Which Magic Swimmer do you use?
Just starting to look at the Sebile Magic Swimmers and was curious which ones folks are using. Thanks in advance for the info.

Canal Bait and Tackle Swimmer. Same action, less than 1/2 the price.

I use a few sizes of the MS a lot. In the spring I use the 1 and 1/2 oz slow sink most of the time around the beaches. In the canal I use the 3oz fast sink and the big azz one forget the weight. The knockoffs do work and are less dough, but some are a little stiff and don't swim as nice make sure its a good one

something clever and related to fishing

I use the bootleg ones... Exact same thing. Sebile prices forced someone to bootleg them, and me to buy them. Pinball machines have a "tilt"... So do plug prices

from what I understand from some of his postings online, he originally was going to make them for sebile and put up his own $$$ to have all the molds made, this is when they started to get real big and couldnt keep up with demand, then sebile was bought by pure fishing and they screwed the guy on the deal, so to recoup his investment back he started selling the clones/knockoffs, guy is great to deal with and will make custom packages for you, I know the CSA guys did a huge custom lot a year or two back from him. |

I'm not sure as to the back story. But great seller and excellent to do business with. 
I'm a big fan of primer white and silver black back. |
Domination takes full concentration..

The knock-off stick shads are great too. (as Chris said, they are technically not even knock--offs!)

I think they did start to remake that color. I just use white spray paint on the unpainted ones I usually buy.
