Tom Monsoor: Why Your Swim Jig Isn’t Working (Built Right = More Bites)

from Catch More Bass — Bass Fishing Podcast · host Tom Redington

Bass Fishing Tips: Swim jig fishing for bass is are  one of the most reliable ways to get bit, especially around grass and shallow cover. But if your swim jig doesn’t run true / track straight, you’ll get fewer bites—and if the hook setup is wrong, you’ll miss or lose fish that crush it. In this episode, Tom Monsoor (swim jig pioneer and one of the most respected swim jig minds in the sport) breaks down the two biggest “quiet killers” that make swim jigs inconsistent: Why a swim jig doesn’t run perfectly true (and what makes it list/lean or “hunt”) How the hook choice and hook details can cost bites and cost fish at the boat The build and setup details that separate a swim jig that “kind of works” from one that’s dialed How to think about swim jig balance so it tracks clean and stays effective in real cover Part 2 (next episode) goes deep on the system: the only 3 colors, 3 trailer styles, and 2 retrieves you need—plus the rules for choosing the right one fast.
