Hi Mike, I got your private message! here I am First of all very congrats for the marriage and the italian trip, I hope you will have nice days in our country! I’m in the north west of the country, near Milan… i dont know many shop in Florence - Rome o Venice. And I’m sorry, but we in italy don’t buy swimbait handmade in the shop, we dont't find them in the shops, we are lucky If we can find the commercial ones… for the homemade lures the situation is very "UNDERGROUND". Swimbait fishing is not a lot difuse, we are very less people that do that! Proglure (Luca) is a friend of mine, now I call him to take a look on this topic! So You can buy, on our shops, commercial swimbait like deps or jackall/illex etc... at a very good (EU) price. I had ask some friends on centre-italy some fishingshop's adresses on Rome and Florence, i'll let you knw as soon as possible!!! regards sandro

Thank you all! @ACE OF BASS me too love the yellow ones!

Hi guys, I'm Sandro from italy and this is my first post on the forum... sorry for my excitement swimbaiting is my dope!!! I want show you up my new pb. I can't able to breath yet... one day of calm, hitten by the sun, no fishes around, suddenly I do just in time to see she's coming, like a bullet and the the water explodes on my muscle-rat burned as fast as possible. I feel the wheight on the line and BOOOOM. I cant belive she's 23" (58cm). I don't know the weight I let my scale home. F**K!!! that's all, bye Sandro

tanks a lot for the answer, you had a good intuition, and this paid!!!

Big up man!!! nice catch, have you an idea about why she bite on the glide instead of the hudd ? what's different? sandro

@lunkerturner

super super catch, beautifull donky the superfreak is in original 11" ... with the extra paddle became a monster, get your FREAK out (cit . Missy Eliot) don't leave 'em in the tackleboxes!!!!

...and the pike!

lucky Walleye

About friends that lost some stuff here are my two cents. One time my friend lost his rod from the boat... we saw it sinking to the lake bottom, belive me I made just two cast and fish the rod. So keeping the rod in my hand I said my bro "the reel is full of water i will cast to put away the water and dry it" one cast and i land on boat 10lb pike!!!! Second story, my bro lost his rapala fat rap escaping from the snap so I put on my line a clankin rap 1 oz lipless in order to catch it casting... just a few cast and I hooked a beautifull 9lb walleye... unbelivable!!!

Yes! Than I call the police they close the whole area and the street near the river till the bombsquad arrive... I live in italy after the end of world war 2 a lot of arms and weapons were thrown into rivers, so sometimes it happens to fish them!

hi guys, i fished a mk2 practice, dragging the river bottom with a soft swimbait!!! I was reeling my lure, I felt a weight, then I raised the rod and it fell on the shore, the noise metalheavy froze my blood quick
