I'd have to go with a 6" Bullshad in Gizzard shad, I have caught more fish on that bait than any other swimbait, with the original 7" AC Plug coming in second.

Saw this on another forum, but it seems that another lost photo of the Perry World Record was found recently, and I believe the Creek Chub Wiggle Fish to be a swimbait so this is relevant

That was a fun video to watch, loved the edit not to mention the Pharoahe Monch beat at the end

Ive noticed that the Deps and 250ss has taken a lot of the luster of 3:16 baits the past year or so, that and other bait makers are doing a really good job coming up with new baits and way better pricing in my personal opinion. I can buy a Bullshad most of the time, or buy a MattLures Gill, or TyLures Trout etc. No waiting for hints on FB or whatever, you can buy one 3/4 the year or more. Trying to buy a 3:16 bait online is like winning a scratch off lottery ticket, its possible but not likely. Problem I have is you see new 3:16 baits on sale on here or ebay all the time. I understand friends etc get baits, hell if I made baits my friends would get the same treatment. Im just not going to pay scalper prices for an already slightly overpriced bait to begin with. I will say the freestyle changed the game though and his quality and materials are the best. Not hating, just an opinion.

He's going to let us use that as a drop off spot potentially he wants to wait until people have a home or place to put things in first, going to talk again Tuesday. I'm going to ask my buddy pro angler Nick Aber to hopefully donate a guide day or two. I'm just brainstorming, Academy gave a few spinning combos and a ton of plastics though.

Yeah, the amount of broken fishing poles/equipment I saw was amazing. Figured some of the baitmakers or some of the guys who literally spend thousands of dollars on swimbaits might want to help out. I already got a bunch of stuff from Academy and Lucky Lure off May so if nobody else is in to help, I got enough to make at least a few people happy.

Guess I'll take this as a No......

After having lived in OKC my whole life and watching the scene from just a few miles south of my house Monday, words can't truly describe what its like around here. The kids dying, the hundreds of houses destroyed etc. I was out there yesterday during the cleanup and the amount of broken fishing poles, boats and tackle boxes were astonishing. Lots of fisherman and women lived in Moore and now they have lost everything I was hoping maybe some of the bait makers or people with multiple baits, poles, etc would be willing to donate some baits or anything for an ebay auction or for distribution in OKC. I'm trying to put together something and was just curious maybe if anyone would want to help out and donate anything fishing related. If anyone would like to help out DM or post in this thread and I will respond ASAP. Thanks
