Probably 3 weeks into taking fishing seriously. Fished as a kid and messing around now and then. But I have found your videos to be (for me) more informative and relatable than most other channels. I like some other guys as well. But I always check you first for information. Thanks for your help man!
I started using the swim jig the last 2 times out and this last time I varied it up by adding an upward swing then a fall and it got hammered. So as I watch your video's I am learning more and more to vary retrieves and presentations. Keep up the great content.
Great video!! I've started using a S.J. after watching your videos. I reel it in slow & let it sink in the grass holes. then jig it a few times. It's a 2 in 1 lure. It's my new confidence bait!!! Thank you!!
“When I was young”... haha. you are definitely still young my friend. But still a great angler. Keep the good content coming.
Haha I guess so!
@@TylersReelFishing what party of texas do you live/fish
I admit, I did snicker a bit at your reference to your youth when I'm looking forward to my 70th birthday in a couple weeks.
Thanks for the content. Getting serious about my fishing and it helps to get tips from a fellow Texan. Everyone’s water is so different so thanks for the great advice.
Great format sitting and standing up, I need look over your content. especially plastic baits and jig baits💙🇦🇺
Great instructional video Tyler! A swim jig is definitely something I suck at and need to use your advice to be more confident in. Tight lines man!
Thanks terry!
Excellent intro Brother!! Thank you for the great tips..Lord bless you buddy! ☝️👊
Great video! The swim jig is a confidence bait for me and that is partly because of you. The video you did on trailers showed me the best way to rig the rage menace is vertical. I’ve caught them like that all year last year and haven’t slowed down since. Love the channel
Awesome!
@@TylersReelFishing I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but out of the few days I’ve tried them haven’t gotten a fish on it yet I’ve tried black and blue, green pumpkin, green pumpkin + orange, and a purple green and silver.
I had the best day of fishing in my life this weekend using a swim jig. It’s mid October and here in MN the pads/millfoil are dying off so I finally retired the frog and started chucking a 3/8 oz green pumpkin swim jig and it was on! I caught so many large mouth my thumb was raw by the end of the day.
That’s awesome!!
I hate intros on fishing videos. But something about yours is awesome. Love the song and all. Great job man
Thank you Jake! I recently changed from that intro, but I have years of that on my channel!
I had to rewind just to make sure I heard you correctly at 8:26 but I am so glad I’m not the only other person that uses “dolt” still 😂
It’s a very common word in my vernacular haha
Used your video to learn how to fish the SJ. Man, I wore em out today! I got a school fired us with it and they were fighting each other all the way to the boat, it was nuts! Thanks for great videos
Heck yeah!!
As always love the videos and tips but at this moment want to applaud your editor(s) for the “Lews” tag coming up in the bottom left corner as the fish you tossed back in splashed. 6:37 Very cool and well put together. A simple thing but probably most never noticed it. Respect for that
Thanks Joe! Editor is me haha
Great video,not a strong bait for me so I really enjoyed this 1,keep up the good work
Thanks for watching Scott!
Hey Tyler you are one sharp guy I'm 57 yrs old and I've only seen about 5 of your videos and every time I watch one it's good it's informative nice job bro Tyler that swim jig is deadly . Hey Tyler try the rainbow color from OutKast tackle it has tinsel mixed in with the skirt you will get alot more bites I think that tinsel makes the skirt alot more visible and it's easier for the bass to to track it and hammer it god bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike.
Yes that’s a great color!
Can you do a video on what you carry in your backpack when going fishing?
7’3 med hvy-hvy rod 7:3:1 reel, then crank and wined boys !! Love a swimmy jigger, throw that thing from March-December!!
Ok I'm stupid, I have lots of those swim jigs and have been fishing them WRONG! I watch a lot of fishing Utuber's this is the first swim jig how to that I have watched. Thanks TRF.
Glad you learned something Chris!
check out tactical bassin for more videos!!!!!!

