favorite new baits ?

[UYKY]

how about top 3 NEW baits that you are excited about? lets hear what and why!

1.california swimbabes swimbaits -> big profile for big fish bites!

2.dd22 sexy shad -> i am NOT a crankbaiter but have decided that from post spawn through fall I WILL keep one tied on! targeting bigger fish in deeper areas this year.

3.yamamoto pro senko -> looks like i can fish it wacky, shaky and as a jerkbait. very versatile bait for my finesse situations.

What has got you "pumped" for this fishing season?

what has me excited....

my new ranger comanche with a 175 pro xs on it....
huddleston swim bait shad
d and l extreme jigs but to be honest if a person used all the old baits from like 5 or ten years ago they will work just as well if not better than these new baits cause fish come and go.... new baits are good but sometimes the old ones just tweaked abit do just as good......

Just as I was about to post that I LOVED the Red Eye Shad, not because I have ever caught a fish on it but I had a first hand experience FROM THE BACK OF THE BOAT, in getting it handed to me with 10 fish caught on it in about 40 minutes while I am palomaring on every bait in my box trying to find something I had that they would hit. When you go thru all the tackle that I have, pretty much a small bait and tackle shop, and they won't hit any of my offerings, this bait must be pretty good. When all of Chunk's fun stopped and we made a move, it looked like a Used Bait shop had opened up for I had bit off and re-tied so much and just threw them in the bottom of his new Triton. Took me 15 minutes to pick them up and half way organize them back in all the different plano's that I had strung all over my half and most of his half of the boat as well. I LOVE, or is it HATE, the Red Eye Shad.

I will add that the King Shad 4" Jointed Swimbait looks pretty good in the water as well. When I am getting 6 and 8 inch fish to bust this Swimbait, I can't wait to put in front of a few of the Big Girls this coming weekend back at Ky and Barkley. It may not catch a single fish on it again, but I like the way it moves in the water and when you pause it, it sort of turns sideways as to look behind itself. I can only imagine when a MONSTER is swimming up behind this bait trying to decide to hit it or not and I pause it and it turns to see the beast behind itself as to what the strike will feel like. Hoping to find out soon. I only wish it ran a little deeper than about the 2-3 feet than it does.

concur, next thread will be "favorite modifications of old baits" i also enjoy tinkering with baits but i thought this would be a fun post. picked up a red eye shad due to all the positive comments for next guntersville or ky lake trip.
