Largemouth Bass Fishing Tips - An Oldie But Goodie

Jigger-Poling

Remember Jigger-Poling? It became popular for a while in the 1960's. this is a technique where you use a 14-foot pole with a stout 30 pound line attached at the handle and tied at intervals along the pole to the tip. A two foot length is left hanging off the tip of the pole and a big top water lure is attached with a swivel.

The technique is gyrating the handle of the pole is such a manner that the tip of the pole wiggles in the water and the big bait is also activated in a thrashing manner . The effect from underwater is that the disturbance caused by the tip of the pole in the water resembles a smaller bait fish swimming and skipping for its life from a larger fish - the lure. This chase scenario often excites bass to attack the lure.

The long pole enables the tip and the lure to be dipped into small pockets in weed beds and timber to entice any "lunkers" that may be there.

Moving slowly along a shore line or a weed bed, an angler can reach and explore every hole and nook. This technique allows the angler to keep the bait in the fish's strike zone longer than with conventional cast and retrieve methods. It also allows access to tight pockets that are impossible to access with a cast.

The strikes triggered by this technique are reaction strikes and often a bass that is not in a feeding mood will go ahead and take advantage of an easy meal passing through his living room.
