Summer jig fishing is a great way to catch big bass! In today’s video Matt starts off by simplifying jig fishing for the angler that just wants to build confidence in the technique. He demonstrates jig retrieves before diving in depth into how to adapt your jigs to changing conditions, how to stroke a jig, and how to adapt trailers for Summer bass fishing.
Jig fishing is one of those techniques you can dive as deep into as you want. It can be as simple as a single jig in a great color that you use effectively throughout the year or it can be taken to a whole different level. It can also be taken to the max with different styles, colors, and retrieves. Stroking is a prime example of how a jig can be adapted to get bigger bites. In today’s video Matt explains how to stroke a jig then takes it a step further and shows a simpler way to adapt the technique when fishing flats.
Its up to you to decide how in depth you want to take your jig fishing. Below is a breakdown of the baits, trailers, and colors Matt discussed in the video. He also included the jig combo he was using as well as a few alternatives at different price points.
