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, and river fish that want a fuller meal without jumping to a big swimbait.
Style
Steady thump with built-in drag from the ribbed body—keeps working at slower speeds and in current.
Where it shines
Gravel bars, wing dams, riprap, and open-water edges where fish track by feel as much as sight.
Grub rule: when bites feel “mushy,” slow your retrieve before you downsize—often they want the same bait, just less speed.
Top 3 ways we fish it
Let the tail work—your job is speed control.
Jig & Swim
The bread-and-butter approach for covering water.
- Rig it straight so the curl tail opens fully on the pull.
- Count it down and swim it just off bottom—no need to grind.
- When you tick rock, pause briefly and let it re-load.
Drag & Glide
Slow things down when fish hug bottom.
- Use a lighter head and drag with the rod, not the reel.
- Let the curl tail sweep on the pause—it keeps moving even when you don’t.
- When you feel pressure instead of a tap, lean into it.
Current Swing
Put current to work instead of fighting it.
- Cast up and across, then let it arc through the seam.
- Hold light tension so the tail thumps without lifting.
- At the end of the swing, pause—it often gets pinned there.
