It's just that I've never thrown one before and thought I would try it out this year. Just hearing some of the stories, I think it would be nice to catch some giant largemouth. For me, the big largemouth are the hardest fish to trick into biting. By the way, I expected you to write a haiku. What's up with that?

Funny question I think...do you really need them? And to which genre of swim baits are you talking? Big baits? Some many variables..... There are 2 soft body that stand out in my mind for smallmouth, hard to beat a rocks top shelf or swim babe's tiny e in water shallower than 8 feet, water deeper than that I prefer a Sniper Lure Swim bait which is just like the TW swimmer in size and shape. I like the revenge Swim bait heads. For hard swim baits for smallmouth I have done really well on either light trout or white 6" triple trout.
Thanks
For the KGM TW Swimmer 475, what size swimbait head would you recommend? I was looking at the Revenge Swimbait Hedz on the Tackle Warehouse site and would welcome your recommendations or other brand and size opinions. Thanks.

Only 2 for big largies?? I really think the new 8'' Savage gear 3D line thru trout will be killer here based off my results this year w/ a similar hard bodied swimbait. Summer time the 9'' MS Slammer can be hard to put down. I love, love the Hudd's as about everyone has already mentioned. The Hiroshima Customs glide is the real deal. If your serious about it and stick to it, you'll naturally want to expand your arsenal for different times of year, different patterns, specific lakes ect.

hey Ryan, the savage line thru is reminiscent of the Castaic catch 22 except the hook is on top. The catch 22 had the mesh running thru the bait as well to help with durability. I caught some fish with them as well, does this new savage gear bait have the same swimming action as the older catch 22 since it has almost the same exact design?

Hey Tag, how are you fishing the Kong? I have a 6" Perch SS I picked up on Ebay a few years back and have yet to wet it. I plan on throwing a few more big baits this spring and summer for Bass, throw plenty for Musky.

Hey Ryan,
There are a number of different retrieves for jointed swimbaits and it seems like you have to experiment to determine the best speed(s) and cadence(s) each time you're on the water. This particular evening I was fishing a half to a full cast off of deeper weed edges where I'd located perch and smallmouth. I was letting the bait sink down near the bottom and I was ripping it aggressively to trigger reaction strikes.
I'm a fan of the Hudd 68 and the Keitech Fat Swing series. These are the two kinds of swimbaits I have used the most thus the success and confidence. I think if you throw it with devotion in appropriate situations all of the baits mentioned can be very successful in this state on both species.
