About the Swim Jig
A jig with a pointed, bullet-shaped head designed for swimming through vegetation and cover with a steady retrieve. Where a spinnerbait crashes through, a swim jig slides through — more subtle, more natural, and often more effective for pressured fish. Pair it with a paddle-tail trailer and swim it through grass edges, over hydrilla tops, and along dock pilings. The weed guard lets you fish it in places a crankbait would snag immediately.
