I looking at trying to fish with swimbaits and wanted to know what you guys use and how do you work them. I saw that the matt lures have a talipa color and being in Florida there are a ton of talipa in the lakes I fish. I was thinking of getting one of these and trying them out. What other ones do you guys recommend?

I too am interested in swimbaits, but I'm in Michigan.  I'm still going to try them out this year, but not any of the HUGE ones .

Some of the baits I've been looking at are:

Mattlures Baby Bass: http://www.tackletour.com/reviewmattlures.html

Bettencourt Baits Rodent: http://www.tackletour.com/reviewbettencourtbaitsrodent.html

Bettencourt Baits Real Fish Bluegill: http://www.tackletour.com/reviewbettencourtbaitsrfbluegill.html

Bettencourt Baits Real Fish Shad: http://bettencourtbaits.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=38

This is what VanDam was fishing at Amistad: http://www.***.com/descpageSWMABT-ABTS.html

For pike/musky, I'm thinking about trying this: http://www.tackletour.com/reviewbettencourtbaitsassassin.html

I hope you can find something you'd like to try!  Remember that swimbaits are generally not numbers baits, so you might have to fish them for a while!

Good luck!
