GRIZZ Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Looks like a must have? Anyone know how long it takes for an order? Thanks in advance Quote
shawnmc Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Tacklewharehouse site says mid November. I like the looks of the Tru-Tungsten swimbait as well. Not sure which one I will chose. Quote

swimbait Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 I like the look of that one too. Arent they about the same price? Same price. They both look nice for a SMALL swimbait. Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted October 2, 2008 Super User Posted October 2, 2008 As soon as I saw the BBZ1 Shad in my Bassin magazine, I said, that's going to be my first swimbait. Swimbaits are going to be my "project" for next season. Falcon Quote
-HAWK- Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 This bait looks amazing, I have been waiting for this bait to be released for awhile. Quote
tyrius. Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Tru-Tungsten for me Why does the Spro one seem to only have a spot for one treble hook? The removable weights on the Tru-Tungsten are a plus too. Also, I fish waters where the primary forage is not shad, but rather bass and bluegill. So the color selection is another plus for the Tru-Tungsten, at least for me. Quote
senko_77 Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 I haven't got to throw the 4" Tru-Tungsten, but I have a few of the Spro shads. They are so nasty in the water. I've caught a few with them, but I haven't really given them much time other than showing others how they swim. As the fall bite gets into full swing, this bait is really gonna produce. Quote
mayassa Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Looks like Late October and Free shipping http://www.jannsnetcraft.com/swimbait-lures/106533.aspx Quote
HopelesslyAddicted Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Sweet I'm glad they're coming out soon. What do you guys think about using the spro shad in waters that don't have shad? Something tells me that the swimming action will be so sweet that it won't matter, but maybe I should get a tru tungsten? Quote
GRIZZ Posted October 3, 2008 Author Posted October 3, 2008 Place an order today... Have a few places this swimbait should be outstanding... Falcon PM sent Quote
bigfruits Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 there is a video here that shows the bait's action. click on the video link by the bait's mouth http://www.***.com/descpage-SBZSFS.html Quote
Jake. Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Can you really call that a swimbait though? :-/ Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted October 5, 2008 Super User Posted October 5, 2008 Can you really call that a swimbait though? :-/ what else would you call it? i think this is actually a good example of a swimbait. multi jointed, very realistic, realistic swimming motion without a lip. thats pretty much what a swimbait is. there are some other so-called "swimbaits" on the market are questionable as to whether they really are swimbaits...... :-?

I know what you mean, but it just seems to small to be a swimbait to me. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted October 5, 2008 Super User Posted October 5, 2008 its not the traditional, california big-bait type swimbait, but it is certainly a swimbait. Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted October 6, 2008 Super User Posted October 6, 2008 It doesn't have to be huge to be a swimbait. Falcon Quote
Infidel. Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 thats pretty much what a swimbait is. Swimbait is too broad of a term to try to narrow it down and say what is and isn't. Everything from a 3.5" fish trap to a 10" AC Plug to a 12" Osprey are swimbaits. Hell people call a King Shad a swimbait and it is a jointed rip bait. Quote
mayassa Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Mine Shipped yesterday, just in time for this weekend! Quote
CFFF 1.5 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Mine is shipping today and will be here on the 22nd. Quote
utahbasser Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 i ordered a perch tru tungsten and a natural shad spro. the spro got here today and i can't wait to use it on sunday. i went to a pond to see the action and its crazy. i got a blue black herring spro instead of my perch tru tungsten so i either have to sell it or send it back. i'm not sure what i'm going to do yet. but i'm in the same boat. only a few lakes have shad and most have perch so the tru tungsten is good for color, but the spro is a better bait i beleive. its a great bait and i loved the tru tungsten until i saw this spro one today. its so realistic its rediculous!

mayassa Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 I got mine in the mail today! Very Nice I am hitting the river in the morning, will report out. Quote
sambrochill Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 does anyone know if Basspro will be carrying these baits? Quote
HopelesslyAddicted Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 does anyone know if Basspro will be carrying these baits? Probably eventually but you can get them at Tackle Warehouse right now. Anyone field test these things yet? Quote
