Stumbled across this today. All you ever need to know!

"This is why many bass fishers swear by swimbaits, while others have been unwilling to move away from the lures that have given them success in the past."

lmao

I loved the pic of the dink with a rattle trap "diving for the lure"   ;D

Did you notice that he quoted a couple local sources?  

I clicked on the link, and all I can think to say is...I want the last 2 minutes of my life back!   :

Ok I am now a pro. Thanks. :

......and to think he got paid a dollar a word for that

I'll no longer have to pay big$$$$ for swimbaits any more all of my tackle are swimbaits. ;D

WOW!! Look out KVD! Were all in trouble now with this genius on the loose.

I can't wait to try that nose weighted flapin tail worm swimbait for the first time...

I'll no longer have to pay big$$$$ for swimbaits any more all of my tackle are swimbaits. ;D

Nor do you have to use that 7' plus heavy rod for your "tube" swimbait, any ordinary rod will work

Thanks Jay...

I am now dumber for reading that. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.     ;D

I think I've actually become a worse fisherman by reading that  :

Wow.  There is too much gold there to even make an effective smart arse comment .

I guess I don't need that $200 Chronarch reel and it probably doesn't matter what line I use either. Maybe fishing really is that simple we just overthink it and make it difficult. ;D See still plenty of smart--- remarks to be made. ;D

"The basic technique for using swimbaits is to cast you line as long  as possible and reel it in as slowly as possible to create more lifelike movements. It's also important to use a large diameter line, since thinner lines tend to sink too quickly."

Cast me line as long as possible. Check. Don't use 6 lb test because it sinks too quickly. Check. What the crap kind of person is this? I don't know why, but I'm kinda p'd off after reading that. Yes, like most of you, I had to keep reading until the end. I guess I'm grumpy because it's past my bed time.
