Swim Baits
Any swim baiters here?? Just curious what your favorite brand was, and what
rod / reel combo you prefer. For me, chasing bass, I use a 7' MH action
baitcasting combo (Shimano Curado), with 30lb PP and a 2' 15lb Fluoro
leader.Chris |

| I (quietly) did very well with the bagged Storm 3" shad swimbaits late last
summer. Bass really slam them. Warren |

| 30# PP (Power Pro) is about 8-10# mono diameter. Throwing a big swimbait
requires a decent size leader. Swimbaits are heavy baits. |

| I use swimbaits often in the delta and the lakes and use a Lamiglas
flippin' stick, 7'6" heavy, Spidercast SCL 700 reel, with 65# PowerPro.
I like the Osprey swim baits mostly but use others also, the weights
from 1oz to 2 1/2 oz and from 6" to 12". The delta is a maze of weeds
and tullies (cattails) and a big bass or striper get in there you need
muscle and a strong rig to pull them out. I've broken 20# big game mono
in there. Other then swimbaits I use 10/12# test on my other baits. I've
gotten stripers over 30# on this rig and its a fight all the way to the
boat, and not for wimpy rigs. Good luck and its a blast.. sket |

| Thanks for the input Sket. Sounds like a Blast. I grew up in San
Diego, and would love to get back and give some of my old home lakes a
run (El Capitan, Otay, Mirimar, etc). I probably won't be throwing 12"
swim baits here, but 6" is definitely not out of the question. I have
some 3" & 4" so far, and if I can find some decent 6" baits (Probably in
the Northern, Musky section) I will have some of them as well. Thanks again, Chris |
