Thank you Randy! I’ve used your tips this year for my recreational Arizona fishing and have had a record year for the number of fish I’ve caught. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills!
I learn so much about jigs & bait in general here, not just for Bass. Using your advice, the first cast I made with a white curly tail, I had a strike! It was so surprising I forgot to set the hook & it got away, but I was still having a blast.
I was always under the impression that plastic bait was worthless & had never used anything but live bait, spoons or Rapala hard lures. There is SOOOO much to learn with these new baits. Thank You -Thank You for teaching so thoroughly & patiently.
Thanks Randy for sharing your knowledge.
I always love your advice! Great video!
I fish mostly single day events for 5 fish. I learned a long time ago that targeting b bigger fish yields better results. 4 jig fish will outweigh most limits caught on soft plastic. A limit of fish caught out of shallow cover on a jig will still win a one day event even in the age of ffs.
Try the Duo Realis Small Rubber Jig, the finesse jigs with smaller trailer plastics absolutely crush up here in the great lakes region, I catch perch, crappie, bass, pike and walleye on them. I use the very light 1.3g or 1.8g heads and it lets them fall way slower like an unweighted plastic, or you can mid stroll them.
Thanks Randy. You always give GREAT advice!
I have learned a lot of good tips and advice from you Randy over the past couple of years. Thank you.
Amazing advice. I always fish soft plastics here in South Africa as our dams has tons of grass in my home province. Some days we catch over 30 bass in 3 hours but they are small. I will reassess wgat i do. Thanks Randy. Great video as always!!
Lekker Werner! Stywe lyne ou
@@granthibberd6069 Awesome. Dankie ou tjomma. Selfde daar!!
Hey Randy, thanks for the video today. I have always struggled with jig fishing and I’m glad to hear that it is an advanced technique. I’ll still be working on it but will take your advice and have a Texas rig on standby. Thanks again.
Great info as always. Where can we find some Blaukat old school jigs?
Randy I’m a northern boy and live next to the Hudson River. There were a couple of bass tournaments held there in the 90s and you may of fished them..I gave up on jigs because I could never get bit..I do much better here with hair jigs.. I always wanted to be a good jig fisherman but could never make it work..love your channel..you and Guido Hibdon were my heros
Check my channel out then
Good topic , thanks
Good advice Randy.
Awesome, good to know!
Another great lesson by the teacher
Great video , I throw jig a lot and plastics , this time of year on Tennessee river they jigs cause of them brim beds and crawfish lot of food to eat down here, then I’ll switch to baby brush hog to finish it off.
I want to "Catch & Cook," which isn't really the focus of this channel. I just enjoy what you have to say so much, I watch, listen and then go watch your teaching channel or a panfish/Crappie channel.
PS. If I were to hook a big bass again I would probably end up falling in with them! You guys enjoy catching giants & I will enjoy fishing for my supper.
Any update on your endorsing a rubber skirt jig? This was one of our best IA lessons. It gives me a sense of how to prioritize my choices. Many thanks.
100% agree! Jigs for quality. Texas rig for quantity.
My PB smallmouth and largemouth were both on a jig.
I love jigs I've used them since I was a teenager. Caught my pb 10.8 lbs in a river in Alabama.
great video.
I hear you saying, that you use a Jig in dirty water, over a soft plastic bait. What do you consider dirty water? Water visability i never quite understand. Is the florida "TANNIC" water considered "Dirty Water."?
Took me 3 years to get a jig bite. I honestly put it away. Then once I got tired of the worm techniques I found it a “advanced version” & a couple of weeks ago I crushed it on a jig. Caught 4 bass in a day. Since then never looked back. But I still like a good ol wacky worm 😎
Hey Randy is website where I can order a few of your jigs? I bought a few of them they work great. Wanted to maybe pick up a purple color and a few other sizes.
I always have two different size jigs on switch trailers on each untill i stop with a jig just like brush hog and baby brush hogs
I fished the All American last week on Cherokee with Brandon Medlock. Are familiar with the Medlock jig?
On jigs do you prefer living rubber skirts over silicone skirts, who makes good living rubber skirted jigs these days? Thanks for sharing.
His old school jigs we’re living rubber
@@clay7514 Does he sell them?
I have never had much luck on jigs unless they are finesse jigs.
Great idea for a video. Me personally I almost always throw a jig because just like u said the size average is so much better on a jig. Haven’t thrown a plastic this year yet
he said Fishing Bot Docks. lol #FBD
Now my question is when to use a punch skirt with a plastic as opposed to a jig. Sounds dumb but I’m curious
When your fishing grass
It seems to me that downsizing is the way to go these days. And, I'm not sure the type of bait matters. Whatver you're throwing, take it down a notch. I was on Headwaters all last week (in the absolutely BARBARIC heat). That was a 'bucket-list" lake. Tons of big fish, and it's all catch-and-release. Nothing like it in the country, to my knowledge...and I couldn't get a bite on ANY-thing other than senkos, and the occasional shallow 3" jerkbait. "They" (the Roland Martin crowd that lives on that lake) said the topwater is phenomenal, but I think that's very early right when the sun is coming up. And, this also goes back to how much fun it used to be watching the pro's "figure it out".
*Randy, I'm at the point to where I think these fish have seen too many jigs, and they don't hit them anywhere NEAR the way they used to.* So far this summer I've caught two fish since February on a jig (I live in central Florida). I ALWAYS start with a jig, and give it an hour trying different colors/trailers), just trying to get better at it, and gain confidence. And, for whatever reason, those bites (at least for me) are VERY few and far, between. It's senko's, rattle-traps (which seems to have died down in FL), jerkbaits, occasional cranks, and occasional top water. I've got hundreds of dollars of jigs (I should've bought stock in Dirty Jigs), and I can't get bit on a regular basis on them, with days I don't get a bite at all. Can't just be me!* It's a shame, because, it's a really fun bait to throw, IMO.
3/8 jig is to big for where I fish at the one is 3/16 once biggest is 1/8 once 3 inch trailer every lake is different and want something different.
Easy ,let the fish tell you what they want. Da!
randy - if those fish ain't on the bank, you're cheating - blaukat
You sound mad
Wisdom 13:1-9 is a good one to ponder while in God's Handywork 🙏 Viva Cristo Rey
Please define water clarity . Are we speaking gin clear ? Most of my under a hundred acre lakes are seepage lakes. They aren't gin clear , but a helluva lot clearer then those pea soup lakes like I see the pros fishing. I live in far northeast Wisconsin ! I live a hundred miles North of the frozen tundra of the GREEN BAY PACKERS !
He defines it right at the very end Water clarity of 1.5 ft or less go with the jig. Greater than 1.5ft clarity go with the soft plastic.
I catch em out deep on live scope ppl dont usw jigs out deep
Not fishing.
