Yes! The Griff man made an appearance. We were waiting for his insight on fishing the Football Jig. No doubt he has it fine tuned. Lol. Can't wait for the next showdown.
I love these breakdown videos. My fav football jig trailers are the Netbait Paca chunk, Yamamoto Double Tail Grub, and the Yamamoto Flappin Hogg. Great video!
Insightful? Absolutely! The presentation was so thorough in explaining the “why”. I have Dirty Jigs. Just need to get comfortable with them. Definitely need to refresh the smaller jigs. Thank you so much for taking tome to educate. So nice to have videos fron Az anglers. Excited to return to Bartlett and Roosevelt after my hip heals. Thank you again.
Been really binging your videos since I first came across the channel a couple months ago. Jigs are absolutely my favorite bass lure, My main jig is a Dirty Jigs 5/8 oz finesse football (molting craw color) and a trimmed down Yamamoto cowboy (green pumpkin). I usually drag football jigs or fish them like a swing-head. If I think I need to stroke a jig, I usually fish a different style. Something I have been experimenting with lately is fishing like what northern anglers call "cracking" a tube. Basically I'm dragging it in faster pulses (mixing up how many times I do it before pausing), but trying to keep it on the bottom. Heavier jigs make this easier. This approach has given me great outcomes so far. I'm sure I'm not the only person doing this, but give it a try if you haven't before.
I watched this video last year and thought you were nuts saying you had issues with the Keitech m2. I’ve dumped 3 good fish this last week using it now I’m back seeing what my alternatives are lol.
I like to hand tie my own jigs. Live in Canada, so a good portion of the year everything's froze. So I usually tie jigs in the winter. Old school flat rubber is a killer on the smallies up here. I like buying dirty jigs then taking the skirt off and tying on my own. Can make it as bulky or slim as you want, any matching of colors and materials. Swim jigs with a mix of silicone and old school flat rubber are really good too.
I love to throw me a football jig, even in the winter. In winter I use a mini D-bomb trailer and trim the skirt (with craw dad scent). In winter from the shore I managed to catch a few 4 and 5 pound LMB. Black and Blue or Pumpkin green. 🔥
I foresee a 1v1 Jig challenge in the next video? You got the champ making an appearance last minute to show off the belt LOL! He’s calling you out Ben! 😂
Bad ass video! New to your store but appreciate the breakdowns and action on the tank! Been a kietech football jig guy up here in NY but def gonna order some of those Deps now
Quick question: Could you guys sort your videos into playlists? (I.e. fish offs, tips, weekly gear review, etc.?) It would just be nice to have. Otherwise, great video!
I was surprised you didn’t mention the Braillist. Is that because you use 3/4oz? I fish up to 5/8 on that with 15# flouro but thinking of switching to braid/leader
Thanks guys for all the info. I love throwing jigs. My favorite jig is the bass patrol jig. Also what is your thoughts on the Slx reels and what budget rod would you suggest for it? I’m mainly a bank angler.
SLX are great reels for the money. At the 100 dollar price point they’re unmatched. If you can afford the extra 30 bucks the xt has the infinity breaking which makes a world of difference. Best rod around that price point I think is a dobyns fury. The 734 model is a great do anything rod but makes an awesome jig rod
Please don’t fire Grif, that was some funny ish! All jokes aside, great content, I’m on the east coast but I have family in Tucson so next time I’m out I’m going to pay you guys a visit! Tight lines!
Is there any scientific proof of the basses teeth being worn down from eating craws? I've always heard people say that, but never seen anyone prove it.
@@thehookuptackle_usa yes that's the email address I emailed. I will call again and leave a voicemail. You have something wrong with your website when you select an item it adds another color to your cart. Very weird.
Dude! The info with the teeth... mind blown! I was like, "Huh, no shit?" 🤣
This is the stuff I'm subbed for lol
Awesome that helped! Thanks for watching!!
This is literally the most informative fishing video on UA-cam. Very impressive man.
Thank you for watching man! 👊
Yes! The Griff man made an appearance. We were waiting for his insight on fishing the Football Jig. No doubt he has it fine tuned. Lol. Can't wait for the next showdown.
Bahahahaaa...I spit up my coffee when Grif came out with that championship belt...don't change a fuggin thing with this channel.
Great video! I’ve been fishing the Dirty Jigs for awhile, but will have to try the Deps and OSP finesse jigs. Also love the Griff cameo! Lmao

Griff I fucking love it dude !!! I died when I seen you come in the picture lol !!! Got have a sense of humor in the world we’re living in 👍🤣😂🤣
He sure is enjoying his moment...😜🍻
The Champ is here!! ✊ And I didn't see you drink Orion in this video. Great stuff Ben. Love the videos. 🎣👍

