One of the Most Deadly Bass Fishing Technique's in the WORLD 

I love that he's on the professional tour and still wide open to learn new things as well as be as informative as possible

Thanks for the tips Jacob. Never miss a vid bud. Always great stuff.

Thank you so much for including the underwater footage. Makes such a big difference

Thanks for the tips JW. I love Jig Fishing. Keep up the great year you have going.

very informative. I like the breakdown of swimbaits and craws, it can get a little deciding which one, ya over think it. U da man

Always enjoy the tip videos man!! 💪🏼

Lots of great info, needed to hear and good demonstration on how to use the swim jigs !

Great info! Been watching you, DC, Mdj and others for quite awhile now. Y’all have some awesome content in your vlogs. Definitely helps this amateur out. Keep’em coming.

Sometimes I like to slow roll my swimjigs over the top of rocks just barely hitting them. Then give it a little pop up once and a while during the retrieve. Works really well. Swim big is my confidence bait. Love your content

Always great stuff Jacob! Thank you!

Great video Wheeler. I am addicted to the swim jig. I have trouble trying other presentations for too long when that jigs does so well for me here in MN. I even sometimes use a snap swivel when I am around pike, it helps me from losing so many lures to those sharks. Seems to create just enough distance from the line that it doesn't end up in their teeth. I am sure I don't get as many bass hitting it, but it saves me money. If i was in a tourney i would have trouble justifying that philosophy. Thank you sir, and love watching your videos and watching you compete. Congrats on a phenomenal year!! Cheers.

Thanks for the stroll done swim jig lane! Super informative, I tend to throw either a craw or swimbait trailer. I like fishing braid but utilize flouro carbon 15 pound for most clearer water situations.

Great vids man I learned so much from you keep up the good work

Thanks I'm learning how to use them. Great tips.

Great explanation in simple terms. Thanks, much appreciated.

Thankyou for all u do!!!! your content made this old man a lot better fishermen really wanta see u nail the classic this year would bring me to tears 💪💰

Good info . I can't wait to try them...

Great video as always and I will be adding your techniques to my repertoire. I have only ever straight retrieved a swim jig with 20+ # floro or 30+ # braid on a 7'3 to 7'6 MH with success. In the past, I would use a swim jig with a craw style trailer, but this year I have started using Paddle tail and zako swimbait style trailer.

Awesome video. I really needed this video. Ty for going into deep detail. I use a swim jig with a keitech swim bait for smallies in rivers or whenever I can find current over rocks and crawl it ever so painfully slow. I caught 4 small jaws over 4lbs last year in the West fork river here in West by God Virginia. That's a big smallie around these parts and not a huge river. Thanks again for the info. I had often wondered about the Alabama shake.

Great info! I felt like I was in the boat with you. Thanks for the lesson!

Stunning and very informative video! Thanks Bud!

Great Stuff Jacob! Love the "alabama shake", that yo yo method is typically my favorite when fishing through heavy cover. Underwater footage is key! Killin it!

Thank you for the knowledge brother!

Good stuff JW, keep it up!

Great video I like how you show us the retrieve techniques.

Has anyone ever asked you to slow down, damn speedy. Love the info, Thank you

Great video man! Thank you!

Bluegill swimjig with purple swim senko trailer has been my go to. Love the tips and videos Jacob 🙏

Thx bro for the tips helps every time

Great video I learned a lot, thank you

Well done. Very thorough system.

Love your videos man you inspire me to be a pro bass fisherman just like you

This was a badass video🎣 Those subtle pump and shake techniques should be very helpful👍

Yes! I needed this...

Great video really like the underwater footage explains a lot with visual.

Watching for the 3rd year in a row, always useful info and there's always some little detail to pick up. Thanks for the info dump. Good luck at the next derb.

Entertaining and informative.... Never change Jacob 'The Animal' Wheeler.... Never change

Awesome love your channel I appreciate your content some of those bass were really nice chunkers great job!!

Great video nice tips

Good stuff Jacob! 🦃👊🏼💯

For shallower dirty water one technique i like to use is a 3/8 to 1/2 once darker colored (black/blue or balck/green) swim jig. i trim the skirt so on the pause it flares more agrresively and fish it similerly to a crank bait. I skip it under or through thick cover to the bank if possible and Immediately start the retrieve reeling at a medium to fast paste to keep it just off the bottom the key is to direct the bait so it rams into any available cover. Doing so makes the bait flare and change direction Like a crankbait and thats when ur strikes will happen.

