Hi SBU, Looking for advice from the experts on here. I've been fishing swimbaits almost exclusively for about a year and a half in the central TX area. For the most part my favorite baits are the G2 shellcracker, deps 175, TK, citizen 6, and a couple of rats. My best fish thus far throwing these was a 25.5" 6.5lber. I do also have a deps 250 and WCZ tyrant (floater mode) and some citizen 7's. Now, I have caught quite the number of 5-6.5 lb fish on the aforementioned baits, but nothing on the 250, tyrant or citizen 7 yet (just follows). Should I put down the smaller baits and just fish my bigger stuff for a long time to break into a new class of fish? Anyone had a similar experience and then had a light bulb go off and started catching bigger fish with the smaller swimbaits? I've read some stuff where for example someone would just only fish the 250 for a year, or the ghost etc etc. P.S. I fish almost primarily from a pedal kayak. Any advice is welcomed :). Tight lines.

Hey Swmb8ers, I just received a flee shad blank I'm looking to paint with krylon fusion spray paint and trying to figure out what I'm going to use for the clear coat. I've seen some people say different spray aerosol cans as well as Alumi UV or KBS and dipping. If the bait is already put together is it fine to dip or would this create some mobility issues with dried epoxy on the joints? Wasn't sure if I should look into spraying or painting the clear coat with a brush if dipping is out of the question. Would love to hear about your personal experience in this area. Thanks!
