There are many types of jigs that are all meant for different purposes. Swim jigs are meant to be fished above the bottom of the lake more like a crankbait. But then there are football head or finesse jigs which people commonly think of when they hear the term “jig” that are meant to drag the bottom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

But what many people don\u2019t know is that jigs are more versatile than just what they\u2019re labelled for.<\/strong> Can you swim a football jig? Yes. Can you fish a swim jig on the bottom? Also yes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

A swim jig wasn\u2019t created to fish on the bottom, but it\u2019s absolutely possible if you don\u2019t have another type of jig. Just remember the below tips to avoid mishaps and you can easily catch great bass dragging a swim jig across the bottom of your local lake or river. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

So the major difference between swim jigs and other jigs meant to be fished on the bottom is head type. Swim jigs don\u2019t have flat or elongated rounded bottoms that drag the bottom of the lake well like a football or finesse jig. Instead they have shallow rounded bottoms that are meant to come through tight spaces in the water well. And they are often painted and have lifelike characteristics, but this isn\u2019t going to hurt you trying to hop along the bottom.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

So why does the head design matter?<\/strong> When dragging a jig on the bottom it\u2019s important that it stays upright so that the hook doesn\u2019t tilt and get caught in anything on the bottom of the lake. It also keeps the trailer upright and gives it the most realistic looking action. A heavy flat bottom will help keep that hook up in the air, while a swim jig type head has a tendency to fall over more easily because it doesn\u2019t have the surface area on it\u2019s head to keep it upright.<\/span><\/p>

But, you can get around this a few ways.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

One of the easiest is to just fish it quickly and just bounce it across the bottom instead of slowly dragging it. In this scenario, you don\u2019t let it sit long enough to actually fall over and are mimicking a crayfish or bait fish bouncing across the bottom trying to flee from a predator. But you still can fish the bottom if bass are in that area.<\/span><\/p>

Another is to let your trailer do the work of keeping the swim jig upright. If you have a beaver style bait or anything with a large flat bottom – like this Strike King<\/strong> Rage Bug<\/strong><\/a> – it will keep the jig upright by itself. Just make sure to thread it on so that it is even with the head and the most surface area as possible is flat on the bottom. Instead of the head keeping the jig upright, the trailer will. And you can fish it just like a normal jig.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Another potential factor to consider is the weed guard, or lack thereof<\/em> on some swim jigs. This is just plastic wires that stick straight off the jig\u2019s head and towards the hook point. They are strong and stiff, designed to push away debris, weeds, or other things that could easily get hooked by the exposed hook on any jig.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

All jigs fished on the bottom will come with this to prevent accidentally catching anything on the bottom of the lake. Some swim jigs come with this, some do not<\/strong>. If yours does, then just make sure the weed guard is long enough to completely cover the point of the hook and you\u2019ll have no further issues.<\/span><\/p>

But if you don\u2019t, then you need to know you can\u2019t fish a swim jig in really dense brush like you might be able to another type of jig<\/strong>. You will simply get hung up without a weed guard to protect your hook. It\u2019s possible though to build your own if you have the time, want, and materials. Watch this video<\/a> for a good tutorial or be imaginative with what you have on hand. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A final difference you\u2019ll want to consider are all the types of trailers you can use and how to rig them. Normally, a swim jig can have many types of trailers when swam in the water and paddle tails are really popular. When fishing the bottom with a swim jig though, you\u2019ll want to focus only on using beaver or craw style baits.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

As mentioned earlier the first benefit this will provide is keeping your swim jig upright so that the hook doesn\u2019t dig into the bottom of the lake and hook debris. Beaver style baits with their wide bodies are especially good for this purpose, but anything with a large flat bottom can work.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

But craw and beaver style baits are also more natural trailers for a jig fished on the bottom. You are mimicking a crawdad in most situations, and these baits are most effective at that. A swimbait bounces on the bottom just won\u2019t have any realistic looking action and not match what you\u2019re trying to imitate. So stick with craw and beaver styles when fishing a swim jig on the bottom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

If you use all the tips above, you can easily fish a swim jig on the bottom if you have a reason to or simply don\u2019t have any other jigs available. When I first started fishing, I had a swim jig that I used both ways simply because I didn\u2019t know any better and thought all jigs were the same. And I caught fish.<\/strong> I also caught a lot of debris on the bottom, which is how I found out to prevent it from happening with beaver style trailers, bouncing across the bottom and creating my own weed guards. They aren\u2019t ideal, but they\u2019ll work and still catch great fish.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
