Looking to share some insight among us here on swimbaits and jigheads.
Planning to start fishing a swimbait more next year and thinking on the little details of fishing them....started doing some testing in the pool this weekend and the endless possibilities started to seem like it would take a LONG time...so came here looking for some sharing to save us all some headaches.
Thoughts:
How much does a round jighead (ballhead) effect the bait kick or roll?
How much does a pointed style head (like a picasso smart mouth, buckeye or SK squadron) play into the roll and kick of the bait>
How does a belly weighted hook play into roll and kick?
How does a thin but tall head (like owner inshore or bladerunner) play into roll/kick?
Also thoughts on when fish prefer a lot of roll?
A lot of tail kick?
Minimal tail kick?
How does 30 degree vs 60 degree vs 90 degree tie play into where you use heads?
I was amazed how much a skinny dipper and little dipper roll in the water.
tried the 0 degree line tie and just could not get them to always retrieve right side up with a keitech or dipper.
THANK YOU and appreciate your insight.
