Swinghead jigs in early spring

Featured Replies

Thoughts on using these in early spring?  Picked up some dirty jigs swinghead jigs last fall and was wanting to use these this open water season.  Suggestions for best trailers to use with these would be awesome as well.  Thanks fellas.

SK Rage Bug on a swinghead produces for me up here on brown bass

early, mid season & late.

Always have one rigged & ready.

Just watch your retrieve speed and maintain bottom contact . In colder water things are not moving extremely fast (you just have to play with the retrieve speed a bit and find out what the bass want) .

I love them, from 1/4 to 3/4. I use them on deep rocks and on beds as well. I like a craw bait but have had success with swimsuits and long worms as well

As you can tell by my name...I use them often. All year. Jig it or swim it across the bottom. My favorite.

Berkeley Jester was designed for swing heads.

^The bug, and the Menace are great on a swinghead. The Strike King Rodent is another one of my favorites and seems to catch my biggest swinghead fish in cold water.

I’ve watched the footage, this guy catches a whole bunch of big uns on that cricket! 
 

I got some homemade swingheads from @Bluebasser86 , first I’ve ever tried this presentation. It seems pretty easy, get it on bottom and move it along....... and all of a sudden I’m catching bass. I’ve even caught fish with it while it was falling through timber
