If a jig is a bait you look forward to in the Winter. The summer has a lot of the same qualities, perfect for a jig.

The sweet spot between a Texas Rig and a Full size jig, enter finesse jig. The finesse jig is still cutting edge - the addition of Tungsten heads, Round Rubber, and hooks strong enough for braid and flipping sticks. https://youtu.be/268YNtJI7Lw?si=xxCU1cYFpSrbSFnT

Welcome back. I fished a couple BFL tournaments on Guntersville the first week of the month (because of a make up), learned a lot. After posting 16 videos on YT in March: this one seems to resonate with the most people. Heavy cover is probably the biggest cliche in bass fishing. And right now with females moving shallow before the spawn, there is one common denominator, in everything they do… STAY SAFE.

Casey. Enjoyed the video on treble hooks on different hard baits. There are 2 ways to put treble hooks on the split rings. Turned one way there is a single leg of the treble down & the other 2 are up (when the lure is being retrieved & hooks are up). Rotated the other way 2 legs of the treble are down & one is up ( this is when you see a hook wear on the bottom of the lure from the single leg wearing against the lure as it it wiggles etc). If you want to make your Squarebills or most any crsnkbait come through cover much better make sure you have the treble with the single leg down & you can bend the hook inward just a bit. You can also do this to the rear hook on deep divers that you may be cranking through deep brush piles. You will be surprised how many fish still get hooked on a treble that is bent inward. The key is making the cranbait hit the cover but not hang to trigger the bites. Having the treble hooks that are “inline” lines one of the legs up in line with the eye. All trebles are not in line & these don’t line up perfectly down. The pic below shows the single leg down alignment on a squarebill. This really helps on lipless baits as to not snag the grass as bad on the from bottom hook ( if bent inward some).

Even in the colder months, a jig you fish on the bottom might not be the slow technique you thought. The right size/type jig paired with two cold water modifications, fished the correct way is your best chance at a fish of a lifetime this Winter.
