I was curious to see how everyone rigged up soft swimbaits. I like using skinny dippers on the back of swim jigs, and was thinking of trying them weightless in shallow weedy areas.  Has anybody had much luck this way? Or does everyone stick with either the jighead with hook exposed or weighted swimbait hook for the most part

I use a weighted swimbait hook 90% of the time with my swimbaits. I find this to be the most versatile way to fish them. A swarming hornet or biffle head make up the other 10%.
