- What's Up, Anglers!?!
Here is my version and personal use of the mini jigging technique! It is probably the most frequently asked question here at Trout Made. In this video we go over some in depth basics to get you more familiar with this deadly technique! I also had the opportunity to fish with a new friend I met at the Carp for Cans Staybent Angler event. We vibed out and decided we want to create more content for you Anglers. Check out his channel @OutdoorJunkeez

Thank you, Anglers! - Sport
Great video brother! Love the format. Camera work and sound are excellent. Well done and very informative 🤘
Thanks Seaspanker! Appreciate the feedback! MADE!
Wow just seeing this out of the box czcams.com/users/postUgkxQr1yd4Zc6qJF-scTB6Zb9dQbVpviuRxB recommend I have yet to fish with this set up, but based on the first hands on appeal, I can tell this is going to change the way i pack and carry to a whole new level. If you fish like i do, you know the smaller and less stuff the better. I’ve added a photo of just some of my gear so you can see how serious i am about fishing.
Great information as always, wish they had youtube 40 years ago, lot of what I learned was self taught. The info you are providing will definitely help anglers who are struggling or new to the sport. Stay safe, tight lines
Thanks Gene! I appreciate the feedback, always grateful to be able to help. Stay safe and happy holidays to you and your family if we dont chat.
Awesome video mike. It's great that you share your knowledge to others. You never know who your going to help out and get on the water and possibly create a new hobby for someone who might be struggling. Much love!👊🏻
Hey Graham! 😏😏😏 thanks for watching brotha!
@@TroutMadeAnglerCo are you supposed to tie a barrel swivel on..or just mini jig straight to your line???
I appreciate your hard work bro always trying to better myself when it comes to fishing thanks again.
Hey Albert, thank you. Glad this has helped you, always learning is the key. Appreciate the support.
*Used this rod recently on a river hike in NH. It performed beautifully **enjoyable.fishing** recommend as I had hoped it would, on a whole heap of river smallies using tiny torpedoes and tubes.*
Thanks for watching GET MADE
Hell yeah bro 🔥🔥 it was a great time out there . Thank you for a great experience bro ✊🏻
Let’s do it again! ASAP!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Great video for the beginner.Keep the great videos coming.

I subscribed cause I am trying ultralight fishing this year for first time I and just thank you for the information on what to do and expect. I got alot of soft plastic baits and swimbait to test and try out . Appreciate it.
Mike from Canada
🇨🇦 🇨🇦🇨🇦 in the house!!! Appreciate you pressing play Michael! I’m glad the video helped you out keep fishing my friend! Check out the made baits on my website! If you think they’ll catch some fish! 🤣 thanks for watching GET MADE!!!
Cool vid
I’ve used a very similar setup for years fishing for Trout in SoCal.
But thanks to TroutMagnetMan
I’ve switched over to UltraLight JDM gear and tackle.
Right on! More JDM is making a come up. Def not for everyone but for the angler who more out of their gear for sure! Thanks for watching!
Thanks bro I needed this for sure
Right on!! 🤙🏼 GET MADE!
My go to rod and reel right now is my 8'6" okuma salmon steelhead rod and it's paired with a whatachamp aldona 4000 spinning reel. I love this combo for it's versatility, I can throw the lightest of baits you can think of, weightless worm is one of my favorite throws, yet it can cast out a 1 oz spoon or inline spinning bait.
Try ultralight for trout fishing. You won’t go back. I love my 8’6 okuma sst rod for salmon and striper but for trout, I love my Okuma celio
@@mattnguyen1672 I've got an ultra light and love using them but for all around I'm loving my 8'6" okuma
My son loved this depth finder. He's used it for ice fishing and on his 14ft boat. Works well and is fairly easy to use. Saw fish on the depth finder, caught fish in that spot. Can't ask for more, except maybe an automatic fish cleaning option :)
Thanks 🙏 for sharing your knowledge bro that helps a lot to get into trout fishing 🎣 with. Plastics mini gigs 👍👍👍great videos
No problem bro!! Glad you enjoyed it! Get Made! Thanks for watching!
Love the Info... Fish on
Thanks Frank!! You rock bro, good looking my man.
Awesome vid. Keep the positive vibes going bro! See you out there one day!
Appreciate that polo! I hope so! 💯💯🎣
Really glad I stumbled apon this video. Only ever caught them on spinners, spoons, and power worm style presentations. With occasional jerkbaits and other bicatch bites while targeting bass.
Never had luck on the mini jig, but after watching this, I think I’m just over working it.
Thanks Ray! We talked, we should try some trout soon!
@@TroutMadeAnglerCo so down brotha! We’ll try to put something together soon for sure
Best quote... "and I'm no expert". Yeah, pretty obvious. His recommendation to flip the bail open before casting was spectacular.
😂😂😂 disclaimer for sure! Appreciate you watching and supporting! GET MADE!
Sthu
Soo don't flip the bail before casting? Lol
Seeing that everyone uses bait casting gear in the US i don't see how that is obvious for them so he did good mentioning it. It's like saying don't forget to change gears in a stick shift car
Awesome video brotha, keep that content coming. Thank you for the shout out. 💯🎣🤙🏼
Thanks Chris! Appreciate that motivation bro very much! Let's set something up and fish soon!
This is a great and informative video. I’ve had really good luck with sierra slammer mini jigs in lakes like Dixon and sarl to NorCal like pardee and even further north like crater lake and lake almanor.
Awesome! I want to take MADE BAITS to other CA waters. Jigs are deadly! Thanks for watching!

