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.

How To Choose The Best Jigs For Spring Bass Fishing (Beginner To Advanced Tricks)

So many jigs, so little time! We all know jigs catch BIG bass in Spring but with all the different colors, sizes, and styles, how do you know which jig to fish with? Matt cuts through the hype and the chaos and shows just how simple jig fishing can be. He demonstrates how two or three jigs can be used to match every situation, then gives up his favorite trick to catch bass after Spring storms. 

Spring jig fishing doesn't have to be complicated. As Matt demonstrates, an angler can buy a pitching jig and a pack of trailers and catch fish in nearly every circumstance. Digging a little deeper, that same angler can pick up a football jig and a flipping jig, and dial in the pattern no matter the conditions. Color selection doesn't have to be difficult either. Leaning toward natural tones in clear water and dark tones in muddy water will get consistent bites, and let's not forget Matt's Chartreuse core trick. 

As promised, we've included all our favorite jigs and colors below. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. We've also included our favorite jig rods and a budget combo that will help you catch more fish without breaking the bank.
