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.

Lastly, swim jigs tend to catch bigger fish. This is because they can get to areas that other baits can’t. If you are after more quality fish, I would suggest fishing a swim jig as often as possible.

For those reasons, I love fishing swim jigs and think you will too, but now the question is how do you fish a swim jig to catch big bass? We hope to answer that question in this post, but before we can answer that question, let’s answer a question many people have: What is a swim jig anyway?

BEST FLIPPING RODWhat is the best flipping and pitching rod?

There is no doubt about it, flipping for bass is exciting. Generally you are targeting bigger fish and oftentimes you can actually see the fish take the bait. Nothing gets the heart racing faster than seeing a toad take your bait.

However, that is only half the battle. Now you have to fight the fish and get it in the boat. If it doesn’t get into the boat, it is just a story and we know how fishing stories are taken. It is always better to have proof of your catch.
