swim jig vs t-rigged

[IowaBasser]

Texas-rigged soft plastics are my confidence baits. Jigs are one of my weak points - yes, I have several. So I started thinking (I know, dangerous, right?) ...what are the real differences between a t-rigged plastic and a jig, specifically a swim jig?

If I texas-rigged a bullet sinker and a 4/0 EWG hook, then put a spare rubber skirt on the front with a grub trailer of some type wouldn't it be similar to a swim-jig?

The main diferences would be:
1. A sliding sinker
2. No plastic weed guard
3. An embedded (or tex-posed) hook

What would be the disadvantges?
1. It might be difficult to get the plastic skirt to stay in the right position
2. It may not sit on the bottom like some stand-up jigs (though I was talking about a swim-jig)

Advantages?
1. I would be fishing a more comfortable/confident technique for me
2. I already have the stuff to make a t-rigged swim jig - nothing new to buy and less stuff in the tackle box
3. I never liked the plastic weed guards on jigs (It always seems like everyone has a different opinion on whether you should leave them alone, fan them out, thin them out or shorten them.)
4. The shape would be symetrical, having less chance to roll onto it's side
5. It may be more weedless
