I've never fished Amistad before but both the regular setup (bottom hook) and the top hook 316 rising son are some of the baits I sent to Amistad for a friend to use this week. Those two baits can cover a lot of situations from top to bottom.



the fisherman formerly known as Blu-Ranger....

Thanks Zeroed. We have quite a bit of swimbaits but more importantly we have what works. The Ospreys and Ragos in the 5-7" have been selling like hotcakes with many customers coming back for seconds. You couldn't come down at a better time since the water level has finally stabilized and the swimbait bite has taken off. Also stock Optimum swimbaits in the Light hitch color which I believe to be the only one that has it right now and Top shelf swimbaits which are also proven to be big fish catchers. Would be glad to have you as a customer.

Last year one of the well known guides was throwing a Optimum baby line thru in Wakasagi...don't think the top of the line was available when we went but would be the bait to have for that type of fishing. they were available at differnt places around the lake...

Karlens Tackle has both the light hitch and Wakasagi in optimum and Osprey. The Ragos are also hot, hot, hot.
