    Swimbait Recommendation

    What are some good recommendations for hard body swimbaits? Particularly on offshore/ledge fishing; I really enjoy fishing deep and wanted to know some ideas of some bigger, hard body swimbaits you all have had some luck on. I know the Bull Shad is probably a good one but are there any others you all have had success on? Thanks in advance.

    Unless you are fishing some clean bottoms you might lose a few.

    I would look at the fast sinking versions of what you like brand wise.

    I would start with 1 Gancraft Jointed Claw 178 and 1 Deps Slide Swimmer 175.

    Use these to find out if it is for you because if it is…you’re going to be spending ALOT of money

    DRT Tiny Klash if you can find it.Ledge fishing I’d go soft Hudd.68 or Bucca burrito
    I,d rather be tried by 12 than be carried by 6

    Thread a drop shot weight on the front split ring of any hard swimbait if you want it to sink and get down deep

    Thanks for the input! I've had a ton of success with soft body/hollow belly swimbaits on deep fish and wanted to try some of the hard body fast sinking models. It's a pricey game to play for sure.
