B.A.S.S. Tournament - LittleLuey - 02-25-2008

I saw a little bit of that this weekend. Did anyone see it?

they had a pro talking about the swimbaits, they were traying them out in a pool and this bait was maybe 6" long and it had a very realistic motion, at one point the guy made it turn 180ยบ to "look back", that is sick!
Has anyone use those large swimbaits and what is your opinion?

One of my biggest largemouth was caught on a swimbait. They are starting to get popular with the pros after they have caught a nice weigh-in weight but are looking for that fat kicker to finish it off. I like using the smaller swimbaits just because the are a little more easier to cast and less splash but I've been called a sissy fisherman because I prefer lighter baits. Swimbaits may not produce numbers but you can bet on size. Big fish eat other fish.

I have never seen a swimbait that can do a 180 degree turn. That must be something.

I do use lots of the bigger swimbaits too. Mostly the 9 to 12" lengths for LMB and Stripers.

I do use some of the smaller ones in the ocean since size doesn't matter there.

I do like the Castaic Swim baits, Huddlestons and the Matt Lures.[cool]
