For Northwest Oregon: (sorry, guys. I know this is "CAL"fishing, but I learn so much from you and there is nobody up here to talk to about swimbaiting- he he) In order: #1: Hudd rof12 RB or Kokanee. #2: Hudd rof5 for s l o w presentations and senko type falls. #3: Mattlures, 6" trout in Coho color or Male Bluegill, or baby bass in yellow perch color- all great. #4: the original Optimum!! swims great, goes DEEP and comes in lot's of small sizes for our small bass and smallmouths, plus you don't worry too much about deep probing with them cause there not too espensive, plus fish in Oregon arent wised-up to swimbaits, yet so they still look great to our fish. #5: Osprey 6" inline or 7" FBT in whatever color feels good. Now, please don't share this list with anyone from Oregon and yes, I know I need to expand to hardbaits and I eventually will. Babysteps. Dave
