livetofish28 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Today was the first day I have actually gotten to fish the Shockwave for an extended period of time and man does it catch fish. The bait has an awesome side to side action when rigged on a 5/0 owner twistloc and a 3/8 oz tungsten weight. I like to fish soft plastic swimbaits a lot and this bait was most effective fished on the rig I described. I have never had a bait that was choked down by bass before. Every single one of the 15 fish I caught today with the biggest being 5+, was hooked way back almost into the gullet of the bass with most of the bait actually swallowed. Durability is another thing that really impressed me with this bait. I only had to replace the bait once because the spot where the hook penetrates the bait got so big it would not stay on the hook anymore. Missile baits definitely got it right with this bait. tight lines Andrew 1 Quote

Super User kickerfish1 Posted March 15, 2014 Super User Posted March 15, 2014 Good to hear and thanks for weighing in. I have always enjoyed the d-bombs and it looks like these will be added to the list next. Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted March 15, 2014 Super User Posted March 15, 2014 I got a few packs at an expo this year. Cant wait to use them. Quote
livetofish28 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Posted March 15, 2014 What other swimbaits do you use...just as a point of reference Money minnows, swimming superfluke in various sizes, sea shad, some generic brand that i have had laying around, a local company around here called lake Anna bait co Gary Yammamoto and a couple of others i have had used and forgot about. These are my new absolute favorites. it caught better fish than the Huddleston deluxe weedless shad tight lines Andrew Quote
Super User Montanaro Posted March 16, 2014 Super User Posted March 16, 2014 cool. I like swim senkos but they are expensive so I really want to give shock wave a try Quote
ThurmanMerman Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 I'm located in Indy and my pond finally thawed today. I tried mike iaconellis devil spear on a vmc 1/8 swim hook and I didn't think too much of it. It was running sideways most of the time. The tail did have some nice action. I'm interested in trying the shock wave. I already like flipping the d bomb. Quote
livetofish28 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Posted March 16, 2014 If you watch it in the water it looks like it is spinning in circles but it is doing a extreme U the bass couldn't get enough of it today. I was using the Shrapnel color tight lines Andrew Quote
SpencerLittle Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 IMO they have the best action of the swim baits I've had a chance to use and seen used. I'm going to really try to expand on using swim baits in and around grass this year. Quote
