Field Notes

Use this bladed vibrating swim jig when you want a high-activity presentation that still maintains a jig’s bottom-contact capability. Fish it fast or slow and vary the retrieve depth (up high or down deep) to match cover and forage, using the blade’s flash and thump to trigger reaction bites.

Pros

  • Bladed vibrating design for strong flash and thump
  • Jungle-style flipping hook for a high hookup ratio
  • Can be fished fast/slow and shallow/deep

Cons

  • Best results depend on dialing in retrieve speed and depth
  • Blade action can be less effective in very clear, pressured conditions without cover
