Has anyone fished this swimbait? I fished it for a little while this morning in the pond at the end of my street (until it started raining). I didn't catch anything, but saw enough to draw some conclusions. This thing has some action! Fast or slow, it has a wonderful ungulating action. It's a slow sinking lure (the ones I bought). It swims just under the surface on a slow retrieve, and you can keep it on the surface with a faster retrieve. It makes a nice wake. The hooks are especailly good - Owners, according to their catalog. The details are very nice and the finish looks as good as on any Lucky Craft or Jackall. Best of all is the price. I got the 5" models for $12.99 and the 3.5" models for $11.99. I think that's a killer price for what I believe will be a killer lures. Give 'em a whirl.

BTW, my dealer tells me they are sturdier than other jointed swim/wakebaits he sells and that they are finding some favor among striper fishermen.  

Micro,  I had a chance to ck'em out before they came on the market,  and I agree they are a fine bait and the action is terrific as well.

Looks nice! Seems like an inexpensive way to get started with swimbaits.

Great action. The only problem that I have found it that it takes forever to sink. I might want to step up and try the 165 model. I really dont care for there color patterns either (natural shiner is cool), but that didnt keep me from buying a few of them  ;D

Still perfer breaking out the Triple Trout.

Theye make "fast sink" and "slow sink" versions.  The slow sink do sink slow and they rise up on retrieve.  Try a fast sink version and see how that does.

I've only fished it a few times. I had success with a quick retrieve with twitches through schools of baitfish being chased.

I was fishing it a little last weekend when I was trying to get it to u-turn, it would almost always tangle the line in the front hook. I mean it would turn around fine but whats the use if you have to reel it back in to untangle the line afterwards...

Let us know how you do.

oh the bait monkey beckons...  >

This is one of the top swimbaits used by the pros. A very hot item at the moment.

micro,

what color is the one on the bottom of your photo (not in the package)?

i've been thinking about buying one but i dont like any of the colors, but i havent seen that color on any website and i like that color!

I don't know.  The color is not on the label on the box.  I think it's "holo greenie" (D9) according to the catalog.   It was the only one the store had, or I would have bought another.  It looked like a good color, so I bought it.  

hmmmm i'm not seeing it on any website...

do you know of any links where i could find one that color?

Fast sink doesnt sink that fast either.

I've only got one for now but its a pretty good bait. I like reeling in slow with my rod tip high and just waking the surface then stop reeling and let it die with a few twitchs then let it sink a little then continue retrieving. Works good just about the weeds. I don't think i'd want something to go any deeper that had 2 hooks hanging off the bottom cause I'd always be pulling weeds off and I'd probably lose it.

Broke down and bought one after watching Bassmaster Elite Event where everyone was using it and catching fish. After about 20 min. landed a 3 1/2 pounder. Not 5 casts later a musky about 45" grabbed it and took it with him. :'(. Up here where there are toothy critters its hard to plunk down $15.00-$20.00 on a bait when you know that any cast could be its last. Great bait though!

I just googled it and found this place. I don't know anything about it.

hmm... well i just placed an order for a lobina rico, a sebile magic swimmer and a sebile flat shad... hopefully they ship fast!

I picked one up early this year, and was really impressed with the action; caught several fish the first few weeks and have been adding colors and sizes since then. I'm far from being a talented angler, so if I can catch fish with these baits, someone with experience should clean up. I usually fish the Swimmer with a series of twitch moves along grass lines.

Great bait - good luck

delivery expected in 6 days via ups  ;D

I love these lures, even more for pike than for bass. The only problem is they don't sink fast enough for my liking. Maybe if they came out with a faster sinking model, it would be even deadlier. I've caught a couple nice trout on them too.

iceintheveins,

I wonder if stick-on weight (strips) would help it sink faster.

If those pike and musky keep taken your baits then just throw on a leader and you will just have to land  a few    great fun if you do

but I want to pick up a few   seems like good price  and what store did you pick them up at micro ???

I bought mine here.

I have thought about trying them.
