Jig Tricks To Target Bass During The Fall Transition!

Matt is on the water and the bite is wide open, come along! If you know where to look, the Fall transition is some of the most exciting fishing of the year! Watch how Matt builds a pattern and catches a ton of quality bass, using 3 key baits.

There's no question that today was all about the jig. As the grass in the lake faded, all the bass moved to hard structure, making it very easy for Matt to target them. He used 2 different jigs to catch bass after bass, sometimes even calling his shot. To make things interesting, he kept expanding and found two additional patterns that boat produced quality fish.

Below you'll find links to all the baits Matt used throughout the day. We've also included his exact rod and reels combos for the various baits. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

How To Make Your Own Finesse Jig! (And Save A Lot Of Money)

Matt is always modifying jigs, but today he's taking it a step further! He's found a football head and skirt combination that are inexpensive, easy to assemble, and they'll save you a lot of money if you put them together yourself!
