Why Rigging Swimbaits on Swinging Jigs Excels

Swinging jigs are a top choice for anglers when fishing hard bottom areas. Not unlike a crankbait, they can be fished fast and are designed for making bottom contact while a free-swinging hook allows the chosen plastic trailer to move naturally. Unlike a crankbait, the jighead and single offset hook allow the bait to be fished effectively at multiple depth zones without retying and is much more snag resistant than dangling treble hooks.
Crawfish profile soft plastics are most commonly used, but Wired2Fish's Ryan DeChaine shares his reasons why a quality swimbait pairs excellently with a swinging jig. He breaks down where he fishes it, his preferred jig and swimbait combination, rigging, and rod/reel/line specs for the job. Like crankbait fishing, it's important to observe casting angles relative to the structure so you can make repeated productive casts.

Never would have thought of this presentation. Awesome.

@Wired2Fish 5 лет назад

Thanks man. Good luck out there, hope this produces a few for you.

@MrMcHoodoo 5 лет назад

I just discovered this video today. It is a year after this was originally published; it is not a common practice for me to comment on post that have been around for a while but this time I must! This is yet another outstanding video created by you folks @Wired2Fish! I love the content and production of this video; really great stuff! What I enjoyed even more was Ryan's presentation of the information. Great job Ryan! Now, I need to get out there and give this a try! Sorry this comes so late, but thanks again @Wired2Fish!

@Wired2Fish 5 лет назад

Hi Jay, appreciate the comment. I personally started fishing swinging jigs around 5 years ago and it's been fun experimenting with new plastic pairings. Paddle tail swimbaits have been excellent. Have a good one - Ryan

@MrMcHoodoo 5 лет назад

@@Wired2Fish thanks for your comment and the tip! I haven't experimented with paddle tails on a jig much, mostly craws and beavers; now that will change! Thank you Ryan!

@geraldbalciarjr651 6 лет назад

Thank You. I well practice this more this season.

@greatwhitesfishingadventur2273 6 лет назад

That was excellent information ..... definitely going to give this a go 'Down Under' .. Looked KILLA !!!! Cheers "down Under Mike"

@zachbratz2915 6 лет назад

Love your stuff you have been an inspiration to me

@feralgrandad4429 6 лет назад

Genius, going to try this here in UK for big Perch! Thanks.

@zacpdx 6 лет назад

Weird, just researching this. Have incredible results using creature baits/biffle bug, looking forward to Saturday and throwing this!

@Wired2Fish 6 лет назад

Good deal Zac, let us know how you end up. The swinging jig thing is kind of like Neko rigging - you can experiment with a bunch of different plastics and keep learning new and better ways to catch fish. Have a good one - Ryan.

@boomn216 6 лет назад

I am a big grub guy but have tried the Swim Bait as well and love it too. These produce some good Walleye too.

@Wired2Fish 6 лет назад

Thanks for sharing. Gotta try the grub on the swinging jig.

@brucer9409 4 года назад

Very impressive, can't wait to try this technique! In trying to guess necessary weight for depth you were fishing, I'm guessing you were using either the 1/2oz. or the 3/4. Would u mind sharing that info to help gauge? I may be "bottom bugging" for smallies in 18 - 25 feet, also using straight 15# FC. I'm guessing sparse (weed) cover is ok for this technique, but the fairly solid weed beds would not lend itself to this style.

@Wired2Fish 4 года назад

Hi Bruce, thanks for the comment. I was using the 3/4-ounce in this video which I use exclusively in water > 10' deep. Please give this video a watch for what I feel is the ultimate deep-water swinging jig (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mkknAFoB4FE.html). Although the Tokyo Rig is not technically a swinging jig, you'll be amazed by your ability to maintain bottom contact with a 3/4 - or 1-ounce tungsten dropper weight. Yeah, a little grass is fine but you'll start fighting it when you flirt with full-fledged weed beds. -Ryan

@steve4321able 5 лет назад

Thinking of using a big keitech swimbait on that. Your thoughts?

@robertpatterson3406 4 года назад

I mainly have been using easy shiners 4&5" and they are awesome.

@chrishimstedt9542 6 лет назад

Awesome stuff always with new ideas.

@wilmartin4686 6 лет назад

Awesome. Thank you. Real nice action. Gonna try it. Thanks again

@Wired2Fish 6 лет назад

You bet, thanks for watching and let us know how it works for you Wil.

