Strike King KVD Swim Jig Review

[meowx]

Over the weekend I picked up a couple of strike king kvd swim jigs - 1/2oz in black/blue & bluegill. I was thoroughly impressed at the number of hits I was getting on these, literally on the initial sink without any swim. I used some berkley double tails for trailers in matching colours and the presentation was superb. something like a fancy aquatic dragon fly with very jiggly legs.

As for the weed guard, I was dragging them through rocks and cover like no tomorrow. I had one bad snag on 8lb mono and lost my bluegill when it snapped, so I switched over to my 10lb vicious fluroucarbon (very strong & stretchy, have yet to experience a snap).

My only gripe is that one of the eyes came off after dragging over rocks. But I still can't complain given how much pressure I put on these.

By days end I had a few very nice largies thanks to these jigs. I rate them 9/10 but recommend getting the smaller bitsy strike kings as a backup - the hooks are massive and you might be losing decent sized fish because of it.
