no offense rob, but its not like its a miracle and no one belived you. its like when people started throwing swimbaits for albacore, who in their right mind would think of throwing a "plastic" to a "tuna?" All the skippers I know have been using swimbaits for halibut and bass since they came out.
if i had some i'm sure i would use them, as would everybody else, i'm sure soon it'll become as standard as a plastic worm or spinner bait.
once again, i don't mean this in a bad way, i'm just saying. http://www.duhspot.com/users/smiley/s/otn/ez/ezpi_blueface.gif -leif- http://www.duhspot.com/users/smiley/s/otn/ez/ezpi_blueface.gif

in that case i totally agree with you, its definatly not on one's list of things to throw for bass, i know i probably never would have thought of it. have to admit, i'm sure you've boughten it to alot of people's attention (i'm sure that is grammatically correct). when can we expect belloni brand baits (BBBs hehe)...

Well, I just had to say this. The so-called swimbaits have been around a long long time, they have just change with new tech. I've caught LM bass at many lakes using the ol' sassy shad, if this qualifies as a "swimbait", starting around 1967. Don't get me wrong swimbait, you have what it takes to make it to the top, & I wish you great success. It's probably the "I told you so" statement that got my attention. It's not new & it's not a magic lure that you turned the bass pros on to. The next tournament will be won by throwing what?

I was beaten to the punch with the Mister Twister Sassy Shad reference, the first swimbait I threw, but the crossover from the salt to fresh throwing the Fish Traps, or the old Worm Kings, is a great topic for discussion. These baits have been catching calicos for years, and the relationship between a calico and a LMB has been way underrated for years! Tossing spinnerbaits, cranks, and creature baits for calicos and spots or throwing swimbaits for the fresh water bass, they are the same type of predator. The more info the better, lots of similarities, except for the current and stuff for the calicos, but I bet guys back east that fish bass in large rivers could give some good advice on calicos without ever seeing a checkerboard. Any thoughts?

Patience & luck are great to hold on to, but don't forget perserverance.That's why I'm a contractor now instead of a pro fisherman, or working in the fishing industry in some way. You know how it is, $$$$$$ talks. If you set your mind to succeed in something you love, you can do it if you perservere. Looking forward to seeing you holding the trophy over your head on stage. Oh, & we can't forget that big fat check in your hand too. Go get em' Brian.

I have been using them at irvine with great success over the past few years ( I think you were using concurrently at marg.) they sure eat the 4 and 5 inch ones well.
