Jacob wheeler's knowledge of the history of these baits (and others) is really incredible. This guy knows the bait names, ownership, manufacturers, etc. This was definitely one of the most helpful "Rate the Bait" episodes yet for me. Keep up the great videos ya'll! P.S. Keep those creek series episodes coming my guys!
Being a weekend guy I can really appreciate this stuff. Definitely points me in the direction of things I want to try. I always enjoy hearing you guys chop it up and it makes it cool to hear someone at that stage just talking fishing like the rest of us.
Thanks for showing us the tungsten jigheads. Was wondering about them when Keitech came out out with their micro tungsten jighead. I carry it in my tb but don't currently have a situation to use it because of the heavy algae growth.
Me too I just started throwing queen tackle swim jigs and they are excellent. They are a smaller profile head with good hook, weedguard, and hand tied skirts solid jig.
Funny thing is I picked up a couple tungsten swim jigs on Amazon made by Reaction Tackle... I came across them when I was looking for something else and saw you get 2 for $11 and they have hand tied skirts so I bought a few. I was honestly shocked so I bought a bunch more of their stuff and been throwing them a bunch but I gotta go with DC I'm a huge fan of Dirty Jigs... being down here in the south I use braid when throwing a swim jig almost exclusively.
Dave’s Tourney tackle swimjig was the OG here on the Potomac! Also, Jewel makes a swimjig with a unique head design and keeper lock that I have enjoyed throwing in thicker cover, too. But day in day out, it’s hard to beat dirty jigs for variety of sizes/styles and colors. Extra tip for hand tying ones with a collar is to go to Lowes/HD and get some wire for hanging pictures (comes in a orange package with built in cutter…sorry don’t remember brand). Take a 5-6” section and wrap it 2-3x and then needle nose plier to draw in tight and twist (but don’t over twist or it breaks)! Takes less than a minute. You can thank me later 👍
Mannnn I was throwing a Mike Ike compact swim jig today and was the only one catching fish. Had a gill flash swimbait for the trailer and I was loving it. Caught like 10 fish and broke off on one forgot to retie. I grabbed my grass hero and got two bites but the lost them both. I’m going to get another Mike ike swim jig tomorrow lol
Swim jigs are my go to technique when I really need a bite. For the versatility of it. I can slow roll it deep skip around docks over grass. It comes thru everything. When I need a bite that's what I'm going for. And I make my own and buy mass produced as well.
This is a great topic because everybody has there got to swim jig and I’m a little disappointed I didn’t see my Beast Coast Gorilla swim jigs in the top 5 my gosh you must haven’t thrown them you should try them, color selection is off the chain man get at the Gorilla👍🏾👍🏾Big dog
I would love to see y'all serch out try some of these smaller companies. I guarantee you brazalo custom jigs is every bit as good or better than any of those.
I don't mind that No-Jack hook for flouro. I've got a couple 20lb bags of spotted bass throwing it on 20 flouro. The skirt is trash though, wears out quick.
D,C, man your crazy! I really wish you wouldn't have started singing that damn song! I ain't never heard of it before but after watching this episode of Rate the bait I had to look it up. That song sucks bro! You keep me l.m.a.o tho! I need that sometimes so thanks.
The 5/16 Dirty Jigs flipping them up on some Lilly pads and drag it real easy till it easily falls in a hole will get your line tested have caught some studs on Lake Fork like that
Mam I'll tell ya you guys have awesome personalities it's a pleasure listening to you guys thanks for the great video. God bless you and your families your pal fisherman Mike from Missouri. Ps I get a kick out of Dustin conel I think he is a pissa.
Ive got 5 of my most recent PBS pn a swim jig. Theres some maggic to it. You can make each and every swim jig your own. Sooooooooooo much versatility and variety. EDIT. my top 6 are all double digits!
I know I done commented about eighty seven times but I can't believe y'all didn't put beastcoast swim jig in this.. I'm for real scratching my head on that!! They got one of the best swim jigs on the market. I will literally put it against the evergreen and the dirty Jig.. I can't believe y'all did not put beastcoast swim jig
We just recently designed a swim jig. It is something that we use year round in Louisiana and Texas. Swim jigs seem very basic but we put a lot of thought into our head design and colors. After using just about every swim jig on the market we think we have designed the best swim jig we've ever used. We would love to get it into ya'll hands and get some feedback if you'd be interested.
Funny thing. You guys called the hook on the Dirty Jigs No Jack swim jig a “tuna hook.” Tuna fisherman actually use tiny hooks compared to bass fisherman! My old roommate was a tuna fisherman and he always commented on how bass fisherman use giant hooks for relatively smaller fish compared to the hooks tuna fisherman use for them bigguns!
LMFAO😂😂😂.. MDJ said J-DUB CAN CALL THE PRESIDENT....OF FISHING!! NOT THE UNITED STATES... "PAUSE"😂😂😂😂... Bra I know why u said PAUSE and that why it's so damn funny to me😂.... LMFAO 😂😆
As far as tungsten swim jigs go, I’d like to see somebody make a “finesse” size jig with a 1 ounce tungsten head. I fish lakes where they get DEEP and the water is clear, so I need compact and heavy. I’d like to be able to swim it 30-60 feet deep.Unfortunately heavy and finesse can’t seem to go together in the fishing industry. Can’t hardly find 1/4 ounce jig heads with a good 2/0 hook in em for a 2.8 keitech, much less anything heavier. Why is it that the heavier the head the bigger the hook they put. Does fishing deeper somehow mean my bait needs to be bigger?😂
One of my favorite series, love rate the bait. DC is hilarious man.

