Ideal situations for swim jigs? Colors? Trailers?

I love to throw one over shallow grass. My favorite is the V&M Pacemaker in threadfin shad and bluegill.

Santone Rayburn Finesse Swim Jig

I like to throw this swim jig when I feel like bass are pressured but the water is nice and warm. It's more subtle than a spinnerbait but you can cover more water than when using a regular jig. These swim jigs are awesome and they're well made. I typically stick to darker colors for imitating a bluegill or craw, and white/lighter colors for imitating shad. The best thing about Santone is that they're based in Texas.


Keitech Fat Swing Impact

These are my favorite swimbaits for swim jigs. There's a reason why so many people try to imitate this style of swimbait! They have the right action and plenty of scent. They have a bunch of different colors and several sizes. Great swimbaits!

Any day that ends in y.

Do you trim weed guard like you do other jigs?

No need to trim the weed guard. Use a good rod with some tip action and good backbone to set the hook home. I like the heavy cover swim jig by Strike King- seem to always get a good bite on them! I've used them for many years, along with a few others that are no longer used. I always seem to go back to the Strike King jig.

Here is the last swim jig thread from a couple weeks ago.

I use the MPack swim jigs with the structure guard. I use two colors, white and bluegill colored jigs. I like the lure because you can use it pretty much anywhere retrieving it like a spinnerbait or bouncing off the bottom like a regular jig. Caught my only keeper in my club tournament yesterday slow rolling over the top of hydrilla. I use double tail grubs for my trailers.

Thanks! My bad. Should have done search first.
