I dont really fish w/ them and i wanna start so if i can get some good pointers on them it wil be much apprecieated. I go w/ the havoc and the money minnow. Im just wanting to really know the type of line and hooks to use. Im going to be throwing it on a 7'0 6.3.1 reel. Thanks

I'm using the 8/0owner beast with the fringe tackle hollow bodies on 20# invisx.

Thanks guys....going to academy now lol

The bite is addicting..

Wait till someone introduces you to 10" + swimbaits....thats when it gets addicting

I'm all ears. More info on that please!

Biggest I've thrown is the osprey talon. That's the coolest bite I've had. She chased it right up to the boat, reminded me of the 1st sighting of Jaws. Were gonna need a bigger boat!!!!

I am currently out in arizona but plan moving to texas in the next few months. I have been using large swimbaits for the past 8months and caught 2 10lbers, 3 9lbers, several 7-8lbers....its addicting seeing a fish take such a giant bait. I will definately be incorporating them into my fishing in texas knowing how many big bass are out there.

There seems to be a swimbait bug going around Texas over the past year or two..

Totally agree with this and to a large degree I attribute the increased interest to angler acceptance of the logic that swimbaits in general mimic what bass co-habit with daily.

What color is that and do you still make it?

Clear Lake Shad proto...smoke top & tail gold/? 90% translucent belly..

Jeff....is that the same color we were asking you to make on the other thread? Red gills?maybe
