Swinging Jigs For Summer Bass! (All The Tricks To Catch More Fish)
This is our FAVORITE technique for catching BIG BASS in late Spring and early Summer. The Swing head jig has been forgotten by most anglers but it's still catching big fish for those that remember! This technique is easy to do, won't require new gear, and it will work on your lake. Its time to set your old Summer patterns aside and try something completely different!
The swinging jig is incredibly simple. All you do is pair the free swinging head with your favorite bait, let it hit bottom, and start a moderate retrieve. As you swim it along the bottom the bait will bump along, deflecting off cover, and drawing reaction strikes from the bass. While this technique can be done with swimbaits, worms, and creature baits, our best results have consistently come with creature baits.
When it comes to baits, there are endless options that can be rigged on these heads. However, we've found very specific baits that consistently get bigger bites. Below you'll find links to those exact baits, as well as the heads and gear we use to fish them. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
