The most misunderstood jig head in bass fishing isn’t just a forward facing sonar bait, and in this video we break down three ball head jig rigging methods that catch winter bass both with and without LiveScope. If you think a ball head jig is only for a jig head minnow and FFS fishing, this video will completely change how you fish it in cold water.

About this video:
In this bass fishing video, we take a deep dive into one of the most versatile and misunderstood baits in bass fishing: the ball head jig. Using an American made tungsten ball head jig from Pulse Fish, we cover three proven ways to rig and fish a ball head jig for winter bass fishing, including jig head minnow techniques with forward facing sonar, tight lining and float-and-fly style presentations without LiveScope, and old-school grub and swimbait methods that still flat out catch bass. Whether you fish with LiveScope, forward facing sonar, or no electronics at all, these ball head jig techniques work for largemouth and smallmouth bass in cold water. We break down rigging, retrieves, rod reel and line setups, and when to use each presentation to catch more bass during the winter when bass are pressured and finicky. This video is packed with practical bass fishing tips, winter bass fishing strategies, jig head fishing techniques, and proven methods you can use from the bank, a kayak, or a bass boat to catch more fish all winter long.
