Read on to find out what jigfishing really is. Jigs are heavy lures that have lead heads and hooks. The length of the hook will depend on what bait you use. For minnows, shorter jigs can be used, while for worms, longer jigs can be used. Clear water is best for brown or black heads, while murky waters are best for colorful heads.
Grass jig fishing
Traditional jigs still work well for bass fishing but anglers can now turn to swimbaits as a way to attract them. You can quickly cover large amounts of water with a weightless baitfish jig and create a realistic baitfish profile. A swimbait, such as the Googan Squad Grass Hero, is designed to glide easily through slop and penetrate thick vegetation on fall. Its paddle tail trailer makes it ideal for fishing in areas with weedy vegetation.
Football jig-fishing
Known for its action and versatility, a football jig is a perfect choice for open-water situations. Because of the football's unique structure, it lends a sense of movement to the Rage Craw, a baitfish that resembles a crawling creature. This causes crawfish pincers to move into defensive mode, triggering a reaction strike. This jig makes things easy for fish to feel and triggers reaction strikes.
Flipping jig fishing
Flipping jig fishing is another option. This fishing technique is ideal for fishing close to brush and heavy debris. You can adjust the depth of the bait from inches to feet. A heavier weight jig will increase your chances of hooking fish. Flipping jigs offer a great hook up ratio and can be fished with many different types cover.
Grass jigs
For jig fishing in grassy areas, grass jerkbaits can be a popular choice. They can slip through vegetation better than other jigs. A grass jig's head has a cone-shaped shape with the eye located at the top. The shape and size of grass jerkbaits allow them to penetrate vegetation without needing hanging.
Flipping jigs
Many flipping jigs have chip-resistant heads that can be used in areas where the bait may hit rocks or sand. The stand-up flipping is a jig that sits on the bottom and gives the impression of crayfish. To get through weeds, a heavy-duty hook is essential. An aerodynamic head will reflect water and encourage weedless presentations.

Statistics
- About 40 percent of all fish are freshwater species. (takemefishing.org)
- For most freshwater species you are most likely to target when first starting out, a reel size of 20 to 30 should be more than enough! (strikeandcatch.com)
- You likely have a fish hooked if the bobber moves erratically for over 5 seconds. (tailoredtackle.com)
- To substantiate this theory, Knight attempted a systematic inquiry by considering the timing of 200 'record' catches, more than 90 percent were made during a new moon (when no moon is visible). (myfwc.com)

You must first know how to cast a fish rod. To ensure that the rod is parallel to ground, it should be held at an angle. Move the rod forward by keeping the rod's tip perpendicular the water.
