UNDERWATER FOOTAGE OF FINESSE JIGS + BEST JIG TRAILERS!

Come underwater and watch how different baits respond to movement underwater! We throw a ton of compact micro jigs so today we're comparing the best jigs and jig trailers that we've found. Come below the surface into crystal clear water and see if you can find a favorite jig and trailer to help you catch more fish this year!

Downsizing your presentations to get more bites has been the theme for anglers across the country the last few years. As a result, micro jigs continue to gain popularity. Finding the right jig is tough, and understanding when to use different trailers is a whole other issue. Check out how unique each of these jig and trailer combos really are. We hope that a few minutes of underwater footage will help you choose the best choices for your fisheries, as you get a clear look at profile, realism, and movement in a real world setting.

Below you'll find links to the jigs and trailers. We've included our favorite sizes and colors for each, as well as some of our favorite rods (at different price points) for fishing micro jigs. 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! **Underwater Footage Of Dropshot, Ned Rig, And Texas Rigs**

Do you want to catch bass? Come underwater with us! Let's study bass behavior and learn about different lures at the same time! Watch how bass react to a dropshot, ned rig, and Texas rig, as well as how the baits behave with different rigging. These are the details you need to know to catch more fish!

We learn a ton about bass behavior when we go underwater, but we also learn about the lures we're using. Pay close attention to Matt's tips on bait rigging, jig head weight, and lure selection. Also, you'll notice in the underwater shots that no two baits are created equal so focus your attention on baits with neutral buoyancy and consistent action.

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

Underwater Footage Of Finesse Baits!! Micro Craws, Creatures, and Texas Rigs!!

Finesse fishing is taking over again! Let's head underwater and see why! These are some of our favorite finesse baits! Whether you prefer spinning tackle, or you've jumped on board with BFS (Bait Finesse), fishing downsized presentations helps you get bites when fishing is tough. The Micro Texas Rig has become a go–to presentation for us, and these are the baits we rely on!

What began as jig trailers for our micro jigs, has morphed into a category all its own. As Bait Finesse Fishing has taken a larger roll in our fishing, the micro creatures and craws have become a staple in the arsenal. They can be rigged on ned heads, micro Texas Rigs, and of course, as a micro jig trailer. Each bait has a unique profile and stance in the water, and each plays an important roll in our fishing.

Do you have a favorite, after watching the underwater footage? Let us know in the comments! Below you'll find links to all the baits, as well as the rigging we used to display them. We've also included some of our favorite finesse gear, and some great budget friendly alternatives. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each.
