Texas rigged I would think and just swim

TT does a swell review of the Dipper. I really like how the nose of the bait comes to a point, thus making
the bait come thru weeds better than most swimbaits. It's also salt impregnated which helps the bait two-
fold, aids in nice long casts and the extra weight enables it to be rigged weightless with a 4/0 or 5/0 hook.
My favorite color is Bad Shad, just a great product from RI.

T-rigged with a 5/0 is plenty in most places but when fishing a super weedy lake like Big O I add a Head Case to the front of it.

Thanks for all the info , i am going to try the skinny dipper . Not to change the subject but are the Reaction Innovation beavers just as good ?
Thanks

I throw a ton of Skinny dippers, best way I have found is rigging them on a 5/0 Owner Weighted Twistlock Light hook:

They work great for the skinny dippers.

Happy you mentioned that because I just picked up the same hook for fishing the SD.

I'll go out on a limb and will say, outside of Florda, the most popular way to rig a Dipper is on an A-Rig...

I use these for the SD but they also make a great swim jig trailer.

I just rig them weightless on a 5/0 EWG hook most of the time. I mostly use them for fishing heavy grass in shallow water or in lily pads. Pretty much anywhere you would fish something like a Ribbit. If the fish are short striking the Ribbit, I put on a Skinny Dipper and let it swim just under the surface in the open spots in the grass mat.

How do these compare to the Keitech Swing Impact? Similar action?

[tosakilla]

the little dipper is hard to beat as a swimjig trailer.

@bassninja, skinny dippers have more of a woddle and roll while swing impacts have more of a tight wiggle and shimmy. Hope i could help.
