Buyer's Guide: Best Jigs and Trailers For Bass Fishing
In today's Buyer's Guide we're exploring the best jigs for every situation! From swim jigs to football jigs, flipping to finesse, there is a jig that will help you catch more fish. Come along as we explore the different styles, what they're for, and how to choose the best options for your local fisheries.
We're covering a variety of jigs today. We're starting off with heavy duty jigs, both swim jigs and flipping, then looking at all-around jigs, finesse jigs, and ending with micro jigs. For every jig there is a matching trailer that creates the perfect package whether you're imitating a crawdad, a bluegill, or a baitfish. The key is knowing how to pair them up and when to use each style.
Below you'll find links to all our favorite jigs. There are also links to our favorite trailers, including favorite sizes and colors where applicable. We've even included our favorite rod and reel combos for jig fishing. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
