Tru-Tungsten 4" Swimbait Help!

[WashDCIrish]

So I closed took the plungew and spent the 20 on this supposed "wonderlure" and I havent gotten ANY results on this thing.  I have it in the sexy shad-ish color and I've tried fast retirving it so it wakes, I've tried giving it a couple seconds so it can sink, but more often than not, if I look at a trunk too hard, it snags it.  Anyone out there have this swimbait and have any tried and true methods of coaxing the bite with it?  Am i fishing it in too shallow water?

Should have got the Spro BBZ-1 Shad man! Way better action imo.

Wow... whoever told you it was a "Wonder Lure" was a lying sack of cr!p. Well think of it this way, you just invested in a $20 keychain with hooks ;D

I'm not a swimbait expert but I have purchased the Spro BBZ-1's and well as a tru-tungsten and thrown them quite a bit as I try to build my confidence. The tru-tungsten after a few casts retreiving it over some structure the tail and fins had chipped. I was much more pleased with the BBZ-1 and have been successful with it. They didn't name their blue gill "Killer Gill" for no reason. As I am gaining confidence now with swimbaits I'm leaning towards picking up a bluegill and crappie from Mattlures.

A friend gave me the 4" tungsten swimbait as a gift the other day.  I used it last Thursday night in a tournament and this is what happened.

6:00pm- Take off.

6:10pm- pull up to my spot and cut the motor.

6:11pm- grab swimbait rod and make first cast of the day.

6:11pm and 20 seconds- BAM, 2 pounder in the live well.

I put both weights in the bait.  Killer swimming action but doesn't sink very well upon retrieval.

I too got the tru tungsten and have yet to even get a follow. I love the action but no fish means it will no longer stay in tackle box. Will still keep trying though.
