Gambler Lures Southern Swim Jig Now Available

Gambler Lures introduces the new Southern Swim Jig. One thing we have noticed when fishing swim jigs is they just don't hold up to what fish can dish out or to the conditions of heavy grass or timber. The swim jig technique originated up north in open water around docks and areas without an abundance of heavy cover. When catching big southern bass in heavy cover the original swim jigs needed some improvement. Gambler Lures designed the ultimate heavy cover big fish swim jig. A 6/0 heavy wire hook is the basis of our design. This hook holds up to braid, big fish, and lots of cover. The head design keeps the jig running true and coming through grass without hanging up. The weedguard is the perfect thickness to deflect cover but still allow excellent hook penetration. Couple it with the Flappy Daddy, Twin Tail Craw Grub, or MegaDaddy and start swimming a jig to see what you have been missing.
