Are you wondering how to fish a swim jig?

Swim jigs are a subtle approach to bass fishing, but don’t let that fool you. They will catch fish! Big ones too!

Many fishermen nowadays love fishing with swim jigs and there are many good qualities that make them standout and a must in your bass fishing arsenal. Briefly, let’s discuss 3 reasons why everyone needs to fish a swim jig.
