yea just made a nice little order from santone... got stuck on football jigs and never got off..

but yes glad to be here, helps me get threw the work week until i can get on the water again now that summers almost gone hard to get there soon enough after work for a couple hours..

its ok, i throw a heavy spinnerbait prespawn time without a skirt and just a swimmin senko on it, have caught a few nice ones on that....

You can't beat a talon swimjig

Looks like it would be hard to beat... probably best looking one i have ever seen

Look at santones rayburn swim jig. Best swim jig set up I found for me was a 3/16-1/4 rayburn swim jig in river bream color with a green pumpkin zoom fat Albert single tail

I like a heavy cover swim jig with a berkley havoc flat back shad in watermeleon rigged flat

Love the V&M and Dirty Jigs!!

My combo that has always worked for me was courtesy of Buda....I got me some Talon jigs and some Roboworm ez-shads. I prefer a heavy swim jig and the bigger trailer.

I've only caught one fish on a swim jig lol.Of course I've only thrown it a hand full of times. I guess it's just not my forte.

What xactly defines a swim jig from other types of jigs? I obviously know that football head jigs are meant for bottom bumping,but I don't think i've really ever seen a swim jig unless they are the same thing as casting jigs like what Stanley makes.

Lethal Weapon 2 ,1/4oz swim jig only one I use.Been throwing it since 2007.Won Big Bass twice on Toledo 2009&2011 Tex State Tourny on it. An 8.5 on Benbrook and a 7.82 on Amistad.Its been good about every where Ive gone plum to the Putomac. www.lethalweaponlure.com no brag just fact

That does'nt answer my question though

I use the same setup talin jigs with roboworm ex-shad trailers. I like how the roboworm trailer over powers the jig a little. Just gives it that slightly erratic motion.

I believe any jig can be a swim jig. It is the retrieval speed that defines its application.

I like to use a scrounger. It has a plastic bill/lip that makes it wobble more in the water and almost acts as a "weed" barrier. I have used it also as a "shakey head" and have caught fish on it as well.

Obviously you can fish any jig like a swim jig but there are a few things that make a swim jig different from others in my opinion.

First, a swim jig normally has a more streamlined head that allows it to track through weeds better than a flipping jig or FB jig. The line tie usually comes straight off the nose of a swim jig.

A swim jig typically has a lighter weed guard with fewer strands of fiber than a traditional jig. Since you are reeling it faster like a crankbait this helps get the hook into the fish easier when they bite.

Most swim jigs have a lighter wire hook than a flipping jig as well. This allows for easier hook penetration at the end of a long cast similar to a FB jig. I'm not sponsored by any bait company but I do like the All Terrain jigs. They make great jigs for all types of fishing.

Many times I will use it in place of a spinnerbait or squarebill. I fish it fast on 40-65# braid around heavy cover or over weedbeds. When they are on this pattern every other bait is a distant second. I will also fish it in deep water in place of a deep diving crank. When I can't keep the sandies off my DD22 I got to a swim jig.
