Great info. Planning to use this technique this spring. Thx

Your awesome bro,good honest people like you keep it real..,thanks lots

Thanks for the video keep them coming

Nice tip. Thanks. I've already been trimming mine. I also trim up my plastic trailers as well

I bought 8 of your jigs when they first came out. Today was the first time I broke it out. And dude I wrecked them! That jig is a 4 wheel drive. One jig all day. Good job.

Tried the craw trailer shaking it in near the surface and caught one yesterday. Thanks for the tip

Alabama shake, Good info Randy. How about a part three and talk about Northern swim jigging with light wire vs heavy wire hook swim jig. What action rods, what line to use.

LOL your idea of water clarity and mine are very different. 2 foot is murky here in FL. I regularly am hitting 5-10 foot vis in the lakes and runs here in Central FL. Lots of grass to get snarled in though.

You prefer the craw type trailers over a single tailed grub?

What are your thought on glass rattles that you insert into the plastic bait?

Do you ever turn to a swimbait style trailer like a paddletail or zako style on a swim jig?

How far down do you trim your weed guard? Do you thin it out at all?

i know it prly really doesnt matter but i can not put a craw trailer on flat. i have to turn it sideways to look more like a fish tail haha

Eons ago, there was a jig brand that used a plastic coated head. The head was filled with various weight classes. The benefit of the plastic head was the uniform size/bulk. These jigs were terrific for a super slow fall OR…for swimming just under the surface. I can’t recall the brand, but I’ve got a couple left in a box somewhere. I’ll break them out and give this a shot.

I'm convinced you have a bowl full of paper strips with terms like "Triple your ____" "Catch ___x more" "Instantly Improve" and just pick one out and slap it on the title... lmao

Any kind of green pumpkin or white combination swim jig with a green pumpkin flash zoom z craw is the deal. Wes Logan talked about how the fish see the flash as a shad bait ball and that’s what entices them. I think there’s really some truth to that

Ah Ah you called it a jig 😂😂

Been killing it with a red and black swim jig* along with a dark purple missile baits creature trailer dragging/shaking it on the bottom or sinking at a covers edge with a pop or two after it lands. Everything about my setup is unconventional I know. But the northern bass can't seem to resist. P.S. In the north we are just wrapping up the prespawn stage about to hit spawn. And the low and slow drag and twitch of the jig on the bottom for me, has been key to getting bites when the fish are slow and lethargic about two weeks after ice off.

Hey Randy not even April yet and you said May and June two best months for swim jigs😂😂Are we early on this bait?

I use three retrieves myself. Standard retrieve with varying speeds, The Alabama Shake, and The Tennessee Two Step. One of them tends to generate more strikes than another.

Black and chartreuse 3/8 oz are sold out online currently 😅

May June also July august September October great month it mimics all forage and fish always need to eat and always chase forage so mimic the bait fish and craws that’s all so to recap use it always and very way you can think of best bait yet

I love to fish a swim jig in the winter deep an barely creep it across the bottom an if you bump a log or rock pause an a lot of the bites I get come on the pause after bumping something an the skirt flares then starts to creep off same in the summer but if u bump something rip it like ur crackin a jig off the bottom an u get that reaction strike

Why a craw trailer instead of a swimbait? Wouldn't a swimbait be a better imitation of a fish?

I do keep rod higher but to say never fish lower in column I have used bouncing bottom in 3 feet to 40 feet of water with great success with California swim jig and caught monsters so I hate you always say never and always so arrogant
