The Big Swimbait Debate

[Primus]

I live in Michigan and  I have caught a fair amount of largemouth on the 8" Spro BBZ , most are 2-4 lbs with the occasional outlier fish that are larger or even sometimes smaller than that. The wicked Perch color works well up here . Had a very good day a couple of years back on a mid summer day catching about 10 nice Bass in 1 outing on an inland lake with the wind blowing about 30 mph using the slow sink version targeting suspended fish in about 8' -10 ' of water on the outside edges as this lake has a combination of lily pads & milfoil along it's entire shore line . I think the rattle and the profile drew them out that day.

 

I would love to post pictures on this site from time to time, that said I can't seem to do it because maybe there are to many pixels. That said my computer skills are novice at best.?

 

I like to use a Dobyn's 867 with a Tranx 301 and 25 lb Sunline Floro. The 867 rod throws this bait with ease and would be a great option to throw baits in the 4 to 6-1/2 oz range if your budget allows. 

 

Now ,  I'm going to throw you a curve. The 6" BBZ has caught me fish as big or bigger on average than the 8" and if you don't have the rod/ reel combo to throw an 8" bait I would start with that one first as it will give you more confidence if your new to swimbaits and they weigh around 2 ounces depending on sink rate which can be thrown on a wide variety of set-ups. The BBZ swimbaits are proven affordable option for those getting started in the hard swimbait game.
