Fall Jig Fishing Made Easy! ( Best Jigs, Jig Trailers, and Locations )

This is everything you need to know to catch more bass with jigs this Fall! The jig bite can be amazing this time of year, and we're going to help you figure out how to do it. We rely on jigs to consistently get BIG bites in Fall, and you can too. From Pitching jigs to football jigs, micro jigs to homemade jigs, Matt is giving up all the details!

Fish position in predictable ways in the Fall. They sit near hard structures like dock pilings, lay down trees, and rocks. Understanding how fish are positioning is half the battle. Pay attention as Matt explains how to breaks down water and when he relies on different jig styles. Getting bit on the jig is easy, you just need to build confidence to throw it. From there, it's all about selecting the right rod so you can land the fish that you hook.

Below you'll find links to the exact jigs, trailers and gear discussed in the video. We've included Matt's favorite colors, trailers, as well as the rod and reel combos he uses to fish them effectively.
