WORKING THE SWIMBAITS FOR A VARIETY OF TARGETS

[Slip Sinker]

...

If you are not using swim baits this time of year you are missing out! This time of year I am tagging Northern Pike, White Bass, Crappie, Small Mouth and Largemouth Bass on the Berkley Olive Green Ripple Shad swim bait specifically. I swim it, scratch the bottom, troll it, work it through different levels of the water column, hop it and rip it fast through the swim. Deadly, deadly and deadly!

Some great articles by In-Fisherman relative to swim baits.

Gonna have to bring my swimbaits  to Chippewa Bay ,1000 islands NY  in September and see how they produce . The ability to work them through the column at various speeds is a great testament to their versatility. I have to pick up some slimmer profiles as the ones I have are Storm fatter bodies .They work also and are good Summer baits .

Good luck on that trip John... sounds like a blast.

I consider it an all season bait especially in the spring and fall.

Slip,

You are going to make a brutha spend some hard earned cash on some swimbaits this week and give them a try. Those ripple shads look very realistic IMO
