Tips for “Worming” Swim Jigs for Bass in Laydowns

Naturally occurring woody cover like laydowns are prime bass fishing cover but can be challenging to fish with conventional baits like jigs and spinnerbaits. Wired2fish's Mitch Anderson makes his case for fishing laydowns using a light swim jig paired with a bulky trailer to better "float" and "worm" his lure through a tangle of fish-holding branches.

Whereas conventional jigs tend to plummet through the branches and a spinnerbait or ChatterBait lack the depth control, a properly rigged swim jig can be fished through, over, and under branches with utmost stealth and depth control. In addition to tackle recommendations, Anderson explains his preference for targeting laydowns adjacent to deep water and the importance of working each tree from a few different angles.

Another awesome video! My last like 5 videos have all been swim jig. I like the 6th Sense Divine Swim Jig but this is the first year I’ve really been throwing it. I can say I always have one tied on. It seems to work in literally all conditions.

[@Wired2Fish]

It is a pretty versatile bait!

I actually cut a mondo worm that was chewed up, took like inch and half off and stuck it on a booya jig to swim it. 1/4 I believe it was haven't used it but it looks juicy lol. Great vid man!

[@TexasDigitalOutdoors]

[@mojarritamartinez7798]

👊👍🎣👏👏

[@Jay_Wood]

“Good deal”

[@MrJacksjb]

One thing from watching fishing videos on KZbin is I can tell when they get a bite by focusing on the rod tip. I used to watch my line when fishing, now I watch my rod tip more. I think I have noticed more light strikes from doing this. Watch his rod tip at kzbin.info/www/bejne/npWpdpujZrmhd8U

[@miguelalejandroguareno9356]

👏👏👏🎣👌🤙

[@j-hookedfishing1133]

What is that shad lure at 1:17?

[@Wired2Fish]

That is a 13 Fishing Dine Swimbait. I added some orange to the belly with a spike it pen. Here is a link to the bait: wired2.fish/TheDine

[@gettypike8201]

What weight jig was that?

[@cdub5738]

1:36 he says 3/8 oz.

[@Wired2Fish]

Yup! It’s a 3/8 oz

[@nateolmanson6217]

even my duetanic (aka colorblind) friend can tell it's a rage bug, not a rage menace or worm

[@nateolmanson6217]

smh unbelievable actually it's a rage bug
