Super User Dan: Posted December 14, 2008 Super User Posted December 14, 2008 "This is why many bass fishers swear by swimbaits, while others have been unwilling to move away from the lures that have given them success in the past." lmao Quote
Super User flechero Posted December 14, 2008 Super User Posted December 14, 2008 I loved the pic of the dink with a rattle trap "diving for the lure" ;D Did you notice that he quoted a couple local sources? Quote

toolpush Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 I'll no longer have to pay big$$$$ for swimbaits any more all of my tackle are swimbaits. ;D Quote

BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted December 15, 2008 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted December 15, 2008 I can't wait to try that nose weighted flapin tail worm swimbait for the first time... Quote
DADto4 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 I'll no longer have to pay big$$$$ for swimbaits any more all of my tackle are swimbaits. ;D Nor do you have to use that 7' plus heavy rod for your "tube" swimbait, any ordinary rod will work Quote

SimonSays Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 I think I've actually become a worse fisherman by reading that : fail Quote
mattm Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Wow. There is too much gold there to even make an effective smart arse comment . Quote

Maybe fishing really is that simple we just overthink it and make it difficult. ;D See still plenty of smart--- remarks to be made. ;D Quote
Tokyo Tony Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 "The basic technique for using swimbaits is to cast you line as long as possible and reel it in as slowly as possible to create more lifelike movements. It's also important to use a large diameter line, since thinner lines tend to sink too quickly." Cast me line as long as possible. Check. Don't use 6 lb test because it sinks too quickly. Check. What the crap kind of person is this? I don't know why, but I'm kinda p'd off after reading that. Yes, like most of you, I had to keep reading until the end. I guess I'm grumpy because it's past my bed time. Quote
