dmayer88 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 .....hopped or fished like a jig. Bingo. ....want to pick a few colors to try this summer. Also try it before everything freezes over in the Northeast........slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Ramen Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 It can be worked any way you want. I've caught fish on it just chucking and winding, like any other swimbait. I've caught fish using it like a big worm and I've caught fish jigging it. Even punch/flip with it sometimes. ATFISHING1234 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reelfish Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I like the chuck and swim in the Spring and jig it in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reelfish Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Does this not sink too fast to work it back at a moderate steady retrieve ? It swims good at those speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Ramen Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Does this not sink too fast to work it back at a moderate steady retrieve ? It works fine like that. My first two good swimbait fish came on a Mission Fish just retrieved moderately slow at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiggerjake Posted January 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 OK,Thanks. Another question...do these sit nose down or lay flat on the bottom when at rest ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWIMBO Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Mickey had a video on it that use to be linked to swimbait nation I'm not sure what happened to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass Addict Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I swim it slow in the middle of the water column or drag it on the bottom, it works well both ways. I like the 6" or > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lakes are usually 10 feet or less. So swimming it slow......is dragging it on the bottom. So I usually work it like a jig. Mess around with it, you'll figure it out.
