    Favorite swim jig experiences.
    First swim jig fish ever – Pool 11 (LW white-chart)
    I cast up to shore and about halfway back a three pounder comes storming and just crushes the jig so hard I about lost my rod. When I got him in the boat I couldn’t believe he was only 3.

    Coming back from getting my head handed to me, by my dad. My dad got introduced to a super secret color from Mr. Ritter and is just handing me my head. He was up like 5-0 when he cut off his jig and tied on a new one . I don’t even think it hit the deck and I tied it on . I made the come back and still here how certain people will never share again.

    Toxic Waste – D-Nort and I were fishing the wolf and catching a couple shorts and then I decided to throw one of my off the wall colors. Toxic waste (Purple, and Yellow rubber skirt with a Jap red grub) Well 5 cast later I caught a 3 ½ and 2- 2 ½ pounders. I caught a bunch more and got to here Dave grumble all day long . Then we headed to the 41 bridge where I stuck a 3 ½ pound smallie on the same rig . It was also the same day I finally broke down and stared using braid because my first 3 fish came off that day. Line stretch sucks some times!

    Last year my dad takes me to all his spots on the Wolf and watches me load up about a 16 pound limit from the back of boat on dirty gringo (Dirty white rubber and a pink glitter grub). The best was end of day spot where I caught 2 – 4 pounders.

    My favorite of all was last year when I started using the bigger grubs – about 3 feet in front of the boat a 3 ½ comes out of reeds and just crushes my dirty gringo swim jig with a glow super mag grub and just tried to whip my but, but I got him in after the fire drill and weighed in big bass for the Tournament (club tourney pool 8).
    That is why I am a swim jig addict!

    How I got introduced to swim jigs when Jim Johnson showed up at a Mr. Bass Tourney about 6 or 7 years ago with a box full of them for sale and after seeing what the BFL guys were doing with them I know my dad and dropped a couple hundred bucks in the parking lot of Big Green that night!

    Using the same 1/4 oz Gil colored swim jig I received from you at the tackle show in Lacrosse to catch SMB,LMB and Northern Pike from the Chippewa river to Sabaskong bay LOTW Canada! Must of landed at least 50 bass to 5lbs. and pike to 7lbs. The kicker is the jig is still in good condition save a few trailer changes!
    Thanks Brovarney for the work of art you put into your products.

    Funny, that was the first time I was introduced to them too. Dropped a few dollars myself that day…problem was I bought the 3/8 oz size and didn’t have much success with those…it took until a year later that I realized the 1/4 oz was the ticket. Although not my “bread and butter” lure I always have one tied on to this day.
