Midnight Swim Jig

I have been really into making swim jigs recently because the post-spawn/early night-fishing season is quickly approaching for us.  Last year I started swimming a jig over shallow water grass beds at night when they were still in post-spawn mode and did really well.


Like any good swim jig, I have poured it with wire to hold my soft plastics as well as a minimal 8 strand brush guard for better hook-ups.  The head is painted with black vinyl with gold eyes and covered with a coat of epoxy.


This jig is tied with old school fine black rubber which gives it a really good profile.  I also have tied in some purple flashabou on the underside in keeping with the swim jig tradition.


 This thing is mean at night with a junebug grub on the back of it.