@@miketurenne7204I have watched plenty of Tactical Baasin and while they have great content I think they (Matt) can over complicate things or give a little too much info. JMO
@@davidscerbo7101absolutely. I love watching them but I’m just not at a level where I can synthesize all of the words coming at me into useful knowledge
So after watching the vid, went fishing today. Using white jig with white crawdad trailer, swimming it like you said. Caught a 5.13 lb largemouth! Thank you very much, keep up the vids!!!
Let’s go!! That’s what I’m talkin bout🙌🏼
Thanks for the reply!
Awesome video Tyler
So what's the right way to retrieve/work the swim jig?
Blessings tyler!! Can come along and fish with you??!! Thank you for all your tips! I know this is an older video, but I'm extremely grateful for all your tips and tricks!
Maybe one day man!
I have a question; why would he want to cover a lot of water in the fall?
Great content thanks.
Thank you so much, never really knew how to use Swim Jigs (could you do a Swim Jig trailer video?)
I definitely could!
Mr TRF can you please please do a video where have to fish at a lake but on the bank cuz I'm a fisherman who fishes at a public lake on land every time I go out there I get skunked I mean all it is there is rocks sticks in the water no grass no structure is just all playing I need help please
Danm bro you don't gotta expose me like. That that hurt i felt that 🤣🤣
So im totally new to Bass fishing. 50 years old and have found a new passion. Thanks for the info. (My wife isnt as excited as i am)😂😂
Let’s go! Happy to have ya around
What set up are you using?
Jmsp.Excellent bass fishing video.
These instructionals have been great. Keep ‘um coming!
Appreciate it!
Check out chatterbait project z weedless they come with a weed guard and they are awesome. I strictly use them or a jackhammer I use a jig when flipping grass mixed with cover .
Hey Tyler, I heard this tip from a college guy down at UCF and he uses a Heavy/Mod-Fast rod. Have you ever tried throwing that and tested that? I’m just starting to test it but I’d love to hear your take.
I’d also like to hear why you throw Fluoro vs Braid?
Good video bud i struggle with a swim jig but I love a football jig or like a hack attack I never can make myself swim a swim jig mostly try fishing it like a football and Norris lake is really rocky I've lost a ton of them
You’ve got it!
I throw swim jigs year round I caught my pb the fish in the profile picture on a swimjig skipping under docks
Pretty slick new intro.
Appreciate it!
If I don't get bit swimming a swim jig I will just dead stick it.
"... because let's face it... You're no good at it." I felt that.
Just calling a potato a potato
Coop vid kid .... I loved to throw the swimjig around wood .... the more you run into the structure the more bites
Swim jigs are good I might start fishing them more.
Do it! Check out my 2nd swim jig video too if you liked this one👍🏼czcams.com/video/JQsH2doZbu8/video.html
So after the cast, you just reel it back? How far under the water?
Usually around shallow cover, so less than 4-5 feet. I keep mine 3 feet or shallower at all times. I made a better version of this video, if you search “TylersReelFishing swim jig” you’ll find it
Seems like the only swim jig-specific technique you mentioned was momentarily pausing the swim jig on the retrieve. I was hoping for more...also Z-man sells a chatter bait with a weed-guard 😉
What kind of line you use for swim jigs? Thanks
Usually fluorocarbon, but if the water is dirty and the cover is heavy, I throw 50lb braid. The line I used in this video is linked in the video description 👍🏼
Hopefully somebody giving me ultra light fishing rod set more experience for and upgrade my Fishing rod from philippines
Good stuff ++
What does it take for an angler in the ATX area to fish with you some time?
It would be a guide fee, but I don’t do many of those based on my available time
According to Tom Monsoor you're not supposed to have to set the hook on a swim jig. He has a really really good video on swimjig fishing. Can you imagine the day he figured out the swim jig and when he started in tournaments with it.
Trust me...Tom sets the hook on a swim jig..just don't have to very hard
@@natehoodoo6246 yes watched him plenty of times set hook hard with swim jig. He lives 15 miles from me and fishes our open tournaments we host ran into him alot on the Mississippi
What kind of rods and reels you use?
