Jackall Giron's

Anyone using these with any success? Looking to get some feedback. I know half the swimbait market is just good looking baits that fall flat on their face in the real world. So...anyone?

I have one but do not use it that often. I honestly don't like the action. Just my opinion, but they're are better swimbaits for the same price. I HAVE caught fish on it tho.

Save a little more money and buy a Mattlures hard gill.  The Giron is a good bait but it has such an aggressive action to it that I find it only does well when the fish are actively feeding.  Other wise they just don't seem to want to chase down a lure that's darting side to side so quickly.  Also if you reel to quickly it will roll over.  Once again I would just save up a little more & buy a hard gill.

I agree with what has been posted. It is a beautiful bait but the action isn't that great. It tends to roll over pretty easily. It works ok if you twitch it and dead stick it. So yes, I have caught fish on it but it's not the greatest small swimbait.

I torch bass on the Giron at my local lake. I like to turn the handle 2-3 cranks and stop the bait. Imagine it as a rip bait but you reel instead of twitch. They tend to eat it just like a rip bait. It sinks pretty slow and almost suspends around 10-15 feet or so.

The best thing about this bait is that it sinks horzontally and will rest on its hooks when it reached bottom.

Not a big fan of it at all. In fact I will be putting one on the flea market in a few days as soon as I get a set of hooks. I am out of no 2's. Bait is brand new but the hook barbs got a little rust from sitting in my box. Just figured I'd throw that out there for anyone looking.

Micro, that is why I like to use it for bed fishing. I bought it for just that characteristic. Usually I am pitching or flipping with it.

Thanks for the reply's so far. I think I'd be better off just using the Spro BBZ. I like the Matt Lures stuff but looking for something in the 4" size.
