Just wondreing what the best sinking wood trout bait is. New to swimbaits and want to try one.

real wood or hardbait material?

Best hard trout bait wood or plastic. Like the tool or raptor not soft like the huddleston

With out a doubt it would be the Castaic T29's. They are awsome!
Ok Ok Dont have a heart attack that way my atempt at humor.
The original Castaics are arguably the best but youl have to spend a few $100 for one if you can even find one. Slammers are known for their night time and dirty water succes. 3:16 makes a couple very nice hardbaits but they mainly catch good fish, I have only heard of a couple big fish caught on them. Rago is probably the best current hardbait maker. His newer modles are very realistic and catch fish, Big fish. His older modles dont look as good as the new ones but they are proven big bass catchers. There have been many attempts by companies to make good big baits but they usualy come up short. I would stick to the proven ones. Original Castaics, Rago's and Slammers.

The 3:16 Wake bait, Wake bait Jr. and baby bass all produce good fish for me. I have caught some DD fish on the 3:16 Wake bait and its worth the money. The Baby Bass has caught me a ton of quality fish as well and almost one DD...

sinking? then you answered your own question 6", 8", 10" Rago Raptor and 8" & 13" Rago Tool, they all sink to the depth you want and swim as they go.
