David Lawson reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Swim Jigs technique and Daiwa Tatula SV TW103 Casting Reel - EOL on Chickamauga Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Slow rolling a Uoze Swimmer near cover and these fish can’t resist! Fish are shallow and in the prespawn stage with some already spawning but they are fired up. Trying out the Shimano FC Mastiff line and has held up well fishing the laydowns and is stout enough to get the fish out of the cover quickly."

Douglas Lake (TN)
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.

Reported by
Tyler Wilson
Lake Eufaula (Walter F George) (AL, GA)
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)."
