Santone 100% no doubt.

Don't really see them marketed around here, but I'm a big fan of Omega. Tackle Warehouse carries several models. Just throwing another name in the hat.

We had some great response at ICAST this year with our new Swim Raptor. Good enough that BASSIN' Magazine is including us in their Best of ICAST edition due out in a few days. I haven't figured out how to include pics on this site yet, but we have them on our home page at www.mesubait.com Basically, it's a free hanging hook so your texas rigged plastic moved more life like. Comes with a TroKar TK 120, but it can be changed out.
The applications are limitless. I've put a swim bait on the back and fished open water with an exposed hook. I won a tournament texas rigging a 10" worm in 20' water in heavy trees. It comes through the grass great. And just last week I had the crazy idea of rigging a double leg rage tail and swimming it top water over the grass (that could be my favorite)

i was using santone, the hooks bent on big fish i wasnt impressed for the price.....swapped to all terrain tackle rattlin a.t. jigs 3$ a piece shipped and just won a tournament on toledo with them, the best imho for the price...tell them you want the new ones with powercoating and 5/0 hook 3/8 oz.

I would call them. They may have had a bad batch of hooks. I make all my own jigs but if I did not you can bet my boat would have a ton of Santones in them. One thing has always impressed me is their hooks.

Same hear if I didn't make my own santones would be in my box.
But I like mine best!!

Here in Alabama,especially on the Coosa,most use Dirty Jigs.They fish it Coosa style,holding the rod tip,@11 o'clock,and pumping the rod threw the river grass.Hard to beat the guys who have the technique down...Randy Howell has a great video fishing the swim jig...

What's a river?

look outside it won't last

I have some Santone swim jigs, and I highly doubt the hook bent- unless tuna fishing! They are superb!

once the hook bends and you bend it back ive found that it breaks shortly afterwards.....i got on the the best school of fish in my life a few weeks ago after 3 6# the hook was bent bad enough that it was getting snagged on every cast. maybe a bad batch of hooks i dont know ive never heard of that but i guess it could happen. ive talked to a couple fellow anglers in my club and they have had the same happen to them. only hook ive found to not bend is strike king hack attack jig, they are monsters

Try the Elk River Jigs Flippin/Swim jig. It is available in all the colors on our website or we will build your custom color. Great swim jig and also a great wood jig.

Dirty Jigs California Swim Jig. Stout hook and the best shad and bluegill colors out there. Should do good in Lilly pads with braid and the hook will stick them pretty good.

I use these. I build my own

I like Dirty Jigs for the swim jig technique!
