy style 1/2 oz jig but I am looking for a good cold water setup eg: trailer thanks for the help
Awesome review
Great breakdown guys! What is your swimjig combo?
Hey Matt do you still do guiding? And is it on lake chickamauga now?
Man they seriously have a beaver color called "dirty Sanchez" that's hilarious 🤣🤣👃👈
Reaction innovations has the best names, tramp stamp is another lol name. They had the best packaging too, naked chick's but it looked like camouflage.
Love the brallist but i can't keep them in one piece. I've broken 3!! X( going x bites on the replacement megabass is life.
Do you guys have any experience with the megabass p5 x bites if so is it strictly a bottom contact rod or will it also handle jig hook moving baits
really like the poison adrena m+ for the lighter jigs aswel, fishes similar to an mbr in my eyes.
I know the beaver style micro jig trailer gets bit!🤙
What are some other things I could throw with that 7’5 medium heavy? Pretty much anything that’s not too heavy or too light? Just wondering what else does that rod do really good
Just about any 7'-7'3 MH rod will do the job. All brands are a little bit different on action and weight recommendations but thats about a standard jig and worm rod size.
That rod is really universal. I use it for single hook swimbaits, spinnerbaits, non-bladed A rigs, Texas rigs, some topwater, etc..
Yes!!
I cant put my curado BFS setup with a ML 6'10" rod down for my finesse rite now in NJ it gets it done
I gotta move... how is there still beautiful sunshine and open water... here it's snowing and icing over.. gotta convince the wife that moving to the US just for an extended bass season is reasonable.
What about favorite hair jig and hair jig rod
Yeah, I'm gonna have to hold off purchasing all of these things seeing as Tackle Warehouse had a breach and my credit card had to be closed after someone tried to by Crypto Currency with it. 😡
Shop Karl's... Here I come. 😂👍
I like how at 10:05 he got quite like he was embarrassed to throw that jig on a spinning rod
HAVE YOU TRY THE LIL CREEPER FROM RIOT !?
Matt looking like Forrest Gump at the end of his run across the country.
tackle warehouse site is down
I wish that Dirty Jigs would put a No-Jack hook into a Football jig
I really wish someone would make a football with a muskie grade hook.
Don't sleep on Tightrope finesse jigs... Smallmouth colors. Great Lakes proven!
Getting jiggy with it. Dad joke 😬
I’ll never get how ppl get those TRD baits or ElaZTech onto hooks properly lol
Practice.
you have to pull the plastic down over the keeper.
😂 Practice for sure! And exagerrated movements. Really force the material into place.
