basspro48 Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I've been lookin at several specially made simmin jigs and I've noticed that most of them are 1/4oz. That seems kinda lighweight to me, what is yalls favorite weight for a swimmin jig? Quote
Top Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I have tried several weights and I have caught more bass on the black and blue 1/4 oz swimjig than all of them combined. when I want to change up I will go from a single tail to a double tail grub... and if I really want to bulk up I will go with a skirted double tailed grub... my personal best came on a swim jig with a single tail grub... I have a couple of favorite brands... Brovarney out of Wisconsin does a very nice swimbait... but a bit on the expensive side. I also scored 20 of the KVD BPS swim jigs when they were on sale for .99 and 15 of them I got in 1/4 oz. AL Quote
Gorgebassman Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I use the booyah swimming jig in 3/8 and 1/2 oz I get mine from bass pro shops for about 2.30 I imagine you can find them cheaper elsewhere on the internet I just am lucky to live within a short distance to the springfield missouri store.

CrazedL.IFisherman Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I'm agree with mobassfisherman big time and use the booyah swim jigs, they are made quite well and i like how the bait is made up Quote
Fishin49er Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 Ill add my vote for the 3/8 Booyah Swimming Jig Quote
Papa_Tom Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 Most often throw a Brovarney in 1/4 oz. Great majority of time it is with a single tail grub. Have used doubles or chunks on occasion. Change speed by grub size as well as by jig size. I sometimes go to 1/8 oz if I am working topped out stuff slowly. Use braid for this, especially if in vegetation. While a 1/4oz jig may seem light (grub weighs something, too) I can throw it quite far. I keep it in the top of the column most of the time, moving quickly. Most often I am in clear water, therefore the long casts. If I want to go deeper and fast(er) I usually go up to 3/8, or change the grub size/style. Probably 95% of the time it's a 1/4oz, tho. This is about my favorite method. Quote
senko_77 Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 Brovarney definately, but I also have come to like the KVD swimjig. I bought a bunch at the 99. sale at bps, and found that there awesome. The hook on the light side. Quote
Super User Munkin Posted January 25, 2007 Super User Posted January 25, 2007 1/4oz about 75% of the time, 3/8 if I want to fish a little deeper. Allen Quote
Millerman Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 RC Tackle, J-mac, and Custom Lure.net (made after Wisconsin's own 2 time classic qualifier through federation Jimmy Johnson)a These have the best grub holder than any other jig on the market, IMO. They are a little pricey but guaranteed to run true and come with a GAmmie! can;t go wrong with the 1/4oz. Quote
gatrboy53 Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 i just got one from all-terrain tackle,3/8 oz. in blue shimmer shad.havent got bit on it yet but only tried it once. Quote
