Recommend me a swimbait, BR!

Lightening shad or the green trout have always been good to me - but to be honest if you have one color that imitates a gold rapala and one that imitates a silver rapala you can catch fish anywhere. Gold shiner on slammers has been magic for me.

Triple Trout is a wood lure that pre dates glides, looks plain Jane especally the finish, fun lure to fish with it does so many different movements and can turn around 180 degrees. This lure catches bass everywhere I have used it the past 20 years.

I've got an old Triple Trout, purchased back when there were waiting lines, and the paint is just about gone off the bait. I remember being a little disappointed when I first got it, thinking that it wouldn't win any beauty contest, but it did swim great and landed fish. I see now they are making them using resin instead of wood and am thinking of trying the newer ones. I'm just wondering if the performance is as good as the older wood models.

This is the same thing a lot of new folks seem to say about the Bull Shad. The line tie isn't always straight, the finish isn't pretty, the whole bait overall isn't pretty, it just catches fish is all. Pretty baits are nice, but I'll take an ugly bait that catches fish over a shelf queen any day.
