I have been interested in the big swim baits like the BBZ-1 from SPRO and Kong from River2Sea. I haven't had the chance to use them yet, but I would like to know if anyone here has. And what would bet the best time of the year you think these big lures would be best. And also are they better used in the early morning or afternoon. If any body here knows please let me know, I'm looking forward to landing a lunker with one. Thanks.

thanks for all the replies , they are so useful.

I don't guess anyone has used them!  I haven't, so I didn't reply.

I like Castaic Swimbaits. I bought a 10'' Shad Colored fast sinking Soft Plastaic Swimbait and i got to say the action is incredible. The only problem is finding a fish big enough to eat it! But big swimbaits often work very well during the spawn seasons and fall season. They work well in spawn because that bass who is trying to protect her nest will feel threatened by the big lure and will strike at it to kill it. They work well in fall because bass are feeding up for the winter and are trying to get as much food in their bellys as possible. So they will eat bigger fish to get more food. A bass will usually prefer a large prey as opposed to a smaller prey. Because a bass will use the same amount of energy striking at a smaller prey that they do striking at a larger prey. So by eating the larger prey they get more food for the amount of energy put into striking it. Thats why bigger swimbaits work very well in some seasons.
