I have a dobyns 867 champion with a Shimano Cardiff 400 so i should be able to throw almost anything. Also the lake I fish produces large fish on a river2sea s-waver but i'm looking for the absolute largest fish in the lake.

Both baits are a bit out of my price range but I'm considering making the purchase and I am curious to which one will produce the most bites?

The lake is full of structure and large weed beds. Has about 6 or 7 deep water points and a large ledge that follows the shore around most of the lake. The amount of grass in the lake makes it hard to fish a bait near the bottom without bringing a huge wad of grass in with the bait. Also the only forage in the lake for bass are Trout, Bluegill, and Salamanders. i have been catching numbers of of small fish on a jerkbait this year but even burning, directional changes, and erratic movement with swimbaits just isnt enough to entice a bite from any of the giants. Beginning to believe the big ones are just too smart to be caught.

I think that might be my problem, how would you go about fixing it?

Anyone have any trouble with Hudds swimming or leaning on its side?

What would you recommend as a bait for super skiddish fish?

Hi, I'm new to the forum and fairly new to swimbait fishing. I fish a small trout-stocked lake in eastern Kentucky that has produced several state record Largemouth Bass in Fish and Game samplings. I have caught a few fish in the 7-8 range during the spawn but have come up short when using a swimbait. Or anything else for that matter. Crystal clear water, depths of up to 90 feet, and only 32 acres. For the past 2 years I have had some followers on Hudds, BBZ'S, and Savage Gear's that push into the 11-15lb range but I've been unable to get a fish to commit. I've tried slow-rolling in deep water, top water, around structure and still haven't been able to entice a bite. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
