    Tru-Tungsten or BBZ 4 inch Swimbait

    I was wondering if you guys had any opinions on the 4 inch swimbaits offered by BBz and Tru-tungsten. they both look like good swimbaits and they are both the same price(20$). the only pros and cons ive came up with is the Tru-tungsten you get two different sink rates with one lure and a con for the BBZ is the soft tail, which i have heard flies off sometimes. Please if you have fished either tell me what you like and don't like about them.

    I've got both, threw the BBZ a little bit, got the TruLife for Xmas so I haven't thrown it yet. My only comment is about the size... the TruLife is really kind of tiny, it's probably about the size of a lipless crankbait, maybe a bit smaller. Also, the hooks are pretty small on it.

    Im a BIG fan of the original larger Bluegill swim by TT and I cant wait to use the smaller ones as I think those will catch some really nice fish in clear water here that I fish. the TT ones are nicce since you can change the rate of fall with just inserting a ball or 2. The hooks do seem a tad small, but thats maybe to balance the weight out so it can still float.

    I found it interesting how although both brands are 4", the TT have a MUCH smaller profile. I have used the Spro in the water but not the TT yet. The Spro looks absolutely amazing in the water. I wish I had gotten the fast sink though.

    The spro has a single treble hook(could be an issue) but looking at both 1st hand, I plan on getting the spro. The tt just didn't "look" good. No idea on action of either other than seeing videos.

    I want the floating version and bps isnt carrying it.

    SPRO is te way to go. Just an awesome bait. You can change its sink like any other bait with sticky weights.
    Underhand roll cast it and you are good. I know about the Tail story and I wouldnt put too much stock in it.
    The Spro will do a 180 on a snap and the single hook is FINE I never catch em on the back hook of a trap anyway. Also the fish SLAM IT so you dont need a bunch.
