You know my favorite way to fish a swim jig is kind of fishing it along shaking it up high in the water column. A swim jig is different—they’re built differently.

I mean you can swim any kind of jig but this is a Strike King KVD swim jig and it’s got a bullet-shaped head, it’s got a medium weed guard to it so it’s not designed for thick heavy brush and things like that, and it’s got a stout hook. This particular one is the heavy cover model, and I’ve got a rage craw on it.

Why the Rage Craw Works

What I like about a rage craw is it’s got that wide swimming action to it and it helps you kind of keep it up high in the water column.

Choosing Swim Jig Colors

So my three basic colors are black and blue, blue gill, and Shad. You need those three basic colors.

Line and Cover Considerations

I’m going to fish it on braided line, but for a cover like this where you got grass, scattered pads, bushes, boat docks, things like that, I mean it’s a bait you can put anywhere. A swim jig fits the bill in so many areas. You know it doesn’t matter if you’re in Florida, Texas, Michigan, the Potomac River, or New York—wherever there are a lot of places that have this type of cover, a swim jig really fits the bill.
