Swim baits for smallies

[Gorgebassman]

I have been fishing some swim baits for smallies here on the river and not had a bit of luck catching them on them. But yet I can turn around and throw a jig or a crank and catch fish have any of you guys had the same kind of luck. What type of swim bait are you catching smallies succesfully on?

6" Huddleston, 3:16 Wake Jr, Mattlures Hardgill, and big walking baits.

Its a small swimbait by those standards, but the Roboworm EZ Shad.

I've had some success with a 4 1/2" Bass Magic soft swimbait.

I have had good luck on the 5" and 6" Basstrix Paddle Tail Swimbaits. Also on the Sebile Magic Swimmers in the 125 size.

Peral white Zoom swimming fluke or a RI skinny dipper.

Cool looking bait - are you throwing these on a jig head or a swimbait hook?

A Berkley Hollow Belly Swimbait (5 inch) on a 1/2 jig head was easily my best Fall bait last season ~ right into November in fact.

If your fishing in the Great Lakes system check out these goby swimbaits from TYLURE. Haven't tried one yet, but they look pretty cool. http://independenttackle.com/tylure-kicker-goby-swimbait.html

a cheap one that works good for me on shallow river smallies is the storm wild eye shad soft swimbait in 1/4oz (3.5in?)

the 95 magic swimmer in white lady is one of my favorites.

From this morning. Another vote for the wild eye swim shad by Storm.

I don't have much luck with swim baits for smallies in the rivers I fish, although the Swim Senkos have worked to a small degree.  Maybe swimbait success for smallies is a lake thing?
