I can't believe Jeremy Lawyer was so open and will to reveal his tricks of the trade in this video!

 

 

Excellent. I'll tie one on for tomorrow. 

Thanks!!

When it comes to swim jig fishing, weight is something that confuses me.  Jeremy is advocating for AT LEAST 1/2 oz.  I recently watched a video by Mr. Swim Jig Tom Monsoor and he said he rarely (never?) uses anything other than 1/4 oz for swimming a jig.  I feel like I'd have to reel way too fast or be fishing 20+ feet of water to be throwing 1/2 oz.

The primary reason to throw a lighter swim jig is that it comes through grass easier.

Love it I’m a certified swim jig freak

I'm definitely not Mr. Swim Jig, but I do real well w/ 1/2 and 3/4.  3/4 stays 6-8' down at a good pace w/ a hard kicking trailer.  Here's my recent best on a DJ Cali jig in Crappie from the prespawn...
