Okay you guys your going to let me have it, I know. I have many of the Cali swimbaits used for Largemouth bass. I got into them three years ago after trying Surf plugs with great success. They don't come cheap, but neither do todays surf plugs. In the North East the world record will never be broken, but out west the fish of a life time is possible. These guys who make these plugs are making a killing on the trophy hunter. If someone was to ever catch the next world record bass he or she would be a millionare over night. So to these crazy bass nuts $40 or even $100 is nothing for an edge to bring them closer to that fish. I'm not saying that the whole thing is right. I'm just saying that these guys have started a trend on the west coast and it's starting to catch on here in the east. Many of my trophy largemouths do come on swim baits and I am one of the few to blame for starting the use of swim baits here in the east coast. They do work. yes some are outrageous in price, but more resonable ones do catch fish and the rago rat is an amazing fish catcher. I think that if some of you plug makers got into some of the trout patterns and rat like lures you could make a killing here in the east. Billy Q is one of the top trophy bass fisherman around and his nowledge of such baits is great. he has also caught on the the new trend. So if any one wants to see some of these cali wooden baits just let me know. I have many even the 3:16, and I already know I need help...lol
