Welcome to BR!

Went out today and didn't even get a single bite on the swimbait. Caught a few on worms and a Rattle Trap. Took a friend of mine with me today who has never been bass fishing in his life. The only type of fishing he has done was with a cork. Steve ended up catching 5 bass. He must of thanked me a thousand times before he left. Great day overall!

I have my rod at about 4 o'clock and have been setting the hook the same direction at about 2 o'clock. I'm going fishing in the morning and will definitely try setting the hook straight up in the air to see if that helps. Will let you guys know sometime tomorrow how it went. Thank you all for the comments.

Im not 100% sure on the biting of the tails. Just started fishing them. Its good solid hits on the bait. 1/8 weight with Seaguar AbrazX Fluorocabon in a 12lb test. Fishing with a Revo STX and 7ft MH fast action rod.

Wow that's crazy. Glad you shared this. I haven't seen this.

Hello everyone. I've just started fishing soft swimbaits for the 1st time. I'm using a 1/8 weight hook in a 4/0 with a MH 7ft rod with a fast action. I had pretty good success on the 1st time using this set up. The last 4 trips out to the pond/lake, I have been having a hard time hooking the fish when it takes the bait. I've also tried skin hooking the swimbait as well. There are only a few things I can think of that might be the problem. Reaction time setting the hook is to slow, setting the hook to hard or using the wrong setup as in rod. Anyone having this problem? Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

Me either! I have now. Anyone have a pic with one of these hooks rigged up on a bait I could see?

Congrats. Beautiful fish ravens!

I thought about this last night after I got off. Be careful when you go out in these areas at Lake Marion if you aren't familiar with them. Monster gators all throughout the swamp in those areas.

Its good to be back. My life has changed a lot the past 2 years. I have a 2 year old son(Tucker) and a 10 month old daughter(Kady). So I haven't had the time to do anything. Its getting better as they are getting a little older. Had to stay away from the forums for awhile. I didn't wanna get the bass bug from reading all of this knowing I didn't have the time to go fishing. How have you been?

There are alot of places in between stumphole and low falls landing boats cant get. Lilly pads everywhere. Avg depth is 3-6 all of through the cypress trees. When you see it in person, your mouth will drop. Its just breath taking. Talked to my cousin today. They have been burning the bass up on spinnerbaits all around packs landing.

Very nice. I see you like that Baja Blast. Haha its amazing.

congrats

I have a few DT6's but no DT10's. Gotta pick up a few. I own a few KVD cranks. Never owned a Shad Rap but I'm starting to see alot of people use these. Gotta pick one up.

Ive never really fished a swimbait other than a zoom fluke texas rigged. Ive thought about these but ive never used a tube. I dont even know how to rig a tube bait. Will have to watch a video on it. Give me sum MO!

What are some of the best lures on the market you would recommend? Can be pretty much anything. Wanna add a few things to my tacklebox and I thought this would be a good way to do it. Curious to see what everyone says!
