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.

Not only learning about jigs in this video.. but also presentation in general.

@YoutubeMastersDegree 3 года назад

I was out at Clear Lake, CA the last few days and I threw a strike king jig with a craw trailer that a gentleman at "Clearlake Outdoors Tackle shop" suggested, and I hooked more bass in 2 hours than in my entire life. Thanks for the great videos.

@elmadriz 4 года назад

Hi, I have been fishing on and off my whole life. This year I started again, now older I’m more patient and I have put in some time. I have gotten really good at fines with a fluke, I catch a lot of fish. I mostly bank fish and fish canals of my paddleboard. I live in south Florida. I wanted a technique so I could fish the bottom , with the fluke I can’t get to the bottom efficiently. I started experimenting with jigs two weeks ago, minor success. Dragging a jig on the bottom. I saw your video this morning and sure enough I had a few swim gigs. I grabbed one white and green and used a 360gt storm search bait as a trailer. I got 4 fish over 3 pounds and 4 fish that were around the 2 1/2 mark. No mini bass. And like you said , throw and retrieve, no jerking just setting the hook every time I felt a bump. Thanks for the video. Great info , I learned a lot from you.

@everettfuller3571 5 лет назад

I can always count on you guys to post right when I’m getting to the lake on super early mornings, freakin love it.

@KameHouse512 4 года назад

Dude I had to pause to make this comment. I’ve been fishing for years but recently got into the bass game. I’ve watched tons of videos and you’re the first angler that has really broke it down for us to understand how this bait works. I’ve really learned a lot from this one video. Thanks man, keep up the great content!

@laylow8648 5 лет назад

Wow, Awesome Videos. Better than any other TV Fishing Shows and or Magazines. I like the detail explanations. Many other sources leave out that last little bit of information. Matt Allen goes the distance explaining so anyone can understand. I’m learning something each time I watch.

Something similar happened to me.....I think you may be on to something lol.

@Nick-te4kl 4 года назад

Matt I believe that you were born to do instructional videos for fishing. Everything to teach comes out so natural and sounds like you put a lot of time into your passion to give us the best content you can.

@manofthehour9938 11 месяцев назад

Very first time in 40 years decided to use a jig bc of you guys. Threw a 3/8oz strike king swimjig shad color with a 6thsense black bongo3.5 trailer from a rip rap bank into about 20 ft of water in the middle of the day last week … my very first cast ever using one…. 5lber on the dot choked it immmeditely. BTW this is in NY mind you so a 5 is alot harder to catch ! Instant new favorite bait. Thanks guys!

@jbirdfishes 5 лет назад

the knowledge ive gained from this man since ive started bass fishing a little over a year ago is incredible! really appreciate taking the time to make these for us peasants 🤣

@therise620 4 года назад

I haven’t used the swim jig yet but theoretically the versatility it offers is second to none. And when you think where you should primarily be fishing. Which is in cover. This has to be one of the best moves

@williamcarroll9607 4 года назад

I like most about your videos is that you take the time to break it all down to where anyone can understand a apply the techniques that you use. Thanks Matt, you guys are the best.

@Anillo2 Год назад

This is the best instructional video, of how to fish a particular category of lures, I've ever watched on RU-vid. Even though I'm a bit late finding it🤣, still worth the watch. Matt, you've quickly became my favorite fisherman to learn from. You do a fantastic job. Keep up the great content!

@ajwenzel6276 5 лет назад

Twin tail grub all day on a swim jig. Basic but deadly. Great content brother

@CallahanHarry44 5 лет назад

I've had good luck with the twin tail on a chatter bait also.

@bobbarnhill8557 5 лет назад

Aj Wenzel Try a strike king rage tail craw! It works even better. Swim it or crawl it. It gets hammered!

@ajwenzel6276 5 лет назад

Funny thing is that’s what I use when I’m going craw pattern. As far as a chatterbait, I use a zoom super chunk. For some reason it’s jus different enough to get a few more bites.

@coledaughdrill7619 5 лет назад

Over the years I've learned to really look forward to these types of videos, where you're just sitting down teaching. Your experience and knowledge shows, unlike so many who are just selling baits.

@bobward7489 5 лет назад

You are 100% correct Matt, my swim jig game went up 100x once I figured out the trailer deal. I make 3 styles of swim jig and each one has its own type of trailer that works the best with it. Fishing the Mississippi river often, a strong swim jig game is a must.

Would love to see a best bank fishing baits or something similar to help out you boatless subs! Love the vids

@DRUCO316 4 года назад

This bait right here is good from bank.

@jontharpe1275 4 года назад

@Stoney Lonsome honestly the angles a boat makes is a huge difference. you can put it anywhere you want, while bank fishing you almost always only get a 45 degree angle to cast because of the tree line.

@HuntHardFishHard 4 года назад

Stoney Lonsome there’s different aspects of every pond or lake, big fish are in the harder to reach spots that need a machete here in west TN. We learn to skip and flip loooong distances! And if we get hung up we are basically screwed...

@jessebrooks5346 2 года назад

I fish from the bank and these jigs are spot on.. I use a small jig when the grass is tighter to the bank.. A bigger jig in the summer to get a little deeper when its supper hot... Im in Indiana and use a regular spincast reel it has 14lb Berkley braided line and haven't been let down yet... Blues grays and silvers are your freind this time of year... Good luck and good fishing

@whiteboy00769 5 лет назад

About eight years ago I got back into bass fishing. Where I'm from it's spinnerbaits, crankbaits and plastics all day long. I would go to places with thick vegetation and get annoyed I couldn't fish because the slop was in my way. Then I found your channel and learned about swim jigs, punching and frogs. Completely changed my bass fishing experience. I fish cover 90% of people avoid and pull fish out. When I'm asked what lure I'm using and I say, "a swim jig," I get a puzzled look and they just move on. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your knowledge and experience. Because of the information you shared with me on your couch (it was an OLD video) I am a much better angler.
