No bite like a swim jig bite. Love watching Lowen’s videos. He’s a great teacher

I was Bill’s marshal for the Conroe Classic and got a first hand lesson on swim jigs….really effective

If it wasn’t for this video, I wouldn’t have caught my first three pounder on the bed just started fishing so hooked love it. Thank you for all the knowledge.

Started bass fishing in march . Rigged up the swim jig today after watching your video last night . Caught me four ! Nice work bro

Awesome!

Got to meet Bill at a seminar this winter, super nice guy!

Thanks for all the tips & advice!!! I started to use braid when I first started to throw swim jigs but for some reason switched to fluorocarbon but will now switch back. I was using the 30# braid. Stay Safe & God Bless!!!🤠

I picked up a swim jig last August just junk fishing and, I haven't put a jig down since. I caught larger than usual fish also. I don't swim it so much but, let it sink, drag it a bit maybe until it gets hung a little on grass or an obstruction and, then I rip it out with a snap. That draws reaction bites even if they aren't hungry. I always have one tied on!

Put it in your hand and only fish a swimjig all day and it will become a confidence bait for you. It’s such a versatile bait

I use to never catch anything on a jig until one day I got lucky and now its my favorite technique. I think smaller jigs are the best way to start catching. Something like a strike king bitsy flip jig or smaller finesse ball heads work in a lot of places and personally I get more bites on something downsized.

Try a Strike King Rage Menace in Moon Juice color as a trailer. That color has twin tails that mimic a blue gills tail to a T. I trim it a little so it fits well. It's a winner!

I don’t understand why the pros usually cast with their right hand but then switch the reel to the left hand after casting. I just cast with my right hand and reel with my left wouldn’t you want to have the pole in your dominant hand/arm? I assume most people are right handed

Yeh…..I thought the same thing until I got a left hand bait caster and found that your most nimble and strong hand is best on the cranking handle….not on the rod. I returned that reel and now have several bait casters, all right handed.

Great video Bill, thanks for the good information! What full cork handle rod were you using (model and brand)? Thanks, Will

Only caught a few with the swim jigg looking forward to All jig fishing this year 🤟

The average fisherman can’t afford a forward facing sonar. So hearing that a fish is “following” it or nipping at the tail gets frustrating. I simply don’t have that kind of money. Help me fish without live and 360!

I promise you swim jig fishing is old school fishing at its finest. I think you miss understood what he was saying. Fish swipping at you bait you can feel and Seeing a fishing following your bait that's what a good pair of shades provides for you. Nothing I mean Nothing has anything to do with FFS.

@@shelbybrasuell9035 I respect your opinion but it really sounds like he was watching the fish on FFS. I know how to swim bait fish but would have liked some better info without even bringing up FFS. I would love to watch the "pros" fish without it now.

I had 17 pound floro. I used to fish ball jigs with small paddle tails for speckled trout. Moved to Louisiana and just finally tried a swim jig for bass. Caught 3 with 30 mins. 2 that were almost identical that were 2 pounds. And then a 4 pounder. I def had the wrong color patern but i felt the bite a few casts before i caught each fish.

When i fish fresh water in delaware, it’s usually in ponds with a ridiculous amount of foliage/growth. Hangups have made me wary of using jigs, but i may have to keep one ready now

When do u fish the swim jig vs bladed jig?

Wish I had time to do more of this. I’m told to get good at any bait/technique is to go fishing with ONLY that bait/technique and try to learn OJT so to speak

What time of year was this recorded and approximately what was the water temp?

braid to mono leader? Or straight braid

Jigs are best in early spring through the spawn. After that there are better options.

And like any bait, if boat after boat is throwing it, the fish seem to learn very fast.

Do you use braid or what please

Not seeing the 5/0 jig listed at TW???

Question for you sir, do you think the color change made them see it more easily, therefore they preferred it, or do you believe that they could see the different colors about the same and simply preferred the other color?

Caught my PB on a swimjig, I love throwing them into a submerged bush, and ripping it through and out. Caught a good one getting hung up, and it smoked it when it came free.

30 lb braid for swim jig? I throw mine from the bank on a 7ft medium, heavy fast action

Would you choose a medium heavy vs medium rod for 3/8oz and less....I'm worried the mh with braid will pull the bait from their mouth.....would the medium be the preferred rod bc it may allow them to get the bait more......thoughts anybody?
