What is your favorite swim jig brand,color and how do you fish it.Ive not had much luck using them.Thanks

NorthStar Flip and Swim. I've probably had most hook ups on the "Simply Watermelon" color with a paddletail swimbait trailer. Any color is good though. I haven't been out to try the "New Gill" color yet but it looks awesome. As far as retrieves, theres no right or wrong way. Steady retrieve, pumping action, yo yo, rip it off the bottom, hop it on the bottom, retrieve it and kill it, etc, etc, etc. I like the Flip and Swim because it does a good job of fishing like a craw imitator as well. I like a Rage Craw on the jig in these circumstances. I also have a few of the Strike King swim jigs what do a good job as well.

I had some luck with smaller swim jigs. I take any smaller jigs which has eye of the hook at the very front of the jig head, and add some trailer. Some of them are labeled as swim jigs, some are not. Colors for me are mostly shad pattern. The trailers are usually paddle tails. Some of the trailers are tail section of used paddle tail swim baits. I'm not very picky about brands and stuff, but I pay attention to where fish might be and if the set up is right size and weight. I would cast, reel and twitch all the way to the boat.

I throw the NorthStar Original Swim Jig in "new gill" most of the time, but when I am fishing deeper water or thicker vegetation, the NorthStar Flip & Swim is a GREAT choice...

I like to throw either a craw or swimbait as a trailer, but experiment with trailers to see what they want!

I like NorthStar Swim Jigs and Dirty Jigs Swim Jigs. I like fishing them just over the tops of weeds at a slow speed. I like bluegill colors the most, but I also do well with crayfish and shad colors as well. My favorite trailers are Rage Craws or a Keitech Swing Impact swim bait.

Northstar 5/16oz all White with white Kinami 4" single tail grub in Pearl Silver. Been trying the new Rage Tail single tail grub in Blue Glimmer Flake with good success as well. Also like the Sexy Shad color with the same trailers.

Around here swimming a jig works better in the warmer months. This time of year I'll have my jig on the bottom working it back slowly.

Sparse shallow cover I through a Northstar original swim jig in 1/4oz. Moderate to heavy cover, or deeper water, I throw the Northstar flip and swim. New gill and salsa are my top 2 colors, but this will vary by location/forage.
