Swimbaits (in the Southeast)

Is anyone in the southeast (particularly Ga) using swimbaits? I'd appreciate
any tips you can give on the technique and the bait. I've got a few that I
plan on using next year (in two weeks actually). At this point my
knowledge/technique is limited to toss it out and wind it back (which I will
do slowly). I bought some from a dealer out west that come pretty close to
matching local shad and other bait fish, but I do not plan on spending +$50
for hard bodied jointed baits. Anyway, I need some help and thanks in
advance to those who not only can help but are willing to do so.
