Mr Swim Jig

The majority of my pistols are HK. The Mark 23 is the cats meow...lol. people that have them don't sell them. The USP is an excellent firearm as well, 2 other ones to maybe consider is the P30 and the VP9.

I use the Daiwa Elite Flip and Pitch reel....really like the oversized handle on the reel.

Always have one of each tied on, but I will always pickup the swimjig first...

I always have a swim jig tied on and it is the first bait I always start with. There is no place, time or condition that I won't throw a swim jig....

I have all 3 of these reels and they are all great reels.... I have skipped docks with the 17 and the 20 and they are both great for this technique. Never tried my Elite for this technique but I would think it would perform just as well....

Northstar Baits are my preferred swim jigs...

Going to be trial and error as to what feels the best to you. I have 2 rods I fish chatterbaits on...1st is. 7" 4" MH/R Tatula Elite rod and the 2nd is a 7' 3" H/MS Glass Evergreen Combat stick JackHammer special rod. I prefer the more parabolic bend I get from these rods. I also use Tatula MH/R rods for swim jigs and spinnerbaits.

Good tip, I will try that. I have been learning to skip baits this year also.

So true...lol But this year I have thrown a chatterbait and the Ned Rig a lot more then the swig jig. It is so difficult to not just pickup what you are most confident fishing with...

Always have a white swim jig tied on...

Correct it has a softer tip but the backbone to get a good hook set and the fish out of cover. The flipping stick is for short accurate casts and still also has plenty of backbone to get the fish out of the nasty stuff....

The 7' 4" Frog Rod definitely casts better and farther then the 7' 3" flipping stick....I can definitely cast farther and with greater accuracy with the Frog Rod. Both are great rods....

I have the 7' 3" H/F Elite rod and the Tatula 7' 4" Frog Rod and they are both great rods...

I throw 3/8 and 1/2oz chatterbaits with Zako trailers and it handles them extremely well....haven't tried anything heavier yet...

I have the 7' 3" Heavy Glass Jackhammer rod and it is absolutely amazing for fishing chatterbaits....

Jig Swim Jig Chatterbait Spinnerbait Frog Sweet Beaver

I have the 7.1:1 reel and currently have 20lbs fluorocarbon on it. I don't fish a lot of really heavy cover. I have 60lbs braid to put on it at some point...

I have this reel and it is amazing....the oversize handle and knobs are great and the drag is super strong and smooth.

Reaction Innovations Skinny Dippers and Yamamoto Zakos....

I use a 5/16oz North Star Customs bait original swim jigs. For color I keep it simple....white, black and blue, green pumpkin and new gill. For trailers I like Reaction Innovations Skinny Dippers. For gear 7' 4" Daiwa Tatula Elite MH/R and a Daiwa Tatula Elite reel and 10lbs fluorocarbon line....

I prefer Daiwa rods and reels...my favorite reel is the Abu Garcia Skeet Reese reel....still have 4 of them stored in their boxes....

Since all the kids have moved out I have a whole bedroom that has been turned into my fishing room...couldn't even begin to count all the lures and plastics as well as rods and reels I have accumulated....lol and yes my wife thinks I am crazy also...lol

I use Inviz-X in water with little to no cover, if fishing cover I prefer Abraz-X... I have never had any Seaguar fluorocarbon line fail when put to the test....

If I am using braid 90% of the time it is Daiwa Samurai braid and the other 10% is Suffix 832 braid...I use 40 to 50lbs on bait casters and 15 to 30 on spinning...always use the Palomar knot on braid.... I fish copolymer line probably 95% of the time....

Don't think you can go wrong with option 2....
