Swim Jigs

Featured Replies

Just curious to see what you guys think of swim jigs.

Thanks.

for me they are killer during the summer months on the Tidal Potomac River (shallow water with tons of hydrilla, milfoil and spatterdock pads)

 

from this past Sunday

Great. I like Keitech Model III.

I'm into them too. I've done well with them with a 3.5" tube on them. I like the Strike King and Bass Pro Tournaments.

I've been using Siebert and Strike King jigs.

Fun bait to use. I really like the northern style ones.

Same here when a smaller profile is needed!

They're a staple. I fish a lot of public, pressured shore where the fish see spinnerbaits all day. The staple is a 3/8 oz Siebert bullet-style jig with a 4"-ish paddletail trailer. I favor bluegill patterns and the occasional blue/black.

get you some from siebert outdoors and you won't regret it.... high quality stuff and the fish dig them too....

I make my own, and they have been my most consistent producer for river smallmouth this year. I like to use the gambler ez or slophop by trigger x as trailers. There are a ton of paddletails that i would still like to try. I still havnt tried any of the keitech or dippers.

Yes, they are highly effective!

They are far and away the most effective for me. Worth a look on your next order somewhere...

Well, you can swim any jig.  A specialized jig is nice, but not needed.  I like to bring the bait across the tops of submerged grass and change up the retrieve as I reel it in.

The keitechs or the skinny dippers? Or both?

Both, I have probably 5 dozen packs of both brands combined.
