You Need To Try This Swim Jig Trailer Change

The Swim Jig Trailer Nobody Uses — in this video I break down a swim jig trailer setup that gave me a different profile, better hookup power, and better fish this spring. If you’ve been wondering about the best swim jig trailer, how to fish a swim jig, or what to throw when you want a swim jig for big bass around cover, this is a good one to try. I started pairing a swim jig with a big Texas-rig worm to keep the weedlessness and hookup power of a jig, while showing bass a much different look than the standard trailers most guys throw.

I cover why this swim jig trailer works, when a big worm trailer for a swim jig makes sense, why it can outperform a standard Texas rig worm on hookup ratio, and when I’d still rather throw a more traditional swim jig trailer. I also get into how I fish it through grass and cover, the retrieve, where the better fish were set up, and the swim jig rod, reel, and line setup I like for this deal.

This video covers:
-The problem this swim jig trailer solves
-Why a bigger profile can get more attention in spring
-when a swim jig beats a swimming worm on a Texas rig
-how to fish a swim jig with a worm trailer through grass and shallow cover
-berkleythe best spots, retrieve, and gear for this setup
