Vinny Chase Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 Chris DeMars, River Rat316 and owner of NorthStar Custom Baits, sits down to talk everything swim jigs and what some of the advantages are to throwing the original NorthStar swim jig. Thanks for watching and let us know if you have any other questions! 1 Quote
mr.mallard Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 the big hammers will NOT disappoint, but use superglue also. they really rip over time Quote
Vinny Chase Posted August 7, 2012 Author Posted August 7, 2012 We threw them that day and tonight and I love the action...cannot wait to order some more! These are going to take over for my Keitechs Quote
NoBassPro Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 Is it just me or do the hits on swimjigs take one of two extremes? I haven't thrown them much, but it seems either they try to jerk the rod out of your hands or just feel like dead weight until you set the hook, not much inbetween, 1 Quote

The only time you will get something in-between is when it's a bluegill/perch nipping at your baits or running off with your trailer. Quote
skeletor6 Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 Nice video. I enjoyed watching it and learned some new information. Thank you! Quote
QUIENYO Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 Thanks for the insight. I guess there is life after hopping jigs along the bottom with craw trailers. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted August 7, 2012 Super User Posted August 7, 2012 I fished the NorthStar Swim Jig (Sexy Shad) with a Rage Eeliminator (Blue Glimmer) last weekend. The jig is flawless and the action of the trailer is awesome! 1 Quote

Super User A-Jay Posted August 7, 2012 Super User Posted August 7, 2012 Good Info - I'm looking forward to trying the "up-side down" swimbait trailer idea. A-Jay Quote
