What is everybody's favorite small swimbait (if you throw them) for spotted bass on light line?

 

Posted

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

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...

2.8 Keitech Fat Impact and Dark Sleeper are my best producers.

Depends on what you classify a small swimbait. I wouldn't hesitate to throw a Mattlures Tournament shad or a 5" Triple Trout.

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!

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.

1/4oz ball head with a keitech fat impact 3.3 and 3.8. I like a 3.5-4" easy shiner on an underspin

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?

Definitely.  Very nomadic on herring lakes, though!
