@@ThatSB I've tried slow, medium and fast all with and without occasional pauses and occasional quick partial reel turns. I've tried deep and shallow, digging them into the bottom and off the bottom. I've also tried fishing them the same way you would quickly fish a jerkbait. For whatever reason I rarely have success with crankbaits. Almost every fish I have caught on a crankbait has been while running the bank with a squarebill.

@@xDx0xUxGx Idk I think most people consider them the easiest bait so that is surprising. It looks and swims like a fish and sets the hook for you lol. You dont even need to drag bottom just swim it and straight reel is fine too. To never get bites is strange. Maybe you are using the wrong colors for your area? But ive caught fish on damn near every color I think they just hate crankbaits waddling their way through the pond. I do best on crankbaits over the top of deep weeds. Dont worry too much about square vs round. Majority of the time it doesnt make that much difference unless you are getting hung up alot and need to get over timber in which case the square bill is better for its more gradual dive

I'm in central Florida and fish small lakes and ponds. And typically bottom is at best sand and grass. But this technique certainly works. And also works great in middle of the night.

My husband and I are NEW to Central Florida and looking forward to small pond and lake fishing. Do you have any favorites to recommend around Orlando, Winter Garden, Clermont, Oconee, etc. Most seem really large, looking for smaller public ones.

Thanks Matt, been waiting on this info before I try it. Right on time.

Amazing info!!! I’m glad you hurried back too!’ Thanks so much, Matt.

My top three favorite baits for a wobble head would a bandito/Rage bug,zoom Z-craw,powerbait pit boss. I could make a case for basically any plastic that can be Texas rigged. A ribbontail worm can really be deadly.

Another great video Matt, thanks for giving us your great knowledge about bass, lures and techniques to put more into the boat. Your tips are invaluable and appreciated.

Great video my man!!! Great breakdown of the technique.

Awesome video love the wobble head. The 6th sense stroker craw is a good trailer too.👍🏻

I have swim baits in the boat. Been just bumping them along the bottom. I can’t wait to try this technique on Lake of the Ozarks!

Been throwing the swim jig in my local area and it’s been smacking! Can’t forget the finesse jig in our reservoirs here too!!

I agree with you about junebug. That's my favorite color hands down. This year though I found a cotton candy color lizard and I've been catching a ton with it.

Thanks for the great information! Great work!

I literally just rigged up some swinging heads earlier today then i see this video with 3 of the 4 exact baits i rigged up!! Awesome,have a really good feeling with that paca craw and my custom white menace grub

Just tried this rig yesterday, and it made me a believer, first time out. I’ve used the technique deep in the winter with a Keitech fat swimbait with great success also.

awesome vid Matt! I started wobble head fishing bout 2 yrs ago. love it, especially at nite shhhhh! And like you mentioned, i’ve had success with 3.8 keitec as well, not just creature baits. 👍

I won my first highschool bass tournament on this style hook before it got popular. I believe it was 2007. I think arkie jig made the hook. It had a ball style weight with a regular worm hook. Fishing it off island ledges and shallow flats. I remember all the adults couldnt believe i caught all my fish on that hook with a finesse worm. Great memory

Beast Coast Swing Head (discontinued) with a Reaction Innovations Man Bear Pig (Tramp Stamp) is one of my summer go-to’s! Good luck finding those colors in the Adrenaline Craw. Thanks Matt!!

This was the first technique I ever stumbled on that would later be confirmed by a reputable fishing program. My experience has been that I catch bigger fish in the post spawn with this rig. I believe you are right about it fooling the fish. A magnum rage bug is killer.

you guys are the best channel for bass ever imo I really like how you explain everything so clearly

Thanks Matt, I went out for the fist time in two years to a barrage in North Africa (Morocco) the water was very clear, normally it is dark so I am used to throwing spinnerbaits. Luckily I had my Lowrance with me so I noticed they are way deeper then otherwise near the bank in the shade even in the place with current there werent any reaction on my baits at all, throwing a texas rig worm / spinnerbait... so finally I caught some small bass on a dropshot, but 2 years ago I had a day of more then 50 pounds in just 13 fish (the bass here is probably Northern strain) SOOOO big thanks for this video, I gonna reorganise my floattube bags and plan my next trip!!!

I am primarily a bank angler and I throw this rig quite often especially on those hot summer days when the fish are out far and near the bottom. It kills!

Awesome technique Great explanation

Awesome video, will do this next week at Clear Lake. Your old stomping ground.👍

Swing jigs look great! I should try some!

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing

Hi Matt. I watched your video because I haven't had a lot of success with swing head jigs. I rigged one up, went out that same afternoon and caught a nice 4+ lb largemouth.

In europe we are using a rig similar to this called cheburashka rig. The good thing about this rig is you can attach any hook type and size you like. Have a look at it.

Just got turned on to you guys.. I’m binging all of your vids. Great great stuff! Thank you for you time

You're the only channel I trust.

I was throwing it then other day on the chick. Caught some big blue channel cats. No bass but I do love the bait!! Zoom z craw for me on 1/2 oz. Awesome video!!

I started using the heads that come without a hook so that I can whatever hook I want. I really like the the Zappu Bellows Hook along with some of the ewg style hooks from Ichikawa, Hayabusa and Ryugi much better than the Gamakatsu ewg. On the Gammy ewg hooks, he hook point is inline with the line tie of the hook which results in less of a gap and fewer solid hookups. By using hooks that the point extends past the line tie, you don't have to bend it up and it solves the problem of lost fish and fewer hookups.

