Swinging jigs are a top choice for anglers when fishing hard bottom areas. Not unlike a crankbait, they can be fished fast and are designed for making bottom contact while a free-swinging hook allows the chosen plastic trailer to move naturally. Unlike a crankbait, the jighead and single offset hook allow the bait to be fished effectively at multiple depth zones without retying and is much more snag resistant than dangling treble hooks.
Crawfish profile soft plastics are most commonly used, but Wired2Fish’s Ryan DeChaine shares his reasons why a quality swimbait pairs excellently with a swinging jig. He breaks down where he fishes it, his preferred jig and swimbait combination, rigging, and rod/reel/line specs for the job. Like crankbait fishing, it’s important to observe casting angles relative to the structure so you can make repeated productive casts.

every video i see they have rocks in them, literally no rocks in michigan dude
Epic photobomb
Very impressive, can't wait to try this technique! In trying to guess necessary weight for depth you were fishing, I'm guessing you were using either the 1/2oz. or the 3/4. Would u mind sharing that info to help gauge? I may be "bottom bugging" for smallies in 18 – 25 feet, also using straight 15# FC. I'm guessing sparse (weed) cover is ok for this technique, but the fairly solid weed beds would not lend itself to this style.
Thinking of using a big keitech swimbait on that. Your thoughts?
Never would have thought of this presentation. Awesome.
I just discovered this video today. It is a year after this was originally published; it is not a common practice for me to comment on post that have been around for a while but this time I must!
This is yet another outstanding video created by you folks @Wired2Fish! I love the content and production of this video; really great stuff! What I enjoyed even more was Ryan's presentation of the information. Great job Ryan! Now, I need to get out there and give this a try!
Sorry this comes so late, but thanks again @Wired2Fish!
What size hook do you use for 3.5 to 5 inch swimbaits ?
Big ass bass!
i really wanna try this in saltwater but with big 8 – 10 inch swimbaits. always getting snagged in the inlet.
i think this would work well for saltwater but the hook is too small. i wanna throw 8 inch swimbaits like this.
I am a big grub guy but have tried the Swim Bait as well and love it too. These produce some good Walleye too.
Photo bombed by a Loon. 😂
Genius, going to try this here in UK for big Perch! Thanks.
Damn good information!
Weird, just researching this. Have incredible results using creature baits/biffle bug, looking forward to Saturday and throwing this!
Will this work for bank fishing?
That's a great technique I love a swinghead anyway. You should put a 5in senko on it. damn son.
Really nice job
Well there goes my secret.
Thank You. I well practice this more this season.
Hey Wired2fish! Do a vid on the Jika(zika) rig!
That was excellent information ….. definitely going to give this a go 'Down Under' ..
Looked KILLA !!!!
Cheers
"down Under Mike"
Very versatile. I go slower with a baby brush hog with good results. Post and pre spawn female stagging bait… Thankfully I don't need thousands of dollars of electronics but I could see how it would be helpful in water you're not familiar with. Thanks guys
Great vid! Any idea on the weight of the swinghead he was using?
Goby imitations , do this up in lake erie
Awesome. Thank you. Real nice action. Gonna try it. Thanks again
Everybody does so in Russia for pike
Love your stuff you have been an inspiration to me
Awesome stuff always with new ideas.
That’s awesome
Great setup! Nice, fat smallmouth at the end! 🎣👍
Appreciate sonar explanation
First. Nice. Been doin this for a while. Works on largies too.
