The three best things I got from this book are the jig must fall straight down to trigger the most strikes, you must be a keen line watcher to detect stikes; especially soft strikes, and third jigs catch bigger fish. I've proven this third statement to myself over and over again.

I enjoy jig fishing, and thought I would pick up this book to help out with my technique. I find the book to be good overall, but outdated in some aspects. It just reads like an older book when pertaining to equipment used, and jig material and trailers. It is almost 20 years old. But it does cover all the basics, and is one of the only books out there about jig fishing, so there really isn't an alternative, If you are into jigs, and can't find anything else to read about them, buy this book.

I recommend this book if you are a jig fishing novice, or don't fish bass jigs, but would like to. If you're a proficient jig fisherman, you probably won't find much new material here. Call it "Jig Fishing 101", if you will.
Brauer takes the reader through proper jig selection, including size, color, skirts, trailers, etc. to match the conditions you're fishing, as well as equipment and techniques, and seasonal adjustments. Understandably, Brauer touts the jig he helped design for Strike King Lures that bears his name. I've used them and they work well. However, other jigs on the market also incorporate many of the design features Brauer deems important, such as a horizontal line tie, sharp needle-point hook, etc.
The thing I like about Denny Brauer is that he speaks to us in simple terms that anyone can understand. He's a good teacher. And most importantly, the man knows what he's talking about. For those who don't already know, Brauer is widely regarded as one of the best jig fisherman in the country. He's made his living doing it, as a professional bass fisherman. Why not learn from one of the best?
Like any other fishing technique, nothing can take the place of time on the water, but once you catch a few fish on a jig, your confidence grows, and like me, you'll have a jig tied on for each fishing trip.
Brauer's book is a worthwhile beginners guide. Hope this review was helpful.

I have read this book cover to cover and found it to be highly informative. One of the things that surprised me that most about this book is the level of insight as to what is going through a jig fisherman's head during a tournament.

The book is an easy read but the information about jig fishing for bass is rather basic. For the novice bass jig fisherman, I think the book would be very helpful. Appropriate tackle such as line, reels and rods are discussed as well seasonal approaches to jig fishing.
Overall, I thought the book lacked in detailed information. The diagrams and maps were quite rudimentary and Denny Brauer talked quite a bit about how his jig by "Strike King" is superior. Plugging his product prevented him from detailing how different jig designs might be a better choice in specific situations.
If you're an advanced bass fisherman, I can't recommend this book but if you're new to using jigs for bass, this book is a good start.
