Jig Fishing For Beginners - Jigging Rigs, Tips & Tactics
For this latest episode, with a big thanks to retail tackle giants Angling Direct, we try something a little different as we head off for a spot of Jig fishing, with fishing guide Jonny Stephenson. Jonny is an expert in this field and has fished all around the world, he also runs his own guiding business and is sponsored by lure fishing supremo's Spro.
What we know about Jig fishing can be written on the back of a postage stamp, so we head into the session complete novices, hoping to pick Jonnys brains about all things Jig related, including rigs, tips and general all-round tactics.
If you are already a seasoned jig/lure fishing angler then this probably won't be the video for you, but if you're not and you fancy having a go at it yourself (like we did) then you may find it useful.
To find out exactly how we got on and to perhaps find out a few tips along the way, watch this latest installment, from the waters edge.
As usual we hope you enjoy it and any feedback is always much appreciated.

Very interesting, good to see how other anglers are fishing in other parts of the world. Thanks for sharing the knowledge and taking the time to make videos. Watching from Southern California in the U.S.A.
cheers for the vid! more and more people are getting into this, I used it last summer off the yak for mackeral, a mack on a 1,5-5g spinning rod is insane! amazing sport
No worries +yakky basher Saundetson glad you enjoyed it and thanks for taking the time to comment. :-) We've never tried it in saltwater, but am guessing it would be mega fun!!! Pound for pound Mackerel have to be one of the hardest fighting species out there too! Hope your fishing is going well. Cheers Chris
this is what got me back to fishing since over 10 years ago. i like the idea of having little equipment . since i restarted last year with a jig set up i caught my first pike and caught a scond one this year . first on a spinner and a jig head. Shakespeare ugly stik travel rod, braded line and flourocarbon
Brilliant stuff David! 😊
The information I need with the accent I want
Haha, thanks mate! :-)
Lol I need subtitles for this
Lmao
😅😆 lol
Got the gear now I know how to use it properly !
Great informative video thanks for sharinhg.
Thanks as always +John Lindsay glad you enjoyed the video, hope your fishing is going well and that you manage to catch a few fish on Jigs and lures over the coming weeks. Tight lines, cheers Chris.
And down the rabbit hole, he goes. Enjoy this my friend.
cracking vid im only 13 and I absolutely love fishing not only have you gave me great tips you inspire me to get out there and catch some fish I used your advice to catch my first ever fish and some other awesome fish too keep it up guys tight lines
Awesome stuff +Enderslime Gaming thanks for the kind message too. Glad you are enjoying the videos and that you find them informative. Good luck with your fishing, hope you are managing to catch a few! Tight lines, cheers Chris.
Wow Johnny shared a treasure trove of information thanks!
One of the better vids I’ve seen.. honest and enjoyable 👍
Thanks for the kind comments mate, glad you enjoyed it!
With this colder weather the fish have the feed bag on so I've been doing some vertical jigging by kayak launches and rocky walls. Micro tackle for the change of pace and experience
Nice one Ryan, hope you've been catching a few!
Literally a few :P
I bought a rod for 20$ and a set of jigs for 2$ and catch walleyes near me all the time. I subbed simply for the truth the guy stated you don't need hundreds of dollars or pounds of gear. a 20$ lure or a 1$ lure, if the fish aren't hungry they simply will not strike no matter how much money you spend.
You're 100% right there mate! I always think like that when I fish from the beach... if the fish aren't there you can't catch them! Whether you have £10's worth of tackle or £1000's worth of tackle. You can't put a price on watercraft etc :-) Hope your fishing is going well.
zepharos you have to change the species that you fish for and that's all when one's not biting the other one might out of the hundred to choose from
zepharos
Except in deep saltwater.
Cheers mates, now you have a new friend in Texas! Thanks for the excellent video.
Ahhh thanks Emil! Nice to hear from you all the way over in Texas too! Hope you’ve been catching a few fish. 😌🎣
After a fishing layoff for a decade, I've bought stuff for jig fishing for Perch........I'll be going this weekend and midweek for a couple of 2 hour sessions to get me back into this after a long layoff......Needless to say, I've never tried this style of fishing before with lightweight gear.....and I'm looking forward to it
Good luck mate, hope you've been catching a few. 😊
Great to see someone handling and releasing the fish in a gentle way:-)
Thanks Pete, we always try and look after them. :-)
Me too unless it’s yellow perch then they go in hot grease. 😋 yum
before last weekend id only ever fished with the good old worm and a hook, but i tried a jig for a change and i caught my first pike and the biggest bass ive ever caught. Jig fishing is where its at.
