UNDERWATER BASS STRIKES ON JIGS!!! + Jig Fishing Tips!!

Its amazing how aggressive bass can be! Sometimes they inhale the jig, other times they shake it like a dog on a bone! Come underwater and check out all these amazing strikes on different styles of jigs! In the midst of it all, we're giving up the most guarded secret in all of jig fishing... when to set the hook!

It doesn't matter if the jig is your favorite lure or if you've thrown in the towel and don't believe you'll ever catch a bass on a jig, you can learn from this footage. Watch how some fish pick the bait up by the trailer or the skirt while others inhale it completely. Remember these images the next time you hit the water and it will be much easier to discern what your fishing are doing when you feel the "tick" in the line. 

Below you'll find links to all the jigs in the video. We've included our favorite sizes, colors, and trailers for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Crazy Underwater Footage Of Bass Attacking Jigs!! **Slow Motion Strikes**

Come along as we head underwater to watch bass interact with their prey! We're using jigs to imitate crawfish and small panfish and the bass can't get enough! Its fascinating to watch how the bass approach the lures, what makes them strike, and what makes them cautious. Some of the strikes are so vicious we needed to switch to slow motion footage to even see the bass attack!

Every time we head underwater we learn something new about bass behavior. In today's clips it was fascinating to watch how the fish inhaled the jigs. When the fish were cautious, they would only bite the claws. When they were made they inhaled the jig in a 2 or 3-step process. In every interaction it was clear the bass were aware of the jig's "claws" and made sure to incapacitate the claws first. 

What did you take away from the video? Do you notice any behavioral mannerisms? Did you see a favorite bait or trailer? Perhaps it was the subtle kick of the Paca Chunk, or the violent whipping motion of the Rage Craw?

We threw a huge variety of jigs and trailers to these fish. Below you'll find links to the exact jig and trailer combinations the fish were attacking, along with a few bonus trailers that we've had consistent success with over the years. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
