I have tried a few diff swim baits i really love to throw them but have had limited success on them never threw a hard swim bait.Mainly Berkly hollow belly,Basstrix,and yum in the 4-5inch range.A few fish on them but not enough to have confidence in them.But this year has been strange at laurel for me,This time of year 3-4 years back they was Giant schools of shad being pounded by bass.Now they are very very small school and very little activity.
