SpinLight Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 What is everybody's favorite small swimbait (if you throw them) for spotted bass on light line? Quote
Throwafrog Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 3.8 Keitech fat swing impact Texas rigged on a screw lock swimbait hook and the option of nail weights in the belly holes. Keitech also has a 2.8" and 3.3" if you want to go even smaller 3 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted January 9, 2020 Global Moderator Posted January 9, 2020 I get mine hand poured, 2.5 inch (the ones on top and bottom). He can make any size but I do very well on that 2.5. 1 Quote
5by3 Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Don’t have any spots around me, but the 3” megabass sparks had has been good to me for largemouth and smallmouth. 1 1 Quote
Super User FryDog62 Posted January 9, 2020 Super User Posted January 9, 2020 I haven’t used them for spots but they work for smallmouth and white bass in my area - 3 inch Dark Sleeper in 1/2 or 3/4 oz. Very compact, versatile lure. Can’t go wrong with the Keitechs mentioned above either IMO... 1 Quote
Hook2Jaw Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 I've caught a few on a 3.5" YUM Pulse. 1 Quote
Tizi Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 2.8 Keitech Fat Impact and Dark Sleeper are my best producers. 1 1 Quote
Drew03cmc Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Depends on what you classify a small swimbait. I wouldn't hesitate to throw a Mattlures Tournament shad or a 5" Triple Trout. 1 Quote

Keitech also has a 2.8" and 3.3" if you want to go even smaller I use the 2.8 and 3.3. Fat Impacts. My other two favorites are the 3" and 3.5" Easy Shiner. Just bought a pack of the MegaBass 3" Sparks. I fish Lake Martin for spotted bass, a highland reservoir in Alabama, that is deep and has a lot of rocks, especially on the lower end, with the upper end being a little more shallow closer to where the Tallapoosa River comes in. Spots are smaller here on average than in Smith Lake, but still put up a great fight on light tackle! 1 Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted January 10, 2020 Super User Posted January 10, 2020 Mister Twister 2" Sassy Shad. I usually fish them on a 1/8 oz jig head. Once in a while I will fish them under a bobber. 1 Quote
JohnnyF Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 1/4oz ball head with a keitech fat impact 3.3 and 3.8. I like a 3.5-4" easy shiner on an underspin 1 Quote
Super User WRB Posted January 10, 2020 Super User Posted January 10, 2020 Any soft plastic 3" to 4" that is lime green or pearl white with a chartreuse tail will catch Spotted bass everywhere. Spots are not picky feeders, just put it in front of them? Tom 1 Quote
