I was watching Lindner's Angling Edge, and he was using a average jig with a gulp frog as the trailer and swimming it back to the boat. He seemed to be nailing em with this technique. So have any of you guys tryed this? I fish from the bank but im thinking of trying it in place of a spinner bait. Do you have success with this technique? Also if not gulp frog what trailers do you prefer for swimming.

This is my favorite technique.  Whenever I find emergent vertical vegetation, I always try and swim a jig through it.  MY favortie type of vegetation is water willow.   I use the BPS Moonsor swim jig with a H&H swamp frog.  I bite off about a 1/4 of an inch of the frog.  This is a great technique.  

There is a guy that I fish with that uses swimmin a jig as his primary technique.  He uses a 3/8 oz jig most of the time and Zoom chunk trailers - they make one specifically for swimmin.  A couple of tournaments back he caught fish in an area where noone else did, but swimming a white jig/trailer through fairly muddy water.

I started using Bayoo's Swimming Jigs in the 3/8 and 1/2 oz sizes about a month and a half ago. Colors for my waters: black and brown. I use either 5 " Kalin's Grubs or a 6" Mogambo grub as a trailer. Caught 2 Muskies (not real big but fun anyway in the past 2 weeks. Totally surprised but I'll take it. So now I always keep a rod rigged with a swimming jig.
