Fall Jerkbait Fishing! ( Beginner To Advanced – Full Seminar )

Jerkbait fishing is one of the best techniques an angler can learn! The jerk bait's ability to trigger a feed response in a bass puts it in a category that few other lures achieve. However, the true potential of a jerkbait is only unlocked when an angler understands the subtle nuances of these incredible lures, and that's what we're teaching you today!

The speed of your retrieve cadence, lure color, lure depth, and many other factors impact your ability to catch jerkbait fish. This is a technique that can take your fishing to a whole new level, but it requires a strict attention to detail.

Below we're breaking out our favorite baits by category and style. We've included our favorite colors for each (subtle and bold) and also included our favorite rod and reel combos for the presentation. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Free Rig Fishing For Fall Bass! (On The Water How To)

Come along on the boat as we fish the "Free Rig" for Fall bass! Have you tried the "Free Rig" yet? This is a great time of year to use this presenation! Think of this rig as a finesse version of a Texas Rig or Carolina Rig. It's a fish catcher and you should give it a try!

The Free Rig isn't new, but is continuing to gain popularity, especially as grass begins dying back in the Fall. This rig really shines around lay downs, docks, and other hard cover.  The benefit of this rig is it allows your bait to fall very slowly, allowing a natural presentation, while still keeping great bottom contact.

Jig Fishing For Fall Bass - Everything You Need To Know!

If you're not comfortable fishing a jig, this video is for you! The jig bite can be amazing in the Fall! We rely on it to get BIG bites when other baits don't. The key is understanding where bass are positioning and which jig styles to throw. Today Tim is giving you the keys to Fall jig fishing whether you're fishing a clear finesse fishery, a shallow grassy lake, or anywhere in between.

Understanding how fish are positioning in the Fall is half the battle. Pay attention to Tim's tips on WHERE he throws each style of jig as much as why he's throwing it. Getting bit on the jig is easy, once you're around the right fish. After that it's all about jig selection and color. The right jig for a highland reservoir is completely different than the right jig for a Southern fishery.

Below you'll find links to the exact jigs, trailers and gear discussed in the video. We've included Tim's favorite sizes and colors as well. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
