sjk984 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I was just at BPS and they had some 4'' swimbaits for half off. I picked up a couple to try next spring.Does anyone use these or tried them even. They are pretty pricey so I am wondering if I should get a few more.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyman013 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I love swimbaits for salmon. Depending on what type you use, you may need to watch your trolling speed. I have run a few too fast and the action wasn't too great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyman013 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 What speed do you run them at. I will be fishing spring coho about 2.0.That speed should work great. I had my best action below 2.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turfwrench Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I have ran the Matzuo 4" swimbaits and have had pretty good success with them for eyes and lakers. They have the paddle tail on them, not the spiral. Purple was killer for the lake trout and seemed to troll real nicely off the downriggers.
