Finesse Jigs & MEGA Live 2

Bassmaster Elite Series Pro Bill Lowen is on Lake Lanier with Bass University showcasing the new Humminbird MEGA Live 2 transducer.

Lowen grew up on the Ohio River, where getting bites was always tough, leading him to perfect his finesse jig techniques. He likes the lure because it's appealling to all species of bass. In this exclusive class, Dollar Bill breaks down how he implements his power fishing approach with a lure like a finesse jig with the new technology in MEGA LIVE 2. He emphasizes that while the technique is called "finesse," his approach uses heavy gear for powerful hooksets for extracting fish from cover. Bill dives into the specifics of his gear and techniques for fishing a finesse jig. Viewers get a first-hand viewing experience with MEGA Live 2 and see how bass reacts to a finesse jig. Bill states that he has a jig on his deck year-round, and when the bite gets tough in the late fall into winter months, he relies on a finesse jig to get bites.

MEGA Live 2, Humminbird's latest forward-facing sonar technology, enables Lowen, even as a primarily shallow water angler, to locate isolated pieces of cover such as stumps, laydowns, or piles of rocks that he might have missed in the past. In this class, Lowen shares the color palette he prefers, which he says makes the fish "pop off the screen", and helps him distinguish fish from the cover. You'll also learn how Lowen uses MEGA Live 2 to "torment them into biting".
