HAIR JIG FISHING for BASS!?!? EXPLAINED!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- Hair jig fishing for bass is an art form. It's a fishing technique you need to take time to learn the details of because you're basically fishing the lure in the ether column of the water - the middle of nowhere. Hair jigs are perfect for targeting finicky schools of fish as well as suspended bass that are elevated in the lake. It mimics shad and other bait fish that are known to dart and dive in the water. 3 keys you need to pay attention to when hair jig fishing are the action of fishing rod, fishing line size, and what depth the fish are focused in . Watch the video for all the details and hopefully to became a better hair jig angler!!!!

You're the best on the internet Mikey. I don't know where you fish, but it always seems you and Bog always have the lake to yourselves. I loaded up on hair jigs over the winter and will be throwing them a lot this year. I wanna be like you when I grow up
👊
Hair jigs are a go to. The best lure imitation of a bait fish imo.
Dude, love your tips & skill level. I have become one of your biggest fans ever since I found your channel. You are my knid of fisherman, like your videos. I have learned so much, thanks for all you do.
Bog is the Dog 🐕! Catching some hair lipped bass ! Nice video
My brother!! Beautiful topic, I watch tons of UA-cam bass fishing Channels and this is the best topic I’ve seen in a while. 👍🏼
Hair jigs, Deep Crankin and big Ned rigs and your in Florida!! Very cool going against the grain. Keep it reel!! Awesome!!
Looking to start throwing some hair jigs. Thanks for the tips! Awesome vid 😁👍
First time I heard about those hair jigs efficiency...I always pass by those products on internet but never considered to buy one as I usually go for poppers...but yeah , thx to you man , I'll try those hair jigs out and see how it goes 🙂🙂👏
Thx a lot for the detailed description...keep it up !
That hair jig bite is killer!
I love hair jigs. Kind of an overlooked secret bait I have. My 3 favorite are the Spro, Blakemore and Arkie. I can only find the Arkie style at TW and they are like $2 each. On the Spro and Blakemore I will add a tiny fluke tail for bulk and the hair to flutter around. Thank you for this video! Bog is a beautiful, chill pup!
I’ve had good luck on the rainbow river. The hair jig works great in that super clear water. Know I’ve got to try them on some the lakes in your old hood.
Dude broski, just watched a video where you caught your pb 13 pounder. Congrats, that’s redonculous. Inspired me to go out and get mine. 3.75 lol but hey still a pb for me up here in the northeast. Thanks for the sick videos. My son and I enjoy watching them.
Hell yeah man 👏 thanks for watching the vids
AWESOME break down. I don't know how you don't have 10M subs Mikey!!!
Dude this video was SICK!! The music/editing/ content man this video is on point fareal. Also Special shout outs to BOG!!
Oh yeah I love a hair Jig. Good tips man I love it on the ledges.
Love how you break it all down on how to fish different lures and jigs I just started bass fishing so trying to understand how everything works and how to work them I would love to fish with you for one day I would learn a lot 👊🎣
Love the vid.be there in December some time to live big o style!
Only on your channel!!!! Dude that’s why I like it!! Your almost as screwed up as me! Haha
I’ve been waiting for a video like this! I love t man so information I’ve been throwing hairjigs this whole winter with not much luck now I mean va has been rainy as hell and maybe that’s why I’ve had no luck but anyways love the video Mikey keep it up!
Bog is the coolest👍👍👍
_Incredible _*_Fishing_*_ Congratulations Fisherman!_
*Hug!!!!!!* 👍🎣🐟🐠
I’m going to try on our California lakes Don Pedro and new Maloney’s .thanks for the tips.our lakes are very deep
Who doesn't like hair down there 😂😂 😂 I almost died when you said that !
Awesome! This is going into a hair jig playlist. 👍
nice video.....what about using a trailer with the hair jig?
Man, what great videos...thanks and keep it up!
Another great video bud. Great info. Thanks
Good stuff as always! Ever use a trailer to slow the fall or to add some vibration? Bucktail jigs are a staple for striped bass in the saltwater in the Northeast and you hardly ever see them without a grub or fluke style trailer....granted they are always in either current or surf.... and believe it or not I've never even thought about throwing the heavier jigs for freshwater bass. The marabou jigs on the other hand is a different story...(smallies love'em)...
Tying various lengths of leader (depending on what depth the fish are suspended)on the back of a topwater and attached the Marabou to it can be a great way to bit in the strike zone of suspended fish.
Great video!👍👍👍
Thank you, best explanation I have seen! adding it to the arsenal! Thanks dude
thanks man!
I’d like to hear your thought process and see you doing the idling around looking for fish.
this one goes thru the whole thing, just gotta watch the whole vid it's a bit long ua-cam.com/video/vIJad4WVWHM/v-deo.html
mikeybalzz fishing appreciate the link.
The Jtk hair jig is amazing! I went to all your spots and they chewed it!!
😂 the trolling is strong with this one.
could you do a video on your graph setup? The units and your settings and just tips? appreciate it
I prolly have 20 giant jair jigs mostly spro... Yet to catch fish yet... Cant wait. With Mikeys help i think will happen.
good luck man it's a fun bite!!!
Bog is the bomb 🎇
Thanks Mike--appreciate the info!
