i throw sunfish swimbaits as well as trout and perch swimbaits. with swimbaits clear water is nice because the fish can track it from a while away and it draws them in better. If you are throwing a swimbait in the dirtier water then you just need to make sure it thumps to give off that vibration. I like the paddletails or boottails in both clear and dirty water for the vibration they provide.

Austin,

What type of soft swimbaits do you prefer and colors,, I always read about the donkeys they are catching in Calif with trout patterns. Is this what you are throwing too. And do you feel you need clear water for a bass to hunt down the swimbait?

All depends on the swimbaits. I use 20lb flouro for most my 6in swimbaits on just my flippin stick with a curado 7:1. Then i have an 8ft dobyns 6 power for my bigger swimbaits with a calcutta with braid. I will throw a swimbait pretty much anywhere i can.

Nice fish,, 

I am wanting to learn more about swimbait fishing, what do you recommend for lines, baits, reels and areas to throw swimbaits?

I also like how Clark smiles.  Makes me want to believe he is human and not just a bass catching metal substructure with tissue like exoskeleton.

Caught em all on soft swimmers. But man they sure ate em well. The strikes were nothing short of vicious.
