More Tips and Techniques
The Vibra Swim is not a bladed jig (or what is commonly referred to as a ChatterBait). While it has a blade, the important distinction is that it’s attached to the jig head and not free-swinging like a bladed jig. This calls for a retrieve that is similar to a swimbait, where dialing in the cadence is crucial. A slow and steady retrieve will be ideal in most situations.
This bait excels in shallow water, around docks, cover and over grass.
