UNDERWATER BASS STRIKES ON JIGS!!! + Jig Fishing Tips!!

Its amazing how aggressive bass can be! Sometimes they inhale the jig, other times they shake it like a dog on a bone! Come underwater and check out all these amazing strikes on different styles of jigs! In the midst of it all, we're giving up the most guarded secret in all of jig fishing... when to set the hook!

It doesn't matter if the jig is your favorite lure or if you've thrown in the towel and don't believe you'll ever catch a bass on a jig, you can learn from this footage. Watch how some fish pick the bait up by the trailer or the skirt while others inhale it completely. Remember these images the next time you hit the water and it will be much easier to discern what your fishing are doing when you feel the "tick" in the line. 

Below you'll find links to all the jigs in the video. We've included our favorite sizes, colors, and trailers for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

How To Catch Bass With Plastic Worms! **INSANE UNDERWATER FOOTAGE**

Want to become a better fisherman? There is no better way than to head underwater and study bass behavior! Come along as Matt teaches how to get the most out of plastic worms while studying footage of actual bass eating a ned rig, dropshot, shaky head, and texas rig!

We learn a ton about bass behavior when we head underwater, but we also learn about the lures we're using. From above, a ned rig doesn't look like much but when it hits the bottom it comes to life, and its obvious bass can't resist them! Did you see any stand out baits in today's video? Perhaps it was the way that Smallie Smasher shakes at even the lightest touch on a dropshot, or the way the shaky head sways on its way to the bottom. 

Below you'll find links to some of our favorite baits from each category. We've included our best colors and rigging components for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
