Not sure what you have in mind. There are the more realistic swimbait varieties, such as the Hudds, or the more generic paddletails, such as the SK Shadalicious. Quite a difference in price between the two. Not so sure there's a lot of difference in performance though. I've caught a lot of good bass, both LM & SM, on the SK version, which go on sale at Cabelas quite frequently.

Guess it all depends on how dedicated you want to be with swimbaits. No doubt the Hudds and the Mission Fish do well. But I've seen a lot of folks land some great bass on the less expensive paddletails as well. And these are quite weedless as well. This may not be what you are asking about, but it is what I'm referring to here:

I fish them a little different than most. I like to peg a bullet weight and simple texas rig the swimbait. This allows me to either do a straight retrieve or bottom bounce it in more inactive situations. Another great advantage of using a tungsten bullet weight is that you can feel EVERYTHING; I know exactly what type of cover and structure I am fishing which can help eliminate areas.
