3.3" Phat Swimmer

The ideal rigging option for maximum casting distance and maximum action is on a ball head jig or swimbait jighead. Use a 7' medium action spinning rod, w/braid to floro leader, a 1/4 oz or heavier jig head. Cast it out, let the bait fall on semi slack line until it hits the bottom, than give the rod a quick twitch upwards, and begin a slow steady retrieve. Add in occasional rod twitches during the retrieve.

When drop swimming, cast and allow the bait to hit the bottom. Begin a slow steady retrieve with occasional rod twitches, this allows the bait to dance as the rod is twitched and when the weight clicks on rocks or brush below, the bait will erratically pop and move, triggering the reaction strike. Another option on this rig is the lift and fall technique. Instead of swimming the bait back, rip your rod tip up high and let it fall on slack line, the bite will usually come as the bait drops.

Use a 7' medium action spinning rod paired up on a 2500 series spinning reel, or a 7' medium heavy fast tip bait casting rod with a 7:1:1 gear ratio bait casting reel. For the line use 12lb braid to a 6 or 8 pound fluorocarbon leader.
