OK, I looked at the got' em section. So how does one arrive, 3:16 hard baits without paying those inflated prices on eBay?

What about Reaction Strike?

OK, I tooled up on soft baits, but now I need some hard baits. I want to start out like I did on the soft baits. That was buy a few at a time and see what works. But here the question, I would like to try a couple of the 3:16 baits, but their not available right now. So what is the next best choice?

Does anyone have any experience with top shelf swimbait?

I don't want spend the extra for no reason. I have a variety of rods, like Carrot Stiks, Kistler, G Loomis, Shimano and Falcon. I like them all for their purpose. What about the E21 Wild Black Carrot Stix Casting Rods 8'0" XXH? Again thanks this is a great site.

I throw mostly soft baits and a few 4" hard baits. The weight ranges for 3/4oz to about 3oz. I have some Spro, Tru-tungsten, Castaic, Huddleston, Osprey, Top Shelf Tackle, Yum and Strike King. I have tried to acquire a variety, while figuring out what works best for the lakes I fish. Thanks for the info so far

200 to 300 hundred would be manageable, but I saw were they come in a 8' 6" model. That being said I fish mainly Cumaras and Loomis, so custom is probably the way to go.

I'm new to swimbait fishing sort of. I have fished all my life, freshwater and salt. I mainly fish for bass, I have the bass boat, tackle and lure addiction. I have been fishing the standard hollow body swimbaits for a long time with success, but now I want to step up to the big boy swimbaits. The first question of probably many to come is would the new St Croix Mojo Musky rods be a good place to start? I have a curado 300 to put on it.
