Todd --

Our webmaster (and fellow club member), Rob Belloni, just had a great article in Gary Yamamoto's 'Inside Line' magazine, about choosing & using swimbaits (right on, Rob!!!). You might want to see if you can get ahold of a copy (sorry, I'm keeping mine ;-)!)

I personally have yet to catch a fish on one, but I most often hear that a straight, steady retrieve is probably the most effective. Naturally, when you're not getting bit, you're probably going to mix it up a little with a drop or two (or maybe a quick 'burn' retrieve) in the process. A big key is to be sure you rig 'em straight!

Experiment, try 'em out, & let us know what you come up with!
