8" hudd for me. I caught my current swimbait pb on a hudd 68 my first week swimbaiting so naturally I thought the 8" would be killer. Fished it a ton in the same areas I was catching on the 68.  I think in the last two years of fishing it I've had maybe one bite. Somehow I still haven't given up on it yet.

It took me about 15 years to get bit on a hudd.  A rof 12 fish like a jig is my go-to. Drop one on bottom and watch that tail quiver to get the deal.

Soft baits,8"hudds and hawghunters. Plenty of fn followers. But no bitters I've only caught 2 8"hudd fish and they were both under 3 in the . I will have 1or the other tied on this season. Probably the way I'm presenting them . Keep grinding

4x4 works best tied direct and fished like a crankbait using a fiberglass rod over structure. Bang it. 

Its not a deep so max i can get it is like 3ft on a burn lol i just slow wake it normally and noo love lol so i switch up to the crank and also no love lol

Soft Swimbaits in general give me a really hard time. I just don’t know how to trigger the bit. Only time I get bit is when I’m rippin em out of the grass or something not ideal like that. 

Same. I very rarely have luck on soft baits

The Depps 250 is the most overrated bait of all time imo. The workhorse has also been an early disappointment for me too.  I consider myself an experienced glide bait fisherman too. 

opposite for me. 250 is my go to in the post spawn through fall but Im very precise where I fish it. On lakes that get lots of swimbait pressure I WILL NOT throw it. ill pick up the hiro or islide or softbait
