Super User 5bass Posted July 8, 2009 Super User Posted July 8, 2009 Anybody used these yet? They look pretty good. How much are they in the Academy stores? Quote
jimmieO Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 I bought a pack of 4 of the hollow bodied swimbaits for less than 5 bucks. I think the action is pretty good. The first couple, I used this trick I read somewhere about trimming the underside of the tail to give it a more realistic action, but then I found out that you don't really need to. Good bait, good deal I think. Quote
Super User 5bass Posted July 8, 2009 Author Super User Posted July 8, 2009 I'm talking about are the hard body, jointed swimbaits. I dont think they've been out very long but i could be wrong about that. Quote
bigtimfish Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 I started a thread about this about a week agao. All in all I think they are awesome. I have some, but I have not really had the chance to go fish one of my two fishing lakes. Rayburn or T-bend. But I did try them in a pond that has HEAVY fishing pressure. No takers but the action on them is killer. The 3.5 inch is $7.99 and the 4.5 inch is $8.99. I personally liked them so much, I am going to get every color in both sizes. I did not even think, that is the 3.5" tied on my revo on my picture on the left side of the screen. Quote

Okieracer Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1245180314/1#1 That's the thread I started over 3 weeks ago about them. They have a great swimming action and preform well. Sinks about a foot a sec best I can guess. I like that when you stop reeling them in they have a weighted head so they swim down and towards you.

foul hooked Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 I bought a couple of the small ones for $7.95. Fished with them briefly. I caught a 4# on the ghost shad color, completely choked it. Quote

bigtimfish Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 First of all Nitro you need to ease up. We all know about swimbaits on here. Take your time when posting, use some correct punctuation and spelling. FBL was asking about a certain type of swimbait, not just swimbaits in general. I think you just misunderstood what was asked. Calm down, read carefully, then post. Quote

Whadda they look like? Dude, we all know about swimbaits (you'd have to live pretty far off the fishing grid to be unaware of swimbaits), the topic at hand is just a specific kind or brand of swimbait that is new. Quote
Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted July 9, 2009 Super User Posted July 9, 2009 Play nice you guys Too bad I don't have Academy anywhere around here.Never even heard of it until I joined this board. Those baits look good along with a few other that people have posted here. Quote

Super User 5bass Posted July 10, 2009 Author Super User Posted July 10, 2009 Yeah, take it easy on Nitro929 fellas, he's just trying to help. Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted July 10, 2009 Super User Posted July 10, 2009 I actually have one on the way from m and m fishing, should be here soon Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted July 10, 2009 Super User Posted July 10, 2009 these H2O swimbaits look worth checking out. if i had an academy around, i'd definitley buy one! Quote
Steven Ladner Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 I actually have one on the way from m and m fishing, should be here soon Should be there tomorrow I haven't had a chance to fish with their swimbaits yet, but they look great Quote
Super User Dan: Posted July 11, 2009 Super User Posted July 11, 2009 They definitely look pretty nice. Quote
slider head Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 I dont know about the swimbaits but I have some of the crankbaits. I really like the look and action of these baits. Price cannot be beat at under 4$. Sucess with them so far has been so so. If interested.....let me know I have a connection at a store Quote
bigtimfish Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 They definitely look pretty nice. I own a couple of them and have not had the chance to really fish them though. I am new to hard swimbaits. My concern for these is the rear hook. It is in the fin. IMO it just looks like a weak spot that would snap off if hooked into a good one. Like I said I am new to hard swimbaits, there may be a bunch of them with the hook in the same spot. But these baits swim awesome. I am putting them to the test on saturday. Quote
BlakeMolone Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 I got a few 3.5 inch swimbaits and there are awesome!! The joints wiggle on the fall and they have really nice action. Im deffiently going to buy more. Its to bad they dont make a 6 or 8 inch one. Quote
