Swim Bait's/Who's are better? 2024
ABLE2DISABLE1 reply :
The Kick-Tail was made by Scott Wilson a good number of years back.It was also banded from all Tournament's, from Flw,Bass,{Redman-BFL}and may be a few other's,not shure. But the Kick-Tail,BBZ,and this6-8 inch XBuster is awsome.What do you think, to big, or not big enough?

I'm curious... did you re-create the fish poses or do you cut off your lures with each fish caught and cooler both of them together, for the pic later?
NateFollmer reply :
Um, ok...
I like Tru-Tungsten and Strike King swimbaits. I haven't been using the hard swims for very long though, so I haven't tried many other brands (the cheapo ones from Dick's aren't very durable, I forget the brand name).
Never seen a swimbait like that before...

Every time I hook a fish I come into my office space,{laundry room}and take a photo then go back outside and release them.But the other remarks are for those who have a few Smart phrases about them.No constructive criticism,nor imagination,about them,just plain dew of the Lilly,Shake it well,boys.Steve Wilson invented the first swimbait that I know of.{ Kick Tail-NGCsports}

When was this? I wouldn't be so sure that it was the first "swimbait."
BTW, the Kick Tail is right up there with the Helicopter Lure and Banjo Minnow IMO. They may catch fish, but there are MUCH better options to use.

Heres one of the first swimbaits of this new wave of swimbaits. They have been around since the early 1900s. This one was made in the 80's and more or less launched the bigbait craze in the west.
Oh, also

1st pic is of the very first swim bait's ever produced, started in 1950's and ended in the 80's unknown reason for being discontinued.{Plastic Lure} 2nd is when this man developed the craz in California with his designes for a swim bait, ranging from 20$ to 300$.{ Hard Body }
fourbizz reply :
Wow. You truly have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
A. The vivif was not the first swimbait.
B. The man you posted a picture of was named Dave. He started making those baits in probably 2005 or 2006. I have hung out with him several times and even got the tour of his bait building shop at his home near Casitas. He was a very cool dude, had a heart attack last year. He was in his mid 30's. Pretty sad.
ABLE2DISABLE1 reply :
Very sad to here this,of Dave passing he had brought the swim bait to a whole new level, in my eye's.

What he's getting at is that they're gimmick lures...
ABLE2DISABLE1 reply :
Gimmic or not.I personally had purchased a pencil popper key chain ,that looked really nice for a blue gill pattern.It's just a key chain.I used it on a local tournament, and me and my partner took first place.There are alot of gimmics out their for are eye's to choose from,do they work.Of course they do,if presented right.We won it with 22lb's plus.Over all for the yr.was67.17 lb's.If it wasn't for that key chain sold at 7-11, we may have placed second for the yr.A fluke of course, but you never know.

The line's what?
Mattlures reply :
Ok I have to jump in. I didnt know anybody was gulible enough to believe those adds. The kicktail was NEVER banned from any tournament, neither was the walking worm, or any other highly advertised infomecial bait. Here is a little hint. When the article you read is outlined, its an ad. It is designed to look like a real article but its just a tricky ad. As for the first swimbait, thats a tough one because eveything is considered a swimbait now. The term "swimbait" originated with the soft bodied saltwater baits like the old worm kings. As for the best of the multi jointed shad baits, I would have to say the 3:16 freestyle shad.

I think he is kind of giving it away here...
As a serious medical note, you should wear a shirt more often. With a tattoo faded that badly, you are obviously exposed to the Florida sun more than necessary. Skin cancer is a very dangerous thing.
Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
ABLE2DISABLE1 reply :
You all can make fun if you want, but I was trying to figure out what favorite swim bait's you all prefer to throw, But you all got to admit one thing it Has Been allot of fun at MY expense,which is fine by me.I'm not the king on the water and I'll be the first to admit this ,at least I don't try to Know it all,just a little.I'm the first to learn some thing new and I love to tear up a bait { plastic,hard body,Wire} to figure some thing else to do with it.So tight Line's All and keep it up, and before I forget my Tat is a large mouth that was hit on the head with a brush hog, and sun cancer has not seen me yet,thanks to the man upstairs, just a lot of fun in the sun.And myself was hit by a Semi Truck, 86,000 lbs of moving steel crunch my Maxy Van like an accordion, messed me up good upstairs as to my neck was snapped in two, the Doctor didn't know how I survived.Gotta love the Jokes.

Not everyone is a computer/typing/posting/photo taking genious.Some don't care to be either. The fish don't care either way.Anyone can blab their mouth across a computer screen too.It doesn't take a special skill or giant balls to be a smartass on the internet.
(this has been a funny thread though )
ABLE2DISABLE1 reply :
Get this, The joke might be on me,but the computer is on all, and the others who think a computer can catch fish.I buy it all, and if it doesn't work I'll modify it.I would love to see some one tie on a lab top and catch fish. ;D ;D that would be cool,WWW.Catchmeafish.net, and if that doesn't work Down Load the Program that does.

That was my guess. I know the webcam I have out in the living room is pure garbage. The autofocus is a joke. If you fart next to it, it'll blur the image.

I'm glad everyone is being pleasant and having fun.
BTW, the Kick-Tail has never been banned from tournament
fishing. That's a marketing ploy. Surprisingly, it doesn't "outfish
live bait 4 to 1" either! I keep a set in my tacklebox just to
remind me NOT to buy any of these scam baits again!
Now, before we get off track and into a fight, let's move on.
We haven't seen much of Irene lately, but she's back!
