I have fished for bass for a long, long time. Fished tourneys for many years, got bored with that. So swimbaits were something new for me to learn and a way to up my game. Problem has been one of time. I have many interests in fishing besides bass; sturgeon, big trout, salmon. And my dad fishes with me most of the time, so the time I have available to dedicate to swimbaits has been somewhat limited.
