Fishinthefish Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 You get to make a tackle purchase from TW with 100 dollars. I'm going to be buying it for myself and picking the one post that I like the most. I have too many worms, grubs, craws, and most other soft plastics, plenty of terminal tackle, spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, and lipless crank baits. You also have 10 full bottles of JJ's magic. You're light on soft plastic swimbaits, and looking to try a new brand because you're not happy with zoom(considering keitech). The majority of your fishing is in stained water, and shallower than 15 ft of water Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 11, 2016 Global Moderator Posted February 11, 2016 Only $100 Sounds like you have a pretty good idea of what you want. It's easy to blow a bill on Keitechs, hooks, and jigheads. Try some of the regular Swing Impacts and the Fats in a couple different sizes and colors. Electric shad is my favorite color, but I have yet to find a color of them that I didn't like. You can fish the SIF's on a screwlock swimbait hook or a jighead, so you'll probably want some of each of those. Might want to try them on a Scrounger or fish head spin. I also really like the Zman MinnowZ and Diesel MinnowZ for something that will last much longer. Bad Shad, Smokey Shad, and Redbone have been good for me. If you feel like stepping into a little bigger bait, you might try a Savage Gear 3D Line Thru trout. You can stay with the 6" bait so you don't need specialized gear, and they're only $13 so you won't break the bank either, and they last for a long time. 2 Quote

Fishinthefish Posted February 11, 2016 Author Posted February 11, 2016 I already ordered 300 in tackle since january, I'm trying to budget myself on swimbaits since they're not a full confidence bait yet, which is something I'm trying to change this year. I've already got all of the terminal I need, I just need to pick some actual baits. Quote

jjconnaire Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Wel if you refer to the recent paddle Tail swimbait post you will gather that Keitech's are high on everyone's list. The worst thing people can say about them is that they aren't durable, but with some glue they last much longer, so that's a solution. Here's my top 3 swimbaits 1. Keitech swing impact fat 2. Keitech swing impact 3. Keitech Easy shiner pair them with a quality swimbait hook and you are golden. I like the owners a lot and confidence baits draggin head a lot. Quote

corn-on-the-rob Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 I know you gave us a "budget," but what is your relative budget. If you are okay with spending money on higher quality baits and understand that you won't have much quantity, go with keitech and other above suggestions. If you just want a crapload of baits, go with the cheaper brands, many of them are still very effective. Or you can always buy a bunch of different brands to try a pack and see what you like. Quote
Fishinthefish Posted February 11, 2016 Author Posted February 11, 2016 I was limiting myself more so much for just the sake of n it being new brands I'm looking to try and I don't want to commit a bunch of money to a brand if I didn't like it any more than I liked zoom. Quote
BaitMonkey1984 Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 I have been looking for some new swimsuits. The Yum money minnows are good but I go through them quick and they are costly. I should use mend it but I don't. For whatever reason. Tackle Warehouse has a great sale on Big Bite Swimsuits. $2 for 4 5" swimbait. I have never used them but they look pretty darn good. Quote

thebillsman Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Big Bite has a couple decent little swimbaits Quote
0119 Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 I'd go cheap on the soft plastic and spend the money on the best hooks or better yet Warbait jig heads. But then again I don't think I'd be buying much more of a bait type I don't have a developed sense of confidence in "yet". I think I'd spend it on some of Yo-zuri's 3DB Pencils and Square Bills.
