| Tightlining Defined Tightlining is not a complicated new term or technique in bass fishing. My definition of tightlining is simply this; Casting a small 1/16 or 1/8 ounce jig on 4 pound line and a medium 7' spinning rod. The angler must maintain a "tight line" while shaking the rod tip and retrieving the jig slowly, on a controlled slack line, allowing the jig to fall as a pendulum, back to the boat. |
| Favorable Conditions To Tightline Late fall and early winter or anytime water temperatures are less than 55 degrees F. and the clear water impoundment contains smallmouth or spotted bass. |
