BUYER'S GUIDE: BEST JIGS AND JIG TRAILERS! (By Style)
Today's begins our 2024 Holiday Buyer's guide series! Today's video is all about jig fishing! These are the best swim jigs, flipping jigs, football jigs and micro jigs we can find! We're exploring how head shapes and hook sizes impact the baits. We're also covering our favorite jig trailers by style, as well as the rods we rely on to fish them effectively.
Jig fishing is a staple bass fishing technique. If you're not comfortable catching bass with jigs, you still have room to grow as an angler. Luckily, the technique is very simple! You don't need every jigs style, typically one or two jigs will cover all the situations you'll face on your lake. Once you've chosen those, pair with the appropriate trailer options, and you're done!
Below you'll find links to the exact jigs and trailers we discussed them in the video. We've included our favorites sizes and colors for each category, as well as the rods we use to fish them. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
