Thanks for pointing out that swim jigs are jigs! I've been saying this for years! I always have one tied on. They one of the absolute best baits for heavily pressured waters. My son and I were out fishing and recording video the other day and he caught his nicest fish of the day on a 3/8 oz swim jig. Beautiful fish. It got a prominent spot on my latest post.
I love to fish a swim jig especially in ponds because it is so weedless. Your videos are always so informative yet they are compact which makes it easy to find the main points in the video. Keep up the great work, Tyler!
What I enjoy most from your videos are the little “seeds” that you plant in my mind that will “sprout” while encountering various situations in the future. Retrieving just below the water’s surface is one such gem from this video.🤙👊👍😎
Go get yourself a Dirty Jigs finesse swim jig in bluegill and pair it with a Reaction Innovations Little Dipper in the Sungill color and go make some hay! Far and away my best and favorite way to catch 'em in the weed choked ponds here in N CO. Hang it up in the grass and rip it out, swim it through the laydowns, sit it on the bottom and wiggle during the bluegill spawn. If you ask me, a swim jig is the very very best search bait one could ask for and gets bites when you cant buy one with anything else! Huck and wind, burn and pause, slow and steady...it all works
Love your videos man been watching for a long time. Glad you did a swim jig video. This is something I want to get more confident with this year. Always helpful and informative
I caught a nice 3+ pounder pitching a swim jig with a Keitech trailer into a laydown because it was what I had tied on. That paddle tail on a 3/8th oz swim jig really gives it a nice slow fall.
Thanks for the info, Tyler... great content, really enjoy the channel. Swim jig is one of my favorite techniques. I love on a small, shallow, weedy lake and it's an excellent way to fish that body of water, so thanks for the tips! Keep up the great work, love it!
I’m a huge fan of the swimjig! Very versatile! That said, I don’t use craw trailers, swimbaits only! Dwalker 120 Largo Shad 3.5 Keiteck Fat 3.8 Only swimjig I use is the Dirty Jigs line up! Give ‘em a try🎣🤙
Hey Tyler: Last summer, I began using exactly those Freedom Tackle 3/8oz black/blue swim jigs and they worked great! As for trailers, my Strike King 4" Rage Structure Bugs were getting torn up, so I switched to ZMAN Hella CrawZ. Same action with much better durability.
Did anyone notice at 7:35 in the video there was a huge boil behind Tyler over his right shoulder??? I was like jeeze! Great video! That’s one of my confidence lures up here in Ohio because we have a lot of grass and other aquatic vegetation.
How do you work a swim jig as a football dragging ot across the bottom. Never would have thought you could use a swim jig as a dragging, or flipping jig
I see you like those Ark Tharp series rods. Have you used the B-Hittay? I have one and it’s amazing for chatterbaits and lipless cranks, which are my 2 confidence lures. It’s an amazing rod for $130 and by far my favorite rod I own. Give it a shot if you haven’t already. I think I’m going to check that money maker rod out as well.
I'd appreciate your input on this. I can slay them all day with swimjig or chatterbait with a paddletail but I dont have luck with a craw ever. Ill admit i have zero confidence in using a swim craw because it just doesnt make sense to me. A craw doesnt swim endlessly, so the few times i've tried and was unsuccessful i changed to a paddletail and immediately catch bass. Is this just a mental thing i need to get over?
Craw trailer (ZMAN Hella CrawZ) on a swim jig swimming it slower and letting it sink to bottom a few times on the way in works great for me. As for paddletails, they're still my favourite but I prefer fishing them weedless on a belly-weighted swimbait hook, not on a jig.
Sorry that dang bird was really annoying to me!

Always great videos Tyler and the information is awesome and helpful! Thanks
I’ve been forcing myself to only take a swim jig. It’s hard but worth it!
This info really helps. Debo just sent me some of his hand made swimjigs this winter and I want to put em to work
Good tips Ty stay safe down there and tight lines to you.
Tharp series of rods are awesome. Best bang for your buck. That same rod is my favorite swim jig rod also.
Another awesome video. Florida looks so amazing. Can't wait to go back
Super helpful, thanks!
It reminded me of "Failure To Launch" with Matthew McConaughey lol
"It's that gall-damn devil bird outside my gall-damn window!"
🤣🤣🤣🐦
Tip for you. You can stab a zman spinner blade into the craw or paddle tail bait right by the shank of the hook to get some extra flash (underspin)
Sup. This was perfect video! I bought some freedom tackle lures, and 2 are my first swim jigs, can't wait to use them. Ty tc
Golden! Thanks buddy.
2 swim jigs I just recently picked up and can't wait to throw them is the green fish tackle and evergreen grass ripper they both look great
The Alabama shake...😂 as an Alabama I approve👍🏼
My favorite bait brotha 👍 Just don't tell Randy B it's a jig he might do another whining video lol
Good stuff. Can not wait for lake by my house in Michigan to melt. Almost there. I’m dying
Yiu looked like those gnats were a real pain. Great advice on the jig. I always have one ready to go.
Love the teeth marks on the head of that jig!
Ty great information question though do you trim your weed guards to get better hook ratio or leave factory set
Following!
Really good info. Thanks for all the great videos.
Really digging the content… keep the bangers coming!
Are you burning your reel keeping a jig top water on a 3/8?
Loved the info
Great info, keep it coming!
Like the way you explained this great job 👏
Love me swim jig!!
Love the channel. Can I use this in 15 foot or deeper water? What to use in May for 15 feet or deeper?
Good solid info thanks for the vid
Those gnats at Headwaters can be a real pain.
Do you every cut down your weed guard...if so do you maintain the same angle of the original cut ✂️ ?
How come bruin and ark rod now ? No okuma
How do you work a swim jig as a football dragging ot across the bottom. Never would have thought you could use a swim jig as a dragging, or flipping jig
do you trim your weed guards to be horizontal with the hook?
I love that you love love pink as much as I do in lures it’s an awesome color( this is my moms phone)
Great video.

Sure do have one. Ill be putting it to use here soon!
My favorite is the Grinder for chatterbaits. I used to miss a lot of fish on one. But, not anymore! Love the Ark Tharp rods!

It looks like Headwaters Lake. If so, Welcome. I love the videos, I have learned a lot from you.
You nailed it
Hey where can you find a pink swim jig my girlfriend has been looking for one forever lol thanks for the videos man. Fellow Ohioan here
Great tips! Thanks. Thoughts on right v lefthand retrieve reels, especially for someone who has only fished spinning gear with lefthand retrieve?
I lowkey thought he was gonna shoot the birds when he said hold on and got up 🤣
94 degree water temp, holy snot
But they come in second place behind the plastic worm.
Bout rips his lips off !!😁
No more garage videos...
