Thanks Matt for not taking the opportunity to slay your competition. That says a lot about how you are running your business. Mickey Ellis was the same way when I spoke to him last week. What a cool guy. I am relatively new to this idea of swim baits, but I have been watching you "west coast boys" for a few years now. Drop-shotting is now easier for me, but that took time and practice and a lot of laughing at from my friends. but know it is working dn they are not laughing anymore. I have been using cheaper swim baits for a while now, I.E. Storms and knock off charlies, and if good, more costly swim baits work better, I can hardly wait for ice-out. I do plan on buying some good swim baits soon. I saw a Triple trout go for well over $152 on ebay last week. Is that crazy? Are they really that good? Are they a wood bait or composite bait? Thanks Matt. I think I will stick with Mickeys stuff, your stuff, Huddlesons stuff, 22nd century. Any others you can suggest that are worth the price? Thanks Matt. -Greg BASSNIPER

Perry, What are the baits (and sizes and depths) besides the Hudds you mentioned for here in Chicago? Thanks for the info- I am so psyched for springtime.
When you went after muskies, or were at least in muskie waters, you had to have used a liter, right? How big did you go on that?
What patterns(colors) were you using here in the Windy city? If there are not trout in a lake/pond, will bass still try to eat it? I would think so as they have never seen it before and are curious creatures.
If you were me and new to these baits, what would be on your wish list to purchase for Chicagoland fishing? Remember, I am new to this, so full manufacturer names and length, depth, and color descriptions would be greatly appreciated. Did you ever get out on Lake Michigan and throw a swim bait for smallies and LMB? What type was it and did it work?
I fish out of East Chicago Marina with a good friend for smallmouth bass. Will they hit a swim bait in a big lake like this? What might I use?
Thanks Perry. I may have a few more questions for you. -Greg BASSNIPER
