Merry Christmas to all the Online Fishing Buddies of the AO Forum and a very Happy New Year to you all. May you all catch the big one in 2019!

This is my First impression using the Jigging JawJacker for rainbow trout and brook trout. Here you will see the motions delivered to the lure with each of the three jigging wheels, the underwater reaction and how it works above water. I know a lot of guys have been asking me if I have one, if I've tried one and what I think about it. I also see a recent post on it. Well here you go the all new to me Jigging JawJacker and how it works. Hope you enjoy the video. Best of luck on the ice season 2018/19.

Great video as always. I have been tempted to get the jigger, but the price is pretty steep.

Thanks for the video. Very informative.

In my mind I pictured this noisy thing that jigged in place kind of crappily. But the wheel design with different settings is actually impressive. I agree that the lower setting will be most popular but they will all have their uses. Whether or not I actually buy one I'm still debating. Probably not for now. Great demo Brandon, thanks!

Great synopsis, thanks for doing that.
I saw them in the Cabela's flyer but wasn't sure how they worked, looks like a piece of gear to watch for in the future.

So far I just have the sit on a bucket, manual powered jigger.

Yeah I can see how price is an issue. It is quite a bit heavier duty and larger than the JawJacker itself. Also comes with a carry case and three wheels. I'm guessing price may come down in time.

It's actually pretty quiet, the Big Jig Wheel does make a noise when the rod falls after the big jig. I find by rolling up the bag it comes with and stick under the back base of the jigger it helps reduce that and probably reduces transmission through the ice. I'll do some more testing, head to head with standard dead stick compared to jigger and see what happens. I think it will depend on the day though.

Haha... the manual powered jigger is an effective method still.

Thanks for watching guys, glad you liked the first time review. More to come once I get some more use with different species.

Man, I sure hope jawjacker reimburses you some how. I bought my jawjackers because of your older videos of them. Was on the fence of picking one of there jigging bases because of cost and size of having to pack more gear. But after watching your video and seeing the action of the lure with the different wheels I went and bought one today. Definitely the most in depth video ive seen of one yet. Wish I would have had it at cascade lake last year.

Yeah actually I was told that these Jiggers absolutely slay on Cascade too! Good luck if you go down this year.

This was the rest of that day when the JawJacker was out of the water. Was Kind of a struggle.

Well when I was the other week I thought I'd toss down a new presentation for trout. The 1.5 inch perch colored Rapala Slab Rap. This is a very active presentation. It has a great wobble on the upstroke and a nice moderate drop on a slide. This really seems to attract some aggressive strikes from the trout even without the use of bait. The only issue was I think without bait they slash at the body of the lure and were missing the hooks. Or at least I was missing them on the hookset. I did manage to land a few one it during this slow day. It really seemed to attract their attention and trigger aggression bites. My dad used this same lure a couple days later all day long. You will see that in another video to be released next and he caught fish on it very well that day. The last few fish are also caught with another aggressive presentation that commonly graces the end of my line, the 1/8th ounce slender spoon. Both lures attract a lot of attention from wide and far. Sometimes when the fish are in an off mood and spread out, these will focus their attention to come in and put their mouth where it doesn't belong. If you're tire of bait and wait techniques definitely check out these flashy presentations next time you're on the ice!
