gunsndrums1 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 What is the best swimbait? Never fished swimbaits before, looking for one in bluegill or other sunfish colors, perch too. How do you rig these swimbaits too? Saw a video of these guys fishing them and it briefly showed them screwing it in to the hook. You cant rig these like a soft plastic? any reccomendations? Quote
Joedodge Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Take a look at the gambler ez swimmer in white lightning and redear. Great action an colors Quote
Joedodge Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Swim bait hooks with the screw lock gives them a better action thy can be texas rigged on a ewg hook tho 1 Quote
Big C Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Sick Fish bream color. Rig it on a weighted swimbait hook. 1 Quote
BigBassLoveSenkos Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 my vote is for the keitech fat swing impact on a 1/4oz swim jig 3/0 or 4/0 in black or sight fishing. deadly. Quote
bassinyea Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Keitech swing impact fat. Gold flash color works good round here. Quote
BigBassLoveSenkos Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 kicker slappers are good too, but not as durable as keitechs Quote
Lewi Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 There are so many sweet swim jigs to choose from it makes my head spin. What has been awesome for me is the Gambler Ez swimmers like joedodge stated. I will texas rig 'em. -Lewi Quote
BigBassLoveSenkos Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Lewi brings up an excellent bait. The gambler ez has one of the best paddletail movements on the market. The magic happens when u slack the line. Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted March 9, 2015 Global Moderator Posted March 9, 2015 RI Skinny Dippers for a wild paddle, only slight body wiggle. Big EZ for a more pronounced lower body and paddle thump. (Don't use the EZ Swimmer) All are rigged with an 5/0 or 6/0 Owner twist lock 3/16 or 1/4 oz belly weighted hook. 7/0 when useing the Gambler Duz-It set up. For colors my favorite is Houdini and Bull Frog for the Skinny Dipper, June Bug and Forty-Niner for the Big EZ. Mike Quote
Super User J Francho Posted March 9, 2015 Super User Posted March 9, 2015 It's like asking what the best worm is. A Mini Slammer, Hudd 68, and a Hard Gill would be a hard to beat start. You wouldn't need some outrageous custom outfit to cast them either. 1 Quote
ib_of_the_damned Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 It's like asking what the best worm is. A Mini Slammer, Hudd 68, and a Hard Gill would be a hard to beat start. You wouldn't need some outrageous custom outfit to cast them either. Throw in a 6" BBZ-1 Trout, an S-Waver, 6" Savage Gear Line Thru 3D as well Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted March 9, 2015 Super User Posted March 9, 2015 Another mostly overlooked option is the 5" Sebile Soft Magic Swimmer. Slow roll this bad boy through a weed bed and it will get bit. Quote
chadlass Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Swimbait has a different meaning to different people. Do you mean Big baits like Huddlestons and Deps, or soft swimbaits like the Keitech or the Big-EZ? Quote
OK Bass Hunter Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Roman Made Negotiator. If the bait don't put you in the poor house. The setup needed to throw it will. Quote
