Swim jigs made easy!

Matt gives quick tricks that you can use to take your swim jig fishing for bass to the next level! If you’re a spinnerbait or chatterbait guy, the swim jig is the next step.

When combined with the proper trailer the baits come to life with amazing movement and flash that bass can’t resist. Don’t get caught shaking your swim jig this Summer, learn the proper technique and catch more bass! In recent years, most swim jig fishermen have begun to use a keitech as their trailer.

While this can be effective (and we often do it) its not the ideal swimbait trailer for a swim jig. Switching over to baits like the Rage Swimmer or D Walker will complete change the way the bait moves.

A properly balanced swim jig with the right trailer will have head bob/roll, body rock, and skirt movement/flash without you imparting any outside action to the bait.

Summer time is the perfect time to learn the swim jig. This time of year you can get a lot of bites on the baits but you can also catch GIANT fish!

Again, the key is selecting the right trailer. Below is a breakdown of the jigs, jig trailers, and equipment we use for swim jig fishing.