Awesome video man. Thanks for sharing. I've been fishing Gregory for years....it's been pretty poor the last few years. Hopefully they bring that fishery back up to where it used to be.
I hope so too! I've gone a few times over the years seems like it can be an epic lake. Thanks for watching!
I just found out about lake Gregory this week and saw they’re stocking it this week. Hoping to try it out next weekend. Bit of a drive for me coming from LA but if they’re biting it’s def worth it lol
Great vid!

Great tips for any Angler who wants to give mini jigging a try! Good stuff bud!
Thanks Jason! Its worked for me kind of HAHA Let's get on the water soon. Headed to Bishop soon?
@@TroutMadeAnglerCo dam he ghosted you.
Hahaha!! He hit the DM!
LoL
@@TroutMadeAnglerCo lol that’s great. You guys should make a video together.
Nice vid bro !!!🤙🏽
Thanks frank! 🙏🏼🙏🏼💯💯🎣🎣
Great vid. Try putting your index at top rim of spool and hold line there instead of on the rod. You get farther cast and can stop bait whenever for pin point accuracy. 30 years ago a guy who taught me to fly fish showed me. Works way better. I know it's hard to change but it's worth it. Recently subbed to Golden State. Great channel. Just got a new 7'6 ul okuma California paired with 1000 size diawa. A guy at Turners convinced me to go diawa instead of shimano. For the price Diawa is better for spinning reels. I'm sold. 5lb power pro 2lb leader. I'm sold. Cast like a charm
Great tip! I'll give it a try! Appreciate you watching! GET MADE
I LOVE TROUT !!!
Thanks for the video. Trying to pay attention but the kayaker in the back is going in slow motion. Love the vids keep it up, GET MADE!
HAHAHA The beauty of raw video! Thanks Anthony!
Great video 👌 just caught my first trout on a jig! Great setup but for me I use a Piscifun or Okuma Inspira reel because I’m not spending $200 bones for a reel. Dope videos though 🔥
Gerardo! Congratualtions!!!! GET MADE!!!! You def don't have the spend a lot to get made!

Already bought myself a few things with great results but waiting this Friday to buy the 150 piece set as Great way to start my Memorial Day Weekend 👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣🥳 Always Great to see you filming around Lake Gregory, hope to run into you while I'm fishing there but continue with these Awesome fishing Vids Mike 👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣
Thank you Julio. Hope to fish with ya this season!
How I learned was buy the lure and try different techniques with it . There was no utube back then .
I get dome funny looks from people when they watch me catch fish by using something like a roostertail , but working it on the surface of the water when fish are after flies . I show them how i do it and they get excited with the fist fish .
You should come to maine and fish for native brook trout!!! Incredible fish and I've used a couple of your tricks and it does work
Hi Christopher! Maine is on the list!! I’d love to head that way! Hopefully next year things get normal I’ll be doing more traveling! Maybe you can put me on some fish?! When’s the best time to fish those brooks?!
And thanks for watching appreciate the support! MADE! Keep catching)!

