Ryan Matthieu Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Started fishing swim jigs the last 2 years and has been working well for me in 6 foot or less water. Curious to see how many people fish them in deeper water...say 10-25 foot. What size weight and line are you using? Quote
riverbasser Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 these are also the only swim jigs I use but prefer a rage menace for the trailer. most of my jigs are thrown on braid 30lb test 1 Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted September 8, 2016 Super User Posted September 8, 2016 By deep I am usually fishing 10-20 FOW on my home lakes. I like a 1/2 oz poisontail style head and paddletail style trailer. Basically I will lift the rod tip and lower it significantly so that the jig is moving up and down the water column vs just a standard straight line retrive I would use in shallower water. 1 Quote

Tom Expand I call it jig fishing, under that category falls swimming, casting, flipping, pitching, punching, & skipping. I don't change jigs or tackle simply because I've changed presentations I might do all 6 on a single piece of structure! 1 Quote

I got these confused with the freedom swing heads. The hooks on this jig cannot be changed. Sorry 1 Quote
