What I enjoy most from your videos are the little “seeds” that you plant in my mind that will “sprout” while encountering various situations in the future. Retrieving just below the water’s surface is one such gem from this video.🤙👊👍😎
I love to fish a swim jig especially in ponds because it is so weedless. Your videos are always so informative yet they are compact which makes it easy to find the main points in the video. Keep up the great work, Tyler!
Go get yourself a Dirty Jigs finesse swim jig in bluegill and pair it with a Reaction Innovations Little Dipper in the Sungill color and go make some hay! Far and away my best and favorite way to catch 'em in the weed choked ponds here in N CO. Hang it up in the grass and rip it out, swim it through the laydowns, sit it on the bottom and wiggle during the bluegill spawn. If you ask me, a swim jig is the very very best search bait one could ask for and gets bites when you cant buy one with anything else! Huck and wind, burn and pause, slow and steady...it all works
Thanks for pointing out that swim jigs are jigs! I've been saying this for years! I always have one tied on. They one of the absolute best baits for heavily pressured waters. My son and I were out fishing and recording video the other day and he caught his nicest fish of the day on a 3/8 oz swim jig. Beautiful fish. It got a prominent spot on my latest post.
Love your videos man been watching for a long time. Glad you did a swim jig video. This is something I want to get more confident with this year. Always helpful and informative
I’m a huge fan of the swimjig! Very versatile! That said, I don’t use craw trailers, swimbaits only! Dwalker 120 Largo Shad 3.5 Keiteck Fat 3.8 Only swimjig I use is the Dirty Jigs line up! Give ‘em a try🎣🤙
Thanks for the info, Tyler... great content, really enjoy the channel. Swim jig is one of my favorite techniques. I love on a small, shallow, weedy lake and it's an excellent way to fish that body of water, so thanks for the tips! Keep up the great work, love it!
I caught a nice 3+ pounder pitching a swim jig with a Keitech trailer into a laydown because it was what I had tied on. That paddle tail on a 3/8th oz swim jig really gives it a nice slow fall.
Hey Tyler: Last summer, I began using exactly those Freedom Tackle 3/8oz black/blue swim jigs and they worked great! As for trailers, my Strike King 4" Rage Structure Bugs were getting torn up, so I switched to ZMAN Hella CrawZ. Same action with much better durability.
How do you work a swim jig as a football dragging ot across the bottom. Never would have thought you could use a swim jig as a dragging, or flipping jig
I'd appreciate your input on this. I can slay them all day with swimjig or chatterbait with a paddletail but I dont have luck with a craw ever. Ill admit i have zero confidence in using a swim craw because it just doesnt make sense to me. A craw doesnt swim endlessly, so the few times i've tried and was unsuccessful i changed to a paddletail and immediately catch bass. Is this just a mental thing i need to get over?
Craw trailer (ZMAN Hella CrawZ) on a swim jig swimming it slower and letting it sink to bottom a few times on the way in works great for me. As for paddletails, they're still my favourite but I prefer fishing them weedless on a belly-weighted swimbait hook, not on a jig.
I see you like those Ark Tharp series rods. Have you used the B-Hittay? I have one and it’s amazing for chatterbaits and lipless cranks, which are my 2 confidence lures. It’s an amazing rod for $130 and by far my favorite rod I own. Give it a shot if you haven’t already. I think I’m going to check that money maker rod out as well.
Did anyone notice at 7:35 in the video there was a huge boil behind Tyler over his right shoulder??? I was like jeeze! Great video! That’s one of my confidence lures up here in Ohio because we have a lot of grass and other aquatic vegetation.