What braid to leader knot do you use with this setup you’re using in the video. Also 3 pound braid to 2 pound izorline xxx? Or what line are you using?
Sup Money!?! I use an RP knot! Yes 2lb izzor or whatever you prefer 4lb floro also I use lately! Thanks for watching 🔥 💰
the special technique of shadowboxing went over their head. dope wu reference
Yo Christian! Don't know how I missed this comment! FIRE! Thanks! It for the kids!
had to look into trout jigging after meeting the cmljigs dude the other day
James is a cool guy! GET MADE! Hope this video helped!
Great video!
Couple questions..
1. Why the food gloves?
2. What's your take on salted jigs? If you have used them, do the trout seem to take and keep them longer?
Hey Cody! The gloves are for the cold, they’re nitril gloves also use for catch and release no harm to the fish from our hands infection etc. salted jigs…never used them they can be an option! I know scent helps sometimes. If they want it they’ll take it! GET MADE! Thanks for watching
@@TroutMadeAnglerCo I've been fishing since before I had a memory and never even thought of the gloves. Haha! Good point.
I'm going to try salted soon and get back to you!
would snap jigging it off the bottom work for rainbow trout? have you tried? this technique is used for walleye fishing mainly
Yea I think so. Play around with the technique and you’ll find what they want and how they want it! Thanks for watching MADE!
Awesome Trout fishing 101...Are you going to Santa Ana River lake this weekend ? Big Sierra bows are stocked today...good luck bro
Thanks Mike! Appreciate the support and views! No not this weekend, I only go about once a year they stock every week so not really missing much! GET MADE!
I would say a reel with a good drag system is a must because of the 2# test. I would feel more comfortable with 3#...and in clear water like in most Sierra lakes, 4# is probably too big even if it's fluorocarbon...
Gotta know the drag. Great point!
Hey man, good stuff! I'm from northern California and we got some awesome wild trout fishing up here along with stocked as well. My 5 year old son just cought a 4 1/2 pounder last week. I've seen 7 1/2 pounders come out of this same spot and all wild... If you ever want to come up here and fish let me know! The main reason why I am writing is I want to know where I get my hands on one of those California trout rods? Be well!
Hey Brother John! Can you email me troutmade@gmail.com
So rad!!! 5 years old?!? Wicked!!! Appreciate the support and motivation! The rod you can get at any Turners Outdoors! Be in touch GET MADE!

Which knot do you use to tie the leader to the braided line?
Hey John I use an RP knot! Thanks for watching
Really informative video man! Im trying to get into mini jigging more and I felt like I couldnt cast far at all. 8ft rod, 4lb line, 1/32oz jig. Were you using a 1/16oz in this video? Idk if im doin something wrong when I cast my jigs lol
It sounds like you're doing it all right...what kind of rod and reel?
Try 2lb? Shouldn't matter though. 1/32 or 1/16, I was using 1/16.
@@TroutMadeAnglerCo Ok so switched to a 7’6 rod w 2lb test and now im casting a lot farther! Think I found the right setup
@@DeadPool9206 I have 7ft Ultralight Daiwa Laguna rod & I can cast 1/16oz About 40 yards 4lb bps monofilament good freaking line I've caught bass on that monofilament
@@shorelinefishingmafia6133 Thanks for the tips! I recently switched to 7’6 Daiwa Spinmatic, 2lb test and I can cast way better now. Hit my first limits on mini jigs @ DVL the other day
Hi, nice video. I have a question if you would kindly reply or if someone in the comments section knows. What is a good ultralight or sul rod that is also longer and available in Europe too?
Hi Mihai!!! All the way from Europe!!! Wooo! I’d try Phenix Rods out! I primarily use that brand and is available or can be delivered to you in Europe! Tackle warehouse online is also a good place to purchase those rods! Thanks for watching!!!

First rule,is you have to look 😎 cool.
I keep trying it cool ain’t happening! Ha! Thanks for watching!
how do you connect your braid to mono?
Yo GettinBENT!!! I use the RP knot slim and strong for the guides. Some use FJ also.
Does that line work well for throwing spinners?
Yes it does, but I’d go 4 lb test instead of 2 Thanks for watching GET MADE
where can you find the juicy beaver rods for sale?

