WHITE JIG who? when? how?

Featured Replies

One of my favorite colors especially with a chartreuse or chartreuse \ white trailer... Smallies seem to love white.

I swim it during the day around cover.  I hop it at night in the summertime full moon.

White 1/2 or 3/4 oz with a brown craw type trailer, when the fish are starting, or have bedded.. :)

If I see small Shad I will swim a white jig.

Like most any other jig, anytime can be good, and retrieves vary.

  • In the spring as a bedding bait because of it's visibility.

  • Swim it shallow around cover during the shad spawn

  • Swim it or work it through timber in the fall back in the creeks, again when bass are keying on shad

  • Also good on bluff banks and around docks.

These are just a few of my favorites. There are others. Best to toss it a little all year to see just when and where on your specific waters.

If shad are dying on the surface and fluttering down a white jig can be deadly. It's also my color for swimming a jig.

Swim, swim, swim it.

Never caught a bass on a white jig, but pike seem to love them.

I throw a white swim jig with a pearl/blue single tail grub as the tail. I just swim it during the retrieve, little shakes but just pretty steady.

I got into that color cause a white spinnerbait is so deadly. I wanted something for when the water is to calm/clear for the spinner bait. Swim jig gets less tangled in weeds if you swim it through the thick stuff.

It is great mimicking baitfish.

I also have one that is green with some orange in it to mimick a perch.
