Please tell me about them. How good are they? How should I fish them? My fingers don't work as good as i would like. Its hard for me to rig a swim bait. That's why I'm thinking about buying some these pre-rigged swim baits.

Half of them run on their side and the other half catch the occassional fish.  I haven't been impressed in the least by the prerigged baits and recently the Storm 360 GT.

I usually fish all brown bass locally so I do not use them here.

However, the 5 & 6 inch baits have been very good for me on big green bass south of the border.

Need to fish them low & slow - bait will not run true at speed.

They have an unusual 'action' - one that may or may not look 'natural',

but we HAMMER bog fish with these baits.

Finally Mend-It glue repairs most tears that occur so baits can be used many times over.

Good Luck

You used the smaller ones at all? I was going to use some 3” ones around reeds for green bass. Slow is the name of the game there so hopefully they run true. 

Spend a few more dollars on some pre-rigged Savage Gear soft baits and you'll be much better off.

I don't.

For whatever reason the Mexican bass like the larger size Storm swimbaits.

Storm are made using salt water plastisol that tends to be harder stiffer plastic that can take a bent set and swim poorly. Boiling the swimbait and hanging by the hook eye to cool can fix the bent set issue.

I use Huddleston's

Thank you, for all of your replies. A lot of great information. None of it I knew. From what you folks have said I will stay away from storm swimbaits. 

I found this in a clearance bin and bought it for show and tell lol

Good muskie bait, but eat your Wheaties if you're going to cast it much. I've got a couple that are pretty old now, they're a load.

The 3 and 4 inch baits are pretty good too, but not at slow speeds.

I’ve caught a ton of walleye over the years on the 4” wildeye swim shads slow rolled along the bottom of one of my local rivers. I haven’t really fished them much when I was targeting bass though.
