Jig Fishing Tricks For Fall and Winter Bass Fishing

Catching bass with jigs is really easy! You can do it, and we’re going to help! A few jigs, a few trailers, and you’re ready to adapt to anything Fall bass fishing brings your way. Pay close attention to how we adapt the jigs to changing conditions and you’ll be ready to start catching fish on your next trip.

When it comes to jigs, Fall is all about finesse. Lighter hooks and lighter line are the keys to getting consistent bites. Matt prefers football jigs this time of year and focuses on a few basic colors and sizes. Its important to adapt with changing conditions but Matt finds its easier (and cheaper) to change trailers and trailer colors rather than carrying dozens of jigs styles and colors.

Below is a breakdown of his simplified jig fishing method. There are a total of 4 jigs and 6 trailer styles. If you listen closely and analyze your fishery you should only need 2-3 jigs and 3-4 trailers to adapt to anything your fishery can throw at you this Fall.

Senko Fishing Tricks! Beginner Senko Rigging To Advanced Fishing Tips

Senkos have a “right side up!” Few anglers realize there is a right and wrong way to rig them. This is just one of the many details Tim is covering in today’s in-depth look at bass fishing with a soft stick bait. He’ll cover the beginner rigging basics but also dive into advanced tricks that will help you refine your technique in different situations.

If you’re only going to fish a Senko once in a while, it should be the 5″. The standard 5″ senko has incredible fishing catching power all over the country. If you want to refine your fishing, target bigger fish, search for a key finesse bite, etc… there is a time and place for the other sizes and styles. Most anglers consider the senko a basic bait but they’re overlooking its value for big bass and power fishing.

Below is a breakdown of all the baits, hooks, and gear in the video. We’ve included color recommendations for each senko, hook sizes to match worm sizes, and more. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
