So most of today's baits do not come with trustworthy hooks unfortunately. They often use the least expensive hooks and I do not feel comfortable using them. Most of the time any of the crankbaits, lipless baits, top water walking baits and even popping baits need to have the treble hooks replaced. I primarily use 3 different types of treble hooks. I use a premium round bend hook, a triple grip, or a finesse light wire round bend. Each treble hook has a purpose and a reason to use it. I really like the finesse round bends on jerkbaits and the light wire round bends really help get a good hook in the fish when they are swiping at the jerkbaits instead of actually inhaling them. The standard round bends are great for all other baits like topwater baits such as walking baits. Of course my favorite hook type is the triple grip and it really pins these fish most of the time. If you are using the right rod and line you should hook up most of the fish if they are biting at the bait well. The most popular sizes for my treble hooks are size 2, 4 and 6. I also carry treble hooks in black/bronze and red colors.

This was my first time fishing on Wilson Lake and I promise it won't be the last! What an amazing fishery. I have heard a lot of great things about the fishing on Wilson Lake which is part of the Tennessee River and I seen some pictures of the monster bass my buddies have caught on it so when Epic Eric had a free afternoon while down in Alabama we decided to go check it out! This was his first time down here as well so we really didn't have a clue where to start. We new that the seasonal pattern would be swimbaits for pre spawn smallmouth and perhaps some largemouth and spotted bass. We used a swimbait that we have high confidence in and that is the True Bass Swimbaits. We didn't have a lot of time to explore so we headed up near the dam and decided to look for obvious current breaks and transitions. Once we found some areas that looked good we went to work. We had 3 giant smallies and would have been on our way to a huge 5 fish limit but just ran out of time! I promise we tried!

How to use a Hair Jig to catch monster Bass! Big bass love the Hair Jigs. Make sure to hit the SHOW MORE to read more descriptions of this video! In this video I go over all the ins and outs of the hair jig. I specifically talk about the finesse hair jigs that work great in clear water for smallmouth bass, but I also touch on a great technique to use on cold water largemouths. Finesse hair jigs made out of marabou, bucktail and bear hair are some of the best ways to put big smallmouth bass in the boat year round. The marabou hair jig really shines during colder water temps but does work year round under certain conditions. The hair jig is a great bait to use around heavy fishing pressure, cold fronts or really anytime you feel that a subtle approach is the key. I use hair jigs a lot and after many years of trial and error I found some of the best ways to use the hair jig. Fishing a marabou hair jig has been a long kept secret and until recently really hasn't been talked about much. Many big tournaments have been won on hair jigs and to this day still play a key role in many tournament wins. I would highly recommend picking up a few hair jigs and giving them a try on your next trip to a clear water fishery. It doesn't take long to learn how to throw a hair jig and the rewards can be some of the best catch fishing days you may ever experience! I primarily use a marabou hair jig and a buck tail hair jig. Each has there time and place and I would suggest using both and experimenting with the retrieve and how you work the hair jig back to the boat. I also talk about the marabou drop shot bait that is becoming one of my favorite techniques year round. The action of this bait is amazing and it will catch fish when nothing else seems to be working! I am currently working with a company that I will be announcing shortly to produce a high quality marabou drop shot bait with the correct hook size and action so as soon as these are available I will be putting up the link here in the description for you. Give the hair jig a try this year and let me know what you think about them! What king of success have you had on the hair jig? Leave any comments below! Look forward to hearing from you!
