Swimbaits 6" and Larger

The Huddleston Deluxe 68 Special Swimbait features an unsurpassed level of realism and an action that is in a league of its own. Also, the Huddleston Deluxe 68 Special comes equipped with a razor-sharp top molded hook and a ring underneath the pectoral fins for attaching a trailer hook.

Savvy tournament anglers have been modifying the 6" Huddleston Deluxe Trout by cutting off the tail and replacing it with the tail of an 8" Huddleston Deluxe Trout. So to save time, money, and hassle, Huddleston has developed the Huddleston Deluxe 68 Special, a 6" Huddleston Deluxe Trout with a 8" tail.

The Spro KGB Chad Shad Swimbait is one of the great advances in fishing over the past several years is the development of glide baits. These oversized, single-jointed, hard-bodied fish imitators were created to mimic trout in California lakes but have morphed into replicating large bass prey across the country. The KGB Chad Shad 180 can resemble virtually any baitfish that bass feed on, such as trout, shad, perch, and other types of fish.

The Glide Bait designed by SPRO and KGB Swimbaits has been perfected with experience. Kevin Brightwell, the designer of KGB Swimbaits, has greatly enjoyed the partnership with SPRO. “It’s been a wonderful experience. It’s all been very natural with nothing forced, and we’ve been able to take a proven bait and make something new and fresh based off of that. It all started when I was sourcing hooks and they recognized who I was. After talking about glide baits and some fishing, they asked if I’d like to partner with them. Since then it’s been an awesome partnership.”

Brightwell thinks the KGB Chad Shad 180 will find a home in tackle boxes of anglers at every experience level. “The Chad Shad is one of the most popular baits in my lineup. It’s versatile enough that a beginner can garner results, or a seasoned pro can use it for that big kicker fish to finish out their limit. It delivers the performance of a hand-crafted, fine-tuned bait at an affordable price.”

The Heddon Zara Spook Top Water Bait will always work on surface feeding fish. It's just one of those baits that has the action and colors that evoke a strike. The superior balance and design allow this lure to be cast long distances and walk the dog with ease. The affordable price tag and many different sizes make this a lure all anglers should have in the box.

We like to fish this size on 8-12lb monofilament line with a soft tip rod. Don't work it too fast, sometimes a slow methodical walk the dog action will get them to bite much better than a faster retrieve. If the fish are super fired up, speed it up and then pause it for just a split second.

There is no wrong way, just make sure you try different methods of retrieve if they aren't hitting it and you know they are feeding on the surface. Sometimes going smaller to the Heddon Zara Puppy will get finicky fish to bite. Also try the medium sized Heddon Zara Spook for an average sized bait.

The Megabass Magdraft Swimbait is a beast of a swimbait, meticulously designed, for a thumping tail action that travels through the body, giving the head a subtle side-to-side shimmy that sends vibrations through the water column. Built for trophies, the Megabass Magdraft is equipped with a robust wire-through construction firmly joining line eye to hook for decisive hook-ups and control.

Equipped with a belly slot to hide the hook, and a patented Mag Hold System to keep it in place, the big treble hooks doesn’t get in the way of  the Megabass Magdrafts natural swimming motion. Furthermore, by keeping the hook tight to the body, it hides the treble from wary fish.

Some Magdraft images shown without hooks but all come with hooks and swivel.

Expect a captive audience with an appetite when you sling around the Savage Gear 3D Pulse Tail Trout RTF Swimbait. This "Ready To Fish" fixed-hook version has all the photo-print realism that has made the line-thru Pulse Trout so popular.

The Savage Gear 3D Shine Glide 185 is a slow sinking erratic swimming glide bait. These baits have been deadly on a multitude of game fish from largemouth bass to musky. On a slow retrieve the bait glides from side to side. A pop of the rod tip will increase the darting action. Deadly on a twitch and stop retrieve.

We like to fish this bait slowly with a steady retrieve but there are times when we twitch the rod tip.  It washes out if its fished too quickly and we usually get bit on a slow and steady retrieve.  Another favorite method is to start twitching it as soon as it hits the surface.  A slow methodical upward pump of the rod tip while slowly turning the handle makes this bait flop back and forth on the surface.  Keeping this going can keep the bait in the strike zone longer, giving the fish an irresistible presentation.  

We fish the Savage Gear 3D Roach Shine Glide 185mm on 20lb line with a medium fast action 7'6" rod.  Try one out, we think you'll like it.

The all new Shimano Armajoint 190 Slow Float Flash Boost Swimbaits solve the challenges of casting a big jointed swimbait in search of trophy fish. Lure engineers leverage Shimano's proprietary Arma-Boost technology to significantly increase casting distance and accuracy by reducing unnecessary air resistance and the chances of the lure spinning during flight. As the angler casts the lure, Arma Boost technology facilitates the lure to disconnect from an internal magnet and forces the body to fold into its compact shape. Once the lure hits the water, the lure's body reengages with the magnet to create a smooth and natural swimming action.

The Shimano Armajoint 190SF is a versatile lure that can be retrieved fast or slow, enabling anglers to vary their retrieve depending on the situation. The bait will normally swim in an S-pattern, but the bait will not flare out when stopped due to the fold in its body. Anglers can slow down the receive and pause the to capitalize on the lure's natural slow-rising action. ARMAJOINT also features Shimano's proprietary FLASH BOOST technology that constantly emits a fish-attracting flash during the retrieve — even on the pause — by suspending reflective foil on micro springs to mimic the flashing behavior of an injured baitfish. Designed with purpose by leveraging innovation and technology and improving angler performance while drawing strikes from tournament-winning bass.

Features: 

• Arma Boost to increase a lure's casting distance by folding a jointed lure into a compact shape, reducing air resistance and minimizing the chances of the lure spinning during flight.

• Scale Boost capitalizes on composite-pitch holograms to increase the amount and complexity of light reflected through the water.
