Just curious if others think the loaded Redfin is now sort of obsolete due to Daiwa SP Minnows, Yo-Zuri Mag Darters, etc. |

Totally different beasts for me. That's like comparing a bucktail jig to a pencil popper. |

I don't think it's an old versus new plug debate either as I use unweighted redfins when most are throwing magic swimmers. Actually have never even owned a Magic Swimmer. Still think the redfin imitates a herring just fine.
I like a loaded redfin OK, but have caught mostly small fish on them. I know from others they produce so it's probably just a confidence thing with me.
But when big bait and big fish are our present, I think the SP is the best swimmer out there. Something about the action, the darting, the pause and suspension seems to attract better size fish...
