    Just started fishing a swing head a couple of weeks ago when the bass geek did a video on it and I have to say it's proving to be a great tool to add to ya arsenal.

    I sweep it fishing deep and slow crank if I’m fishing it shallow..won a ton of money in the last 5 years with the VMC swing head..
    Use braid with a 10’ fluorocarbon leader.. making long casts you get a better hook set with that set up..IMO

    Another great learning video. Ive never fished a swing head jig. I ordered the jig heads and sizes to use this summer. Thanks for the teaching video and keep making these awesome fishing videos. I know if i incorporate all you video fishing techniques and electronic information into my tournament fishing i can win some bass club and local tournaments. THANKS for making em.

    Pointing-out the exposed rock-pile on the shoreline and identifying it as the same thing you're seeking below-surface was a great call. I have always wished that video-producers would do that because it provides a vivid image as to what can be expected. Your videos are highly informative and incorporate the use of electronics---something we all struggle with. Enjoyed this presentation.

    A swing head is my main bait on Greer’s Ferry. I fish it normally with a zoom ultravibe speed craw in the cinnamon purple color. It always seems to help me put fish after fish in the boat.

    Just getting into the academics of this - can't wait to get into next fishin season! I've been reading & watching videos like crazy on this and this was a super informative & well presented instructional video - amongst a very small group of THE BEST! First of yours I've run into, but won't be the last! Consensus I was getting was that the MH, longer rod seemed somewhat more forgiving, or bought some time for the rod to load up, whereas you feel good about the heavy action rod? Probably going with fc vs. the braid puts a H action back on the table? Interesting that your compromise with a faster gear ratio to "catchup to those fish" on those go slack/mushy bites was to go with the somewhat slower gear ratio in order to force yourself to slow down and maintain that bottom contact necessary to success. Great job!

    great content.. all my bass fishing experience i have been fishing in shallow water, i just moved on to a new lake where there is no cover and its just like a basin with no trees just rocks n silth. they are in very deep water and i know this vid will help me out next time i go there. thanks

    I love throwing the rocker/wobble head. It’s also deadly with a magnum trick worm or a bull worm if you can find them with the bigger hooks.

My son-in-law fishes a few tournaments there and really struggles. I would really like to catch a hog or two to rub it in, if you know what I mean lol. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you and keep up the great work you do.

      @thegloriousfall 5 років тому

      Totally. I have them at my home lake and still catch plenty of big bass. You just have to use heavier line and be mindful of line fray. I use 15 # invizx like he suggests and just check every few casts in case I need to retie.
