formulagamble Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Has anyone used this swim bait before? Quote
Avalonjohn44 Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 I didn't know they had a swim bait, but I have used their soft jerkbaits, their Charm Assassin Trick Worm style baits, and their Eager Beavers. I swear by the charm assassin. It is a great floating worm, like a trick worm with one tapered end. I fish it a bunch of ways (t-rigged, weightless, and shaky), and have had some great success on it.

formulagamble Posted March 26, 2008 Author Posted March 26, 2008 yeah gotem today the guy told me the swimbaits just came out. Quote
Super User Raul Posted March 26, 2008 Super User Posted March 26, 2008 BassAssassin is a BRAND, not a bait. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted March 26, 2008 Super User Posted March 26, 2008 Haven't used the swimbaits but have used the jerkbaits. The 5" shad assassin has a better action than a Super Fluke. Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Haven't used the swimbaits but have used the jerkbaits. The 5" shad assassin has a better action than a Super Fluke. I don't know about BETTER than a fluke but I would say they are comparable. I didn't even know they made swimbaits, anyone got a pic? Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Found them. Although they are calling them a swimbait, it's essentially a 5" shad body. ( solid body basstrix) Quote
formulagamble Posted March 27, 2008 Author Posted March 27, 2008 so, it's really not a swim bait?....I tried them out yesterday. I fished it with no weight and really think my presentation was just wrong. Quote

I think they have a little bit more wiggle and seems to squirm more on the jerk than a fluke. The downside is they slide down the hook easier than a fluke though. Quote
