Swimbait throwers

Any of you throw swimbaits? I tried it last year with a mattlures perch.
Im actually thinking about picking up his new Ultimate Blugill. It looks like its going to be a killer bait.

In SoCal and here in AZ swimbaits are must have. I use all Castaic Trout Swimbaits. They are killer baits in the winter and late fall. You may get only one or two bites a day but they will be very quality fish.

Here are some swimbait fish from one of my buddies at Canyon Lake here in AZ

That Bluegill your looking at would be a killer spawn bait. They would go nuts if you got anywhere near a bed with that thing.

I fish in brackish water and find the 3" swim bait to be my favorite lure for all fish (reds, bass, specks, flounder, crappie too). I keep a few bags in my boat. I use storm, berkley and tsumanni (?)....all about the same . I caught a dozen huge specks this week on the lure.....marshbass

I'm giving the Mattlures baby bass swimbait a run this year as well as the ABT Ripshad. Even though there not swimbaits Im gonna give the Lucky Craft RC 3.5 a try. Those cranks are big...
