What H2O hard swimbait works better? The 3.5" shad style or the 3.5" panfish style? Any of their colors that you prefer? Thanks. 

I like the shad style, I get more bites and land more, plus I can fish it faster.. I don't like the panfish as much, it rolls on me a lot...but it is still ok.

+1 - very good bait for the $. 

I have thrown both of them, but only ever caught fish on the sunfish. That being said, I find you have to reel it in really slow or else the action doesn't look natural. These are the only swimbaits I have ever fished so I have nothing to compare them to, but I do like them and find them a great value. I would consider switching the hooks out. I have had issues with the hooks on most of the H2O baits. They are OK out of the box most times but I find they dull quickly and are prone to straightening out. Luckily, with the lures being so inexpensive and almost always on sale even cheaper, you can put on premium hooks and still not have much money into the lure. 

The smaller bluegill works way better then the small shad one, as in it swims much better.
