Wondering about this bait...Ive seen the Spittin Image(similar to a Zara Spook,Walk the dog type bait)

Ive also seen the Pop'n Image(A popper)

What is the Swim'n Image supposed to be? A Jerkbait? A shallow Crankbait?

Who has used the Swim'n Image,and what technique did you use?

Think Shallow Shad Rap (07) but a little heavier with a rattle.

I have one, used it half dozen times, really like the look of it in the water, but the fish have yet to catch on to how good it looks.

The Swim'N Image has been my favorite shallow crankbaits for about 5 or 6 years now. As has been stated, it has a tight wobble and runs to 18" per the manufacturer's claim. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, it doesn't seem to have caught on with anglers because they're getting harder and harder to find. BPS used to carry them but don't anymore.

You can see them and buy them from the manufacturer by going to lurenet.com, clicking on Heddon at the top and then scroll till you find them. That's a cranbait I wouldn't want to be without.

That's very interesting. When I type Swim'n Image into the search box it tells me I got -0- results.

Striper and hybrids like them. Can be twitched, but a steady slow retrieve works best for me.....no bass as of yet though.

To put it simply, these lures catch fish.  I’ve caught Bass, crappie, speckled trout, and redfish using these lures.  Every time I can find them on sale, I buy them.  I do not plan to be without this lure in my arsenal.

Yes, these are one of my favorites for shallow water as well. Stop and go retrieve is what I use most in the late spring / early summer months. 

I've caught, Bass, chain pickerel, and a rainbow trout (a surprise for sure).

I once caught 4 LMB out of 5 casts with this lure.
