How to fish a swim jig

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.

First, the trailer. The trailer can completely change the look of your presentation. Take for example a few of the many different trailers on the market: swimbaits, craws, chunks, split tails and so many more. Not to mention the many, many different colors.

Next, swim jigs are a lure that you can fish year round. They work great during the spawning season and they are just as effective in cold weather fishing.
