Ultralight Fishing | Ultimate ultralight lure, reel, rod news

Have you tried tossing a jig lately? They are guaranteed big fish baits, so why haven’t you? In this case, we are going to scale down sizes a bit, instead of targeting just LARGE fish, we’re gonna empty the pond! Find out how to fish it!

Start by lightly flipping one of these baits using a spinning rod. Pick any spot along the bank that is different than the rest. The spots that usually stick out to your eyes are the places where bass are grouping. They like different settings too! Get the jig to softly land in the water, and let it sit for a few seconds. Give it a light hop or two to get it in motion, and then just squeeze your rod handle to make the hairs breathe a bit. The bass are going to eat it up. Most of the time, the fish will just suck the bait up, and you won’t feel anything. Other times, you might feel a light “tick”. Set the hook.

Around standing timber, and docks are also good places to toss the Booyah Bitsy Bug. Letting these lightweight baits fall along pylons, and stick ups are great for thumping bass on top of the nose. The small profile even allows you to skip the jig up underneath the dock to work it back to you. There are many applications, and I have even learned that on some days, the bass just prefer it swimming along the bottom. I prefer using the black/blue and the green/brown colors in both 1/8 and 1/4 oz depending on the wind or current.

We all know that jigs are big bass baits, but what about the smaller versions, like the Booyah Bitsy Bug jig? These smaller 1/8th and 1/4 oz models pack a mighty punch. Throwing them in a few key areas will help you catch a lot more fish. You may not catch all of the trophies in the pond, but you will make up for it in numbers.