What lake was this filmed? Great video
How do you tie your leader to your braided line? Do you attach straight on or use a swivel?
I use an RP knot. Get Made! Thanks for watching!
@@TroutMadeAnglerCo how come u haven’t made any videos lately.
Just asking thanks for the response
No worries. I’ve been on a personal break. I’m editing again, so I’ll have some videos up soon.
Do you use any specialty knots or just any end of line knot?
I use an RP knot. Albright works too.
Thanks for watching! 💯
Whats up bro! Angler from up here in the NW. Have you tried twitching sculpin jigs for trout? They're slayers! Cool to see how you guys fish for trout in SoCal.
How do you tie your mono to your braided line?
I use an RP knot. Get Made! Thanks for watching.
So a 5 foot rod won't work ?? The rod I just bought is 5 foot and I got specifically for mini jigging for trout and crappie :/ does it make that much of a difference
Hi Erick! Thanks for watching! I would say yes a little too short for my liking for lakes, that may work still but I'd go shorter rod for fishing rivers streams and on a kayak or float tube. Have you tried?
How do you cast a micro jig that far? Mine drop about 15-20 feet in front of me
Hey Thomas thanks for watching! I took a little break thanks for the patience! Wow not sure what’s going on there. What setup do you have? Line rod reel?
Spinning reel, ultralight 6 foot rod, 10 lb braid with a 4 lb flouro leader
Dixie wrecked 🤙🏽
Oh yea!
What about your Line twist. When you use Mini jig?
Great question. I haven’t had any problems. The job doesn’t spin like a spoon or spinner bait appreciate the question! Thanks for watching GET MADE
What connection knot do you use im late but this vid is good 😂
Lol no worries. I use an RP knot. Get Made! Thanks for watching!
Will a 7 ft rod do?
It may not be long enough, but try it out and see, you'd be surprised what 6" can do. Thanks for watching GET MADE!

Hey Ttoutbandit909! Glad you enjoyed it! Get made!
Hello Trout Made Angler Co., just wondering if will ever make it to California?
There are some really good lakes out in California.
Hi Gary thanks for watching! I live and fish in California!
Trout Made Angler Co., got your message here. Thx. I love fishing, and was wondering if maybe we could meet up one day,when this pandemic is over?
What brand rod are you using?
Phenix Rods. Get Made! Thanks for watching!
Is this Gregory lake?
Yes it is GET MADE
I just don’t know how you can tell if they’ve “sucked in” the bait - how subtle is that initial take?
If you’re fishing blind the bite is most often super subtle and can sometimes be hard to detect.
I fish the jig in all waters and it gets bit so much I rarely fish anything else.
Here are some tips that will help you detect the subtle pickups.
Try to fish with the wind in your face so your line falls straight. If there’s no wind or light breeze fan cast to cover area. A straight line is key.
After casting mend your line. Let it sink a little then close your bail and let it sink down without doing a thing. Most pickups are on the drop. Keep your rod tip as low to the water as possible. *Watch your line at the tip, pay very close attention to how the line sinks. If you see the line twitch, shoot out or do anything that seems different than the natural sink wind fast and set. Hope this helps.
Tight lines.
This is awesome! Thanks for stepping in, I've been slippin' LOL MADE
Hi NQ! Yes the bites are very subtle, if you watch underwater footage of trout eating on YT you can see how fast they can detect whats real or not with a quick sip! I watch my line, as well as feel the rod's sensitivity. I use braid to mono leader which helps a lot to detect those bites!
Where’s the Dixon opener content mate? It was fire this year, even with a new stocking company
What’s up Mike , Bro I am having such a rough season so far. I still have yet to get made this season.. skunked all season , I’m trying all different types of baits and techniques , but nothing yet my man.. I won’t give up but frustrated to say the least. Been out maybe 4-5 times , Dixon , DVL , HEMET , I need to get made my man.. what do you do when your in a slump ?
Hey Cristopher! First off, I Appreciate your support thanks for watching! You're still getting MADE bro! Just having some adversity. I've been through and we all go through it everyday fishing and life. And all you can do is keep going. Cause if you stop, you won't catch a fish, ever right? This season I've skunked twice and got one, then hit limits. My last outing I caught one. Just keep fishing, keep casting thats the only way to get out of a slump. I don't have any superstitious methods LOL but sometimes, taking the pressure off yourself and remembering you're there to have fun and enjoy the outdoors helps me. You will GET MADE! Thanks again!
What type of gear are you using
I'll try to give you some advice
So you using 4 pound braid and then 4 pound floro ?
Yessir I believe in this video I usually use 2lb now. Get Made! Thanks for watching!

