Big Bite Baits Swimon

Any of you guys have experience with these? What do you think of them? How's the durability? I know the zako is good but they are too rich for my blood and I would use a razor shad or diezel minnow but I have a lot of siebert fogys to use and find them hard to rig unless the bait has a wire keeper and the fogy just had the molded lead keeper

It's a killer trailer on a bladed jig and amazingly durable. I didn't think they'd last long with how thin they are towards the tail but I've had them last more than 10 fish almost without exception.

DitchPanda : Nice Find !! … I recently discovered the sister bait to the Swimon - the Big Bite Baits Kamakazi Craw which has a similar construction . Like the Kamakazi Swimon , the Pearl and Green Pumpkin colors would cover the majority of needs . *The Green Pumpkin color in the Kamakazi Craw may be the best Green Pumpkin color I have ever seen (next to my Zoom favorites) . The Pearl White is a great Pearl color too (not too bright or white) … I'll have to figure out how to buy the Swimon and get it shipped to me (without the wife knowing) now that I'm working from home !

I would not hesitate to buy the Swimon - the only thing close to it is the SK Perfect Plastics Blade Minnow (at almost twice the price) . Green Pumpkin or Green Pumpkin / Chartreuse Swirl , Pearl , Hematoma and Flamethrower (Spring) would be my choices to cover my Bluegill and Shad color vibrating jigs .

I'm biased bc I work for Big Bite, but the Swimon has worked great for me. Regarding durability, I've had the same experience as Blue, lots of fish on a bait before having to replace it. One time a bluegill or something bit half of one of the tails off, but I kept fishing it anyways and it still caught fish!

Any favorite Swimon colors for your chatterbaits ? Pearl is a given , then Green Pumpkin . Hematoma and maybe the Chartreuse / Green Pumpkin Swirl … The Red Flame Thrower looks killer for that limited Spring window we are in now !

I personally don't throw many white bladed jigs so I'm going basic with black blue flake and green pumpkin..figure if I want chartreuse I'll just dip it in JJs magic
