I have just started fishing again this summer after a pretty good while off. Anyway I  have basically always been a crankbait fishermen. This summer I have started to fish some plastics. I was searching on you tube and seen KVD swimming a jig. I thought it looked like another alternative. So what are some good jigs to swim. When is a good time to use them and  under what conditions. So my question is basically tell me all you can about swim jigs. Including rod and line to use.

I use 1/4 and 3/8 oz. bullet type jigheads, 40# braid and a 6' 6" MH rod. I thread on a 4" single or twin tail grub to match or accent the skirt. You can work it in all the same methods as a spinner bait. I think it works better than a SB around reeds, cane or brush.

One of my favorite baits for when the bass get back in the buck brush here on Kentucky Lake. I use regular Boo Yah Boo in 3/8 and Baby Boo jigs in 5/16. I like green pumpkin, watermelon pumpkin, and black and blue for colors. I use a 3-4" twin tail grub as a trailer in matching colors.

I'll find clumps of buck brush on banks or in the backs of bays that submerge due to the high water levels in the spring time. I'll cast out and burn it back and add pauses besides bushes or clumps of grass. In my experiences, fish will swim out of the bushes to hit that harder than a tube or plastic flipped into the middle of those same areas.

I use a 7' MH or H rod with 20 lb fluorocarbon and a 6.3:1 ratio reel.

My favorites are Booyah Boo jigs, and Bass Pro Shops enticer rattling jigs, Also I like the Zoom swimmin chunks for trailers.