Thanks for more information. You are definitely the best fisherman anywhere right now. What a roll your on. Keep up the great work because I definitely know you put in the time. Maybe some day I’ll see you at your favorite Mexican food spot I think.

More videos like this please!!!

Hey man thanks for the tips! Fish alot in Watts bar think these tips will help with the heavily pressured fish.

Digging it, thx bud

I love watching your videos on my home water! You missed an awesome derby a few weeks ago just ask Dan the man😉 Don't worry your invitation stands hopefully it works out for 2021 we'd be honored to fish against you JW !!!

Thank you sir! Awesome knowledge! Awesome video! BABAAM!!

I really like your videos. They have great content. I like the fact you explain every aspect of your thinking process during your explanation. You include the why I do it this way. I really like when you say the baits name and why you use it. I'm going to copy my entire swimbait system to exactly how you have yours. THANKS for the great information, keep making videos.

Swim jigs are easily the most underrated bass set up outside of slow bouncing Texas Rigs. Great video man!

Awesome video bro. I posted on DC channel to make a video just like this about a month ago. Thank you so much for doing this. So much great info. You are truly the best at your craft. Love your channel. GWG

Just caught my first fish on a jig after so many tries. Talk about a rush. These videos really do help. Still at times get confused on if it's a bite or getting caught on something at times.

I was about to look up how to use swim jugs but then I saw this vid. Perfect timing

Heck yeah!

I do love me some swim jig fishing! I fish a Dirty Jigs swimjig with either a 3.3-3.8 Keiteck Fat, a River2Sea Dwalker, or an Xzone Swammer swimbait trailer. Killer combo!

Thank for it video

Great tips. My question is do you trim weedgaurd like on a standard jig? And one tip I have is try throwing an 1/8 oz white swim jig when fishing rivers matchup with a 3” pro blue/red pearl swim bait. Killer in moving water.

Good info sir! I caught 11 bass ( one 7lber) the first time I ever used a swim jig in a spot (with 2 cameras rolling). Ima have to try a white one.

I have year round success running a jig a lot like a tube. Just a nice scoot and pause on the bottom anywhere where bait is hugging low. Twin tailed grub is a great all around trailer.

Those swim jigs really are a staple on the boat deck when im on lake Toho. I will literally have 4 rods dedicated to swimjigs and when u find em in the Kissimmee grass theyre always stacked up.

Awesome video, thanks for the info. I’m new to bass fishing. What type of gloves do you use and how do you keep the hook facing up? New sub here.

I'm using a swim jig 90% of the time. Zman finesse frog trailer has worked grate for me.

I like running it about a foot off the bottom in a similar way that u do the alabama shake I really like doing that with a 3/8 or half with a googan swim jig combined with either a berkley soft ribbed swimbait I think that swimmer was made for chatterbaits but works really well

GOAT!

I use Krackin craws on jigs chatterbaits and by itself because I like the width of the claws and action as opposed to some other craw style baits that are to wide or not any action

My wife and I really enjoy the entertainment value you bring to MLF. You definatley are one of our boys! Ahhhhh ding!! I notice in the video you do not trim the skirts back to the hook like many suggest. Have you found this to be the most effective? I am over here on Lake Istokpoga for the Winter months. Fished here Winters for the past 4 years with waning success on plastic baits. Thinking of going heavy on swim baits this year. Thank you sir.

an incredible good swim jig for keeping it easily at the top and going through lily pads is the booyah swim jig with the arrowhead even in the 3/8oz or 1/2 oz, very easy to keep it up , even really very slowly and riggin a paca craw on it and using superglue to hold it even better, thanks for all the awesome videos, we just need more ''dings'''!!!

