I’ve caught some studs using Siebert Outdoors 3/8 swim jigs. Favorite trailer is a 4.3 Keitech in Pro Staff Special in Bluegill situations. Pro Blue Red Pearl in Shad situations

I’ve had great luck using the lethal weapons but 3 different times I have snapped the hook in half on hooksets, not even on very big fish. Have you had this issue at all?

I have not.

So far my favorite has been the Santone swim jig. The flat bottom allows it to be a bit more versatile, especially since most of the bass I encounter are bottom huggers. I have had good luck with Outkast heads too. My favorite setup so far has been throwing 3/32 and 1/4 oz swim jigs on the same spinning setup I toss my slider rigged plastics and jerkbaits on.

 

The best trailer for me has either been a kalins 5" grub, Yum wooly bully rigged sideways, smash tech smash shad, and yum pulse Jr.

Hey Chief,

 

I see you have tried these Queen tackle blades.  How did they work out for you?  I was thinking about grabbing a couple to try. 
 

Thanks,

I tried them on two different swim jigs and they did nothing. Maybe I didn't know what I was doing but it was immediately apparent they weren't going to turn my favorite swim jig into a jackhammer. Again, maybe I did something wrong but I gave up.

Thanks!   I was assuming that might be the case.  Good fishing to ya!

Everyone is using Keitechs for their swim trailers!! Why do I feel like I get no action on them!?

[roadwarrior]

Give the Rage Tail Swimmer a try.  I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Any tips on how to fish a swim jig? So far I think I've only caught a couple pickerel on swim jigs but I want to get more experience with em. I recently picked up some Dirty Jigs swim jigs (in Dirty 420) and a pack of green pumpkin rage menace grubs and some Exoswims as well, think these well work to get me going?

IMHO...Keitechs SUCK as swim jig trailers. They are best as a stand alone swimbait.

 

Try the new Yamamoto Kicking Zako....that thing in it's short time in my rotation has been FANTASTIC on a swim jig.

Mike Seibert, one of our sponsors  on here offers some great swim jigs made to order and customized as you wish.  I just got his four jig variety swim jig pac with special skirts and wire wrapped.

I swim the same jigs that I use on the bottom. The big difference is in the trailers. Sometimes I’ll use a paddle tail, sometimes a craw, and sometimes I just use a plastic worm.

Try turning Keitech trailer upside down . Gets more action .

[Dens228]

Hey!! When did you look in my jig box??  Same here. 

I use the Impact Fat because I think the regular has TOO much action..  the beauty of so many choices!

[ajschn06]

Just got done watching a Tactical Bassin video where Matt said the Keitech’s are bad swim jig trailers... that makes me feel better- just getting into his videos and blown away how much great info he gives...

I primarily throw the Greenfish Tackle Swim Jig or the Hack Attack Heavy Cover swim jig. I mostly fish shallow water so 1/4oz. and 3/8oz. are all I throw. I keep the colors pretty basic, Green pumpkin, Black Blue, White and Blue Gill. Trailers are mainly a Rage Menage or a Rage Craw, sometimes a Zoom Fat Albert curly tail grub. 

I fish them on a 7' MH Carbonlite 2.0 rod with a Shimano SLX DC 6.3:1 or a Carbonlite 2.0 6.8:1 reel with either 30lb. braid of 15lb. floro.

I just won 6 1/2oz Dirty Jig Swim Jigs so I am excited to read through this thread!
