If you don't understand the value of Swim Jigs, this video is for you! This is an incredible technique and you need to be taking advantage of it! Swim jigs imitate panfish and shad better than traditional swimbaits and when you understand their purpose, they become an irreplaceable part of your arsenal. Here's what you need to know!
Swim jigs come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and they're not created equal. Understanding head shapes and hook strengths is just as important as understanding the difference between a chatterbait and a spinnerbait. Pay close attention as Matt details his jig and trailer pairings so you can use the best combination for your fishing conditions.
Below you'll find links to the exact jigs, trailers, and gear that Matt discussed in the video. He's even included his favorite weights and colors for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

@icatchfish9387 22 дня назад

I've watched a ton of TB videos over the years and picked up a lot of great tips, but Matt talking about "crashing" a swim jig through heavy cover has definitely been the best one. Caught so many big fish just rippin a swim jig through weeds, usually it gets a lil hung up and as soon as you bust it free it gets nailed by a 3+ pounder.

@HBeretta 21 день назад

man you guys continue to bring the fervor; this happens to be my favorite technique. swimjig masterclass?...hell yes...all eyes on you. the piece where you get into throwing the heavy rig aka California swimjig and plowing through grass is the deal. I stole similar from Carl Jocumsen throwing a 1/2oz molix swimjig with a 5.5" xzone swammer and the countless 5 lbers that hit it is insane. that megabass uoze swammer pairing at 22:00 in is obscenely filthy AF! anyway, thank you for the usual high end content...seriously what a vid!

@nathanmiller2521 23 дня назад

Matt turned me onto this years ago when I went on guided trips with him. At that time the trailer was a robo shad, that trailer was discontinued years ago. Glad I bought a ton back in the day. Still my favorite bait for the ca delta

@davidhidalgo5662 23 дня назад

If you are a river smallmouth fisherman whatever you do absolutely do not use missle baits mini swimjig in GP and brewgill paired with Xzone swammer 3.5 in warmouth and perch. You will hurt your arm setting the hook and reeling in fish. This combo is like magic. Tried last year Thanks to Matt and was shocked. The fish went crazy when they wouldnt even look at anything else. I mentioned this last year because it is insane how well that pairing works. Thank you again Matt.

@jeffsouza683 22 дня назад

Matt, I always love the in-depth wisdom of you videos. I often have one question though when you are fishing braid to leader. I typically fish a long leader for a spinning application, but what length do you use when fishing swim jigs, jigs, or wobble heads?

@tacticalbassin 22 дня назад

Typically 6-10 feet. Not as long as spinning, but still quite long.

I live between Lake Cumberland and Dale Hollow Lakes.. Typically I will throw 3.4-4" on flashy swimmer etc.. These always seem to do well this time of year. I am starting to play with larger swim baits 5.5 Swammer, 5" spark shad, 6" bag draft freestyle 6/0-8/0 hook range. My question is I have the Expride B 7'6" XH, is that rod too much for these larger swim baits? Also have the 7'2' Heavy and Med Hey..... Really enjoy this episode because of trying to build more confidence in larger swim baits and things of that nature.

@billskinner8149 23 дня назад

Matt I have a question. I noticed that the paddle tail is facing up on your jigs does that work better with your particular setup. Other videos I have seen by other fishermen have the paddle facing downward.

@tacticalbassin 22 дня назад

We often run paddle tails wrong side up on chatterbaits, but never on a standard swim jig. That has to do with a vortex that is created by the chatterbait blade, interfering with the swim of the tail.
