Swinging Jigs For Summer Bass (Tips That Actually Matter)

Its time to change it up! Summer is here and this technique gets BIG bites when nothing else will. Quit throwing the same old Summer baits and show them something completely different! The swinging jig is easy to fish, doesn't require specialized gear, and most importantly, the big ones eat it!
This technique goes by many names. You may have heard of the wobble head, biffle head, free swinging jig, or swinging jig... all references to the same technique. We combining the swinging jig with either a creature bait or small swimbait to create a profile that bass can't resist. As you swim it along the bottom the bait will bump along, deflecting off cover, and drawing reaction strikes from the bass.
Virtually every brand makes a creature bait that could work with this technique. However, there are a few that rise above the rest. Below you'll find links to all the baits, heads, and gear discussed in the video, beginning with the "If you could only have one" bait choice. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
