I want to purchase 2-3 HUGE swimbaits I can chuck around one day, and I am wondering about matching the forage to the reservoir/ lake/ pond I am fishing. This seems like it's cut and dry but what if my lake only has shad/ bluegill/ bream/ crappie? Do i buy one of those weird sunfish or gizzard shad swimbaits? I'm not doubting their effectiveness, I just have never seen pros use them, they usually use trout style Huddleston type baits.
Would a Hud catch a bass on a lake with no trout in it? Or should I match the swimbait style to the forage exactly? If anyone has used these big bluegill/ crappie mimicking huge swimsuits let me know.
I could easily match the hatch with small swimbait but i'm talking about large ones like 6"+
Thanks guys

I am on a small reservoir called Lake Horton in Georgia for now, but will be going over to Lake Westpoint, Allatoona, Carters, Oconee etc.at some point.
These are the alternatives i'm referring to
