    I truly appreciate all the detailed information on the various tackle. But the water footage just adds a whole new element. Rather than making assumptions as to how we think a bait will run you show the viewer. That is genius, I've made several recent purchases from the shop just after seeing the swim. Thanks

    I have used reaction innovations swim baits for years and the are very well priced compared to others. I use a belly weighted hook and recently added one to an old inline spinner bait and it creates lots of wake in muddy waters. I have also used the underspin hook as well. Bass Pro also has their version that i like as well

    A good soft tail section, long thin paddle on the tail like a Fringe and Scottsboro Tackle or a wide short one with the bottom squared off like the Spark Shad and Hammer. That’s how I choose my swimbaits. I’ve thrown my arm out of socket and those are the 2 best designs. The others are just filler for the market

    Gambler - EZ and Big EZ - great action and lasts much longer than Keitech - nice groove on top too - I swear by these (old dude - you fish me long time...). Great garlic stink to it. Also the Beast Coast Miyagi - Baby Bass slays in the Northeast . Heavy and big and runs thru the pads like no other - fish it like a frog on that owner weighted hook and pause it in pads, jig it a bit - it sinks a bit and gets EATEN - when it gets slammed it doesn’t pop out of the water - best bait period, for me in the pads. I pause when it gets eaten in pads, click my baitcaster and just feel the line start to run as I thumb it ....wait....then whip it, whip it good and crank that stick back boy - best...feeling...ever. Ribbed for pleasure? psssshhh, try BIG and HEAVY and a STRONG ARCHING THRUST.
