Best ways to fish it (demo)
Swim Jig Trailer
Shallow grass, slow roll
Texas Rig
Pitching to cover
Ball Jig Head
Dragging sand or rock
Split Shot
Natural subtle glides
Best for
Walleye, smallmouth, largemouth, crappie, and perch when you want steady action without a big profile.
Style
A “chub-and-grub” look: subtle body roll plus a curl tail that keeps pulsing through the whole retrieve.
Where it shines
Rock and gravel edges, weedline turns, current seams, and bottom transitions where fish feed tight but still chase.
Grub rule: the best retrieve is the one that keeps the tail working. If you don’t feel a pulse, slow down, lighten up, and let it breathe.
Top 3 ways we fish it
Straightforward rigs that stay effective year-round.
Jig & Swim
Cast, count it down, and swim it just off bottom like a cruising baitfish.
- Rig on a light ball head and thread it perfectly straight so it tracks true.
- Use a slow, steady retrieve with short “kills” so it drops and restarts.
- Let it tick rock or graze grass tops—contact is the trigger.
Bottom Hop & Drag
Keep it in the zone when fish are nosed down and feeding close.
- Make long casts to points, breaks, or flats and let it settle to bottom.
- Move it with short hops, then drag a foot or two and pause.
- Watch for “weight” on the pause—many bites feel like the bait just stops.
Current-Seam Swing
Use moving water to load the tail while you guide it through the lane.
- Cast slightly up-current and let it sink until you feel light tension.
- Track the seam with the rod tip so it swings naturally without dragging hard.
- When it reaches softer water, stall it—strikes often happen on the hang.
