Swim Jig Fishing! All The Tricks No One Is Talking About!

How's your swim jig game? Are you missing the boat on this incredible technique?? A lot of people are! Most anglers don't realize that a swim jig imitates small baitfish and panfish better than a swimbait! Here's everything you need to know... 

Swim jigs come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and they're not created equal. Understanding head shapes and hook strengths is just as important as understanding the difference between a squarebill and a deep diving crankbait. Pay close attention as Matt details his jig and trailer pairings so you can use the best combination for your fishing conditions. 

Below you'll find links to the exact jigs, trailers, and gear that Matt discussed in the video. He's even included his favorite weights and colors for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Chatterbait Fishing – Everything You Need To Know! (UNDERWATER FOOTAGE)

If you're a serious angler, you need to fish a chatterbait! These bladed jigs catch a ton of fish, and they catch giant bass too! By changing trailers you get get a chatterbait to mimic shad, panfish, crawfish, and a variety of other prey species. You can keep it simple, or follow us down the rabbit hole as we explore chatterbait trailers, colors, retrieves, study underwater footage, and more. Let's go! 

The chatterbait is incredibly versatile once you learn to adapt your trailers and retrieves. We use 4 main trailers paired to 4 different chatterbaits to meet every situation we face. The chatterbait can remain a simple option in your arsenal, or you can start adapting retrieves from a high speed burn, to a popping retrieve, to a bottom hopping presentation, to take it to a whole different level! Its up to you, but either way you need to commit to the chatterbait this Spring. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits, trailers, and gear discussed in the video. We've included our favorite sizes, colors, and styles for every option. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

BUYER'S GUIDE: Jigs And Jig Trailers (Finesse, Football, Flipping, Swim Jig)

In today's Buyers guide we're breaking down jig fishing! The best flipping jigs, football jigs, micro jigs, and more from every category. We're also covering our favorite jig trailers for each, as well as the rods we rely on to throw the various jig styles. Let's go!
