Renowned Mille Lacs Lake guide and professional angler Tony Roach discusses how he fishes soft body swimbaits for walleye. A more aggressive jigging action typically outproduces the standard straight reel approach, with Tony digging into the details.
Tony emphasizes the importance of rigging the bait perfectly straight on a, and what characteristics make a jig a good one to pair with a swimbait. He tops off the content with a true Mille Lacs giant smallmouth, showcasing the multispecies effectiveness of a jig and soft body swimbait for all predator fish.

Could you fish this in like 20 to 30 foot of water
Longer shanks really hard to find in stores. Suggestions for a source?
That smallmouth was a tank!
Now what types of heads work best and should I NOT Texas rig one?! Giant dirty water lake in East TN and they have hit on tons of different kinds of swimbaits, just trying to understand a little better. What weight head/size hook should I use for each size swimbait, etc. etc.
Thanks in advance!
Great info thanks
Swim baits are by far my favorite bait to throw.

reight in the middle, leying on the bottom right next to the boot
fingers up in the gills.. :/
Big Bites makes a great color and profile paddle-tails. Throw it on a football head jig and keep it on the rocks and you’ll crush them!
Good to know! I don't hardly ever use paddle-tails, now I will!
I've always got a swimbait and a jig on the deck of my boat. Those are the 2 most versatile baits out there.
