here's a link to a site that carry's alot of swim baits.
http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/swimbaits.html

I'll post some home pics of a few tomorrow. I'm not staying at home tonight. i think most guys here in the NE are looking for a bass over 10lbs or 10lbs. you could count the number of recorded Largemouths 10 or better on your hands in the last 50 years from MA. So a fish of that size is just like catching a striper over 60. Crazy industry if you ask me.

Hardly an expert Don...just tinkering with some success. I did just finish a couple I made especially for throwing into the ditch! They should imitate herring perfectly...we shall see! I never have had much luck in the Canal, so I guess if I can hook up on these then I must be doing something right.

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
