However, if the swing hook allows for a better landing ratio: you are hedging the odds in your favor. I say give it a try with an open mind and decide for yourself.
Best of Luck !!!!!
Scooter, give a good fisherman either jig and he will produce. The "landing ratio" has been my arguement all along. You simply land more, lose less.
Good point on action. Most grub style baits are designed to give an action. The swivel allows the grub to swim naturally.
Better action=more fish. Did I mention bigger fish as well?
