If my supply order would ever arrive I could get you a new batch of swim jigs. Too bad my order has been in usps purgatory for over a month now. It has been sitting in a truck in a parking lot in St. Louis since thanksgiving after having been all over the country before that. 🤦‍♂️

A swim jig with a paddle-tail type trailer on it has a real sexy side-to-side rocking motion, as well as the tail action. Has a very lifelike fall when it's sinking....especially on a tight line. It comes thru cover better, and can be pitched-flipped-skipped into places that you can't get a spinnerbait into.     

If the water is relatively clear a good swim jig will probably outfish a spinnerbait 10:1 no matter where you are in the world.   And I'd put it above chatterbaits in most instances....but that's just me.

That reel is almost old as you are. 🙂

I have 14 of them, and several are even older than that one.   I can overhaul one with my eyes closed.  Greatest baitcasting reels ever made IMO 

I can't stand the low profile reels that everyone else is a big fan of.

Greatest reel IMO were the old Shimano Curado reels.  Still rolling 10 of them and can disassemble, clean, lube and reassemble easily.

I've become a fan of Shimano Calcuttas. Of my collection of nice reels the Calcuttas get the most use. I do have large hands and don't mind a round reel.
