So I'm 16 and have been fishing tourneys for three years now and done fairly well.. I see alot of people using swimbaits but never really had intrest in them.. I would like to know when to use them, are they affective baits the just on the baits any help would be appreciated..
if you need money minnows or silly bunnies, let me know, i have enough for a few lifetimes. gonna put on ebay soon.
I think they're better in the spring and early fall, but I'm still working on them. They really catch peacock bass if you use a big one! They are probably pretty versatile depending on how you define them when used in water with some clarity and when bass are feeding up and/or on suspended prey.
Jches, if you can make it out to the Wonderland show I would love to show you how to apply them here in Michigan... Look for the Optimum Baits banner (yellow) Thanks Duane
Optimum is what I caught my peacock bass and wolf fish on in Brazil.
Frank, let me know what you are looking to unload, I'm buying.

I did well last spring on a strike king sexy swimmer...would work after I beat up a school of fish with a jerkbait or a trap. I didn't do much with it but swim it in really slowly and I'd usually catch a few more fish. I've caught some on the hollow bodies to but my best luck was on the sexy swimmer. I need to play around with that more this spring!
I fish them sometimes. I have caught fish on them, mainly blue gill pattern hard baits in the summer. I have never had great success on them anywhere. I am still trying to figure out when they will eat it and when they won't and how to make them eat it.
