They are like a senko in that there is no real wrong way to fish them. Most of the time I am fishing them in shallow clear water so I can watch the bait. Honestly I just swim them around in a manner that replicates the prey I am trying to emulate. Just think of a swim jig as a bladeless spinnerbait. Allen 1 Quote

My favorite store bought jig is the Omega Revelation Swim Jig. This jig has a lighter wire hook than most so I can fish it in clear water with 12lb Floro. It only comes in like 6 colors and I use Bluegill and Threadfin shad which are very similar in color to the jigs I posted above. Allen 1 Quote

For me , I like a 3.8 or 4.3 Fat Swing Impact in Sight Flash , Blue Gill or TN. Shad using a Gamakatsu EWG 3/0 weighted hook in 1/16th or 1/8th oz. I like to fish it slow and steady and irregularly just kill it and let it drop with a twitch or two (ala Joe Cocker who made soft plastic twitch'n famous with his band : "Mad Bass & Englishmen" ...)
