I was surfing the web today and came across these swimbaits. From the pictures they look pretty awesome. I've had a lot of success using live bluegill to catch big bass, but never any luck with swimbaits of any kind.

Here is some info from there site: (http://www.mattlures.com/bluegillswimbait.htm)

"The Mattlures Bluegill is the most realistic soft plastic bluegill swimbait available on the market today. Each lure is individually hand poured and painted to ensure quality, and accurately display the natural details found in live bluegill. This versatile lure can be fished at various speeds without compromising the action of the lure. Fished as a swimbait, these lures have a life-like, fleeing action that will trigger the natural predatory instincts of big trophy bass. These baits will also wake the surface at a moderate speed. But that’s not where it ends! Drop the bait down on the bottom and the bluegill will maintain a feeding position with little or no effort from the angler.

Twitch the rod tip, and the lure “bounces” on the bottom; nose down, just like a bluegill eating bass eggs. As you can imagine this makes them MAD! The strikes are typically ferocious. Because of the way they “sit ” these bait can alsobe flipped and pitched like a jig. One of my favorite techniques is to slowly swim them past ambush points. The possibilities are endless."




I'm going to give them a shot!!! Anyone else use these baits?
