swimbait

What he said, I have several just haven't had time to throw them yet.

Yep!

Lose the rattles or make them an option. I don't use them very often.

Hey Clancy, Like Matt said, your average setup will work fine for paddle tail swimbaits. They can be fished any of the places you metioned and then some. In many ways you can just use it in place of a spinnerbait. They do work and get bit. The most important part is that they need to be rigged straight so that they swim straight. Good luck and be very careful. I would consider this a gate way drug to bigger things if you catch my drift. ;D

I just started using this for my fluke presentations with great success. Very cool bait. Black Dog Fake Fish.

+1 and you should retie often anyways...

That's great!!!

WTG, nice healthy one there!

I wish you new what you are talking about as far as this issue is concerned. I have had numerous Strike King Baits do this, still in the package having never been in the boat. They were sitting at home with all my other extra baits that have never had this problem, stored exactly the same. It is NOT a problem that happens with all their baits, just some. Strike King does stand behind and replaces all the baits this happens to so Kudos to them but this is a production or design flaw. To say otherwise is a little ignorant to the problem if it hasn't happened to you YET.

Nice catch!

Kids and fishing, that's what it's all about.

What a pointless argument, oh wait. All arguments are pointless. : :-?

:o

Looks like a great place to fish, congrats!

Congrats on such a fine day. You have to love it when it all comes together.

Great job on a new PB!

Congrats on your new PB and with a new bait presentation at that.

It was my first artificial and I was able to catch some awesome trout on them.

Interesting, let us know if it seems to work better.

Congratulations on your new PB.

WTG, nice fish. I like the chatterbait at night.

Looks like you had a great trip.

Wind blown banks are great places to fish. Early on it was believed it pushed the bait up and made it a killing field for the bass. Bait fish can swim and move around even in a current. Now the thought is it pushes the plankton and other small creatures up against the bank drawing in the bait giving feeding fish a place to dine. That said, it also oxygenates the water. I would always prefer to fish in a wind then in the calm.

I talked to Bobby late last week about his baits. Nice guy, I ordered some and I am looking forward to some of his other baits to come in.

I am fortunate enough to live in Texas and can fish year round.