Nice one mate!
I don't really do much jigging, but am going to do some in some future videos on out channel... so thank you for the refresher course! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the kind comments mate, glad you enjoyed it! Good luck with your fishing too, hope you've been catching a few! :-)
cheers had my first pike after watching this ..
Excellent stuff +sweepboxerdog glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for taking the time to comment. :-)
Top class video this one and needs to be put out there again it's nearly the 16th June 2020 i can get on my beloved River Thames.
Thanks mate! Hope you caught a few on the Thames too! :-)
Great video, that guy with the hat is full of knowledge, Fishing with a pro like that would be sick!
Haha, thanks mate!
This is (at 16:00) the best possible way to release a fish! Nice to see someone being that careful.
Thanks mate!
Great video. Will use a lot of your tips ! Brilliant!
Cheers +Don smith glad you enjoyed it and thanks for taking the time to comment.
Excellent guys,very informative video this👍thank you for sharing
Thanks for the kind comments +corso bazatu glad you enjoyed it! :-)
I like how you don't try to push any specific brands. American anglers are way too commercialized and always pushing some brand or another. Glad to see that you don't need fancy equipment to catch fish
Thanks mate. 😊
Great vid lads I do quite a lot of this method lately it's so addictive it was meant for me to do a few hrs after work but it's one more cast one more oh go on then another hour lol
Cheers +Barry Boyd glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking the time to comment! :-)
I can definitely see how it can be addictive +Barry Boyd I reckon I could easily lose a day poking about in all the different boat yards with a rod, reel and a few lures!
that's rockland st mary I went there before christman caught 6 pike in one day from there nothing big still a good day river wesum in Norwich is so good my mate had 3Ib 8oz perch this year and we had so many pike
Nice one mate, thats mega!
the ocean one is much more exciting when u can jig big fish with specific jig rod, reel & bait
you get what you pay for i spent 120 on a savage gear 2-7 gram rod and gunki reel few spikey shads and tbh thats cheap for what im used to paying for
Nice one Rhys, hope you've bagged plenty of fish using it!
I catch big fish in salt water with big soft jigs. They work great but a big cod will rip them up soon. I repair them with clr glue, basically superglue, I dust the tear with backing soda then squeeze it together and let the glue soak in. Works great, just don’t glue it to your finger.
Cheers John, nice tip that!
Great video for a noob thank you sir!
Just bought a load of new lures from savage gear and wish. Will be dropshoting and lure fishing. Can't wait.
Nice one mate, hope you catch a few fish using them. :-)
@@FromTheWatersEdgeTV cheers. I might post a video when I get time to use them. Merry Christmas!
my 2 favs for walleye and pike swirl tail grubs and crank baits.
Nice one Cooper, hope you've been catching a few! Tight lines, cheers.
thanks buddy, I hope to post a few videos here of fishing in Saskatchewan soon Fishings been slow they just finished spawning.
Excellent tutorials. Subscribed.
Thanks for watching mate and glad you enjoyed it. 😌🎣
I got a 380 buck rod and can't catch shit
Haha! That made me smile! :-)
Who told you that more money means more fish? That works just in shops m8, fishing is not made by tools. Fishing is knowledge, skill and a bit of luck.
+Ilie Florin (Liloiu) please don't be jealous
Jealous for m8, got my own set of tools. The difference is that mine catch fish :P
Spend some more time on the lake, you'll make your rod worth the money :P
just simple,you are not ready to use that rod! put that rod on corner after clean,start use cheap rod watch in utube and keep practicing out on shore,,pay attention how sucesfull guys catching the fishs,,after a while you gona go back on you 380$ rod and gona use in right way and how he deserv! if you gona go this way I am sure gona make your rod worth for what you payed
Just catched my first fish with a jighead yesterday, about 2kg :)
Great stuff mate! Hopefully its the first of many. :-)
Hey guys great video! I have one question. Im from Denmark and up here we fish in the ocean with a lot of cods and makrel. Do these work on those aswell u think? our weather is mostly grey and snowing or raining so what type of color would u think u should go with? Atb -
Hi mate, glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking the time to comment. These things would work for Cod and Mackerel, however you'd potentially use something slightly bigger for Cod. Colour wise it's best to experiment throughout your session, as different things will work on different days. Some people will say in bright conditions, something dark will work best and then when it's dull and grey something brighter will work better.
also mackerel like a shiny spoon moving fast, good luck
dang, I suck at fishing with jigs and plastics
Practice makes perfect? :-)
Awesome Video thanks guys. From Ohio USA
No worries mate, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for taking the time to comment! :-)
I thought these guys were from Ohio.
