DUDE so true, i live and die by the bitsy bug, its my secret at my local pond. Several 3+ pounders and a 20" PB on this little guy. Just make sure not to treat it like a big jig if you're fishing for bigger fish... they will bend out. Set the drag :)

That little setup works great around the dam near me for Smallmouth it just skips along the rocks and they don't miss it like the bigger jigs.

I’ve been singing the praises of the bitsy jig for a couple years now. They make one in pumpkin/orange - add a swimbait trailer and it’s an excellent bluegill imitation- I fish all spring through the bass and bluegill spawn with it. Also my fave trailer for crawfish imitation is the Christie craw from yum.

I've never been a jig fisherman but the past few weeks I've been dedicated to learning how like technique I make sure I throw a jig 75 percent of my time fishing its been brutal for me ive only caught a couple but I'm sticking with it because it's an all around bait and I could cut down on some baits while walking banks I want a go too bait besides the senko but man its frustrating

1/8 oz Bitsy Bugs are deadly on river bass (3-5’) on med/light spinning rod and 6lb mono. IMHO Your bait cast tackle/line is a little heavy for the lighter jigs I use. 12 lb line is far from the “finesse” fishing I like to do. You’ll catch way more by downsizing your tackle even further from 1/4 oz to 1/8 jigs on thes 10:12 e cold water bass. Try 3” curl tail trailers (instead of “big floppies”). They offer less commotion on these cold water bass and you’ll have better results. Happy fishing.

Tyler, i just watched the video again. I fish 90% of the time with braid here in South Africa as our dams in my home province has a LOT of grass in them. I also fish mainly with 30-40 pound braid to prevent my line braking. Works really well but i am worried that in wintrr with the extremely clear water we have i am not going to catch many bass as they will see my lure. We fish flukes a lot in winter with some success but i want to do more jig fishing this winter. What would you advise me to do? 20 pound leader perhaps?
@budgetbassin407

I'm in upstate NY. I feel like 40 degree water, in April, is considerably tougher to fish, than 40 degree water in Oct/ Nov. Does that make any sense? I surmise that they are more "chilled through", from the long winter, where they may be more "refreshed" in late fall. Thoughts?

The BITSY BUG CATCHES FISH. I know this from a lot of experience loved the video bro as always
Sup. I have a bitsy jig havn't used yet. The big river that runs through RI has a spot at bottom of street, I'm sure I mentioned it because doesn't freeze. It's about 75yds? Before a waterfall, might be good casting it right before waterfall? And like you did when cought that lil bass stayed with it, remember you saying sometimes have to catch some lil guys to get the big one, really pick it apart lol. Hate when they piss on us lol. Notice the gills are redder in cold water? Hmm. When it's cold catching any bass warms you up a bit.. Ty tc

I love the bitsy bug 🤘 I pretty much always have one tied on either a black and blue or a green pumpkin. If they're not biting my bigger jigs I'll pick one of those up and go through the same areas that I threw the bigger jig in and it's almost a guarantee that I'm pulling bags of fish out of those spots. And the cool thing is big bass bite it to as you proved in this video.