I use to buy Golden State jigs but I made a suggestion on one of his videos and dude acted like a total jerk and was very disrespectful to me. He got cocky bragging about how he knows better because he "ships all over the world". My coworker seen the comment and brought it up while we where fishing. I ended up using my buddies Crappie baits and haven't looked back.
I'm sorry to hear that, in Estevan's defense I know he's a good dude, so maybe just miscommunication IDK but do you. It's all preference at the end of the day, it's all just plastic. Whatever gets you MADE! Appreciate the support! Shoot me an email for a sticker, sorry for the late reply.
That doesn’t seem usual for Estevan sometimes he is passionate but I’ve never seen a rude comment from him. Maybe you took it the wrong way would you like me to talk to him about it?
Cool video bro very informative pimp sh:t !! Any way quick question the black gloves?? Can them fish smell that good ?? Just curious help me out maybe that’s we’re I’m wrong I get em in pbaits all colors spoons and spinners I’m trying to learn mini jig never worked for me I’m a central coast Monterey bay angler so usually mcalpine best for a quick session, please help me out your homie from the 831 bro
Shouldve showed em bout the drag brotha. Good stuff tho. Important part ks to get made
Daaaaannnnggg! Good point, very good point. I think thats a whole video though in itself. Thanks brotha!
Yes drag Is very important!!! Good video
More info on the Rod please
How's it going Bob!? Sure thing! I'll be working on it!
The first comment got deleted 😑 but dope vid👌🏾
Thanks 🤙🏼🎣💯🔥
Just went with the 3lb braid like you recommended and my line keeps getting tangled in the guides. I used 4# floro and i initially used FG knot (i use for all my bass fishing) so i switched to double uni knot and it still keeps happening. This doesnt happen if i run straight floro. What am i doing wrong? My set up is a 7'6 Phenix Elixir paired with a Stradic 2500. Help please. great job with your videos! Hope to run into you soon.
Hey Dan! Appreciate the support here on the channel! I’m not sure what could be happening. Check that the line is put through the guides correctly. Only other thing I can say based on the info you have is that your reel is too big? I know it’s not a big difference but that’s the only thing difference from the norm trout setup.
If braid getting tangled try 4lb bass pro shop monofilament
I can’t find that rod your using help me out
You’ll find juicy beaver rods on Instagram. They are awesome.
Any long ultra light rod with good reviews will do. Amazon has an 8 ft ultra light for $39. You can pair it with a Shimano Sienna 500 or 1000 series for another $30. $69 trout setup. I believe its the Berkley Lightning Trout Rod. I just ordered it, it has great reviews. Pair that with 2 lb izorline in the smoke color and ur set
Yup on IG. Check em out! But again don’t have to break the bank! Thanks for watching!
True dat!!! 💯💯
Idk about an 8-9 foot rod for trout, geez?? Lol we catch monsters in New Mexico on 5 ft poles in the lakes and the rivers. I do use a 7ft pole for bait fishing and I dig it for the big boys…. But casting shouldn’t be a problem on a smaller pole. Sensitivity in my pole is what I like with lures and flies…. Its all in the wrist baby…….
Everything comes down to angler preference and experience. In my experience casting a 1/32 oz jig is tougher on a short rod. I have family in New Mexico hoping to fish it next year! Appreciate you watching GET MADE!

You mentioned once a down payment to replace your Phoenix rod you broke a tip on, how much did they make you pay to replace the rod? That’s right I broke the tip on a Phoenix elixir less than a month old and was wandering… they offered to put on a new tip on, it’s 3” at the break, I think having two eyes 3” apart will mess with the cast ability, and we’ll it’s just getto!!!!!!
Hey josh! Thanks for watching! I paid $60 for the warranty. But mine was a one piece. Is yours two piece? If so, you can get the top piece only $30 I believe 🤙🏼💯
@@TroutMadeAnglerCo it was a one piece, I perfer one piece with my personality keeps me from adjusting it all day thinking it’s off center! turners hooked me up though, I shop there pretty often, so since I just bought it (liderally my first trip the lead eye found the crack at the corner of my tailgait in the bed of my truck!) anyway they exchanger it for a new one and only charged me a buck😆 and sent the broken one back and told them it was damaged in the transport! They even let me exchange it for a two piece as I saw it’s going to be an ongoing challenge moving forward. Hope to fish with you someday soon, I went up to green valley not to long ago with rob aka sea spanker and it was a slay day! He invited me last minute up to eastern Siera this weekend, I was like dude that’s not a drop everything and go trip, got gas and hotels, maybe next time, that is where my fishing journey started as a kid though! I’m a San Diego guy fishing Santee, Dixon, and WOLFERD, at least in the off season when I’m not killing triple digit tuna… I know it’s weird that I enjoy both sides of the spectrum!!!