Excellent video. Love this style of fishing. Will be holidaying in Norfolk this year is there plenty of opportunity to fish this and dropshot style?
Thanks +Chris Bigg glad you enjoyed it! :-) Ahhh that'll be nice! Make sure you bring some rods, there'll be loads of angling opportunities!! ;-)
great video,its brilliant fun just to get out for couple of hours.hopefully it will get popular,and we will get some matches!
Cheers +janis saldaks glad you enjoyed the video! It was a really nice way of fishing, especially like you say, when you only have a couple of hours spare, you don't need a lot of tackle either!
will these work for wild brown trout?
Thanks for the vid guys. I'll be heading to the Broads soon so may well give this a go. Is that Rockland St Mary by any chance?
No worries mate! And yes it is. :-)
Found this video after I lost most my weighted hooks and soft plastics
I've been looking for something like this for ages to use the same lures for LRF
Good stuff +David Storton glad you enjoyed the video! :-)
I am interested in the interchangeable weights. Who makes the weights. I found the snaps. Thanks and tight lines.
It's a company called Spro.
Great, honest video guys.
Thanks for the kind comment mate, glad you enjoyed the video.
I can only afford one good rig right now. I got a daiwa fuego ct baitcaster and I was going to pair it with a kast king Royale legend 7’ mh rod. I want to be able to fish anything from crappie to catfish to bass. Would that work? Any info helps. Thanks!
so how do you know at what depth is your jighead (unless you feel that you hit bottom)?
Secondly - can you do the style of always hitting bottom, then picking it up, hitting bottom and so on. Basically dragging through bottom. Or would this be bad idea?
Hi Tom, in this video we were slowly bouncing the jig head along the bottom, tweaking it every so often to imitate an injured bait fish.
Good stuff lads ! any chance of doing a dead baiting for pike vid in the future , now its getting a bit colder im thinking of having a go for them , cheers thumbs up !
Cheers +Stuart Unsworth glad you enjoyed the video! Yeah some Pike fishing is definetely on the agenda, it's just a case of getting out and doing it :-) We did do one Pike fishing video last winter, so if you haven't seen it yet then check it out, we caught a couple of nice fish too! Thanks again and hope your fishing is going well, tight lines, cheers Chris.
From The Waters Edge TV
Cheers Chris going to watch it now
Brilliant video 📹👏 it helps to know
Thanks mate! Glad to see your channel going well too and nice to see you and Rhys at Chesil! :-)
@@FromTheWatersEdgeTV thank you for the support mate 👍ur videos are top class
Great video guys! Cheers!
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it! :-)
Nice lure
It certainly worked ok. :-)
Brilliant, I have just started taking a renewed interest in fishing again and have been watching a guy called Nick, The informative Fisherman, The principals are exactly the same, I will be watching your videos again and would only suggest two things, show a bit closer on the hooking and try and explain a bit about gear to use or links. Check this guy out, fantastic tips for baiting and techniques.
But great that I found you.
David New Forest UK
Thanks for the kind comments David, glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful :-) Hope you've been catching a few. Cheers Chris.
another great video guys
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it!
nice video, i wish i could consider £50 cheap for a rod
+davie-m You can get a nice little ultra light spinning rod for half that. I reckon you could be set up and ready to fish for £60 or so, or see if you could get a whole outfit second hand off ebay!
Cheers +davie-m glad you enjoyed it! To be fair it wouldn't be massively cheap for me either! However I think you could probably kit yourself out completely for that sort of money, rod, reel, few lures etc etc
You are right there +arcanekrusader exactly what I just said, it's amazing how much tackle has come on throughout the years! You can get some really nice bits of kit now relatively cheap.
From The Waters Edge TV
it would take me two weeks to get £50 but i have to eat as well, i think it will take me ten weeks to save up,,hence my its not cheap comment, best wishes
+davie-m
Fishing has become far too commercial these days as every thing is now driven by big business. All the massive fish of the past were taken on tackle home made and invented, by anglers who had to do a proper job for a living. Just to name two Richard Walker & Fred J Taylor. We still have that great angler Bob Buteux who is still catching dream fish on home made tackle. Making do with what you have got will not stop your catching big fish or enjoying your self! But if you stop thinking about your fishing then you will stop catching.
Awesome video very helpful
Thanks +Ben Williams nice to hear you enjoyed it and that you found it helpful! Tight lines, cheers Chris.
