hi guys,

I'm really curious about getting into fishing swim baits, especially the 6 inch weedless hudds. i have lots of perch in the lakes around here and i think the perch color would be perfect. however there is something that tells me i wont catch fish on them.

do you think they are too big for fish averaging 2-4lbs? I just want to make sure i won't get skunked every time.

ps i fish mostly in the summer

thanks!!!

Couple things:

1. Attitude is everything. You're gonna need some confidence to throw swimbaits and KNOW they will get bit.

2. Why target fish 2-4lbs? You are fishing for ONE FISH and I'd be willing to bet that fish is bigger than 4lbs.

3. You're gonna get skunked, get used to it.

#3 is probably the hardest thing to push through. It's really, really easy to see someone catching fish on a shakeyhead and think to yourself, "Man, I gotta switch it up." I can tell you with 100% certainty, you WILL NOT catch swimbait fish if you are fishing anything but swimbaits.

6" swimbaits are a snack to a 4lb fish.

thank you i will just have to raise my confidence level!