Damn I was laughing for real when Griff came around the corner with his belt! 😆
He’s proud of that belt 🏆
the champ graced the video with his presence
Excellent breakdown as always. I’m old school Yamamoto Double most of the time and then a Craw/Beaver as well.
Ball head jig or small football jig with a cut senko on the back works good
TNT baits are back !!! Best jig on the market for sure. Give them a look. You won’t be disappointed !!! Cheers from the California Delta
I used to love the TNT jigs!
Great t-shirt idea...Front: A bite is nice Back: But ya gotta land the phuckers! 👍🍺🎣

For sure! 😜🍻
My favorite is the Stanley standup fb hjigs, but the V&M flatline in 5/8 is quickly becoming my go to.
You guys are raising the bar. Straight 🔥
Bad ass video! New to your store but appreciate the breakdowns and action on the tank! Been a kietech football jig guy up here in NY but def gonna order some of those Deps now
Love the belt Jeff😂😂
I know it's not a football jig but one of my favorite finesse jigs is the duo realis 3.5 gram v tail for spotted bass
That’s a great one!
More awesome info... Thanks Ben!!
The Big Bites and Zoom twin tail grubs are a great budget choice
Quick question: Could you guys sort your videos into playlists? (I.e. fish offs, tips, weekly gear review, etc.?) It would just be nice to have. Otherwise, great video!
Great suggestion! With all this content, a playlist is needed for sure!
Great idea!
Ya get the king on that pronto!
When imitating gizzard shad are you still using the green pumpkin color?
Thank you’
Keitech finesse football with z man craw is the deal. I’ll have to give the deps one a try.
I've been lookin for a finesse football combo this is a great idea I'll have to try soon after this rain stops.
@@Mr.Higgs. I caught 3 smallmouth over 4lbs in two trips with that combo.
Great tips video what your favorite Michigan smallmouth bait
Could you break down all the jerkbaits in 1 video like you did with top water spool style baits
as always ....GRANDE!
Ben, how is the NRX+ 904c for the 1/2-3/4 jigs?
I was surprised you didn’t mention the Braillist. Is that because you use 3/4oz? I fish up to 5/8 on that with 15# flouro but thinking of switching to braid/leader
Jigs are one of the sleeper baits for muskie fishing. Is there a football head with a crazy strong hook out there?
what is up?!?!? envy of your sick OSP black on black hat.
Great video, Take Griff to hidden lake and fish off a boat for a 1V1
Thanks, very informative as usual ;-)
Thank you for watching! 🍻
32:08 Ahahaha! Best part of the video by far! You’ll have to really kick his ass next time for that!
Next time it’s serious 👊😜🍻

Griff is just Awesome ! Just made me spit my Red Bull across my dash and windshield !! Awesome Champions belt
You should drink Monster anyway...😜🍻
@@thehookuptackle_usa what is that ?
Monster never heard of it ..
Which NRX model would you go with specifically for football head jigs? 853c?
I like it bi! Hahahhaah .Ben what do you want for ur NRX?
Well you sold me on the Deps finesse jig now when will you have any in stock to buy??
Dope video as always
Thank you for watching! 🍻
Please don’t fire Grif, that was some funny ish! All jokes aside, great content, I’m on the east coast but I have family in Tucson so next time I’m out I’m going to pay you guys a visit! Tight lines!
Sounds good! 👊🍻
thanks for the tips love the one about the teeth
You got it! Thanks for watching!
That tip alone made the video worth it! Everything else was icing on top
What's the best all around weight for the fitness jig? Do you lighten it up?
I don’t. “finesse” football to me just means size of jig, not weight of jig.
Is there any scientific proof of the basses teeth being worn down from eating craws? I've always heard people say that, but never seen anyone prove it.
I just gave you proof - I said it 😜🍻. Do your own study and see what you come up with.
I have a P5 x-bites
Would a 1/2oz football jig + trailer be pushing it too far and get mushy?
That’s perfect!
Griff is Rad
Nice language thanks
My pleasure 🍻
why don't you cut the keitech's weed guard off😂
You should definitely buy a real 1 v 1 champions belt...
Which ARMS for jig/worms?
7’ 5 power or 7’2” 8 power
Primo shit right here, thnx!
Thank you for watching!
Please do jig 1v1 video
PREACH IT! Ben for PREZ lol
#BenForPresident :)
Hahaha! I’ll make beer the national morning beverage 🍻😜
@@thehookuptackle_usa lol
Time to fire up the old 894c
Hell yeah!
Hey I have been trying to contact your store via Email and phone this whole week and getting no reply. I received the wrong items in my order.
Did you leave a message? Try us again, we’ve returned all calls we had messages for. Or email - thehookuptackle@gmail.com
@@thehookuptackle_usa yes that's the email address I emailed. I will call again and leave a voicemail. You have something wrong with your website when you select an item it adds another color to your cart. Very weird.
Instead of trimming the weed guard have you ever just pulled a few out?
Whatever gives you the best hook up’s! I like trimming, but thinning can work great also 👍
Do we need to take up a collection for beer money? You must be out??
Hahaha! I f**king love that’s your takeaway 😜! We should be friends! 🍻
