- 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

Loving the dirt, keep them coming!
What a great video! Thanks for posting this 👍🎣
Awesome video great tips thanks for sharing
Very good on swim jigs. Thanks for the advice and help.
Thanks I've struggled with swim jigs. This is the kind of video I like. Information without getting hammered with sponsor plugs. Good job Mark!
Hey Z, Loved this episode on our favorite bait the swim Jig!!!
Keep em coming bro. BBF (Big Bass Forever)
Thank you so much for that kind of help !!!!!!
Awesome video can't beat a swim jig
thank you for the warm/cold water tip. just recently got into jigs and this makes a lot of sense as to why when i tried them in the past i didn’t do well. now i have actually been producing fish.
Love these dirt videos!!! Best fishing show on TV period!!! Thanks Z
Wow, thanks!
Mark Zona is the only person I trust to tell me about fishing techniques more then our patron saint of bass, KVD.
Thank you!

Love a damn good swim jig bite! Nice trailer tips, love the parallel rage grub... paddle tail swimbaits on the back of a sim jig are good too
Love the dirt! Great tips to practice with.
Thanks 👍
Keep the video’s going 👍🏽
Great video Z
I just caught a nice probably close to 3 lber on a black b blue swim jig with a green pumpkin blue adrenaline craw.
Water was colder than 50 ° and it worked !!!
Then this video pops up after lol. Good info 👍
Puttin the hurt down on em with that Swim Jig Z! 💪🏻
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.
Thank you mark. I dont have a whole lot of confidence in a jig. Maybe this will help.
Great video Z! I like the idea about turning the trailer sideways to look more like a bluegill!
Just subscribed to the Zona zone..... he'll yeah! Time to find the tube stroking vids.....oh
Great video!!! I have never fished swim jigs but will be learning this bait/technique in the coming weeks....
Good luck!
Love the video I just recently started throwing a swim jig this year and I have fell in love with it. It's one of my favorite lures. Live the video and your shop is nice to.
Thanks!
Looks like the z man does some deer hunting from the mounts in the bass barn! 👍
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.
@Robert Francola- I've fished those lakes extensively- had a Red Man event on Mojave cancelled for wind. If you've never been down to Martinez, you need to check it out.
Keep the Dirt Coming Mark! Awesome info
Will do!
He learned a lot from a lot of different pros 👍
And I am a subscriber too.
Yes 100 degree water is a thing we have a lake near me that goes over 100 degrees every summer and yes swim jigs work year round in it.
I always have my bluegill and shad colored swimjigs with me year round those 2 poles 2 soft plastic topwater/jerkbait and I'm good to go top to bottom clear or stained I'm good.....obviously I throw other stuff but those are my confidence baits especially the bluegill swimjig vertical rigged trailer
Nice Video
Thanks
U the man zzzzzzzzzztrain !!!!
Lov'in The Dirt Z ~ MI Brown Bass Mutants choke a properly presented Swim jig. Keep'em coming !
Thanks!
I know what technique I’m gonna be fishing this week that looks like so much fun these are some of the best videos out there awesome Z keep them common man so in the cold do you hug the bottom more in the warmer it is the higher in the water table you are I hope that makes sense
Generally the best principle to live by is colder slower - warmer faster
I was hooked on a swim jig for a few years, then once I got to Flippin, pitching and punching I got sway from it but last season I started throwing it again and soon realized I was leaving ALOT OF FISH BEHIND! That will not ever happen again. Lol
I drew Dee Thomas during the U.S. Bass Open in '98. We fished the Colorado River arm of Lake Meade. The surface temperature where we were that day was over 100 degrees. So, yes, it is possible.
Zona, you need to run for Governor. Your state is run by a looney tune. Sportsman in michigan need you man!!!
Good stuff z
Appreciate it
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
New sub, thanks for the 411.
Thanks for the sub and watching!
This dude is the niel degrass Tyson of bass
Hey Z that's some good dirt about the swim jig. Thanks brother. The Hack Attack will definitely be seeing a lot more action now.
Z-Man, great video! Please, let’s do a show together! Let’s go champ!!!!!!!
I am a swim jig junkie thanks to my man and favorite in the business the Z train!
