Swimming a jig has been one of my favorite methods of catching bass for quite sometime. In this video, I break down a few of my secrets when fishing a swim jig and how to use it efficiently.

Post below what your favorite swim jig is and why!
I buy the Northsar Swim Jigs v2 on TW. I just noticed they stopped carrying them :confused2:they are one of the best Northern Style swim jigs. May just go back to Brovarney, the gold standard for WI style swim jigs.
1/4 oz Brovarney swim jig is my favorite. Seems to come through anything, casts really well for a 1/4 oz bait, and you can get them with round rubber skirts if you want. Also, the hooks are really good. I caught a 10 pound pike on one last year and the hook didn't bend out at all. I did just buy a couple Dirty Jigs No Jack swim jigs but have yet to try them. They look good though.
lol great minds lol think alikeQuote:

I used a Lethal Weapon the last time I was up north and it was good. How does it compare to the NorthStar?Quote:

Honestly I’ve tried many times and other than the worlds stupidest 9inch largemouth I’ve never even had a bite on a swim jig. Do you fella pump and drop or reel straight, I like to think I’m fairly well rounded but this bait I just can’t get.
Brovarney makes a awesome swimjig! Dan is a nice guy as well and talk to him frequently. When I was 23 I won my first bigger bass tournament using his swimjig and took home $6k during a 2 day tournament on Winnebago.
Dirty Jigs No Jack Swim Jig...3/8ths...zoom super speed craw or RI little dipper... 50lb braid.. Dobyns DX 744.. 7:3:1 reel....
Yea, that’s the one I use from time to time. It’s really good, just a super light hook. I was using a Spinnerbait rod just so I didn’t straighten it out!Quote:

My first choice is the Megabass Uoze Swimmer in Ayu or Gill.
I like the 6th Sense Divine swim jigs andBrovarny are very good swim jigs as well.I started making my own similar to very similar to Brovarny and do vey well on them. They are too easy to make and I can pour and tie up a bunch in no time.
Is that the one with the blade on it?Quote:
