Looking for thoughts/experiences.

 

Been playing around with a few different swimbaits on underspins and my impressions so far...

 

1. Keitech Swinging Impact. These have the best action and just seem to get bit more/harder than the others.

 

2. Yamamoto Swiming Senko.  A bit of a different profile but still great action.

 

3. Reaction Innovations Skinny Dipper. Nice tail kick combined with good body movement. Just not as fluid as Keitechs.

 

4.  X-Zone Swammer. Decent action but a bit stiffer plastic. Body movement doesn't seem as natural as the ones above.

 

5. YUM Money Minnow and Berkley Hollow Belly. Both have similar actions. Good tail kick but not much action going into the body.

 

As for underspins. I've been using some Fish Heads that I've had for years and I'm less than impressed. The blades break off fairly easy, the hooks are pretty feeble and the baits get torn up really easily since they don't have a bait keeper.

Keitechs are hard to beat. Of course their longevity comes into the mix, but you have to pay, to play sometimes.

I have been using the 6th Sense divine swimbaits 3.2 this spring matched up with a coolbaits underspin. That combo has done very well for me with the smallies so far.

…6th Sense divine swimbaits 3.2… 

I tried these recently and I can't decide if I like the action on them or not. It looks and feels tighter than the Rage Swimmers and Keitechs that I'm used to – like the rubber is stiffer or something.

 

I wonder if a) that's intentional or a byproduct of the plastic they use; and b) if that action gives them a different look that maybe the fish don't see much.

Megabass Dark Sleeper and Z-Man 3" Slim Swimz have caught me a lot of bass including some good ones in the 4-5 lb. class.
