Some of the coolest experiences in bass fishing can be had with big swimbaits because they will expose a lot of big bass you might not otherwise see. But it would be a lie to say it’s all cool stories all the time. There can be a lot of frustration with hunting bigger bass with big swimbaits and lot of near misses that make you question what you are doing. I think everyone that has thrown big swimbaits has struggled with turning followers into biters at some point.
I’ve had so much success fishing swimbaits deep, that it’s gotten to be all I wanted to fish. But I’ve been fishing big swimbaits shallow a lot more and had some follow days that have had me questioning throwing big baits more recently. So I have been bouncing ideas and experiences back and forth with other big bait anglers.
