Bought a Charlie swimbait and it swims like it's "special". It runs true, then on it's side and back. Speed is of no matter. The Storm baits are flat out crap...... Let's get to the point. What it the best bang for the buck. I'm just looking for a true running swimbait. I'm not looking for a exotic $50 lure, one that works.

they arent for the cheap fisherman. Just buy some paddletails like basstrix on ebay or the new berkely and you'll be happy.

check out lakextackle.net its the only soft swimbait i will use and its a killer around here. he's got some awesome baits. they catch fish too

Look at mattlures stuff, reasonably priced and are great baits.  Also the soft 3:16 baits, mighty minnow's, mission fish. again reasonably priced.

ill seconed what he said ^^^  ;D

utahbasser those are some nice smallies. where did you catch them and what did you get them on?

its actually a guy named rodney hurst. i just posted to show the fish people catch on them. but i'm gonna catch that fish prespawn this year! he lives here in utah and makes his own swimbaits. check out my signature to see his stuff.
