3 Jig Fishing Tricks To Catch Bigger Bass This Summer! Beginner To Advanced!

Summer jig fishing is a great way to catch big bass! In today's video Matt starts off by simplifying jig fishing for the angler that just wants to build confidence in the technique. He demonstrates jig retrieves before diving in depth into how to adapt your jigs to changing conditions, how to stroke a jig, and how to adapt trailers for Summer bass fishing.

Jig fishing is one of those techniques you can dive as deep into as you want. It can be as simple as a single jig in a great color that you use effectively throughout the year or it can be taken to a whole different level. It can also be taken to the max with different styles, colors, and retrieves. Stroking is a prime example of how a jig can be adapted to get bigger bites. In today's video Matt explains how to stroke a jig then takes it a step further and shows a simpler way to adapt the technique when fishing flats.

Its up to you to decide how in depth you want to take your jig fishing. Below is a breakdown of the baits, trailers, and colors Matt discussed in the video. He also included the jig combo he was using as well as a few alternatives at different price points.

If we like the video? We love the videos, Matt. You are the master bass educator. I'm 81 and still have a thirst for more. You and Tim always provide the best teaching available anywhere and it's FREE. Best deal ever, thank you.

I want to thank you for th3 helpful tips in fishing a jig. I went out this morning and decided to fish with a finesse jig and caught bass all morning long, this is the second time I've ever used a jig and used your double bounce technique and helped alot

[tbaz]

Most informative fishing channel on YouTube. Hands down y’all.

[bobbarnhill]

Matt’s technique is spot on!
I trim the skirts back to allow the trailer to move as designed. I fish a jig year round now. It’s my favorite bait by far.

Thank you Matt for teaching us how to stroke a jig.

[adamlightner]

You guys rock awesome tips and techniques I’ve learned so much from you guys thanks 🙏

[JohnSmith-qjbn]

Been working in my jig game as well.. just caught my first big bass on a jig recently and want to learn how to fine tune my skills.. thanks for the great tips and keep up the great videos!

[larrystolzman]

Awesome Matt, just what this 70 year old fisherman needed. Can’t wait to try it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[zukothegsd]

So good seeing you on a southern lake. Going to be more relevant to what I fish.

[DiamondHead]

Awesome stuff

I’ve only dragged or occasionally popped it

Now I will try these new techniques thank you

[impendingdoom]

Matt, you are a fishing DICTIONARY! For some reason I never thought of the effect that that cold/hot water has on some of these baits action. AWESOME jig tips! Thank you for your INCREDIBLE content brother!!!

[Speedmark]

Thank you for this video. Very well done and greatly appreciated! Very thorough and articulate, and I appreciate that you demonstrated the techniques at the same time that you were discussing them. I have recently begun focusing specifically on catching bass, but I have not been clear on proper retrieval techniques for various jigs (although I have had moderate success doing it “my way”). After watching your video this morning, I hit the lake specifically to modify my retrieval to the bump/pull technique you demonstrated, and I very quickly hooked a largemouth, and then had one shake off on the very next cast. Needless to say, I was very happy to feel like I might finally be doing it a better way. Thank you!

[jakestevens]

I really like watching Matt Allen fish. He’s probably my favorite. Wish he would come out to Georgia.

[dabearsfan]

BTW "Tacticalbassin" has got to be one of the best (if not the best, ) fishing channels on YouTube. Between them and Bass HQ. Great info for beginners and pros!

[fisherofmen]

I would like to see an in depth video on "punching" a heavy jig in grass. Great video as usual!

[NorthernKayakAngler]

Thanks guys, ever since I started bass fishing I’ve bought items you’ve recommended and everyone has hands down worked for me! Things I went out and bought on my own, never do lol. thanks again!

[CanadianBasserman]

Been looking to improve my jig game! Thanks for the tips! Will put it into action soon!

[ladder]

Excellent advice. Fished a swim jig using the tricks in the video and caught a PB tonight.

[chadd]

I love your dock videos! Show and tell style

[midwestfischerman]

Matt and Tim, please consider a video focused on the big bass that STAY SHALLOW as summer comes. I'm in the Midwest fishing from shore in small natural bodies of water. However, in YouTube I am seeing lots of videos across Manu channels about deep water legde fishing far offshore in southern reservoirs. It looks interesting, but those videos pertains to me the same as saltwater tarpon fishing videos.
