Swimbaits are one of the most versatile baits on the market producing fish from shallow to deep, and from heavy cover to open water. While there is a soft plastic swimbait that will work in just about any situation, trying to carry a hook for every swimbait style from 2- to 8-inches long requires a lot of sizes.  Complicate that by needing different weights on the hooks to cover the water column from the surface to 30-feet deep, now you're looking at carrying dozens of hook sizes and weights.