Bra livin with DC when tournament fishing got to be hilarious
Best rate the bait series out there, entertainment plus info. Thnx MDJ.

One swim jig Boys..
Strike King Hack Attack Heavy Cover Swim Jig..
This is the first time I’ve watched this series. I absolutely love it.
jacob really hit us with the eifel 65 reference and DC sealed it hahahaha
Love this series and when the whole ding squad is together, keep all your you tube shows going
Im gonna have to go pick me up a few of those queen swim jigs now. Just for me too that double metal keeper is the juice im with you on that one mark.
Queens, are good
Im all in with the metal keeper
Thanks for showing us the tungsten jigheads. Was wondering about them when Keitech came out out with their micro tungsten jighead. I carry it in my tb but don't currently have a situation to use it because of the heavy algae growth.
you guys are the best! Great Rate the bait!!
Great fun, great information. Who could want more? Thanks, keep rate the bait going.
DC swinging that jig rod like a baseball bat home runs every time 😮😊
Love the Queen Tungsten jigs!
Me too I just started throwing queen tackle swim jigs and they are excellent. They are a smaller profile head with good hook, weedguard, and hand tied skirts solid jig.
Dirty jigs and the six sense swim jigs are some of the best I’ve used.

I thought I had the secret with the queen tackle jigs. Love their jigs, now you all let the cat outa the bag.
The Picasso straight shooter with the wire guards is the best swim jig I’ve found to date.
1:20 i just wanna know what DC is thinking right there . Just pause it right there and tell me what that face is about 😂😂😂😂
Broo 😂😂 had to see for myself that shit is funny 😂😂
DC is funny!Keeping it reel haha
Best promo they never asked for because I’m buying some 😂😂😂😂😅😅😅
Love this series.
Im a fan of the 6th sense and megabass swim jigs. I also love the kietech casting jigs. But i only throw smaller jigs like 1/4 or 3/16
Yes
Come on mark 7 on a dirty jigs?? The best swim jig ever made period. They also have so many options Cali swim jig, no jack, finesse,

3/4 oz and 1 oz tungsten swim jigs would be excellent for burning in the winter time and slow rolling deep when they're hunting shad off shore.
Dc a fool on that blue swim jig song I literally died
Nah dc had me rollin 😂

Oh there they are as I typing this B loads him up😅😅😅😅👍🏾
I would love to see y'all serch out try some of these smaller companies. I guarantee you brazalo custom jigs is every bit as good or better than any of those.
I don't mind that No-Jack hook for flouro. I've got a couple 20lb bags of spotted bass throwing it on 20 flouro. The skirt is trash though, wears out quick.
Agreed. I hook em with fluro often using the no jack
Great series MDJ
The dirty jig is so fire for the price point , an dc hit every point . The hook does look big but they eat it an they stay pinned ! 🔥🙌
Sad the tournament season is over, because that means no more rate the bait😂😂😂. Yall are hilarious.
I have found that the D&L swim jig is real picky on the trailer placement and swimming straight up and down. And wish it had eyes.
Untamed Tackle apex swim jig is my go to. Swim jig and spinner bait are my two favorite moving bait probably. Super 4x4 and versatile
That’s the jig Kyle welcher help make
@@PHATBASSASSASSIN correct.
D,C, man your crazy! I really wish you wouldn't have started singing that damn song! I ain't never heard of it before but after watching this episode of Rate the bait I had to look it up. That song sucks bro! You keep me l.m.a.o tho! I need that sometimes so thanks.
i fish the weekend, not tournaments. my old skool arkie $1.50 standard jig and 5 minutes with a file works wonders. both on my wallet and bass.
DC is my boy! That spit says it all.
15:29 tmi bruh 😂😂😂😂
You guys are the best
Reaction Tackle Makes a Tungsten Swim Jig too. Very good quality. Think sneaking through all that grass.
Queens tackle chatter bait boys..😮tungsten...🔥🙌🏾
Tungsten is not always best for a swim jig Boss.
He said chatterbait faget
Workman's, freedom tackle, an dirty jig is the top 3 I fish with love the freedom tackle
Not the Yeet 😂

Eco pro sick boy swim jig is legit… similar to dirty jig smaller profile

6th Sense keeper is unmatched, rock the same swimbait for ever lol just realized this is 6 months old 😂
Mark was the only sane person about

Mobster from booyah and the missile baits mini are my go to’s
Googan Baits Jigs with Bandito Bugs are the best
Junk
Living in the north east my state is lead free so Tungsten or tin jigs is all I can fish.