Thanks for the tips m8s!
No worries mate! :-)
very helpful thanks for the technic
Cheers Antonio, glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful.
Excellent video!!!!!!
lads top video just new to drop shot and sort lures .can yous help do I need to buy expensive rod reel size of rod and what best reel I got sixft spinning rod and rovex 3000 whit 15ob braid wold I go bigger just money is tight a moment. good tips in video will be looking at more.tight lines.
Thanks for the kind comments Darren, glad you enjoyed it! For this style of fishing (and for a lot of fishing) you don't need to spend loads on your tackle. You can buy some excellent rod and reels for under £50, technology has come on so much. Hope your fishing is going well, cheers Chris.
What braid is used on the reels pal ? Good video and great info.
Thanks Brian, glad you enjoyed it! I'm not too sure on the braid, I'll find out for you though. :-)
Got 2.7m 40-60g rod some time ago without knowing what I was buying that time..
Never really used it, never caught anything on it. I'm returning back to fishing.
Is it any good for start, or too heavy?
That’s a bit heavy for small jigs mate but for larger lures for pike it would be fine
Thanks mate for the video
No worries, glad you enjoyed the video!
Good vid mate be nice to see a bit of this in the sea like LRF ;)
Cheers +george luckhurst glad you enjoyed it and thanks for taking the time to comment. It's definetely something I'd like to have a go at, however unfortunately here in Norfolk we haven't got too many suitable places where it would work! I'll have a think though, you never know! ;-)
You hit that spot when the water was to low! If you'd have gone a bit further down the road, and on to the next couple of staithes you'd have been in for a chance of a very nice perch. ;)
Cheers for the info +Spartan 117-82 we did arrive there early morning when the water was still up and caught plenty, however like you say, sport definitely slowed as the water emptied and the boat activity started! Would definitely give it another go though!
+From The Waters Edge TV If you do want another crack at them, give me a shout and il point you at a couple of my spots. email is Rob117@hotmail.co.uk
No guarantees obviously but there's a similar staithe close by that's full of perch.
When fishing with soft plastics, what size rod should you go with? Like what action, length, sensitivity, etc?
It depends on what you're fishing for and where you're fishing really. If you click the tackle box link in the video description you'll see a list of what we used. Hope that helps a little. :-)
Ok, thank you!
Awesome
Thanks!
Nice tips! Congratulations
Thanks +Njord Fishing Channel :-)
Hi thanks for the vid. Q: do we use a floater and lead sinker in the line when we fish with jigs.
No worries mate! ☺️ We just used them attached straight to our leaders. 👍🏼🎣
For that type of fish, does the hook should touches the ground? why is that you were not using a bobber?
Jake Daez you dont need a bobber as the you feel the predatory fish attack the lure or jig u will feel it go tight then strike bobbers or floats uk you use mistly for course fish dunno where u live but in uk we use a bobber for roach rud perch carp bream tench ect jigging is predators in uk we go 4 perch pike zander and leisureing a weight that can free run down the line and stops and hook lengh mostly for bigger fish eg carp barbel bream on a allarm hope this hellped
Thank you
I love your videos there so helpfull
Thanks +reece mcilwraith glad you enjoy the videos and find some of them useful! :-)
is there a time of year when UL jig fishing is simply not effective? I did really well in the margin of my local canal last summer, but started going again this April 2016 and haven't had a bean so far. Even though the canals are exempt from the close season, as far as UL jig fishing is concerned, is it better to observe the 15th March - 15th June close season?
Hi +Peter Edwards I think in theory it should work anytime of year, providing the water is relatively clear. Well for it to be most effective anyway. I guess the warmer months when the fish are more active would be better too.
Doesn't jigging in clear water spook the fish sometimes? On canals when the margins are clear, I find perch in particular a bit finicky. It's like if you can see them, then they can see you. I like a bit of colour in the water, I think it helps when jigging in the margin beneath your feet. It only takes a few passing narrow boats however to turn the clarity of the water to something resembling turd soup.
Does anyone know a good micro jig fishing setup ? I’ve been told I’m looking for a medium light 7 ft pole with low casting weight paired with a 1000 size reel; is this correct ? And if so could I get any recommendations on a combo that’s good value for money? I’d like to spend max of £100 for the rod, reel, line and some jig heads; I know this isn’t a huge budget and I prob sound like a idiot but I’d love to try this type of fishing. Thankyou for your time ❤️
Hopefully someone can help, if not perhaps try your local tackle shop? Am sure someone there could point you in the right direction. :-)
Great vid could you tell me what the trace wire is
Hi +James Hopkinson I'm not 100% sure, I think it could be some Spro wire, or possibly some Drennan 7 strand wire.
