Chatterbait And Swim Jig Tricks For Summer Bass!
Bladed jigs and swim jigs are great lures for catching bass in Summer! They can be fished in and around cover and can catch bass in all sorts of different environments. However, there are some key details to fishing these baits in Summer that differs from other times of year.
Fishing a chatterbait or swim jig in Summer is all about grass and heavy cover. Your rod and line are two key details that most anglers overlook this time of year. The same setup you were using in Spring may not be right for Summer fishing. The key is to create a situation where the baits have "hang time" as they break free of grass and debris. Once you dial in this trick you will catch way more fish than the other anglers around you.
In addition to dialing in your gear, there are a few different baits and trailers that will help you get more bites in different situations. Below you'll find links to the exact baits, including sizes, colors, and trailer options, that we fish in the Summer. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
