there are many ways to fish a swim jig. you can hop it, twitch it, burn it, kill it, whatever your imagination desires. as for tackle, you would pretty much use the same
tackle as you would for spinnerbaits(MH rod, fast action with a good 6:3:1 reel and quality monofilament or whatever line you like.)
as for trailers, i like rage tail and GY double tail grubs...i also like paddle tail swim baits
