Not sure if you are suppose to swim a plastic with it or crawl on the bottom.

Also, what type of plastic do you use a darter head? Grubs?

Dart heads are designed to swim slowly through the water column similar to a swimbait.

1/8 dart works good with 4" to 6" curl tail finesse worms. 

The dart head shape tends to snag easily, so fish it in areas where cover is light.

Ah, ok.  Thanks for the quick reply.

 

My favorite head for swimming a grub or small paddle tail. 

Swim baits, jig sized for the bait.  Tailor the retrieve to what the fish want, but they will work fine with steady retrieve or jerking/twitching off the bottom.  I use round heads for grubs. I think darters usually have longer hooks, which would go through the grub farther back than I prefer.  

 

 

although i had no takers on it this saturday, i was SLOWLY swimming a keitech swing impact on a darter head.  could work it as slow as i wanted and still get that tail kick
