Great site you guys have here. I heard your name in the tournament scene Rob (swimbait) and look forward to having the privilege to compete with you one day. Once again, great site, knowledgeable members and cool atmosphere. I look forward to being more active on this site.

I've been bass fishing almost a year now and absolutely love it; love it so much that I haven't returned to the salt close to a year now.

With the swimbait season coming up and local team tournaments in full swing, If you have a moment please advise me on swimbaits I should purchase to complete my arsenal. I mainly fish (tournament lakes) at Castaic, DVL and Casitas but will fish the FLW National Guards Series as an AM at the Delta, Lake Mead, Columbia River and Shasta.

I plan to purchase the following (if you think I should'nt purchase any baits below, please feel free to explain why. Thanks).

-7" Triple Trout (Solid White)
-6" Lunker Punker: I love the action on the 9" but think there is a time and place for the 6" model.
-2X 3:16 1UP (will receive shortly).
-3:16 Armageddon
-Rago Baby Tool
-Hot Mama (CA Swimbabes)
-6" Huddleston
-Huddleston Shads
-More (as many as possible) 4,5,6" Bass Trix in Hologram Shad.

*I guess I need some bluegill swimbaits, but I can put that on hold until the summer. (Matt Lures and Shell Cracker).
