Just read the article on Bassmasters about "Swimbaits - Texas Style" and then visited the Triple J Swimbaits site. They look really good! Anybody have much luck with these? If so what size and colors? How do you like to rig them? Thanks

Ben's baits are killer! I mainly throw the 1J and 2J baits because I can throw them in timber / brush / grass and they come back with fish attached. Rig the 1J with a 8/0 weighted Owner Beast and the 2J with a 10/0 weighted Beast. I like his bluegill and crappie colors because that's what the profile of those baits suggests. For the line-thru baits, I get them in shad colors.

I am not familiar with triple j swimbaits but I have never found a reason with any swimbaits I fish to need a big 10/0 hook...

The top bait is the 2J - it's deep and nearly 6" long. You need the big hook on that bait and with the size of fish it attracts, there's no reason not to use it. http://www.triplejswimbaits.com/images/stories/swimbaits/weedless.jpgHere's the largest and smallest fish I've caught on the 2J. His bigger baits aren't "numbers" swimbaits like a basstrix or money minnow style bait.

LoneStar64, I echo what the others have said about Triple J baits and most of all about Ben. He and I went to college together, fished together regularly, and you will not find a nicer guy. If you want personal service from a lure manufacturer, give Ben a call. But when you start catching BIG fish here in East Texas on those baits, PLEASE do not tell anybody. I've been keeping it a secret here behind the "pine curtain" for several years. These things catch fish! Good Luck

They closed shop, sadly. I could use some new baits.
