Versatile Jig,
January 4, 2010
By MNbassguy
from Minneapolis, MN
"I've used this jig in many ways. They've all caught me fish. When I put on a single-tail grub as a trailer, I swim it through the strike zone much like a spinnerbait. When I opt for the double-tail grub or a craw type trailer, I slowly drag it on the bottom through weeds and over rocks. This works because this swim jig's skirt has more strands than a normal swim jig does. Allowing it to be fished like a regular jig, but even more weedless due to it's bullet shaped head. One of my favorite jigs."

good jig,

from north jersey
Advantages: Ease of use, Performs well, Quality, Style/Design, Value for money
"this is a quality product, great colors my favorite is the smokey shad. i have to agree with the guy on the first page that putting a soft swim bait on as a trailer works best. It gets the bait to wobble. Give it a try around grass and hold on!!!!!!"

Great Bait,
June 23, 2009
By FishermanScoob
from Detroit,MI
"I bought this lure in the sexy shad color and took it to my pond, i was trailing it with one of thes twin tailed grubs, didnt work, the i found a pack of 3.5" shadalicious swimbaits in the sexy shad color, i took off the grub, put on the swimbaits, and bam, first cast i got a 5 pounder, the swimbaits tail made the jig shake just a little bit, but enough to make the ratlles go back and forth, no stop and go required, but, i caught 20 bass ranging from 1# to 7#'s, i love this lure."

"I use this jig alot in grass cover, becase I can swim it and not hang up. I really like the bluegill, and the gree/pumkin. This jig also has a really nice trailer keeper clip so trailer never moves."

Awesome,
July 15, 2008
By Mull
from Warrior, Al
"Kevin really nailed it with this jig. I recently went to Guntersville flipping under some of the causeways up there and literally wacked em. If I could I would have ten of each color. His color sceams resemble real forage remarkably. Now if he can just design a left handed baitcaster for us folks that fish that way, that'd be great"

Rather good!,
July 7, 2008
By gadget
from Spain
"I have been using this jig for a few weeks now, in 3 different versions, from 1/4 to 1/2, all in black/white and black/red head color or in white/blue and white head color, to fish in a lake where pikes are really hard to find and catch.
Really good price.
Really useful. I use to mount as a trailer a Sandra 9 to 16 cms, so that given the actual conditions I can vary the way I fish it.
The rattles can be removed. It has a little metal piece allowing to keep the trailer in place.
Definetely recommandable."

awsome jig,
June 9, 2008
By Tantheman
from Altamonte Springs, FL
"I was fishing in a lake called Cranes Roost. I thought I'd never catch a big bass in it. But then I used KVD's swimming jig, I love it. I was using a bluegill colored one in cloudy water. Cought myself about a 4 pounder. The biggest fish I've cought in months. Definately a go to bait.
YOU'VE GOT TO TRY THIS JIG!!!!!"

Best Jig Ever,
August 2, 2007
By striker248
"One day i had no luck at this pond near by our house. We had been trying alot of things but they didn't work. We kept seeing these big bass jumping all over the place. So then i tried the kevin van dam jig for inactive bass and my first five cast a six pound largemouth bass was on. it striked it hard and fast."
