TC235 <*))))>< Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Well just wanted to post this as more of a thank you to BR and all it's participating members. After studying the valuable information found MOSTLY HERE and putting some time on the water i've finally starting to understand the fine art of swimbaits! It's taken a bit, but i can confidently go out to any given BOW and use a 6in bait or bigger. Here's what time and effort can do! THANK YOU BASS RESOURCE!!! 2 Quote
Mccallister25 Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Thats a good one!! Iv never caught anything on a swimbait. Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted July 16, 2013 Super User Posted July 16, 2013 That's a nice fish how much you think it weighed? Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted July 16, 2013 Super User Posted July 16, 2013 Nice fish, great pic! Quote
TC235 <*))))>< Posted July 16, 2013 Author Posted July 16, 2013 Thanks everyone. Was indeed caught on a spro bbz jr. I didn't weight her seeings how she wasn't a true Goliath, but probably all of 5lbs Quote
GoneFishi'n Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Once you get that first quality swimbait bass, everything falls into place on how a bass will hit big baits. You'll remember this bass forever. Now the addiction begins haha. 2 Quote
Super User J Francho Posted July 16, 2013 Super User Posted July 16, 2013 Congrats. Sticking a fiver will get you to throw those baits more often, for sure. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted July 16, 2013 Super User Posted July 16, 2013 Congrats man. Keep on chuckin' Quote
vikingbear8 Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Thats a good one, I have a couple BBZs sitting at the bottom of my box maybe I should throw them more often Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted July 16, 2013 Super User Posted July 16, 2013 That is one beaut of a largie! Congrats! I too love the BBZ-1 Jr.. Quote
TC235 <*))))>< Posted July 16, 2013 Author Posted July 16, 2013 As always thanks everyone. The sensation of throwing a bait like that and not to mention getting a big one to bite in a spot people already pounded was a gamechanger for me! After catching that bass i know swimbaits truly do require patience, patience, patience in order to get quality bites. It's dang worth it though! As for the Spro... For $20 there good in my book! I've seen some intense baits in person and they look, feel, fish awesome, but IMO the BBZ is a wonderful answer to the poor angler in need of a SB that will catch big fish. The only con is the hooks may need to be changed. They get a good amount of bites! This happens just to be the best largie yet. Im definitely gonna keep thowing them!! Quote

Your a spot on about the hooks being changed. Get some Owner ST-36 Size 1 and you are set. Quote
Mccallister25 Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Hey TC, what are the specs of the rod your throwin that SB on? Quote
stkbassn Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Awesome fish man! Congrats on the swimbait paying off for you. I love big bait fishing myself. I think it's a mindset and a style more than anything. It's a style of fishing that may not reward you with great numbers but it wasn't designed to do so....it was designed mainly for what you're holding in your hand in that pic...and more like it! Keep throwing those swimbaits! If you haven't seen Southern Trout Eaters yet please do yourself a favor and pick up that dvd....you'll love it and it will give you some pointers as well. It's very inspiring! Quote
TC235 <*))))>< Posted July 17, 2013 Author Posted July 17, 2013 Hey TC, what are the specs of the rod your throwin that SB on? The great thing about the bbz 6in jr is it's capable of being thrown even on MH. Even if it's not leaning towards a more H action. Im throwing mine on a cheap 7'6 MH Powell Diesel and works great.
