I first met Bill Seimantel, who was just voted into the Freshwater Fishing Hall Of fame this year, when I was competing at Table Rock Lake in 1998 for the Big Bass World Championship, the following year he was my brothers room mate in the same tournament. We learned a lot of great techniques from bill during this time and in the future. He really turned me on to using swimbaits back east for trophy bass when not many if any other people were doing this. The things he told us then have accounted for numerous trophy bass on swimbaits that approched the state record. He is a great guy and a real trophy bass hunter. I have some videos of Bill teaching all the things you need to know about swimbaits including tackle, baits and big bass being caught if you want to watch them. They are free as usual. Tight lines, Steve

BIG BASS ON SWIMBAITS

Yes It is an Optimum. The design of this swimbait allows it to slowly suspend in the strike zone longer with its perfectly horizontal fall. It can also be waked slowly on the surface or fished in shallow depths with a slow steady retrieve. It comes pre-rigged with a wire through system assisting its stability. There is a considerable difference in girth and bulk between the six inch and eight inch models. If you need a bait with a large profile and heavier weight, go with the eight inch model, the six inch is an excellent choice for those times when fish are little more finicky and are zoning in on smaller prey. Back East I catch the most bass on the Tru Tungsten 4 inch, the Matt Lures Bluegill and Perch, and a few others from time to time, including all the Storm Wildeye Shad, Smackbaits, etc.. Take a look at a few of the videos for how they are fished. I am checking now to see if I put that one up, I think I did , but if I didn't I will. lol Tight lines, Steve
