how are the strike king king kong swimbaits? are they worth the 30 bucks? they look kinda cheesy and ive heard bad things about strike king cranks.

thanks for the input.

It seems wierd fishing with one but after you get confidence with it its awsome.

They're decent baits.  I bought a few of them last Spring, and have had success with all of them.  I would suggest the River2Sea Kong swimbaits at this point since I have used both.  The River2Sea brand seems to catch more fish.  The Kokanee, Matt Perch, and Chrome/Black work best for me on the big waters I fish.  

You almost can't fish these baits from shore in my opinion.  You have to fish them in the deep channels and deep cover.  Old roadbeds, creeks, and structure are the places I have the best luck.

thanks for the input guys.

i was lookin at river2sea's kong...it looks great in the water (vid). they also have a v-joint min wake which is just like the king kong only smalller and i plan on buying one of those if i dont get one for xmas.

why do they work better over deep structure? i would think they work good in shallo structure where the bass can see it more...

does it work better in clear water? cuz the water wher i fish is heavily stained, and i think bass might have a hard time seeing it if they are that deep...but then again the deepest my lakes might go is 20-30 feet.