@Realwobbler 6 лет назад

Great setup! Nice, fat smallmouth at the end! 🎣👍

@leerburgclassics3088 6 лет назад

Really nice job

@miamiwax5504 6 лет назад

i really wanna try this in saltwater but with big 8 - 10 inch swimbaits. always getting snagged in the inlet.

@BassGeek 6 лет назад

That's a great technique I love a swinghead anyway. You should put a 5in senko on it. damn son.

@fishin2themax245 6 лет назад

Appreciate sonar explanation

@Wired2Fish 6 лет назад

Thanks, much better video gaming in the outdoors and putting together a good fishing pattern.

@fidangyang1995 6 лет назад

Hey Wired2fish! Do a vid on the Jika(zika) rig!

@west777s 6 лет назад

Great vid! Any idea on the weight of the swinghead he was using?

@Wired2Fish 6 лет назад

This was the 3/4oz. I use it about 90% of the time in order to get deep quickly and keep the bait near the bottom during the retrieve. I'll go lighter in shallow water or when a slow retrieve speed and light head are required for tentative fish. -Ryan

@west777s 6 лет назад

Thank you Ryan! I was figuring it was a 1/2oz or better.

@BENSTACKIN365 6 лет назад

Damn good information!

@outdoorsinminnesota4100 5 лет назад

What size hook do you use for 3.5 to 5 inch swimbaits ?

@Wired2Fish 5 лет назад

Hey #Outdoors in Minnesota. The biggest one I can get away that still fits the particular bait. Typically a 3/0 for a 3'.5' bait and a 4 or 5/0 for a 5'' swimbait. In this video, a 5/0 was right for the 4'' Spark Shad being used.

@outdoorsinminnesota4100 5 лет назад

Wired2Fish ok thanks

@gregc2621 6 лет назад

First. Nice. Been doin this for a while. Works on largies too.

@Wired2Fish 6 лет назад

Yeah, we smoked largemouth doing the same this summer. Just a flat out bass catcher and easy to fish. - Ryan

@foxpaws42 6 лет назад

Been doing the same.

@foxpaws42 6 лет назад

Great for small river smallies- looks exactly the way Creek minnows zig zag along the bottom in current.

@Wired2Fish 6 лет назад

That's an excellent call. Thanks for the idea.

@granthintonoutdoors 6 лет назад

Heard about this technique about a year ago and been doing well in Ozark lakes with it. Like any good secret techniques, it will come to the national light eventually 😥😥

@Mwingreen 5 лет назад

Big ass bass!

@mr.fatbasstard648 6 лет назад

Very versatile. I go slower with a baby brush hog with good results. Post and pre spawn female stagging bait... Thankfully I don't need thousands of dollars of electronics but I could see how it would be helpful in water you're not familiar with. Thanks guys

@melissamessmer6544 2 года назад

Last season was my first experience with a swing head I used a lizard and absolutely destroyed them pre and post spawn here in Missouri

@andreww402 6 лет назад

That’s awesome

@miamiwax5504 6 лет назад

i think this would work well for saltwater but the hook is too small. i wanna throw 8 inch swimbaits like this.

@Wired2Fish 6 лет назад

Should be doable with a hook size upgrade. The Mustad Fastach Football Weight ranges from 1/4 - 1 ounce in weight and allows you to attach whatever hook you prefer (same function as a swinging jig): goo.gl/oXyqjX

Epic photobomb

@bobdashiell6714 6 лет назад

Will this work for bank fishing?

@Wired2Fish 6 лет назад

Absolutely! It's a good way to locate and target fish on rough patches of gravel or rock no matter what you're casting from. Since it's rigged weedless you don't have to worry about the occasional grass patch either but this bait really shines when it's kicking up the bottom and bashing off of things.

@zacpdx 6 лет назад

Popping through grass also works well

@bobdashiell6714 6 лет назад

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'll give this a try and see what happens. Great tip.

@bobdashiell6714 6 лет назад

Thanks for your reply. I'll give it a try.

@punchfukker3383 6 лет назад

I rig up cheapo heavy splitshot versions in case I can't walk off a snag, like if I'm fishing a rocky river where you wedge your bait between bigger rocks a lot more often.

@brodyjacks3154 6 лет назад

Well there goes my secret.

@jake-rz2fk 2 года назад

every video i see they have rocks in them, literally no rocks in michigan dude
