csparrow12 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 savage gear 3D shine glide is a good confidence builder, but I've actually caught most of my swimbait fish on a deps 250. sbr12x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlemmo Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 the MB islide135b or jackall gantarel is within reach for the average swimbaiter i believe... it might help you regain that initial confidence if you cast it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakevlastnik Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 All you need is a 8 inch hudd, a triple trout and a punker. Top three confidence baits for me nwkurt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc626 Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 I would say basic but still advanced baits like 8" Hudds in the Rainbow Trout pattern specifically. The 9" MS Slammer in Light Rainbow Trout, and one of my new favorites is the river 2 sea S waver(the size and color I'm keeping a secret for now). Those are all baits that you can slow roll and get a good look at to give you confidence to buy more swimmers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thastickybandit Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 I can't get a fish to eat a punker lately even if I spoon feed it from a highchair Well did you try making plane noises??? tHeINFamoUS, ISO_the1, waynem and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceaser Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 my question is how is getting bites on one bait going to give you confidence in getting bites on another type or style of bait. Want confidence in a bait, throw it till your arm falls off, get it re attached and commence casting. biggfeast, MA Frog Man, tHeINFamoUS and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISO_the1 Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 hudd 68, 7" X2 slammer, SPRO BBZ 50 rat, S-waver, 6" bull shad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridaswimb8er Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 I would say you have it pretty well covered for just starting out: Hudds Bullshad the suggestion of a Gan Craft Jointed Claw is solid, maybe a 'gill bait and a rat or Baby Wake for top water and you should be pretty well set.
