The “middle of the road”, as Swindle calls it, is a place that often gets overlooked come summertime. “Most anglers either go punch mats or get out on the ledges.” What several people forget is that there is a whole lot of water between the two for fish to sit in. Swindle begins breaking down this area by using his side imaging to look for irregularities in the grassline and of course, fish.
Once successfully located, Swindle ops for a skirted bass jig which he casts into the grass, and snaps back to the boat. Erratically snapping the jig creates a reaction strike out of the fish. Swindle chooses a more streamlined head design to come through the grass better, as well as a shorter-shanked hook for better penetration. Swindle’s ideal setup for this technique is a 7’3” medium-heavy rod paired with a faster gear ratio reel (7.5:1) to catch up to fish if you get caught out of position, which Swindle claims happens more times often than not.

Gerald is the reason I love jigs
-
I've learned so much watching him over the years. I wish there was a way to tell him how much his style has helped me grow as a fisherman.
-
sets the hook and there’s nothing .. “Excuse me, had a call coming in” 😂😂 G-man is a national treasure!
-
If I had 1 wish....be jus to set on the back deck and watch g get after it!! Good lord could take me home when we got back to the ramp I would have no regrets!! Solid solid video G-man!!! Keep it real and the wisdom coming enjoy every second of it!!
-
These are the videos that teach anglers how to reasonably fish offshore! Awesome content W2F. I.... guess you don't need me to tell yall that!
-
Last year during the Covid crush, I started fishing round ball jigs, " Brown & Green " cause the G-Man said to, and I have since given away ALL my other jigs, cause the round ball finesse jig " CATCHES " them all big , small , spotted, or brown , The G-Man is my new hero , I now catch more bass than I ever have and I been fishing for over 40 years, Thanks Gerald !!!!!
-
More Gerald Swindle please. Love this guy!!
-
I see a Gerald Swindle video- I instantly watch and like. Why he doesn't have his own show is beyond me. Funny as hell and catches a fish every now and then with his junk fishing super powers. GMAN= Awesome. Wired2Fish- if you posted more Gman vids, I'd pay you twice what I do now.
-
The GMAN is a Great Teacher. I Learned something Beneficial Today for August Bass Fishing. 👍👍👏👏
-
One of the best guy's in the business, so likable, and Always willing to teach it seems I'd love to fish with him
-
Good stuff, when G talks I listen. I’d like to see more collaboratives with Ike you guys are awesome together.
-
I came forth in a club tourney using this information. I am pretty I've watch this 3 times trying to remember all the info for future opportunities. Keep up the great videos and more g man.
-
This is one of my favorite times to fish, fins them in pads, matted grass, under docks and anywhere else where there is shade.
-
This wasn't just useful for jig fishing. Just the explanation of pulling baits through glass took away some of the mystery for me. This is quickly becoming my favorite informative fishing channel.
-
One of my top5 fishermen of all time you know you would have a good time fishing with Gman
-
Gman is one of those guys when he starts talking I shut up and listen. Solid advice every time
-
My brother loves this. He said he got a few fish with these. He love it so much he wouldn’t mind getting more for any holidays.
-
