Anyone here use swimbaits? I'm thinking about buying a couple, not sure
how well they work in *natural lakes, I live in Michigan.


Been using swimbaits since early '70s when they were called sal****er
baits here on the west coast. Didn't have the selection like now, not
many people used them for L/M bass then either. Not my favorite way to
bass fish, like deep diving baits on the foothill lakes and pitching
and flipping plastics on the delta. Swimbaits are better when DFG is
stocking trout during the cool fall/winter months and the bass are
suspended waiting for the stockers to swim by. Most of our lakes are
man made deep canyon type over 200 feet deep when at full pool and
25/30 miles long. If looking to buy S/Bs go to SwimbaitNation.com
They have a good selection of baits and how to use them. Good luck and
good bassin'..
