jkinner_fishing reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Swim Jigs technique and Shimano Curado DC Casting Reel on Douglas Lake . Additional comments from this report: "Douglas Lake has quickly become my favorite Jig lake. Douglas is absolutely full of bass and even on this cold morning we were able to fire up some fish on the blue/black jig! This trip was a grind, but nothing else would put quality bites in the boat like the jig. There is not another reel like a Shimano Curado DC, on the jig bite you need a high speed reel to pick up the line.

Tyler Wilson reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Swim Jigs technique and Shimano Curado DC Casting Reel on Lake Eufaula (Walter F George). Additional comments from this report: "Shad spawn is going on now and it is fire the first couple of hours in the morning. My favorite lure this time of year is definitely the swim jig paired with a rage craw. White is the color of choice but any shad color will work. Throw it around the grass on main lake points and any other places the shad are spawning (docks, rocks, etc)."

Aaron Kalvitis reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Swim Jigs technique and Daiwa Tatula CT 100 Casting Reel - EOL on Cayuga Lake.

Early April, main river water temps around Wabasha were in low 50s. Up to mid 50s in some backwaters. Northern Pike and Largemouth bass willing to eat Spinnerbaits, Bladed Jigs & Swim jigs around shallow cover on channel swing banks, wood was a plus. Black & blues seem to be best color, but fish were caught on Fire Craw & bluegill colors as well.

Early May day with water temps in the mid 50s. Targeted largemouth on large submerged vegetation flats and bays with swim jigs in a depth of 2-5ft. Stumps on these flats seemed to be holding the bigger fish. The warmest water you could find was typically holding the most fish.
