While Im no expert I have done some experimentation with all kinds of gibbs lures I think sandman said something about changing to VMC do it before you swim it gibbs hooks tend to be dull. If you know what yer doing change out the swivels too they corrode up quick.

I work the swimmer in the canal almost parallel to the shore because thats how the fish that size run through. Unless there's a huge school of mackrel or something. I run it iratic, high speed for about 5 seconds [like it's running] this let's the bass think it's panic then they'll think easy pickin, then give it a jerk and wait for about 5 more seconds repeat. When you fell a hit dont move let them take it [I know I repeating some well known stuff] the stun shot is the same as on top water. What bigfish said is essential or else it looks like a tail-less peice of junk and they ain't gonna hit it.

On the beach run it parallel and teaser it [liek sand man said]no bass is gonna belive readily that a big fish like that is just swimin around aimlessly. The simmer should have a tight swimming action so dont be afraid to modify to improve. Im with sandman on running it in rips it really brings out the action.

Enjoy it thier alot of fun
