I have rcently put some money into swimbait fishing, as you know, Keith, they have caught some rather hefty GA bass lately. I bought several Mattlures swimbaits, as well as a :dunno: I'm drawing a blank. Also got an Okuma rod to fish them with, and a revo stx. :cool2: I will let ya'll know what I think of my new equipment whenever it arrives and I have a chance to fish it. I plan on throwing a baby bass on a lake that recently produced about 15 or more nonkeepers. Hopefully I will get my fishfinder working this weekend, and go back there next weekend to hit the best spots. I will have to go back and look at my trash bin to see the lures I ordered. There was one that would probably work well in your lakes, Keith. It was a hitch color, 6", daggum if I can remember the brand. Oh, I've seen Optimum swimbaits. Do they really work, Tom? The ones I've seen are ugly, and look cheaply made. I don't know if I'd ever have the confidence in one to throw it. Also, does huddleston make shad- colored or other colors besides trout? Thier lures are sharp, but big for what I want to get into this category.
