How to Tie Fishing Jigs

Video Transcript

"Hi! This is Mark The Shark in Miami Beach, Florida from marktheshark.com. On this clip, I'm going to show you how to tie a fishing jig on a fifty pound monofilament line. Here we got a nice feather jig, weighted jig. You want to do was go through the eye of the jig. I like to use a fishing knot on this as well, take about seven or eight turns on this and this is directly to the main line right here, come over here and put it through the loop, do it nice and wet, nice and tight, want to cut the end off a little bit so it doesn't interfere with the action of the jig. Okay, we got like about three or four foot of leader, this is like fifty pound test. We're not using any wire on this 'cos we're not looking for any fish with teeth and then you can put a swivel line in the end to this which I prefer and tying the fish knot is not on this and then I want to finish with this. This can go right to your main line on your other rod or your spinner rod or a conventional rod and you're ready to go. This is the fishing jig on a four foot leader, ready to go. If you don't want to use a swivel, you can just put a loop on the end of this, just tie a little loop on it just like a surgical knot here, go in this twice, once and twice, got a nice little loop here and put this on your end of your swivel and you're ready to go. I'm Mark The Shark, thanks for watching."