My gear is always linked in the video description 👍🏼
Great tips buddy! Swim jigs can catch some donks!!!
No doubt man!
What are your thoughts on turning the trailer sideways to give it a different profile. I've heard that works well with the chatterbait too. So instead of the trailer laying flat, it is sideways to give an almost bluegill shape profile so it almost appears as it has a tail swimming movement behind.
I talk about that specific topic in this video! czcams.com/video/n2pyZYKk0tM/video.html
@@TylersReelFishing I missed it, I will watch it again. Maybe not do work at the same time this time.
So I watched again, which I do on many of your tutorial videos, I saw the discussion of the chatter bait but not the discussion of turning the trailers sideways.
@@TylersReelFishing Didn't realize you linked a different video. Watched it. Thanks
Nice video
Question: So, I've been hearing a ton about pads and vegetation. My question is, with you mentioning the height of the sun (or time of the day) and how the bite turns off as sun gets higher, could this be because of the shadow that the pad or vegetation supplies, thins, as the sun gets higher? Therefore, taking away the fish's positional advantage (the shadows)? The reason I ask this is because, I've been getting skunked hard, but I've also been getting on the water very late and it's a very crowded lake.
Hmm I guess I would have to go back and watch what I said in this video. In northern climates, the bite underneath vegetation will get better as the sun gets higher because it positions to fish underneath, and gives them shade.
Down south in the hot months, it just gets too hot in general for the fish to stay shallow during the heat of the day, even underneath shade, unless it is intense shade like a boat dock
But yes, one of your biggest problems is the time you are getting out there. Try before sunrise until one hour after. I bet you will have some success.
@@TylersReelFishing bet, thanks a ton man. This is my other channel lol.
which rod are using .... specs? TP1 I got
It’s linked in the description
I get a kick out of him saying " when he was young" hell, he can't be more than 22 or 23 years old ! That's pretty funny for a 76 year old fisherman who has been an avid fisherman since he was 10 years old
And has witnessed first hand everything that has come along in modern bass fishing. Good video though youngster,
Appreciate it Thomas! Glad to have ya around the channel
When I was young. 🤣 what? Boy you don’t have any facial hair yet 😂. All jokes brotha all jokes. Nice vid tho
Since spring all I’ve been catching them on is a jig or swim jig
Nice!
What kind of ring is that it’s huge!
czcams.com/video/26sJaIE_JKY/video.html
Just got into swim jig bass fishing business. Used to use swimbaits but got tired of ripped lures. Thanks for informing me the proper utilization techniques
Of course! I’ve also made an updated version of this topic, so search “TylersReelFishing swim jig” to find it 👍🏼
What’s the song at 6:00?
Its a song from a website I subscribe to. Not listenable to the public
Lol when i was young there was no swim jigs or chatterbaits
Question about the fishing shirts. Are they cool in the summer also? My dad like to protect his skin because of skin cancer and I thought this might be a nice shirt for summer if it’s not too hot.
Watch my videos from this entire summer. I put out a LOT. And yes, I’m wearing a long sleeve AFTCO sun shirt in every single video. Code TRF saves you 15% at the website 🙌🏼
The Yurei, Barracuda Geocool, Samurai, and Jason Christie are my favorites
Your still a young angler 🤣
Can u take me fishing next summer.
That'd be a 2 minute penalty Tyler...
Lol..jk
Great informative video! 💯💯🔥🔥
Haha thanks!
Uh oh I'm here before he told us on Snapchat what to comment
You escaped your task for today. Well done
you can get away with 12-14# sniper. you'll also lose more with wide sweeping hooksets like you did in this vid; just watch your line and keep reeling lifting slightly once you feel them on. try it and let me know what you think. the greatest swimjig angler of all time runs 12# line, but see a lot of your youtube peers pitching 17# and up. i prefer 12-14#. anyway, great vid.
