jigs 101- for Muddy man 2025

Low_Budget_Hooker reply :

I know a few of you folks out there are looking to learn jigs a bit better this yr. I put together a few quick minutes of video for a very brief intro. This shows how I use a jig. I don't pitch or flip at my lake as the only stuff to flip or pitch to is the bank and I am not a shoreline fisherman, I prefer the deeper water structure, targeting the bigger fish and avoiding the more abundant , aggressive males, that own the shoreline.

So here's a quicky for you, a few things to think about when picking up your jig set up. FYI- this isn't anything special or even well done, just something I threw on video for muddy man last time I was out.

JIGGIN'

Low_Budget_Hooker reply :

You calling me "simple"??? ;D ;D

guest reply :

Thank You Much Russ! Jigs are my May Challange, it probablly will be a lot longer til I get one ;D

The only 2 approachs I have used is the Popping and Dragging I will use what you showed on the vid. I don't know about the Jiggling your tip suggestion, back in St Josephs grammar school the nuns warned us about that sort of thing

Written transcripts of show please??????????? ;D j/k

Dial-up out here in the boonies deprives me of the luxuries of a high speed connection :'(

thanks LBH! I plan on working on jiggin' this year as well so I really appreciate this, it was very informative.

Pa Angler reply :

Nice video, Thanks. The streaming seems to be eratic though I've got high speed and it was up and down maybe the site was having high traffic volume.

Low_Budget_Hooker reply :

You're welcome guys. Maybe I could do one on pitching and flipping for you also, I'm not the best at it but I'm sure I could give it a shot.

If any of you proficient flippers and pitchers want to shoot me a PM, I could use some tips and suggestions of how to illustrate the techniques, things not to forget,etc I'll pay a little more attention this time, like I said, I was floating and throwing the jig anyway so I just turned the camera on and winged it,lol.

If any flipper/pitchers who are video ready would like to step in and make it, that would be cool too. If noone is interested though, I'll make one.

Anyone?

guest reply :

No more Rod Jigglin though this is a family oriented site you know

Gotta Love It reply :

Great video Russ! Very informative!

Catt reply :

Yea I'm calling you simple & that's a good thing when fishing jigs

buckdawg reply :

Thank you! That was very informational.

Long Mike reply :

Russ, you just produced the kind of video that I've always wanted to see, but seldom do. The hand and rod action was very informative to a realtive newbie like me.

I would very much like to see you produce a pitchin & flippin video - using spinning gear.

Will the flippin and pitchin video include baitcast equipment ?

I suppose I could do both.

MyKeyBe reply :

"Here fishy, fishy." Never works for me either. ;D

Great info though.

RoLo reply :

Now that's my idea of an informative tutorial

I don't believe I've ever seen a cram course demonstrating all four major jig presentations.

Super job Russ, you covered all the main bases and you did it in Jig Time

guest reply :

Outstanding.

Very generous and creative.

I was really hoping for you to get hammered but unlike Bill and Rowland you can't condense a day of fishing into one quick video.

Thank you,

avid.

That makes two of us Avid.

That's the part of jig-fishing where I need the most help ;D
