I"ll keep that in mind

just went out of Russo's (on the delta) yesterday, the weather turned out to be perfect. threw a7 in huddleston shad swimbait for about 4 hours bouncing it on the bottom... landed one 5lb on a 3ft flat to a 10 ft drop off on a tule point, that was the only action I had on the swimbait (about 1030 am) ... the rest of day we caught many just flipping the tules, but the advice helped tremendously for getting that swimbait fish out of the delta! haha thanks. p.s I have heard of people throwing rat baits and getting 6 to 8lb doing it, but i have never tried it, maybe I should lol

I give that a shot... thanks for the advice

Im just not getting that many strikes... I'll get four to five in a day and hook up maybe two. and the hollow body hooks up more often, I use smaller swimbaits to get the smaller bite (5 to 6 inches) and I never had luck with anything bigger. I slow roll them, change direction (up/down), I even have tried burning them in quickly. The best thing so far is slow rolling it with the 1/2 oz weighted beast hook on a hollow 6in shadalicious. should I be fishing other areas besides drop-offs and shoreline/docks?

I usually use a 5 or 6 inch or an a-rig with three 4 in baits.

50 lb for sure, its light and strong enough for the mats...I use the samurai braid

I have been really trying to get my swimbait technique down and have come to the conclusion that I don't like hard plastic swimbaits but love the hollows and soft plastics....but im having trouble catching a consistent amount of fish on trips and only land 1 or 2 if im lucky each time. haven't caught one out of the ca delta yet and only have had good luck out on clearlake around docks and drop-offs. any tips for increasing the quantity of fish on the swimbait? I usually use a 5 or 6 inch or an a-rig with three 4 in baits.

went with the pfluger president works great caught tons of fish on it and affordable. thanks for the advice

Could you attach a pic as well, thanks

How much were you thinking?

i usually have a lot of luck punching in the mats out of stockton, if you want to make the run out to big break senkos and punching will bring those big ones. i personally love big break the most.

I am looking to add another spinning set up to my collection and I was wondering (to those who have used one or have one) what you thought of the Quantum Energy Pti-b (the E30) performance and drag capabilities. If you have any other recommendations that would be appreciated. I was even looking at the Shimano Saros F. Anyway i'm looking to stay under the $200 dollar range. thanks