Born n raised in okeechobee, 30lb braid and up is all we use down here. Fishing some pretty heavy cover, I don’t own a bass rod with anything other than braid. Only way to go.
@@jbob2852 agree with you with regard to heavy cover. the swimjig is just as deadly in open water and around sparse isolated cover ie stumps, sticks and lay downs etc...or bare banks. i've had a ton of success on 12# assassin as i throw only qtr oz swimjigs. i've even pulled them out of heavy mats on 12# fluoro floating it over the mats granted you can't just rip them out. but around lily pads...braid IS a must and will not throw fluoro around lily pads. likewise i like 30# sunline sx1 as it saws through grass. if the water is clear or if i'm around wood i do like a 2' fluoro 15-20# leader tied on. if i'm swimjigging though it's always shallow...no deeper than 4' and ideally 1-2'. Tyler is legit and was poking at the title as it truly is different strokes for different folks...but i always try to get away with lighter line first as the action on the bait is better. when i run 12# fluoro i'm reel setting...on braid then it's sweeps all day.
@@HBeretta right on! I just started fishing a swim jig recently. I been stuck on crappie for last 15 yrs but getting back into some bass. Whole new ball game these days!
@@jbob2852 crappie fishing is great man...especially when it comes to stocking your freezer.
3/8 vs 1/4oz??
3/8 always UNLESS you have really shallow grass
When I was a young angler lol
Sub’d because of the 15% Aftco discount 😬
YES🙌🏼 Use the heck outa that thing
So... if your swim jig is meant to mimic a bait fish, wouldn't a life-like swimbait be the better option?
Because a swimbait doesn’t actually imitate a tail at all. Tails of a fish aren’t round and flapping side to side. A more cylindrical trailer looks more like an actual baitfish
What can I use on a 6.2 gear ratio I got a curado dc for Christmas in 6.2 ratio
Cranks and square bills
Night fishing for bass
What’s the button on your hat?
It's the Anglr Bullseye! Pretty cool deal for pre-fishing/breaking down water but even better for actually fishing. The Anglr app is basically a digital logbook that allows you to drop waypoints and saves all sorts of data about each fish catch that you can come back in later and view or edit. Stuff like wind speed and direction, air temp, barometric pressure, etc. The app is free but they offer add-ons like the Bullseye that just make it a lot easier to use and better. That's the little thing on my hat in the video. It's like 30 bucks but you can bluetooth link it to your phone and that way each time you catch a fish you just hit the Bullseye and it logs all that stuff without having to take your phone out each time. People compare ANGLR to Fishbrain, but it’s wayyyy better than Fishbrain
Nice video. But dude. On a nice boat with all that gear, but no pliers? Lol.
I’ve got 2 pairs of pliers. I only use em when the hook is really stuck. Most of the time I can get it out with my hands
Am I the only one that noticed he didn't actually explain how to fish it. He didn't explain ,reeling it, or how to work the action on it, just where a bit
This was early on in my instructional journey. I’ve gotten a lot better now. See my recent videos, and this specific one on the same topic: czcams.com/video/JQsH2doZbu8/video.html
Excellent advice but just a piece of advice for you, get plyers on your boat bro!
I’ve got em now! Made this video years ago lol
Weedlessness is now a word, Webster’s is picking it up.
Haha
The swim jig is one of the most underrated lures i think
I fully agree jay
Was looking for some advanced tips. More entertaining than informative.
Watch this video then: czcams.com/video/JQsH2doZbu8/video.html
👍💯
Our fall temp is 40-55 lol
No, that’s not anyone’s fall water temp, that’s early winter/winter
Good video but was expecting more of an actual breakdown on how to work the bait rather than just you casting it. Line, preferred rod, reel speed, etc.
I’ve gotten significantly better at teaching since this video was filmed. See this one: czcams.com/video/JQsH2doZbu8/video.html
Fayette?
