Swimbaits...

Guys and Gals, I have been doing a lot of research on the latest and greatest hype regarding bass fishing tackle. The plastic swimbait in the 3.5 to 6 inch version have been a mainstay lately on the pro tour and this year I am bound and determined to figure them out. The most important thing that I have learned about them is that you have to use a weighted hook when fishing them. The weight has to be on the belly of the hook or else your bait will roll and not swim straight. Unfortunately they are really hard to find!! If you are able to get your hands on a mustad power lock in the 2/0 size, you will have your best success when throwing the smaller 3.5 inch version. The larger sizes can be used with a 4/0 hook. The poorboy's silly rabbit comes with a few hooks and I have found them to be perfect for that size.

Just a little tid bit to help you before your next outing.

Stay tuned and I will be giving reports of my success while using them.