I WAS LITERALLY SORTING OUT MY HAIR JIGS WHEN I GOT THE NOTIFICATION CRAZY, BUT IN REFERENCE TO LAST VIDEO ID NAME HIM MILO

Curado K Rocks 👀
I love Bog!
Solid info. Love hairjiggin.
Your dog in the back though. lol. 3:09
Hey can you guys please do a hair jig video!!!!!!!
What's your personal best
THANKS AGAIN MIKEY" from Idaho!
Love the video bro
Good stuff man! Have to pick up a couple and try it! Question: you ever stroke an LV500 in the same conditions?
Bogg for life😁
Good stuff. Have you tried the hair jig on the Scrounger jig head? Did you hear Bog when you missed the first fish...he said Dude!...lol
What costas are they and do you ever have problems with them fogging up?
Hey Mikey!! Me and my family our going on vacation to Kissimmee in June , what is a good place to fish ? We will be fishing from the bank , thanks in advance for your reply and we love the videos brother!!
i don't know that area very well but if it were me i'd use google maps and look for ponds and little lakes to hop around on. you can stumble across some awesome little honey holes that way.
I've actually been throwing a small flutter spoon here on ky lake and it's been working pretty well. Bit I haven't thrown a hair jig very much. Would it work in water less than 54 degrees
I bought a hair jigs and cant catch nothing on them.
Hair 👅👅😈😈 I never really used a Hair jig,I learned a lot from this and all of your videos, and I really connect with your humor and personality, probably because were around the same age,"VHS videos hair OM FRIGGIN GOD 🤣😂🤣😂🍺🍻
Bog's other name...(from previous video)... "HairJig get in the boat, buddy! HairJig get in the boat! Jiggy get in the boat."
Are those gloves the ones on TW that are like the SIMMS but only like 20.00 a pair?
You should really do some Neko stuff I just got 2nd place on it 2days ago, it’s legit, and you got fish it fast in grass. But it was a spawning tournament some fish on beds but so windy you couldn’t really fish for them, Neko rig caught them though
I bet these younger kids thought VHS is some sort of new lure setup like the Texas Rig or what not. lol.
I have exactly 1 hair jig that's still in the package. I think I'll get it out and give it a try.
I love fishing jigs, I have a couple of hair jigs but just haven’t had any success yet, I have a question about something you didn’t cover in the video, it’s about trailers, I’ve always used them when trying to figure this presentation out, maybe that’s wrong after seeing your video and I just need to go after a higher quality hair jig, what’s your thoughts on when to use trailers and when not to?
imo unless they are absolutely chomping them and you want a larger profile i never use a trailer. i think it screws with the fall and the hair really does everything a plastic trailer would do and more.
mikeybalzz fishing Thanks for the reply brother, so what makes a hair jig attractive to you, what do you look for in a hair jig?
@@sonnygreen9698 with the style we're talking about in the vid this is my go to day in and day out. hook isn't too big but can handle big fish. unique darter style head, best color is white with a little green. jtk hair jig www.tacklewarehouse.com/Gambler_JTK_Hair_Jigs/descpage-GHJG.html?from=mkfish
Bog the Dog!!!
Mikey-
At 4:19 I see the fish on downscan, but what are the holding on? Looks featureless. Why are they there you think?
shell bar 100%. you can see it on the side scan or 2d.
Long time ago those were called a fly and rind so here is old school yellow hair jig with frog spot pork rind or white hair jig with red and white pork rind l know there is not to much pork rind around any more but you could use trailer that are common now on what they call jig and pig then there used to be a thing called a doll fly which was a hair jig with a plastic worm threaded on usually white jig red or purple worm and yellow with red or purple worm they used to fish them around bridges and don’t forget about the preachers jig which was a big hair jig and then there was a big hair jig with a big reaper threaded on it it was made for strippers it was done up white and grey and white and green or chartuse the reaper were usually white grey sliver sometimes yellow and more up to our time early scrounged jig made a walleye version hair jig in fire tiger but l am going to use it for smallmouth that’s old school
Is this something you recommend from the bank?
I don't see why not. only thing you have to look out for is cover since it's an open hook presentation. would definitley be viable around bridges and pilings if you're fishing stuff like that.
@@mikeybalzz Thx bro! U r the truf never change!
@Anthony Revels 👊
No bog costume?
Hair jigs work very good around boat docks as well with just a small trailer on them. Have been doing that for years. They skip very well.
that's cool i'll have to give that a try!
Love Bog! That that boy lick them fish, he loves it!
Super glue the rubber on your Costas? 😂
it's getting that bad eh hahahahah
Bog is cool and lazy!! :-P
Hello bog
It's all about the dog. No sense in watching unless he is hanging with you. lol The videos are informative tho.
bog is a rockstar!
Mike my pitbull in blue to 90 pounds
Sshhhhhhh........ Now every googan is gonna throw them. Guess im glad mine are one off hand tied
🤦🏻♀️🫣
I’m trying to grasp your logic. Let me find the fish on the most expensive fish finder, sonar and boats. Then records the video.
Then cast underneath the fish.
Where’s the talent of an angler? Any noob can catch fish with your equipment and boat. As a bank angler I don’t understand how you can be a professional angler vs a technical privileged cheater.
definitely privileged. to go from renting a jon boat for years, gradually working and saving and buying gear to be where i'm at now. it's definitely been a privilege . ua-cam.com/video/lZuMhrwZwbY/v-deo.html
Then I take my comment back.
