Description: Wired2fish’s McKeon Roberts is a diehard swim jig angler, especially in the spring when prespawn bass move shallow. He explains how to fish swim jigs around cover and in open water from his kayak; boat control is essential here. Roberts explains why he fishes into the wind and how to maintain optimal kayak position through continuous drive mode and the Spot-Lock function on his Minn Kota trolling motor. TACKLE USED: • KAYAK - Old Town Sportsman AutoPilot 136: wired2.fish/38p2Khy • JIG - Terminator Heavy Duty Swim Jig, 3/8-ounce: wired2.fish/3OnRqs7 • TRAILERS - Strike King Rage Menace: wired2.fish/3KTqaQe • Z-Man Baby Goat: wired2.fish/3JSW7a1 • ROD - 13 Fishing Omen Black 3 Casting Rod, 7'4" heavy: wired2.fish/3gVOm78 • REEL - 13 Fishing Concept Z Slide, 8.3:1: wired2.fish/3OzE9x5 • LINE - Sufix 131 Braid, 40-pound: wired2.fish/3uVR1FT • SUNGLASSES - Costa Del Mar Reefton: wired2.fish/37nKMln While many moving baits work well during this period, a swim jig is an ideal search and bluegill-imitating lure. In this video, Roberts uses it to contact bass spread out across expansive flats, work it through shoreline wood, and target bass in isolated grass. He stresses imparting action to the bait by poping the rod, which is improved with a longer rod, and a high-speed reel spooled with straight braid. ► SUBSCRIBE for more AWESOME FISHING TIPS: wired2.fish/YTSub ► SHOP WIRED2FISH GEAR HERE: wired2fishgear.com FOLLOW US HERE AS WELL: ► wired2fish.com ► instagram.com/wired2fish_official ► facebook.com/wired2fish ► twitter.com/wired2fish
