  • In this episode I talk about how to catch bass using a swim jig in cold or warm water.
    The main key to leave with is:
    Colder (or pressured) water = less action
    Warmer water = more action

    Zona you are absolutely the very best. I would buy water from you in a rain storm. Best content out there. My home lakes are Havasu, Mohave, and Mead. Every video you make helps me to put more fish in the boat. Especially the smallmouth stuff. You and Hackney are the funniest human beings on the planet.

    Right on. I agree. I fell in love with swimjigs again last year. I don't think I was on the water once when one wasn't tied on. Been throwing more swimbait trailers on them though. You throw them in the dirtiest of water? That's about the only time I find them sitting on the deck and not being chucked.

      Been doing this for two years, totally agree with the hookset. If you hit em as soon as you feel them thump it you'll lose every one of them. Also. I use a green pumpkin rage swimmer a lot. The menace is what I turn to most of the time but the swimmer is a great option

    • @MarkZonaFishing
      @MarkZonaFishing  4 года назад +1

      Same rod action but the colder the water the slower you want your swim jig to be moving. I prefer a 1/4 oz when it's in the 40's.

      Basically I use very natural colors the majority of the time. Black has it's place - white has it's place but for the most part I want natural colors like green pumpkin which tends to work in almost all water colors and conditions.