Thanks bud!
@@MarkZonaFishing I live in Buffalo the weather has been God awful I am jonesing to get out there for some may slaunch!!
I’m in south Florida and I tear them up on a swim jig in the winter but here in the summer they don’t touch moving baits. It’s way too hot. Most ponds don’t have shade lines either.
What's the best retrieve?
Pescaria top moro no Brazil não falo inglês e nem escrevo.
"That's a Skank tooth" 🤣
Great stuff. Curious though about rod action and jig weight in cold vs warmer water.
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.
Hey Mark, Love your videos. Was wondering what size Menace Grub you use for the 3/8 oz swim jigs, 3" or 3.5"?
Like 35 friend🤝👍
Z just watched your show with Terry Scroggins in Florida. Do you remember what lake you were fishing?
What episode is that catch at. 4:20 into the vid? Ive been trying to find that episode for years now. Please help me out
DIRT!
Keep them conning to the boat. We need the Dirty.
What are your staple swimjig colors Zona?? When do you throw what??
THANKS Z, I'm getting ready for a tournament in August at lake Oconee here in Georgia, I fish the FLW BFL Phoenix Bass Fishing League in the Bulldog Division and I will be using a swimjig, either white, ir bluegill, which would you use
Blue gill or golden shiner. Remember this match the hatch . you will catch a lot of fish if you match the hatch.
@@jeremycarpenter5550 Got it THANKS
I toss a grubb alot. Even the swim jig. But dont toss the vib jig as much as i should. I can use a ned head for almost anything but cranking.
How bout for smallies?
the bass are moving up and some are on beds now at my lake. Would you use a swim jig to fan cast around spawning shallows? Also can i use the swim jig like a regular jig and hop it on bottom through grass?
YES and YES!
I need the dirt!!!
Loved the info on swim jigs... cold water less action, warmer water more action. What kind of a knot was that you were tying on that swim jig?
I call it a shark knot. We will be doing a video on it soon.
Triple hondo
Show me the dirt! Post Spawn jigging around the bream beds !
Got me pinned Zona! New sub brother, thanks fo the dirt!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Hey Mark, what NRX rod are you throwing the swim jig with? Thanks
fishing4tanks a Daiwa!
Can you PLEASE make a video showing that knot you used to tie that swim jig on
Sure!
I think this is it.... czcams.com/video/-E6s8Lh7zc4/video.html
Will that swim jig work at lake menderchuck?
Always!
How do you decide when to use a spinning reel and when to use a baitcaster?
I’ve answered this twice for you in other posts...
Mark Zona sorry about that, lol
Try a solid frog or 'toad' on behind, or a boot-tail or 'kicker' swimbait tail.
when or do you ever use a swimbait trailer?
I do use a swimbait trailer shallow at times but to me it's at it's most power fishing deeper - like 5-15 feet of water
Awesome dirt. What about colors on swim jig and why those colors when?
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.
Mark Zona thank you so much I am going to Wiess lake next weekend and know a swim jig will play along with the Shad spawn.
@@MarkZonaFishing can you talk about the retieves
Do you ever throw a paddle tail trailer?
Yes
What rod reel and line do you use for swim jigs???

@@juststatinfactssv4989 thanks
I have put my setup in the description.
@@MarkZonaFishing thanks man your the best
What gear ratio?
I noticed you dont used a swimbait trailer why is that ?
I do but not in extremely shallow water - I tend to use swim bait style trailers when I fish a little deeper. Don’t get me wrong, they work in most situations shallow or deep.
Z-Train!! Get Jake Fromm on there since he’s headed to Buffalo!
iTz ATL Clutch ditto!!! That would be awesome! He loves to fish and a super guy to have as a guest. Go Dawgs!!!!!
Working on it!
I wanna see some dirt!
No love for the rage swimmer as a trailer??
Actually I like a rage swimmer very very much
Hey Zona, love your show as well as love your channel here keep em' coming!!! I do have a question for you what was the knot that you tied on your swim jig in the video clip and can you possibly through it in a link or maybe one the chances you get in a how to with some DIRT thrown in?
We will be doing a video on it soon - I call it a shark knot
Hey Thanks Zona, I can't wait to see it and be able to use it! Is it as strong as it is looks?
Fish till it hurts. Then rub some Show Dirt on it and keep on fishing!
