Ckerow..green pumpkin or black blue. 20 lb line on a casting.rod..   Toss.it.to.stumps.or wood. Let it sink, shake it a.couple times.  Reel it in and.do it again.  If you feel a.tap set the.hook.  fish it for 10 hours.and you will get it.  Leave.the other rods in the locker.  No mystery to it.  It just takes time

Sweet thanks what type of trailers?

[dartag]

I use Chigger Craws or strike king rage craw.  Mostly green pumpkin.   I make my own jig heads but there are many good ones to buy out there

Quality jigs I like are made by Chippewa lures. Made in michigan, look them up on Facebook they are good guys to work with. Team them up with reaction inovations smallie beaver or kinky beaver and your good to go. Keep them on the bottom bouncing around bumping into cover. When I started to learn how to jig fish I started with heavier jigs just to get a feel for things. 3/4 oz and 1/2oz

Thanks everybody anyone try swimming them?

[dartag]

That works to.  The hardest thing to do is keep fishing it.  That is why you keep the other rods packed away.   Once.you start catching fish you will be hooked on fishing them

What kind of trailers for swim jigging and is white any good?

[gmetime24]

If swimming jigs try to match the forage and I like rage craws if throwing swim jigs

[djkimmel]

I like white for swim jigs. I also like white in the fall when I'm fishing the shad (or in Michigan, alewife) runs.

Matching the hatch is a good standard recommendation. Sometimes I go against the grain if that isn't working or there's so much food I'm wondering if I'm getting the bass' attention. I also like bright colors sometimes in muddy water or maybe during the spawn, or fall 'aggression' periods.

Since I make and sell Oldjiggers copperhead jigs I am a bit predjudice but I fish a jig with a jiggerbug trailer 90% of the time.