No sir, gibbons
@@TylersReelFishing gotcha
i'm certain i'm fishing these wrong - all ears i'm listening
Hope you learned something! I have an even better updated version of my swim jig video: czcams.com/video/JQsH2doZbu8/video.html
@@TylersReelFishing caught my first catch with a swim jig last night yay
I actually casted it into the pads and let it drop to the bottom and moved it through that mess slowly when a 1.5lber nabbed it
Same technique as using a rig.....reel pause reel etc
Very true!
So this young boy starts off with an insult, not watching the rest of it.
Oh come on, that was not an insult😂 That was the hook to get you to watch. I’m sorry you took it that way, not my intention
Caught 23.25 on the Chick last Saturday on the swim jig.
$ fish. 7.5, 7.25, 4.5, and 4.0.
Nice!!
Proper hook set on a swim jig isn't much of one at all. Think of a spinnerbait or crankbait - with the proper gear, the rod should load naturally - doing it for you. Plus, you're not old enough to know this yet (not a shot at ya)...but confidence and personal style speaks to if a person is "doing it wrong" or not. The more people you fish with, the more you'll learn...and some stuff will surprise you.
What i’ve learned in my “youth”, is that different ways of fishing can work for different people. I am speaking on what works well for me with the gear that I’m using.
I made this video quite a bit ago, and my recent content is not only better in quality, but better in instruction. I encourage you to check it out
@@TylersReelFishing exactly, that's all I was saying. I just wanted to caution you about the use of sentences like "why you're doing it wrong"... I can see that you're talented. I didn't want others to see things like that and keep passing by, therefore missing out on a good video. 👍
Phrases like that are always used to lure people into watching the content. I didn’t really mean that everybody else is doing it wrong, but hearing that gets people up in arms on a number of fronts, and gets them to watch the video. I’ve been doing this CZcams game for a long time haha, I know the tricks
@@TylersReelFishing Yeah, I figured that was the reason...it's just a personal pet peeve for me, lol. I'm old school. It's the "gotcha" titles bit...I steer clear of most of them. Titles may draw people in once or twice, but it doesn't keep them. I've been around longer than CZcams...lurking and watching it grow. I think people should have to take an IQ test before being allowed to purchase a Gopro. Lol (not meaning you)
I understand the way you feel towards gotcha titles, but I hope you can see mine a bit different. My titles in no way Clickbait people into watching content that does not reflect the title. I just know how to use the correct words in the correct way to get people to engage with the content. And I have a proven track record that the way I do things works. This is my full-time job and it would not be if I was doing something wrong
If you go to Colorado you should learn to fly fish instead of spin fishing
I’ve made a fly fishing series here on the channel! Called “on the fly”
fist veiw and comment love your vids
Appreciate it pal!
@@TylersReelFishing thank you you have taught me a lot of fishing tips with your vids
Once you stop reeling and pause aren't you essentially just jigging and not swim-jigging? Seemed like swim-jigging was not what caught those fish.
No, because I had to swim it back to the boat eventually, even if slower than a normal retrieve. This was called a stop-and-go retrieve, which I did very slowly. Still a swim jig
Chatter bait is better by a longshot imo
For certain situations. Really shallow grass, no
How the hell do y'all know we're doing it wrong? We throw stuff in water, we catch fish.
I'll save you ppl 9 minutes of your life. There is no real secret and nobody is doing anything wrong.
Thank you John
Just as others have mentioned, it does need a dab of oil before you use it czcams.com/users/postUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e - put a few drops in through the convenient screw cap and you are good to go! I have fished several weeks with a couple of these, and I will be getting more in the future. I put these against my Abu Garcia Pro Max reel, and they actually perform a bit better than the Abu with some of my lighter cranks, and definitely just as good with the rest of my lures. My Abu is a bit more low profile and fits my hand better, but these are definitely not bad at all. You can almost get 3 of these for the price of my Pro Max. My only complaint is the thumb bar sits pretty high compared to my traditional profile Abu. Bring that thumb bar down a little and I’m sold on these all day long.