Jacob you got any tips for Swim Jig techniques and setups in Stained muddy water? Thanks

I use a few different swim jigs, I like the old school, strikeking sexyshad down here in florida,and blk blue both 1/4 and 3/8.i use the gambler swim jigs w the braid, and the sk jigs with floro 15 lb for clear open water. I use yum cristie craw for the craw trailer, and a flat top boot tail swim at for the swim trailer. Both can be cut down for matching up bait size. I prefer the floro if it's Brite out in stained or clear water, and the single layer skirt has better Secondary action with the shake...now the gambler jig has starflash round ru ber skirt that flares more like a regular full skirted jig, and with a agressive paddle tail w flat top creates more jig skirt pulsing ,and flaring. I don't trim out the inner skirt. For this setup I want the bulkier profile to look like a big pan fish or brim.and this jig draws big strikes! Less bites. And I fish these on a 7ft1 med hvy w a 6 to 1 reel for deep stuff, and 7to1 or higher for hvy cover,or around grass mats or open holes.retreives I keep simple, the cast and reel w rod tip shake,and the pump and glide w a few quick reels then kill it,which I use in edges of shade and Reed cover,or ambush points or pads and pockets.the craw trailer I use around rock and wood more to emulate a craw.and the swimbait is for bumping into padstems,or cover to create the reaction strikes. Great bait for when they go back.out to secondary points to recover after spawn, even shallow ponds have them pushed out deeper or mid lake. I find them where the contours first drop from.a shallow feeding flat to open water.or just outside the grass edges or elbows of the bank dropping off to deeper water. Edges are the important areas to target in small ponds with little or no cover.if I can dupe em on just a swimbait I'll do that to fish faster w winder. Conditions and use the vmc ballhead to a paddletail swimbait in 1/4 and 1/2. Works when it's got more surface chop and cloudy Conditions. The faster fall gives no time to inspect the offering, and flees like a escaped fish.

great job on Lake Cumberland in the FLW. What were you throwing there?

Out to pick up some more lures 🙃 do you know if your rods will be restocked or you’ll ever come out with a different version?

Love the thecnick the show

Do u ever use the berkley power pro braided line it the only one I've used that doesn't seem to wear out over rocks as fast

Could you do a grassy pond or lake video?

Hey Jacob do you use a fluorocarbon leader on your braid? And if you don't, do you color the first couple feet of braid black with a magic marker? I've heard of guys doing that. Wondered if you do that stuff.

The that terminator jig in the same color pumpkin orange and nashville sexy..and love the booyah mob boss

Good content. I enjoyed the information on swim jigs. I could not make out the names of the 2 different swim jigs you mentioned at the end of the video. Can you give those to me in a reply? Thanks

Jacob, Do you throw straight braid on those or braid to flouro leader?

Sometimes I use a 5-inch grub as a trailer for swim jigs and bladed swim jigs but haven't heard of any other anglers using them as trailers. I was wondering if there's a reason I shouldn't use grubs as trailers for these types of baits? I've caught fish on it but it's usually on the initial fall.

JDub question that I have is, Do you ever trim the weed guard or do u leave it? I’ve always cut mine a little, Even cutting in an angle . Just wondering your thoughts on cutting the weed guard.

Great video JWheels! What clues you in to throw the swimjig instead of chatterbait or spinnerbait?

Good stuff! I started to get comfortable with a swim jig last year. Scattered weeds, weed lines, ledges, and deep docks. I usually bulk up the profile in staind water to displace more water. In clear water here in Michigan, white with a 3.8 or 4.2, has caught a ton of big bass, smallmouth and largemouth! Skirted jigs I prefer braid, everything else is fluorocarbon, 12-17 lbs.

Jacob, What is the finesse jig you were throwing in MLF Cup event in Texas?

Do u recommend Turing the trailer sideways or keeping it regular?

Try a Menace grub as a trailer

can you add more info of how you use your graphs, like showing what us what your looking at on the graph. close ups. Mark H

What size jig do you normally throw Jacob

Hi , can u use a heavy xfast rod for chatterbait and swim jig??

@wheeler fishing you nearly beat tom monsoor earlier in the year on his home lake and many consider him the godfather of swimjigging. he runs qtr oz swimjigs on 12# fluoro. he reel sets to land his as well. what are your thoughts on his technique of no sweeping hooksets and light line used considering it contradicts basically every how-to youtube video on swimjigging?

Just was wondering why you where the gloves with half fingers....do they help protect soft hands....or do they help keep from getting calises from the Fishing rod grip.
