smr_hga Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 So i've seen these swimbaits online, they're Savage Gear 3D Line Thru. I also happen to be looking for a swimbait like that, the 6" baby bass version specifically. Anyone use these baits, had any luck? Quote
bigturtle Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 i have the 6" slow sinking version and iv had lots of fish on it Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 21, 2016 Global Moderator Posted May 21, 2016 Yeah, they're awesome baits. Very durable and affordable and they catch all sizes of fish. Quote
Super User MassYak85 Posted May 21, 2016 Super User Posted May 21, 2016 I have a few of them, they're good, especially for the price and very durable. The line through design is nice too. The only thing is you won't be able to crawl them on the bottom as slow as say a Hudd. They have more of an S-action and at extremely slow speeds they will straighten out. But you will quickly find out what speed you need to reel it to keep the action, and once you find that, any speed will work. You can absolutely burn them and they won't turn over. 1 Quote

ErikmonBillsfon Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Love the line thru baby bass. You can learn tricks to do with it either jerk it slow roll it, burn it on the surface. When it falls on slack line it will sometimes shimmie like a senko and roll. Really want to try out the hybrid pike. Quote

Have you used the 8" line thru? How about the paddle tail ones ("real trout")? I'm about to order several SG swimbaits and wanted to ask on here before I pulled the trigger. But it seems like people on here have lots of good things to say about them, especially at the price point... Quote

I haven't fished the real trout but for 1/3 the price of a Hudd, they're worth trying. 1 Quote

stkbassn Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 Love the Savage line thru baits, very affordable and they catch fish! I haven't tried the Real Trout yet but I'm going to pick one up. One thing I keep reading about people comparing the Hudd I disagree with to an extent. I think comparing it really isn't apples to apples because the point of the Hudd was to make a realistic profile that had a subtle action to draw fish. It wasn't meant or designed to be a bait that had lots of action. 1 Quote

Bossofthemoss Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Just bought a 3d bluegill. First time I'll be using a swim bait. Can't wait to try it out. Quote

Super User fishwizzard Posted February 14, 2019 Super User Posted February 14, 2019 I bought of their 5" 3D Bluegills last fall and that thing has the most amazingly bad hookup ratio. The stock trebles are very small in relation to the lure and any bass that does not really eat the lure is going to shake it off like 90% of the time. It got hit a lot though and I want to keep using it, I think this spring I am going to remove the bottom treble and try a far larger one on top, if that does't work I will try a BB rig or something like that. The lure has such a good "alarmed panfish running all-out" action but I don't know why they stuck such small hooks on it. I see that they now have a 4" model with a top jig-hook, does anyone know if it has the same action as the 5" one? If so I think it could be a real winner. Quote

I have one that's about to fall apart it got chewed on so many times last year. It's about the perfect imitation of that snack sized bluegill. Quote

I have a lot of luck with the Mattlures small gills but loosing one of them to a snapping turtle is painful. Quote
