Best Swim Jig Rod

Kent Mittelstaedt reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Swim Jigs technique and St. Croix Victory Casting Rods on John H. Kerr Reservoir. Additional comments from this report: "Lot's of fish biting in flooded brush, hard to come by quality though. Depending on conditions the bass were either tight to brush or laydowns or in some cases they would strike 5-10ft away from the cover. I used the swim jig in clearer water in Butcher and Eastland and the spinnerbait in the dirty water in the main lake pockets."

MDOoutdoors reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Swim Jigs technique and St. Croix Mojo Bass Casting Rods - EOL on Whalon Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Whalon was ON FIRE today! Any swim jig that mimics a bluegill is what you need to catch some nice fish here. Simply find some weeds by looking for them because the water is so clear and reel the swim jig through them. I was there for 3 hours and ended up catching and releasing a 14.8 lb limit with a 4.8 lb kicker! Water was very clear with a temp of 60 degrees. Wind was 15-20mph."

Joshua Jenkins reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Swim Jigs technique and St. Croix Mojo Bass Casting Rods - EOL on Lake Beshear. Additional comments from this report: "Fish were scattered shallow all day. Fish are actively moving up and looking for bedding areas. First half of the day we caught most of our fish on a white swim jig. After 2PM, we caught all our fish on a wacky rig (white yum Dinger) and a drop shot with a roboworm. Also caught a couple fish flippin a baby bass senko. We would get more bites when throwing into shallow water but sitting in 10-20 feet of water. They key right now is finding shallow water that quickly drops into deep water. Areas with grass and lay downs produced the most bites. "

Jeramy Smith reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Swim Jigs technique and Dobyns Rods Fury Casting Rods on Lake Ovid.

Fish were caught mostly on the swim jig in dope gill color with a 3.75 inch rage swimmer in kvd magic, casting and swimming it through weed lines in 3 foot or less in wind blown coves. Largest bass was 18 inches and caught on a wind blown point with the Zman elite evo Chatterbait in green pumpkin with a green pumpkin chatter shad. A couple smaller fish were caught skipping a green pumpkin senko wacky rigged. "

Bass are in spawn mode which means bluegill imitators should be tied on ‼️ Swim jigs around over hanging trees produce a number of quality bites 🎣

Ben Nelson reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Swim Jigs technique and Dobyns Rods Fury Casting Rods on Leech Lake. Additional comments from this report: "The bass are bunched up in large groups - while you will fish a lot of dead water, the areas where you find them are money! The fish tend to sit in the heavier clumps of cover no matter what it is. Casting a Swim Jig around these areas is the quickest and most effective way to find quality largemouth. Also, they are starting to hit frogs which can make the search even more fun!"
