I've never bought a swimbait before, and am extremely hesitant spending even $15 on one lure.  I really wany to get a swimbait though.

Is the Reaction Strike Revolution Shad Swimbaits any good?  Any recommendations for a swimbait that's around 4 inches or so that's in that price range?

I'm not much into swimbaits, but I have heard good things about the Strike King swimbaits. I have been wanting to try one if I can ever get myself to spend that much on one.

Academy sells a 4.5 inch swimbait(the brand is h2o and they can only be bought at academy) for like 8 dollars and it works really well!

i've heard the revolution shads are junk, and i've heard the spro bbz-1 shads are good. haven't used either though.

For hard swimbaits I use the academy h2o's I use both the 3.5 and the 4.5. For soft I use the huddleston deluxe.

Far as I know there isn't academy in FLA. :-/ My reccomendation would be a sexy swimmer.It is 5 inches long,but big deal,catches dinks just the same.It has a slender profile and mimics a perfect sized morsel. Otherwise I would definitely go with the spro bbz in the floater model. With the floater you get a better idea of how the bait moves and how you can work it.

I throw Huddleston Deluxe and BBZ-1 Trout and Shad's. Yes they are a little expensive but in my opinion well worth the investment.

I have never used a Revolution Shad, but I have actually heard some positive things about the swimming abilities of the bait.

I believe Randall (member here) prefers the RS to the Spro.

not really a true swimbait , but the swimming senko has brought me in some good sized fish. cheaper than the rest too.

Swimbaits are overrated... stick to senkos

have both a RS Revolution Shad and Bluegill and well....they're junk, both swim on their sides at anything other than a slow crawl, wouldn't waste the money.  I like the 4'' TT, Spro, King Shads, and the Sexy and Magic Swimmers.  I have an H2O but haven't fished it yet

Do I detect a note of sarcasm?  :-?

go with the spro BBZ-1....

its a great bait,

i have one blue herring floater

and

one dirty shad slow sink

they swim perfectly at any speed.
