You ought to check out this article by Mike Bucca.  It is very informative about swimbait fishing on Allatoona.

He throws mostly big Huddleston Deluxe, 22nd Century Triple Trouts and Hampton Shad (not on the market yet).  I email back and forth with Mike some, and apparently the swimbait bite isn't that great on Allatoona during the summer though...so don't get discouraged if you don't get bit much.  

Good luck!

what about the nest raider

[Todd]

I have no idea about the nest raider on Allatoona.  I could be wrong, but I think that the nest raider is mostly designed for sight fishing bedding fish during the spawn.

Hey Loving Fishing,

I fish Allatoona at least 3 to 4 times a week. And right now is not the time to be throwing big baits. I spend all my time right now with the water temps in the mid 80 drop shotting and shaky head fishing with mixed results. With that being said 'Toona is a tuff lake some days you can catch great numbers and others you throw the whole tacklestore at them and just nothing will bite. But don't worry when the fall comes it will be on.
