Those Storm swim baits sure look real, makes me want to get some crackers and mustard. Has anyone been caught by them. Did you have any results. Has anyone cast them into the swimming pool to see how they move. I saw some that looked just like lake shiner. I reminded me of that massacre at Lake Hall last week. I can make a bait look like it's dying. What's the straight poop on these things?

The ones that look like a bream or spec, you have to swim REALLY slow. They also work well if you let them sink and then hop them off the bottom like a worm. Remove the treble hook to get less weeds.
I used a bait similar to that by Calcutta called a swim shad last spring....Used the pink and electric chicken in 3" under a ct and as a jig..They sure looked natural and did catch fish but didn't last enough to keep using them...pins and other stuff tore em up pretty quick....
I had a pile of them in many different sizes and flavors...gave most of them to my son, the Turtle, who took them offshore and promptly caught the snot out of grouper & black rock bass last year (Shhhh, don't be tellin' them off shore guys or they will be buying them all up now). I'm still waiting on him to buy me some more (actually, I kept the smaller ones that I found works great guns for Georgia pond bass & speckled perch)! Of course, I never did get a chance to try them inshore, but it sounds like some of you may have found another lure to hook up with - it always tickles the fire out of me to find out what catches a fisherman's attention, the lure or the fish?
A buddy of mine named White Trout down in Buras, LA taught me to use clear heat shrink tube on the nose to make em last a lot longer. It works great on the Tsunami lures, and should work on these as well.

I have never really liked them. I tried them years ago at Lake Lanier for striper but like Sube said the striper will hit anything when they are feeding. I have a couple of bags in the boat but I don't fish with them.

I've got some extra space in my boat!
