    Swim bait ?

    What soft swim bait ya'll use. I've been using LFT Live Magic Shad with some success, but I'm curious what everybody else uses.

    Re: Swim bait ? (Alan S)

    to be honest alan i have never tied one on. i have been very sceptical about them. i have been watching some video on them and seem to be very sucessful. i dont own any yet just because i dont know what to buy for the water i fish . maybe i can learn sumtin off this thread

    I like the money minnow. The one that looks lime the sexy Shad. I hook it through the head only. It gives it alot of action at slow retrievel.

    Re: Swim bait ? (RogerR)

    Ive tryed some Shadaliciuos , but not very much time with one !!!!!!! I do remember that I like the swimbaits with a hollow body because there easier to get straight on the hook so that they swim straight !!!!!!!!

    I like the hollow bodies like the Shadalicious...caught some good fish on them though I haven't fished them a whole lot. I like slow rolling them through grass or pads...

    I like the Lake Fork Magic Shad threaded on a white head 3/8 oz. original Chatterbait with no skirt. Awesome bait with a lot of flash and action.

    wouldn't call it a true swimbait, but the Reaction Innovation Skinny Dipper is awesome. Can be fished many different ways

    I have tried them all. All of the ones mentioned above work good but none of them swim like a Basstrix. A lot of companies have tried to copy them but the original is still the best.
