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


I've used swimbaits for quite a while in natural lakes. I've used them in
rivers as well, not finding any difference between the two water types, I've
been successful in both for a variety of species, largemouth, smallmouth,
northern pike, walleyes and muskies.

What has amazed me is the number of bass that I've caught using what is
considered to be a "muskie bait!"

Last summer I did some field testing for a relatively new company based in
Minnesota called Tackle Industries (http://www.tackleindustries.com). He
sent me the 5 and 8 oz. Super D lures, both based on a muskie lure called
the BullDawg. I caught smallmouth and largemouth both, as well as a couple
big walleye on the 5 oz. Super D in the RSD-12 color, kind of a
firetiger/perch color.

James has expanded his product line and is now manufacturing the 8" Nibbler
swimbait in a wide variety of colors so I put in an order for some of those
as well as the 8.5" Dingo.

I cannot wait for open water to come! If I can afford it, I might just have
to take a roadtrip to open water to try these new baits out.



FL, just sayin, ya know?
