Swim Baits

Featured Replies

I have 2 swim baits the orange mullet and the firetiger an was going to buy the bluegill does anyone catch more bass ok the blue gill?

What type of swimbaits are you refering to? Color is a very small variable in the bass chess game, but firetiger is generally for deeper water or when the water clarity is dirty-stained. Bluegill, or natural patterns, are good to throw in clearer water to try and trick the bass into thinking the bait is a part of the natural forage.

BTW, is that not you in your avatar? Your PB says 5-6 lbs and that is just a tad bigger

If you like swimbaits, try the Strike King Shadalicous in the Sexy Shad color. It's a hollow body style swimbait so you will end up needing the proper hooks like a Gamakatsu swimbait hook, skin hook the tip when you bring it out the back and you have a perfect weedless bait. They will work anywhere in the country with any forage, I guarantee it. Always try to get close to the natural forage of the water you're fishing.

I generally stick to natural colors with swimbaits since they are primarily a visual bait.

you cant go wrong with a natural shad color.

Just spend the 35 bucks and get a slammer or woodtail. So big and so font to throw....

Thanks guys!

I personally love using the Yum Money Minnow using bluegil or shad with weighed hook and making it weedless. Bass love money minnow but its pricey but its a awesome lure. Has awesome action!

cabelas is running a sale right now on there 6.5 inch money minnow for $2.99. I picked up a few packs. I prefer Strike King shadalicious or the money minnow. When i find them on sale i buy a bunch of packs. One time i found shadalicious packs on sale for $1.99. Needless to say i bought 13 packs.

x2! For a small paddletail, this one has a nice action! I have become fond of Hudd's 4" weedless shad also. Swims nice and fairly durable for a swimbait. Mend it will make them last a while.

Really? The first one I threw on the back of a swim jig didn't even get a bite before falling off....Not happy with the durability at all.

You used a Hudd 4" shad as a swim jig trailer?? I have landed at least 6 bass on mine and havent had to use mend-it yet so yea I think they are pretty durable.
