Jut Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 You always see posts about losing a bait and how you got a lost bait back. I think we all lost baits and tried every thing we could to get them back. How many of you ever found a swimbait in a tree, or when the lake got drained down. Did you ever get a bait back after a long time? The only baits i ever found was some crankbaits and alot of soft plastics. The only swimbait i ever found was a storm kickin stick.

vikingbear8 Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I found a 8" Hudd stuck in a tree about 2 feet under water once. Turns out it was my buddy's who was in the boat with me (he and I are the only guys that throw swimbaits around here) but because it was already lost to him and I didnt have one at the time he told me to keep it. Other than that I find a ton of traditional gear, I have a 8" freestyle I lost a while back that I have tried to find a couple times, not given up yet though.

evilcatfish Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I've never really found any bait that was in condition, much less any swimbait. I'm hoping to "find" one of my Baby Possums once the leaves fall haha. Not to mention the 7" TT I lost the other day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elnicko Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I've found a couple salmon spinners, kwikfish, jointed rebels, a couple frogs and an A Rig. Only swimbait was a Storm wildeye trout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jut Posted September 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Not to many people chuck swimbaits around here either. Like i said before i found a lot of terminal tackle and crank baits. I caught a boot,dog collar,plastic bags,sandal,old rod and reel,and the worst was a rotten animal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aasenke Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Not to many people chuck swimbaits around here either. Like i said before i found a lot of terminal tackle and crank baits. I caught a boot,dog collar,plastic bags,sandal,old rod and reel,and the worst was a rotten animal. I've found a few cranks that were in pretty good condition. The two most interesting things that I have caught were a 10 lb anchor in my home lake in MI and a 15lb anchor in the WI river. I use both anchors in my canoe! Never had to buy anchors!