Thanks for the video. I hope you had fun up here in Michigan! You have lots of love up here.

Great informative video

Just came across this video. Great content. I throw a lot of different trailers as well with the wobble head, but lately, I've mostly been using the rage tail space monkey.

Floating on a floating chair I drug a 1/4 oz on the bottom letting the wind drag me and the swing head with a junebug craw and caught a nice 3.8 smalley off a point in 110 degree weather in Havasu Az. before this video came out. They work great.

I have mine paired up with the baby paca and too have caught some good bass on that set up.

I’m sure you have a video already about this but wish you showed how to rig the bait on the hook. It is probably super easy but I mess it up. Thank you for a great video. Love this channel

The two important things to watch out for are making sure the plastic is rigged straight as you would with any other rig and to not rig the plastic too far forward so that it impedes the movement between the head and the hook. Hopefully this helps anyone who needs this info in the future.

The rugby jig+pit boss or a vile craw has (accidentally) caught me more big northern pike up here in Ontario than almost any other pike bait in the summer. I've had a ton of days when the pike wont hit a jerkbait, wont hit a spoon, wont even wake on a spook but that 3/4oz vmc swing jig and a black/blue pit boss dragged/hopped on bottom on sand flats between weed beds is just something they cant resist... As far as catching bass w the rugby jig I've had almost zero luck but this fall I'll be camping out on a smallmouth lake like I have been for 6 years and I'm convinced slow rolling a 3/8-1/2oz rugby jig+a keitech is going to be the golden ticket.

Just love ur videos man!!!!!!

This one of my favorite techniques...i prefer that vmc rugby head with a a straight shank hook..i feel like i lose less fish with that hook

Love the tip videos

Theres a lure made in my area that is called a wobblehead it’s been called a wobblehead for at least 40 years it’s nothing like this swinghead jig but it’s a great technique you should try this time of year.

Can’t tell you how good this technique actually is. I went camping at dale hollow last week, took my hobie. I did horribly for 2 days, then i started catching some small ones on a drop shot and a bitsy bug. Then for some reason i found some wobble heads and rigged one with a jordan lee berkley hd craw…with floating pincers. I started catching some bigger fish in that rocky ultra clear water. Great vid, great tips.

Matt you are keeping Amazon busy. Every time I watch your videos, I send my money to Amazon. Thanks

Tossed this a bit last summer. Over the winter I got ahold of some with skirt collars, and tied up my own old school flat rubber jigs out of it. Haven't had a chance to try them yet, but it's on the list of things to toss. The smallies up here in Canada love anything with lots of action, grubs, or when I can't find the yamamoto double tail grub, I go with the strike king rage magnum rage bug. They'll destroy a big 4.5 inch rage bug.

What an EXCELLENT video. I hung on every word, loved it! Do you absolutely need a dedicated jigging rod for this? I have several nice medium heavy fast rods. Lew's mach series and Lew's Custom Pro Speed Stick series. I'm trying not to buy another combo until Fall season.

Have you guy's or anyone else on here tryed this technique with a Lizard.? Im thinking with the ribbon tail and legs it would get alot of action. After watching your alls vidoes for as long as I can remeber now, I finally went and picked up a casting Zodios rod this past weekend so pumped to try it after what all you all have said about them over the years.

i bout some of those and i am going to use them for this summer

Smallmouth love the Keitech Crazy Flapper. Can't believe you didn't throw it up north

Awesome - Thank you.

Hoping to see a video on the full moon of June coming up!

Awesome Matt!!! I have thrown the swing head jig with no luck but this is definitely motivation to catch my new P.B. on it! Thanks for the awesome content as always! Tight lines y'all! #1tacticalbassinfan

great content as usual, how long is your leader for this technique? Thanks

Excellent

Awesome video! I’ve been hopping the kvd structure head with a man bear pig and caught a 4 pounder! Which is a big fish where I live. Gonna buy some of these baits for sure though. And is the mega bass brailist that much better than the 7 ft 5 medium heavy zodius? The brailist is good for all bottom right?(jigs, swing heads, texas rigs)

As someone who really wants to catch a big bass on the fly rod i cant wait to see a video on hair jigs

Great info! IMPHO, if I could only have one, I would go just abit lighter and smaller...I'd go with 3/8oz. with a 3/0 hook. 1/2 oz is abit heavy for pond bank fishing...and the 3/0 hook will facilitate the hooking typically smaller pond bass; but is still adequate for most lake fishing applications. Also, a bait company that gets so little respect and overlooked is Lunker City. Check out their creature bait - Ozmo. Awesome bait, and as good as any of these others on the market.

A 5 inch grub and a big ribbon tail worm also work great if they stop biting a craw creature style bait

Oh it's here and it's getting a work out. Still learning these backwaters and how to get around but vids will follow sooner than later.

I use the bigger Biffle Hardheads w/either a Strike King Rage Bug or Berkley Pit Boss. In sunshine, I prefer the Rage Bug in green pumpkin (claws tipped orange) or watermelon/red flake. In darker skies, murkier water, and in late winter/early spring, I use the Pit Boss in either Big Texan or Green Perfection. The best locale for this technique is LOGJAMS in the outside bends of creek backs. Bass love logjams! The key is to STROKE IT. Hop it HIGH, then let it fall back. GUARANTEED to put fish in your boat!
