gopeymuck Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 I have fished soft swim baits, but want to give hard bodies a try. I fish in N AL waters. Do you all have anyone in particular to recommend? There are so many, like any other lure, so it is hard to know. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 2, 2021 Global Moderator Posted January 2, 2021 Depends on how much you want to spend but a MS Slammer, 7" Shine Glide, or FishLab Bio Wake Gill would be good ones on the lower end. Quote
Super User NorthernBasser Posted January 2, 2021 Super User Posted January 2, 2021 You talking large swimbaits or smaller? A few good ones already mentioned. The S-Waver 168 is a solid glide bait that won't break the bank. Another one is the Storm Arashi Glide. Quote
Born 2 fish Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 5-6 inch bullshads and a G2 shellcracker. Quote
Super User MassYak85 Posted January 2, 2021 Super User Posted January 2, 2021 What's your budget and what gear do you have to throw them on? So many great lures out there. Quote
gopeymuck Posted January 3, 2021 Author Posted January 3, 2021 Thanks all for the recommendations so far. I have a variety of bait casters and rods up to medium-heavy. I'm willing to spend whatever I need to so I will have the best chance of catching fish. Same for the size; whatever is the better size. Quote
Kdizzle Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 The Savage Gear 4Play is a good cheap swimbait. I know its a glide but its extremely effective, and you don't need a broomstick rod to safely cast it. Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted January 3, 2021 Super User Posted January 3, 2021 As mentioned, the MS slammer works, as does the Triple Trout. Be sure to check that the weight of the baits don't exceed your rod rating. Quote
Mr. Aquarium Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 There’s so many, I love Ms slammer! Limit lures, drt klash Line up, triple trout. Bullshad, Matt lures, DS customs, savage gear so Many company’s Quote
Big Swimbait Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Bullshad and a Spro rat won't break the bank. For a real bargain get you the 7" Ima Glide-Fluke (sinking). It's on sale at TW right now for $13. Quote

Swimbait rods rated 1-3 oz or bass rods rated 1/4- 1 oz? Tom Quote

Super User WRB Posted January 3, 2021 Super User Posted January 3, 2021 Dobyns is discounting the DC794SB $100 that meets your needs, jump on that deal. Tom 2 Quote
Super User ATA Posted January 3, 2021 Super User Posted January 3, 2021 River2Sea 160 and 200 are good choice for the money, If you want to level up, Baitsanity for cheaper and Deps 250 if you willing to pay more. Quote

suzuki2903 Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 River 2 sea s waver is probably the best bang for the buck . Trout color works pretty well Quote
