    I used to throw only bapes.. I have tried that for about 4 yrs. I have found it only inhibits my catch rate of big fish. Popped swimbait fish all morning a few weeks ago then my boy switched to a wacky 5" senko and popped a 9. 2nd cast. The way you approach swimbait fishing is the same with any other bait IMO. targeting big fish isnt about throwing the biggest bait if that isnt what will be most effective for the current conditions. last week I had a 5" senko on a spinning rod, a frog and a 12" glide bait on the boat and thats it. Caught good fish on all three.

     

    Good point, Ceaser. There certainly aren't many absolutes in fishing, swimbaiting included. Just because I find that I have a tough time transitioning from one discipline to another doesn't mean others will have the same issues.

    Interesting to read how the dynamic of big baiting has changed, with guys throwing traditional gear/ baits along side the swimmers. IMO, its either one or the other. Hard to properly approach fishing swimbaits and senkos at the same time, as fishing the swimmers takes such a different mindset, where the objective is trophy/ big fish and the bait size acts to filter the average fish out. I know some of you delta rats will die before giving up the frog, though.

     

    Above all else I enjoy catching fish, so I also fish traditional baits once in a blue moon when the big bait grind puts me in a slump. However, I never combine the two disciplines.

     

    Back on topic: I generally bring several swimbait setups when fishing big baits. Each geared towards the baits I intend to use on each particular body of water.

    Traded baits with Vikingbear8 a few weeks back and the transaction was great. The bait was as promised, shipping prompt and packaging superb.

     

    Would not hesitate to deal with again.

    Gen II SS Hardgill with the front treble wrapped in solder to increase the front end weight bias was money for me up until I lost my gill....seems like it gets the front of the bait to wander less and keeps the tail action fluid. Also seems to keep the bait from rolling when you snap a direction change. Wish I had more gills. As I said, they are fish catchers.

    Moral of the story kids...If you want to fish, keep your pecker wrapped or in your pants.

     

    That is today's PSA. :lol:

     

    This was the #1 advice you gave me when I went away to school, and I'm glad that so far I held true to it. :lol:

     

     

    I dont make this ish up. I speak the truth. ;):lol:

     

    You'll likely only be in college surrounded by coeds once. IMO, you'd be a fool not to take advantage of the resources at your disposal.

     

    Once you're out of uni, employed(hopefully) and making a living, there will be plenty of opportunities to fish and buy whatever you want.
