backed into a tree whilst ridin inna park then wrote: "BIG FISH 2006" wrote in message ... 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? |
