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.

Swinging Jigs For Summer Bass! (Everything You Need To Know)

This is our FAVORITE technique for catching BIG BASS in late Spring and early Summer! The Swing head jig is overlooked by most anglers but it's still catching a ton of big fish! This technique is easy to do, won't require new gear, and it will work on your lake. It's time to set your old Summer patterns aside, and try something completely different!

The swinging jig is incredibly simple. All you do is pair the free swinging head with your favorite bait, let it hit bottom, and start a moderate retrieve. As you swim it along the bottom the bait will bump along, deflecting off cover, and drawing reaction strikes from the bass. While this technique can be done with swimbaits, worms, and creature baits, our best results have consistently come with creature baits.

When it comes to baits, there are endless options that can be rigged on these heads. However, we've found very specific baits that consistently get bigger bites. Below you'll find links to those exact baits, as well as the heads and gear we use to fish them. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
