I have been fishing some swim baits for smallies here on the river and not had a bit of luck catching them on them. But yet I can turn around and throw a jig or a crank and catch fish have any of you guys had the same kind of luck. What type of swim bait are you catching smallies succesfully on? 

6" Huddleston, 3:16 Wake Jr, Mattlures Hardgill, and big walking baits.

Its a small swimbait by those standards, but the Roboworm EZ Shad.

I've had some success with a 4 1/2" Bass Magic soft swimbait.

Falcon

I have had good luck on the 5" and 6" Basstrix Paddle Tail Swimbaits. Also on the Sebile Magic Swimmers in the 125 size.

Peral white Zoom swimming fluke or a RI skinny dipper.

Allen

Its a small swimbait by those standards, but the Roboworm EZ Shad.

Cool looking bait - are you throwing these on a jig head or a swimbait hook?

A Berkley Hollow Belly Swimbait (5 inch) on a 1/2 jig head was easily my best Fall bait last season ~ right into November in fact.

Thank you.

My pleasure.

If your fishing in the Great Lakes system check out these goby swimbaits from TYLURE. Haven't tried one yet, but they look pretty cool. http://independenttackle.com/tylure-kicker-goby-swimbait.html

a cheap one that works good for me on shallow river smallies is the storm wild eye shad soft swimbait in 1/4oz (3.5in?)

the 95 magic swimmer in white lady is one of my favorites.

From this morning. Another vote for the wild eye swim shad by Storm.

in 4 inch and 5 inches works best for me

I don't have much luck with swim baits for smallies in the rivers I fish, although the Swim Senkos have worked to a small degree.  Maybe swimbait success for smallies is a lake thing?
