I don't meet the other AC baits, I'm talking specifically about the Casitas trout. Almost no reviews or availability online. I've found a couple locally. Gonna give them a whack. If all else fails, they can serve as collectors items. LOL!

They seem to be pretty rare though? I can't seem to find any info about them online?!

Just wondering if anyone owns or has fished the AC Plugs Casitas swimbaits? Impressions?

So… I’ve decided to spool up with Sunline’s FX2 braid in 50lb and in their dark green/blue colour. I scheme it’ll be the better all-rounder for topwaters like the rat, and when I throw sinking baits I’ll double-albright a 6’ InvizX leader on. Will give some feedback after fishing it for a while.

Good to hear Alex! Gonna be testing mine out soon...

Top end braids and fluoros are rather pricey. Out of my league to just experiment with I'm afraid.

I’ve got a bit of a problem deciding what line to spool on my Abu Garcia Revo Toro Winch 50. I’m going to use the same reel for swimbaits and rats. I’ve been told 20lb flouro is the way to go for the swimbaits, and 50lb braid or 18lb mono for the rats. What do I do?

Gonna be fishing one of these soon and I’m keen to hear opinions from anyone who’s fished the Revo Toro Winch. They were released a few years ago, but still look pretty legit to use for swimbaiting. 4.6:1 gear ratio, 22†of line retrieve per turn and a max drag of 22lbs. Any thoughts.

Not sure if you guys get the Daiwa Proteus Millionaire 300 reels in the USA, but I can pick one up for the equivalent of $50. Any opinions on these reels? I’m just a bit apprehensive about the small looking grips. Here are some specs on them: Centrifugal brake system; Worm gear level wind; Machined aluminium spool; Infinite Anti-Reverse; Selectable spool click; Ratio: 5.1:1; Weight: 11.8oz; Ball Bearings: 2+1RB; Capacity: 190yards/20lb

Y'all forget about the BBZ-1 Rat 50?

Anybody seen this footage of the new SPRO BBZ-1 Rats in 30 and 40 size that are due for launch at ICAST this year? Any thoughts? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfSfT75CTIY&feature=youtu.be

Definitely in the 7lbs range. Well done!

Being new to swimbait fishing too, I'm struggling to understand the concept of "Let the fish tell you how they want it." I've been fishing our local tournament trail successfully for a while, and I've been bass fishing recreationally for over 20 years, and I fully understand the concept when fishing for 10 or 30 bites in a day. But from what I've read regarding swimbait fishing, you're maybe expecting 1 or 2 bites the whole day. So how do the fish tell you what they want? How do you put a "pattern" together? How do you decide which bait to throw when?

I was seriously considering the Okuma Guide Select. Unfortunately not available here
