CarolinaBoy4life Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Since I've gotten into swimbait's a little over a year ago I've been drawn more and more to throwing big bait's only. Every now and then I'll throw a TX rig or a jig but not nearly as much as I once did. I know some who throw just big bait's only and have moved away from conventional rig's or fishing methods... How many of you throw just big baits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbass Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I am big baits 97% and worm or spinnerbait 3% to give my back a rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derds126 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Depends on the day but usually I'll have a fair mix. Every bait is a tool and sometimes a swimbait isn't the right tool in that situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmayer88 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Haven't used conventional gear in about 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightsessions Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Usually swimbaits because I have the most fun with them, also like throwing a frog in the summer though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everythingthatswims Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 When I fish by myself I throw swimbaits usually, but I will work a piece of cover with a swimbait before we fish it with t-rigs n'stuff when I fish with my brothers or my "fishing friend" (there is only one kid out of 2000 students at my school who has a clue how to bass fish, so I have one friend to fish with ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parkermann Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I swimbait for stripers mainly. But I fish for pretty much every species so I don't just throw big baits. But when I am throwing big baits I dont throw anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradycodd Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 90% swim baits, 10% frogs, sold all my conventional stuff when i got bit by the swimbait bug. Too much fun to put down even when you're not catching em. If I do happen to fish a jig or a crank, it'll still be the biggest ones on the market. Just hard not to think BIG!

evilcatfish Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I love swimbaits and I use them most often but I do have a special place in my heart for fishing frogs. Also really enjoy fishing beavers, biffle bugs, other creatures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoots21 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 This was my first year fishing swimbaits it started out with using a wacky worm and occasionally tossing my new slammer and bbz. Then slowly came the addiction and slowly went away the conventional gear now im 100 percent swimbaits. I dont think I could ever go back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace D Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 The only bait that I feel like can compete with a large swimbait when the big fish are biting is an A-rig. So those two get fished a lot. If I'm not fishing one of those then I'm fishing a 3/4 oz jig. That's pretty much it, I keep it pretty simple.
