Shane Snell Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 So, I found 7 of these Savage Gear carp line through, in a unopened box, in my garage. Apparently I got this package 2 yrs ago! (My teenage just chucked it in the garage) I honestly forgot about it. Anyway, decided to go back to my swimbaiting roots and, rig one up. The line through trout was the first swimbait I ever purchased. The body of water I was fishing was chocolate milk and only 1-3 inches of viz. Got some debris on the head of the bait during the retrieval. Popped the rod tip up to shake the debris loose. Saw my bait pop up to just under the surface, for a split second. Then I saw the ENTIRE fish swoop in an swallow it. It was honestly, one of the coolest looking eats, I’ve ever had. Not a stud fish, not a perfect retrieve, not the perfect cast. It was just a cool eat. Just a little reminder that you don’t always have to be perfect with a swimbait. Don’t always have to be throwing a bait that is expensive. Haven’t thrown one of these in over 5 yrs. It was just….cool. Just thought I’d share. Cool bites are why I started throwing schwimbaits to start with.
