Stingy summertime bass got you wishing you “weren’t” fishing? While most anglers think slowing down is best during a tough bite, Gerald Swindle (https://wired2.fish/SwindleYouTubeChannel) puts on display that the exact opposite can sometimes be even more effective. Sit back and watch as “GMAN” explains why snapping a skirted bass jig in deep grass can oftentimes be the ticket to beating the heat.

The “middle of the road”, as Swindle calls it, is a place that often gets overlooked come summertime. “Most anglers either go punch mats or get out on the ledges.” What several people forget is that there is a whole lot of water between the two for fish to sit in. Swindle begins breaking down this area by using his side imaging to look for irregularities in the grassline and of course, fish.
Once successfully located, Swindle ops for a skirted bass jig which he casts into the grass, and snaps back to the boat. Erratically snapping the jig creates a reaction strike out of the fish. Swindle chooses a more streamlined head design to come through the grass better, as well as a shorter-shanked hook for better penetration. Swindle’s ideal setup for this technique is a 7’3” medium-heavy rod paired with a faster gear ratio reel (7.5:1) to catch up to fish if you get caught out of position, which Swindle claims happens more times often than not.

I watched another Gerald video and my father took me bass fishing when i was a baby. and i've been doing it ever since. I fished for bass now for over 40 years and never liked or had confidence in a jig. I looked at them as ways to get hung up baits. After watching Gerald descibe a jig last winter I busted out all the jigs I had laying around and began fishing it at least once a trip. At first I sucked.. couldn't get a bite. Then one day in the following summer it happened. It just clicked. I was fishing it wrong. That day I caught a two lber on my second pitch with a jig. then five casts later a three lber. I have gone jig niuts now and will always have pone tied onm. I love Gerald. He's a great guy or one hell of a actor. Either way I can't thjank him enogh.
