This is a DEADLY Spring Swim JIG Trick 

I've honestly starting using almost exclusively elaztech baits on the back of my swim jigs because it slows the fall rate way down and it makes the jig stand up when you kill it. Makes it a killer around holes in the grass and when they're roaming around beds

Mikey it was great meeting you at the ramp yesterday. My husband and I really enjoyed talking to you and appreciate your time. Great video...well try next time .

AWESOME SEGMENT!!! FLORIDA ❤

Love it , Thanks Mikey

Mikey thanks for all the great tips.

Love swim jig fishing. Good tips

Great video Mikey!

Excellent thanks!

Thank you for the tip

Learned this last year. Very sneaky technique! Important to note that when it gets really hot in the summer, this works early morning before the sun rises. After the sun and temps rise, this bite falls off. Then the wrightless EZ with a slower cadence will get bit. This is full of great info on the cadence, and what to do when a fish misses it the first time! And a great trick for huge bites.

Always great information

Excellent technique; many thanks for sharing

Great Lesson

Mikey I absolutely love this technic, I've caught some of my biggest fish doing this!

The hits just keep coming!!😁🤟

As usual some sound effects spot on!! Great tip.

I discovered this technique by accident on Lake Guntersville. It works. Thanks for the new details on this method.

Awesome video Mikey...Next time I am down in Florida I';ll give it a try not much grass on our SC lakes. As always much love to the Bogs....we miss him when he is not with you....

Learning from one of the most down to earth Nice people. Been enjoying your content for years bud keep it up.

Thanks Mike. Swim jigs are a blast anyway you fish them. I use a toad trailer on a light swim jig, same thing. Works great, I'll give the big swim bait a go.

Used to use a similar technique in Virginia at Back Bay. We used a Johnson Silver Minnow with a white or chartreuse twister tail. Needed a stout rod as Back Bay is basically 29,000 acres of mostly milfoil. I’ve had fish out there that I could get turned and they would snap the line. I’m talking 15-20 pound test. That’s heart stopping action!!!

Good stuff brother!

Never would have thought to rig that soft bait upside down. Excellent video.

Lets GO! ......... Catch alot of fish on the Gambler EZ Swimmer!

This technique got me back into bass fishing only thing I do differently is add a bandito or rage bug to as a trailer that keeps the bait rising through the retrieve but that’s really my only difference

Awesome 411 as usual

going to give this a go on the Potomac up here in VA for Snake head in the lily pads. Snakes pile up in them and the only way I have found to fish across the pads is with frogs.

If all goes well my boat comes out of shop tomorrow and I’ll be working on the tech in a day or so.

Mikey, had a tournament yesterday on Hatchineha couldn't get a bite. Then I remembered this video because I saw some heavy matted grass and pads tied on a weedless Big EZ and swam it over the tops of that stuff and they were crushing it and I ended up catching my limit for the tourney and man seeing them destroy it thru that grass was awesome. Wish I would have spent more time finding those grass patches early in the morning. Thanks for the great content man !!!

I really like the technique. I especially like the fact that you did something I was taught 40 years ago by Orlando Wilson and that is to spread that weed guard on the jig. I do that on all my jigs with heavy weed guards and it really improves the hook UPS And yet keeps the dait weedless. very few talk about that.

You gave some good little tips. Can you do you a video on skipping jigs under docks? Only if you want to.

In the deep south with shallow lakes choked with veg, a swim jig is our swim bait head! I love taking that skirt of and running it through the thickest slop I can find.

Hurry and take it down! I know where this is going, gunna give away my secret. 🤣

I caught my PB last spring on a white Dirty jigs no jack swim jig with a bandito bug on the back.

Love swim jigs, love the EZ, love grass!! This shit is PERFECT!!

What lake is in this video? Looks great

I’ll be throwing that Nichols though. I got to check out Brooks operation a few years back when I had a job site at FSU. Super chill dude.

And you're using my new favorite color EZ 😫

You're saying this isn't well known? I'm surprised if that's so. I'm a what-ever fisherman. I've been fishing swim jigs with exactly a Gambler EZ with part of the front bit-off to shorten the bait. The swim bait makes the jig wobble. It's almost like a subtle crankbait action.

Very cool video and technique! How would you rig up using a BIG EZ? Just upsize the swim jig a hook size and to a 1/4oz? Impressed how you can attack that thick cover and walk right through it!

Great video. How do you like the Lowrance trolling motor now that you have used it a while?

Going to toss one around on Seminole when the elites finish I’m going to stay an extra day

I like to cut the first half of the big ez off and use the rear end. More compact and really comes through the pads alot better. Not sure why but i think toho bass go stupid for that technique almost year round in water 4 ft or deeper. They just hammer the jig ez

I have a hard time finding swim jigs that are less than 3/16, I really want to find a 1/8 size head. Even with 3/16 there are only a couple companies that make them. Any suggestions on where to get 3/16 or smaller jig heads? I prefer to tie my own if possible.

Use the river 2 sea soft plastc swimbait as a trailer you’ll thank me

Hey Bog!

All you need is Hammonds herring. Works north to south 💯

I KNEW that was the Hammonds Herring!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL I get in that store and... POOF, money gone LMAO!

👍👍👍👍👍

I ran a smaller version today😉 Bassomatic 🤙aloha

I'm digging the Komodo alot on the back of my swimjig.

I wonder how (compared to frog fishing) how that would perform over vast Lilly pad fields here in Michigan?

Thought I was Fam.... Turns out I'm just Homie Homerson. 😔 😂😂

Homie Homersons 😂

Cool setup Dude. I've looked everywhere online and can't find 3/16oz. In this Jig 🤷🏾‍♂️

Mikey, Please respond about the 3/16 size goat. I can NOT find one. Thank You. Love Your channel

There is only ONE swim jig son! That’s the Megabass Uoze swim jig and a 4” Spark Shad! Absolutely a giant killer!

Is that a 5/16 Oz swim jig I know you mentioned 3/16 I didn't see them on gambler site on 3/16

unfortunately i only have heaviergoat jigs my lightest is half

You're speaking my language! Love a swimjig, especially when I need to fish it just under the surface of the water above submerged grass up shallow in a gill color or bait fish color with a trailer that gives a huge amount of drag. Got really good at it fishing Neely Henry in Gadsden AL just junk fishing.

I can't find a 3/16oz swim jig anywhere, regardless of brand. I'm not even seeing a 3/16oz on Gambler's site.

I don't understand why manufacturers aren't making all jigs with screw locks. That needs to happen!

Hey Brother, Gambler does not show a 3/16 in the GOAT Swim Jig on their site. Is that a prototype? You probably got it first, cause you da man?

What color is that bait?

Lol. Why are you so close to the edge of that lake? We don't see you there anymore.

3/16 or 5/16

I really hate the way they drag the fish along the top of the water i know u dont want them to jump but damn that seems really boring pulling them in like that.

I don’t think I’ve ever fished a swim jig 🤷

Ok I’m only 2 minutes in.. do you mean 5/16? You keep saying 3/16 … Is there even a 3/16 swim jig on the market with a heavy hook?

Wow , u can even spell
