Swimbait setup

Featured Replies

Hey guys,

I can’t decide if I should get a new swimbait and jig head for the lake I plan on going to tomorrow. It’s generally a finesse lake, with clearer water about 5 ft visibility. It’s deep, but being on a kayak with no electronics I tend to fish shallow still. Would a 1/4 ounce jig head be too heavy for a finesse swimbait setup? I know I have some green pumpkin keitechs in 3.75 at my house, but I wanted something small especially because I’ve seen many small baitfish there. Would a 1/8 ounce and a 2.75 inch be better? Also, you guys can recommend the jig heads/ plastics you like.
Thanks in advance, 

Bryce 

I love the VMC Hybrid Swimbait Jig Head. And I use it with The Mayor which is made by Crush City. Both are Rapala brands and I am sure they were designed to use with eachother. I like the 4.5 inch version of the Mayor. The corkscrew behind the jig head really locks the soft plastic into place.

Ok thanks. What weight do you use?
