Best Size Swimbaits For 1/4oz 5/0 Owner Flashy Swimmer...???

Featured Replies

What are the best sizes of swimbaits to fish on the 1/4oz 5/0 Owner Flashy Swimmer? I bought a couple to try out and now I need some swimbaits. Seems like a 5" swimbait is the money size but I am not sure. Would 4" be too small and therefore would the large hook size impede the swimbaits action? Is a 6" swimbait doable or is it too big and therefore getting in the way of the hook gap and impeding hooksets? Thinking about buying some 4" Megabass Spark Shads and 4.8 - 5.8 Keitech Swim Impact FATs just to see what sizes work best. 

I’ve used the 4.8 Keitech on mine, but I use the 3/0 3/16 FS with a 3.8 Keitech more often. I have seen a video where you can match hook and swimbait by holding bait head down to see where tail bends. Hook should emerge in front of tail bend so it won’t interfere with action of the tail.

Its a bit overwhelming for a 4" torpedo shaped bait like a 4" Spark Shad, but right on for just about any 5"er.