What os the best line too use with that jigs? Mono multi or the invisible one
Hi Hugo, we'd probably use braid when jig fishing, it's zero stretch means you can keep in contact with the lure alot easier.
this video is very interesting
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it!
what brand of padle tails in video,those colors are awsome
Hi Sean, they're from a company called Spro.
nice video, it looks like a great sport....
Cheers +erwin philips glad you enjoyed it.
Where to find the quick change weights u were using so u can switch jigs quick
Hi Tracie, if you click the Tackle Box link in the video description you should see a list of all the tackle we used. I believe they're called the Spro Bottom Jig Head. Hope that helps. Cheers Chris.
very nice viedo,i liked it
Thanks Roni, glad you enjoyed it. :-)
I bought some lures online but they dont get into the water, they swim on the water , any tips ?
It could be that you've bought poppers/surface lures, or lures that only shallow dive. (Often with these the more you wind them the deeper they dive?) Are the lures hard lures with a vein/lip on the front?
Can i use 20lb braid and 15lb flurocarbon will that be okay
That would be fine but if there’s pike about I would use a trace
if I use float, will it work ?
Probably not mate.
gettin jiggy with it
Haha. 😁
seconds and accuracy. best tip ever
Cheers James!
thanks for the info
No worries Bob, glad you enjoyed it! :-)
And what size hooks do you use
Andrew L use 1-5 gram jig heads, if your fishing rivers increase the weight to about 7 gram
@@michealmullock4125 nice one pal
LINE/ROD/REEL SETUP
Top mister 👍👍
Thanks mate!
what kind of knot should i use ?
You can use any strong knot to be honest, a grinner knot or something like that would be suffice. Hope that helps.
Don't think I've ever seen your hair before!
Haha, no +arcanekrusader Steve does normally where a cap!
so with a jig they are naturally weighted? i.e. I don't need to worry about putting weights or a float above it? thanks from an American. I'm getting bored of fishing sinkers with powerbait
Some are and some aren't it depends on what type of jig/lure you are using :-)
SAIDsoe .
SAIDsoe you dont use floats with a lure the jig head is the weight
Brian Bryant many people use floats with jigs. If you use the float it keeps the jig at the same depth good when you want it just off the bottom or a certain depth an you know when you got a bite it is also effective when windy out if set up properly you can get it to move with the wind which can provoke fish to attack it. Look up trout magnets they are super effective with floats.
what breaking strain was the braid? great vid
Cheers Thomas glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking the time to comment. I can't remember off the top of my head what the breaking strain was... possibly 8-10lb... I honestly can't remember tho! If you click the Tackle Box link in the video description you'll see the make we are using though. :-)
Considering you can catch 10 pound fish with 4 pound mono I wouldn't worry too much. go for whatever you can spool yourself with cheap and see how that feels. With confidence you'll soon drop to much lower pound braid.
Good video
Cheers +James Mcmurrough
Hello how deep are you supposed to go with those and what fish can you catch
Hi Tyler, with these you're really only looking to catch Perch, however Pike and Zander would also eat them too I guess. These were fished to around 10ft in depth I believe, they were relatively light. You could use a similar thing, just heavier, in deeper water.
I've caught Northern pike, and Walleye on jigs
Caught a sunfish and a bluegill on it
Hi what is the trace wire called please
I'm not 100% sure Daniel, if you click the Tackle Box link in the video description it should show you. Hope thats ok. Cheers Chris.
Top video
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it!
Great vid again guys was that filmed on the Wensum ?
It's a staithe just off the yare.
It's on the river Yare +paul smith :-)
Spot on! +Spartan 117-82
+From The Waters Edge TV I'm lucky enough to live 2 mins away. Had some lovely fish from there. Get the conditions right and you can see the perch hitting the fry shoals. There's the odd pike in there too. If you fish if again, walk up the track past the bird hide and fish the inlet from the main river. There's some interesting stuff swimming about! ;)
Awesome stuff! Thanks for the info, definitely something we will try again! Perhaps we might see you down there next time! ;-)
what if the water isnt that clear? can i still use this method?
Its slightly more effective if the water is clearer, but you'd still catch if it was a little murky. If it was too bad, you might be better off using bait though.
+From The Waters Edge TV okay thanks!!!
Nothing better than jigging a country river
Indeed mate! 😊
