I throw the Reaction Innovation Skinny Dippers, primarily in White Trash, or Pearl Blue. I play with the sizes a bit, may have all 5 inch size, or just the trail arm and then have smaller skinny dippers to the side. Depends on what the bites I am getting. I typically add some chart dye to the trail dippers to give something for them to lock on to with the motion. I have had good luck with the Yum and Basstrix as well, but find them trickier to rig so they run perfectly. To me the water clarity and if I need spinners and how heavy of a jig head is a key point in the bait size.

Im not a huge A rig guy but when i do throw it I have either a Keitech 3.8 or a Missile baits Shockwave on it.
Thanks guys. Just looking for some ideas as I think the swimbaits I have been using are too stiff.

I use exclusively Keitechs and usually the 3.8 size. In CA we can only have 3 hooks to for the top two, I rig the skinny Keitech or Skinny Dippers usually in a different color. The main baits with hooks are white, pearl, or morning dawn.

I like Keitech Easy Shiners myself, Smallmouth Magic or Ayu. We can have 3 hooks so its usually usually a couple of 3.5 or 4's and a single 4.5 or 5. I've been mixing in the Bass Assassin Elite Shiners in there because they're basically the same bait but more durable. Only come in 4" though.
Been wanting to try all lipless on a A rig.
