HELLO, EVERYONE! I AM FISHTUBER — THE FISHING MUSCLE! ✌️ Have you ever gone fishing? When you're going out for some bass fishing—which is a common type of fish—you're going to want the right tools and trades to use. Another very fun way to catch bass is with a jig! A jig is specific type of fishing lure that may allow you to catch more fish. In this Happy View guide, we will learn everything there is to know about jig fishing for bass. Are you ready? Let’s dive in!
That is a clever technique to catch the bass fishing with a jig. Jigs actually imitate small fish, which is the perfect thing to throw out during lunch hour if you are a bass! A jig combines a hook (the sharp bit that snags the fish) and a weight (made of metal or plastic). This weight is useful as it aids the jig to sink slowly in the water like a real fish swims down. When the jig ripples through the water, it can tempt the bass into thinking it’s a delicious dinner.
Select the right jig: There’s no shortage of different jigs to choose from, but not all of them will work for big bass. If you want to fish for bass from shore, you will have to go for a heavy jig that will reach the bottom of the water where the bass likes to hang out. That said, the jig needs to be light enough for the fish to now be able to bite. It’s kind of like discovering the ideal munchie!
Monitor the water temperature: The temperature of the water affects how bass will behave. Bass do not search around a lot when it is cold out and the fish will be staying low in the water to be in warmer water. But in warmer weather they are more active, and will swim around more. So change the weight of your jig and the presentation to make it more appealing for the bass depending on the season and temperature.
Improve your fishing pole: Fishing rods are available in various thickness and length. When it comes to jig fishing for big bass, a good 1/2 to 1 ounce jig rod that you can feel the bite on is what you want to go withN. A good fishing rod can also help you see how the jig acts beneath the water, which can offer hints about the activity of the fish.
If you want to know how to catch more bass with a jig, the key is making it appear as if it is real food that fish want to eat. That is best accomplished by using a jig with natural colors and movements. It is essential that the jig appears to be alive! You could also put on a piece of bait on the jig to have it smell good and attract the bass. The additional smell can help persuade the fish that your jig’s a piece of food they ought to chase.
Find the right spot: Bass prefer to swim in certain areas in the water — rocky spots, or areas with lots of plants. Before you head out on a fishing trip here are the best types of water where bass like to hang out as getting this information will greatly increase your chances of landing some bass.
