the 4" is tiny. Go for the 6" IMO. You will gain more confidence in it when you see the bites it produces. Dont think its too big, 1lbers will eat it.

 

I agree. 

 A 6 inch bait is a great size to use when looking to gain swimbait confidence.

Check this out. The Huddleston 68 I was using here is a 6 inch bait with an oversized boot tail.

CP, do you use the 6"? If so, do you throw it on a MH?

I don't have one yet but I throw the 6" hudd which is in the same weight on e MH and it handles fine. Oh yeah, and get the floater.

I think Imma just go with one of the Spro 4" hard swimbaits, and see if I cant get the hang of it.

I'm fairly new to swimbaits also but the 4" Spro was one of my least favorite baits I've owned. It looks great and maybe I was doing something wrong but it just never caught fish, even when other swimbaits were working. The 6" Spro is a better bait but still far from my favorite. You'll be able to fish either on a MH rod without overloading it too much. If I were going to buy another I'd go with the floater instead of the slow sink I got.

 I agree the 6" Spro is a much better bait.

I been trying the money minnow and my most success came on November as the snow was falling as I practiced my fall dying minnow presentation. I also have the caustaic bad spelling sorry, the 9" trout which I try often while it swims great nothing big on it yet.My most success has been with the money minnow but I haven't tried the others yet.
